Newton Seeking Information The city council last evening passed upon the forms of contract which will be entered into by those who accept the task of clearing the shores of Woodworth Lake to make It ready for the raising of the water. The contracts provide for the completion of the work in two months from the time of letting the contracts. It is set forth that as time is the essence of the contract that there will be no extension of time allowed, but the penalty of $25 a day will be enforced. Aid. Hilditch suggested that as It was essential to have a clause like this it was hardly fair to insist upon the station men doing the work alone if they found it could not be completed in the time. He thought it might be well to allow them to employ workmen if necessary to finish in time. Aid. Douglas suggested it should be at 45 cents an hour that the men should be employed. There should be a regulation as to the charges for board. It was pointed out that the rate was provided for already in the contract. Aid. Newton suggested that it should be specified that citizen workmen only should be employed. A difficulty arose in defining a citizen workman, Aid. Hllditch pointing out that a man has to be here to be hired and being here would constitute citizenship, so that while all members of the council felt like Aid. Newton, that they should see that the residents of the city got the preference, it was very difficult to regulate it so as not to render the clause of no effect. , Aid. Kirkpatrick was of the opinion if two ma'.y of these restrictions were worked in it would leave the situation in such shape that a contractor or station man had no initiative in the matter. He would prefer rather than to do this to call it all aff and do the work by day labor. It was finally decided to allow the right to station men to employ extra workers if necessary to finish the work on time. Aid. Newton asked the question whether it had been ascertained that the putting in of a municipal sawmill would effect a saving to the city. He had been told by a man who ought, to know that it would be cheaper to buy the staves and not put in the plant. Aid. Hilditch pointed out that the whole council had this matter in hand. Aid. Newton did not require to ask him the question he did as ., he had no more opportunity of knowing the facts connected with it than had Aid. Newton. They were going on the recommendation of Mr. Thomson, the expert engineer of Seattle. In Seattle staves had jumped from $25 to $45 a thousand in one night and the city then put in its own plant and manufactured them at $8.35 a thousand. These facts had been given to the council by Mr. Thomson. Aid. Hilditch added that he had figured the proposition out with the city engineer on the ground and was perfectly satisfied that there would be a saving of about one-half. Then if they bought the staves It would be fir that would be supplied. The life of these would be twenty years. By using the yellow cedar, as proposed, the life could be extended to 100 years. He was satisfied there was plenty of the yellow cedar on the ground to meet the demands. Aid. Kerr agreed with this view of the situation. Aid. Newton said he did not know anything about it. He was simply stating what he had been told, COAL ON SKEENA Measures Found on Lome Creek Which Promise to Give Good Values. Vancouver Syndicate Has Staked Large Area Within the Producing District REFERENCE MADE LEFT FOR UP RIVER Reference Was Hade to it at Council Meeting Last Evening. Steps Are Well Advanced Towards Abolishing This Method of Election Want Light A petition was presented to the council last evening asking for electric lights on Eighth Avenue between McBride and Fulton Streets. Aid. Kerr reported that the light committee had this under consideration and would give it as soon as cluster lights arrived. If British Columbia is a surprise parcel, as Chief Justice Hunter has been pleased to describe it, certainly Northern Britisii Columbia would seem to be the portion that has the greater number of the valuable surprises. Every day as the country is being more closely examined there are rich resources coming to view. Among the latest announcements is the presence of coal of excellent value on the Skeena River about Lome Creek, or 130 miles from Prince Rupert. The area has been taked in the interests of a Vancouver syndicate which has at its head R. D. Rorison. Lome Creek has been exploited as a gold producing stream, but the presence of coal seems for the most part to have been overlooked. Out- croppings were known but they never seem to have been followed up to any marked degree until taken up this summer by a Vancouver syndicate and investigated on the ground by G. W. Brady, an engineer of experience. He has been so well satisfied with the result of his investigations that he has staked a large area which will be still further investigated and developed. This latest coal discovery is right on the G. T. P. It is of high quality and the formation, Mr. Brady says, promises well. The area will require to have borings put down to ascertain the full value of the beds. The quality of the outcropping is shown by analysis to be excellent. Mr. Brady left for the south by the Camosun to report to his associates in Vancouver and decide upon what is to be done. PRODUCTIVE LANDS Large Returns From the Kitsumkalum Valley Obtained by F. Bohler. Thirty-fold Increase in Potato Crop on Rich Farm Areas in Interior The lands of the Kitsumkalum Valley is proving itself a rich field for farming operations. F. Bohler, who was in the city last week for several days, proved the productiveness of the soil in the matter of potato growing. Last spring he planted fifty pounds of potatoes and was rewarded this fall with fifteen sacks of 100 pounds each. The return is a heavy one and the quality is equal to the famous Ashcroft potatoes. The Kitsumkalum is apparently destined to be one of the market garden sections that will supply Prince Rupert with its vegetables as well as it fruits. Invitation to Banquet The Ladies' Aid of the Methodist Church extended to the mayor and council last evening an invitation to attend the Thanksgiving banquet. The invitation was accepted. o Prison Labor The Longshoremen's Union wrote to the council last evening protesting against the employment of a chain gang. On motion it was referred to the police commissioners. Rev. W. H. McLeod of the Baptist Church has gone to Vancouver to attend the Missionary Conference there, and also the provincial Sunday School Convention. ....... SHORT SESSION * (Special to The Journal) * * Ottawa, Oct. 17.—Parliament * * meets on November 15. It will * * adjourn on Christmas for a brief * * period and Premier Borden * * hopes to prorogue before the end * * of January. ,! The ward system and the steps that have been taken by the council to have it abolished was introduced into discussion at tlie council last evening on a. proposed motion by Aid. Newton. Aid. Hilditch, as acting mayor, suggested that this rightfully belonged to unfinished business, as it had already been before the council many months ago. Aid. 