Gillinglinin Laments tlie Waste of Fodder Through Absence of Stock C Gillingham, road engineer for the Queen Charlotte Islands, is in the city for a few days. He reports that the islands look forwaro to a very busy season. Already there are abundant evidences of the coming activity. The spring is opening up with a steady influx of people, and various enterprises are preparing for active operations. The day he left Rose Harbor in the south, eight whales had been taken and the whaling company are sure to find the southern station one of the best on the coast. The station at Naden Harbor is likewise expected to be important, the Queen Charlotte stations being probably the best in the chain established in the Pacific coast. The mining interests are active early and there promises to be an excellent season's work done in the mines. The Morgan group near Lockport, will spend $5,000 at once, it is announced, in preparatory development work at the properties. Other mining ventures are spending similar amounts or larger sums in testing what the claims are like, so that there is promise of a very active mining season. An early start is being made on the roads. Mr. Gilllngham is enthusiastic over the islands as a farming centre and says there is a luxuriant growth of grass already on vast areas. This is going to waste for want of cattle to put upon it. TO PROTECT GAME Regulations Put Into Effect by the Government in This Respect Elk anil Mountain Sheep to Continue Off List of Animals to Be Shot A close season has been declared by the Lieutenant-Governor in Council, for mountain sheep and for wapiti or elk. There can be no elk shot for a year on the mainland of the province. The close season for mountain sheep is confined to Yale, Simulkalum and Okanagan districts, and covers two years' time. The animals have been protected for some time as specified. The season is to be continued in the interests of the game. The proclamation made by the provincial secretary with respect to this reads as follows: "On the recommendation of the Honourable the Attorney-General, and under the provisions of the said Act, His Honour, the Lieutenant- Governor in Conucil, doth declare as follows: "That there shall be a close season for a period of two years for mountain sheep In the Yale, Simil- kameen and Okanagan electoral districts. "And it is further declared that there shall be a close season for a period of one year for wapiti or elk throughout the mainland of the province. Another proclamation in the Interests of game preservation Is the bringing into effect of the statute against the use of automatic shotguns. The statute was passed in 1909, but is only now daclared In force. The section reads as follows: "It shall be unlawful for any person to use an automatic shotgun in the pursuit of game in this province. The penalty for offending against the provisions of this section shall be not less than fifty dollars or more than two hundred and fifty dollars for each offence. This section shall not come into force until proclaimed by the Lieutenant- Governor In Conucil." The Lieutenant-Governor In Council has been pleased to declare, by an order In council, the first day of September, one thousand nine hundred and eleven, as the day on which the section shall come into force. WATER SUPPLY FOR PRACTICALLY ALL TIME Engineer Thomson of Seattle Says There is Water Enough at Shawatlans to Serve the City of Prince Rupert Until it has a Million of Population-Consulting Expert Will Likely Touch Upon the Power Side of the Proposition Also in the Report he will Present to the Council. As a result of his investigations so far, Mr. Thomson, Seattle's chief engineer, is very favorably impressed with Prince Rupert and her prospective water supply. He came here to report on the water supply but so enthusiastic has he become in studying the engineering questions that present themselves here that it would appear to be difficult supply for him to decide where he will stop. He seems prone to turn in and assist the city and Colonel Davis at every turn in the propositions. In an interview with The Journal he admitted yesterday that the questions the city has to face are stupendous but he is pleased -to see the citizens facing them in the way they are. As to the water supply, he pointed ou that basing the consumption for domestic purposes on the ratio used by St. Paul, which was higher than many cities, there was available enough water for a population' of one million people here. This, he pointed out meant that when the supply was tapped the water question was solved for practically all time for the city. When Prince Rupert's population went beyond the million mark he felt it would be easy to get additional water supplies. Of the water he speaks in the highest terms. It is pure and can be kept free from all contamination if no settlement is allowed about the lakes. In the city of $eattle which boasts of its water supply, he points out that now, with a population of a quarter of a million it has been found necessary to add to the water. To show how advantageously situated Prince Rupert is, Mr. Thomson points out that he is figuring upon a reservoir site for Seattle that will be quite as far from the city as the source of supply is here. It is reported that Mr. Thomson is likely to make a report upon the power question as it is affected by the Woodworth Lake proposition. He is reported to be very favorably impressed with this aspect and it is expected will be able to promisg a very considerable power plant at quite a small cost to the city. If so, his engagement will be a double advantage to the city at this time when the subject of power is being brought up by the Tsimpsean company. Mr. Thomson, it is reported, believes he can give the city a very cheap power supply without interfering with the water. In speaking of the muskeg here, Mr. Thomson points out that with the cutting through of streets, sewers, etc., the muskeg will become dry and become in reality peat. The citizens will have to take precautions to guard against fire getting started in it, then. Mr. Thomson will probably leave in a few days for SeattJe, taking the data he has and send his report back at an early date. TO OPEN UP NORTH Experts Will Look Into Possibilities of the Skeena and Naas Valleys. Will .Test the Growing of .Sugar Beets in These Sections of the Province The visit that the expert agriculturists and horticulturists are to make to the Skeena River Valley in a few days should be attended with excel'ent results as far as getting exact information as to the possibilities of the district along the lines indicated. The experts, E. A. Will, who comes from Ontario, and E. W. White, a Britisii Columbian, will be here next week, it is expected, to enter upon a thorough examination of the lands of the north. E. A. Wier is an expert agriculturist and horticulturists from Ontario, and E. W. White, a son of Rev. Silva White of New Westminster. They have been specially commissioned by the provincial department of agriculture to proceed to northern Britisii Columbia, via the valleys of the Naas and Skeena rivers, and especially investigate the agricultural and horticultural. possibilities of that great region. They will thoroughly explore the entire coast and adjacent northern territory, travelling on horseback and by canoe, and making daily memoranda of the areas explored, the character of the soil, the maximum, average and lowest temperature, frost conditions, precipitation, extent and character of timber, approximate cost of clearing, etc., etc., mailing these memoranda, back to the department at Victoria at every opportunity, in the same manner that similar reports will be made in fin ture by all provincial surveys engaged in the field. Both Mr. Wier and Mr. White are spoken of as exceptionally capable men, with thorough, practical knowledge of agriculture and all Its related industries. They intend going in by way of Hazelton, to spend the entire season in the nortli country and to complete an agricultural survey of the whole of northern British Columbia in so far as possible. From the data which they will collect during the season a full and completely informative report will be made with respect to the producing capabilities of the several districts; at the same time, these two expert representatives of the department will hold conferences with the farmers and settlers at every opportunity, advising them as to what crops or fruits their lands are most suited for, and the methods to be adopted for the securing of the Ijest possible results. This specialized survey work constitutes a new feature and a most important one of the activities of the department of agriculture. Many quiries have, during recent months, been received from, and hundreds of new colonists are now going into (Continued on Page Five.) DEADLOCK REACHED ON RECIPROCITY DEBATE Both Sides to the Debate Declare That They Will Not Give Way But Will Fight to the Bitter End Without any Truce-Determined Contest Now Faces House of Commons. (Special to The Journal) OTTAWA, April 28.—The fight of the Conservative opposition against the reciprocity agreement took a new turn yesterday and as a result not. a speech on the subject was heard in parliament. The Conservatives blocked the government's attempt to bring up the question by forcing a discussion upon the charges made against a French member. With both the parties in a posi- -en from w'eich the leaders declare they will not retreat, a d?ad-lock has been established which may last for weeks. The announcement by R. L. Borden that his party would make no trguce, was followed by a caucus of the government supporters yesterday at which the determination was expressed to push the fight aggressively. BOAT NUMBERING New Rules to be Enforced by the Provincial Government With Respect to Salmon Fisheries. Rules to Be Observed by Those Using Boats in the Fishing Grounds The provincial government has made regulations as to the number ing'of boats engaged in the salmon fisheries. The new rules are as follows: "1. All boats used in the taking of salmon, as provided under the provisions of the Salmon Fishery Regulations, shall bear numbers corresponding with those of the licence under which they are operated, and each boat shall have its number and the initials of its owner painted on both sides of the stern in white on a black ground, the COMMITTED FOR TRIAL (Special to The Journal) * VICTORIA,: April 28.—Cap- * tain A.

IN ACTIVE DEMAND Lots in Ellison and its Addition Meet With Steady Sale This Spring. Increased Interest in the Interior Is Shown by Active Sale of Lots J. H. Kugler, with the energy characteristic of him, is at the present time devoting a good deal of attention to the sale of town lots in Ellison and the Rogers' Addition. This site, which in the minds of those best informed, is sure to be an important point In the opening up of the rich Hazelton district. Situated right on the Skeena, it is easily reached b steamer and is also situated right on the line of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway. The Grand Trunk Pacific is jointly interested in the site, which is a guarantee that It is to be one of the distributing points in the interior. The promoters of the townsite are well satisfied that they have the stare of all others and will be rewarded by seeing a most active season there. The season will open up In the Hazelton district at once so that no time is to be wasted by those who want to take advantage of the boom days during construction. Tlie result of this anxiety is seen In the demand which is manifest at tne office of Mr. Kugler. "Is There a Personal Devil?" or "The Problem of Evil," will be the subject of Rev. W. H. McLeod's sermon at tlie Baptist Church, Sunday evening. Service commences at 7:30 p. in. Regular morning service at 11 a. m. Bible School and Brotherhood Baraca Bible Class at 2:30 p. m.

