Salmon Run in Skeena is Very Large Hut Labor Inadequate to Handle It This Year There arrived in the city last evening the Dominion Government fisheries patrol steamer Falcon from the Skeena with J.

Mr. Babcock, who is severing his connection with the provincial government on August 15, has been a model fishery commissioner.

MINISTER DELIGHTED Thomas Taylor is in Love New B.C. as Result'of Tour. With In Company With William Manson, the Member For the District, He Visited the Interior Popular Official of the Company Will Assume Office Here -Next Week Hon. Thomas Taylor, Minister ot Public Works, on his return to the city last week from a tour of the interior, expressed himself as delighted with all he had seen. In company with William Manson, M.P.P., the member for the district, the trip was made to Hazelton, thence down the Bulkley Valley a distance of 80 miles to Pleasant Valley, with stops at various points. The needs of the different centres were looked into carefully, meetings being held at the differ- .losepli Martin, Canadian Member of British House of Commons.

The necessity for acting promptly made It Impossible to wait until the Dominion government should be nsk- (Continued on Page Eight) On his recent visit to the Portland Canal mining district, J. Fred Ritchie not only examined properties round about Stewart, out pushed his way far beyond the location ot the mines that are now making a name for the camp and crossing the divide proved that there is an easy pass into the valley of the Naas. As a result of that trip and the general information that he was able to give as to the feasability of It as a railway route, the engineers representing the D. 1). Mann Interests in the north, are already investigating ilie route with the object of prolonging the line of their railway past in- working mines and Into I lie tewer areas. .Mr. Ritchie is delighted with tbe prospects in the new mining country. He lliinks thai the whole Portland Canal district, is destined to produce some of tiie richest mines that have yet been found. The mineral area Is by no means, he thinks, confined to the districts that have so far been exploited. In the country which he covered there were indications of rich deposits and prospectors are at any time liable to come upon very rich producers. The country needs at present in the worst way trails so that the exploratory work can be pushed forward. From what he saw of the pass through the divide separating the Stewart mining area from the valley of the Naas there is not the least difficulty to be encountered In building the telegraph line, which the Dominion government proposes, by that route. It Is, In fact, the right route for it. ent points so that the residents might explain their requirements. Mr. Taylor, who had never before visited the northern interior, was but carrying out the policy inaugurated by the McBride Government, whereby the different ministers make it a point to become thoroughly well acquainted with all sections of the province. The Lakelse and Kitsumkalum valleys appealed very strongly to the minister, who In conversation with a Journal representative expressed his unboundlng faith li. me future of these points owing to the fact that in addition to showing evidences ot having a very rich deep soil, they were advantageously situated with respect to Prince Rupert, and would have an ideal market. As a result of the representations made by the residents along the Skeena, Mr. Taylor agreed to go more fully into the question of bridging the river so as to give connection between the valleys and allowing the, Lakelse ami Copper River districts to couple up wiih Hie G, 'i'. i'. line as soon ns it is completed. The minister wil have an engii r go inn. the whole question making un estl- mate of the cost. Farther up the Skeena ami down the Bulkley, .Mr. Taylor was agree-j ably surprised in And such a vast area of rich land ready for settlement. He could see nothing hut a' great future for that country and tho; development of an immense local trade with Prince Rupert that would be reciprocally advantageous. Work is to be started on Die trail from Kitselas lo connect with the Copper River trail cut out last season by the government and which will give access to a rich mining district. At all the points visited, the Minister and Mr. Manson were well received, the residents recognizing tin, industry shown by the member of the district to keep in touch with ilicit many needs and readiness to do alt possible to obtain for them whatevei was necessary. Business In Victoria made It necessary for Mr. Taylor lo return south PROMOTION IN G.T. P. PREPARING ESTIMATE George A. McNicholl Has Been Made Super- City Council Is Grappling With Question intendent With Headquarters In This City. George A. McNicholl, who for a number of years has been purchasing agent of the G. T. P. on the Pacific coast, with headquarters in Vancouver, has been made superintendent, with headquarters In this city. The appointment takes date from July 1. The new superintendent will move to this city about July 10, and assume the duties connected with the office here. Mr. McNicholl is well known In this city, where In connection with his duties as purchasing agent, he has had occasion frequently to visit the place. Among the officers of the G. T. P. on this coast none have made more friends than he has, and his promotion to the new position will be exceedingly popular. He is one of the young men with whom the G. T. P. is filling the various offices at its control, and which is destined to make the management an energetic one. Mr. McNicholl is a methodical worker and is thoroughly trained in the railway business. His connection with the G. T. P. is very close, having been identified with the head office staff from the very beginning of the transcontinental work. Entering the head office very young, he rose rapidly. In the early days of the enterprise he was secretary to Frank W. Morse, then general manager, and in that capacity has covered the whole system time and time again. With his appointment to the position of purchasing agent on this coast he entered very energetically into the duties of the office giving very general satisfaction not only to the officials of the company but also making friends of all the business men with whom he came in contact. In the early days of his residence on the coast he was for a considerable time the only official of the company on the Pacific, and important duties often had to be assigned to him. His business ability at such times made itself manifest and he assisted materially in popularizing the company which he represented. Mr. McNicholl will not be accompanied by Mrs. McNicholl, who will remain with the family In Vancouver ior a time until her husband b< comes settled in his new home. —, o Winning Yachts of Expenditure for the Remainder of Year. Streets Committee Puts tbe General Cost of .Municipal Government nt $54,600 For Year The §clty council is making progress towards the striking of the rati' for the present year, a very necessary feature of local government. The streets committee has already gone into the whole question of revenue and expenditure in connection with thai branch of the service which is by far the largest consumer of funds. The expenditure is put at $54,500 for this year, with a revenue of $1,000 independent of that to be raised by the levy on the taxable property. The estimated expenditure looks small, but it must be remembered that the council has endorsed the local improvement plan of carrying out the improvements to the streets HAYS WINS CASE (Special to The Journal) Vancouver, July 5.—Judgment was yesterday morning handed out in favor of Chas.

The growth of the country in population, ii production, in transportation business, has been marked. There has not been a corresponding growth in the facilities for transportation. "An enormous volume of new traffic is being developed by the industrial advance of the country between the Mississippi river and the Pacific coast. All of this must seek its market; and much of it will be added to the total that already over-burdens our terminals. "In the great markets of the eastern half of the country, in New York, Cleveland, Buffalo, Chicago, the ei'isis has already arrived. Traffic growth and terminal congestion are applying the brakes to business progress. This means trouble for the redly affected and of all the industries that depend directly or indirectly upon cheap and speedy carriage for the commodities which they buy and sell. It is a problem for everybody, since probably not one business man in the whole country would fail to feel the disastrous effects if It were to be neglected for the next five years as it has for the last ten,, and to blight every form of activity by paralyzing the whole trade." The words of Mr. Hill have peculiar interst to residents of Prince Rupert where terminal facilities on a large scale for the future are being installed by a big company. There can be little doubt that the G. T. P. uas profltted by the lessons of the past just as the lines which Mr. Hill controls have done. The company is therefore providing against the difficulties which have been so serious in older centres. QUESTION OF BIGHTS those latitudes have been officially notified from Washington that they I'.

Interest in B. C. Is Being Aroused Among London Capitalists The financial editor of the London Dally Mail, Mr. Charles Duguid, has for some weeks past been urging British capitalists to turn their attention to the great opportunities for remunerative investment offered by the timber lands of British Columbia. In a recent edition of the Daily Mail, Mr. Duguid, who Is numbered amongst the most prominent financial authorities in the city of London, stated that there was certain to be a boom in British Columbia timber. With a view of placing intending British buyers of timber in possession of all possible information, the Daily Mail lias engaged the services of Mr. H. Marshall, whose name as a timber expert is a household one In London timber circles. Mr. Marshall is now here as a special commissioner for tbe Daily Mail, and is engaged in inspecting various tracts of timber lands which have been offered him. It is expected that a large British corporation will shortly be organised to acquire and develop certain tracts of timber land in the province. The Daily Mail itself has already shown great enterprise in Canada, and quiet recently established extensive paper mills in Newfoundland where all the paper used in its own and affiliated publications is manufactured. THIS CITY WILL BE CENTRI Yukon Trade is to Find Its Base in Prince Rupert Says Mr. Hartman best known traders In Hudson's Bay lias been In Ottawa, and In an Inter view declared his Intention to Ignore the Washington order. Isaac J. Hartman, postmaster of Dawson, Y. T., who is making his first trip out of that territory in three years, states in an interview that the development pt the Yukon country Is practically in its infancy so far as the opening up of the valuable mineral deposits are concerned, because of the difficulty met with through inefficient transportation facilities. "When the Grand Trunk railway is completed and we can secure a nearer base of supplies than is now possible," he said, "the work of opening up the great mineral deposits which are known to exist, will be greatly facilitated. Several of the properties now being worked average $20 a ton from the grass roots down and new prospects are being reported every day." "Last summer an experienced miner was sent out by a home company to prospect in the Rocky mountains, 300 miles east of Dawson, and when he returned reported the discovery of some wonderfully rich fields of gold, copper, Iron and coal In tbe vicinity of Peel river. Samples of the ore brought in averaged 25 per cent, copper and 86 per cent pure iron. The exact location of Ibis field is still being withheld from the public and will not be made known until the company doing the prospecting is able to affirm hie report. There is no question, however, but. what the whole northern Bectlon of the country is underlaid with richer mines In all the different minerals than have yet I n opened up."