'Newton said he never heard anything of it at council meeting and Aid. Douglas was ready with his "me—too." Aid. Hilditch pointed out that when Mr. Hays and the G. T. P. party were in the city the question was taken up with Mr. Hays. The council could only act on a petition properly signed being presented. The council felt that if a petition was to be sufficiently signed to be of any effect the G.T.P. would have to sign it. Accordingly, .Mr. Hays was approached and his views on the question asked. He was agreeable to it but he could not sign such a petition without taking it up at Montreal. Accordingly, the petition went to Montreal. A few weeks ago he (Aid. Hllditch) had asked if there had been any further word about It. The matter had been turned over to the city solicitor because the council felt that it could not as a council act in the matter. The city solicitor had replied that it had not been received from Montreal yet. Aid. Newton said lie raised It because a certain paper had been anxious for him to move in the matter, and he wanted to give that paper the satisfaction of thinking that it was doing something. If the matter was in hand he would let it drop at that. Aid. Hilditch pointed out that bad the papers that were now so anxious about wiping out this ward system been in earnest they should have taken action long ago. If ail had been as lethargic as these papers in the matter there would have been little chance to have had anything done, lhe council could not petition itself, but had members of tbe council not taken the initiative months ago and had the G. T. P.'s signature secured there would have been no chance whatever now to have se- sured the wiping out of the ward system. The newspapers should be as interested as anyone in this matter and might have taken the initiative. o STRUCK A ROCK Alderman Vernor W. Smith Has Gone to New Hazelton to Join Staff. Foley, Welch & Stewart's Change of A Bloody Buttle Is Anticipated Wlr Headquarters Takes From Cily Valued Residents REPUBLIC OF CHINA Revolutionists in Orient Have Put Armed Forces in the Field to Oppose Imperialists C. P. R. Steamer Princess Beatrice Stranded on Way South North of Vancouver Island. It Is Expected She Will Re Easily Hauled Off by the Salvor, Which Is Now Alongside Her (Special to The Journal) Victoria, Oct. 17.—The salvage steamer Salvor reached the Princess Beatrice late last night. They will commence unloading the cargoe today. It is believed she can be floated without very much damage. The Princess Beatrice, during heavy weather on her way soutli, went ashore on Noble Island, not far from Hardy Bay. The Princess Royal, on her way nortli, went to her assistance and took off her passengers, taking them to Alert Bay, where the Princess Mary was to pick them up and take them soutli. When the Princess Royal, which reached here late last night, left the Beatrice, about twenty-four hours before reaching here, the weather was fine and the stranded steamer was not in any evident danger. It was expected she would be dragged off without much trouble and with little damage. The Beatrice carried a good cargo of salmon, which may be damaged as a result of the stranding on the rocks and the taking In of water in her hold. On Saturday, Vernor W. Smith, paymaster of Foley, Welci & Stewart, returned from a trip ;o Vancouver, where he saw Mrs. Smith c.rr on her v*-it to New York. Yesterday Mr. Smith left by rail for tire end of the G. T. P. tracks on his way to New Hazelton, the headquarters of Foley, Welch & Stewart for the next few years. The city of Prince Rupert loses in Mr. Smith a public spirited citizen. He was never wanting when anything affecting the city's welfare was proposed, and took an active part in. the affairs of the place. Ever since incorporation he has been an alderman of the city, giving valuable serves to the place. He is also a valued member of the company by whom he is employed, but in spite of the fact that his time was quite fully taken up with the business connected with that organization he found time to give to public affairs in Prince Rupert. He gave his time ungrudgingly, also, and members of the council with whom he served can testify to the ripe judgment which he brought to bear on matters of public concern. Mr. Smith was a member of the licencing board and was also a member of the executive committee of the Conservative Association, where his counsel was ever valued. He has quite large interests In Prince Rupert and in the Skeena District. It will be the hope of all citizens that he may yet return to Prince Rupert and take up his residence here, where he will be heartily received. In the removal of the Foley, Welch & Stewart staff to a point up the river, Prince Rupert loses in addition to Mi. Smith many other estimable citizens who have contributed to the welfare of the city and whose places in various spheres of usefulness will be bard to fill. Most of them became very much attached to Prince Rupert, and it is the fond hope in the city that eventually they may in many cases make their way back to this port to take up their homes. Troops Meet Between l'ckiir and Hankow NO SIGN OF PEACE Diplomatic Efforts Made at Rome Have Failed to Bring Results- Italy's Demands. (Special to The Journal) San Francisco, Oct. 17.—Sixty- five thousand revolutionists have ordered to intercept the imperial column of twenty thousand, en route from Pekin to Hankow. A bloody battle Is expected. The revolutionists are determined to control the situation and have planned their rising skillfully. The revolutionists have declared a republic, electing Li Yun Hung, lieutenant commander of the Imperial new army, as president. Dr. Sun Yat Sen, alleged to be the real leader of the Chinese revolution and prospective president of the new onti-Manchu republic iu China, who has a price of $100,000 on his head, is on the Pacific Coast. Although the revolutionists elected beneral Li Yunn Hung president, Dr. Sun will be recognized when he reaches China. The work which he has done there for so many years past will cause him at once to be recognized as the real leader of the rebel movement. Hall Opened On Sunday morning the Presbyterian Hal1, on Fourth Avenue, was opened for worship, with a large attendance present. The building is a most comfortable one and the congregation is to be congratulated upon having a place so well adapted for for all church gatherings as this one is. Rev. Mr. Kerr will hold services there every Sunday morning. The evening services will continue to be held in the Empress Theatre. o REFORM TPIE MILITIA Italy will Give NO Compensation to Turkey tin- Surrender of Tripoli (Special to The Journal) London, Oct. 17.—Tire Vienna correspondent of the Chronicle learns that all diplomatic efforts made at Home to bring about peace have failed.

Denies Slavery Paris, Oct. 17.—While the Turkish embassies deny the existence of salv- ery in Tripoli, for the reason—as tHey set forth—that the Ottaman empire was a signatory to the anti- slavery convention at Brussels, Ital- ion officials declare that, nothwitli- standing the denial, the fact remains that Tripoli, up to two weeks ago, was the only outlet of the great slave market of Central Africa. Slavery, they point out, had always in Africa its establish seat, as it was allowed by the Koran and approved by usage. Its worst feature in Tripoli was that for each slave who arrived alive on the Mediterranean Coast, ten had died while crossing the desert. Italy, Great Britain and France, wishing to stop the flow of slaves through Tripoli, instructed their consuls to make strong representations against the laxity of the Ottoman officials, but according to the official documents, the traffic continued. A Holy War Reports from Tripoli say Arabs of the interior are circulating a report that the great Malidi of the Sahara, having heard of tbe Italian invasion, is gathering arms and men and trained horsemen, and has proclaimed a holy war which is to be conduced relentlessly until the infidels are driven into the sea. I'r-cireli Sohlecis ltidliy According to the Cri de Paris, although the soldiers who had completed their two years' military service were mustered out as usual, their clothing and equipment were bundled up and left so as to be resumed at a minute's notice in case of the mobilization against Germany making it necessary. Writers have criticized tiro government for so weakening (lie army at such a time, more than 200,000 men being let out.