Prime Minister Encourages Idea of an Appeal Being Made to the Courts HOSPITAL BUSINESS A New Set of Bylaws Will be Framed to Meet Altered Needs of Institution. Secretary Cnthbert Has Resigned from Position—Fire Escapes Discussed (Special to The Journal) OTTAWA, April 28.—Sir Wilfrid Laurier, a few days ago, received a delegation representing "The Friends of the Indians of British Columbia,' who pressed for a submission of the land question In the north to the courts, objecting to tho reply given by Hon. Richard McBride, who refused them a petition of right. Sir- Wilfrid expressed regret that Mr. McBride had not agreed to refer the matter in dispute to the courts. He pointed out that, they might have to take it into court without tlie consent of the government of Britisii Columbia in order to settle the matter. With Rev. A. E. O'Meara, who has been actively engaged in the mission on behalf of the Indians, were Rev. Canon Tucker, Rev. Charles Deprose and H. Cassells, K. C, of Toronto. IN POLICE COURT Charge of Keeping "Opium Joint" Is Not Concluded in Magistrate's Court In the police court today Gussey Hamilton, charged with keeping a disorderly house, a place where opium was used, was brought before the magistrate. The case for the prosecution was presented when an adjournment was taken until Monday when the defence will be offered. The evidence went to show that when the police raided the place, two were using opium, at least, had the pipe and all the other necessary articles between them and were in a dazed condition. The keeper, (he accused, was in the room. A. Manson, who appeared for the defence, endeavored to establish the tact that the pipe, etc., did not belong to the house, but to the woman next door, Mae Adams, who was a witness and denied possession. The defence also attempted to show that a police officer had attempted to screen the latter woman in connection with the case. This was denied absolutely by Constable McArthur. The new quarters occupied by J. H. Rogers, the steamship agent, and J. H. Kugler, the enterprising real estate dealer, are among the most comfortable In tlie city. Both firms have moved into their new quarters on Second avenue, looking down Centre street. They are both furnished in excellent style and afford excellent opportunities for publicity. The hospital board met on Wednesday afternoon in the office of P. I. Palmer. A letter of resignation from A. Cuthbert, secretary of the board was read. Mr. Cuthbert in his letter took exception to some remarks that had been made at a previous meeting with respect to furnishing reports. He contended that he had given all the reports required under the bylaws. After some discussion it was decided not to accept Mr. Cntlibert'3 resignation at the meeting, but to refer it to the executive committee, who will recommend a successor from among the members of the association. On the report of C. V. Bennett, who had been appointed to look into the bylaws as they now stand, it was decided to have a new set of bylaws drafted to be brought before a special meeting of tlie association to be called for the purpose, A committee, consisting of C. V. Bennett, chairman, P. I. Palmer and O. H. Nelson was appointed to prepare new bylaws and report. The new bylaws will provide for the appointment of a managing secretary such as is now employed, and which it is doubtful can be properly appointed under the present bylaws. Several other changes will be introduced so as to make the machinery of the board run rather more smoothly, the changes being based on the experience of the board since the institution opened and the exact needs are known. J. G. Scott brought up the question of laundry. He said he understood that some of it went to the Chinese laundry. It was, he understood, from some of the employees at the hospital. He did not think this condition should exist. Only white laundries should be patronized. It was pointed out that the hoard bad not power to dictate as to where employees should send their laundry. It was felt that the board could use its influence along the line indicated and accordingly, on motion of J. G. Scott and O. H. Nelson, a motion was passed that the board recommend that the staff of the hospital should patronize white laundries rather than Chinese. A report was maae by H. H. Clarke for the committee having in hand the consideration of a water tank for the hospital to provide against shortage during lack of wa- er. He reporteo in favor of a red wood tank. After discussion it was decided to give further time to the committee to go more fully Into the question. The subject of fire escapes for the nstitulion formed the basis for a report from J. G. Scott, who presented to the board a choice of escapes to meet the needs, It was decided to empower the committee to proceed with the work of installation. The board adjourned tei meet next Wednesday at the hospital. EIRE LOSS Branch Store Of Stalker & Wells Destroyed During the Night Tlie rirm of Stalker & Wells met with an unfortunate loss early this morning when their new branch store opened a little over a week ago, near Hays Cove, was destroyed by fire. The fire broke out some time after midnight. Mr. Wells, who was In charge and who had rooms in the building, was awak- ened only to find the place full of smoke, lie notified the fire department and a quick response was made. The distance from headquarters, however, rendered it, impossible to reach the place until the building and sto'-k were practically destroyed. o Captain S. Johnson, who has e-harge of Ihe Foley, Welch & Stewart fleet, has gone up the river to superintend (lie dispatching of the steamers on their first trip. PRINCE RUPERT JOURNAL Friday, April 28, 1911. ..>»*.*>,;.»; *• V V V *,' V *»* V V *** v %- v *. i*****i $******i\ * h i | Prospecting in British Columbia f •:• * .> * * What "Financial World" of London Has to Say About This Province. * * * ***************************************************** An interviewer recently asked Mr. E. J. Chamberlin, the general manager of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway, whether any programme of development was contemplated with regard to Vancouver Island by his company, says the Financial World. "No," he replied, "we have no development plans for Vancouver Island. Why should wo go into that is'and, whose great wealth of resource is now approximately understood, which wolud mean paying a substantial price for any of its re- zh ,66bahead cmfw ycm fcm sources we might seek to acquire, when we have such a virgin field as the Queen Charlotte Island so much nearer pur terminus, and every bit as rich in variety of natural resources as even Vancouver Island? While the Canadian Pacific and Canadian Northern are developing Vancouver Island we shall devote ourselves in all probability to the Queen Charlottes." In a recent article in the Financial World we dealt with the exceptional openings which British Columbia offers to the British capitalist, and with the particular attractions of the group of Islands above referred to by Mr. Chamberlin. The completion of the Grand Trunk Pacific line from Moncton, New Brunswick, to Prince Rupert, brings the Queen Charlotte Islands into direct touch with Canada's markets, and removes the one obstacle which has hitherto hindered the development of a richly mineralized and densely timbered region. A Financial World representative has recently had the pleasure of a lengthy and interesting interview with Mr. J. G. Johnston, of the Western Steel Corporation, of Vancouver. Although well-known as one of the oldest pioneers and explorers in British Columbia, Mr. Johnston is still a young man. Active and wiry, with keenly observant eyes he is an excellent type of colonist, and knows the Province intimately from one end to the other. He confirmed in every particular what has already been said on the subject in the Financial World, and was able to supplement it by many details from his close personal knowledge of the country. On the subject of timber he is an enthusiast, and he pointed out that British Columbia undoubtedly possesses a greater quantity of timber than any other part of North America. The minister of finance, in his recent budget, statement, announced that the total amount of lumber cut in 1910 amounted to 1,040,000,000 feet, valued at $17,160,000, an increase of Jie.lOO.OOO as compared with 1909. It is believed that the rapidly growing demand for timber will increase the value of this commodity by 50 per cent in the near future, and Mr. Johnston emphasized the exceptional opportunities thus offered to investors in moderately capitalized and carefully managed lumber and sawmill companies. Mr. Johnston, among his many other activities, played a prominent part in the location of the extensive coal deposits now being developed on Graham Island, which are likely to be of the greatest importance to the commerce of the north. The remarkable speed with which the industries of this prosperous province are being succesfully matured is due in no snioll degree to the Premier, the Hon. Richard McBride. His clear, statesmanlike grasp of the political situation, his remarkable businesslike foresight, and his vigorous yet charming personality, make a brilliant combination which is proving of incalculable benefit to Britisii Columbia. He is proud of his province, and great and varied though his responsibilities are, he is always ready to grant an interview to anyone having suggestions to make in the interests of the country. He is a quick and unerring judge of men and affairs dominating the politics and finance of the province. Britisii Columbia should rapidly come to the front. OF INTEREST TO FARMERS Bulletins to Be Issued from New Dominion Institution for the Benefit of Farmers WILL WRECK PARTY Premier Roblin's Views of the Way in Which Reciprocity Movement Will Act. He Sees Defeat for the Liberals Even If the Arrangement Is Put in Effect Hon. R. P. Roblin, Premier of Manitoba, speaking on the reciprocity question to an interviewer in Toronto, said: "There are a good many who believe that if it ever goes into operation It will be such a disappointment, such a costly experiment to the poor unfortunates who have been misled and deceived, that the defeat of the Laurier Government will be so easy that here will hardly be a contest at al". That view of the case Is held, I may say, by men who believe that the Laurier government should be overthrown on its general administration, but who are satisfied that with the reciprocity pact in effect the overthrow would be assured, would be assured. My own opinion," Mr. Roblin continued, "is that reciprocity will divide Canada into an east and west, it will produce a condition of things that will destroy the work that has been prosecuted toward binding tlie scattered provinces together in inter-provincial trade ever since confederation." After pointing out that reciprocity would mean the certain wrecking of mixed farming in Manitoba, where this business Is just beginning to fee- developed, Mr. Roblin went on: "I make the statement that reciprocity will not only not benefit the people of Manitoba, btu that it will work most serious injury and financial loss, with more certainty and conviction than any statement I have ever made on any other public question. I cannot undertake even to estimate—it Is too serious to do so—its final effect upon confederation and upon our relations with the Motherland." o — Small Johnny—Papa, would you be glad if I saved a dollar for you? Papa—Certainly, my son. Small Johnny—Well, I saved It for you, all right. You said If I brought a first-class report from my teacher this week you would give me a dollar—and I didn't bring it! ************************** I The New Coiffure I * * •:<**^*«:<'5'e.:<*»t«:«>e5.