SKEENA LANDS ARE SOUGHT FOR ORCHARDS Expert of Agricultural Department Has Gone Up the River to Locate Experimental Plots on Which to Plant Fruit Trees—Will Visit Porcher Island Also and Look Into Possibilities There J. F. Carpenter, of the department of agriculture, Victoria, arrived in the city on the last trip of the Prince Rupert. He will leave for up the Skeena where he will meet the farmers in the different settlements and 100k Into the possibilities for fruit growing and general agriculture. He has brought with him about 700 trees for planting experimental orchards. The representatives of the department will proceed to Kltsumkalum first, using that as a base. There he will have the trees properly cared for and as he makes selection of places to plant, the trees will be forwarded to be used. Mr. Carpenter will take the utmost care to see that the nursery stock finds its way to the very best locations so that a ful' test may be made, The department is very anxious that the fullest information may be obtained relative to the district so that intending settlers may be given exact information on the subject and be prepared for what is before them. At the present time Mr. Carpenter says it is difficult to get the information desired. The department wishes to avoid all chance of any deception being used. There are many inquiries about the possibilities of the north and those making the inquiries will, as a result of the visits of the representatives of the department to this territory this year, be in a position to state quite definitely as to the possibilities. The planting of the orchards will be followed by a watch being kept on the trees and the department hopes to gain a lot of additional facts with respect to the horticultural possibilities in the next few years. On the return from the Skeena Mr. Carpenter will visit Porcher Island and look into the opportunities there. He will study the soil and the genera] conditions in the hope of ascertaining what is the best that' can be done by setttlers there. The horticultural end is not the only one which Mr. Carpenter will devote attention to. He will study the different sections from every standpoint as related to farming in the hope of being able to give settlers exact advice as to the lines of farming to pursue in the different sections. Up to the present there has been considerable conflict In the information furnished the government. This summer's work on the ground undertaken by Mr. Carpenter, Mr. Weir and Mr. White will give an opportunity to find first what the conditions are in all this vast country and will form the foundation for additional information. Mr. Carpenter is taking the opportunity of coming into close touch with all the settlers possible so that he may make the very best use of the short visit he will pay here. NE TEMERE DECREE Rev. Dr. Chown of Methodist Church Objects to it-He Expressed His Views Before Church Gathering Asks Methodist Conference to Make Formal Protest Against Announcement (Special to The Journal) VANCOUVER, May 12.—The British Columbia Conference of the Methodist church, which is in session here, was addressed by Rev. Dr. Chown, of Toronto, who dealt with the ne temere decree. "We cannot, as Canadians," said Dr. Chown. "allow the interference of any foreign power with the civil and religious liberties of our country. We cannot in this free country permit a decree which declares any marriage sanctioned by our civil law to be Illegal. I suggest that you appoint a committee to ge intelligently Into the matter and make a formal protest." Rev. A. B. Roberts, of Victoria, has been elected to succeed Rev. R. N. Powell as president of the conference for the year. R. F. Stillman has been elected secretary. o ENGINEERS' EXAMINATIONS Inspector Baxter, of Victoria, Is Here Passing Upon Those Seeking Certificates Samuel Baxter, inspector of boilers, with head office in the parliament buildings, Victoria, is in the city this week, conducting examinations for those seeking certificates under the provincial act. Quite a number of applicants have presented themselves.

In the afternoon of that day there will be a grand contest among the various Indian bands in the district. The competition will be for a silver cup preslented by J. S. Gray and other prizes which have been donated locally. Practically all the bands In the district have consented to be present. TRIALS IN VICTORIA No Assize Court Will be Held in Prince Rupert This Spring According to Decision at Capital Change of Venue in the Assault Cases Has Been Granted by Attorney General (Special to The Journal) VICTORIA, May 12:—The strong representations recently made to the attorney general's department from Prince Rupert in an effort to secure an assize court there, from all present indications, will prove futile.

There will be quite a large numher of witnesses to go south. HOSPITAL FINANCES Balance Sheet Shows a Good Balance to the Credit of the Institution Question of Contract Patients Comes up Before the Board—Plans Proposed The board of directors of the hospital met yesterday afternoon in the office of P. I. Palmer. The balance sheet of the institution was presented by the auditors, Stewart and Stuart, showing that the hospital was in a most gratifying position with respect to its resources. The assets showed a balance over the liabilites of over $43,000, which was the subject of favorable comment by the different members of the board. Arising out of this audit the question of increased insurance came up and it was decided that the finance committee should look into this matter and report upon what additional insurance should be placed upon the building and contents. The committee will report at the next meeting of the board but it is altogether likely that-there will be a recommendation for additional insurance. The auditor's report was as follows: Revenue Account RECEIPTS Donation of 18 lots by B. C. Gov't and G. T. P. Ry. Co., assessed value $17,900.00 B. C.

The president, Mayor Manson, of the committee told of the different meetings that, had been held with the medical men of the city. He explained that there were (Continued on Page Eight) BUILDING UP CENTER Copper City Townsite and Adjacent Property Will be Cleared This Summer Sawmill to Be Ereoted There to Meet Needs of Settlement Among the recent arrivals in the city is W. Saunders, of Copper City. He has come north to look after the development of the town with which he is so prominently identified. Mr. Saunders is the original owner of the townsite of Copper City and has in view further investments there. He will make arrangements for the 3tartin got a sawmill there either himself or through some one else. In any event he will have the mill in operation at a very early date. This will supply the settlers with the necessary lumber for their use and at the same time will be used in sawing ties and other timber for the railway. There is a ferry operating at this point from the railway side of the Skeena, this having been put in last year by Mr. Saunders. The ferry will serve to carry the lumber required to the railway side of the river, while the location of the town- site is advantageous for the supplying of the Copper River country which lies as a hinterland to Copper City. Another means of opening up the territory which Mr. Saunders has in view is the commencing of a land clearing scheme close to the place. He will take up a donkey engine and all other equipment necessary and stump the townsite, following this up with stumping operations on the 1,000 acres of land which he holds close to the townsite. His intention is to subdivide this area as cleared into ten acre sections and place it on the inarktt as fruit land, for which it is admirably adapted. Mr. Saunders has the greatest faith in the Skeena River valleys and says that there is the greatest interest manifested in the south in that district. He has always had the utmost faith in the Copper City as an important centre and this faith is being constantly strengthened. It is the natural avenue through which will pass the trade with the great mineral and mining sections which are to bi "ound in the Copper River and Lakelse districts. With the carrying out of the improvements which he contemplates, the district will be put in a most enviable position and settlement should follow very rapidly. The acreage which is held by Mr. Saunders is regarded as first-class farm and horticultural land. o VISITS LOCAL LODGE District Deputy Grand Master McDonald, of the Masonic Order, on Official Trip This week, Tsimpsean Lodge, A. F. & A. M., were taken by surprise by having the E.ttrict Deputy Grand Master, Mr. McDonald, of Vancouver, suddenly put in an appearance. Notice had been sent, but the absence of Mr. Christiansen from the city, to whom the notice was sent, left the lodge ignorant of the intended visit. He was accompanied on his visit by Worshipful Master J. Irving, of Vancouver. Last evening the visiting official met the members of the lodge, leaving again this morning for Vancouver. After the usual ceremonies the local lodge conferred the third degree upon a member. Following this the members and the visitors retired to the banquet room, where refreshments were served under the charge of Mr. Corley, of the Royal. Toasts and speeches followed. Mr. McDonald is an early resident of Vancouver, and in Prince Rupert he saw the repetition of the early days of the southern city. He, however, feels satisfied that Prince Rupert will have a much quicker growth than Vancouver has had. He was exceedingly well pleased with the conditions he found here and was agreeaply