PRINCE RUPERT JOURNAL Whaling in South Seas There is at present a remarkable revival of the whaling industry in the Soutli Seas. Hitherto the Nor- wegions have had the monoply of whale catching in the Antarctice regions, but British-owned vessels will soon be in evidence. It is known that the profits are large, and capitalists are prepared to take the risk. A Nortli Shields firm, Messrs. Richard, Irvin & Sons, have just despatched to the Antarctic a fleet newly gathered together. A large four-masted sailing ship has been equipped with an auxiliary Diesel oil motor, and will act as "factory" ship. Boilers and tanks are fitted on board for blubber boiling and oil storage. Two small craft, also with oil motor propelling power, will do the actual whale catching work. The Sound of Jura, as the big sailed is called, has every appliance for dealing with the whale according to the most modern ideas. The huge mammal when converted into a market able commodity will represent, besides oil and whalebone, bonemeal, manure, cattle food, solid meat, and spermaceti. It is, indeed, wonderful the amount of merchantable goods to be obtained from a whale. As the vessels of the little fleet from Shields are fitted with wireless telegraphy, they will keep in touch with eac hother and with the shore station. Probably the most important station in the extreme s/iuth is that owned by a firm with headquarters In Leith, but whose ships fly the Nor-j weigan flag—Messrs. Chr. Salvensen & Co. A son of the founder of the firm, and brother of the partners, is Lord Salvensen, a Scottish judge. This whaling station Is at the Falkland Islands, and has sent many cargoes of oil home. At this moment a large tramp steamer is in Leith Dock being fitted up as a floating oil factory for Messrs. Salvensen's station. And last year new Lelth- built small whaling steamers were sent out. This large steamer will follow as soon as the boiling down arrangements are completed and the holds made ready for comprehensive storage of oil and by-products. Norwegian Activity As showing the importance of this station in the extreme South Atlantic —in the same latitude as the Straits of Magellan—it may be added that not long ago a steamer took out from Lcku a "lull cargo of 3,000 tons of coal and 20,000 empty barrels. But the Norwegians have no intention of allowing the trade which they have made peculiarly their own to languish in their hands. Two companies were formed recently in Norway to prosecute whaling in the Antarctic. They have obtained the necessary concessions from the New Zealand government, and their headquarters will be at Bluff, Southland. Only the other day the British company was registered, under the title of the Southern Whaling and Sealing Company, Limited, with a capital of £60,000, the objects being to acquire the business carried on at Capetown under the name of the Southern Corporation Company, and at North Shields as the Southern Whaling aud Sealing Company. Three large British steamers have been bought within the past few months by the Norwegian companies for converting into floating factories. One is the liner Carnarvonshire of Liverpool, formerly the Gaekwar of 4,219 tons gross register. Another is the fine Dundee steamer, the Den of Airlie, of 3,507 tons gross register; and the third, the Whitby steamer German. In the necessary alterations being made to the Germania special attention is paid to the equipment of appliances for converting the carcase of the whale into manure, for which there is a good demand. But while discussing the fishing in the South Seas it must not be forgotten that quite a busy whale catching Industry is carried on by the Norwegians off the Scottish coast. And It is indeed singular that it should be left to foreigners with foreign ships, plant and labor to look after this profit making trade. The principal stations are in the Shetland Isles, and the whaling grounds lie from 40 to 70 miles off shore— very few whales are caught within thirty miles of land. The Hebridean grounds extend over a wider area, reaching to that lonely Island of St. Kildea, and over a hundred miles northeast of the Flannan Islands. St. Kildea Bay is used as a depot for the curing station in Harris, and whales are towed there and anchored in the bay. Tlie Value of Whnles Last year 651 whales were caught at the Scottish fishings. The value of the products obtained at the boiling houses was £63,431. How the division was made is interesting. Taking the respective quantities, they apportion as follows: Ooil, 2,601 tons; cattle food, 536 tons; bone meal, 198 tons; solid meat, 46 tons; spemiacetti, 11 tons. Of course tue whales usually caught off the coast of Scotland are of small size compared with the Antarctic levi- thans, but two were killed measuring respectively 77 feet and 76 feet. Only one representative of the sperm tribe was included in the "bag" and two of the humpback. Most of the great fish were Finners or Sei. There is a whaling station also in Iceland, and that Danish province sends a considerable quantity of oil to Scotland. Usually three or four small sailing craft are to be seen in the Firth of Forth ports, particularly Grangemouth, which has direct canal connection with Glasgow, and these oil carriers hail from Shetland and Iceland. It was computed by the chairman of the Scotch Oil Trades Association that last year Glasgow imported 120,000 barrels of whale oil, and he considered that the Antarctic and Arctic catch for that year would amount to half a million barrels. In the near future this total promises to be very greatly augmented—always providing that the whales do not depart to unknown waters. But as the. profits are large the risk is cheerfully faced, and there will always be a ready market for the produce of the sea hunt. Whalebone varies in price according to the stock in hand, but can always be kept in storage for a rising market. It can command usually £2,00 a ton, but a year or two ago parcels changed hands at £2,600. Oils likewise vary according to the quality, the cheapest being the dark oils and the dearest the pale. Antarctic sperm is 36s 6d a hundred weight, and pale oil ranges about 2 5s per hundred weight to 27s. Whale oil is valuable for soap making, and is in srequest by curriers. Other by-products realize goodly sums. o THE AGE OF STEEL Remarkable Increase in the Production and Use of This Form of Metal If the nineteenth century is looked back to as the true Iron Age, the present century will assuredly in turn be designated the Age of Steel. There was, of course, an Iron age known to the ancients. It was the period when the primitive people of the earth first used iron in fashioning their implements of war, the chase and household use. But the invention of the locomotive and tlie success of Stevenson's work on the Stockton & Darlington Railroad in England in 1825 gave the greatest impetus to iron mining and smelting. There were only eight-five small smelting furnaces in Great Britain in 1788, with a total capacity of 68,300 tons.

British furnaces smelted 10,216,745 tons of pig Iron in 1910, and the American production exceeded 26,- 000,000. In 1865 German produced 882,546 tons, Belgium 500,000 tons, Austria 300,000, Sweden 240,000 and Russia 275,000 tons. The world's production of pig iron in 1865 amounted to 9,099,666 tons. The world's production last year was about 65,000,000 tons. The next important event favoring the development of the world's iron resources, following Stephenson's great work was the patenting by Bessemer of a new method of de- carburizing and de-siliconizlng pig iron by forcing streams of air under high pressure through the molten metal in a pear-shaped converter, and by this means converting the iron into steel. The world's production of steel in 1856, when Besse- mer's first patent was granted in England, was under 200,000 tons per annum. In 1865 it was 419,380 tons, in 1871 it amounted to 1,000,- 000 tons, and to 6,010,684 tons last year. Other large steel producers In 1910 were France 3,202,488 tons, German 13,482,199 tons and the United States 26,094,919 tons.

