LIQUOR LICENSES HAVE BEEN GRANTED Commissioners Pass Upon Three Hotels and Four Wholesale Places at Regular Meeting—Other applications Have all Been Laid Over for Month's Time. Prince Rupert Licensing Board has passed upon its first licenses for the city, and ln due course liquor will be offered for sale In hotel bars. At its sitting yesterday morning the Board decided to grant hotel licenses to the G. T. P. Inn, the Premier Hotel, and the New Knox. All other applications were either withdrawn or laid over until the next sitting. Four wholesalers have been assigned licenses. They are Sutherland & Maynard, the Prince Rupert Wholesale Liquor Company, E. D. Clarke & H. H. Clarke, and the Northern B. C. Liquor company. At the sitting of the Licensing Board, which is composed of Mayor Stork, chairman, Aid. Smith and J. E. Merryfield, the question of the power to refuse any wholesale license that was applied for was raised by L. W. Patmore, who gave as his opinion that the Board could not refuse them. Without fully settling the point the Board proceeded to grant licenses to four, laying the others over. The question of a bottle license will be looked into, and the point be decided whether the granting of one would reduce the number of hotel licenses possibly before the next meeting which will be held on October 15. On that date the applications held over at this sitting may again be brought forward. The meeting of the Board opened on Wednesday with all the members present. Licenses Considered The secretary read the list of applicants showing that he had received twenty-two applications for hotel II ii «es, fifteen for who'esaU buslnes3 two for restaurant rri< '• leges and six for bottle rights. T-e clerk stilted that all iii>t been revived bj .'-.Im within thi proper time set by law except that of the North British Columbia company, which was in his hands a day too late. In view of the fact that application had been made before, he had received It. W. E. Flsher.'the solicitor for the applicants, asked the date on which the application was received. The secretary said September 1. Mr. Fisher pointed out that it wns a matter for the Board to decide whether this was too late and not for the secretary. Mr. Carss, representing Basson & Burt, asked to have the application abandoned. Commissioner Smith moved that the applications be taken up ln order and discussed. This course was agreed to and accordingly the applications for hotel licenses were considered. Hotel Applications The first on the list was the Premier Hotel. Mr. Carss appeared for the applicants and stated that the regulations respecting publication of notices, etc., had been compiled with. The chief of police's report was also read in which he stated that the premises were well worthy of license ln his opinion. Commissioner Smith proposed that the premises be all Inspected by the board, the building inspector, and the chief of police In a body. He suggested that they should go through the applications now and make sure that they were all in order. The board would require to have proof of all the applications on all essential points. All In On Time The clerk said all the applications had been received in due course within the time specified. Mr. Carss testified ln the case of the Premier Hotel to the publication of the notice. A notice had also been posted outside the hotel for some days before September 1 to his own knowledge. The chief of police testified that there had never been any convictions against the house for violation of the laws. In connection with George A. Sweet's application, Alex. ManBon appeared and stated that the applicant was applying on behalf of thr G. T. P. company. The advertisement had been properly made. Mr. Sweet had posted the notice in tlnee places in the building. In the application of 0. Besner, Mr. Patmore appeared for the applicant. Mr. Besner appeared in person also and testified that the notice had been published from August 3. He had posted notice on the building on August 5, and it had remained there ever since. He had 37 bed rooms ready for occupancy. The chief of police testified that there were no convictions against the premises. Dispute With Solicitor In the application of Corley & Burgess for a license for the Royal, a little dispute arose between Commissioner Merryfield and the solicitor, Mr. Manson. Mr. Manson, who appeared for the applicants, stated that the necessary advertisement had appeared and notice had been posted for about 29 or 32 days. Commissioner Merryfield wanted to know if there was any definite evidence as te the notice appearing on the outside of the building. Mr.' Manson did not think that the »ct required the posting for the last 'ourteen days before this sitting. Commissioner Merryfield thought tney sho'ii.l have .'eflnlt. ei ideara „.s to the nrtice being posted for t'.e last fourteen days. Comn::pfloner Smith also thouuit the act clearly meant the fourteen days Immediately before the sitting. Mr. Manson pointed out that the commissioners had ruled that the old notices should be good for this sitting. These notices had been preparing since May. Any fourteen days in that time should satisfy the law. Commissioner Merryfield was not satisfied however with the opinion as given. Mr. Manson contended that the statute could only mean what It said. Wanted More Evidence Commissioner Smith wanted to know if Mr. Manson could give evidence that the notice had been up for the past fourteen days. If he could not do this the board would take it under advisement. Mr. Kearns, In Mr. Manson's office, gave evidence that he had posted the notice and that it had been up before fourteen days ago. Commissioner Merryfield took exception to what he saw in the evidence of Mr. Manson and Mr. Kearns. He had understood that Mr. Manson had posted the notice. Mr. Manson said that he did not (Continued on Page Five) JUMPED OVERBOARD Emigrant Being Departed From Canada Drowned From Steamer (Special to The Journal) Farther Point, Sept. 18.—James Rae, an emigrant being deported on the Empress of Ireland as insane, eluded his guards yesterday, jumped overboard and was drowned. RESULT OF ELECTION Nationalists of South Africa Have Lead Among the Parties (Special to The Journal) Capetown, Sept. 16—Returns from the elctlons in United South Africa show the position of the parties are as follows: Nationalists, 33; Unionists, 26; Independents, 6; Labor, 1. General Botha, who contested the seat of Sir P. FitzPatrlck, leading Progressive, was defeated. Dr. Jamieson was returned unopposed for Albany and was also elected for Capetown Harbor Division. WHARF FOR CITY Subject Introduced at Meeting of City Council and Discussed. Mayor Stork Thinks in Settlement With G.T.P. Something Should Be Done SUICIDE OF WOMAN Mrs. James of Victoria Took Poison In Home of Employer (Special to The Journal) Victoria, Sept. 16.—Mrs. Elizabeth James, who drank poison at the home of her employer, died yesterday in the hospital. TIMBER ON SKEENA Sub-Contractor Restrained From Cutting onTWvately Owned Limits. Supremo Court Judge Grants an Injunction Affecting Hnrdscrnbblc Wooded Lands (Special to The Journal) Vancouver, Sept. 18.—Mr. Justice Clement, of the Supreme Court bench, has issued an injunction restraining A. Rankin, a sub-contractor on the G. T. P. line, from further trespassing upon timber limits near Hardscrabble on the railway right-of- way. The limits belong to S. S. Rogers and it Is alleged that without asking permission Contractor Rankin cut timber to made the road and to erect buildings. At Wednesday evening's meeting of the council the subject of a city wharf was introduced. It came up in connection with a statement of the mayor as to the disposal of garbage. His Worship said that Mr. Mehan, of the G. T. P., had complained of the dumping of garbage at the wharf. There has been a strong stench at times. He wished to have this remedied by finding some other dumping ground or some other way of disposing of the garbage. Aid. Barrow said this fouling of the waterfront was not confined to the G. T. P. wharf. It applied to all pants of the shore. Aid. Pattullo pointed out that the city was In deplorable position In having no waterfront and no place to dump garbage. This matter should be taken up at once. Aid. Hilditch thought there should be some provision for waterfront. He felt that the government should make provision for the city In this respect. Aid. Barrow wanted to know if there was not a proposition before the government from the city for a waterfront site for an electric plant. His Worship said this was still before the Government. He had long been alive to the needs of the city having a piece of waterfront. Aid. Lynch pointed out that It was a case not only of getting waterfront but getting such waterfront as could be got to. Offers Temporary Site Aid. Patmore said there was a piece of waterfront near the boat- house of Davis over which he had control. That was not in use this year The city could use it free if It wanted it. His Worship said that In these times of discussion over-assessments when the waterfront was held to be of little value, it might be made a part of the settlement that some waterfront should be given the city. The matter was then allowed to drop, It being understood that the Health Committee will take up the garbage question. A GOOD EXAMPLE Carpenters' Efforts Are Appreciated by Messrs. Black and Bondeaux On Wednesday evening, through the generosity of Peter Black and Mr. Bondeaux, a most enjoyable smoker was given in the Carpenters' Hall to the members of the Carpenters' union and a few of their invited friends. The entertainment was provided by the gentlemen named as a mark of appreciation for the expeditious and satisfactory way in which the work had been carried on on their buildings. The proceedings were made merry with a splendid programme of songs and a few short speeches. Those who gave speeches were Mr. Black and Mr. Bondeaux, J. F. Macdonald, Aid. Hilditch, Dr. Clayton, and S. D. Macdonald, president of the Typographical Union. The evening was thoroughly enjoyed by all and the two responsible for the function were given the hearty thanks of all present. o CONFERENCE FIXED City Council Will Meet Committee of Board of Trade Tomorrow. Amicable Settlement With G. T. P., Which May Mean Immediate Work, May Follow PLEASED WITH DISTHICT I. It. Anderson Thinks Ritmangnr a Good Agricultural District '''• J. R. Anderson, formerly deputy minister of agriculture in the provincial service, left for the south last night after paying a visit to Kltman- gar in connection with the model farm scheme with which he Is connected. He found conditions in the valley excellent There was an absence of all frost up to the time he left and the conditions were on the wholo such as to leave him well satisfied with the outlook. The soil on the bench lands will be easily worked and should produce fine fruit without