The fact that the number of persons tried for indictable offences reached a figure never before attained, Is attributed largely to trade depression and the prevalence of unemployment. The total was 68,116, as compared with 61,381 in 1907. In 1857, the first year in which statistics were collected, it was 54,667, and the highest number recorded in the intervening period was 63,286 in 1882. Briefly, the main facts of the year's returns may be thus summarized:— 1. Crimes against the person showed an increase, unimportant in amount. 2. Crimes against property, both trivial and serious, increased very largely, the probable reasons being distress and unemployment prising from depression of tiuila uutl labor disputes. 3. For the same reasons, vagrancy increased and drunkenness diminished, but otherwise iiun-i.ndictable offences showed no important changes. Ten years ago the number of persons tried for indictable offences was smaller than tt had been for nearly a quarter of a century, the figure for 1890 being 50,494, whilst the annual average for the five years ending with 1S9U was only 51,050. Since 1899 the figures have progressively increased, except for a slight cheek in 1906. The increase' in 190S over the figures for 1907 was 6,735, or nearly 11 per cent; as compared, with the average of the five years ending with 1907, the increase was S.051, or nearly 13 per cent. In only one previous year has the rate of increase in 190S been exceeded, namely, in 1861, when the figures were higher than in the preceding year by 7,544 or 15 per cent. Class Not Increasing Notwithstanding these somewhal disquieting figures, there is no evidence that tiie criminal class is Increasing. Crime has Increased very liiih- iii hull a century, ami taking Into accounl the greater opportunities open nowadays to an individual of criminal tendencies through the greater profusion of wealth and personal possessions on the one hand, and, on the other hand, tbe reduction I by the decrease in the average length of sentences) in the periods for which he is forcibly restrained from crime, it may reasonably be inferred that the members of the predatory classes are appreciably fewer than in 1857, In spite of the fact that in the interim population has almost doubled. The connection betweeri crime and unemployment is indicated by the fact that the increase was mainly concentrated in the counties affected by trade disputes. Chief constables whose views as to the causes of the increase of crime in 1908 have been ascertained, almost unanimously ascribe it lo lack of employment. In some cases the influx of unemployed workmen or tramps seeking or pretending to seek, employment on public works, at fruit-picking, etc., is mentioned as the cause. It is pointed out that where unemployment has not caused more crime it has caused more prose- tions for vagrancy. In Sunderland, for instance, the augmentation of the number of offences and prosecutions was due to petty pilfering of coal, iron, etc., from the railway, docks, etc., during tiie acute depression in the shipbuilding and ship repairing trades. The additional offences in the colliery districts arc almost all of this nature, The trifling character ot the offences is shown by tbe fact that the total of the property stolen in 211 larcenies in warrlngton was only .C3S9 16s 2d. Some chief constables charge the Increase of offences to the growing leniency of the sentences Inflicted upon old'offenders, to the reduction In the length of sentences, to the remission ni' shorl sentences earned by good conduct in prison, and to the i titution for imprisonmenl ot ,,ili -I- modes nl' tri ai ing o fenders. Classifying Crli es Although the great built of tl e additional offences were of a .comparatively trifling character, there were proportionately large addit.'ons to the headings for crimes of greatel magnitude. On the assumption that of tiie breaches of the law which may in some circumstances be tried summarily, the more serious are, as a rule, tried on indictment, the number of persons sent for trial for serious crimes In 1908 was 14,122, an Increase of 1,523, or 12 per cent, as compared with 1907. This followed a gradual rise from 10,149 In 1900 to 12,575 in 1906. The increase in the number of cases of burglary, robbery, receiv- RAILWAY CONSTRUCTION ACTIVE IN CANADA •*** A careful consideration of contracts let, and engagements entered into with the Dom'inon and Provincial Governments, shows that the various Canadian railway companies expect to complete and bring into operation of about 7,000 miles of new lines within the next five years. This estimate is made on the basis of contracts already entered into and construction work immediately in sight, and does not Include various projects which may reach the active construction stage within that time, neither does it include the mileage of yard and terminal lines, and the second track work in progress or contemplated by the C. P. R., says the Railway & Marine World. From the contracts already in hand It would appear that track will be laid this year on not less than 1,500 miles, about tne same as last year; and from the engagements entered Into with the different governments, it appears as If there will be very little diminution of that rate of rail\v..,v building for the following three or four years,. British Columbia will probably show the heaviest Increase in mileage during the next few years, for it has contracted with the Canadian Northern railway to build 600 miles, and with the Kettle Valley railway to build about 230 miles by the end of 1914. The C. P. R. has either under contract on Vancouver Island or In contemplation about 200 miles of line, the G. T. P. Ry. will have under contract the remaining 500 miles of its system within a year; and the Great Northern railway, through its subsidiary company, the Vancouver, Victoria and Eastern railway, has a considerable mileage under contract and survey. In Alberta and Saskatchewan the Canadian Northern railway, and the G. T. Pacific railway are under agreement with the Dominion and Provincial governments lo build over 1,500 miles of main and branch lines, and of these, some mill miles have been placed undei contract, in Hum' new provinces, ih.' nexl Eew years will sec a large mileage constructed of the Alberta and Great Waterways railway, on which work is at present temporary suspended; the line to Hudson Bay, for which the Dominion Parliament has granted a first construction vote, and the Hudson Bay and Pacific railway, for which surveys are at present in progress in view of, as the managing director says, a start this summer. Next to these provinces, Ontario will show the largest increase in mueage for the next few SURVEY HUDSON BAY Officer Well Known Here Will Have Charge of Hydrographic Vty. ii. Parrlzeau is Going by Schooner to Nelson River—Enrl Grey's Trip years, principally in connection with the Canadian Northern Ontario railway and the National Transcontinental railway. The National Transcontinental railway, when completed, will extend from Moncton, N.B., to Prince Rupert, 3,550 miles. The first portion of this line, which is being constructed by the Dominion government, through a Commission, extends from Moncton to Winnipeg. Contracts have been let for the grading, etc., for the whole distance of 1804 miles, and upon this mileage there are 742 miles of grading and 1,183 miles of track laying to be completed within the next two or three years, In this part of the line is situated the Quebec bridge, for which the Dominion government is preparing to receive tenders. The western division of the line which is being constructed by the G. T. Pacific Railway company, extends from Winnipeg to Prince Rupert, 1746 miles. Of this mileage track has been laid on 915 miles from Winnipeg to Wolfe Creek, west of Edmonton, Alia., and a train service is being operated to Edmonton. A contract has been let for over 200 miles of the line easterly from Prince Rupert, and track is being laid on the first 100 miles, while contracts are expected to be let during the year for the remaining 500 miles, situated almost entirely in British Columbia. A subsidiary company, known as the G. T. Pacific Branch Lines company, has just placed on the British market an issue of £1,270,500 of four per cent bonds, guaranteed by the province, for the construction of branch lines in Saskatchewan as follows:—Regiua to the International boundary near Portal, 155 miles; Regina to .Moose Jaw, 110 miles; from Blggar, in a south-westerly direction, 50 miles; Prince Albert branch, 1J o miles; Cul Knife brunch 50 mil s. These lines are i<> lie huill in addition lo others previously arranged for, upon which 55 miles of track was laid in 1909. Contracts have l"'i .i let for an exti i slon of 30 miles mi the Melville '-. oi kton line; •iii miles on the Melville-Balcavres 11m , and it is ex] ected that work will be gone on with the projection of this line southerly from Regina to the International boundary this year, for the grading of about fifty miles from Biggar to Battleford. Under an agreement with the Alberta government, the company has undertaken to build about 600 miles of line in that province, and has started construction on one line, viz., from Tofield lo Calgary, upon which track wasl tracts have been I laid to Cambrose, 20 miles in 1909. A contract lias been let for the extension of tne line into Calgary this year. The Canadian Northern Ontario railway has under construction 100 miles from Toronto to Trenton, as the first section of its line to Ottawa. It is expected that contracts will be placed during the year for the balance of the line, and also for the grading of the line from Toronto to Buffalo, along the Toronto-Niagara Power Company's right of way. The extension of the line from north of Sudbury to Port Arthur Is projected, but it is not likely that any extensive work will be dene on It for a year or two. In a recent interview, President Mackenzie stated that the C. X. R. expected to add some 600 miles to its lines on the western prairies this year. There were about 200 miles of grading done in 1909, upon which track was not laid, and contracts have been let for 230 miles of new work in Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta. Other contracts will be let in the near future. It is however, in British Columbia, that the C. N. It. will, through the C. N. Pacific railway, be most active during Hie next few years. The company lias undertaken to build (100 miles by 1914, of which 50 miles are to bo constructed on the mainland, and 2u miles on Vancouver Island during the current year. So far as other Mackenzie, Mann & Company lines are concerned, the only one upon which construction will be gone on with this year is the Portland Canal Short Line, from Stewart along the valley of the Bear River, for fifteen miles. The C. P. 11. construction programme for the current year, includes in addition to the laying track and the completion of lines graded in 1909, the building of a second track between Winlnpeg and Portage La Prairie, and the construction of 459 ni'les on six different lines, in Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia, for which con- i acts have lei I'm- compl it Ion this season.

The Dominion government has provided funds for making a start on the 600 mile line from Pas Mission to Hudson Bay, and the Hudson Bay and Pacific railway promises a start on us projected line between Prince Albert and Fort Churchill this year. The Great Northern railway, through various subsidiary companies, has a large programme in Canada, but the only point at which active construction is going on is between Abbotsford and Hope, B.C., /lending decision upon the question of tunneling the Hope Mountains or constructing a round about line over them. .The probabilities of construction on G. X. R. lines is always an unknown quantity, and it is Impossible to conjecture what is likely to be done. Of the lines outside the above the Dominion government has under construction a 10 mile branch of the Prince Edward Island railway; a diversion of 'J miles at Sydney Mines, X.S., and a 10 mile cut-off at Chatham, N.B., on the Intercolonial railway; the Dominion Atlantic railway has in contemplation the constructloi of a 35 mile branch from Ceutre- ville, of which 10 miles will, if is said, be placed under contract at an early date. Construction is being pi • eeeded with on the Ha Ha Bay railway from St. Alphonse, Que., about 24 miles; the Central Oilario railway is building a 10 miles extension northerly from May.ioith, and the A^goma Central and Hml-uri Bay nrlwcy will connect up its Mlchipi- lolen branch with the C P.