^..j<..j,^,^,.j,^,4,^,^„»,^, Without doubt, fashion has now veered to the more modified coiffure. The hair is frequently parted and waved, to be draw down at the sides of the face, partially conceal ing the ears, and knotted at the back in a style not unlike the Psyche knot. Again, the hair will be parted but drawn up at the back and sides, with a loose cluster of curls or puffs on the top of the head, well toward the back. Still another and more extreme method is that which shows the hair done in flat bands, with bang on the forehead, and sometimes with ringlets depending from beneath the bandeaux at the bask. Does this mean the passing of the pad and of extra hair goods? the merchant will ask. Not necessarily. The second variety of coiffure one popularized by Miss Billie Burke, and firmly rooted in the favor of American women generally, demands not only a devided pad, but it also requires extra curls, puffs or ringlets in the case of a woman who has no great supply of hair of her own. The first style of coiffure would also call for the divided pad in some cases, and even for an artificial Psyche knot. On the other hand, the last name would dispense with all padding, but would require the bang, and perhaps several bandeaux of hair as well as the tiny ringlets. On the other band, the flatness of the now head-dressing will undoubtedly presage the return to favor of the ornamental combs, of late rather neglected. Barrettes should be as popular an ever, with an increased demand for the high style feature in back combs especially, including the jig-sawed, the rhlnestone set and the metallic mounted numbers. In the last named several beautiful styles have recently appeared. The wide gold band is prettily chased and engraved, and both shell and white goods are used for tha comb, the latter being a high novelty which should appeal to the lady of blonde tresses. After an umbrella has been In use for a short time, put a drop of oil in the centre of the top about once a month. This prevents the ribs from rusting. Under the direction of the new superintendent, Mr. P. H. Moore, the Dominion Government experimental farm at Agassiz is being converted into a model stock farm. Heretofore fruit growing has been the principal work carried on. Under the new superintendent it is the intention of the government to establish a model home dairy. Cattle and horse breeding will also be engaged in, and the results will be announced in a series of bulletins for the benefit of the farmers of Britisii Columbia. The new policy to be adopted at Agassiz was decided upon in view of the rapid settlement of the province and the need for giving farmers the results of dairying and stock breeding experiments. Instead of engaging mostly in fruit growing at Agassiz the government experts concluded ft would be better to adopt general farm work there, and establish fruit growing stations in various sections, including the dry belt, owing to the variety of climates existing In different parts of the province. While these alterations are being made it is not intended that fruit culture shall be neglected. A model dairy stable and a model home dairy will soon be realities at Agassiz. A contract for the buildings will be awarded shortly. Fifty head of grade Holsteins will be purchased, and the herd will be gradually worked up to a pure-bred type; similar experiments will be made with various breeds of horses. The farm is already the home of one of the best flocks of Dorset sheep in the province. The Dominion Government has just selected the site of a large experimental fruit station at Salmon Arm, on the line of the Canadian Pacific Railway, and located in the dry belt. This new farm will carry on work similar to that now being conducted at the Harper ' ranch near Kamloops. The Dominion Government has already secured a large tract in the dry belt in the Wndermere district, about fifty miles south of Golden, and will establish a similar experimental fruit station there, as well as another in the Okanagan district. Negotiations for the land required for the last mentioned farm are now in progress. o Mr. Slimson—Willie, didn't you go to the trunkmaker's yesterday and tell him to send around that trunk I ordered?

PRINCE RUPERT JOURNAL &tftlffllffltffl[ffltffltffltftl ElftWWWWWtfflWk I GRAND TRUNK PACIFIC 1 TOWNSITE M ELLISON The only Main Line Town- site in British Columbia in which the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway Company has announced its joint ownership. ELLISON w i i S.EE THE OFFICIAL MAP.—The first glance will show you that ELLISON is located at the junction of the Skeena River and the Bulk- ley Valley. The Grand Trunk Pacific has announced that they are joint owners in the townsite of Ellison. Now, my dear reader, you must remember that up to date the Grand Trunk Pacific has not announced that it has any interest in any other main line towsite in Britisii Columbia. Does that start you thinking? o ■ STUDY THE MAP and you will find Ellison is where the railway tracks leave navigation. That fact is a very important one for conservative investors to think over. What is known as the Hazelton district covers a territory many miles in extent in every direction radiating from the townsite of Ellison. .Mining machinery, ore shipments, smelters, reduction plants and all sorts of mining operations starting up in this rich mineral region, must necessarily have a metropolis, a HUB, a headquarters. If any sane, conservative man can figure out any other spot except Ellison for the hub of the great commerce of this district, his plan should be very inter esting to the Grand Trunk Pacific officials. It does seem as though these officials, after several years of investigation and engineering, would know just what they were doing when they put their official stamp on Ellison. o STUDY THAT MAP.—I desire to say to all parties who are talking townsites in the vicinity of Skeena River and the Bulkley Valley that there will no doubt be several small towns, just the same as one always finds in a mining district. There will be towns in the vicinity of Ellison along branch railways, probably towns at the ends of branch lines made to serve the mines and the collieries, but it will be history repeating itself in regard to the building up of every metropolis. Ellison has every natural advantage, has every earmark of being the future mercantile and financial center of the Skeena River mining dislrict and the entrance to the Bulk- ley Valley. STUDY THAT MAP and you will find that all of the mining towns and railroad towns around there just beginning to be talked about will only be feeders to the city and port of ELLISON. The Grand Trunk Pacific has put its official stamp on Ellison. Do you believe the company will do as much for townsites owned by individuals as it will for one in which its stock- holders are joint owners? If you do, don't buy any lots in Ellison. If you desire to make a permanent investment, or merely to make a little quick money, you must decide for yourself right now. Do you propose to follow the individual townsite promoters or the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway Company. o ■ STUDY THAT MAP.—If you desire to put your money into a real estate promoter's townsite you will have many, many opportunities this summer, The average promoter is full of hurrah and red fire. He must enthuse investors of the mail order class with his wares. ELLISON is in the Missouri class. Therefore, I am not telling any fairy tales about it. I am making statements that can be readily verified. o STUDY THAT MAP.—If you want to join that great army of investors-at-long-range, then you should put your money into promoters' townsites. If you want a perfectly safe and sound investment, certain to bring you large profits, then put your money where the Grand Trunk Pacific, after years of careful investigation, have put their money. o — STUDY THAT MAP.—It is not likely the Grand Trunk Pacific will have any other townsite in British Columbia for sale this year. The officials of the company state that the company is not interested in any townsite in the Hazelton district with the exception of ELLISON. ELLISON is on the bank of the Skeena at its confluence with the Bulkley. You may change railway surveys; you may change the location of towns along the line of road, but you cannot change the geography of the country through which the railway passes. The head of navigation necessarily means an important townsite. Ellison will not only be at the head of navigation but the center of a mining district wonderful in its resources that is now being opened up, and for which Ellison will be the shipping point both by rail and water. The fact that trains may change engines up or down the line or in the suburbs of the town of Ellison does not amount to shucks in building up a town when sue-li places are compared with a town located wliere rails and navigation meet. STUDY THAT MAP.—You will find on the official plan of Ellison that a large part of the town- site has been reserved for future sales, the same as the company has done with certain sections of Prince Rupert townsite. There are, therefore, at this time, comparatively few lots on the market. You must hurry if you want one. o STUDY THAT MAP.—ROGERS' ADDITION to Ellison, only a small parcel of land, lies within eight blocks of the site of the railway station. Lots in this are heing offered. 