irrigation. Mrs. J. E. Merryfield and her young son are visiting in Vancouver. It has been arranged that the committee of the Board of Trade meet the city council at 3 o'clock tomorrow ln the council chamber to discuss the question of the G. T. P. assessment, looking Co a settlement of the difficulty that has arisen. The proposition of the Board of Trade that Is to form a basis for discussion with the council has already been made public. The proposed reduction ln the assessments are hose passed upon at the meeting of the board on Monday night. In addition to this the committee will suggest a settlement with the G. T. P. ln return for this assessment being fixed for five years, that the city be provided with a reservoir site, parks, city hall site, and a cemetery site. In addition to this the company, It is proposed, should be requested to begin within a reasonable time the construction of the round houses, the floating dock and other terminal facilities. There Is every indication that on this basis a satisfactory settlement can. be reached as far as the council is concerned and that following It amicable negotiations will follow between the G. T. P. and the city. WILL ORDER PLANT FOR STREET LIGHTING City Council Approves of Plan Suggested by the Light and Telephone Committee and Will Take Steps to Instal at Seal Cove— Streets Lighted Soon. The light and telephone committee made a report last night to the council upon a plant which they thought would best serve the purposes of the city for the present. The report provides, as it was explained, for a small plant immediately with which the city streets could be lighted. This would give time to more fully consider the best equipment for the lighting of the houses. It would make use of the boilers purchased from the B. C. Tie & Timber company and suggests entering into an arrangement by which the site now occupied by the boilers at Seal Cove could be used. The council will at once proceed with the scheme. The report was as follows: — To the Mayor and Council: Gentlemen:—Your committee on light and telephones recommend:— (1) That the stock In the Prince Rupert Telephone company, as held by various stockholders shown on the attached list, representing in all a total of $9,075, be redeemed by he city. (2) That the promissory note ln favor of A. A. Mclntyre for $4,056.98 held by the Canadian Bank of Commerce, and falling due September 16 be paid. (3) That a 100 kilowatt machine, non-condensing engine and Bwltch board be purchased at the price of $3,500 as shown on list of electrical apparatus available as per list shown the committee by the city engineer. ( 4 ) That the city engineer take the necessary steps to have the boilers recently purchased from the representative of the B. C. Tie & Timber company, tested and fitted up. (5) That the necessary wires, etc., to be used in connection with the proposed electric light plant, be purchased. (6) That negotiations be opened up with the G. T. P. Development company with a view to securing a lease of the site formerly occupied by the B. C. Tie & Timber company's mill for our electric lighting plant. Aid. Hildltch wanted to know what the object was in buying a 100 k.w. machine. His Worship said that the idea was to instal this and then order another to follow It. Aid. Smith, chairman of the committee, said that this was the only machine now available easily. It would take six weeks to get the other one. Aid. aPttullo explained that the plant would light the city streets. The question of providing for lighting the houses could then be taken up and decided upon and added to the equipment there. It was decided that the part of the report respecting the telephone be referred to the finance committee. The light and telephone committee was also authorized to take up the question of the site. CONING TO COAST EXPECTS AC0UHTAL Commission on Technical Education Will Visit British Co- Columbia. WHITE FISHERMEN The Members Are to Reach Pacific Province About December According to Plans Dr. Crippen and His Attorney are Confident of Winning Case. Men Drawn From Industry in Newfoundland Would Come to This Coast Good Effects Are Showing From Crusade of Earl Grey and Sir George Doughty (Special to The Journal) Victoria, Sept. 18.—Earl Grey's proposals relative to the establishment of colonies of white fishermen on the Pacific Coast of Canada, in connection with which Sir George Doughty recently paid a visit to this coast, have received what might he looked upon us definite encouragement from a communication of an interesting character, which has just been received by the Vancouver Island Development League. Mr. Louis .lr.Chollet, who for many years past has been engaged In the fishery Industry off the banks of Newfoundland, writes asking what are the prospects for white fishermen on this coast. His headquarters are at Flat Islands, and the fishing in that area during the past season has been of a most disappointing character, according to statements which he makes. Fishermen there, he says, have in many instances had to he satisfied with yearly earnings of $100. Hundreds of them have not tasted meat for months, having to subsist on the cheapest kinds of foodstuffs. He Indicates that were the. opportunities sufficiently attractive, numbers might be induced to come to British Columbia, as under the conditions by which they are now confronted they are unable to earn a living wage. (Special to The Journal) Toronto, Sept. 16.—The federal commission on technical education has finished its inquiries in the Maritime Provinces, where thirty-three cities and towns were visited in as many days. This was accomplished by dividing into two sections, holding evening sittings and travelling in the night, the chairman, Prof. Robertson, being a great man to drive work. This week the commissioners, except Professor Robertson, are In Ontario. The chairman is In Newfoundland discussing with Lord Northi'liffe some educational projects for that colony. September and October will be given to Ontario and Quebec, and the commission should reach .Manitoba early In November, making its way thence to the Canadian Pac.,<! coast. From this province the commissioners go to California, where a visit will be paid to Leland Stanford University. The European tour will occupy a part of the winter, leaving the Eastern Slates to lie visited and further Inquiry to be made In the larger Canadian Industrial centres, towards the close of the Investigation. The secretary reports In an Interview that tbe commission has found everywhere an awakening of local Interest In Industrial and technical instruction. o HUNTING ACCIDENT Miss Leneve is Breaking Down ruder the Strain—Hearing is Resumed Today Voting Man Shoots His Companion While in Woods Near Victoria (Special to The Journal) Victoria, Sept. 16—Chester Young, aged 18, of Heatings, near here, was almost Instantly killed by a companion while hunting near Malahal mountain. The shooting was purely accidental. o Mrs. T. D. Pattullo and her daughter have gone south on a visit. (Special to The Journal) London, Sept. 11.—The hearing in the Crippen case resumed today. Attorney Newton, defending Crippen, declares the case for the Crown has collapsed. He says the prosecution failed to establish a single fact in connection with the murder and that there is nothing but failure for thep rosecutlon and freedom and vindication for Dr. Crippen and .Miss Leneve. Crippen, too, Is confident of acquittal. Miss Leneve Is breaking down under the strain of the ordeal. o The sum of $100 has been collected from local Citizens as a fund for the local corps of the Boy Scouts. The work of organizing will now be carried out as the sum named was all that It was fell would be required to ensure its success. TOOK MANY WHALES Company Operating on West Coast of Vancouver Island Has Big Year. Announced That 750 Mammals Were Taken by the Company During This Season Victoria, Sept. 16—It Ib announced thai 75 0 whales were taken by the Pacific company's fleet operating from Sechart and Kyoquot this season. In the past the company has been very reticent about the number of whales taken. The prospect of a sale of the undertaking to the Mackenzie & Mann Interests, however, has done away with this reticence. The profits aro acknowledged to be very great. THE PRINCE RUPERT JOURNAL Friday, September 16, iSlO*. IN THE ARGENTINE Remarkable Progress Made by Republic in the Last Few Years. * London Times Gives Some Interesting Figures Relative to the Development of State The progress of the Argentine Republic is shown in the figures taken from a recent census report. The London Times says: — Among the most difficult duties of those of all the officials of Argentina must be that of Mr. Alberto B. Martinez, the director of census, for so rapid has been the growth of the republic in recent years that more than in other countries, his figures have become out of date before the full collection of details is possible. However, a glance at the immediate past is a sufficient guide as to the progress in the present, and all who are interested in the country will find much of importance in Mr. Martinez's pamphlet of "Statistical and geographical information about the Republic and its resources as a country adapted in every way for European immigration." This work, published in 1910, contains the latest reliable facts on almost every branch of the country's trade. The Republic has an area which is more than ten times that of Great Britain, with a population a little short of six millions, so that, considering its vast natural resources, it is a magnificent field for emigration. F'acts show that this is fully appreciated by the Latin races, and it is worthy of comment that Italy and Spain head the list in regard to the receipts and despatch of mails, the United States being third, and Great Britain fourth. The position is very largely altered when a reference is made to the trade statistics, where it is shown that the United Kingdom dominates both the export and import trade. In 2908 the total of imports was $722,- 972,736 in gold and of exports, $366,005,341 in gold. Of this Great Britain absorbed a percentage per mile of 342, Germany having only 139 per mile, and the United States 130 per mile of the imports, and Great Britain 214 per mile, Belgium 98, Germany 95, France 79, arid the United States 36 of the exports. Apart from foodstuffs and textiles, which rank somewhat high in the list of imports, the majority of these were of a character required for advancement of the country. Textiles headed the 'ist, but the following figures are more noteworthy:— Gold. Iron and other metals and metalwork $3S,S25,?59 Articles Tor agricultural. 15,839,838 Articles for locomotion . . 30,700,337 Articles for building. . . . 21,182,426 Articles for electricity.. 