In the same period only 3,748 miles of new track were laid in the whole of the United States Second track, etc., is not included in the figures given for either country. The schooner Chrissie G. Thomey, purchased by the Dominion government for an exploring expedition in the north, is sailing from Halifax for Nelson River, Hudson Bay, this week. The company will consist of six of a crew and an engineering staff of six. The vessel will remain in Hudson Bay as long as the weather permits, returning to Halifax September 1. The engineering staff in charge of II. Parrlzeau of Ottawa, will remain until the ice forms and then start overland for Winnipeg. Mr. Parrlzeau is well known here. In company with .Mr. Dodge he was engaged In the first hydrographlc work done in this harbor. Later when Capt. Musgrave was put in charge of the work on the Pacific coast, Mr. Parrlzeau remained as his chief surveyor, putting in several seasons in the waters about Prince Rupert.' He is regarded as a very capable officer and his promotion lo the charge of tbe work he Is now on is well merited. The government steamer Stanley, fitting out for Fort Churchill and Cartwright, will follow a couple ot weeks later. The government steamer Earl Grey will go to Pictou and will proceed thence In August to bring the governor-general home from Hudson Bay to Quebec after his overland trip to those waters. The country which His Excellency is to visit is closely identified with the early history of this continent For years it has remained almost as the fur traders first found it. Although the settlement of Hudson Bay may be said to have commenced with the establishment of Rupert's Fort in 1008, the present white .population of that immense district does not exceed three hundred souls. Even these art mainly a transient population of fur traders and. their families. The forts today are scarcely any larger than they were when tbe fur trade of this district was started, while the majority of them contain fewer white men owing to the fact that half-breeds and Indians have been trained to do work which al first had to be done by a staff of while laborers. Pur trade posts are the exception proving a rule in commercial life, thai the prosperity of a ilace can be judged by Its Increase, for the ..mailer a fur trade centre can be kepi the more prosperity It THE WOMAN'S PLACE Address Given by Miss Edith Murray Down of Rossland in Vancouver.

"Woman's Work and Woman's Place" was the title of an address delivered recently in Vancouver by Mrs. Edith Murray Dow, of Rossland, under the auspices of the Local Option League. Mrs. Dow is a speaker of no mean ability, and she proved her thoroughness by the skill with which she led her audience from the woman's place in the home to the woman's place in the world. "It was an old saying," said the speaker, "that a woman's place was in her own home, but the business of a woman was lo make home every place siie entered and to enter every place," Speaking as a woman to women, as a mother to mothers, she pointed out how children looked to the mol Ii er to make the home, Ii was they ho toi It ■■ ii 11- ■ iillntet ■. n a hed i be dirty tai es and smoothed out the h d halt and little hi well, i omo- ■ the fad that they were m il h wel ed hi I on them and they realized I of their re sponsibility 11 took the ver; ' that was h to moel it. actual pin leal ol tl too much foi mi of ;. em.

Bui it was too late to Btarl making a companion of !i boy when he was five years old. In simple ami tender language the speaker pointed oul the utter necessity of maintaining no false modesty in explaining to their little ones the mysteries of life. Parents were often confused and non-plussed by the questions of their children. There was nothing for it but to tell the children the truth No mother could stand being with her children all the time. She need ed a little social life. But she could not afford to be away from them too much. No church work, no mission ary work, no social reform work could take the place of the children Parents, said the speaker, should bo chums with their children, and let them feel that everything that concerned them concerned their parents also. No awakened mother could stop and think that she had no interest outside her own life. She must care about the schools which her children attended and even the trustees of tli6 same. And if she sent away her girl to boarding school she should know who was to bo her room-mate. Passing to the burning subject ol the day, she believed thai if the ballot were put into tho woman's hands the restricted district would be wiped out.

There are certain broad resemblances between the two which justify the application of the title "Tbe Canada of the South" to the Latin Republic. The population of the two countries is much about the same, and the rate of development of the one corresponds fairly closely to that of the other. Canada holds her own In most respects, but in some she will have to look to her laurels. A New York contemporary has been drawing a comparison between the two in various directions, it points out that while In the five years between 1902 and 1907 the mileage of Canadian railways increased from 18,^68 to 22,452; In the five years from 1905 to 1910 the mileage of the Argentine railways Increased from 13,000 to 17,000, the Invested capital in the latter year being estimated at $900,000,000. Federal revenue in Canada during the years 1902-S rose from $68,000,- 000 to $80,000,000, or about 38 per cent; and that in Argentina during the years 1903-7 from $75,000,000 to $107,000,000, or about 43 pel cent. In 1900 the total imports and exports for Canada and Argentina were respectively $320,000,000 and 259,000,000; in 1905 tile figures were $453,000,000 and $509,000,- 000, Argentina having made an increase of 96 per cent in five years, and (alien the lead. In 190S the figures were: Canada, $004,000,000, and Argentina $638,000,000. British readers may also be reminded that the two countries are particularly close rivals for the supply of wheal to the British market. Canada last year selling 17,530,145 cwt., and Argentina 19,583,000 cwt. Canada, however, easily holds her own as an exporter of Hour to Great Britain, having last year supplied 2,249,201 cwt., a against Argentina's 86,600 cwt. Nor can it be forgotten how large a pari Bi Itish capital has played fn the development of Argentina British Investors, however, have already begun to see that it is to theft own Interest, as well as that of the Umpire, to devote more attention to Canada than to its southern rival. o ■— The demand for Human hair has mand for human !,..•' has become so become so great a substitute of vegetable fibre has been introduced.

Pattullo Informed the members of thai body thai representatives of Insurance companies had urged the adoption by the city of a sail water system for lire protection. Aid. Pattullo simply threw out the suggestion stating that such a system was recognized as of prime Importance, lie did not suggest that he would favor it, but thought it was worthy of consideration. Like everything else affecting the welfare of the city, we believe this is worthy of careful consideration, but we believe that it will be found at the present stage of the city's development that the installation of such a system is beyond the requirements of the place. A high pressure system such as this suggested is an expensive proposition. At best it can only be used as a means of lighting (ire and be confined to the business section. Prince Rupert has an important question to deal with relative to the general water supply. That question has to be faced almost at once and we are satisfied that that will be enough for a few years without the duplicating over a part of the city of another water system. The money that would be spent on the high pressure salt water system can, we feel satisfied, be employed to far better advantage if expended in connection with the general water systm which will serve the double purpose of a domestic system and a means of fire protection. It is true in a wooden city like this must be for some time yet the question of fire protection is a serious one. Exacting regulations must be passed by the council and he stringently enforced if the place is to avoid heavy loss by fire. On the other hand there are factors in this city that tend to lessen the risk very materially. The humid atmosphere during a very considetaDle portion of the year is an advantage in this respect. With stringent regulations enforced so as to avoid the chances of a conflagration starting, the risk in this city for insurance companies is not nearly as great as in many places where more elaborate systems for fighting fire exists. It has become recognized that the only effective way of fighting fire is to be in shape to stamp it out in the incipient stages. Once a fire has secured a hold, it is practically impossible to extinguish it no matter what the equipment is nor whatever city in which it breaks out. Under these conditions the great requisite is to adopt rules and secure equipment that will in the one case render it very unlikely that a fire will break out, and on the other hand will provide for the department being on the ground very quickly. With such conditions, Prince Rupert is not, in our opinion, a specially heavy risk, ft is, In fact, from the standpoint of the insurance companies, a good risk. Companies are unreasonable very often. Thoroughly organized, the insurance corporations are inclined to enforce upon municipalities far too stringent requirements in return for the risk taken by them. It has been found necessary fur Boards of Trade, city councils and other public bodies in he continually on the alert in frustrate the companies in their unreasonable demands. Prime Ruperl will he no exception to the rule, and th.' utmost cure will have to be taken to avoid an injustice being worked on the city. The building bylaw the city council is putting through is being care- tully considered so as to avoid danger from lire. With it put in force Prince Rupert will be readily capable of protection, and the representatives of the underwriters should not be unreasonable in their demands. o After a terrible experience in which he fell and slid 1,500 feet down a glacier on Bitter creek, Jasper Kaeger, a prospector, still lives, says the Portland Canal Miner.

Bowser, acting premier, when interviewed recently stated his reasons for refusing to suspend the enforcement of the Companies Act against which there has been a vigorous protest. "In the first place," he said, "It would certainly hardly be my place as attorney-general to suspend the enforcement of an act against the expressed will of the legislature of the province. The provisions of the act requiring outside companies doing business in this province to take out licences or to register here were Reted in justice to local companies. It requires that if these outside companies do business after July 1 without registration, they shall be liable to a fine of not less than $20, and further than that they cannot sue for debts contracted in this province. "As an example of what I mean we will say that a firm has a sum of money invested in a biscuit or candy factory here. It employs labor, pays its taxes to the city and the province, and so helps to bear its share of the burden of government as well as adding to the prosperity of the company. But in the east or in the United Stales is another company carrying on a similar business. They are probably able to get cheaper labor and material, and ship in here in competition with local firms without paying anything to the revenues of the province whatever. Can anyone say that Is fair? I consider that they should at least pay their registration fees, and I told the delegation that waited on me yesterday that the act would come In force on July 2 as It was Intended that It should." "Another thing to be looked at is this. Suppose some trouble arises between a local mercantile house and one of these outsiders, and the local company wants to sue, Is it fair that they should be compelled to go to the trouble and expense of going outside the province to do so? If they have any trouble with a local firm they can sue right here, and If a company is registered here they can Published Twice a Week Third Avenue and McBride St. In the development of a city or a district the newspaper plays a most important part.