1 am advising my clients to buy Rogers Addition lots at $150 for inside lots and *^60 for corners. Terms—10 per cent discount for cash, or 10 per cent down and the balance on easy terms; no interest. ft LOTS IN ELLISON TOWNSITE AND ROGERS ADDITION FOR SALE PRINCE RUPERT British Columbia ^WWWWWWWW! JEREMIAH H. KUGLER Offices-2nd Avenue Facing Grand Trunk Terminal wwwwwRawwi^ GERMANY'S RULERS Correction of Some Misconceptions is Hade by British Writer in Chronicle. There Are Wide Powers Given to the Representatives of the People in That Country A writer in the London Daily Chronicle, Charles Lowe, throws an interesting flood of light on the system of government in Germany. The description of the powers of the local governments and the freedom of the reichstag, or people's parliament, shows how safely the affairs of a vast military empire may be conducted on the home rule theory. The article is as follows: Many people regard the German Empire as a great autocracy, and the Kaiser as the very personification of an autocrat. Nothing, however, is further from the truth. The German Empire is today the most convincing proof of the triumph of Federalism.—Mr. John Redmond. The above quotation from an article contributed to a contemporary by the leader of the Irish party, calls attention to a fact not generally known, that Germany is par excellence the country of home rule in Europe—her local or Individual state parliaments corresponding to the various state legislatures In the American Union. But whereas with us it is proposed, by the advocates of home rule, to decentralize legislation by the creation of separata parliaments, subject to their venerable mother at Westminster, Germany has attained to her present autonomous position by something like the reverse process. That is to say, all the home rule diets, or local state assemblies in Germany did not proceed from, but preceded, the reichstag, or imperial parliament. They were In existence before the creation of the empire in 1871, and all they did was to surrender some of their lawmaking powers to the legislature of the reich. The residue of these powers they retained, and continue to exercise in as full and independent a manner as ever—sub ject, of course, to the usual "Imperial guarantees." The Confederation Prussia, Bavaria, Saxony, Wur- temberg, Baden, and all the other minor sovereignties in Germany, form in their totality the confederation called the German Empire; each has its landtag, diet, or separate state assembly, generally consisting of two chambers, with the king, grand duke, duke, or prince as the third effective factor in the legislature; and each of these bi-cameral diets is entitled to legislate on lacol matters as before, minus the affairs that were, by common consent in 1871, handed over to the care of the reichstag, or imperial parliament, representing the whole German people. Even the Reichsland, Alsace-Lorraine, is now at last to be endowed with a two-chamber sort. of legislature for local self-government, under the Statthalter, or viceroy, and promises fair to reconcile the people to their conquered, or rather reconquered lot, as nothing else has ever done. It is also, let me say, that, though Bavaria, for example, enjoys some very special privileges in the field of autonomy, neither here nor in any state, so far as I know, lias there ever been seen any sign of tlie least centrifugal tendency or disposition to dislocate and disrupt tlte imperiol edifice which had the mighty Bismarck for its builder. This Is an edifice in which the most keen-eyed critic will search In vain for the very slightest rent or crack—all the German princes and people being welded indivisibly together by their heart-whole devotion to the ideas of "Kaiser and Reich." State Legislatures It is, I believe, generally known how the various state legislatures are constiuted—most of them bicameral landtags or diets with the local crown placed effectively, hut by no means arbitrarily over them. And now let us see what is the nature of the federal or imperial legislature itself. This may be said to sist of only two factors, with no crown or veto power over them at all. "But what, then, about the emperor?" I think I hear my astonished readers ask. My reply is that the emperor, as executive president of the German Union, has no veto power whatever over measures which have been passed by the imperial legislature, which is a purely bi-cameral one. These two chambers, constituting the German legislature, represent the German people on one hand, and the sovereign princes of Germany on the other. The former is called the reichstag, or national assembly, returnable on the basis of universal or manhood suffrage, while the other is the Bundesrath, or federal council, composed of personal representatives of tho confederate sovereigns, and presided over by the imperial chancellor, whose appointment lies with the kaiser. Each of these chambers—one the people's house, the other the princes' house—has co-ordinate and co-equal powers. The assent of both is necessary to the passing of a law, and a bill would be blocked by the negation of either. Distribution of Power The reichstag has 397 members, and the federal council 58—or, at least, that is the number of its votes. Of these 17 only belong to the King of Prussia, whose monarchy is about two-thirds of tho whole of Germany, while the rest are distributed among the other states in proportion to their size and Importance. It will thus be seen that Prussia might easily be outvoted in what may be called the upper chamber or princes' house • of Germany, Tlie combined "noes" of Saxony and the southern states would, In themselves suffice to counteract the "ayes" of Prussia, and as a matter of fact It has repeatedly happened that the king thereof has thus been outvoted by his sovereign confederates. The location of the supreme court of the empire at Leipzig, instead of at Berlin, was a case in point. But, please, will my gentle readers try and get it. into their heads that the kaiser, as executive chief of the German union, has no power of veto over a measure which has once—as in the case, for example, of the supreme court—been approved by thq two chambers of the legislature; and that then, as German emperor, he has no choice, but to promulgate a law which, as King of Prussia, he may have previously opposed In the princes' house. It is true that In this upper house the influence of the King of Prussia is paramount; nevertheless such is the theory and practice as I have endeavored to explain, the main thing to remember being that the emperor has no veto power over measures passed by the two' chambers representing tlie princes and people of the Fatherland. The Reichstag Moreover, it is a great mistake to suppose, as so many Englishmen seem to do, that the reichstag, or people's house, returnable by manhood suffrage, is a new law-assenting and registering body, and that it has no will or power of its own. I can assure them that this is a gross mistake, and that the Williemstrasse is ankle-deep in the bones and dust of bills which the people's chamber has thrown out. The reichstag's power of the purse is absolute as that of the house of commons. Not a single man or mule, for example, can be added to the German army without the consent of, that is to say. the voting of their cost, by the German people. The veto power of the reichstag is just as absolute as that of the Bundesdrath, and nothing can be done in the way of positive legislation without tlie assent of both, They thus represent a pretty even balance of forces. What mutters it that tbe initiative of legislation lies with (lie federal council, and that therefore private bills are rarely heard of, if the reichstag enjoys the absolute right of rejecting those measures? Party System The one tiling the reichstag, or the people's house, cannot do is by a party majority against the government to turn it out of power, and for the simple reason that, though Germany may be said to have a parliamentary regime, it is not yet "blessed" or otherwise, with the party or see-saw system of rule. Besides, there is no such thing at Berlin as an imperial cabinet. The only imperial minister worth considering is the chancellor, the rest of the "ministry," so to speak, being formed by the members of the federal council. There is a Prussian ministry, but not an Imperial one, so that an application of the party system to the German government Itself would, at the utmost, result In a change of chancellor. But, as a matter of fact ,the German people, as a whole, are not very much en amored of party government, preferring to trust to the wisdom of their monarch and the patriotism of their ministers. What, said Prince Dulow, who may be credited with knowing his countrymen as well as anyone? "No one in Germany desires personal regime; but on the other hand the vast majority of the German people is most emphatically against a party regime." And why? Because the Germans, being a sensible people, know full well that they must strike the golden mean between civil liberty and military security, and that as long as their country, as Moltke phrased it, "remains in tlie position of a besieged fortress," it would be folly of them to entrust the destinies of their country—depending as they do on the strength and efficiency of their forces by land and sea—to tlie polit-l icai caprices of rival factions. When Englishmen talk of "constitutional government" they mean government by party, whereas the meaning attached to the phrase by the German is a governmenl according to a written constitution, which they certainly enjoy, They are the must reconciled to its omission of any reference to party governmenl since it gives them, as I said before, absolute control of the nation's purse, as well as absolute power to reject any and every| measure thai may meet with their disapproval. Hundreds of such measures have' been thrown out beyond recall, while, on the other hand, the government lias absolutely no means Of dragooning tlie reichstag to its will. True, the kaiser, with tlie assent of his fellow-sovereigns in tlie Union, may, on the advice of the chancellor, dissolve parliament, and thus send il packing, on the understanding "bien enten- elii," that another must soon take place. But so may our own king on the advice of his premier. Dissolutions of the reichstag have always taken the form practically of a plebiscite, referendum or direct appeal on some particular Issue—army bill, or tin. like—from the party rent representatives of the people to the people themselves, anil I cannot recall a single case In which the pop ular reply to such an appeal was not in favor of tlie government. That is because the German people, as a whole, firmly believe in the hondesty, the honor, the enlightenment, tlie public spirit and patriotism of their government, and the belief is anilely justified of acts. For there Is no government in Europe that is more slngle-mindedly devoted to the highest interests of tlie nation than that of Germany, whose greatest source of strength is its consistency and continuity, and its happy non-dependence, on the ever- varyig spirit of party.

