CHANGE IN GRADE Contemplated Improvement Along Eighth Street to Sixth Avenue. Move Will He Made to Ascertain What Can lie Done Towards Getting Good Way Aid. Morrissey at last evening's council meeting took up the question of a change in grade along Fifth street from Third avenue to Sixth avenue. He explained that it was felt by property owners that there should be something done to make that an easy grade and in view of the fact that the property owners on Fraser street were agreeable to the change it could be done. The owners of the Royal Hotel had agreed now to the necessary change on HAS NO SUGGESTION * (Special to The Journal) * OTTAWA, Feb. 28.—In the * House of Commons yesterday, * Sir Wilfrid Laurier said that * Canada had no suggestion to * lay before the Imperial Confer- * ence this year. • ************** Sixth that would be involved in the whole alteration. He proposed to take steps at once to bring the matter before the Lieutenant Governor in council before Mr. Manson left Victoria so that there would be approval of the change in case the necessary formalities were carried out here in the way of waivers being secured. Aid. Hilditch did not care to take the steps advised until the matter was gone into with the engineer. In support of the proposition Aid. Morrissey pointed out that If Fifth street were so improved a very direct way from the proposed station of the G. T. P. to the section beyond Fifth and Sixth streets would be obtained by way of Fifth street. The matter was referred to the streets committe and in the meantime the necessary petition will be circulated and the waiver of the property owners obtained. o VACCINE IS HERE Those Who Wish to He Treated May Apply to the Medical Health Officer The medical health officer notified the council last night that the vaccine had been received by him and he was in a position to comply with the rules laid down for vaccinating all applicants under the provincial act. It was decided to give public notice that the vaccine was on hand and the rules of the province required vaccination. o ITS FIRST LUNCHEON Canadian Club Entered Upon Its Active Life Today at Prince Rupert Inn. Midday Repast Served with Archdeacon Colllnson as the Guest of the Occasion Under the most favorable conditions the Canadian Club entered upon Its career today when the first luncheon to be served under its auspices was given in tlie Prince Rupert Inn, Archdeacon Collinson being the guest. In every way the luncheon was a success. About 125 of tbe citizens sat down to a very well served luncheon, the service being all that could be asked for. Judge Young, the president of the club, presided and In an appropriate way introduced the Archdeacon after the King's Health had been drunk. The latter delivered a speech in which he recounted some of the early days In Northern British Columbia. • He told of the first vessels to call at these northern coasts and (Continued on Page Eight) ELECTRIC LIGHTING Alderman Clayton Defends His Department and Criticises Alderman Hilditch. The Employing of Kupt. Love in « Dual Capacity Defended by Committee A letter was received from Thos. Burns, the late superintendent of the electric light plant, last evening putting in a claim for pay from February 1 to February 22, and from February 22 to March 22, he claiming a full month's pay after the date of his dismissal. Aid. Hilditch asked if Superintendent Burns had been responsible for the lights being off one night. He was informed that the men said they were unable to give lights owing to the switches not being on. Aid. Hilditch moved that the communication be filed. Aid. Newton seconded the motion, which carried. Later the report of the electric light committee on the dismissal of Mr. Burns and the employing of Manager Love to have charge of both the electric light and the telephone systems came up for discussion. Aid. Clayton moved the adoption of the report. Aid. Hilditch felt that as there would be no electricity used for power purposes during the day and as there would be little used in the evening for some months on the streets the salary was too high. He thought the duties of Superintendent Love would not be very great. The telephone ran itself now quite well. Aid. Kerr explained that the number of telephones were being increased 35 or 40 a month. Manager Love was taking the place of Manager Burns and a city electrician. Aid. Hilditch could not see how one could fill the office of three men. Aid. Clayton thought it was not very becoming for Aid. Hilditch to criticise the telephone and electric light departments which were the two best conducted in the city. More especially was this the case when the department over which Aid. Hilditch presided was found not to be what it should be. There had been a lot of talk about improvements that Aid, Hilditch was to introduce. Manager Love had found that instead of five tons of coal a day being used, as estimated by the late manager, that two tons were being used. Aid. Hilditch contended that the consumption of coal being reduced to two tons was due Jo the fact that the plant was not doing the work it was expected to do. Aid. Clayton said that Manager Burns had estimated the consumption at the present light capacity. Aid. Kerr said that while it was true the engine was not all that could have been desired, that was no fault of the present committee. Mr. Love had served the city well. The employment of him saved the city about $300. He had shown his capacity by going down and starting the plant up to give lights to the city. He had furnished on 48 hours' notice light to the hospital. Aid. Smith explained that Manager Love had been employed because there was a lot of work for him In extending the system. There had been a lot of dilly dallying and the employment of Mr. Love, it was expected, would overcome it. One reason why light was not furnished to private parties was that the late manager had ordered meters and lironght them here without the necessary government inspection. Aid. Hilditch argued that the plant had cost far too much. There had been ?42,000 spent upon the plant now while to keep within the estimate of $60,000 there would have to be twice as much power furnished on $24,000. Aid. Clayton pointed out that the additional plant would not cost nearly as much proportionately as the first part. Aid. Hilditch's department, that of the streets, was the worst managed in the city. Aid. Newton agreed in part with Aid. Hilditch. He agreed with the committee's report if the plant were j.ade a producer during the summer. The report was adopted. HOSPITAL IS OPEN Patients are Being Received at the Institution on Fifth Street. Those Under