surprised to see the amount of work already accomplished.. o C. Van Arsdol, division engineer of the Grand Trunk Pacific, has relumed to the city. EFFORT TO LOCATE SMELTER IN CITY Board of Trade Take Steps to Urge Upon Granby Company Advantage of Locating Their Works in Prince Rupert—The Purchase of The Hidden Creek Mining Property Seems Assured The return this week of M. K. Rodgers, of the Hidden Creek Mines, and the party of Granby officials revives interest in the deal pending for the purchase of the controlling interest by the Granby Company. The bond has until the middle of June to run so that no immediate action is necessary, although F. M. Sylvester, assistant general manager admitted that the decision to purchase or to release the property will, in all probability be decided upon the report to be made by the ofifclals on this visit. It is generally understood that the report will be such that the property will be taken over. Mr. Rodgers, the original owner, said the work done showed the property in a better light than he had expected, both as to quality of ore and also as to values. Mr. Sylvester and other officials of the Granby Company, also were agreeably impressed with it and stated there was a great showing of ore. The bond on the group, if taken up, makes the Hidden Creek one of the most promising copper-gold propositions on the coast. It is $400,000 for an 80 per cent interest, Mr. Rodgers retaining the minority interest. A small payment was made last fall and development work has been in progress ever since. This work comprises drifting and cross-cutting in tunnels, as well as diamond drill work. On the visit to the property, the company officials were accompanied an eminent New York expert, B. B. Lawrence, and his assistant, Mr. Julihn, a well-known mining engineer. During the visit to Prince Rupert members of the board of trade took occasion to meet the officials and urge upon them the advantage of locating the smelter, which will follow the purchase, in this city. The advantages were set forth and the members of the board of trade yet hope that the Granby Company may see its way clear to locate here. Mr. Sylvester, when Interviewed on the subject, said that in the event of the mines being taken over there would likely follow in less than a year's time the erection of a smelter. With respect to the location of it the natural place would be in close proximity to the mines. A conversation with him revealed the fact that the ore while of good value was, nevertheless, what would be considered low grade. It was necessary, therefore, to have the reduction works as close as possible to the point of production. In locating in Prince Rupert there was the disadvantage that at present neither ore in quantity nor fuel were in close proximity. Both essential supplies would have to be carried to the works. At Goose Bay there was (Continued on Page Eight) OLD OFFICIAL RESIGNS E. B. McKay Surveyor General Has Retired From the Public Service at Victoria MADEG.T.P.

Toliuie Clime Here to Make Examination of Animals of Settlers from I'nitod States Among the arrivals In ihe city on Wednesday evening was Dr. K. F. Tolmie, of Victoria, who Is veterinary Inspector under the Dominion Government In the province. The visit of Dr. Tolmie was one made necessary by the arrival of a settlers' live stock, which came through without the proper inspection and certificate from Seattle. Through ignorance of the regulations the stock was shipped from Seattle without the necessary inspection. It was intended to be taken ihto the Skeena district. The matter was adjusted by Dr. Tolmie making the trip to Prince Rupert and here making the necessary inspection and formally passing the animals. Dr. Tolmie is a member of one of the oldest families on the coast. His visit to Prince Rupert, however, s the first one for him. Speaking of the outlook of the place, he was very optimistic. The courage of the citizens was likewise the subject of favorable comment from him. The way In which the rocks were being The townsite of Houston, in the Bulkley valley, has been formally recognized by the Grand Trunk Pacific as one of its mainline towns. In doing so the company puts its seal upon that place, guaranteeing that it will be one of the centres which will be recognized from the start. The local interests controlling the townsite, Law-Butler Company and W. S. Benson, have completed arrangements with the railway company by which tlie latter takes an interest in tlie lots and will issue the deeds for them. Houston has been recognized by the promoters as the principal town of the Bulkley. It has been selected from Its strategic position as the distributing centre for the Babine, the Francois Lake and Ootsa districts. The fact that the railway company has recognized the site is a further assurance of its desirable location. Lois are selling in this beautifully situated agricultural centre very steadily and Pleasant Valley, in which it is located promises to be a model farming district. Buyers in taking advantage of the lots at present prices will be In an advantageous position when the railway construction begins in that district in earnest. o «.

He Was Brought up to the Police Business—Common Sense Solves Mysteries William J. Burns, the detective who arrested the men who are alleged to be mixed up in the crime of blowing up the Los Angeles Times and other buildings, promises to be very much in the limelight for a while. Recently he was selected by the American Bankers' Association to trace up robberies and suspicions of robberies, nad he left the United States federal secret service to take this work—the protection of 11,000 banking institutions against frauds, defalcations and robberies. The William J. Burns National Detective Agency is his organization, with headquarters in New York, brandies in all parts of the country and representatives in all parts of the world. After sixteen years in the secret service bureau of the treasury department, during which he never disappointed his chiefs on a single case to which he was assigned. He has inagurated his career as a private detective by obtaining the one largest commission procurable. Everyone in the west, and also everyone anywhere who has followed the San Francisco municipal graft and the timber land fraud prosecutions, knows William J. Burns, who is called "Never Fail." Those two vital cases were his post graduate course in his profession and gave him a record that makes him without question one of the greatest detectives of his time. But few persons beyond those who have been directly associated with him are familiar with his personality or with the steps that have brought him into national prominece. When a reporter entered the offices of the new detective agency a few days ago he was ushered into a room wliere a quietly dressed business man sat at a small desk. At least the reporter saw no particular difference between William J. Burns and any prosperous business man until he slid into a seat a few feet away. It is not a correct estimate of his appearance to say that William J. Burns might be a lawyer or a manufacturer or a promoter or a physician. He might, but the observer would know at a second glance that he is none of these things. There is something about him that puts him outside the ordinary professional or commercial class—a suggestion of keen, fearless, detecting intelligence in his wide, clear eye; an Impression of bodily and mental alertness in the set of his head and shoulders; au indefinable hint of an ulterior outlook and judgment behind his frank, ready, unhesitating manner. Perhaps one would not go up to him in a crowd and point him out as a detective, but havin gonce known him as such one would certainly say that he is well equipped for his particular line of effort. And still there is little of the ordinary policeman as popularly conceived about Mr. Burns. He is of medium height, with just a tendency to weight, soft reddish hair and mustache, light brown eyes and small hands and feet. He does not look a day over thirty-seven, though he is considerably more than that, and his cheeks are almost chubby. For the rest, he has the quiet command and repose of the man of action who is sure nf himself and his abilities, talks well and is without pose or affectation. "I was brought up among detectives and to the business of catching criminals," he said easily In answer to a question. "My father was a police commissioner in Columbus, Ohio, and while 1 was still a boy I was able to study police methods and to aid in solving crimes. It attracted me, and when I became older I drifted into it naturally. "The first case of any importance on which I was engaged was in Ohio. There was a big uproar over election frauds perpetrated by means of forged tally sheets. I picked up some Information, and, being near the authorities through my father, was asked to work on the case in earnest. I accepted and obtained a part of the evidence and uncovered the crimes and convicted those responsible for them. After that I was employed by a private agency In St. Louis for a time, and in 1890 I went into the secret service, where I remained until 1906, when I took up the San Francisco graft case." "How about your methods, Mr. Burns; deduction,"—began the reporter. "Nothing to it," said the detective vigorously. "I see what you're coming to. You mean these mysteries built up with a pen and solved by the color of cigar ashes. Whenever you hear a man talk about clearing up a crime the way Conan Doyle or Gaboriau work it out in print you can know he's a bunk talker. "The only thing that goes for a detective