3,329,290 Articles for miscellaneous industries 7,896,406 Stone, clay, glass and chlnaware 24,S99,197 Important as this evidence is as to the progress which is being made in the development of the country, the value of the country to immigrants is traceable chiefly In that relationship of increase of exports over imports which first occurred In 1891 and has been on a growting scale since. The warm welcome accorded to all immigrants and the care bestowed upon them is but an add! tional proof of the forward policj which pr-rnioates the government. The excellent map which accompanies Mr. Martinez's pamphlet will surprise ninny by the number of large railways which it shows. On January l of this year there were in operation 25,608 kilometres per 10,- 000 of population, as compared with 37..in per 10,000 in the United States of America, and is thus the highest rate in the world. The comparison would be of little value, however, were It not for the whole policy in regard to railway construction for the enormous differences in population both as regards class and numbers stand in the way of any genuine comparison. As financial propositions, however, the railways are of extreme Interest. Much of the land traversed Is as yet undeveloped, and for some years only feeder lines would be essential to cope with the extra produce following on a natural flow of immigration. The railways are highly productive, nevertheless, and the increase In ten years ended 1908 was remarkable. In 1898 there were 15,- 451 miles in operation, carrying 16,- 478,085 passengers, and 9,429,141 tons of freight. The capital Invested was $523,517,095 In gold, and the net profits $14,138,388 in gold. In 1908 the mileage had Increased to 24,144, the number of passengers to 47,150,384, the freight to 32,211,- 007 tons, the capital to $847,587,343 gold, and the net profits to $39,361,- 200 gold. Since further progress must depend largely on an Increase of population, the figures given in regard to wages are of more than passing interest. The paper dollar Is worth about Is 8d, and wages rarely exceed $5 a day,, being often much less. It is more to agriculture than to manufactures that Argentina must look for Increased trade, and here there is room for almost unlimited expansion. On this head Mr. Martinez says:— "Admitting that this country has the same average potentially for producing food and other resources for sustaining human life, and that Its soil possesses a similar wealth of ma- poses to that of Germany—a very terial adapted for Industrial pur- flattering supposition—it follows that In the Republic there is room for a population of 250,000,000 more or at any rate, 100,000,000 of souls, besides those already in the country could live here more easily than anywhere else in the world." In confirmation of this statement figures are given of the actual Increase of agricultural production both in volume and in proportion to area The total of farm produce in 1908 was $798,540,000, of which wheat absorbed about half with $354,000,000, maize $1,86,000,000, grapes $72,000,000, flax $94,000,- 000, oats $35,000,000. Mr. Martinez has worked out an approximate statement of the cost of cultivating one hundred hectares of wheat, and he estimates the first year's profit at about $2,800 n-c, without any allowance for the raising of stock of any kind. Such figures, however, are so liable to fluctuation throughout natural causes that they must only be taken as indicative of the possibilities, and no allowance has been made for the cost of land, which varies widely. The inclusion of such an estimate is, howeier, more than justified in view of the record of progress which has been made in the past decade. his love of the sport. It Is worthy of note In considering the future of Uhlan that Mr. Billings does not campaign his valuable string for profit. Therefore, If the great gelding possesses any greater possibilities for time annihilation they will receive every consideration unhampered by contemplation of what the earning capacity of the horse might be for exhibition purposes. WANTS ANOTHER FIGHT SPORTS CHAMPIONS MET The eyes of many tennis enthusiasts in Victoria were opened when they watched B. P. Schwengers, holder of the Pacific Northwest title, overcome Capt. Foulkes, Canada's champion, in three straight sets of what was to have been a five set match recently on the Victoria club's courts, Cadboro Bay road. The score was 6-2, 6-3, 6-1. Ever since Mr. Schwengers has been a prominent factor iii the sport of the Northwest there have been "Doubting Thomases" who have asserted that the sole explanation of his success was the fact that he never had anyone of account to oppose him. When J. Tyler, of Spokane, was mentioned, it was pointed out that they were about on a par because the American once defeated the Victorian. With Capt. Foulkes, however, it is different. He comes straight from Eastern Canada, after having beaten the best of those parts. Therefore yesterday's exhibition was a contest between the peer of the East against the star of the West. The result was a signal triumph for the latter, who without exaggeration, gave the finest display of tennis that has been witnessed at the hands of any man In Victoria for years. TWO MINUTE TROTTER Batt'ing Nelson, in a letter written from Yellowstone park, where he is rusticating, says he wants to fight Ad. Wolgast again for the lightweight championship. He is willing to bet $10,000 even money that he can beat Wolgast, and is willing to let the winner take the entire purse. Nelson writes that he is feeling full of vitality as the result of his rest and adds: "I will be the biggest surprise in the ring. I will be the one man to come back If given the chance." There is one thing that can be said about Nelson—If he is licked he will go down like a fighting man, and that's more than can be said about some other distinguished scrappers who failed to come back. Bat's courage is still all there, even if he has lost some other things that a fighter needs. Wolgast might be able to trim the Battler again, but if the boys meet a lot of shrewd judges will bet on Bat, for some way or other the suspicion is gaining ground that little Wolgast is not of real championship stuff.- THE CRAWL STROKE The views of Norman Cox, one of the best swimming coaches of the school that has developed such men as Kieran, Wickham, Lane, the Healys and the Cavills, who is now on a visit to the States, are of much interst. "Here in America," said Mr. Cox, "you have created a nomenclature for the different varieties of crawl, irerspective of what was being done abroad, and while 1 cannot but commend the idea of discriminiating between types—as It pleases you to a'l the sereval phases of evolution—I fear it is going to entail great confusion until the chaff has been separated from the grain. You speak, for instance, of the Australian, American, Sullivan, Daniels, legless, and other types of crawl, as distinct varieties. Were you to attend tomorrow a meet in Sydney or Melbourne you would see everyone of the styles used, though we class them all under the one heading of crawl. You would see lads who never heard of Sullivan or his stroke doing the hundred in one minute flat with it, straightaway; you would see men who haven't an Idea how Daniels swims, use the Identlca' methods he does; you might see styles never attempted In the States, and all considered within the boundary of the crawl." "But don't you think that It is an absolute necessity for the sake of the public that the development of swimming to distinguish between varieties that are as different from each other as are the trudgeon and the crawl?" "No," he said emphatically. "Not yet. That should only come after the lines have ben drawn absolutely and the several types no longer merge Into each other." "Still, your Australian stroke, the origina', is certainly distinct enough from the American." "That's where you are wrong," he said. "Cavlll has modified his stroke to such an extent that would assure me he now swam the American crawl. They had all lengthened their arm reach, as you will realize when I tell you that Healy won the middle distance championship of 1909 with the crawl. And let me set you straight on another point, too. In which Americans are totally wrong. There is no such thing among Australian swimmers as timing the right leg with the right arm and vice versa. That's an idea set forth by dry ground swimmers. That criss-cross timing is absurd. Each swimmer follows his natural trend and suits the rhythm to his own peculiarities, inserting flutters and changes to suit himself. The arms are now held nearly straight, and the legs, if they act in unison with the arms at all (which they don't, for their work is concluded in an instant), favor the arms of the same side. When the leg drives it beats very quickly, with a flip kind of motion and immediately returns to its normal position, and it beats just as the hand of the same circle, putting the finishing touch to the arm drive. The normal position of the 'eg is slightly bent, foot extended to the utmost, and the height of the foot in the water just such that the heel Is about two Inches above the surface, the tendon Achilles acting as cut water, like the fin of a shark." "Who do you consider the best exponent of the Ideal crawl?" "Cecil Healy, unquestionably. He is the most nearly perfect swimmer I have ever seen. His stroke never va ries one iota. He never loses his form. I have watched him cover 100 yards straightaway in 5 seconds, and his movements were as cored in this whirlwind wash as when he swims a longer stretch easily. The 100-yard time, incidentally, is official. It could not be accepted as a record because Healey once wore trunks." "In conclusion you believe Americans are not to be credited with the new strokes?" "On the contrary I believe they are deserving of the utmost praise for the marvellous way in which they have progressed, Just as they do In everything. Only I wanted to make clear that Australia has not stuck In the rut of a ten-year-old crawl, as most people ower here seem to believe." "Then your objections are to our calling 'Australian' an antiquated form of crawl?" "Exactly." "Even though It is the original stroke?" "Of course, for it no longer represents the stroke used by Australians." The Washington Cafe A PLACE TO EAT Seats For Ladles Everything Clean and Tasty Prices Reasonable W. F.

Critics who were present at .North Randall say the handsome black geldfhg has not yet reached the limit of his speed and predict a lowering in actual time of the record of the trotting queen, and that without a windbreak. Uhlan's feat of reeling off a mile to wagon in 2.01, also without windshield, gives to Mr. Bilings' trotter the two most coveted honors of the trotting turf. That the New York sportsman drove Uhlan in the first of his record-breaking performanes is an honor merited by his devotion to the sport, which has prompted him to spend the necessary money to secure performers which possessed the ability of Lou Dillon and Uhlan.