This is the first public function of the kind attempted by the Eagles in Prince Rupert, and it was agreed by all who attended last evening that as entertainers the society had nothing to learn. The ball was held In Mclntyre's Hall, which was quite artistically decorated for the occasion, the eagle, the emblem of the society, being conspicuous. Kauffman's oichestra provided a good programme of dance music and the floor was in excellent shape. Joined with the fact that about two hundred were present, there was nothing lacking to make the event highly enjoyable. A delightful supper was served and every one heartily enjoyed themselvs. LATEST FASHIONS Many colored waists are seen. One sees leather-lined motor coats. The Greek coiffure is the most fashionable. Tbe hat with the ribbon bow is quite popular. The two-toned silks continue in great demand. Crashes and grass linens are well thought of. Two materials frequently apear in one summer gown. The newest sleeves are slightly more bell-shaped. Ostrich feathers entirely cover the crowns of many hats. Cloth top shoes come in colors to match tailored costumes. The newest colored handkerchiefs are in polka dot designs. Some braid novelties show touches of leather in their make-up. Cushion covers of suede leather are exceedingly popular this year. There is no sign of a wane In the popularity of changeable silks. Surah silk, such a favorite of a generation or more ago, is again seen. Crystal fringe and embroidery In crystal beads are used on evening gowns. o Gerald—I know that I am not good enough for you. Geraldine—If you and I agree as well on everything, we shall get along beautifully together. The Ministerial Association last evening forwarded lo the city council a resolution passed at a meeting of that body, praying for the early consideration of the question of locating a cemetery for the city. The association will be advised that thb matter Is receiving attention. o A strong lodge of the 1. O. O. P. is being formed in Prince Rupert. There are many Oddfellows In the city and a move was recently started to organize locally. The formal ceremony in connection with it will take place within a few days, the meeting place being the K. of P. hall. All Oddfellows in the city are being invited to assist in the formation of the local lodge. o There is a laudable ambition on the part of many young men in the city to establish records for running. Last evening "Billy" Bullock-Webster, with a fame extending through the Okanagan decided a bet over a three mile course, winning his money easily. It was wagered that he could not make the distance in twenty- seven minutes. He accomplished It in twenty-five minutes, much to the sorrow of many Empire employees.

L ** HTTJg _ Tuesday, July 5, 1910 PRINCE RUPERT JOURNAL JOHNSON IS STILL WORLD'S CHAMPION Negro Pugilist Proved Too Strong an Opponent for the Old Time Master of the Ring, Jim Jeffries—Fight Decided in the Fifteenth Round. Jack Johnson, the negro, is still the world's heavy-weight champion, having knocked out James .1. Jeffries in the fifteenth round al Reno yesterday. At the beginning of the thirteenth round experts at the ringside passed out the verdict that Jeffries must simply slay and not light if he hoped for any chance to stay the limit. The fight was one-sided from the start. The negro blocked the old champion's blows at every stage of the game and punished him severely in the last five rounds of the fighting. Johnson'went at his man savagely. In quick succession he delivered three knock-downs. Jeffries each time falling against, or into the ropes. As Jeffries staggered to a foot-hold after the third time he had been sent to the floor Johnson sprang at him like a tiger, and with a succession of lefts to the jaw sent Jeffries down and out. Johnson was seconded by Billy Delaney, X. Cotton, Doc Rurey, and Dave Hills. Jeff's seconds were Jim Corbett, Abe Attell, Joe Ch'oyenski, Bob Armstrong, Eugene Vancourt, Farmer Burns, Roger Cornell and Sam Ber- ger. Jeff's timekeeper was Bill Kal- lagher. Tex Rickard announced that the men were fighting for a purse of $101,000; sixty per cent to the winner and forty per cent to the loser. Rickard stated that he had given a bonus of $10,000 to each man. The fight began with odds 10 to 6 on Jeffries. By rounds the fight went as follows:— Round 1—The meu refused to shake hands. Johnson sailed in with great fury. After a long opening session sparring, Johnson shot his left to the face and they clinched. Johnson pushed Jeffries back. Johnson swung his left to jaw as Jeff roughed it at close quarters, the big black shot his left again to the face. The men locked arms and In the break Jeff clouted his man twice with two short-arm lefts to the face and the crowd yelled. "Why don't you, laugh?" shouted Corbett at Johnson, and the latter winked and smiled back at the former cuampion. The men continued In locked embrace and as the gong terminated the round Johnson playfully tapped Jeff on the shoulder and went to his corner smiling. Jeff told his seconds to let him alone; he would tight his own battle. Round 2—Johnson came up chattering like a magpie, but Jeff only smiled. "He wants to fight a little bit, Jim," yelled Corbett. "You bet I do, Mistah Corbett." As Jeff held on, Johnson clouted him with a wicked right to the jaw. As the men separated from a clinch Jeff swung his right to the stomach, which Johnson retaliated with two ripping left uppercuts to jaw. Men closed together, Jeff leaning against the champion with sheer weight of his shoulders. It was a case of strength against cleverness, with the Nubian having the better of it. Johnson and Corbett jollied each other. Round 3.—Johnson came up slowly. Johnson jabbed left twice to face as they clinched in. Johnson ripped left upper cut lo jaw and neatly blocked the boiler-maker's onslaught. As the men circled about, the ring, Johnson kept up a constant cross-fire of conversation. The men separated and Johnson jabbed thrice with left to the face and whipped short-arm right to lace. Jeff rushed but Johnson blocked him neatly with vicious left to the face. Johnson patted Jeff on the back as the round closed. Johnson had a good advantage, but there was not much power behind his stings. Round 4—Jeff missed left swing, Johnson rushed away, leaving a stab to face. Johnson taunted Jeff constantly. "Don't rush, Jim. Don't you hear what I am telling you," shouted Johnson, backing him up with right upper-cut to jaw. Jeff got in right to mouth and the blood started flowing. "First blood for Jeffries," yelled the crowd. Johnson shot a hard left to the mouth, and almost wrested his man against the ropes. The smile had not faded from Johnson's face. Jeff forced the champion against the ropes with a half-dozen short-arm body punches, which found their mark in rapid suc cession. In response Johnson shot right to jaw. It was Jeff's round. Round 5—Johnson came up with a volley of words. Jeff.paid no attention to his remarks, but rushed in close and they wrestled around for a spell. Jeff shot two rights to body, which Johnson responded to with a left upper-cut, cut ling Jeff's lip a bit. Johnson a moment later drove his right to jaw and then followed it with two left upper-cuts to same place. Johnson jarred the white man with straight left to the mouth and they clinched. Both men were bleeding at the mouth. Suddenly Jeff sent the black's bead back a foot with a straight left tq mouth, and the black looked serious as he took his seat, not without giving the boiler-maker the customary love tap. No damage. Round 6—"I am going to mix with him now," said Jeff. Three lefts radiated from the champion's shoulder, catching Jeff on face in each instance, and the blood seeped from Jeff's left cheek bone. Both men fought cautiously. A ring-side fan asked Johnson if he would like a drink. "Too much on hand now," replied the champion, as he ripped in three left upper-cuts to the white's jaw. Jeff waded in but met with a nasty left uper-cut that closed his right eye tight. Johnson followed with two similar punches, and the blood spouted from the retired champion's nose as he took his seat. Jeff's seconds worked heroically on his damaged optic. Johnson's round. Round 7—Jeff came with a ferocious rush and they clinched. Long sparring followed without a blow being struck. Jeff's eye was badly bruised, but he never lost his head. Johnson laughed as Jeff assayed a right swing at close quarters. With the men locked in embrace, Johnson' jolted his man three times over the damaged right eye, and followed this with right upper-cut to jaw. Jeff stopped Johnson's bickerings with straight right to jaw. Johnson countered with left and right to sore face. The bell clanged, with honors on Johnson's side, and Jeff looking badly cut up as he took his corner. Round 8-—Jeff rushed In and the black drove his left to mouth and shortly after shot in two straight lefts to face that carried force behind them. "Hello, jiuimy," shouted the black, "did you see that one?" as they closed in without damage. Jeff shouted "Break away, Johnson." but Johnson did not break, and laughed as Jeffries missed a vicious left swing. Earlier Jeff, at close range, had worked In two rights to the body that failed to daze the negro. Jeff pastered his man about the ring, and the bell rang. Round 9—Johnson kept up constant conversation in his corner before coming up to the scratch in this round. He hooked left to Jeff's face with great force and continued to hurl tersely framed sentences at Jim Jorbett. Johnson hooked another left to the jaw that carried with it a world of power. They clinched. Jeff crouched and Johnson drove him with a wicked left full tilt In the stomach. A moment later he sent in two left jabs to the mouth and eye, but Jeff apparently paid little attention to these blows. The round ended in Johnson's favor and with Jeff's face bleeding from several places. Round 10—Not much life marked the coming to the center of the ring. Johnson shot two lefts to the head and follows:! this with a short-arm right to the jaw. A long clinch, mixed with wrestling, followed. Jeff swung his right around the body. The men confined themselves mostly to Infighting and short streaks of wrestling. Johnson always on the alert to land a punch. Johnson whipped two lefts to the jaw and a right upper-cut to the jaw made Jeff yell "Oh" audibly. Johnson peppered away with his left and clearly out-boxed his sturdy opponent. It was Johnson's round. Round 11—Johnson smashed Jeff time and again and sent in right and left to the jaw, and the big boiler- maker fought back wildly. Johnson swung a terrible right, more of an upper-cut, to the jaw, and followed this with a clean right upper-cut to the jaw, and Jeff almost weakened Johnson with a left upper-cut. Jeff's face was a bad looking itght at this stage, but he suddenly electrified the crowd by making a round-end rally, I Marine News of the Coast f IMPROVED SERVICE Word has been received from N'ew Zealand thai the steamer Zealandla hud been acquired by the company lor the Canadian-Australian service, and she will leave Sydney on her lirsi trip to Canada on August l, arriving in Vancouver Annus: 24.