is just plain common sense. It's not nearly so brilliant or so attractive or such good material for fii'tion as the genius of Sherlock Holmes. But it's the way that criminals are captured and convicted. I apply to my business simply the ordinary principles of system an' foresight and practical handling of facts and patient investigation that a man does who runs a store or a factory. And I do it without going into a trance. "Do I start out with a theory? Well, yes. When you have enough threads In your hands you fall in with a theory, of course. But I never let the theory run away with me. A theory is a pretty flimsy thing that it isn't safe to hang too much on. I always make my theory fit my facts, and not the other way about. If a man lets himself get too fond of his theories he can't give very much unbiased attention to the truth." In 1906 Mr. Burns gave up his position with the government and went to San Francisco to help Prosecutoi Heney in his fight against the corrupt municipal ring. He obtained the confessions from members of the board of supervisors and all the important evidence that brought about the conviction of Mayor Schmitz, "Boss Abe" Ruef and others. He it was, also, who discovered that the defence had managed to get a former convict, Morris Haas, un the jury at the Ruef trial. "Haas stole into the court room one day," said Mr. Burns, in relating his more recent adventures, "and got behind Heney and myself. A policeman grabbed him before he could make a move and put him out. He got back a few days later and shot Heney through the beau. Before Haas committed suicide in jail he confessed that he had meant to kill both of us. But that was a detail. It was touch and go all the way through, and when they offered me $100,000 as a bribe to gel out, I wasn't even surprised." o IMPROVED SERVICE If you want the honey That comes from the hive Take up the phone and Call one, double five. \ I!. Will Give a Through Train from Toronto to Vancouver Tliis Season Toronto citizens will after June 4 be able to travel direct to Vancouver by through Canadian Pacific Railway train. The Canadian Pacific has long had this service under consideration, as under former conditions citizens traveling to the coast over their lines had to make connections at Winnipeg with the Iniperiol limited or the Pacific expresses from Montreal. By the new arrangement Toronto people will be able to go direct to the coast without change, which is a change of great importance. Just how the train will be made up has not been decided as yet, but it will be fully up to the standard of the famous Canadian Pacific imperial limited. It Is probable that some of the luxurious new compartment sleeping cars and compartment library observation cars which the •onipany are now building at their \ngus shops, Montreal, will be Included in the train. This change In the Toronto-Winnipeg-Vancouver service will bo accompanied by other changes in the Montreal end of the Canadian Pacific lines. The imperial limited from Montreal will, as usual, ru l straight through to the coast, but ihe Atlantic and Pacific expresses will, after June 4, be known as the eastern and western expresses, and will be run as a fast train between Montreal and Winnipeg only. This will give practically the same service on these lines as before, as the new train will make connections each way with the through train between Toronto and Vancouver. The new western express train will leave Montreal at 10:10 a. m., and on the return journey will leave Winnipeg at 6:20 p. m., or about 30 minutes after arrival of the train from Vancouver for Toronto. The imperial limited will leave Montreal as formerly at 10:30 p. m. —o — Griggs—A doctor claims that some ailments can be communicated by a handshake. Briggs—Probably he means the grip.

PRINCE RUPERT JOURNAL !tftl^tffl^lffllffllftlffl& 1 GRAND TRUNK PACIFIC 1 TOWNSITE w w ELLISON The only Main Line Town- site in British Columbia in which the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway Company has announced its joint ownership. ELLISON SEE THE OFFICIAL MAP.—The first glance will show you that ELLISON is located at the junction of the Skeena River and the Bulk- ley Valley. The Grand Trunk Pacific has announced that they are joint owners in the townsite of Ellison. Now, my dear reader, you must remember that up to date the Grand Trunk Pacific has not announced that it has any interest in any other main line towsite In British Columbia. Does that start you thinking? STUDY THE MAP and you will find Ellison is where the railway tracks leave navigation. That fact is a very important one for conservative investors to think over. What is known as the Hazelton district covers a territory many miles in extent in every direction radiating from the townsite of Ellison. Mining machinery, ore shipments, smelters, reduction plants and all sorts of mining operations starting up in this rich mineral region, must necessarily have a metropolis, a HUB, a headquarters. If any sane, conservative man can figure out any other spot except Ellison for the hub ef the great commerce of this district, his plan should be very inter esting to the Grand Trunk Pacific officials. It does seem as though these officials, after several years of investigation and engineering, would know just what they were doing when they put their official stamp on Ellison. STUDY THAT MAP.—I desire to say to all parties who are talking townsites in the vicinity of Skeena River and the Bulkley Valley that there will no doubt be several small towns, just the same as one always finds in a mining district. There will be towns in the vicinity of Ellison along branch railways, probably towns at the ends of branch lines made to serve the mines and the collieries, but it will be history repeating itself in regard to the building up of every metropolis. Ellison has every natural advantage, has every earmark of being the future mercantile and financial center of the Skeena River mining district and the entrance to the Bulk- ley Valley. o STUDY THAT MAP and you will find that all of the mining towns and railroad towns around there just beginning to be talked about will only be feeders to the city and port of ELLISON. The Grand Trunk Pacific has put its official stamp on Ellison. Do you believe the company will do as much for townsites owned by individuals as it will for one in which its stockholders are joint owners? If you do, don't buy any lots in Ellison. If you desire to make a permanent investment, or merely to make a little quick money, you must decide for yourself right now. Do you propose to follow the individual townsite promoters or the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway Company. STUDY THAT MAP.—If you desire to put your money into a real estate promoter's townsite you will have many, many opportunities this summer. The average promoter is full of hurrah and red fire. He must enthuse investors of the mail order class with his wares. ELLISON is in the Missouri class. Therefore, I am not telling any fairy tales about it. I am making statements that can be readily verified. o STUDY THAT MAP.—If you want to join that great army of investors-at-long-range, then you should put your money into promoters' townsites. If you want a perfectly safe and sound investment, certain to bring you large profits, then put your money where the Grand Trunk Pacific, after years of careful investigation, have put their money. STUDY THAT MAP.—It is not likely the Grand Trunk Pacific will have any other townsite in British Columbia for sale this year. The officials of the company state that the company is not interested in any townsite in the Hazelton district with the exception of ELLISON. ELLISON is on the bank of the Skeena at its confluence with the Bulkley. You may change railway surveys; you may change the location of towns along the line of road, but you cannot change the geography of the country through which the railway passes. The head of navigation necessarily means an important townsite. Ellison will not only be at the head of navigation but the center of a mining district wonderful in its resources that is now being opened up, and for STUDY THAT MAP.—You will find on the official plan of Ellison that a large part of the town- site has been reserved for future sales, the same as the company has done with certain sections of Prince Rupert townsite. There are, therefore, at this time, comparatively few lots on the market. You must hurry if you want one. LOTS IN ELLISON TOWNSITE AND ROGERS ADDITION FOR SALE which Ellison will be the shipping point both by rail and water. The fact that trains may change engines up or down the line or in the suburbs of the town of Ellison does not amount to shucks in building up a town when such places are compared with a town located where rails and navigation meet. STUDY THAT MAP.