PRINCE RUPERT JOURNAL RAISING OF SEALS Proposition is Made to Rear Young in Fresh Water for Commercial Purposes. S. Fish Commissioner Bowers Believes This is Practical Course to Follow United States Pish Commissioner Bowers was unable to induce any of the English fur seal experts to establish a plant In the United States for curing, plucking and dyeing the skins on his mission, but he returned from Europe more enthusiastic than ever over the future of the fur seal Industry. The government having abolished the fur seal monopoly on the Priblof Island's has that Industry now ln its own hands. Mr. Bowers, though Intent on building It up as a revenue lieves from what he has observed and producer for the government, be- learned that his ideas of getting private persons in various parts of the country to engage in seal farming is perfectly practicable. "Our two seal pups from Behring sea now in the fisheries building here," said he In Washington, "have proved that infant seals can be raised and kept healthy in a habitat far distant from their native rookeries. Any animal that can thrive in the Potomac river can thrive, I believe, even in Kentucky whiskey But we have no Intention of trying, the latter experiment. "The twenty pups we have ordered from the Phibiloffs will arrive in Seattle about the middle of September on a revenue cutter. I have ordered one of our fisheries cars to Seattle to meet them. The pups will be brought east and distributed among the aquaria in the large cities and elsewhere to demonstrate that fur seal can thrive in fresh water. I have no doubt that acquarla in New York, Boston and other places will be glad to get a pair each. "I think it is safe to say that seal wil lthrlve In any body of fresh water that does not freeze completely over in winter. The only difficulty will be in confining them, but the expense of building a seal-tight fence would be amply repaid by the profits. A farmed receives perhaps $5 for a lamb, while the value of the fur seal pelt is about $40 in the raw state, and it should not cost much more to raise a seal than a sheep after the industry Is started." Commissioner Bowers has not completed details of the manner In which the 10,000 or 12,000 skins taken by the government in the Pribiloffs this season will be sold. This will be announced after he consults with Secretary Nagle at Seattle on the secretary's arrival there about next Monday. The skins may be sold In San Francisco, but more probably they will be sent to the larger market in London, where they have to go eventually for treatment. The commissioner regards the attacks made by W. T. Hornaday of New York, and the Camp Fire Club of America, on the department killing so many seal this year as absurd. He points out that no females are being killed and that the killing of surplus males is but following the practice of stock breeders, who retain hut the selected males in their herds. "If," said he, "the surplus males are not killed by the government they will kill one another or he captured by the pelagic sealers. If conserva tion is the object of Hornaday and his friends, they should seek to put the pelagic sealers out of business. It the surplus bulls are not killed when young their pelts become valueless except for crude purposes." prison population. . The remissions granted on this occasion affected 11,000 prisoners, and at a stroke struck 500 years from imprisonment and penal servitude among the pris on population. (Hear, hear.) I am glad to be able to tell the house that no evil results of any kind have followed from this. It is not at all true to say that a number of the men released have already returned to gaol. I am grateful to the House for listening to me. We must not allow optimism, hope or benevolence in these matters to carry us too far. (Hear, hear.) We must not forget that when every material Improvement has been effected in prisons, when the temperature has been rightly adjusted, when the proper food to maintain health and strength has been given, when the doctors, chaplains and prison visitors have come and gone, we must never forget that the convict stands deprived of everything a free man calls life. (Hear, hear.) We must not forget all these Improvements, which are sometimes salves to our consciences, do not change that position. The mood and temper of the public in regard to the treatment of crime and criminals is one of the most unfailing tests of the civilization of any country. A calm, dispassionate recognition of the rights of the accused against the stave; a consta it heart-searching oy all charged with the duty of punishment, a desire and eagerness to rehabilitate in the world of Industry all those who have paid their dues in the hard coinage of punishment, tireless efforts towards the discovery of curative and regenerative processes, unfaltering faith that there is a treasure if you can only find it in the heart of every man—these are the symbols which in the treatment of crime and criminals mark and measure the stored up strength of a nation and are the sign and proof of the living virtue In it." (Cheers.) Small holders in Egypt receive advances from the Agricultural Bank at nine per cent interest, which the government collects on the bank's behalf through its tax-gatherers.

LAND PURCHASE NOTICES PRISON REFORM IN BRITAIN Mr Winston Churchill Discusses New Act in British Parliament Following is the concluding portion of the speech of Mr. Winston Churchill on his prison reform act: "I am very much obliged to the house for listening to me giving details in relation to a mournful, melancholy subject. When his majesty came to the throne one of the first wishes he was pleased to express was that at a time when all hearts were stined and when every one felt anxious to lay aside old controversies the prison population should not stand outside the movement in the national mind. The precedents of releasing prisoners from gaol are adverse to any action. On all previous occasions the proposal has always been to release a certain number of prisoners. I think we have found a much better way, that Is, not to release Individuals, but to make a general pro rata reduction of sentences over the whole area of Skeena Land District—District of Ca*ssiar.

ELECTRIC LIGHTING After vexatious delays, many of them due to circumstances over which the council could have no control, It looks now as If a street lighting plant would be installed at a very early date. The equipment proposed ln the report of the electric light committee which reported last night to the council is all within easy reach on the coast and it is anticipated it can be put in without loss of time. With the ideal weather conditions now prevailing the council should hurry the work forward as quickly as> possible as it can now be done cheaper and quicker than under other conditions. , o OPEN FOR TRADE The opening of the G. T. P. line out of Prince Rupert for general trade on Wednesday was an Important stage in the city's development. Within a few weeks time there will be well on for 100 miles of track laid out of the city. This in itself is considerable mileage. Victoria, the capital of the province has had less than that length of line running out of the city. The E. & N. is only about 87 miles in length to Wellington, and that has been the sole mileage that has been operated out of the city. With the rate of development that is sure to follow construction along the G. T. P., that distance of rail in operation should have considerable effect upon the commercial situation here. THIRD AVENUE GRADE Property Owners Will be Asked to Decide Whether Change is to Be Hade. Various Other Matters Affecting Streets Brought Up Before Council GOOD SETTLERS Earl Grey's good work on behalf of this country is bearing fruit. His advocacy of British fishermen coming out to the Pacific coast to engage in the industry here has induced not only investigations on behalf of those from the British Isles, but has led to the Newfoundland fishermen turning their attention to the Pacific as well. Certainly Prince Rupert could ask no better class of seafaring men than the hardy fisher folk of the Atlantic coast, whether of Newfoundland or the provinces of the Dominion of Canada. They are accustomed to conditions as they exist on this side of the Atlantic which is a very considerable advantage. If Earl Grey's scheme carries out there would be a strong admixture of the fishing people of the British Isles joined with these, making an ideal class of settlers. The Oriental question in this way can be effectively settled insofar as that industry is concerned. It was noteworthy that Sir George Doughty, who came west al the instance of Earl Grey, sounded a note against the passing of the fishing industry into the hands of the Orientals. The "pumping in" as Kipling described it, of the people of our own race is the one way of counteracting the Chinese and Japanese Invasion. It looks very much as though Northern Britisli Columbia with Prince Ruperl us it headquarters, Is to in- relieved of many of the disadvantages which the southern part of the province suffers from in the matter of Orientals. A distinct forward movement hns been taken al Kidderminster in the establishment of a beet sugar fac- tory. The experimental stage bus been passed, nnd it is now clellniiely stated thai a factory capable of dealing with 30,000 tons of licet in the season will at once be erected. The capital to lie raised is no,000, of which £40,000 will be needed for the machinery, which will include a drying installation; the building will cost £15,000, and the remainder of the capital will be needd to work the concern. The founders' company has been fully established, and many agriculturists In Worcestershire have entered into contracts to grow the beet. Kidderminster will thus take the lead in England in establishing a fully equipped beet sugar factory. It is officially declared that the English climate will produce more beet per acre than In any part of Germany, and the yield of sugar is also much greater from the roots. At Wednesday evening's council meeting the question of the Third avenue grade came up for some discussion, and was finally referred back to tho property owners to decide on whether they wanted a change. The streets committee recommended, In view of the city engineer's report relative to changing the grade on Third avenue that there should be no change as the alterations would be very slight. It further recommended the proposed change of grade on Fraser street and Fifth avenue provided the property owners waved all claim to compensation. Aid. Lynch explained that as two and one-half feet was about all the change that would be made on Third avenue, it was deemed unwise to Interfere with it. Aid. Pattullo wanted to know If It would make a change of one per cent. If it did he would approve of having the property owners pass upon it. Aid. Lynch said he did not feel like doing anything unless all the property owners were agreeable to waive all claim. Change of Grade Aid. Pattullo on the profile being produced, pointed out that there was a change from 7.5 per cent on Third avenue between Second and Third streets to a six per cent grade. This was quite a radical difference. If he were a property owner there he would be strongly in favor of the change even if it delayed matters a little. Aid. Lynch saw little objection to raising a grade in front of places, but there might be an objection to lowering by property owners. City Engineer's Opinion Aid. Mclntyre felt that the city engineer's opinion should be followed quite freely. The city engineer being asked to give his opinion, said that there was too great a quantity to be taken out to be taken care of by the fills that were to be made. A raising of the grade on Third avenue near Eighth street would assist a good deal. Aid. Hilditch agreed with Aid. Pattullo, Aid. Lynch and Aid. Mclntyre, that this should be referred back to the property owners to decide. The matter referring to Third avenue was referred back to the petitioners, while the latter part of the report was adopted. Sixth Avenue Grade The report of the streets commit tee was received, recommending the grading of Sixth avenue from Fulton street to Summit avenue, and the planking of Eighth avenue from McBride to Hays Cove avenue. Aid. Pattullo wanted to know the approximate cost of these works. Aid. Lynch said the first was estimated to cost $21,110, while the second work would cost $6,721. Aid. Pattullo thought this seemed a large expenditure in the case of Sixth avenue. He felt that the matter should be referred back to them. Under the local Improvement system this was a heavy expense on these property owners. Aid. Hilditch said there were only fifty owners. This would cost about $500 each, or with Interest from $700 to $800 each. Aid. Lynch believed perhaps the petitioners might not be so anxious to go on with the work If they realized what it would cost. Borrowing Power Aid. Mobley pointed out that there were other parts of the city that required the work worse, lie did not believe In depriving these people of the works if they were prepared to pay for it. It must be taken into account that the borrowing power of the city was impaired to the amount of this expenditure if it were carried out. It was decided to refer the petition back to the residents for their decision. Residents of section seven petitioned for a plank roadway from Eighth avenue at Kelliher street around Seal Cove avenue to Sixth avenue. This was referred to the streets committee. o Mr. Robert Kerr, passenger traffic manager of the Canadian Pacific railway and steamship lines, having attained the age when he deems It wise to give up the active duties of his position, has asked to be released HOMER "PRINCE GEORGE" In the pigeon lofts of the Wallsend Shipyard, Newcastle-on-Tyne, where the steamships "Prince Rupert" and "Prince George" of the Grand Trunk Pacific steamship fleet were built, the young homer "Prince George" less record of the ship's performance.