Round 12—The men clinched after the black had missed a hard left for the jaw, remaining in this position half a minute. As Jeff rushed in Johnson met him with a straight left and right upper cut to the jaw. With breast to breast the black swung bard at Jeff with left to body and face, all the time keeping up a conversation with Corbett. Johnson cleverly blocked blows intended for the body and sent home a straight right to the sore mouth, starting the blood afresh. The negro shot a straight left to the face and then sent his man's head back a foot with a similar blow. Jeff went to his corner spitting blood and with the honors against him. Jeff's seconds were ominously quiet at this stage. On the other hand the Johnson fairly hummed with life and hustle. Round 13—Dealing out severe punishment with every lap, the round ended with Corbett advising Jeff to cover up and stay away. Jeff stared blankly into the middle of the ring and appeared to be in bad shape. Round 14—Jeff was met with a straight left as he got up and a moment later another spiteful jab went to the mouth. Johnson placed bis stomach within Jeff's reach and tauntly cried "Ain't that a nice belly, Jim? Why don't you hit it?" Jim did not. They closed in, Corbett importuning nis man to beware of the dangerous upper-cuts. Jeff's right eye was almost totally closed at this stage. Johnson sent some rapid fire of left jabs to mouth and the big white shook his head. "I'm as clever as you are, Jim," shouted Johnson to Corbett, and immediately an exchange of repartee followed. Jeff's seconds looked blue. Round 15—A clinch opened the round, and then Johnson rushed his man to the ropes, flooring him. The white man was counted out as he bung on to the ropes and the crowd rushed into the ring before the time keeper could count him out. o Local News the Marconi system of wireless telegraph.

At the council meeting on Saturday night the announcement was made by Mayor Stork that the telephone petition had been signed by C. D. Rand and Mr. Aldous, representing two very strong syndicates holding property in Prince Rupert. The property which these men represented, had an assessed value of about $300,000, which makes a ma- jtorial addition to the list. >;. * * Sol Cameron, of tue Westholme Lumber Company, after spending a few days in Prince Rupert, lefl on Friday evening again for Stewart in The C. G. S. Lillooet, Capt. Mus- grave, has spent several days in port, leaving again today to resume her hydrographlc work in Dixon Entrance. The steamer spent Dominion Day here and yesterday coaled up for the ensuing month. For some time Capt. Musgrave and his surveyors were engaged in Masset Inlet. Lately the vessel steamed Into Dixon Entrance to continue surveys there on the route of the ocean steamers that will enter the trans-Pacific trade from this port. Unfortunately the officers have had bad weather for their work there, the observation points being hidden by clouds and mist for a good part of the time. Capt. Musgrave is in hope, however, that conditions may now be better. The staff of surveyors belonging to the Lillooet has been increased recently. In addition to Mr. Cowley and Mr. Davis, there have arrived fjrom the East, W. I-I. Powell and C. Ross, who have entered upon their duties. Mr. Cowley has been in charge of a party with headquarters on Kennedy Island this summer. A camp is maintained on the island and by means of a launch the hydrograhpic work is being carried on. o MAN EATING SHARK the juices of the shark's stomach. When the deposit of grease had been scraped from the plate the words "No. 3 folding pocket kodak, model A, patented," were plain. It is believed that perhaps the owner of the kodak can be traced through the maker of the camera, as there are other factory marks on it which may allow of its being identified. WIRELESS COMPULSORY. S. Said (o Have Made it Necessary to Instill System on Ships A Washington dispatch reported through the United Wireless Company says that President Taft has signed a compulsory wireless telegraph bill, which will have the effect of compelling all American steamers to carry the wireless. It will also be compulsory on all steamers making regular calls at American ports, whether American owned or not. The new regulation does not go Into effect at once, one year being allowed steamers in which to comply with the order. It will apply to all steamers licensed to carry fifty passengers or a crew of ten men. o THE PACIFIC CARLE Capture of One Made Near Port Angeles by Two Fishing Schooners Fn • Milling Properties Showing Dp ill Good Style This Spring Among the south bound passengers on the Princess Royal last Saturday was James Lipscombe, who for years has been the agent of the White Pass company at Atlin. He was on his way east to visit his father who is very ill at Parry Sound. He will be absent for two months. Mr. Lipscombe had only been in Atlin a few weeks when he received the news of his father's illness. The camp, he says, promises well this summer. There is, in fact, better prospects than there has been for a long time. This Is due to the fact that the frfee milling properties are looking bright. On the Engineer group very rich free milling quartz is being taken out and the operators are very sanguine. In some instances picked samples have run Into thousands of dollars to the ton. A five stamp mill Is at work and the camp Is very hopeful. After a terrific struggle lasting seven hours, a gigantic shark, 36 feet long, and estimated to weigh more than fifteen tons, was captured by the combined crews of the fishing boats Good Partner and Pioneer II. between Port Angeles and Port Crescent a week ago. The monster is believed to be the largest fish ever caught in these waters. The Good rnrtner and the Pioneer II. much battered and battle-stained, with crews nursing more or less seri- out wounds, towed the mammoth carcass into Elliott Bay yesterday. In spite of the thirty horsepower engine with which each is equipped, it took the two boats fifteen hours to get the big shark down from Port Town- send. When pulled to the surface the tall was seen to be full of splinters and blue paint as the result of struggles to demolish the Good Partner. The shark is 18 feet in circumference at its middle, and about twelve feet around the head. The huge triangular mouth on Ihe under side Is live feet across. The flukes of the lail are six feet apart. The body is gray, and covered with liny spikes which make it feel like a file. Efficiency of Route Proved at Time of King's Death John Milward, Australian manager of the Pacific Cable, who arrived recently on this coast on his way to Montreal, will meet A. S. Baxendale, London, chairman of the Pacific Cable board, and discuss with the officials of the C.P.R. Telegraph company the leasing of a wire from Vancouver to Montreal as announced In The Journal previously. Mr. Milward stated that the business of the Pacific Cable has grown enormously of late and is bound to Increase to a remarkable degree. This has made it necessary that the board secure a land link which will be under its control at all times. The securing of this will also give a great impetus to the Imperial press service. As an instance of the efficiency of the Pacific Cable Mr. Milward mentioned that at tbe time of the King's death the London office filed a press story with the Commercial Cable and Eastern Extension and also with the Pacific Cable. The Pacific Cable beat its rivals by several hours in the delivery of the message In Australia. MARINE NOTES The Belle of Scotland, laden with rails from Sydney. C.B., for the G. T.

Unpurchasable are the mosl precious elements in the navies and armies of the world. We do not, as a nation, "sense" tbe true relation ol money to war; not do our cousins across the Atlantic, any more than ourselves, grasp the full bearing of the problem of war. The primary law of our national exist ence is that no navy is the lease use that is not good enough to win on "the Great Day." A warship is only a gun carriage afloat; tbe gun —not the button, ihe torpedo, the gold lace, the ram, the dockyard the admiral, or the Admiralty—is the dominant factor in naval affairs. For the gun everything and everybody naval, from "my lords" to the punkah wallah in the Persian Gulf from Dreadnoughts to dinghies, come into existence. On the altar of the gun the slack must be sacrificed. So self-evident a truth has not long enjoyed official recognition. The era of goldleaf—I will not use the contentious word "paint"—Ib not forgotten by anyone over twenty-one years of age. When I wake in the morning the sun illuminates a photograph of a portion of the main deck of one of the scrapped battleships. In this picture figures of Mercury, covered with gold leaf, gilded capstan, and gilded iron and steel work record the methods uy which promotion came to smart, commanders in the later Victorian era. These adornments were paid for by naval officers, not by the nation. When the shifting of the centre of gravity from South to North compelled the Admiralty to abandon its aversion from perspective better shooting became the vogue—but with nil the energy and inventiveness of tbe early-Edwardian gunnery authorities they did mil then, and do not now, act on the principle that gunnery is not a game, bin the most serious exe- cutlve aci which the nation can delegate to a picked caste of highly trained ami trusted officers and men, Quick Acting That Hie Admiralty and its apolo- gists have complacently regarded gunnery regulations and rules as the rules and regulations of a form of sport is shown by the system of com petition between ship and ship, and between fleet and fleet, and the an nual publication of gunnery returns is given in precisely the same form as batting averages or jockeys' wins on the flat are published at the end of each season. Quick Hitting That there was a time when tbe interest of the Fleet had to be secured somehow on the side of quick hitting is not to be gainsaid. It was necessary for a season to resort to the expedient of pitting ship against ship and fleet against fleet, thus enlisting the emulation of sportsmanship on the side of good gunnery. As a means of waking the Navy a form of sporting competition was an excellent plan; as a means of securing proficiency in the art of winning battles the plan leaves much to be desired. Naval war is not a competition between individual ships, but between the relative weight of well-directed lire that can be concentrated on a fleet by a fleet. If ten ships fire synchronously at one enemy ship nobody knows under our sporting system of gunnery who hits and who misses. In a word the treatment, of gunnery as a game is not an operation of war. As a line of advance inwards actual war practice competitive gunnery has everything to be Bald for il. liui as you do not teach men only to toddle, bin also to run, when enti i ■ tl for a Maral linn rai' ■'. here tin i he cham pion . |p of the world, o Brll Isl na- i ■] gunnery must I ilie' i tl of its iwaddllni ' f It is to prevail In the houi of trial.

If, however, such performances of those of the Mars and Magnificent are the result of Inability to see the target, what are we to think ot the system that compels a ship to fire into the brown of an Atlantic or North Sea fog which hides the target from view? The injustice of such a system to keen officers is redoubled by the publication of ships' battle practice in "order of merit," without stating which ships fired at targets they could see and which were the unlucky competitor.1 who could not see t ^ mark. Nor am 1 impressed by the M - joinder to- my indictment, which is based on the plea that the Lords of the Admiralty are satisfied with the "all round improvement." The question at issue is not whether the Department of Naval Ordnance is satisfied with itself, but whether the British gunnery system is inferior to the German gunnery system. If it be true that fire control is further advanced in the Imperial Navy than in the Royal Navy, then it Is not gunnery lieutenants who should be reprimanded, but the Director of Naval Ordnance who should be brought to book and required either to improve the system forthwith or make way for an officer who will do Slackness Somewhere Slackness is not necessarily restricted lo gunnery lieutenants; in- deed, I have never personally known i case of a slack gunnery officer.