—ROGERS' ADDITION to Ellison, only a small parcel of land, lies within eight blocks of the site of the railway station. Lots in this are being offered. I am advising my clients to buy Rogers Addition lots at $150 for inside lots and +z50 for corners. Terms—10 per cent discount for cash, or 10 per cent down and the balance on easy terms; no interest. PRINCE RUPERT British olumbia ^IWWWWWWWW! JEREMIAH H. KUGLER Offices-2nd Avenue Facing Grand Trunk Terminal W w wwwwwwwwi^ INSURANCE MEASURE Lloyd George's Bill to Provide for Old Age Allowances in England. Both Sides of House Give It Support—Some Features of It Details of Lloyd George insurance bill, which is a big scheme of social reform are as follows: Mr. Lloyd George divided his proposition into two parts, one dealing with sickness and the other with unemployment. By the provisions of the measure every worker whose annual earnings fall below the Income tax level of £160, will be coinpul- sorlly insured against illness so as to assure him the receipt of five shillings ($1.20) per week during his incapacity. Toward this the worker will contribute about one-half, the same being deducted from his wages, while the balance will be paid jointly by his employers and the state. The weekly assessment against the insured would be eight cents in the case of a man and six cents in the case of a woman, representing as the chancellor put it "two pints of ale or one ounce of tobacco." Everyone in the class mentioned between the ages of 1G and Of) is Included in the plan. Mr. Lloyd George said that his plan would affect 14,000,000 men and women. Provision is made whereby women will receive thirty shillings in maternity cases on condition that they d onot work for a month following childbirth and for free medical attention for every contributor. The state would also help in the crusade against consumption, providing $7,500,000 to aid local authorities In building sanatorlums, and $6,000,000 toward their maintenance. Although in cases of a permanent disability the sick allowance would be five shillings weekly, ten shillings would be allowed for the first three months in the case of men and seven shillings and six pence in the case of women. Those who can be shown to have invited incapacity would receive no insurance, though any medical treatment wou'd be provided. The chancellor concluded that the total amount to be raised for the dual plan of insurance and the consumption campaign would be $122,- 000,000, of which amount the state would contribute $12,500,000 in the first year. By the fourth year the state's contribution would be almost $27,500,000, but measures for the relief of untold misery in myriads of homes would have been taken. Dealing with the unemployment insurance, the first chancellor said that it would at first apply only to the engineering, shipbuilding and house building trades, involving 2,500,000 workmen. Both the workers and the employers would pay five cents weekly each, the state contributing $3 760,000 a year, or about one-fourth of the total cost. The contributors, when unemployed, would receive a maximum of 15 shilling s and a minimum of seven shillings weekly. No payments would be made In strikes or lockouts. The chancellor was cheered when he concluded his speech. Mr. Austen Chamberlain supported the bill, saying the opposition desired to co-operate in tlie legislation. General approval of the principles of the bill was expressed by the representatives of all parties, although some of the details were criticized. Mr. Henry Forster, one of the Conservative whips, commended the bill. He said the government had embarked upon the greatest legislative experiment ever Introduced in any legislative assembly in the world. CHIEF CONSTABLE AT STEWART J. G. Wightman, from Nelson, has been appointed constable for the Stewart district. Constable Robert Webster, who has been temporarily in charge, has been transferred to Atlin. TOTEM rOLF FOR OTTAWA Brought South from Masset and Will Be Sent to Ottawa by G. T. P. Bearing all the marks, figures and carvings which were gouged in it a half century or more ago by the Indians of the far north, a large totem pole fully sixty feet in length and about three feet in diameter was taken south by the Grand Trunk Pacific from Masset on the last trip of the steamer Henritte. The big stick so grotesquely arranged is to be shipped to Ottawa to be placed outside the Grand Trunk Pacific hotel Chateau Laurier, after It has received the attention of some of the local anthropologists. Showing the age of the odd piece of timber is the fact that it is in rather a bad state of preservation and although none of the markings on it have been effaced, it needs Immediate attention in order to be preserved. Having been exposed to the sun, the beat of heavy rains and the storms of so many years nearly all the paintings on the ancient stick have been blotted out. To replace all the marks which graced the pole when it was first placed on public view and attempt to check the progress of the worms and bugs which are eating away the stick, is the work facing the local men who have studied the methods pursued by the Indians in a case of this kind. The method pursued in painting the totem poles so that they may bear some meaning to any person who has studied the Indian customs, is an art which is known only to a few white men, and they are mostly old-timers. This massive pole held a prominent place in the Indian village at Masset and was selected by the Grand Trunk Pacific officials owing to its size, magnificent carvings and also for the history which is attached to It. It is one of the finest poles in this province and it is to occupy a most conspicuous position at the Chateau Laurier. It is understood that other poles are to be sent to the east. HUDSON'S BAY LINE The Line from That Waterway to Pacific Is Again Spoken of The Winnipeg Tribune says that within a fortnight surveys will start from Edmonton and Winnipeg on the branch lines in connection with the Hudson, Bay, Peace River and Pacific Railway, and that another survey will proceed to fort Churchill to start work from that end on the main line which will run right across the top of the continent, soutli Peace River district across the Rockies to Port Simpson and the Pacific coast. This ambitious project is financed by Scottish capital with which prominent Toronto and Winnipeg capitalists are associated, and there is good reason to believe in its bona fides. The proposed route will be the shortest practical between Hudson Bay and the Pa cific .reducing the rail haulage to 1,500 miles, or about half any other transcontinental line. 'Amendments to the original charter are now being sought at Ottawa to enable the building of various branches. The system as planned provides for the following mileage: Main line, Fort Churchill to Port Simpson, 1,500 miles. Branch, Fort Churchill, southeast to York Factory, 150 miles. Branch, Fort Churchill to Winnipeg, east of Lake Winnipeg, 650 miles. Branch from main line in southwesterly direction, east of Reindeer Lake to Prince Albert 500 miles. Branch from main line near Edmonton, 300 miles. Apparently the design is to build the Edmonton and Winnipeg branches first, before commencing the transcontinental line.

SMELTER SITE The board of trade showed itself keenly alive to the interests of the city in attempting to secure the proposed Granby smelter for the city. While the situation is one which does not seem to give an yassurance that the works will he located here, there is still reaiein lor keeping after the prize. Piince Rupert business men are not quitterj. They are accustomed to stay with schemes and in this matter we advise keeping up the good work. There are, of course, obstacles which it seems difficult to overcome and which act as good reasons for locating elsewhere than in Prince Rupert. However, some of these may be overcome with the mining development of the coming season. Smelters are undertakings that are located for particular reasons in certain places. A large supply of ore convenient to the works is nearly always regarded as a requisite which smelter men are very loath to depart from. The location of the works on Observatory Inlet, however, while not of as great direct benefit as if built here, will be a decided advantage to Prince Rupert. A smelter town means a large payroll and good business. The natural base of supply for the Goose Bay works would be Prince Rupert and practically all the trade should be with this city. All produce used there will naturally pass through local houses. It would be another of the important acces sories to the development of a great commercial centre here. COLONIZING THE NORTH The past few weeks have shown that the Provincial Government is decidedly in earnest in its avowed in tention of opening up New British Colum'bia to settlement as quickly as possible. Three officials of the department of agriculture are now in the district investigating the resources of the territory from the standpoint of agriculture. Active work is in hand looking to tlie build ing of Ihe trails necessary to allow settlers and prospectors to go in and possess the land. A large consign ment of horses and equipment to be used on the roads in the Bulkley have also arrived on the way to start work in that section. All this area to lie opened up is tributary to Prince Rupert and Mr. Manson, tlie local representative, should feel highly gratified that his representations have borne fruit to the extent shown by this activity. In Hon. Price Ellison, a practical far; mer, the department of agriculture has an executive head that knows the advantages of quick action with re- sped to encouraging settlement. The Skeena district under the McBride government, is about to derive advantages that many of the older districts will regard with envy. Under former regimes agricultural and the farming possibilities received little attention at. the hands of the central powers. This has now changed and instead of leaving the farming sections to be sought out and possessed by individual effort assistance is now given to the set tier, A ft-w years of a policy like this should make new Britisii Columbia the richest farming territory on the continent. DELIA BR I'S A dire calamity is impending. The editor of the News has made a threat. He is about to address himself to the question of civic assessments. Unde>r the