Mr. Kerr U Formally Given Charge of Chinch Here Last evening, Rev. F. W. Kerr, the new pastor of the Presbyterian church here, was formally inducted to his new charge. Rev. Dr. Fraser, of Vancouver, was present, and as he had to catch the steamer for the south, the services were commenced sharp at 7.30. The sermon was preached by Rev. Dr. Fraser, who in an able discourse gave valuable advice which might be of profit to the congregation and the new preacher alike. Mr. McLeod delivered the charge to the new pastor, and Rev. Mr. Ross delivered a charge to the people. Before the meeting closed the new preacher spoke and Rev. Mr. Sing, representing the Methodists, and Rev. Mr. James, the Anglicans, gave a warm welcome to the newcomer to the city. Alex. Manson, an old college chum of Rev. Mr. Kerr, spoke briefly, also. In about two weeks time a welcome will be extended to the new minister ln the ohurch. Rev. Mr. Kerr has already given evidences of being admirably adapted for the work he has here in hand. o Ice melts at thirty-two degrees, wax at one hundred and forty-nine degrees, lead at six hundred and twenty-six degrees, and platinum at three thousand six hundred and thirty-two degrees. Local News The council has again been notified that Impure meat has been found by the inspector In the city. The meat was destroyed. * * * The city engineer has recommended the purchase of a reducing valve for the city water mains. At present the pipes are not calculated to withstand the pressure now put on, and a reducing valve would do away with a lot of leakage, * » » Yesterday was the day set for the hearing of the application on behalf of the city for the water record on Cloyah River. An adjournment was taken until Monday when formal application will be made before J. H. McMullen, the government agent, as water commission for the district. * • * On the suggestion of Aid. Lynch the city council will enter into negotiations for the purchase of a low lying lot between Seventh and Eighth streets on First avenue. This Is the natural outlet for the sewer and was not sold by the company at the time of the sale in order that it might be so used. It. was suggested that it might now be purchased by the city and used also as a dumping ground. * * * Fire destroyed the premises occupied by the King Ti laundry on Fifth avenue on early Wednesday morning. The building was in flames before It was noticed so that there was no chance of saving it. L. Crippen, who resides near the place, noticed the flames and rung ln an alarm, A prompt response by the fire department prevented the spread to any other buildings. It was useless to try to save the laundry as the building was a mass of flame when the firemen reached the place. The spread of it to other buildings was prevented, however. SENSATIONAL CHARGES One of the most sensational marine enquiries held by the British Board of Trade for some time past was that into the loss of the British steamer British Standard in which judgment has just been given alleging that the steamer was wrecked "by human agency." This vessel was making her maiden voyage from Cardiff to Rio de Janeiro with a cargo of coal and patent fuel, and when between Cape Frio and Rio de Janeiro it was alleged that she struck some submerged and unseen object not marked on the chart. The captain and crew of twenty-six hands took to the boats and rowec' away the steamer foundering five nours afterwards. The crew were picked up by a Brazilian schooner, and eventually landed at Rio Janeiro. This inquiry has lasted a full fortnight, the court even sitting on August Bank Holiday, so important were the points at issue considered.

He had authorized his clerk to do It and knew the notices were there. Mr. Kearns in reply to Commissioner Smith said that he posted the notice himself previous to the date required. Commissioner Merryfield suggested that In connection with the advertisements the publishers of the paper should give evidence. Mr Manson said that In the rase of land note s with the government the declaration if the man making the search was all that was required. Question of Classification Commissioner Merryfield returned "we are dealing with liquor licenses, not land now." Mr, Manson said that he was aware of that, but all he wanted was that they should "not act like a lot of jackasses." "Thank you," came the reply from Commissioner Merryfield. Commissioner Merryfield Insisted that it was necessary to have the publishers testify. This was agreed to and some evidence taken in this respect. Mr. Manson appeared for John Goodman, when the necessary evidence of the advertisement and posting of the notice was submitted. Mr. Manson, for P. Moran, of the Victoria Hotel, produced the necessary evidence of publication and posting of notices. E. Rosang had no representative present. For H. B. McDonald, Mr. Patmore appeared. The applicant testified that the necessary notice was posted on his building for over fourteen days. He put it up about the 20th of Au- %.. st. Some days it was down and he p..i up new ones. Evidence was also pi oduced of publication of the notice. The chief of police testified that there were no convictions against Mr. McDonald. Mr. McRae waB convicted of illegal selling on the premises, j There was nothing ln connection with Mr. McDonald, however. J. E. Sullivan's application, it was announced, had lapsed. Applications in Order S. Camozzi was represented by Mr. Patmore. Mr. Camozzi testified to the necessary notice having been posted and evidence was also given of the publication of the application. The application of Mr. Cassley was asked to be withdrawn. For A. J. Prudhomme, Mr. Carss appeared. The applicant testified that he posted the notice about August 23. The publication of the app'lcation was also proved. Mr. Saughettl's application was withdrawn. Mr. Carss appeared for Mr. Bondeaux who testified that from August 29 a notice had been posted and evidence was also given tbat tbe application had been advertised. Peter Black was represented by Mr. Carss. The applicant testified that he posted notice on August 29, and evidence that the notice had been published was also given. Mr. Albert was represented by Mr. Carss. The applicant testified that he posted the necessary notice in August. Capeccl & Bianco were represented by Mr. Manson. The question of the posting of the notice was left over. For Robert Aahton, Mr. McCaffery withdrew the application. J. Y. Rochester was represented by Mr. Carss. Mr. Rochester testified to posting notice on August 30. It was still posted. H. E. Kirby's application was urged by Mr. Carss. G. W. Morrow appeared and stated he posted a no- cce on August 31. In M. Unmuth's application for the Queen's, Mr. Patmore appeared for the applicant. Mr. Unmuth testified tnat Mr. Sullivan, from whom he rented the Queen's, was not in the city now. He had posted the necessary notice. Wholesale Licenses The wholesale license applications which call only for an application being made in proper form were allowed to stand over. The bottle applications were considered, the first being Austin M. Brown, who was represented by Mr. Manson. A little trouble arose in' explaining the advertisement that had appeared. Mr. Manson failed to make clear to Commissioners Merryfield and Smith the point he raised. Mr. Smith Insisted upon proof and ln reply to Mr. Manson's further explanation said doubtless he (Mr. Manson) understood It, but they were "a lot of jackasses," and wanted proof. Mr. Manson said he did not say so. Commissioner Smith replied, "You said so a little whole ago." Commissioner Merryfield suggested that probably Mr. Manson had Intended to make it apply to himself. The applications of Mr. Levy, represented by Mr. Patmore, and of Mr. Sutherland, represented by Mr. Carss, were looked into. For Nick Martinovitch the application was likewise examined. Mr. Fisher, representing the North B. C. Liquor company, stated that the application had been in the necessary fourteen days. It had been put in September 1. The secretary said he received the application in the forenoon of September 1. Mr. Fisher pointed out It was in, therefore, fourteen clear days. The court then adjourned to examine the premises and meet again tiie next morning at ten o'clock. Ballot on Applications After adjournment on Wednesday afternoon the Hoard visited all the premises and when the court assembled on the following morning Commissioner Smith moved that all applications be decided by ballot. Mr. .Manson asked to withdraw the applications of P. C. Morang, Capecci & Bianco, and J. Goodman. This was granted. Mr. Manson called attention to the act in respect to the fact that it was specified that all decisions must be in open court. Commissioner Smith returned: "We are sitting In open court now, are we not." Mr. Manson replied they were. He only wished to call attention to the act. It was for the commissioners to decide. Commissioner Smith suggested that they were somewhat "dense" but they would proceed according to the law. After some consultation it was decided that a ballot could be taken, and an announcement made in open court of the result, Messrs. Patmore and Fisher agreeing that that was well within the meaning of the act. Licenses Granted Taking up the licenses in order the commissioners ballotted on J. E. Gilmor of the Premier Hotel, when a unanimous decision was reached to grant the license. In the matter of G. A. Sweet, the point was raised as to how the board could safeguard itself so as to ensure a transfer to any other manager who might come to the premises. It was finally decided to Issue it to Mr. Sweet as manager of the G. T. P. Inn. Commissioner Merryfield insisted that the Oriental employed there should be got rid of. Mr. Fisher said this had already been done. The vote was a unanimous one. The New Knox ln the name of O. Besner was unanimously granted. Met Obstacle When the application of Corley & tturgess came up a difficulty arose. Mr. Kearns, who posted the notices on the premises, wished to modify the statement he made the day before relative to the date of the posting. He was satisfied that it was about September 1 he did it. He could not now say positively that it was before the first. He could only say It was on or about September 1. Mr. Manson said he could produce evidence to show that the notice was posted for the necessary fourteen days before the sitting. The first meeting of the commissioners was not held to be a legal sitting. This was the first legal sitting. He could produce evidence to show that the notice was posted on the building for fourteen days before the date. It was not necessary, he held that the fourteen days should not be construed as Immediately before the sitting of the