MISCHIEVOUS AGITATORS It is to be hoped that Sir Wilfrid Laurier is incorrectly reported when he is credited with using language that can be interpreted as encouraging the Indians of northern Britisii Columbia to expect that the claims put up by "The Friends of the Indians of British Columbia" will receive his support in pressing for a submission of a case to the courts for decision. The encouragement which tlie reports state has been given by Sir Wilfrid to these Indians shou'd never be held out. No one wants to deprive the Indians of this province or any other province of every right that belongs to them. We would favor going far beyond treaty rights with them and the majority of citizens would back up such a course. The Indians have never been harshly treated in this country. The native tribes of northern British Columbia are a credit to the Indian race in every respect. They are intelligent, and to a very considerable extent industrious. There has never been any attempt on the part of the province of British Columbia to take away any rights that belonged to these Indians. If there ever were such an attempt made we would be the first to demand on the part of the Indians the fullest protection by the Dominion whose wards the Indians are. But no such attempt is oeing made. The Indians, or rather their "friends" ask au appeal to the courts to decide the point as to whether the Indians have not rights io all the land in certain parts of the north and ask for the granting of a petition of rights to the natives to submit such a claim to the courts. On first thought this might appear to be an easy request to grant and let the courts decide. There are, however, two serious objections to it, however that will readily appeal to all who have followed the history of negotiations with the Indians on this coast. The first objection is that an uncertainty would be introduced into the land question in the north. It may be perfectly evident how the case would end, but there would be for some time a cloud upon the land titles. On the other hand, Indians pre Indians. While many are very advanced in the ways of the dominant white race, yet the vast majority of the tribesmen remain Indians in their method of looking at matters of law and constitutional order. The case of Joe Capilano, the old chief on the Fraser, affords an instance. Capilano, a few years ago, together with some other Indians, conceived the idea that there wero grievances. It was decided that Capilano should go back to Ottawa and see the "Big Chief," Sir Wilfrid, about the matters In dispute. He went, and, returning, became a positive nuisance in the community until his death a few years later, lie assuredly misinterpreted a simple audience Which Sir Wilfrid gave him and at which lie was given a courteous hearing. He refused after his return to treat with Indian agents or any other officials, He conceived the idea that, in any ditficuty he had, lie had been told to appeal direct to Sir Wilfrid. The premier of Canada is too wise a statesman, we concede, to have Intentionally given tbe Indian ohlef bucIi an assurance, Capilano, nowever, cherished this thought and became a disturber to a far greater degree than ever before. His time was spent In agitation and trouble- making, to the disadvantage of his kindred and tlie white settlers. The Indian must be dealt with with ulscretlon, with kindness and with firmness combined. When Sir Wilfrid was here last summer the Indians approached him in person on these land questions. The premier then acted with discretion. He told the Indians to always look to the agents of the department as their friends and to be franK in bringing tl.elr troubles before the agents, feeling assured that the fullest justice would always be given them. They were not encouraged hy the "Big Chief" to make trouble and the advice was well received. We feel satisfied that if Sir Wil frid would but consult Hon. William Templeman in the matter he would be better guided than by listening too strongly to the words of the "friends." If the prime minister is correctly reported as being prepared to force the question into court in spite of the provincial government's decision and on the fanciful claims of the "friends," we feel that he is but very poorly advised. •> * •>»>.;*»>>>*;. * ** ***** **** ***** * * * * News of the Province % * J ************************** SUBURBAN ROAD VICTORIA— Work, preliminary to the actual construction of the Saanlch extension of the B. C. Electric Railway, has been commenced. Two camps between Victoria and Stelly's crossing, a point twelve miles out, have been established, and a number of men, working from these are clearing the right of way for the suburban car line. The force at work will be increased to two hundred men within the next few days. REWARD FOR BRAVERY SIDNEY—To recognize the bravery of the Indians Cowichan Bob, Cowichan William Jack and Doughnut Charlie, who performed the major part of the rescue work in connection with the wreck of the Iroquois on the morning of April 10, the residents of Sidney have arranged a committee to take the matter up in the district and with the proper authorities. Captain Eddie, examiner of masters and mates, at Vancouver, who held the first sitting of the preliminary enquiry into the cause of the wreck, at Sidney, there notified Cowichan William for the three Indians, that their bravery would be communicated to the head of his department and that he would urge that proper recognition of the acts be given. A NEW HOSPITAL NELSON—The directors of the Kootenay Lake General Hospital Association have decided to erect a new building at a cost of approximately $60,000 to replace the present inadequate and inconvenient structure. This decision arose out of the report presented by a special committee appointed at the annual meeting to look into the question of putting up a new building or making additions nad improvements to the present structure. The latter course was considered impracticable and the directors decided to inaugurate a campaign to raise from $30,- 000 to $35,000 immediately, the provincial government having given an understanding to put up dollar for dollar for all money raised by the association. EXTREME PENALTY NEW WESTMINSTER — Charlie Sato, a Japanese, who for some time has been keeping a bawdy house on Quebec street, received the highest sentence that the law permits, at the hands of Magistrate Edmonds in the police court—$100 and costs or six months' in jail with hard labor. Sato pleaded guilty to the charge. .Mr. G. E. Martin, city prosecutor asking that the highest penalty be imposed, grilled the prisoner unmercifully. "This man—I should have said this creature—has pleaded guilty," he said. "Fortunately, such charges as this are not frequent ,for 1 cannot imagine a man —for he is still a man—keeping such a place. I think that it is time to recognize that such a man should be dealt with as severely as the law allows." Magistrate Edmonds stated that he fully agreed with Mr. Martin, The fine was the highest the law permitted, hilt were It In his power he would cheerfully give more. NO BIDS IN VANCOUVER—Although Saturday, the 22nd instant, was tlie day allowed for the receipt of tenders for the purchase of the site of the old court house, at the union of Cambie, Hastings and Hamilton streets, Vancouver, it Is the astonishing fact that not one offer for the property—unquestionably the most valuable in the business section of the Terminal City—reached the government. The city of Vancouver has long looked upon this particular property with covetous eyes, as an ideal location for the new city hall It Is proposed to erect in the near future. Capitalists also have on various occasions approached the government with a view to purchase, and It Is understood that one provincial millionaire has a standing offer with the minis ter of lands at a price running into seven figures. Whether the standing offer will be accepted or what further move will now be made toward a disposition of the property will probably remain in abeyance until the return to the capital of Hon. Mr. Ross, who is now in Ottawa on public business. Meanwhile it is understood that no time will be lost by the provincial authorities in laying out the grounds of the new court house in a manner that will make it one of the most delightful and artistic features of the mainland metropolis. Plans for the beautifying of the grounds have been obtained from one of the foremost landscape architects of the dominion, and action thereupon will shortly be taken. o IMPORTING RED DEEIt NEW WESTMINSTER—It is the intention of the provincial government to fence off between 20 and 30 acres of the park at Coquitlani Provincial Mental Hospital for a deer park. About 15 head of red deer are to be brought out from England this summer from Walham Court, Sussex, for breeding purposes, and these will be placed on the Asylum Farm at Coqultlom. Mr. Bryan Williams, provincial game warden, has paid a visit to the farm at Coquit- lam to select a suitable deer park, but so far he has made no selection. SCHOOL BOARD'S POWERS NELSON—At a conference showing clearly that the finance, committees of the city council and the school board were irreconcilable on the question of the current year's school estimates to a difference of nearly $8,000, the two committees agreed to disagree and on friendly basis decided on a mutual reference to the supreme court of the province. For the school board the board's finance committee had full power to conclude this arrangement, but the civic finance committee could only recommend such a course of action to the council. This recommendation was made, and was unanimously adopted by the council, Mayor Selous pointing out that the action taken was friendly and. mutual. It is understood that the school board will bring a mandamus action at the May sitting of the su- prme court to compel the city coun- cial to grant the estimates, and that the city council will co-operate by facilitating the submission of the Whole question to the court.