circumstances, In view of past experiences, the prayor of citizens must be to be delivered from it. In the meantime his editor ship is busily employed putting up a straw man in the shape of taxation upon Improvements and practicing by way of knocking It down. He might continue this harmless amuse ment. A special despatch from Lisbon states that the government committee has decided In favor of the British tenders for rebuilding the Portuguese navy. All others, including American, have been returned. ************************** % News of the Province $ I * V************************* HUGE PAVING CONTRACT VICTORIA—The largest paving contract ever let by the City of Victoria and in all likelihood the largest which any single municipality on the continent was ever called upon to award, was awarded on Monday night by the city to the Canadian Mineral Rubber Company, with headquarters in Toronto. Of the ten companies tendering, the bid of the Canadian .Mineral Rubber Company for the eighty-nine streets for which tenders were called, was in the aggregate the lowest. Some of the other companies were lower on some streets, but as the other concerns bid only for sections of the work, the bid of the Canadian Mineral Rubber Company being the only one for the entire work, and as the iatter's bid was nearly $24,000 less than the sum total of the other bids, the council awarded the company the contract. The work Is approximately 568,000 square yards, nearly thirty miles in all. Of this about 169,000 square yards can be let forthwith and the balance, comprising streets which have not yet actually been passed by the council for paving, can be let as the works are approved, the company giving an understanding tnat it will undertake the work as fast aB the streets are passed by the council at the same rate and under the same guarantees. VANCOUVER DOCK VANCOUVER—Mr. N. Thompson has received a cablegram from London stating that the syndicate of British capitalists who had taken over the franchise of the old Vancouver Drydock Company were now ready to start operations without further delay. The capitalization of the company has been increased to $1,500,000. They have already let the contract for the construction of the big drydock at Newcastle-on- Tyne, and with! ntwo weeks a contract will be let locally for the work of preparing a place for its reception at Roche Point, on the north shore of the Inlet. The company has secured from the Imperial Car Company twelve acres of land at that place with an option on twelve acres more, which should ue sufficient for all purposes. They hope to have work started there by May 17 in order to be sure of retaining the Dominion Government subsidy. The drydock in the Old Coun try will be constructed in seven sections, which will be shipped out either in a ship specially chartered for the purpose or sent in sections on Blue Funnel liners. By combining two sections the dock will have a lifting power sufficient for any vessel that enters this port. Of course, a work of this magnitude takes time, but the first two sections should be shipped out and put in place in about a year. PLANS FOR RESERVE VICTORIA—It is expected that Dr. Todd, of Montreal, the well known landscape architect of Canada, will reach Victoria in a few days, to examine the lands comprising the reverted Sonughees reserve in this ctiy, and to report to the provincial government as to the best plan for their subdivision with a view to their future development to the best advantage of Victoria and of British Columbia. Meanwhile, everything possible is being done in the way of detail survey work, of which Mr. Robertson, P. L. S., has the charge, to facilitate an early utilization o fthese valuable properties. OSTRICH FARM .NELSON—Mr. Otto Becker, of Hamburg, Germany, has purchased a block of land near Wardner, where he will start an ostrich farm. He has been engaged in ostrich farming In South Africa and after a thorough investigation of East Kootenay has decided that conditions there are admirably adapted for ostrich raising. Ostrich ranches are successful in California, Arizona, Texas and Florida. The land near Wardner has been purchased from the C. P.

Sir Henry A. Blake, speaking at an entertainment in connection with the last rubber exhibition, said he looked forward to the time when rubber will compete with the quarry. He had the authority of a well- known manufacturer for saying that at half a dollar a pound rubber could be used economically for street pavements. Much has happened in the rubber world since then, and the price of half a dollar a pound, which thirty years ago did not seem a preposterous expectation, seems to have become more and more remote. Yet, according to authorities who are studying the situation, the contrary Is really the case. Last year's rubber boom, it Is pointed out, has meant the planting of many millions of rubber trees In many parts of the world. The supply of plantation rubber is likely to be Immensely Increased in the next few years, while the opening up of South America may lead to an additional output from that source. There are good judges who proph- es ythat by 1915 the price of crude rubber will have dropped to half a dollar a pound. Then will come the opportunity of those who for years have been experimenting with the rubber composition, which will supply the perfect pavement for London and other large cities. Rubber pavement is, of course, no new thing. Such places as the roadway under the Midland hotel at St. Pancras station and the cqurtway of the Savoy hotel have been paved in this way in order to prevent persons being disturbed by the heavy traffic. It has been laid down In sheets and Its endurance Is said to be wonderful. At the rubber exhibition In June there will be a comprehensive display. One firm has undertaken to pave the main entrance of the hall at cost of something like $5,000. With King George as patron and Sir H. A. Blake as president, the exhibition promises to be the most representative that ever has been held. More than twenty-four colonies and countries, comprising all the rubber-producing areas of the world, will be offilcally represented. o "When I was In Europe this summer," said Gayman, trying to entertain the minister, "I got quite interested in some of them old churches." "Indeed!" replied Rev. Mr. Gassa- way. "I suppose you know St. Paul's in London?" "No. You don't tell me? What hotel's he stopping at?" ************************** iRemember 1 That we * I Import i Our Wines direct from Europe; and that no house in Prince Rupert can equal them for quality.

Outlet for the Wheat of This Land Will Be by the Pacific Ocean Strung out along the trail to the last great west, where great grain fields of the Peace River valley are expected to give greater yields than the rich prairie lands ever saw, hundreds of wagons and vehicles of all sorts, some with spans of six oxen, some with an ox yoked with a cay- use, some with mules and oxen spanned together, are carrying western United States farmers in a g^eat rush. Mr. Frank M. Ke'ly, of Victoria, returning to Victoria from an extended trip via Edmonton into the Peace River and Slave Lake country, says of it: "All along the trail, I met the land-hungry people. From Edmonton to Great Slave Lake, these settlers are strung out wtih intervals of usually not more than a few hundred yards, hundreds of them there are with the strangest of outfits, many with signs painted on the canvas sides of their caboose, their family home: 'Peace River or Bust,' 'Grand Prairie or Nothing,' 'Me for the Last Great West'—these are but a few of numerous signs, each painted after the fancy of the landseeker. "Most of them come from the United States. They have sold out their all, placed part of the proceeds in purchase of an outfit for the big trek, and they litter the trail. What a trail it is. There is no read that could be called a road. Wagon and caboose are often rutted, often capsized and a crying woman, whimpering children and disheartened man, sit by the roadside for a brief moment and then get to work to right their overturned cart and salve the scattered goods. It takes them two months to make tne trip; that speaks of their eagerness to get into the Peace River valley. It is no Rmall task, this great moving. Most of them take all their household effects; had pianos. 