board. Mr. Manson wanted the opinion of Mr. Patmore on this point. He was disinterested. Commissioner Merryfield contended that this could only be an opinion. Mr. Patmore said he was not there fighting with the commissioners. If they wanted his opinion they could have it. Commissioner Merryfield felt that a precedent should be established. If agents were not made to comply exactly with the law there would be trouble later on. The chairman asked the opinion of Mr. Patmore ln the case. Mr. Patmore's Opinion Mr. Patmore held that the applicants had complied with the law in respect to having posted the neces sary notice three months before. As long as the notice was posted within a reasonable time which he believed three months constituted, It was all right. Mr. Fisher being asked for his opinion, said that the posting must be on the building for which application was sought. If this notice was posted three months ago it would be on another building. Mr. Manson said this was incorrect. He could prove it was on this building. Mr. Fisher believed that it must be for the fourteen days proceeding the sitting. He did not want his opinion to be taken as it was given off hand. Mr. Carss excused himself from giving an opinion on the ground of his being police magistrate. Take No Chance Commissioner Merryfield felt like taking no chance of violating the act. . The chairman asked leave tp leave the chair, and moved that they proceed to ballot on this application. A further conference of the board followed after which the chairman withdrew his motion. Commissioner Smith moved that the application lay on the table until the next meeting. This carried, and the same course was pursued with each of the following applications: il. B, McDonald, S. Caniossl, A. J, Prudhomme, M. Bou- iloiiux, p. Black, M. Albert, .1 V. Rochester, II. K. Kirby and M. t'n- muth. Proceeding to the wholesale applications, the first on the list was Frank Clapp. Commissioner Smith moved to lay it over until the next meeting. Must Issue Licenses Mr. Patmore said that according to the act a wholesale liquor license was In exactly the same shape as that of a retail trader. He had tendered the fee for those whom he represented. He did not believe that the board could refuse any applicant. They could no more do it than In the case of retail traders. If they did so they were acting in restrain of trade which was illegal. Commissioner Merryfield suggested that the commissioners had then no authority in the matter. Mr. Patmore said they were able to control these as far as ther bylaw specified. He did not think they could refuse to grant licenses to any offering. Mr. Fisher's opinion being sought he held that the board could refuse or grant or lay over any class of licenses. The chairman felt that the wholesale applications were different from the retail applications. If they laid over some of these applications and granted others it would give those granted licenses an unfair advantage. He favored giving all of them licenses. They were all reputable men. He moved that each be granted licenses. Commissioner Merryfield said he certainly would not support that motion. He thought that they should be regulated. . Mr. Patmore pointed out that the city would get $2,250 from this. Why should any advantage be given to a few? The chairman felt it would be hard to discriminate. He viewed It from the side of the city's finances. If these men were willing to take a chance they should not be restrained. Not Fair to Take Money Commissioner Merryfield said that it was not reasonable to suppose that all could do business on a paying basis. The business was not here and It was not fair to take their money. If It were shown that the board had no authority to refuse that would make a different aspect. Commissioner Smith favored the board acting unanimously If possible. So far this had been done. Commissioner Merryfield wished to know how long It would take the city solicitor to go Into the subject. Mr. Manson said probably he could give it the next day by ten. Commissioner Smith moved that they proceed to ballot on Sutherland & Mavnard. This motion carried and the board decided unanimously to grant the application. The same course followed with the' Prince Rupert Wnolesal^ Liquor Company, E. D. Clarke & H. H. Clarke, and the Northern B. C. Liquor company. The others were all laid on the table until next meeting. The application of Mllner & Bow- ness for a restaurant, license was also laid over. In the matter of bottli licenses, Commissioner Merryfield wished to know if the granting of a bottle license would cut out an notel license. Mr. Manson said that was his opin ion of the matter. Commissioner Merryfield thereup on moved that the bottle license application be laid over until a written opinion should be handed down by the solicitor. The court then adjourned until October 15. COMMERCIAL LINE G.T.P. Sent Out First Freighter •■ Which Rates Were Paid. Foley, Welch & Stewart Ship Supplies Out of Prince Rupert by Way of the Railway On Wednesday the first train load of freight as a producer for the G. T. P. left the local headquarters for a point up the river about 6ii miles. The event Is of Importance as it marks the real beginning of the commercial carrying trade of the company from here. The freight was consigned to the Foley, Welch & Stewart company, the contractors. There were sixteen cars ln the train. The rolling stock of the G. T. P. at this point is being increased from time to time ln order to be In a position to meet all demands that will be put upon it. The fall In the water of the Skeena during the past few days has made the handling of the freight by the contracting company rather difficult and they will welcome the auxiliary to be found In the railway, by which means there will be a saving of time effected. The engineering department of the railway expect to have the road completed to the Canyon early next month which will allow considerable freight to go up that way this fall. The steamers will then have to handle it from ther on to the camps. o ****************■;. $«*** «..;..;.<. * MARINE NEWS I ************************** KESTREL CALLED Personals Dr. Clayton has returned from the south with Mrs. Clayton. * ** G.

SEALERS CLAIM The owners of the sealing BChoon- |cr Agnes Donahua, in Victoria and Halifax have received the first part of the compensation of $15,000 to be paid by the Uruguayan government for the seizure of the vessel six years ago by a Uruguayan warship on a charge of poaching. The Agnes Donahue, which sailed from Victoria was in command of Capt. Matt Ryan and had a number of Victoria sealers included in her crew. The vessel was held for ten months at Montevideo, where the crew were lodged in Jail, So far nothing has been received by the crew on account of the illegal Imprisonment. . o The finest opal known Is that belonging to the Austrian crown jewels. It is five Inches long, tow and a half inches wide, and weighs seventeen ounces. A change has been made in the schedule of the G. T. P. steamers. In future the two Princes, the Rupert and the George, wil1 not proceed farther than this port on their way north. They will connect with the Bruno here and the latter vessel will at once proceed to Stewart, returning in time to allow the larger steamers to sail on time for Vancouver, Victoria and Seattle. The freight for Stewart will be discharged and put on the Bruno as quickly as possible on arrival here, and with all freight originally at this port on board beforehand, the Bruno will be able to get a quick discharge from Prince Rupert allowing the Prince Rupert and the Prince George plenty of time to handle the trade here. On the way back from Stewart the Bruno will call at Kincollth and Port Simpson. Some further alterations have been made necessary in the Queen Charlotte service which is set forth in the advertisement of the company appearing in another column. QUADRA HERE The D. G. S. Quadra (Capt. Hacked ) Is in these waters at present overhauling the buoys and lights. A few days more will complete the work when the Quadra will go to Port Simpson and do the necessary work there, The vessel on the way north took In all the aids to navigation from Mlllbank sound northward. (in completing the work hen' she will proceed soutii and finish the work fi Din Mlllbank Sound southward. LIGHT HOUSE TENDER The marine nnd fisheries department has determined upon the construction of another lighthouse lender for service on the Britisli Columbia roast. For the past two years chartered steamers have been used, one or more vessels fixed at $lii0 per day, have been constantly in the employ of the department, and recommendations were made about two years ago for the construction of another light- iiouse tender. Tenders have been invited for the building of the new government steamer. The new tender will be a twin screw steamer, 200 feet in length, 38 feet beam, 17.6 feet deep, with draft of 11.6 feet and supplied with engines giving a speed of twelve knots an hour. PRINCE RUPERT JOURNAL Friday, September 16, 1910. ENSURING HEALTH Henry Vivian, MP., of England, Gives Interesting Facts in Vancouver. He Points Out the Necessity For Proper Hygienic Conditions in Cities "I have a great belief in the future of our race, and just as we have led on the battlefield we certainly have led iii industry—our country was the pioneer in the modern industrial system—so I trust that with every advance in the control of man over the forces of nature and over the means of health, we may lead in the creation of those conditions throughout the land which our race occupies, in making for the highest development possible; that our race shall he robust, physically fit and clean, every man fit to do his share of work. That we may have the art of the Greeks, that we may have the power of organization of the Romans, who conquered the world, and that we may have the best that the Christian religion can give us in morals and ethics. Canada has, perhaps, the greatest opportunity to make( her contribution towards this goal. I pray she may not lose that opportunity." Such were the words with which- Mr. Henry Vivian, M. P. for Birkenhead, in the imperial house of commons, concluded an address before the members of the Canadian Club In Vancouver. Mr. Vivian is one of the great pioneers of the important housing problem in Great Britain, and is in Canada at the invitation of Earl Grey to talk to Canadians upon this question, which is looming so largely in all of the great cities of the world. In this connection, too, he had a word of sound, wholesome advice to give to Canadians. Mistakes Were Made "/i'U have here." t snid, "nn enormous opiovini:/ We hav made our mistakes ir. Ihe old land.