This deficiency of knowledge it is intended to immediately correct. Messrs. Wier and White are also taking with them a quantity ot sugar beet seed, and extensive experiments will be conducted with a view to testing the suitability of the northern district for this particular crop and the related industry of sugar-making. The provincial horticulturist, Mr. R. M. Winslow, is also expected in Prince Rupert next week, bringing with him upwards of six hundred fruit trees which have been ordered for experimental planting by the settlers of the Lakelse and Kltsumka- lum Valleys. Information is required by the settlers as to which varieties are most suited for successful growth in the districts in which they will be planted, and Mr. Wins- low will personally initiate experiments In this connection and at the same time address a series of meetings for the practical Instruction of the colonists in the most practical methods for the successful utilization of their holdings. o INSURANCE SUPERINTENDENT Colonel Gunther, of Toronto, Has Been Appointed to Office in Province ON HUNTING TRIP To hunt the big game of Alaska, which many enthusiastic hunters of the south have searched the wilderness depths of that northern land, the Seattle yacht La Viajera, which has been lying in Victoria harbor is now on her long cruise. One of the finest yachts, the La Viajera, is owned by H. K. Owens, J. D. Sword, mining engineer, and A. H. Ridsdale, prominent business men of Tacoma, who, in company with Mr. Dodds, are making the trip to the north. The vessel has been in this port, taking on stores and ammunition, and the latter they expect to distribute widely throughout the Alaskan country. It will be a day of woe for the great elk, the grizzly bear and other species which make the northern domain their home. The sportsmen expect to be gone about six months and on their return trip believe that they will have some excellent specimens of the big game of Alaska. They have on board the vessel every kind of firearms and ammunition necessary for securing big bags. The air will be full of lead whizzing m various directions, pursuing the feet quadrupeds of the north. The La Viajera is a schooner- rigged yacht and is equipped with auxiliary power, so that in a calm she Is able to proceed on her set course. Many of those in this city who remember the great ocean yacht race from Honolulu In 1907, will recall the fact that the La Viajera, which was built at Dockton, Wash., was among those entered in the race, but as she did not finish in time was not among the competitors. She is 74 feet over all; 17.C feet in, breadth; 9.6 feet in depth, and has a tonnage of 35 tons. With all her sails set she has spread from her masts 3,400 square feet of canvas and with a fair breeze can hit a fast clip. She Is built upon beautiful lines and her well finished deck of Douglas fir has caught the eyes of many spectators who have visited her. In case of calms her 25-horsepower gasoline engine Is used and she is an ideal boat for the cruise which she Ins just started on. In connection with the trip to the north It is the Intention of Mr. Sword to conduct a prospecting tour of Alaskan shores. The La Viajera is equipped with a complete assay ing outfit and is credited with be ing the only vessel on the coast that has one. o TO OPEN UP THE NORTH (Continued From Page One.) that territory, who will, similarly, be anxious to know for what crops their lands are best suited and the beBt methods to be adopted for their successful development. Up to date the department has not been In pos- The provincial. government has appointed Colonel Gunther, of To ronto, to be superintendent of insurance for British Columbia, effective from July 1. Colonel Gunther has been for many years inspector of the Norwich Union Assurance Company. The duties of Colonel Gunther may be stated in a few words, although they will be quite important, and will require not only the whole of his time, but also probably that of two or three assistants. His office was created by the insurance legislation passed last session, the salary being left to be fixed subsequently by order-in-council. His department will be under the direct control of the attorney general. Under the insurance act any company desiring to do a fire Insurance business in Britisii Columbia, must deposit $20,000 with the provincial treasurer to protect the public in payment of losses, and must also pay a license fee of ?250. When these things have been done the superintendent will examine into the company's standing, ad if he is satisfied o this point the company will be allowed to do business In the province. He is empowered to examine into any fire insurance company's affairs at any time, not only in British Columbia, but at the head office, wherever it may be located. Of course tne company need not permit such examination unless it sees fit, but a refusal would mean the immediate cancellation of the license. In case of fire occurring under suspicious circumstances, it will be his duty to make a complete investigation. For this purpose he is empowered to use the resources of the province, subject to the approval of the attorney general, and is given what are practically Judicial powers in the way of summoning and examining witnesses. Great difficulty has hitherto been found in investigating fires of this kind, so much so that the attorney-general informed the legislature last session that the existing method of investigation was so cumbersome as to be of very little use. The new superintendent is expected to change all that, and to give insurance companies a security against fraud, which they have not hitherto enjoyed. The expenses of the office will be defrayed by a tax of two per cent on the receipts of all old line fire insurance companies doing business in the province. This means, of course, their receipts of business done in the province. Mutual companies are not included. They do not pay the two per cent tax, and they are not required to secure approval before commencing business. They may, however, secure his services in case they have any fire which they think should be investigated. o ' ALIEN IMMIGRATION Dominion Government Will Suspend Regulations to Allow Railroad Contractors to Get Labor The Dominion immigration regulations, providing that aliens entering Canada must come direct from the countries of their birth or naturalization will be partially suspended, until September 30, next, for the purpose of affording railroad contractors opportunity to secure sufficient men for the vast amount of railway construction projected for the present season. The precise regulation acted is Privy Council order, No. 920. It was on July 14, 1910, suspended for three months as the contractors were unable to secure sufficient labor. In connection with the suspension of the order, it is added, however, that the applicants for admission must pro duce evidence to show that they are going to railway construction jobs. Laborers from the south of Europe will not be allowed to enter Canada, the change applying only to those from northern Europe. Orientals are not affected. $****&*********************************************** AMONG THE MINES e$e^,^*4.4.4e4e»>4t<t«5,^,^4,^,^,^,^,^,i{.4,e|.4,4e,5,4,eJ,4,^,eS.^4t4.4ieJ.^.4.^..5,4e^^,4.^,^.^.^,^,^.^,^.^.^, THE GOLDEN POTLATCH RED CLIFF'S PLANS Seattle Is to Celebrate the Klondike's Gold Discovery On July 17, 1897, the steamer Portland arrived in Seattle from Alaska, bringing a ton of virgin gold from the rich new fields of the Klondike and starting the great gold rush which gave the first impetus to Seattle's growth and prosperity. On July 17, 1911, Seattle will inaugurate an annual carnival to celebrate the gift of gold, the celebration to be called the "Golden Potlatch, '97," and to consist of a week of pageantry and merrymaking in which the whole city will take part. The name and general nature of the festival were decided upon by a committee of leading citizens, and the details of the big carnival are in the hands of several, committees, while the whole city is subscribing funds for the event by purchasing official buttons. The name "Golden Potlatch, '97" is derived from the old Chinook word, potlatch, which meant to give, or, as a noun, a festival of giving. The Seattle carnival might have been termed a festival in commemoration of the gift of gold in 1897, but the short Indian word being used to express this idea. The celebration will further be known as "A Hot Time in a Cool Place," a catchy reference to the summer climate of Puget Sound. Seattle's big festival will be widely advertised throughout the east and south, as an extra attraction to summer tourists and the railroads will assist in calling the nation's attention to this unique celebration of an event which marked the beginning of the present prosperity of the northwest. Water pageants and fetes, street parades, electrical displays and carnival features of every sort will be prominent In the week's celebration. Move Is Made to Install Water Power for Promising' Stewart Property If a trio of predictions made by General Manager A. Erskine Smith, of the Red Cliff Mining Company, eventuate on June 1, shareholders in this well-known property will have cause for rejoicing, says the Portland Canal Miner. Just previous to his departure for the south, Mr Smith stated that by June 1 the 300- fott upraise wolud reach the upper workings; that the harnessing of Lydden creek for the company's power system would be generating electrical energy to drive the plant and that the first unit of a 500-ton ore bunker would be in commission ready to load the product of the mine on to the cars of the Canadian North Eastern Railway. Mr. Smith is nothing if not optimistic, and his success In driving the long 1,400 foot bore on schedule time is augury that what lie announced above will come to pass, if human energy and resourcefulness are not checked by any contretemps. The upraise is proceeding to its goal at the rate of 25 feet a week; the Installation of the water power plant has already started and the ground is being pre parpd for the laying of the pipe line. Timbers are being hauled to the site of the ore bunkers, and as the railway management will rush the laying of steel for the balance of the nine miles to the Red Cliff mine the sanguine expectations of the general manager as outlined should be fulfilled. o The Boss—Mr. Stubpen, when you came this morning I detected a trace of liquor about your person.