1 never imagined anything just like this great rush of settlers, hundreds of them; you couldn't go a hundred yards hardly without seeing an outfit, with their strange wagons and carts, with the mottos painted on them: 'Traveling Through Arkansaw,' 'Me for the Golden Peace," all kinds of mottos Father usuallyp drives the oxen, and the air is often blue from his remarks to the plodding beasts; some times mother takes the rein, often a little child sits beside her—the greater portion of the trekkers are families. A Great Country "It will be a great grain area, this Peace River valley, and those settlers rushing in there are just repeating the history of the prairies. Peace River valley has immense possibilities. Many have said that it is too far north to grow good grain and they said the same thing of Edmonton and Calgary before the crops disproved them. At Fort Vermilion, which is 700 miles north of Edmon ton, when I was there I saw the grain milling machinery installed by the Hudson's Bay Company. For the last thirty years the Hudson's Bay Company has been growing grain and milling it; they have their own machinery to make their flour. They can tell you of the richness of that grain. For two months in the year there is no night; you can read until midnight, and after the twilight lights Into dawn. There is heat there all the time, no rain, no frost, and the grain ripens quck. There has never been a failure. "This grain will be largely shipped by way of the Pacific ocean when these settlers have opened up the country, and the elevators come into existence. The railroads are looking to this. I heard that the Canadian Northern railroad had given a contract for forty miles of road from Lake St. Anne, west of Edmonton, to some point on the Peace River, which will be the divisional point for the new transcontinental railroad to be built by the Canadian Northern Railroad. "At Peace River crossing there Is a big ranch, the owners of which have brought in modern agricultural implements, and they raised a crop of 100 bushels to the acre, not ten or twenty, or even forty, which has been considered a big crop, but one hundred bushels. In the northern plateau of the Peace River some settlers grow oats as well, and they said that if the influx of people was the same they would be independent if they had two more years like the last two. They get $1.50 a bushel for their oats. "I met Mr. McFarlane, a Dominion government land surveyor, who is delimiting the boundary between British Columbia and Alberta, and who has been all over that district. He is most enthusiastic; best country in the world, he says. He took a number of stock cattle in last year and is starting a big stock farm. It is cold in the winter. When I was at Slave Lake in January the thermometer ranged from 40 to 70 below zero, and often It was 30 below, and then I did not suffer from the cold. The cold weather and the little snow is what fertilizes that country and will make It a great grain land. Lund-Hungry "I gave a number of intending settlers I met with, copies of the British Columbia land laws, and had many talks with the trekkers, telling them of British Columbia, and many will probably go into the northern part of this province. In Alberta the laws permit of only 160 acres being homesteaded, and some of the newcomers have bought South African scrip so that they can take up another quarter section. They are all after land—after lots of land." DOUGLAS IS HAPPY Election Yesterday Resulted in Victory for Old War Horse in Municipal Affairs. New Member of Council Is WeU Known to All Residents of the City H. Douglas was the successful cam didate in yesterday's election. It had been said of Mr. Douglas, as of the baby seeking Pear's soap, "He Won't be happy till he gets it." Mr. Douglas it is therefore to be inferred is happy now and all his friends who have met him since the count are left in no doubt as to that fact. Mr. Douglas has been prominently identified with the life of Prince Rupert from the start. He has offered himself for office whenever the occasion presented itself. He has taken defeat with grace and in a philosophical way. He takes victory in the same way.

Hart's stand. o In Police Circles In the police court this morning, two, charged with creating disturbances, were brought up. One, named Howard, was fined $7. The other charge, against a man named Colley, was adjourned until Monday. o Good Progress J. W. Stewart, on his trip of inspection over the line of the Grand Trunk Pacific, found everything progressing well. His different sections of work are being advanced as well as could be expected. o Open to Traffic The work of putting the Grand Trunk Pacific line in shape is progressing well and In a few days it is expected a train service will be possible. The company has been receiving steady additions to Its rolling stock so that when the necessary repairs are made a very complete service will be provided. • o STEWART ON SUNDAYS The Grand Trunk Pacific steamers have made an alteration in the schedule to suit the convenience of the public. Instead of the mid-week steamer, the Prince Rupert going on to Stewart, it has been decided to have the Prince George make that trip. This will suit the residents of Prince Rupert much better, as it gives them an opportunity to pay a visit to Stewart on Sunday. Leaving here at 8 o'clock Sunday morning, the steamer returns to Prince Rupert about 6 on Monday morning. This schedule will undoubtedly be followed by a very large patronage during the summer. The new schedule Is now in effect, the Prince George leaving on Sunday morning for the Portland Canal port. SPORTS MARATHON RACES A. B. George, the well-known English runner and writer, In a letter says: Among the many sports festivals, which will be held during the.coronation week will be a big Marathon race for professionals at Douglas (Ise of Man), June 29. It Is pro posed to decide the race (26 miles 385 yards) on a grass track, four laps to the mile, and the arrangements will be in the hands of F. A. Lundley, the promoter of the Edin burgh Marathon. With a first prize of £100, and half that amount split among the next five men, the starters should include some of the best After the remarkable series of records created by Bouchard, of France, and Holmer, of Canada, in the last Marathon at Edinburgh, everyone will hope that the pair will again be seen in opposition. The Frenchman made too much use of his speed in the tirst half of his journey at Edinburgh, and if he were to "trail" his most dangerous rivals, he might do something wonderful for the full journey, though whether he is quite as good as I-Io'mer is another matter. France has another great stayer in II. Slret, and the manner he outdistanced his rivals in the professional Marathon race from Windsor to the Stadium in September, 1908, made a great impression on experts. The Isle of Man race to be decided on grass, and the runners will not feel the jar so greatly as they would if the event were run on a cinder track, Shrubb's beautiul low stride is ideal for long distances, out unfortunately his temperament will not permit of his maintaining one even pace, regardless of his rivals. He was always prone to running his races in snatches and does not relish being headed. He is also now In the veteran class, so can hardly be relied on to uphold England's prestige, even if he did compete. TENNIS TOURNAMENT . .Dates for various tennis tournaments of the 1911 season were made public by President F. N. V. An drews, of the North Pacific Interna tional Lawn Tennis Association, as follows: July 13, 14, 15—North Pacific Lawn Tennis Association, lrvington Club, Portland, Ore.

The county championships began with Notts winning from the M. C. C, by 66 uns md rurrey defeating Warwickshire by an inning and 46 runs. With regard to the prospects of the various counties, in several cases there will be a change in the captaincy. M. C. Bird becomes captain of Surrey on the ee'irement of Leve- son-Gower. J. W. H. T. Douglas succeeds McGahey as captain of Essex, I. R. Foster follows H. J. Goodwin for Warwickshire, and G. H. Simpson-Hayward takes the place of H. K. Foster for Worcestershire. Sir Arthur Hazlerigg has resigned the captaincy of Leicestershire, but no successor has yet been chosen, J. Shields, the wicket keeper, having at present been only appointed for three matches. So far it is doubtful who will be captain of Northamptonshire, as neither T. E. Manning nor E. M. Crosse can play regularly. o APPOINTED TO FRANCE Senator Roy Will Be Canadian Commissioner at Paris Senator Roy, of Edmonton, who visited here last sumer with Sir Wilfrid Laurier, has been appointed Canadian Commissioner at Paris in the place of the late Hon. Hector Fabre. He is in his forty-fourth year, and is a native of St. Francois in Que- bes. Senator Roy studied medicine at Laval and has had a practice in the west, but his interest in politics, his stake in a French paper which he published in the west, and his finan cial and commercial interests have absorbed a large measure of his at tention. He is in good financial circumstances, and is in touch with French capitalists. o ************************** t. * * Hobble Skirt Barred % * * K* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * ** The general opinion of the English press on the Lord Chamberlain's order that the hobble skirt be banned at all court functions is that it means the disappearance of that dress which reminds one of a sack race. In court circles it is whispered that Queen Mary positively abhors the hobble skirt, in fact, she discountenances all extremes of fashion, such as tight skirts, enormous hats and exaggerated coiffures. The disappearance of the hobble, of course, also means the end of the Pasha or Harem skirt. Fashionable dressmakers appar ently are glad that these skirts are banned. The manager of one dressmaking firm voiced the opinion of all when she said: "We have ceased to order tight skirts unless specially ordered. I sincerely hone we have heard the last of the detestable 'hobble.' It was forced on us. I think we shall all be glad to see the last of It. I saw no merit in it from beginning to end. Not one 'hobble' In ten fitted properly." Another leading dressmaker admitted that many gowns for the first court, on May 9, had been de-lgm:-.! as 'hobbles.' These have be"n entirely remodeled. The careful manner in which any approach to a royal command lias been avoided in the matter Is evidenced by the fact that no written message has been sent to dressmakers, but an official from Ihe Lord Chamberlain's office personally called and requested the managers to convey to their clients the information that it was undesirable that tight skirts should be worn at court. The Queen's position is approved by many women and all men, The hope is expressed that the Lord Chamberlain's office will next convey the hint to milliners that big hats must go, too.