MAYORALTY CANDIDATE Alderman Newton announces iris candidature for tire office of mayor at the next municipal election. He announces himself on the ground that he is lo oppose "ring rule," which is but a way ot announcing that lrc regards himself as the only honest man in the public life of the city. Alderman Newton takes objection to the expressed desire on the part of the Journal that a mayor should be elected who would work in harmony with a representative council. We still contend that that is what is required, but we do not wonder that Alderman Newton objects to it for judging by his record there is not a council that could be selected that would work in harmony with him. Alderman Newton says that such a declaration as the Journal makes is but a declaration that what is wanted is a mayor who will truckle to the ring influence, so that the anticipated large expenditures can be spent in the dark. It means no such a thing and no one who does not look upon all his fellow men as scoundrels could interpret the words in the sense he does. All is yellow to the jaundiced eye, but no rational citizen will believe for a moment that the electorate of Prince Rupert will deliberately select eight scoundrels to represent them in the council and then require to make choice at the same time of one self-constituted tribune who is so pure that he alone can safely be entrusted to protect the rights of the citizens. We still contend that what the city needs next year, as in the past, is a representative mayor and council that will fortget their own petty troubles and work in conjunction for the advancement of the city. A mayor is needed who is able to take the initiative in movements for the best interests of the place. No place can afford to elect a man who will not work with a representative council. Prince Rupert, which is in the very beginning of its history, of all places, cannot afford to have as its chief magistrate one of that sort. A GRAIN PORT The announcement that the Panama Canal is to be completed in 1913 instead of 1915 should be welcome news to Prince Rupert. The announcement was contained in a statement made by President Taft at Belllngham a tew days ago. It seems probable that the canal is to be completed just about the same time the G. T. P. is a through line to the Pacific. The impression prevails among those who leave studied transportation matters that the cutting tlrrough of the canal will have a most wonderful effect upon the shipping of the ports of Britisii Columbia provided trade is ollowed to be unduly directed toward United States Pacific ports. Willi ihe completion of a short cut between the Pacific and th.B Atlantic, there will be a revolution In trade routes. A great impetus will be given to Pacific Coast shipping and to tlie development of British Columbia ports; there will be a draw- lug of the grain of the prairies to Prince Rupert, Vancouver and New Westminster, and a closer commercial relationship with the markets of the Mother Country consequent upon the shortening by many thousands of mill's of the water route between British Columbia and the icon of the Empire. Prince Rupert witli the many advantages which it is lo possess In the handling of this trad-3 should receive greater benefits than any of the other ports. It has the easiest route for heavy traffic and theG.T.P. will be in a position lo provide the very best of dockage facilities here. P. A. O'Farrell, the western newspaper writer, who has given much study to west and British Columbia development, predicts that before many decades a billion bushels ot wheat will be raised in the northwest annually, hair of wliich will be exported; the greater part will go through Britisii Columbia ports to Europe Africa and the Orient. These ports are only 600 miles from the wheat tields or Alberta, be notes, while Montreal is over 2,000 miles. The Pacific ports are open all the year round and time and low grades will be factors in drawing the grain trade of the prairies westward. It is evident that from the days when tlie G. T. P. service to and from here to the east begins that Prince Rupert will become one or the great grain ports of the world. The president of the company lias this In view, as in a recent interview in Montreal he commented on the great future for the port of Prince Rupert in shipping grain via the Panama Canal route to Europe. He indicated that his railway company anticipated shipping 100 000,000 bushels of wheat annual,y from this Britisii Columbia port, and at the same cost and almost in tlie same time as it lakes to carry It by way of the Great Lakes and the Atlantic ports. Tlr is port is one of the main doorways of the Pacific. With the populating of the great interior of tlie Dominion, the prairie sections' trade will develop this way and transportation and manufacturing will be built up In Prince Rupert. To anyone who studies the situation as it exists there is no marvel in the fact that values in Prince Rupert real estate keep firm or even show an upward tendency. Within tlie next few years there will be such advances In real estate values here that those who failed to take advantage of the situation as it now exists will wonder at their shortsightedness. .*..;.<.»>.>.•. »j. **** * ************** * * * News of the Province % * J ************************** EXTORTING MONEY VICTORIA — Frederick Bullock, the informer in the navy case, was sentenced to six months' irr:.:>ri"eminent by Judge Lampman in the country court when found guilty of the charge of attempting to extort money from C. J. V. Spratt by threatening to bring criminal prosecution. Mr. Pooley, K. C, his counsel, gave notice that he intended to make an appeal to the supreme court. LARGE DEAL NEW WESTMINSTER—A real estate deal involving a sum not much short of a million, paid for a quarter section near Port Mann, is reported from Vancouver. The acreage in question is that locally known as the old Jock Smith ranch, and corners on Port Mann townsite, its legal description being quarter Section 22, Block 5, North Range 2 West. Some little time ago this property was bought by a Vancouver syndicate at the price of $700 per acre, and the syndicate has now sold it for just double that figure, the total price being $224,000. Messrs. .Marriott & Fellows of Vancouver were agents in the sale. NELSON SCHOOLS NELSON—An amicable settlement of the long pending difficulties between the city council of Nelson and the school board of that city, which difficulties (over the old subject of contentions between councils and school boards—the financial demands of the latter) produced a long- lasting deadlock which even appeal to the courts of law i'ailed to break, has been arrived at. As the situation approached a crisis in the threatened closing of the schools, owing to the exhaustion of civic appropriations, tlie contending parties got together and upon the board cutting iils appropriation $500 or thereabouts, a truce was reached, follow- ed by the fortunate termination of hostilities. SURVEYING HOARD VICTORIA—Letters just received fr c. Hoard, C.E., of this city, state that good progress Is being made by ills party of explorers retained by Sir Donald Mann and associates to make an exhaustive examination of the country and resources between the Bear* River Valley I above Stewart) and tlie Peace River, in connection with the possible extension of the Canadian Northeastern Railway, formerly known as the Portland Canal Shori Line. Mr. Hoard's party will be In the Held as long as the weather permits and will Intercept another party working west rrom the Rocky Mountains, and which latterly has made its base at Fort Connolly, approximately one hundred and fifty miles inland from Stewart. The data secured will be used as the basis of a report to be presented to Premier McBride and his colleagues in advance of the next session of the legislature, in connection with an application by Sir Donald Mann and his colleagues for provincial assistance for the extended road as a colonization factor, ihe aid sought rrom tlie provincial government will be in the nature or a bond guarantee. SPORTS Tlie deciding series ot matches Tor the championship of the world in the baseball' field is now being played between the New York Giants and the Philadelphia Athletics. The first game on Saturday resulted in a victory for the Giants by a score