A party of holiday folk had hired a landau to enjoy a drive in the country, and all had gone well until within a short distance of Windsor Park. Then by some mischance the horse had caught one of its hind legs in the front of the carriage with such force that it seemed inextricable. The occupants had scrambled out in terrified haste, fearful lest the poor animal's frantic efforts to free itself should capsize tlie vehicle. Its wild plunges were fruitless, and it fell to the ground exhausted, Its foot still imprisoned. The driver and his fares exchanged exclamations of dismay, and eyed the smart motor car bearing down upon them with cynical uncertainty as to the View jts 5GG'upai« 7n"U] ,ak« «f this predicament of coniinoniilili'c bank holiday makers, With the courage of desntllr, however, the driver held up his hand as a signal of distress, apparently determined to believe that human hearts might be found even under tlie disguise of aristocratic motorists. The car slowed down; its dignified owner stepping out. Approaching the disconsolate looking driver with a cheery manner that promised much, he said, sympathetically: "You have a nasty accident, I see." "You're right, sir," replied the man, shaking his head dismally, but with a gleam of hope creeping into his eyes at the kindly tone. "It beats me to know how we are to right things. The noble stranger cast a comprehensive glance over the scene —the prostrate horse, the damaged carriage, the disappointed pleasure seekers standing helplessly around. Then he spoke in a brisk, businesslike tone that put courage into all. "If you will just follow my directions," he said, "we will try and extricate this poor creature," and turning to his chauffeur he bade him bring the tools belonging to the car. Off went the motorist's long coat, and with 'a sailor's ready wit and skill our Sailor Prince set to work, while his wife and little daughter left the car and joined the small crowd which had gathered to watch with them the results of his efforts. The tools, however, were found inadequate to the task; something stronger was needed. What was to be done? The difficulty was met in a wa ywhich made the bystanders wonder who the stranger could be, for, calling a man, he directed him to go to the park lodge and there make known his requirements. Evidently he must be well known at the palace to venture on such a step as that! The necessary tools were brought and the frightened horse was set free; but it lay panting and trembling, exhausted almost to death. In vain, willing, but ignorant, hands sought to raise it; the poor creature was powerless to respond. At this fresh crisis the noble carpenter assumed another role—that of veterinary surgeon. "Water!" he commanded promptly; "bring me a pail of water" and when it was brought it was from his compassionate hand the refreshing stream was poured upon the fainting animal's head, the result being that in a very short time it revived and was able to struggle to its feet. Meanwhile the driver stood sadly contemplating tlie half-wrecked carriage, for the horse's hoof had been literally cut out of the woodwork. What sort of a reception could he expect from his employer at the livery stables? Just then a guardsman came in sight crying along the road. Ilo glanced with indifferent curiosity at the little crowd gathered around the scene of the late disaster, until his eye fell upon the motor car. Then his expression suddenly changed to one of vivid interest. Leaping from his machine lie looked searchlngly around and caught sight of the motorist just as he turned towards him. He saluted with a promptitude and reverence that made the bystanders stare in greater astonishment than ever. The Royal Guardsman received some command, and, saluting again with profound respect, remounted his bicycle nad rode off in haste towards Windsor. His errand was not discovered till later. But the mystery of the motorist's identity was cleared up before the guardsman was out of sight. The stranger having completed his self-imposed task, once more donned the long grey coat, and, going up to the coachman as he stood a little aloof, his amazement struggling with the thanks he found himself powerless to utter, the prince held out his hand, saying with a genial smile: "Accept a little present from the Prince and Princess of Wales." Then, before the recipient could finally recover from his bewilderment, the prince had stepped into his car, where his wife and daughter were already seated and had glided off. The bystanders, however, had taken in the situation, and they cheered wildly, again and again, congratulating themselves on their good fortune which had made this bank holiday a red letter day to them for the rest of their lives. But more good fortune was In store for the coachman, for when he arrived at the livery stables, he was surprised to find his master on the lookout for him; but supposing that already his mishap had become I known through wayside tattlers, ho approached with a dismal apprehension of liiiiiending fate, which even the remembrance of a prince's kindness and generosity could not dissipate. For if, as seemed practically certain, he should receive his dismissal, even the prince's gift would not go far towards alleviating the consequences. It was at this moment that ho discovered what had been the errand on which the prince had sent the Royal Guardsman. Incidentally, also, he discovered something of the depths of that kingly heart. Not content with rendering "first aid" to man and beast on the spot, the prince had bethought him of the coachman's future. With the foresight of a naval commander he had sent word to his employer that he had been in no way to blame for the unfortunate accident, and that his character as a driver was not thereby impugned. This certificate from the Prince of Wales naturally reversed his position in the eyes of his master, and no doubt he was regarded in the light of a hero. The injury to the carriage, too, was overlooked in the happy realization that the life of the four-legegd hero had been saved by royal skill and kindness. It is fitting that his charming story of our present gracious King should be revived at this juncture, for it assures us that the lustre of the imperial crown which has since descended to him, will remain undiminished, since he has proved himself so staunch an upholder of the noble tradition of his throned man- arch better than his crown.—Cactus, in The Ladies' Field. o RELIGIOUS EDUCATION Mi , linlfour Gives His Views on tlie Future with Respect to Training in Schools Mr. Balfour was the principal speaker at a meeting held at the Mansion House, London, to commemorate the approaching centenary of the National Society. When the society began its labors in the great work of education, Mr. Balfour said, they were, if not the only agency, undoubtedly the greatest agency working in that cause. Those who founded and carried on the work of the society in 1811, and subsequently thought, as we think now, that it was folly to divide education into secular and religious education as if they two quite separate things. To think that these things can be divided is to misunderstand the true way In which the molding of character is to be carried out. "Gradually the state began to see that education could not be left entirely to private enterprises, to philanthropy or to the action of the churches," continued Mr. Balfour. "Then came the real difficulty of the situation, because in this country we have long since abandoned tho idea that It Is the business of the community to see that its citizens are all brought up in the religious belief held by the community as a whole. That way of looking at things is, of course, wholly alien to modern modes of thought, and the state finds itself in a difficulty not easy to deal with. "There are people who believe that the difficulty might be comfortably settled if the state looked after secular education and left religious education to the parents. But if you make education compulsory, you cannot say to the parents: 'We will look after your children as regards reading, writing and arithmetic, but you must look after their religion.' "To do this would be to use a vain formula. The idea that you can meet the religious needs of the country by setting parliament to work to compose what is called a non-dogmatic theology is really the wildest of dreams. I look forward to the time when it will be found possible to give in our public elementary schools that religions teaching to every child which the parents of that child desire. This is the only solution which seems to me perfectly consistent with our ideas of parental responsibility and with the fundamental doctrine that it is a misfortune for any child to be brought up without any knowledge of religion whatever." —: o A cynical old bachelor who firmly believes that all women have something to say on all subjects, recently asked a female friend: "Well, madam, what do you hold on this question of female suffrage?" To which the lady responded, calmly: "Sir, I hold my tongue." —THE— PUBLIC JN'QTJCE Tenders will be received by thu undersigned up to Thursday, June 1st, 1911, at five o'clock in the afternoon for the purchase of Lot 541, Range 5, Coast District, situated in the vicinity of the City of Prince Rupert and containing 19.7 acres.

ROOM NO. 4, EXCHANGE BLOCK -,' Friday, April 28, 1911. PRINCE RUPERT JOURNAL IN SOUTHERN ICE Member of Captain Scott's Expedition Writes on Conditions as They Are. Opt. Amundsen's Fram Is Met by the Terra Nova in Southern Seas Lieut. Pennell, a member of Capt. Scott's Antarctic expedition, writing from the Terra Nova, states: "The Terra Nova, on proceeding eastward from McMurdo Sound, surveyed the Great Ice Barrier as far aB the point where it Is crossed by the 170th meridian of west longitude. Up to this point it appears to have changed little since the expedition of 1902. A gale from the southeast now forced us to head for Cape Colbeck, which was reached on February 2, and here further progress to the east was stopped by heavy pack ice. A high ice cliff pre- . vented the eastern party landing in the vicinity of Cape Colbeck itself, so we retturned along the Barrier edge, searching for a landing place. No practical spot was found until we reached the Bay of Whales, In longitude 164 west. Here we made the discovery that the shore line of Balloon Bight has broken away entirely, merging that indention Into the Bay of Whales. "In this bay, which we reached on February 4, we found the Fram, the vessel of the Amundsen Antarctic expedition, which is going into winter quarters here. With her were eight men, accompanied by 116 Greenland dogs, and furnished with a full equipment for a journey to the Pole. The Fram is proceeding to Buenos Ayres, returning the following season to re-embark Captain Amundsen. "Stores were landed and a hut erected two miles from the ship, and the Terra Nova afterwards left again for McMurdo Sound. We found, in the Discovery hut, a message to the effect that the depot-laying party were all well. "Proceeding north once more we encountered a southerly gale off Cape Adare, and were blown over a hundred miles to the north. We made land to the east of Smith's Inlet, and followed the coast for a distance of two miles to Robertson's Bay. Landing here, however, was Impossible, owing to the precipitous and heavily glaciated coast, and the eastern (? western) party is wintering at Cape Adare. "The Terra Nova next proceeded on an exploring cruise to the east of Cape North, with the object of investigating the pack in the Balleny Islands vicinity. No pack was found immediately south of the islands. When in latitude 69.40, we encountered strong winds, which lasted until February 22, when a mountainous land, hitherto unknown, was discovered at about €9.50 S., 1G3.2' E. We were hampered greatly by cloudy and foggy weather, and forced away from land by heavy pu k-ic-, and the coast line was found again on February 25, in 69.20 S., 159 E. "We were unable to approach nearer than about twelve miles, for we were caught in an exceptionally heavy pack, from which we were fortunately released the next day by the wind shifting. We followed the coast line northwestward for