His Royal Highness the Duke of Connaught, who, it is announced, will be Canada's next governor-general, was bred up as a soldier, just as the Duke of Edinburgh became a sailor. His military studies began at the age of nine, under Captain El- phinstone, later Sir Howard El- phinstone, of the Royal Engineers. He has been no holiday soldier, but saw service in the field during the campaign against Arabi Pasha, in 1882, and was present at the battle of Tel-el-Keber, at the head of the brigade of Guards. Some years later a report was circulated that in order to keep the prince out of danger, General Wolseley, the English commander-in-chief, ordered him to the rear during the assault upon the fortified lines of the Egyptian rebels. This precaution was said to have been taken in obedience to Instructions received from London, where there was some anxiety as lo the personal safely of his royal highness. The story, however, was denied, both by Mr. Childers, who was (hen in the war Office, and by Lord Wolseley, who declared emphatically that the deke "took his chance like everyone else; I hud no better brigade under my command than bis," added Hie general. As a uiai ter of fact, the duke ne\ er Irked the duties of a soldier. II is related thai one day during his early soldiering be was marching towards Aldershnt with his battalion of the Rifle Brigade, Tbe general in command of the district obse- quently sent down a horse In nieei him in order thai his royal highness might ride to camp, as the inarch had been a long and tiring one. His royal highness, however, al once de- cllned io avail himself of the tempting liui irregular offer, saying thai as In' was a company officer it was bis duty to march into camp with his men. The long and unfailing attention in detail which has been such a prominent characteristic with the duke has endowed him with a mind of remarkable clearness. Once dur ing the manoeuvres on Salshury Plain the correspondent of a London newspaper had been to the duke getting some particulars of the disposition of tbe northern army, of which his royal highness was in command. "Well," said the newspaper man afterwards, "they can say what they like about people getting the credit for the suggestions ,of others, but, look here," pointing to some voluminous notes, "this is what the duke has just given off to me 'mm his own head without a scrap of paper, as I'm a sober man, or a word from a living soul." And he exhibited a list showing the precise dispositions of every fraction of the duke's extended command during the hostilities which has just ceased for that day. In 1879 he was married to the Princess Louise Margaret of Prussia, then a girl of nineteen. She is the Kaiser's second cousin, being a daughter of the late Prince Frederick Charles, better known by the sobriquet of "the red prince," who served with much distinction as the commander of a German army corps during the war with France in 1870 and 1871. The three children of the Duke and Duchess of Connaught have inherited the popularity of their par- neis. The eldest, Princess Margaret Victoria, who was horn in 1SS2, is married lo (lusiavus Adolphus, Crown Prince of Sweden and Duke of Scandinavia, in due course she will become Quean of Sweden, and her children will sit upon the historic throne of Gnstavus Vusn. Sweden will ibus bo one of the seven European kiuddoms lo bo ruled by descendants of Queen Victoria, tho other six being Germany, Russia. Spain, Norway, Greece and Bulgaria. Prince Arthur's youngesl daughtei is the lovely PrincesB Patricia, whoso name is the feminine form of Patrick. Prince Arthur's son, who also bears the name of Arthur, is a fine, manly Englishman. Some years ago, when the grand-ducal throne of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha became vacant, the succession passed to the Duke ot Connaught, bul he renounced his right of it. The next heir was his son, tbe young Prince Arthur, but after living in Saxe-Coburg for a short time, tbe English lad found the iron rigidity and the exacting etiquette of a small German court to be not at all to his taste. He therefore abandoned his claims to the German principality, thereby endearing himself to all good Englishmen. The throne of Coburg passed to his cousin, Prince Charles Edward, son of tbe late Duke of Albany, the youngest son of Victoria. NO PARLIAMENT YET Chinese Imperial Decree Refuses Demand Made by Leaders An imperial deci\.o .u»b been issued at Pekin refusing the popular and insistent demand recently made for the immediate convocation of a national parliament. The urgent petition, which was presented by delegates to the provincial assemblies and was suppor) ed by organizations of merchants throughout the country, was considered at the first meeting of the council of the empire held during the regency of Prince Chun. Following the deliberations the government's position is now made known. It appears that the regent proposes to adhere to his original programme, which provides for a general legislative party to be summoned nine years after the meeting of the provincial assemblies, „noeh were constituted by a decree of the throne made on May 9 last. Concurrent with the summons of the national assemblies to meet on October 30, announcement was made of ninety- six members, representing all classes and the people were Instructed to prepare for a parliament. The delegates, however, wished the Immediate establishment of a general popular legislative body and in this they were encouraged by Hie merchants who have refused to nay the stami lax, hoping in this way to Influence Prince Chun. The agitation crystal- Ilzi d eui 1;. in .lane when the delegates met in the capital and memorializing the throne, declared their intention of remaining in Pekln until their demands were granted. Eight ot the number were pledged to suicide in the event that a refusal was met with. The delegates included several from the Chinese colonies in the Philippines, Australia and elsewhere, and as they were believed to represent the revolutionary element among Chinese living in foreign lands they were closely watched by the police spies. Tiie leaders of the movement, however, made known that they did not propose to employ drastic measures, much less an anti- dynastic revolution resulting from the introduction into China of the armies of ofreign powers. t DUTIES OF EMPIRE % J,Mh* *************** ******* in a recent speech at Liverpool, Lord Milner was emphatic on the duties of the Mother Country towards our crown colonies. "Our stepmotherly neglect ot the crown colonies," he said, "has been one of the least honorable pages in our history. As governors of the native populations we have held, at any rate since the abolition of the slave trade, a fairly high record for humanity, but in respect of their development we have been extraordinarily unenterprising. There was now a more progressive and liberal policy. It might, In given circumstances, be vital for our great industrial country to have the raw material upon which our principal industries depended produced within regions under our own control. There was now much greater competition for raw material, and it was of signal importance that we bad in our own empire lands capable of supplying these natural products upon which there was to be in the future 'the greatest run:' "There was, therefore, a call for more serious and systematic, study of the conditions and for a more highly trained and expert administration. We have arrived at the end of the process of physical expansion. We do not want more territory—in truth it would nut be good for us. We have enormous work he- fore us in making the best of the territories we already possess. Nothing strikes me more constantly in what I might call the misdirection of national energy than the extraor- llnary contrast between the amount of time and labor and ingenuity— and, I might add, of temper—which is expended upon the least of our home political questions compared with the plentiful lack of energy devoted to even the biggest problems of empire, and especially the biggesl problems of our crown colonies.." USEFUL HINTS In wiping the kitchen range use a small hag as a glove. Paper bags, which accumulate so fast, may be put to good use in the kitchen. If your wash boiler suddenly "springs a leak" throw in a handful of corn meal. Cutting onions, turnips and carrots across the fibre makes them more tender when cooked. To brown pie crust: Wash over top crust with a little milk. Makes it a nice light brown. When soaking mackerel or other salt fish see that the skin side is placed uppermost. Keep doughnuts and cookies In a covered crock and they will remain moist much longer. Rolls may be re-warmed and made crisp and good if placed, in a paper bag in a hot oven. A large apron for covering the skirt to be used for bedmaking can he made from half a discarded sheet. When cleaning house a convenience is a stick with a notch In the end to lift picture cords from hooks. If the sides are sewed together and the sheets cut through the cen- ter ii will he given a new lease of life. ' The flat taste of boiled water may he removed by pouring from one plti her io another in the open air. (ARE OF CURTAINS T.i prevent i When the lace curtains are ready lo he washed, baste a narrow strip of muslin along each outer edge and let it remain until the washing and drying process is completed and you will find your curtains are straight and do not sag. Curtain hints: On a nice warm day take your curtains that will not stand for stretching, wash and starch them, then while wet put them on their curtain rods and hang them in sunny windows; then stretch them down and sideways enough to smooth them out a little; then raise the windows top and bottom to let the air or wind move them to and fro, and in no time your curtains will be dry and look as nice as when stretched. Think of the time you save! In the sum- ment time this is an easy method. .' I Mritl Tuesday, July 5, 1910 THE PRINCE RUPERT JOURNAL NEWS OF THE PROVINCE Items of General Interest From Centres in British Columbia. CATERPILLARS STOP TRAINS Eastern Railway Lines Had Fierce Rattle to Combat Insects To Exhibit Fruit Vernon.—At a recent meeting of the board of trade of Vernon, M. J. O'Brien reported that the committee appointed to solicit subscriptions for the exhibition of fruit in England, had met with very gratifying success. About $2,500 had already been subscribed, and more could \io obtained If necessary. It would probably be decided, he thought, that the board would exhibit at the Vancouver apple show, as well as in the Old Country, but he expected that, all necessary funds would be obtained without trouble, as the project appealed very strongly to all who had been approached, and a cheerful response had met the committee in its canvass. they have been incurred, thus simplifying the termination of its corporate existence. Asbestos Deposit Pcnticton.—A rich strike of asbestos has been muue on Manard's ranch, two miles from Okanagan Falls, according to report. Tbe expert states that a vein containing 1 to 1 1 inches of solid asbestos ore has been discovered with a surface width of 56 Inches. Bordering the vein of asbestos are deposits of nlckle and graphite. Samples of the ore met with have been sent to the coast to be assayed. If, as is expected, a favorable reply is received development work will be commenced immediately. It is slated that Mr. Manard has been offered $350,- 000 for the piece of his property containing the mine, providing that an average depth of three Inches is maintained throughout the length of the vein. Co-operative Move New Westminster.—An Associated Board of Trade for the Fraser River Valley, embracing all the municipalities between Agassiz and the mouth of the Fraser, Is the scheme that C. H. Stuart Wade, secretary of the New Westminster Board of Trade. has been working on for somo months. The object is the improvement of commercial and agricultural conditions and the investigation of such other matters as will be for the general advancement of the entire district. To accomplish this each municipality has organized a board within its own area. Many of the boards are having pamphlets issued pertaining to the particular district they serve; others are appropriating money for newspaper advertising purposes, and other schemes are in the making. In consequence of newspaper and magazine articles sent' out by the secretary of the New Westminster board many letters of inquiry are being received In this city from all parts of the world. Carried Bylaw Vancouver.— By a vote of over four to one, in tile heaviest bylaw polled in the history of the city, the properly owners of Vancouver gave their assent to the False Creek agreement between the city and the V. V. & 10. railway company, by which the latter is granted sixty-one acres in i be head of the creel in exchanj for the extinguishment of the riparian rights on the north shore. From the opening of the ward polls at 9 o'clock in the morning until they closed at night at 7 p.m. there was a continual stream of voters pouring in to register their opinions, and the total registered vote of 3,374, not. including spoiled ballots, shows how keenly the issue touched the average ratepayer. Figures of the voting on the bylaw were: For, 2,717; against, 057. Necessary number of votes to carry, 2,025. Majority over three- fifths, 692. New Car Shops Kamloops.—The C. P. R. has started big improvements which will result in the expenditure of not less than $250,000. The work in project embraces the demolishment of the present buildings and the building of an entirely new machine shop and round house. The new shop will be constructed entirely of concrete and si eel with cement floors, fitted in all departments with I he latest appliances in the line of machinery. It will be divided into four different departments, including the engine room, boiler room and machine room. Besides the departments there will be the offices of the foreman and his assistants. A Urge coal bunker will occupy one section of tbe building. The old round house is to be entirely demolished and a new one constructed containing a much greater stall capacity for engines. This will also be constructed of cement, brick and steel. The entire trackage of the present system of the yards will be removed and relaid in accordance with the new buildings, and will In all probability also necessitate the removal of the tracks now running through the main thoroughfare. Emigration in Empire Would Forfeit Charter Victoria.—An application is to be made to the Supreme Court by W. J. Taylor, K.C., for the disqualification of the reeve and councillors of North Saanich Municipality, this being but the approved procedure for the demunlcipalization of that extensive suburban district and its reversion again to Provincial government administration as an unorganized district. The municipal authorities, the prominent residents by whose activities the incorporation of the municipality was brought about and in fact all parties directly interested are said to favor the surrender of local autonomy, finding Unit under municipality rule their tax contributions are harder and their roads etc., less efficiently maintained.