of 2 to 1. The second score was a reversal by 3 to 1. The Philadelphia Americans and New York Nationals have entered upon the series of seven matches to decide the baseball supremacy of the world. At present indications point to the greatest diamond battles— both from the point of attendance and competition—on record. Record breaking turnouts can be looked forward to in the contents, which will alternate between New York and Philadelphia. Baseball fans the country over are prognosticating the outcome of the great series. Working on the time- proven theory that baseball cannot be "doped," a winner cannot be picked with any great degree of confidence, but the records of the two teams in their respective fights give some lines on their relative abilities. The Athletics loom up strong at bat, while the Giants' greatest strength lies in their base-stealing proclivities, writes P. A. Turner in the San Francisco Chronicle. Wise Connie Mack sums up the situation, however, in the statement that the fight will be between the pitchers and not between base runners. A player has to face the pitcher to get on the bases, and if the opposition hurlsmen allow but few hits there will be but few opportunities offered on the bases. In the pitching department the Giants appear to have the edge on the Athletics. Mathewson and his southpaw teammate, Marquard, are rated higher than Bender and Coombs, but the Athletics even up that score on their superior hitting ability. Behind the plate, which has an important bearing on the defensive of both teams, Meyers, the Indian, and Ira Thomas will match wits. The Athletic catchers were supposed to be weak when the big battle was started last fall, but when it was all over Thomas had carried away the hero wreaths by his wonderful back- stopping behind the log. Thomas is a quick thinker, with a wonderful arm, and Meyers has developed to such a degree this season that Mc- Graw claims he is the greatest catcher in the country today. In Lapp and Livingston, Connie Mack has a couple of worthy sub-catchers, and ...cGraw has a useful youngster in Wilson. Around first base Stuffy Mclnnes, the sensational youngster who replaced George Davis, will be pitted against Fred Merkle, the young man who has had a hard time living down tne bonehead play be pulled in the decisive game against the Chicago Cubs several seasons ago, when he failed to touch second and lost the Giants a pennant. Both Mclnnes and Merkle are young players, who cover a world of ground, and it is about a toss-up in choice, with Merkle being favored. At the second base Eddie Collins outshines Larry Doyle, the captain of the Giants. Doyle is a slashing, aggressive player, a reckless base- runner who has led the Giants in their whirlwind attacks all season. Compared to the brilliant Collins, both at bat, and in the field, Doyle hardly figures. In tbe short field McGraw will rely on a youngster, Fletcher, against Baker. Fletcher has done wonders tor a young fellow, but be is up against one of the greatest shortstops the game has ever seen, according to reports of the critics. At third base the slugging Balier is found against Herzog, but as an all-round man at the difficult corner the baseball writers of the east give tlie palm to Herzog. It Is hard to select the best out- rie-lrl or lire two. The Athletics and Giants both have good ground cov- erers with plenty o! speed, but Old- ring, Lord and Mhurphy show up as the best hitters. Snodgrass, Murray and Devore are raster on the bases, and the advantage seems to be evened up. Who do you think will win—the team with the best pitchers and base runners, or the team with the best hitters and fields? Stop to consider, too, the two managers—Mugsy McGraw of the Giants, and Connie Mack of the Athletics. One is the student, studying out plays, while the other—McGraw—is the aggressive, fighting leader out on the lines battling for advantage. Think it over. o On the Scotch Express A man entered a sleep carriage at London. "Look here, guard," said lie, "I want to get out at Rugby. Now, mind you, call me. I may be a bit sleepy, but don't you mind what I say or do. If I dou't feel inclined just get hold of me and throw me out, and here's half-a-crown for you. "All right, sir," said the guard. "Thank you." The train steamed into Edinburgh about 6 o'clock in the morning. A man emerged from the berth and alighted on the platform. Guard where are we?" asked the man. "Edinburgh, sir." "Edinbugh!" shrieked the man, in a towering passion. Ithought I told you to call me at Rugby?" At this tlie guard looked up inquiringly. "Are you the gentleman that gave me the half-crown?" "Yes, I am," answered the man rircely. The guard was sorely puzzled. "Now, I wonder who the gentleman was I threw out of the train at Rugby?" were the only words he could utter. A young recruit was set on sentry- go, and was, of course, new to the business. A good natuved comrade brought him a sandwich, and the recruit was about to consume iti when the major appeared. As the officer was in mufti, the sentry did not recognize him, and did not salute. The major took in the situation and asked: "What's that?" "A sandwich," replied the recruit. "Have a bit?" "Do you know who I am?" asked the major. "Don't know you from Adam; perhaps you're the major's coachy?" "No, I am not." "His groom, perhaps?" "No. Try again." "Perhaps the old chap himself." "Right this time," said the major. "Oh, goodness!" exclaimed the frightened sentry. "Hold this sandwich while I present arms!" efl. »;*♦;« * * »;*.;..;«»;..;..;.»;.»>.;.»;.»;.»;< ********** * !

PRINCE RUPERT JOURNAL MASSET'S PROGRESS Queen Charlotte Island Points is Making Steady Progress as a Producing Centre. Items of News From the Northern Centre of Graham island (Special Correspondence) Masset, Oct. 14.—Inspector A. M. Tyson, accompanied by Dominion Officer Phillipson, visited the Queen Charlotte Indian agency, wliich is a portion of Mr. Tyson's inspectorate, and held a consultation with the Indians. Affairs connected with the agency were taken up and dealt with and a visit was paid to the reserves on the supper end of Masset Inlet. Accompanied by Indian Agent Thomas Oeasy, the Inspector will visit Skidegate reserve and all of the Hydah locations in the agency. Coal Operations The work of placing machinery at one end of the coal mines, on the Yakoun River, which has been in progress for some months past, has been accomplished. Another party is engaged in constructing a road, from tide water to the mines. Form Association An association, known as The Progressive Conservative Association .of Queen Charlotte Islands, has been organized. Temporary officers have been elected and a platform of the association formulated. The association was organized in Masset. Want a Wharf A petition Is in corculation at Mas- set requesting the Dominion government to constructa a wharf on the inlet at the foot of Main Street. A new wharf is urgently needed in that locality to replace the structure which was constructed some years ago by private parties and which is falling to pieces. Violated Act Three Indians were fined recently for indulging in intoxicants on the Masset reserve. In the Hospital Captain Daniel Stanley, who met with an accident, some years ago, will undergo an operation at the ' Pr'ilice Rupert General Hospital. "Captain Dan" is one of the most popular of the Masset band, and his return to health is anxiously looked for by those who have always found him working for the interests of -.asset and his fellow tribesmen. Lnimeli Building A number of gasoline launches will be constructed at Masset during the approaching winter. Henry Edenshaw will build a freight and passenger boat. Andrew Brown is making a large schooner, in which he will install a powerful gasoline engine; Harry Weah is contemplating constructing a vessel, and Robert Bennett has plans under way for a launch. Opposed to Chinese A worshipper of Confucius arrived arrived on the .Masset Indian reserve on the last steamer, intending to open a restaurant and bake shop. When the Trespas Act was read to him the Chinaman decided to locate in some warmer climate. He moved moved to New Masset, and the "chilly" reception accorded him there accelerated bis desire to seek pastures new. Game Needed Two hotels, and several private houses, were the recipients recently of a goodly supply of