"You have here in tie miking towns by the hundred; you have cities so young at present that they have not yet ruined their chances o! becoming ideal cities. In some casts they have gone a long way in ihat direction. I have seen conditions of life in one or more of your cities on this side that would not be to'°rat?d In London twenty-four hours. Now, you complain from time to time, and rightly so, of our sending you inefficient immigrants. I admit it. They are not only inefficient on this side —they are inefficient on the other— many would not come unless they were. Preserve Health Conditions "Up to now the health of Canada has been preserved not by the design of man, but by the influence of nature. You have not been able to be unhealthy. But gradually you are attempting to build up big cities, and as you advance along these lines, unless you grapple with this problem of down town development you will begin in produce, nnd ultimately produce as rapidly in the new land the Inefflclents that we have produced in the old." To illustrate his point, he Instanced the hundreds of thousands who riiickocf^fi'iiii the rural districts In the old land to the cities on accounl of the great industrial boom that took place. Every able-bodied man was engaged In milking money, and they overlooked the need tor creating in those great industrial centres they were building up, development on the lines thai would develop a healthy kind of workman for the shops that were being liuilt up. He appealed to them to create tho public sentiment necessary to take this question in hand here. During tlii' Inst live years they had been stirred in the old land by the number of fact? brought out concerning the Influence of unhealthy conditions in home life in the towns upon the character and physique of the people, and gradually the Influence of those who had been called cranks had made itself felt in the COAL NOTICES Skeena Land District—District of Coast.

In Liverpool, an enquiry was carried out which produced startling facts, in comparison with an enquiry carried out on similar lines at Port Sunlight, the industrial village established by Lever Bros., where special attention was paid to the health of the firm's employees. These figures compared the children at both places at the age of fourteen years, and showed that the children inhabiting the healthy homes of the great industrial village of Port Sunlight, just three miles outside the city of Liverpool, were four inches taller than the children of the same age in Liverpool, and thirty pounds heavier in weight. Similar comparisons were made at other great cities with the same similar results. He urged them to think what this meant on the race as a whole, for in the long run that race would be supreme that produced the most effective human unit. Startling Statistics "The medical officer of health for Finsbury enquired into the effect on the lives of those under his care, and he found that In the one-room home the death rate was forty per thousand; in the two-room home, twenty per thousand; in the three- room home, fifteen per thousand, while in the four-room home the death rate was only eight to ten per thousand. In other words, the slaughter of human life was reduced by three-fourths when the moderate standard of comfort of a four-room house was reached." These enquiries stimulated many to action, with the result that several industrial villages were built outside large cities, where only eight houses were allowed to the acre, recreation grounds and breathing spaces were provided, and each house was provided, with its garden space, and the houses ranged from those for the artisan to the city magnate. The experiments were turning out remarkably well and were producing good healthy conditions in the lives of tho people. In the legislation that had just been passed, it was made possible for a town council to lay out the whole area around the town that was not bull! upon on lines which would secure for all time healthy conditions for the population that would in habit that area. It wns recognized Hint many towns could not set tl •lie problem sufficiently far ahead within the boundary of the existing town, and it was therefore decided to give them power to act beyond their municipal boundaries, and so the areas around the towns can he laid out years ahead for future developments. o The wife of a naval officer attached to the academy at Annapolis has in her employ an Irish sehvant who recently gave evidence of nostalgia.

THE PRINCE RUPERT JOURNAL ^^^ "UP-TO-DATE OFFICES **********************.>.j.* .j, I THE HUDSON'S BAY GO.'Y f ************************** Lord Strathcona and Mount Royal recently presided over the general court of the Hudson's Bay company, with whose fortunes he has been for so many years closely Identified, and which, like himself, is in a lusty old age. The Glasgow Herald, referring to this great old Instituiioi., says:— "There are few things more remarkable In the history of commerce than the vitality and prosperity of this great trading and iand-owning concern. Alone of the merchant adventurers of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, It survives and flourishes. The Virginia company, which is the starting point of English history in what are now the United States of America, is only a memory. The Irish society formed to settle Ulster in Jacobean days, Is probably not even that. The East India company, most magnificent and illustrious of commercial undertakings, was dissolved more than fifty years ago. "The Hudson's Bay company, of which the charter dates from 1670, remains securely entrenched In diminished but still princely possessions, and this year distributes in dividends to a comfortable compact body of shareholders, the sum of £240,000—free of income tax, for the house of lords, ln its judicial capacity, has affirmed that the peculiar conditions under which the company holds and disposes of its lands relieves it from the exactions of British chancellors of the exchequer. "Romance begins In the day of small things. The pioneers of British enterprise in the lone lands of Canada were two Frenchmen, Gros- seliers and Rodisson, who attempted first of all to enlist the court of France in the promotion of the fur trade. Disappointed by their countrymen they turned to England and told the interesting story of their hopes and beliefs to Charles II and Prince Rupert. The result was an expedition to Hudson's Bay, which was despatched in 1668, and returned with good reports in the following year. Gnve Away Canada "In 1670 the company received its charter, and with a generosity rivalling that of the pope, who divided the New World between two Catholic powers, Charles II handed over to the adventurers the whole trade of all those seas, straits and bays, rivers lakes, creeks and sounds in whatsoever latitude they shall be, that He within the entrance of the straits, commonly called Hudson's straits. That is to say, the company received a gift of the trade in and practical sovereignty over all the territories between Hudson's straits and the summits of the still unknown Rocky mountains—Labrador and Rupert's Land, or what are now defined as Manitoba and the recently-formed provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan. When Canada Began "It was a truly regal gift. It made the company the providence of a continent so long as Canada remained as it did for so many generations, except in the settled portions of Ontario and Quebec, a land of tremendous distances and mighty solitudes. Rivalry began with the formation of the Northwest company, a fur trading concern with its headquarters in Montreal. The severe struggle that ensued continued for many years, but ended ultimately ln exhaustion and amalgamation. But there was a more portentious rivalry—that of the development of the Canadian nation, which the company was otliged to meet and conciliate by other methods. No country advancing at political Intelligence and aptitude, and determined to be the controller of its own destinies, could submit to the perpetuation of a gigantic monopoly In a vast part of Its territories'. Itchiiyiiig Canada "Accordingly, In 1869, on the eve of confederation, the mother country stepped in, and, by way <of making amends for the irresponsible munificence of her Stuart sovereign, repurchased nineteen-twentieths of the land included in the seventeenth century gift. The price was only £300,000, £60,000 more than the company has distributed in one annual dividend. The sum paid and the potentialities, as well as the real magnitude of the subject surrendered, makes a sugegstive contrast. It reminds one of the pepper-corn rent on which some of the land owners of the past enjoyed their fat heritages. "But even the twentieth part of its original possessions represents to the company a sufficiently handsome revenue in the present and the prospect of enhanced values In the future. It happens in this case, perhaps, as It has happened In others, that the part is greater than the whole. Without the surrender to which we have alluded the progress of Canada would have been indlfin- Itely delayed, and without that progress all the enormous inheritance of the successors of 1607 would have been valueless. Big Land Owners "The several millions of acres with which the company is still endowed are scattered over the whole of the provinces where it once held its sovereignity, and as population flows in the biggest land owners in the world —as we may fairly call the fortunate shareholders—enjoy the pleasure of receiving an Increment far beyond the visions of Prince Rupert and his contemporary adventures. In 1904- $5 they sold land at an average price of one pound, five shillings, four pence per acre. Last year the average was two pounds, eleven shillings, one penny per acre. At the present time their ascertained possessions amount to 4,053,695 acres. But they have also lands accruing to them In the unsurveyed portion of the fertile belt approximating to 1,436,000 acres, so that the total quantity thev own may now be set down to 5,500,- 000 acres. What the value of this asset may be—and It must be remembered that the fur-trading privileges of the company were equal" last year to a profit of £166,156— it is impossible to surmise. "Who can guess what the population of Canatfa and the extent of its land hunger may be when the last of the Hudson Bay acres come to be disposed of? Long before that still distant time, no doubt, the company will have come into the market as a competitor for land, buying in order that it may sell again. In the meantime the shareholders have the satisfaction of knowing that there are several millions of pounds sterling between them and such a revision of their charter as would bring them and their diivdends within the graps of the British taxing authorities. We do not wonder that Lord Strathcona has never felt Inclined to sell a single share of the company in which, as he states, he is perhaps the largest shareholder." 