Howson-Dockerell Groups of Properties to Be Taken Over by Sundicate A deal for the sale of a block of coal land twenty miles square, In the Telkwa and Bulkley valleys, owned by the Prince Rupert Coal Mines, Ltd., to a New York syndicate, is virtually closed, according to reports from Vancouver. It involves the payment of nearly one million dollars. The area was exhaustively tested with two diamond drills last summer. The boring, it is said, proved the continuity and depth of numerous seams, some of them being over twenty feet in thickness. The coal is a high grade bituminous, admirably adapted for steaming and domestic purposes. The report submitted by the engineer so favorably impressed the New Yorkers that they have, under the powers of their option, applied for crown grants of the coal lands preparatory to making the first large payment. The principal shareholders of the selling company are Mr. Henry How- son, a well-known mining man, of Victoria, and Mr. Frank Dockerell, of Vancouver. Mr. Howson will leave shortly for the district to direct development work on adjacent coal areas, in which he is interested. He will also direct operations on the big group of copper-gold claims vested in the Telkwa Mining, Milling & Development Company, which also controls eight coal claims in the same district. o IN HAZELTON DISTRICT TULAMEEN PLATINUM Origin of the Mineral in That District Referred to by Mining Authority. Tiie Precious Metal Has Not Been Canied Far, According to Views Held Another Property Is Making a Good Showing Near Interior Town Duke, Al and Edgar Harris and John Mullen, returned to town from the American Boy group on Nine Mile on Tuesday, surface water coming into their workings having forced a close down for the time being, says the Omineca Herald. Four men have worked on the property since about February 10 and in that time a shaft has been sunk 17 feet and another o7 feet with a drift off it 28 feet long. For the facts we are indebted to Duke Harris, who states that in the first- c'ass ore dumps obtained in sinking the two shafts and in driving the drift there is about forty tons, thirty at one shaft and ten at the other. The thirty-ton dump is shown by their assays to be worth $98 a ton in silver and lead at present commercial prices, and the smaller one $125 a ton, or roughly speaking, $4,000. Besides this there is cbout 60 tons of ?40 ore which cannot be considered as profitable at present. Although the deeper shaft was sunk where a horse cut the ore in two, so that little ore was recovered In sinking, still the high grade ore could be packed off the hill and shipped to Trail, allowing $40 a ton for the total charge and allowing themselves $4.50 for every day worked, at a total profit of $1,000 on the basis of settlement allowed by the smelter. Considering that half of the total work of the last three months yielded very little first-class ore, most of tlie ore taken out of the deeper shaft going into the second- class dump, the results are very satisfactory. There are four veins on the group so far known, which were stripped a distance of 1,800 feet last fall, with ore showing from one to five feet wide. In the bottom of the 17- foot shaft there is a showing of 22 inches of high grade ore and in the face of the drift there is 18 inches of practically the same class of rock. In about two weeks they will return to the property and trace the veins down the hill to locate a site for a tunnel to open up the property at depth. It is possible to obtain between 700 and 800 feet of depth by a tunnel driven on any of the veins. o The public school attendance in Vancouver readied the high water mark last month, when the number of pupils attending reached 10,240. The following are a few brief extracts from a lengthy and interesting paper contributed by Charles Camsell to the Journal of the Canadian Mining Institute on the history and origin of platinum in the Tulameen country. "The history of platinum mining in the Tulameen dates from the Granite Creek excitement of 1885, and as platinum is essentially a product of the placers, is intimately bound up with that of gold placer mining here. "In the early days on Granite Creek, when platinum was purchase- able at the rate of about 50 cents an ounce, it was regarded by the miners as a detriment rather than otherwise, and usually was not even saved in the clean-up. When a little later, however, the price had advanced to about $3 an ounce, the metal when recovered was saved and this has been the practice since. "Not all of the creeks tributary to the Tulameen River contained platinum in association with the gold. In general it may be said that the placers on creeks on the southern side of the Tulameen River from Granite Creek up to Champion Creek, including the Tulameen itself, carried platinum as well as gold; while on the northernd side of the river, only Bear and Eagle Creeks were productive, although not to a very large extent. "The best placers were undoubtedly those of the Tulameen River itself between the mouths of Slate and Champion Creeks. Here the coarsest nuggets were found, and the proportion of gold to platinum was about one to ohe. Slate Creek was next in importance, and then Cedar Creek, Granite Creek and its western tributaries, Bear and Eagle Creeks. Boulder Creek, flowing into Otter Lake north of the Tulameen River, though much worked for gold, contained no platinum. On the Tulameen River itself no platinum was found above the mouth of Champion creek, and below Slate Creek the grains became finer and the quantity gradually decreased. "Much of the gold and platinum found in the Tulameen River is coarse and has that rough uneven surface characteristic of nuggets which have not traveled far from their original source. Even in the beds of rapid streams the distance to which coarse gold travels is as a rule not considerable, and the same rule applies to platinum, which has a specific gravity not greatly different from that of gold. Much of the gold of the district is still found embedded in quartz, while the platinum is often associated with pyroxene, olivine or chromite. It is to be concluded, therefore, that the present placers are not very old; that they have been derived from the breaking down of rocks not very far distant, and are not the result of the working over of more ancient placer deposits formed by earlier streams." TO ENGAGE IN FISHERIES Sir George Doughty, who came to British Columbia last September with Charles M. Hays, president of the Grand Trunk Pacific to look Into the possibilities of the fishing industry on this coast, is preparing three steam trawlers for despatch to these waters at Grimsby, England, according to advices brought by some fishermen who have arrived to seek employment in the herring fishery. They state that it is the intention of Sir George Doughty to enter the coast whaling business, and he will place the three vessels In the whaling service, and will investigate the herring business. Sir George Doughty Is largely interested In the fisheries of the North Sea, and has many vessels with headquarters at Grimsby. The fishermen state that they were Informed at Yarmouth that it was the intention of some Yarmouth people to send some steam drifters to British Columbia to engage In the herring fisheries.