venison. It was obtained in a round-about manner; but wns relished nevertheless. The deer were shot on Porcher Island ; the carcasses found In ready sale In Prince Rupert, and were shipper to Graham Island by W. Shrub- sail. In a few years tbe residents of Queen Charlotte Islands will be enjoying the delicacies of the season from the herd of deer now roaming over the land.. A few pheasants, mountain sheep and goats would be a welcome addition to the wild game of the islands. Signs of Progress James Martin of Masset is calling for tenders for the construction of a "pontoon bridge" across Delkatla Bay. Residences are springing up on both sides of the waterway and a party of surveyors are at work on the Francis property, which will be sold in town lots. Mr. Francis disposed of his property for a large sum and is now paying a visit to his old home in the east. Delivered Cattle "Mexican Tom" has been sojourning at the home of F. C. Tingley, after driving to Kumdis Inlet a band of cattle for the residents there. The two oldest settlers are spending the long evenings discussing the ramifications of "reciprocity." Want Wireless Wireless communication is urgently needed on the north end of Graham Island. The steamer service will be bi-monthly, after the commencement of November, and the residents of Masset Inlet will be isolated, with the exception of one steamer, arriving twice in each month. o ' EXAMINER TIMRER Victoria Representative of Capital Has Been Inspecting the Wooded Area of Skeena Valley J. H. Reynolds of Victoria, after spending the past two weeks In this part of the country examining into the timber of the Skeena Valley, relumed south yesterday. He will report to his associates on what he has seen and upon his report may depend the erection of a pulp mill in this vicinity. Mr. Reynolds has been associated with John Arbuthnot and J. M. Savage of Victoria In various enterprises, among them being the South Wellington coal mines. He returned on Sunday from a trip to the end of the steel. He inspected the timber along the route and gained a very complete knowledge of the resources along this particular line. Mr. Reynolds thinks that the Kitsumkalum and Lakelse Valleys will give good accounts of themselves within a short time as producers of farm products. The land appealed to him on account of its productiveness and he looks forward to a good showing. o ON GRANBY BOARD A. C. Flumerfclt Has Aguin Taken Position With Smelter and Mining Company A. C. Flumerfelt of Victoria has been elected a member of the board of directors of the Granby Consolidated Mining and Smelting Company of Grand Forks and Phoenix. He will once more be in touch with its affairs, in which he formerly took a prominent part. For several years he filled the important position of assistant to the president, an office then filled by the late S. H. C. Miner of Granby, Que., and resided at Grand Forks. When Mr. Miner withdrew from office, Mr. Flumerfelt also resigned. Although Mr. Miner was credited with having sold most of his stock in the big company it developed after his death that be was the second largest shareholder. Mr. Flumerfelt is the executor of the estate of the deceased millionaire. He goes on the board at the urgent request of Jay P. Graves of Spokane, president, who desired his counsel and co-operation owing to the intention of the Granby company to extend its field of operations to Northern British Columbia. Mr. Flumerfelt is well qualified for the position. He is also a director of the Eastern Townships rJank, as well as many other large corporations and industrial companies. o Telephone ut Stewart Excellent progress has been made during the fine weather of the past week in stringing the wires for the telephone service and it will be but a short time before the system is in operation, says the Portland Canal Miner. The switchboard, cable and instruments have arrived, and as soon as the outside work is finished tne same will be installed in tlie office of the Stewart Drug Co. W. R. Smith, the company's engineer, announces that there will be forty phones at the start and connections will be made by long distance, as far up the valley as the Red Cliff mine. 1836 1911 The Bank of British North America A Strong British Bank, with Connection* Throughout the World.

A PRETTY WEDDING Popular Young People of the City are United in Marriage on Saturday Evening. Mr. J. 0. Halsey and Miss Kergin Wedded at Home of Bride's Brother, Dr. Kergin / One of the prettiest weddings of the season was solemnized on Saturday evening at the home of Dr. W. T. Kergin on Second Avenue, when two of the most popular young people of Prince Rupert were joined in matrimony. The wedding was that of Mr. James Charles Ilasley and Miss Hester May Kergin. Only the Immediate friends of the bride and groom were present to do honor to the occasion. Very pretty effects had been produced by the hostess, Mrs. W. 13. Kergin, in the floral arrangements of the rooms. The ceremony was performed in the drawing room under a floral bell surrounding the electric lights, Rev. Charles R. Sing, pastor of the Methodist Church officiating. The bride, -who was attired in) white satin and chiffon with silver bead lace and wearing a bridal veil, entered on the arm of her brother, Dr. Kergin. She wore a bar of pearls and diamonds, the gift of the groom, and carried a bouquet of white roses. She was attended by Miss Lucy Mc- McMaster, her bridesmaid, who wore a gown of cream silk and lace. She wore a pearl pendant, the gift of the groom, and carried a bouquet of pink roses. Mr. Halsey was supported by Mr. James H. Thompson. Little Fred Kergin, a nephew of the bride, acted as the ring bearer. The wedding marcli was played by Mrs. Sing. Mrs. Kergin, mother of the bride, was attired in black silk, trimmed with Duchess lace, while Mrs. W. T. Kergin, the hostess, wore a most becoming gown of plain colored satin, trimmed with black velvet. After the wedding, refreshments were served, followed by the cutting of the wedding cake. A short toast list was carried through, when speeches were made through all of which ran warm expressions of good will towards Mr. and Mrs. Halsey Mrs. William Manson and Mrs. G. R. Naden poured tea, while Miss Macdonald, Miss Mercer, Miss Keely and Aliss Lockart assisted in waiting. The attendants wore pearl pins, the gift of the bride. Mr. and Mrs. Halsey have gone south on a trip, the bride's going- away dress being of dark green, with hat to match. They will return about the beginning of the month and take up their residence on Fifth Street in the house to be vacated by Mr. and Mrs. W. S. Benson. ARE REORGANIZING Western Steel Corporation May Eliminate James A. Moore Directors of the Western Steel Corporation, against which several small suits and a petition asking tire appointment of a receiver are pending in the superior court, held a conference at Seattle and decided to renew their efforts to bring about a reorganization of the company. Word has been received from a trust company in New York that if a satisfactory reorganization is effected it will furnish financial support to the steel corporation. It is understood that the plan of reorganization contemplates the elimination from control of James A. .Moore, promoter and president of the corporation. Further conferences will be held by the directors. o * * * * * * * V V V V V V V V V V •»' V ** V V V V V V I MARINE NEWS | •I" *** *** *•* *!* •J* -*»* *♦* *** •*•* •***- ***• -i* "I* *»*■ •■** *•*■ *** •*•♦ **'- 'I* *** ■"•*■ -*■*• **- "I* WINTER SERVICE At the end of this month it is expected the G. j. P. Steamship Company will begin its winter service between this port and the soutli. One of the big coast liners will be laid off to undergo its annual overhaul. The other vessel will stay on the run, giving a weekly service. It has not yet been decided which one of the big coasters will be the first to lie up. Immediately one Is withdrawn work will commence aboard the vessel in equipping her with oil burners. Captain Nicholson has just returned to Vancouver from a trip to Snn Francisco, wliere he arranged for the purchasing of oil to supply the two Prince steamers. Oil tanks are to be erected In Vancouver and the vessels will lake on their fuel there while the freight is being loaded and unloaded. In ITBSJ8I Double Weekly Service S.S. PRINCE RUPERT & S.S.