MacKendrlck at Babine Lake, dated June 15th: 'Today there landed here two carrier pigeons. They seemed very tired and were exceptionally hungry. On one leg of each bird was noticed a small aluminum ring. By means of some grain we captured one, but the other at once flew away In a southernly direction. Inscribed on the ring on the captured bird was engraved the following: V.H.C. 957, 1907. On the bird being released it at once started off in the direction of its mate.' " o One-half of the human race makes rice their chief food, says Science Piltings. The people of India, China, and Japan are rice eaters. A medical correspondent, who has lived among the Chinese and Japanese never knew one to have dyspepsia. Rice as a food, he claims, is. equal to wheat, rye, barley or corn, as to nutritious value. It has this advantage, we are told, over all oilier cereals as lo its being digested in one hour. All other cereals take from two and a half to three and a half hours lo digest. Rice is soon out of the stomach thus I j~t* The ('. P. R. trainmen who run between St. John, N. II., and McAdam are facing a period of extreme discomfort owing to the caterpillar pest, says the St. John Telegraph. This seems now to be established as an annual affair. Insignificant as these worms appear when viewed singlj or in small numbers, they have, for the last three years, cost the C. P. R. a large amount of money. Up to the last few days of their stay last summer they were almost invulnerable, mil delayed every train, freight and passenger alike, which passed through the district upon which they annually descend. A successful method of combatting them was at last liii upon, however, and it Is expected that this will be effective this season and that they will not be nearly the nuisance which they have been heretofore. Trainmen who arrived here last night: say that for a distance of several miles in the vicinity of Routh the caterpillars cover the tracks so completely that not a glimpse of steel can be seen. When the wheels of the locomotives strike the worm belt they turn uselessly, as if the rails were soaped. In previous years no amount of steam or ot manoeuvering was at first effective in removing the worms, or In allowing the trains to proceed at any kind of speed. It was sim ply a case of the crew climbing down and getting to work with brooms, and this was not only very slow but also very exasperating, for the caterpillars were there in billions, and crawled on almost as fast as they were brushed off. As an improvement upon the hand method the scheme was tried ot nxing brooms to the front of the cow-catcher, but this was a failure. When the trainmen were almost at their wits' end, not only through loss of time and extra labor, but also through the sickening effects of a trip through the infected zone, the happy thought was at last hit upon of utilizing the very power which the worms were rendering useless to put them out of the way. Steam pipes were affixed to the engines where the escaping steam would strike the worms before the front wheels of the engine ground into them. This nearly did away with' the trouble. Instead of burning the worms up with an accompanying odor which often left the men almost HI, the engine calmly boosted the Invaders out of the way. The vast army reaches the rails each year en route to its feeding grounds. Every tree on either side of the track,' as far as the eye can reach, is stripped absolutely bare ot leaves, and the district is desolated. The success of the steam system this year will be interesting to watch. o Fred Stork VALUABLE HINTS The Washington Cafe A PLACE TO EAT Seats For Ladies Everything Clean and Tasty Prices Reasonable W.

The magnitude of the emigration problem is being attested on every hand. For instance, no fewer than forty-nine bodies concerning themselves with its various aspects, took part in the conference held in London reci ntly, undi r the a sph ee of the Royal Colonial Institute, says Canada, published in London. Again, i bough it is not wholly reliable, the annual report ol ;.:■' Board of Tradi on "Hie passenger move- aenl b "on the United Kingdom and plai is abroad" contains a formidable mid suggestive array of figures. In 1909 the total number of "outward passengers" was 17 1,- 378, which compares with 386,411 in 1908, and has only been exceeded in the years 1900 and 1907. Of ibis number, 194,8117, or 41 per cent, contracted to land ai ports within the British Empire, 113,318 going to Canada—an Increase of 17,890 over the previous year—while 259,933 went lo the United States—an increase of no less than 61,012. There could be no stronger reason for the putting forth of every possible effort to ensure both that emigration from Ureat Britain should be conducted on right lines, and that this great stream of departing citizens should be kept within the bounds of Greater Britain. There is involved a duty to the Empire no less than to humanity. These were the considerations which underlay the whole course of the discussion at the Royal Colonial Institute Conference. Diversities of method and point of view at times obscured them, but every now and then they rose again to I he surface, and reminded those concerned of their presence and insistence. The very fact that so many different societies took part speaks well for the attention that is being given to the problem In the Mother Country. And it was gratifying to hear from so many independent workers of the success which had followed settlement in Canada and other parts of the Empire Overseas, and of the well nigh unlimited field still lying open, so be it the men and women are willing and able to work. The multiplicity of these agencies suggests that some may overlap each other's sphere of usefulness. To some extent this is no doubt true; it is inevitable in the circumstances. But there is another aspect of the situation. The study of the problem of emigration is as yet only in its infancy, and were there not numerous societies like tnese in existence, it would not be approached from nearly so many of its different sides, Nevertheless, that there Is urgent need for co-operation and co-ordination of effort there can be no doubt. The discussion at the conference made this plainer than ever. Insofar as the appointment of the committee agreed upon will serve this purpose, it is welcome. It i.annot, however, be regarded as other than merely temporary In Its nature and tentative in Its arrangements. It will doubtless serve until the time has come for something more permanent and more effective to take its place. What that will be the conference also took into consideration. It: is sincerely to be hoped the conclusions arrived at and resolutions passed will nave the way for a definite step being taken In advance. The end in view is fairly clear, though the way to it may be uncertain. It has been suggested that the Emigrants' Information Office might do more to coordinate the various existing emigration societies. That is no doubt true, but It cannot meet all the requirements of such a central body as that lo the necessity for which everything points — one wilii ndniinisi -ative powers and financial resources.

Meanwhile, the holding of a subsidiary Imperial conference on i he subject ought to pave the way for -uih further development as have met wiib the unanimous approval of the delegates taking part in iliis week's discussion. If this end alone is attained in the meantime the council of the Royal Colonial Institute will have done a good service io iin Empire by arranging for this Interchange of views. o TRAIN SAFETY Coasl Land DUtrlct—District of Skeena, TAKE NOTICE that Elijah Rounds, of Victoria, B.C., occupation Stewart, intends to apply for permission to purchase the following described lands:—Commencing at a post planted one-half mile north, and one-half mile east, of Nettie A.

Make Record Regarding Absence or Fatalities The railways of the United States are beginning to show more regard for human life. Reports now at hand for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1909, issued by the railway bureau of news and statistics, show that seventeen railroad companies in the United States complete a six year term without killing a single passenger, ninety-five companies a live year term, 177 a four year term, 228 companies a three year term, 287 companies a two year term, while 347 out of the 368 whose returns are recorded, reported one year of safety, so far, at least, as passengers were concerned. The New York World in discussiong these figures says: "This gain in safety was accomplished along with tremendous increases of track mileage and with a multiplication of risks through additions to train schedules. The mileage of the death Immune American roads of 1908-09 was 159,657. Only twice in half a century has the no- fatality record been made on the railways of Great Britain, which have now, according to the bureau report, a mileage of 23,000." o .—■ The Canadian Pacific railway has abandoned the system of numbering the vice-presidents of the road, and henceforth they will all rank as vice- presidents in charge of specified duties.