0 COMMON NAMES PROTECTING MINERS Provincial Regulations Praised for Care Which is Given to Coal Workers. The New Rules Enforced Should Have Effect of Lessening Loss of Life How the Smiths Stand in England and Scotland Analyzing the surnames In Ireland and comparing theme with those In England and Scotland, Sir Robert E. Matheson, LL.D., registrar-general for Ireland, makes some very interesting discoveries in a special report issued by his majesty's stationery of- nce, Dublin. From the birth indexes of 1853, Sir Robert found that in England, with an estimated population of 18,- 404,421, the most common surnames were: Smith, 253,000; Jones, 242,- 100; Williams, 159,900; Taylor, 124,000; Davies, 113,600; Brown, 105,600; Thomas, 94,000; Evans, 93,000; Roberts, 78,400; Johnson, 69,500. The birth indexes for Scotland in 1863, when the population was estimated at 3,101,345, gave the following results: Smith, 44,200; McDonald, 36,600; Brown, 33,800; Thomson, 31,200; Robertson, 30,600; Campbell, 30,200; Wilson, 29,300; Anderson, 26,500; Scott, 22,400. In Ireland the Murphys represent 13.3 per 1,000 of the population. 0 CHARTER ACCOUNTS Question of Paying Expenses to Victoria Comes Before the Council The oBard of Trade a few evenings ago wrote to the city council with respect to the accounts of G. to. Morrow and W. E. Williams, relative to the charter. This was considered at the Board of Trade meeting which reported In favor of paying the travelling expenses of .Messrs. Morrow and Williams. Ills Worship said in this connection that lie did not think that if the expenses of these delegates were to be paid that the expenses also of Aid. Pattullo and Mr, Douglas should oe paid. Aid. Pattullo said that with respect to Mr. Douglas he certainly thought his expenses should be paid if the others were. Mr. Agnew had also gone down at the request of the committee and was entitled to re- numeration. Aid. Mobley said the Board of Trade felt that as they had appointed the two named these were the only ones upon which they could report. The matter was referred to the finance committee. The heightening of the Assouan dam is expected to occupy six years in all, and to Increase the annual value of the Egyptian cotton crop by between fifteen and twenty million dollars. G. T. P. Have Best Appointed Quarters in City of Vancouver Biitisn Columbia is being praised for a recent regulation that makes the use of life-saving apparatus compulsory ln the mines of the province, says the Toronto Mall and Empire. The particular appliance made obligatory on mine owners is a machine to pump oxygen into the mines in case of accident. Hitherto Germany has been the only country in the world where the use of this apparatus was compulsory. At the present time an agitation is being promoted to afford better protection for the miners of Pennsylvania, and Mr. Roosevelt's recent visit to iome of the mines is very likely to result in some plain speaking on the subject by the ex-president. In the meantime the miners of British Columbia may be considered to be among the best protected in the world. Besides compelling the mine owners to keep the oxygen apparatus on hand, the British Columbia government Is establishing life-saving stations at several mining centres. At all of these a number of instructors will be kept on hand to show employees how to operate the oxygen apparatus; and from them life-savers will be despatched to take charge of rescue work should a mining disaster occur. The federal government of the United States maintains five such stations, their chief function being the training of miners and mine officials in life-saving devices. As a result of the Whitehaven colliery disaster ill England the whole subject of freeing the lives of miners from some of the perils that now beset them was discussed in the House of Commons. The toll of dead and wounded in the mines in the old country is as great as that from any disease, even tuberculosis. In 1908, the last year for which official statistics were available, there were no fewer than 1,345 miners killed and 143,258 wounded. Nevertheless, Mr. Winston Churchill was able to show that the list of fatalities had been more than cut in half In 28 years. In 1880 it stood at 2.97 per thousand; and in 1908 it was only 1.32 per thousand. The average for the past five years has been only 1.2 5 per thousand. These figures compare favorably with those of the United States today. The French rate Is less-than 1.00 per thousand, and the Belgium rate exactly 1.00. Prussia, despite compulsory oxygen apparatus, is about half way between England and the United States. It costs four lives to mine 1,000,- 000 tons of coal in England, compared with nine thirty years ago, but Mr. Churchill believes that the rate should be still further reduced. His idea is that there should be compulsory drill In mines, something like the fire drill in schools. There also should be proper rescue apparatus and trained rescue parties. To quote from, his speech: "There would be very little advantage in men who understood the appliances going down into mines with which they were acquainted, and there would be very little advantage in men who knew the mine using the appliances for the first time. It is therefore necessary to set on foot a system of rescue parties in every mine to be trained at regular periods In the use of those appliances and in other matters essential to rescue work." The Inspection of coal mines is a farce, according to the home secretary; and one of the discouragements a zealous inspector meets with is the general indifference of the miners emselves. Though one out of every six in Injured each year, the men's familiarity with danger causes them to be amused at the anxiety of outsiders Moreover, in many mines the operatives are pair by piece work. They are supposed to do their own imbering as they advance Into the seam. If, however, they choose to skimp this part of the work, they have more time to spend on the really productive operation of getting the coal into the breakers. They feel that If they are willing to take chances, it is nobody's business. Clinging to this idea, they are apt to regard those who would befriend them as enemies. Such disasters as that at Whitehaven seem almost necessary to clear away the obstacles to reform. The G. T. P. in its work on this coast has shown that it wants nothing but the best in all ines. In Seattle the new wharf put in and accessories equipped by the company is the best in that port. In Victoria similar plans have been carried out. With respect to the city offices in Vancouver the News-Advertiser says: The new office of the Grand Trunk Pacific at 527 Granville street was opened yesterday. The new office is the finest ticket office in the city, and will compare favorably with any on the Pacific coast. The office is divided by large oak counters Into three divisions. The section toward the front Is occupied by 'the city ticket agent, Mr. H. Smith and his assltsants. The two other sections are occupied by the local freight agent of the G. T. P. and the Canadian Express company. All the furniture is new, and only the books and correspondence were taken from the old office. The counters, which are large and heavy, are made from quarter-sawed oak. The walls are finished in burlap and metal shingles cover the ceiling. The floor is covered with a linoleum imitation of hardwood. At the base of the counters marble blocks are placed to prevent the wood from being scratched or damaged. Among the fittings of the new office that will create great admiration is a set of twenty-eight pictures, mounted in handsome frames, showing popular scenes along the line of the new transcontinental road. A great deal of literature pertaining to the country traversed by the Grand Trunk Pacific is kept for the benefit of prospective passengers. 0 NEW MEDITERRANEAN The Westholme Lumber Company, Ld.

The Governor General Experienced Splendid Conditions in the Vast Inland Sea Earl Grey4 telegraphed to the secretary of state his story of the trip through Hudson Bay and straits. The telegram came by wireless from some point in Labrador. The governor-general tells of a delightful expedition, and also of good land areas which should be worth prospecting for minerals. For some distance on his way overland from Lake Winnipeg the country was rocky though a large area of good land lies to the north and becomes plentiful as Oxford Lake is approached. Along Knee Lake and from there to the bay the soil is deep consisting of clay and clay-loam. Extensive schists that may be mineral-bearing and that are certainly worth prospecting occur on upper Etchimamis, Oxford Lake, and Knee Lake, appearing to extend to Peep- stone and across the lakes, The governor-general was met by at Nelson harbor. The run to Fort, the government steamer Earl Grey Churchill was most enjoyable. He described summer sailing on "the Mediterranean of Canada" as quite as pleasant as on the Mediterranean of the Old World. Part of the despatch Is as follows: "The object of the governor-general's journey, as given by himself, is to explode the theory of the frozen north, and to add another chapter to the history of northern travelling. Earl Grey wanted to see in primeval state, for himself, the route from the northwest to the sea over which a fur trade has been carried for two centuries and a half. Two years hence the canoe will cease to he the vehicle of travel, for the Canadian government is driving a railroad through. "On August 8 at Norway House, farewell was taken of civilization, and the viceregal party embarked in twelve canoes with twenty-four Indians to wield the paddles and mounted policemen to form an escort, with a cook and two servants, all under command of Major Moodie, of the Northwest Mounted Police. The journey to Hudson Bay occupied twelve days, and the routine established on the first day was maintained throughout. "After two days on the Nelson River the flotilla slipped into the Etchimamis River, a small and swampy stream. This was followed to its head at Painted Stone Portage, where the canoes and supplies were carried overland to the Hayes River, which was followed straight down to Port Nelson, on the Hudson Bay.' 1 "On August 12 the flotilla swung □ □ D n □ D D £ □ P D D a P P P £ □ D P a a on SHERWIN & WILLIAMS PAINTS COVER THE EARTH.

Twelve canoes and a long line of Indians at the Hudson Bay post tired a fusllade of welcome. An address was presented by the Indians to the governor-general, who expressed great satisfaction to lind this Indian community so prosperous. "York Factory was reached next cloning in a heavy rum and here the Indian rifles were supplemented in their welcome by two old nlne- pounders, which were blazed away as fast as they could be reloaded. "Next evening tbe flotilla '-lipped Into the. water of Hudson Bay at Port Nelson. The first craft righted was a Canadian government schooner bearing a party of engineers making a survey of the approaches to this port, which will ltkelv b-i the terminus of the Hudson Hay railroad. "On the morning of the 21st the anchor was raised and the steamer moved up the coast to Fort Churchill, where the Hudson Bay steamer Pelican wan found starting for home, and the run to and through the Hudson Straits was made without Incident, the weather being line and no ice being seen."