Wharf. the past the vessels have always put into Nanaimo on their southbound trips and spent four or five hours filling their bunkers. This delay will be eliminated with the oil fuel and the vessels will make faster time. When one of the steamers has been equipped with the burners and undergone her annual overhaul, she will relieve the other vessel on the run, which will then have the oil apparatus installed. With this method of generating steamer it is expected that the Prince steamers will increase their speed a little, making slightly over nineteen knots. Minor alterations are to be made to the big steamers and they will be placed in the best possible shape for the spring season next year. It does not seem to have been decided yet as to whether the smaller ships of the fleet will be equipped with oil burners. It is believed, however, that the Prince Albert, operating in the service to Northern British Columbia ports, will in the near future use oil as fuel instead of coal. WHALING IN NORTH With a hardy crew of whalers who have just completed a very profitable season along the Southeastern and Southwestern Alaska coasts, the steam whaling vessel Fearless of the Tyee Whaling Company has arrived in Seattle. The season is practically over and one by one the vessels are being laid up for the winter. The Tyee and Resolute have arrived from the north and the barge Diamondhead, which has been with the fleet, will soon be sent to San Francisco. Over 400 whales were captured during the season and their carcasses taken to Tyee, Alsaka, where the bone and the oil is extracted and the rest of the carcasses converted into fertilizer. The biggest whale of the season was captured by the crew of the Fearless and measured eighty-six feet in length. She gave the crew a fierce battle before being landed. Three species of whale were captured by the Tyee company, the sulphur- bottom, the humpback and the finback. EGERIA A TRAINING SHIP Tlie Egeria is going to Vancouver The Navy League was the highest dders at the auction at $6,800 and as soon as arrangements can be made there will be stationed in Bur- rard Inlet the largest training ship •n the entire British Navy League, says the News-Advertiser on the subject of the sale, which was announced in the Journal at the time of the sale. The News-Advertiser continues: In addition to the vessel itself the Navy League has purchased the two whalers and Hie steam cutter; all of the suits rrl' sails (costing $300) compass, instruments and a ouplo or old Gardner machine gnus. Tlie vessel and equipment were snid In S. Goldberg, who acted em behalf of the Navy League branch, Besides the representative of the league a number of ship breakers weir, present at tho auction from this city and Seattle so that bidding was brisk for about fifteen mi mites. While in Victoria and after the auction, Mr. Kay Interviewed Premier McBride on behalf of his organization, and obtained the promise of a grant of $2,000 from the provincial treasury. If it should be found that the Navy League shall lie able to maintain the Egeria for the purpose for which she has been bought. The vessel will be at once manned and steamed to Vancouver, where she will be anchored In Burrard Inlet and a commander appointed to instruct the youth of this city iir all the ways that pertain to good seamanship.

Prince Rupert subscribe to a fund for the purchase of tire vessel Mr. Kay has devoted a great deal of his time on behalf of the Navy League. Over $.1,000 has been obtained by public subscription when tire admiralty solicited tenders for the vessel, and something less than this amount was tendered by the local branch. When the admir- ilty decided not to sell by lender but rather by auction, Secretary Kay, secured the postponement of the sale till arrangements could be made for bidding by the local branch. His efforts were furthered last month by a $.1,000 subscription from Lord Strathcona, who Indicated his entire approval of the object in view, ii was this last subscription which enabled the league |o purchase the Egeria.

T. P. is Anxious to Complete the Line Without Loss of Time. Foley, Welch & Stewart Will Soon Award tire Sub-Contracts in Uncompleted Gap It looks as though the G. T. P. was soiiiK to spare no pains to have the line completed at tire very earliest date. .1. W. Stewart, managing director of Foley, Welelr & Stewart, the contracting firm, and B. B, Kelliher, chief engineer ol' the railway, arc now making a trip from Yellowhead Pass to Prince Rupert. They arc looking over tlie uncompleted gaps between Tete Jaune Cache and Aldermere ior the purpose ot arranging for BUb-contracts. It is likely that sub-contracts covering the uncompleted gap of 4 in miles will be awarded shortly after Air. Stewart reaches the Coast. Last week the adjourned annual meeting or the shareholders of the G. T. P. was held in Montreal, with Charles Al. Hays, president, in the chair. The president stated that during the year track laying on the main line ot the western division had been extended trom Wolf Creek to Fitzhugh, west of the Athabasca River in the Rocky Mountains, which will be the divisional point for that section, and that construction work is under full headway, with night and day forces, to Tete Jaune Cache, on the Fraser River, beyond the Yellowhead Pass, on the western slope of the Rocky Mountains. It is expected that track laying will reach this point, which is 1,094 miles west of Winnipeg, before the close of the year. "For the purpose of establishing suitable hotel accommodation throughout the country which will be traversed by your company's lines," continued the president, "it is proposed to construct a chain of first class modern hotels, and with this object in view a contract has been let for the construction of a large hotel in Winnipeg at a cost of $1,300,000. Good progress has been made on construction work on the Ontario division, and the present condition of that work shows a total of 1.22345 miles of main line track and 136.50 miles of sidetrack laid, and the remaining portions of the section are all under contract. With the construction, therefore, at approximately 5,155 miles, undertaken in tlie first instance, there has been laid at the present time practically 3,300 miles oi main line track." Hugh A. A'lan, who was a member ot the first board of directors, having taken up his residence abroad, is unable to continue as an active member of the board. The names of the following directors are proposed for re-election: Alfred W. Smithers, Sir Henry Mather Jackson George Van Chauvln, Col. Frederick Fire- brace, Charles AI. Hays, E. J. Chamberlin, W.