Georgetown Mill Company Would Give Municipality Chance to Obtain Water Rights The city council at Its meeting on Thursday evening dealt with questions affecting power for the city. Two propositions were brought up and discussed at some length by the members of the council. Neither one of them was in such shape that there could be anything done looking to the acquisition of power at the present. Both were propositions, on the contrary, to be looked Into as sources for the future. The first one discussed was that of harnessing the tides as suggested by Aid. Barrow some time ago and concerning which the alderman is very sanguine, although he is not yet in a position to say that the experiments now in progress will prove it practicable. Aid. Barrow is favorable to giving the city the fullest benefits of his investigations along this line, although he says he would not refuse to share in the advantages that might result. There is no where else in the world that Aid. Barrow knows of where the experiments could be better carried out than at Prince Rupert. The location where power is sought is in the passage way which separates Kaien Island from the mainland. The question came up on Thursday night on a report of the finance committee in which it was recommended that the application of Aid. Barrow be opposed by the city, it being understood that the Dominion government would refuse all rights if the city manifested a disposition to oppose the granting of them. The report further recommended that if the feasibility of tbe proposition were proved that the city stiould take steps to acquire the rights, re-em- bursing Aid. Barrow suitably. Aid. Naden thought the question involved in the power proposition was altogether too important to be dismissed as it was proposed. This might become a very important feature of the power question in the city. The city could not for some time spend money in connection with it. If the power could be utilized It was a wonderful thing. II might be ten or fifteen years before the city could develop it. He thought it would be better to try and induce capital to look Into the subject, the city at the same time safeguarding itself. He would not like to see the thing tied up. Aid. Pattullo explained that If the Dominion government would oppose the granting of all rights to the water if the city opposed it, the recommendation of the committee would safeguard the city's rights there. It would prevent others coming In and alienating it. Aid. Barrow said he had not given up the idea of interesting people In It. The city might either theoretically own these rights or it might control its operation on the streets. The scheme had not been proved yet to be a commercial proposition. He traced the history of the electric lighting system from the experimental stage to the present. The city did not need to oppose his application because he would withdraw If the council thought it would be to the disadvantage of the city. Aid. Mclntyre could not see how the city council could do other than endorse the move made by Aid. Barrow because in the early stages Aid. Burrow bad been encouraged to pro- eeeil wiib ibis. He would like lo see Aid. Harrow go on with his application especially in view of the fact that be was pn,pared m turn It over io the city ai warn ii cosi him, Mayor stork suggested thai the city should have a standing option extending our a long period specifying thai Aid. Harrow be re-lmbtirsed Bultably, Aid, Naden did noi think thai Hie eiiy could hold everything, If some one else could develop Ibis, let them proceed. The idly could nol expert to hold everything. If cheap power were developed even by a private corporation it would benefit the city, as it would set the rate at which power would be furnished in the place. There was not the power given under the act whereby the city could expend money on experimenting such as had been suggested. He would rather see others develop the power than have it tied up indefinitely. Aid. Hildltch did not want anything done until the city engineer arrived, when he should be asked to report on it. Aid. Hlldltch'e motion carried. The other proposition thai was brought up for the consideration of the council was that of the Georgetown mill power. This was introduced by Aid. Naden, who intimated that the city could acquire it if it so wished. He thought in view of the necessity for power for light it might be found cheaper than generating by steam, and the proposition was well worth investigating. This, also, will likely be looked into by the new city engineer upon his arrival here. Aid. Naden, in introducing the subject of the waver power held 'y the Georgetown sawmill, said he had found it impossible to get any exact information on the subject. The company Itself could not tell what power could be generated. He had thought it might be of Importance to the city as a power proposition. The company was agreeable to hold the power for the city until it investigated it. It might be possible to develop the power cheaper than by steam. Aid. Pattullo suggested that there might be engineers in the city who could give some Idea of the water supply there. Aid. Barrow said he did not know the situation. There might be great storage capacity that had not been investigated. The report should be treated as confidential in any event. The question was referred to the fire and water committee. • o LEAVING THE CITY GRAND CELEBRATION ON DOMINION DA Y r ■ 'WHERE QUALITY IS KING.' Prince Rupert Made Merry Filling Entire Day With a Splendid Programme of Aquatic and Land Sports—Floats by Local Firms a Conspicuous Feature. Prince Rupert celebrated Dominion E. K. Strathy Retires From Management of Union Rank Here E. K. Strathy, manager of the local branch of the Union Bank here, will leave Prince Rupert with his wife and family early in August. They will make Edmonton their future home. Mr. Strathy retires from the service of the bank and will devote himself to his own private interests in the prairie city. In the removal of Mr. Strathy Prince Rupert loses an estimable citizen. He is a pioneer of the place, coming here in 190S and opening the Union Bank when this city was much less pretentions than it is now. He has made many personal friends and popularized the bank with which he has been identified. After twenty years in the banking business, during which time he has been for the most part in the prairie province, he has decided to retire from tbe business and devote his attention to his own private affairs. Mrs. Strathy is also popular in the city and will be very much missed. The resignation of Mr. Strathy takes affect August 1. He may remain a little longer until his successor reaches here. Protecting Salmon (Continued from rage One) ed to co-operate. Having acted, however, the federal authorities were communicated withtand joint action suggested looking to covering a number of years. The Dominion government ac cordingly appointed the present commission, Mr. Babcock being lent by the provincial authorities for the purpose. Speaking of conditions on the Skeena, Mr. Babcock said that while there was a phenomenal run of salmon there was a lack of labor to successfully handle the pack. While the provincial government rating would allow 855 boats to the river canneries, there wene only about 745 at work. The Indians seemed to find work in the construction camps and the canners were deprived not only of their aid, but also the women of the Indian reserves. The large run Mr. Babcock ascribes in large measure to tho good work done by Hans Helgensen and Mr. Williams some years ago in Buc- cessfully breaking down the Indian weirs al llabine Lake, allowing the lish lo ascend to the groat spawn-1 ing ground of Hie Skeena. Mr. Babcock was agreeably sur- prlsed ai the progress that had been made in preparing Ptlnce Rupert for Hie great business liia.i is to offer here. 0 LYNCHED NEGROES (Special to The Journal) Charleston, July 5.—Two negroes were lynched by a mob of infuriated farmers out of revenge for an attack on Wm. Cox, a planter. o LIQUOR LICENSES Day in a most fitting manner. It is doubtful whether anywhere else in Canada the natal day of the Dominion had more crowded into the twenty-four hours than had thi's city. A start was .made early In the morning on the aquatic sports. The Dominion government survey ship Lillooet was in the harbor for the day, and Capt. Musgrave had her gaily dressed for the occasion. The motor boat race was probably the one that excited the most interest, being a handicap One ovt. a twelve mile course. Twelve entries were made: Alma, Juanita, Laura Edna, Sooke, Meteor, Beluarte, Michin, Dowan Deena, Telkwa, Starboard launches of the government steamer Lillooet, and the Ky Yex. The result was: 1, Juanita, owned by F. M. Davis, I for time); 2, Ky Vex, owned by G. T. P. (first for speed); '.',, Lillooet, of S.S. Lillooet. The other events were won as follows:— Skiffs—Singles, 1, Oman; 2, Neville. Skiffs, doubles—1, Oman and Norman; 2, Olsen and Peterson. Skiffs, mixed doubles—Mr. Barn- jman and Mrs. Robertson. Canoes, singles—1, Du Vernet; 2, Smythe, Canoes, doubles—Du Vernet and Smythe; 2, Barnjman and St. Clair. Crab race — 1, Du Vernet; 2, Lenty. Mixed tandem canoe—1, Du Vernet and Miss Pender. Whale boat race—1, Lillooet; 2, Longshoremen. At noon the part which pleased the youngsters most was put on. It was the street parade with decorated floats. The displays made by the different firms were highly creditable and showed a lot of uard work on the part of those responsible. The parade was made up at the corner of McBride and Third avenue. Under Marshal Beatty everything passed off well. The Metlahkatla band, with its dashing drum major wearing decorations that almost obscured him from view, led the way. Following that came the Prince Rupert Fish Market's display—a wheelbarrow with fish bearing date 1908 representing the original business, followed by Lindsay Bros.' four blacks attached to a large float displaying the present day enterprise, with smoker attached. The New Wellington coal, Rogers & Black, made a striking display with the mining of the coal realistically shown. The Union Transfer had a float representing their lines of trade. Stewart and Mobley had a tasty turn out of their own outfit. The Meat Market showed up well with a comprehensive display of their wares. J. G. Weston's float was loaded with children, bearing the inscription "Our Empire and the Maple Leaf Forever." The Kaien Club utilized Aid. Pat- tullo's auto, which was gaily decorated. After a parade of the principal streets, the awards were made on the wharf. They were given as follows: 1, Fish Market; 2, Meat Market; 3, Wellington Coal. The land sports were held on First avenue in front of the natural amphitheatre overlooking the harbor. The sports were all well contested. Considerable interest was added when Aid. Mobley assayed to win honors as a high juniper, forgetting ill the rejuvenating climate of Prince Ruperl thai he was no longer a boy, .1. Q. Weston likewise followed the example of the city father and although not winning prizes they made some of the younger contestants retire from the field. Tom VVlnsby of Victoria was the winner of the sprinting events. The three mile open race ended unsatisfactorily owing to the winners not all understanding where the race was to end. It was decided to run It over again. The winners in the events were as follows: — Boys, under five years—Frank Gos- nell, Shockley, Bobbie Arthur, F. Laby. Girls, under five years—Ester Carroll, Isabelle Austin, Annie Nehring, Grace Manson, Stella Mc- Magar. Girls under ten years—Lorna Tite, Florence Ives, Pete Tremayne. Muriel Ives.

ENDORSES AGREEMENT Stewart Will Accept Oner of Aid From Provincial Government The citizens of the new town of Stewart have endorsed the offer made by Hon. Thomas Taylor on his recent visit to the camp. This arrangement is clearly set forth In the resolution which was moved by Dr. Kergin at a meeting held In the northern town recently. The resolution was as follows:— "Resolved, that the citizens' meet ing go on record as approving the arrangement whereby the government will advance $10,000 and make a straight donation of $20,000, to be expended for sewer and street improvements." After an explanation by Dr. Kergin, the resolution carried unanimously. It binds the future incorporated city of Stewart and the Stewart Land Company to reimburse the government loan of $10,000. The proportion which the land company will pay, it is understood, is $2,500. T. J. Vaughan-Rhys spoke for several minutes on the subject and from an engineering standpoint said It was his opinion $30,000 would give the improvements a sufficient start for present emergency. He explained il was proposed to build two sewer mains, one along Columbia avenue and along Fifth street which would relieve the situation for the present. A septic tank is to be placed at the foot of Columbia street at half tide. Already work is commencing In arrying out the agreement. Steps are being taken also to have incorporation grantel the place. __o The man who has no faith In human nature is not to be trusted. " GEO. D. TITE Furniture Dealer 3rd.