thirty miles, but the pack never let us approach it within ten miles. The coast is hilly and rugged, and Is scarred with numerous glaciers. The higher land was mostly obscured from our vision by low clouds which hung about it the whole time. "The Terra Nova was prevented getting further west than 68.30 S.; 158.15 E., and, being forced eastwards, skirted tho pack until in the vicinity of the BalleneyB once more. Frequently the ship was stopped entirely by the pack, once for three days, but she cleared it finally on March 8, in 64.28 S., 161.39 E. Many interesting soundings were taken, and the biologist obtained excellent trawls at a depth of 200 fathoms." My husband amuses me," says the hostess, "by the excuses he has for being detained down town of evenings. Sometimes I can almost hear his brain working out an excuse as he tiptoes up the stairs." "My husband," says the caller, "is different. He is a very systematic man, you know, and some time ago he wrote out a list of various excuses and numbered them. Now, when he comes in he just calls up the stairs, 'Number four',' or 'Number twenty,' or whatever the number may be." IMPERSONATION CASE Paris Has Had a Lot of Laughing Over a Peculiarly Interesting Career A bewildering case of impersonation has kept Paris laughing all the week, while It has plunged in consternation the old French aristocracy, whose proverbial exclusive- ness Is held up to general ridicule. The affair finds a historical parallel in the notorious case of the English butcher, Arthur Orton, who passed as Sir Roger Tichborne. Marquis Paul de Rquefeuille, one of Paris' most popular Boclety men, a member of several smart clubs, and lionized in the best society for the charm of his appearance and manners, and who married the Comtesse de la Bourmene, has been identified by the secret police as Paul Reiss, alias Gallett, alias Tisse- band, son of a wine seller, and wanted by the police here and In other countries for swindling and bigamy. The name Rouquefeuille, assumed by the adventurer, belongs to a rich and ancient family. The false marquis has had adventures all over the world. Born in 1855, he began his career in 1875, when he left Paris for Buenos Ayres in company with a wealthy coffee planter. There he became bankrupt and returned to Paris with a great deal of money, which he spent in a few months. He then managed to obtain funds on false promises and travelled in Italy, India and China. Nothing more was learned of him until he appeared in Algeria as a novice in the Trappists monastery, which he left In 1885 to become the editor of Le Verite, which conducted a campaign against anti-Semitism. At that time he became a friend of the real Marquis de Roquefeuille, then a lieutenant in a regiment of hussars stationed at Algiers. The marquis died shortly after, and Reiss appropriated all his papers. Armed with these family documents, he travelled some years in Italy and Spain. No one knows how he lived. In 1907 he reappeared in Paris, a reserved, good looking, middle aged man, and, thanks to his assumed title of Marquis de Roquefeuille, moved in the best circles. While on a trip to Italy in 1909 he met the widow Comtesse de Bourmene, a wealthy widow and a most popular Paris hostess. So well he played his part that they were married at Paris. Charles de Muoy and Joseph Blondel, general attorney to the high court of justice, acted as witnesses to the wedding ceremony. The elderly bride and her husband, twenty years her junior, lived happily, dividing their time between their country house in Touraine, their Paris mansion, a house at Brussels, and a villa at Cannes. They entertained royally, and Invitations to their receptions, where everybody who counted in diplomat- is, political and social circles were to be found, were eagerly sought for. Their great popularity, was, however, the cause of the pseudo marquis' undoing. In December last a glowing report, of one of their receptions in the society papers attracted the attention of a member of the Roquefeuille family, who called on the false noble and asked him for an exp.anation. 'Ihe one he received did not satisfy him, and, in order to clear up the mystery, he placed the matter in the hands of the secret police, with the result that a warrant was issued for the arrest of the person, known as the Marquis de Roquefeuille. The adventurer, however, got wind of the danger, because neither he nor his wife could be found. They quit Paris, leaving no address. A sentence of five years passed on him during one of his many absences from Paris awaits the false nobleman, who will have to answer to a charge of bigamy, as it has been ascertained that he has a wife and three children living at Algiers. Although a bigamist, Reiss does not appear as such legally, having contracted both marriages under assumed names. Fish that is to be fried should be ordered to be sent early, as It cooks much better if previously rolled some time In a clean cloth to Insure perfect dryness.

I PRINCE RUPERT JOURNAL Friday, April 28, 1911. SPORTS BOXERS' DECLINE In the unceasing evolution of time as applied to the activity of athletes the career of a fighter is not of long duration as a rule. The training and physical exertion of long contests are a great drain on the endurance, while they are able to stand it for a reasonable number of years, fighters cannot last as long in their profession as actors or other persons not subjected to the same hard strain. The average career of a pugilist is about seven years—that is, the active fighting career. Many stall around the small towns for a much greater length of time, boxing with rising youngsters or old vets, for 150 and $100 purses. You may play It hard that when a young pug gets to this stage he is "gone." A large number of glove players have tided over the seven years, and some have passed beyond the ten- year mark, but these are indeed exceptions. Abe Attell has been in the ring nearly fourteen years, but he Is acknowledged the cleverest ring general that ever crushed resin under his feet. And, besides, Abe has not been forced to labor over- industriously. His head has done most of his fighting since he boxed George Dixon. A list of the fighters who have seen their best days and who may quit the big clubs before 1911 is over would probably comprise the following: Boer Unholz, Dave Deshler, Matty Baldwin, Biz Mac- kay, Al Delmonl, Willie Lewis, Dixie Kid, Mike Twin) Sullivan, Al Ku- biak, Battling Nelson, Dick Nelson, Jimmy Welsh and Danny Webster. There are a few more who might also be mentioned, but they are not bo very well known outside of their native hamlets. Boer Unholz was knocked out recently by Jack Redmond, a demon fighter, who couldn't destroy a helpless cripple with his fists. Redmond hit Unholz twice in the stomach and the Boer lay on the floor and groaned weakly. Unho'z has been in the fistic game nearly eight years. Dave Deshler is a veteran who will never go any higher than he is at present. He's still a good tough bay, but he has passed the stage where he can get big money. Biz Mackay of Ohio has been on the down grade for three years, and is now nearing the bottom. He gave Al' Delmont a fight in New York some weeks ago, but Delmont is not what he once was. Danny Webster of California once looked like the best good bantam in the world, and later was good fighting around 119 and 120 pounds, and, although now he can't be classed as a has-been, he's beyond redemption as a first- rater. Al Kubiak was touted as a heavyweight champion when he cracked out of the lumber camps of Michigan a few years ago, but his fighting has never won him any gold medals. All ne Is now is a trial horse, although he can put up a good thir-rate exhibition.

STALKER & WELLS 2ii Auric & Mride fe 2 way. Experience is tlie only essential lacking, but before long a few good trial horses will be engaged and Stuckey can test the worth of his blows and endurance against these. The most phenomenal feature of the "hope" is in his height, which measures no less than 6 feet 9 inches, five inches taller than the fast rising Carl Morris, of Sapulpa, Okla., and a half foot in length greater than the title holder, Jack Johnson. His reach is about the same as the dusky title holder, being 81% inches, while Morris boasts a span of 84 inches. His weight when in good condition due to training is just 236 pounds. Stuckey has a chest expansion of o % inches, measuring 39 inches deflated and 45% inches inflated, being 42% inches at normal. Prom shoulder to shoulder is a length of 52% inches, while the neck measures 16% and the waist 37 inches. ROLLER WANTS TITLE Dr. Roller, the Seattle grappler, Is anxious to prove he is the champion light heavyweight wrestler of America, and an effort is being made to match him with the Greek champion, Demetral, who recently made a good showing against Frank Gotch. LACROSSE THE WHITE HOPE On a farm not far from Jacksonville, Fla., there Is in training the "hope of the while man's hopes." The youth who some day in the near future counts on getting a trial for the highest honors In pugilism is Ostard W. Stuckey, 20 years of age, and a veritable giant, probably as big a man as ever stepped into the ring to don the padded mits. Stuckey's debut into the ranks of top-notch puglism is still remote. He is still training earnestly at the present time on the Florida ostrich farm, and if size and weight count for anything his climb Into tlie championship class Is practically halffinished before the start. Measurements of the lad this state will contribute to Ihe cause of winning back the crown now gracing the dome of Jack Johnson, when compared to other big men of the ring, appeal as fabulous. Carl Morris, who is even bigger than the black man whom he hopes to trim some day, appears small beside this young giant. His titular hopes do end with his size, however, for his ability to take punishment and also administer it in copious quantities is the talk of the fighting fraternity of these parts. Constant training has improved him wonderfully in the finer points of the game, and still more time under the able tutors is counted upon to turn out a finished boxer. Hacking will be plentiful for the aspiring youth. William milliard has him in charge at the present time, and predicts a whirlwind career for the lad once he gets under Tlie all-star aggregation promised by Con Jones for the Vancouver Lacrosse Club to battle for the world's supremacy in Canada's national game is nearing completion. The latest acquisition to the club's firing line is Harry Hyland of the Montreal Shamrocks. Con . Jones states that the clever home and favorite of the Irishmen in the metropolis, had decided to come through the Rockies to assist Vancouver in its determined effort to wrest the championship of lacrosse from the Royal City. Who now remains to assist in placing Vancouver on the highest pedestal of lacrosse in the Dominion? Speculation is rife as to one or possibly two places remaining to be filled, but when the gong sounds for the initial game in the league series it is safe to predict that the team fielded by Con Jones will provide a constellation in the firmament of lacrosse the like of which has never been handed together before in the history of the sport. Con makes no secret of his determination. The die has been cast and it will be a fight to the last ditch. No quarter will be asked or given. The Mlnto Cup is the stake, witli Vancouver tlie challenging combination. The stars have already given notice of their intention to turn out on demand, which means that within the next week or so there will be a ga'axy of talent at practice on the local lacrosse field which will more resemble a national co in hi nation than anything else. The decks are being cleared for action. Like a trainer getting his horse fit for a big race, Mr. Jones has supervised the collection of men who, upon their reputation, stand high In the realm of lacrosse today. The fact that Hyland has consented to come will undoubtedly be received as a severe blow in eastern Canada. Harry Hyland is an athlete of note In Montreal and the east. He Is a youngster who haB proved a veritable marvel on both the lacrosse field and also on the Ice where hockey has been played.