CLARKE'S REHAMOR criminals—a man who can take advantage of his friend to forge his name." Mr. Justice .Murphy charged strongly for the accused. He said that the evidence showed that ui) to the time ot the trouble at any rate the prisoner was a man ot very high character and had occupied what were in bis station of life prominent positions. It was not for him to declare whal lie thought of Clarkes' bearing in the box, but be must draw attention of the jury to the tact that he had answered unswervingly the questions of both counsel. Then there was another point that must be considered, and that was that alter Clarke was aware that he was being shadowed by detectives he had made no attempt to get away, but had remained in Prince Rupert doing his daily work as usual, and had allowed the law to take its course. The jury, armed with high power glasses to compare the handwriting exhibited, were out about twenty minutes. o LOST IN A GALE Garden ol Prince Ruperl—Future oil Supply—Fisheries Unequalled— Timber Unexcelled Launch Capsized off Graham Island With James Carter and Joe Tasarat on Board. Former Loses His Life—Latter Managed to Reach Shore—Were Thrown Into the Water As a result oi the terrific storm which raged along the coast last week James Carter, a hair-breed who made his headquarters at Alasset, lost his lite by drowning. Particulars were received by the local wireless station trom Dead Tree Point on Saturday atternoon. Carter was off the east coast of Graham Island in the vicinity of Tel-el River when the launch in which he and a companion, Joe Tasarat, were turned over. Tasarat drifted ashore but Carter was drowned. He was about 26 years of age and formerly lived at Victoria. The launch was owned by Ed Stevens of Skidegate. Carter was accustomed to handling it. On Alonday he started out with Joe Tasarat, a well known French settler at Lawn Hill, and Frank Settler. The latter was landed at Lawn Hill, after which a gale sprang up. Carter and Lasarat then made in the direction of Tel-el River. The tide was out when they reached there, however and it was impossible to make a landing. Hoping to return to Skidegate, a start was made, but the gear broke and it became necessary to cast anchor and await a change In the weather. At Wednesday noon, however, the mooring parted and the boat, left at the mercy of the waves, turned turtle. Lasarat reached shore safely, but Carter was drowned. He Impressed the Court with His Straightforwardness and Candor Frederick V. Clarke, who was honorably acquitted by the assize jury in Vancouver of the charge of forgery in connection with a post olfice money order sent to C. S. Wormwald rrom Newcastle-on-Tyne, has returned to the city. The News-Advertiser says'. Clarke answered both the questions ot his counsel, Mr. s. s. Taylor, K. C, and or the crown prosecutor with apparent candor and truthfulness, and his demeanor In the box was the subject of favorable comment from the bench. The crown put in the evidence of two experts earlier in tlie day In an endeavor to prove that the handwriting of the accused was the same as that of the man who forged the signature to Hie money order receipts. Mr. Taylor hotly cross-examined these witnesses and showed how easy It was to detect similarities in the writing of any two individuals. Mr. Taylor made an earnest plea on behalf of Clarke, referring to his fine character as testified to even by the witnesses for the crown. He had been associated prominently with well known societies in Prince Rupert, and had always conducted himself with credit. "If you think this man is guilty, you will have to believe him 'one ot the lowest and meanest of human PURCHASING AGENT Duties of City Official Come Up lor Discussion at Council Meeting Aid.

He had thought they were to be placed by the purchasing agent, the city clerk, but that official had informed them that he did not place them all. He wanted to know who did place these orders. Aid.

Atter considerable discussion, Aid. Hilditch explained that in his department all the accounts were vouched for by the engineer and by himseir as chairman and were all criticised by the purchasing agent to see that the prices were all right and that they were properly ordered. . ,—o Rev.

QUEEN CHARLOTTES Resident's Opinion of the Resources of This Part of the Province Which is Tributary to City, "It the opinion of a man who has travelled over British Columbia, rrom the last known island in the north to Kootenay, is ot any benefit to prospective speculators and settlers, I would say that the Queen Charlotte group of islands offer opportunities that cannot be found in any other part of North America." Those words were expressed by Indian Agent Thomas Deasy, who has resided in this province for over fifty years, and is acquainted with the resources as few other men can acknowledge. "I have nothing to sell there, just now," stated the agent, "because any little interest \ have is In future development work. When I found something that would be of benefit, it was not taken to the large, outside cities; but the people who had the stamina to do what I have done, 'pioneer work," were asked to cooperate in any advantages that may accrue from the potentialities of the country. The pity of it was that all of the people who first considered it wise to endeavor to make a home in this new country could not enjoy a share in the prospective benefits to be derived. There are many opportunities tor them, even now; but the opening ot a transcontiujntal railway, and the intlux or strangers, will lessen the chances that are now at hand. One does need to talK like a millionaire to interest people in a country that has possibilities com- partively unknown. He may work for wages, and still have no other object in advertising than to benefit his fellow man, as well as himself." "You ask about Queen Charlotte Islands; well, I have been over a great portion of the largest island of the group, and must say that there will be many surprises for those who now are seeking investments and homes. You must have a recreation ground and a garden for your future large city. It lies within eighty miles of your door. Inlets and rivers; sandy beaches and wild flowers; boating and fishing; camping grounds and wild rruit. For example: Do you know of any other place where a person can purchase a half- gallon of large, luscious, wild strawberries for fifty cents? Then the climate is altogether different from that of other sections of the province. We have little snow, or cold weather. Cattle feed outside all the year round and the summer months are warm and the days so long that there are but five hours or darkness. It is not yet a farming or a dairy country—the islands must be cleared before the farmer can do a great deal; but for 'garden truck,' there is no better place anywhere. Small truits, also, flourish. Even in the sand, along the beaches, strawberries are found in abundance. For camping, and summer outings, the inlets and streams are ideal. We have no wild animals or snakes, and a camp can be made almost anywhere. The ducks and geese are plentiful ror the sportsman, and the trout fishing is or the best." "About the oil deposits? Well, I do not desire to be one who starts a 'boom,' or any other means ot causing a fiitiire loss to the people who speculate. I have made two visits to the west coast ot Graham Island, and went along the shores, and Inland. In my opinion, there Is oil, ol the best quality, on the west coast or Graham Island. Have I seen It? Yes, and no. In the first place, the best or oil is thousands or foet below the surface, and It requires a drilling plant to reach It. 1 have seen one in operation, at Tiahn Point. The owners have expended over $15,000 In the purchase ol a plant and installing same. They commenced In the 'shale,' which covers an oil bed; aiter working through that they are now in limestone capping, which may be trom one to two thousand feet in thickness. I have seen the samples, taken from their borings, and they nave oil; hut it is quantity they want, and they must go down for it. Along the shores 1 have found tar and asphaltum, sticking out of the crevices in the rocks and everything that indicates tbe presence of vast oil beds. I am not an expert; but one went with me who is now interested In the Utah oil fields. He was amazed at the showings. All of the experts who visited the west coast state that it is an oil field. What more can a person say than that, until those who are now operating fail, or succeed in reaching oil? Samples, sent by us to the state nilnerologist of California, have been examined and pronounced the best of indications. You will understand, it' oil seeped from the ground, it would be of little value running into the sea. If the oil Is 'in place' there will be vast lakes of It, or sounds impregnated with It that will repay all interested a million times over. I have seen the plant, the well, the samples, and have gone over the 'prospects' with those who have their all in the field —men who understand, better than I ever will, the undertaking in which they have expended time and money. I do not ask any man to take my work for anything. Those who know me understand that I am not booming 'wildcats,' and would not ask any man to to invest for any personal benefit if I knew that they would lose. The ground is there, for people to see for themselves, as I did, and the future development is for those who have faith In a proposition of the kind—like those who are now developing. "When one talks of fish, it would take a Philadelphia lawyer to tell you oi the fisheries orr the Queen Charlotte Islands. We have seen the whaling steamers cruising, and the 'shooting' ot the mamniels; on the same day the Indians caught in the adjacent water an average of ten spring salmon each, and the salmon weighed sixty pounds; close by were thousands of sea-gulls, feating on the herring; a few miles distant the halibut banks are located, where the supply is unlimited. Strange to relate, there is not one fish curing establishment on the north side of Graham Island. o The police commissioners have suspended Police Officer McArthur, pending the arrival of Chief Vickers. The officer, it is understood, will ask for an investigation when the chief returns.

No putty is needed in such joints. They are air tight when new and stay air tight. If these other ranges were built in this way they might be economical too.