Dan McGillicuddy's Allegations Are to Be Looked into by Committee Hon. Prank Oliver, minister of the Interior, is certainly In trouble at the present time. He visited his home city of Edmonton only a few weeks ago to receive the coldest of receptions. A local paper referring to that reception said: "The reception which has been given Hon. Frank Oliver on his return to Edmonton for the parliamentary recess is probably wholly without precedent in the history of Canadian politics. "A man who occupies the post of minister of the interior would naturally be expected to possess prestige quite apart from his personality. The immense patronage under his control should, under ordinary circumstances, assure his hold on his seat so long as he continues in the possession of the portfolio. Then we must not lose sight of the fact that Mr. Oliver at the last two elections has been returned by majorities that were about the largest given in any part of the Dominion. Indeed, it was because of his having what was considered an absolutely safe seat, not because of any particular qualification of his own, that he was called to the cabinet in 1905. "Yet he comes back for a few days' visit, full of the subject which has been agitating parliament and anxious to tell his constituents what he thinks of it. He suggests to the Liberal executive that a meeting be called and it refuses to be identified with any gathering at which the minister is to appear. "Nothing could serve to demonstrate more forcibly how high feeling runs in the city against the forces that are headed by Mr. Oliver and Mr. Sifton. Party lines have been entirely broken. Such plain talking out in meeting from old-time politicians has seldom been heard as came from prominent Liberals at the banquet the other night that was held to discuss the possibilities of the opening up of the north country. "The development is one that should fill every loyal Edmoiitonian with pride. It indicates that our people are citizens first and politicians afterwards. Why should they not be? Why should they be prepared to sanction what is going on to interfere with the realization of the hopes that underlie the whole existence of the city for the sake of working in with the plans of men who are working a purely selfish political game. There has been too much disposition on the part of the mass of electors to be treated as so many pawns. Mr. Oliver and his associates have completely forfeited the confidence of the people of the city and district and it would be folly in the name of party regularity, from which none but a few can benefit, to show approval of men who are in no sense worthy of it. "The situation is one that will unquestionably strengthen Conservative prospects. There is no denying that, and everyone recognizes it. But tbe anti-Oliver and anti-Sifton movement has Its basis In a state of public opinion which has nothing to do with traditional or factious opposition." The return of the minister to Ottawa was followed by serious charges being launched against him by "Dan" McGIIlicuddy, in connection with a land grant. The charge is that a $50,000 amount on the credit side of a certain bank account is traceable to an order-in-council at Ottawa that permitted a railway company to exchange 660,000 acres of Manitoba swamp land for 660,000 acres of Saskatchewan prairie land. The company was entitled to the Manitoba swamp land under the Manitoba and Southeastern charter granted in 1891. In 1907 they dropped the Manitoba land and were given the area in Saskatchewan. Mr. Dan McGIIlicuddy, who figures In the charges, has had a somewhat interesting career. Until about ten years ago he was editor and publisher of a lively weekly Liberal journal in Goderich. The famous West Huron by-election, the first in which "switched ballots" were distinctly traced, brought Mr. McGIIlicuddy first to general public attention. The official ballots were printed at his office, and he was called to explain. It was shown that he had no part in the fraud. After the inquiry had been burked at a critical stage, the Goderich editor added a dredging contract to his journalistic activities. Still later he introduced at Ottawa a simple and convenient analytical index to Hansard and for several sessions was employed In its compilation. Then the lure of the west took him to Calgary where he published a lively evening paper. The most notable achievement of this journal was its contest with the "Eye-Opener," a publication which had large command of language of denunciation and attack. It says something for Editor Dan that he pushed this war to the point at which the editor of the "Eye-Opener" sued him for libel, which seemed to be a confession that the Goderich man was ahead In the matter of language. Hon. Mr. Oliver has denied the charges, and Sir Wilfrid accepts his denials, although being forced to permit of an investigation. The resolution which passed the house was presented by Sir Wilfrid Laurier. It restricts the inquiry to the point, namely, whether Mr. Oliver received two sums of $50,000 and $19,300 from the Canadian Northern Railway in return for the transfer of a land subsid from Manitoba to Saskatchewan. Mr. Borden pointed out these large sums of money might have come from other sources and involve misconduct on the part of the minister. He believed the whole transaction should be Investigated and that could only be done by a committee inquiring where the money came from and how it was distributed. "There Is onl yone question properly before the house and country today," said R. L. Borden, addressing the commons on the Oliver-Cross- McGillicuddy mix-up, and proposed an Investigation moved for by Premier Laurier. Mr. Borden pointed out that the basis of the original charge in the Toronto Telegram had been absolutely changed by the Toronto World's reference to the land deal only. Mr. Borden strenuously objected to the limitation of the inquiry as proposed by Premier Laurier. He thought there should be the fullest investigation as to whether the source from which the moneys came was a clean one. The premier's position, he considered, was an un worthy one. It was a pure farce and merely a piece of stage play, and not to elicit true facts. What the country would and did require was a clear and explicit proof that Frank Oliver had not been guilty of unworthy conduct. Therefore he would move an amendment that the proposed committee should have the fullest authority to investigate all matters in connection with the original statements against Oliver. Oliver made a lame defence of his limited motion. He objected to the scope of Borden's amendment. Houghton Lennox moved for the appointment of a royal commission in the following terms: "That a royal commission to issue for the purpose of inquiring and reporting whether two sums of $50,- 000 and $19,350, or thereabouts, alleged to have been deposited to the credit of Hon. Mr. Oliver, minister of the interior, in a bank at Edmonton on or about the 9th of October, 1907, and month of September, 1909, were received or obtained by said Mr. Oliver In such manner, under such circumstances, or from such sources as would render said minister's acceptance thereof prejudicial to public Interest." Mr. Lennox said they were not without experience of farcical Investigations, and he mentioned the Hodgklns and Lumsden Investigations as Instances. • The vote on Mr. Lennox's amendment was: Against 99, for 65, a government majority of 34.

Fitzgerald and his party, consisting of Constables S. J. Carter, G. F. Kinney and R. O'Hara Taylor were poisoned, probably by Indians, and that an official has been sent over the Peace River trail to make Investigations, was the story brought by-Mr. F. M. Kelly, who has just returned to Victoria from the Peace River District. Mr. Kelly said: "Two weeks ago near Athabasca landing I met what I took to be a Dominion secret service man, and from his subsequent conversation I felt sure he was, and he told me he was going to make investigations regarding the tragedy of the Royal Northwest Mounted Police party, whose bodies were recovered by Corporal Dempster and his patrol from Dawson to Fort Macpherson, near where the tragedy took place. He stated that he had absolute proof that the police party was poisoned, and from what he said I understood he considered Indians were responsible for the death of the party. This a good harbor and the ore was there in large quantities. The fuel represented about one-tenth the tonnage that the ore did so that it was cheaper to carry the coke to the ore than the ore to the coke. The company would probably carry out experiments with Vancouver Island slack coal, looking to the production of coke and see If a supply could not be obtained there. That would be the natural source of supply unless the Queen Charlotte Island coal fields become producers. By locating at Goose Bay, the smelter would be in a position to handle ore not only from the Hidden Creek and other mines In close proximity but would also be able to take care of shipments from Stewart, Alice Arm and all mining centres anywhere on Portland Canal and In the north. For economic reasons, therefore, he favors the location of the works on Goose Bay. HOSPITAL FINANCES (Continued from Page One) really two propositions to which the medical association would agree. The first was to allow the medical association to take the contracts in the city and have the cases requiring hospital treatment to be treated In the Institution, the association paying the regular fees charged. The other proposal which the association had to suggest was that of the hospital taking the contracts in conjunction with the association at the rate of $1,25 a month, an equal division to be made between the hospital and the association. It was explained that tha committee had gone very fully into the question with the medical men. The doctors in taking the latter proposition undertook also to take care of all the cases outside of the hospital which it was represented would amount to no inconsiderable number during the year. The doctors did not advise the hospital to take the latter course but expressed tbe opinion that the hospital would come out ahead by allowing the medical association to handle the proposition and pay the full rates to the institution for all cases treated there. Some little discussion followed the report, in which the opinion was expressed by the members of the special committee that in view of the urgent need of funds to carry on the affairs it would be wise to take con tract patients as suggested, the method of a division of the fees being regarded with more favor than the other system suggested. While there were members of the board that felt that in view of the fact that the institution was a very young one it would be better to allow things to go along as at present without touching contracts in any shape for the present, it was decided to refer the matter back to the committee with power to take the course considered best and if deemed wise to prepare a contract with the medical association. The question of a revision of the bylaws of the association, which was was referred to a special committee, was brought up and the time extended for the preparation of the hew regulations which will be reported to the next meeting. It was decided to make all the returns necessary eto the government in connection with the hospital at once. These were delayed owing to the auditors' report not being available. A number of accounts were -presented and referred to the finance committee.