Treatment at Dr. Firing's Are to Be Removed to New Quarters The new city hospital is open to receive patients and already several of the beds are occupied. Other patients are arriving every day, so that before the week ends Miss McTavish, the matron, and her staff will have the hospital quite well occupied. Tomorrow it is expected that the patients from Dr. Ewing's hospital will be moved up to the new building. Dr. Ewing is anxious to have the change made as soon as possible and those who can be removed will be taken up at once. In future all the patients from the Foley, Welch & Stewart camps, who are under contract to Dr. Ewing, will be attended to in the city institution. Last Friday evening the formal opening took place at the hospital when a large number of citizens were in attendance. The Ladies' Auxiliary took a very important part in the reception which was given, the members of the Board being present also to assist in welcoming the citizens. Miss McTavish, the matron, the two nurses, Miss Stone and Miss Fulton, and the members of the staff assisted in every way possible to make the event an enjoyable one. Assisting Miss McTavish in receiving the guests were Mrs. G. D. Tlte, vice president of the Ladies' Auxiliary, Mrs. D. G. Stewart, wife of the president of thp Board of Directors, and Mrs. O. H. Nelson, wife of the chairman of the House Committee of the Board. In one of the wards near the main entrance a refreshment table was provided, where Mrs. Hugh Dunn and Miss Dunn, of the Ladles' Auxiliary, presided and served tea, coffee and other refreshments during the evening. In this duty, which became quite a heavy one, they were assisted by other members of the Auxiliary, including Mrs. Stork, Mrs. Arnold, Mrs. Wark and others, e The entire building was inspected by all who were present, from the heating plant In the basement, to the nurses' quarters on the top floor. General satisfaction was expressed by all. Gray's orchestra was present and through the kindness of P. I.

COAIMITTE1) SUICIDE Insane Man Hanged Himself with Towel in Lockup at Victoria (Special to The Journal)" VICTORIA, Feb. 28.—Bearing scars of violence done to himself on previous occasions when he attempted to take his life, Gwyn Elden Edwards hangd himself with a towel In his cell at the city police station yesterday. Edwards was being held until last evening when he was to have been taken to the asylum at New Westminster. POLICY REACHED BY COUNCIL ON WAGES There Will be no Formal Advance in the Rates Paid by the City—Various Committees are Asked to See That Men Get Rates to Enable Them to Live Properly. The city council last nighl disposed of thi demand of the Indus- trial workers for 45 cents an hour for work on the streets. A reporl from the committee of the whole council which considered the question last week, was presented, based on the opinion of the solicitor, C. V. Bennett, and the deliberations of the council sitting as a committee in private session. The opinion of Mr. Bennett tended to show that the city might be held liable to the contractors if the rate of wages was increased so that it might be construed that their wages were affected. In view of all this it was decided that it would not he a wise policy to formally increase tlie wages as asked for. The committee, however, goes on record as recognizing that in view of the cost of living here there are men employed by the city who are not receiving a sufficient wage. While nothing is put on record as lo what will be done, the different, departments are recommended to go into the subject and remedy the sitna- tion, As a result of this It is generally fell that here will lie increased pay to many of the workers as a result of the Investigation. The solicitor's opinion, which was read last night, was as follows; "In reply to your request for advice regarding tlie wages to be paid the laborers and the fixing of the same by the city council It would net appear from the power granted the municipal council by the municipal clauses act that they have any right to fix by resolution, or bylaw, the standard rate of wages for workmen. This would not prevent, them from paying any sum thought reasonable to any officer or workman in their employment, in entering into contracts for work on the city streets the council has agreed with the contractors that the minimum wage shall he 371/2 cents per hour, and should they now raise the rate ot wages to 4e"i cents per hour, It would be likely to materially Interfere with the riglils of the contractors to whom they have let the contracts. It is a clear principle of law -that it hy any act. of one of the parties tho performance of a contract is ren-j dered impossible, then the other side may, if they choose, rescind tlie con-1 tract. Where, the raising of price In wages would not make the performance of a contract Impossible, still reasoning by analogy to this prlncl SCHOOL SITUATION Trustee Board Have Temporary Building in View Before Long. Matter of Noon Hour nt the Central Institution Now Under Consideration (Continued on Page Eight) The members of the trustee Board have under consideration the meet ing of what promises to be an early demand for increased school accom niodation. At a meeting held yesterday afternoon when all members of the Board were present, D. G Stewart presiding, the subject came up on a resolution being received from the city council recommending that a room be opened for small children in the western portion of the city. The subject has been considered at considerable length from time to time by the present board and also by last year's board. The council's resolution will be replied to and the situation will bo placed before that body as it is presenting itself to the Board at present. It had been the intention of last year's board to open a room in the old school for the small pupils, but grading operations made this practically impossible. After going fully into the subject it was deemed wise not to open a room outside of tlie new school, the inspector having expressed himself as strongly opposed to it in the interests of school management. The Board, however, has through William Manson, been in negotiation with the government at Victoria in the hope of securing a school site just beyond Lyncb's store. The opinion is held by the Board lhat if that site is secured a temporary two-roomed school may be found advisable in order to handle all the pupils offering by the time the summer ojiens. Tlie council will be acquainted with these facts. The Board considered yesterday the question of extending tlie noon hour in tlie schools when the opinions of the teachers were presented on the subject. The subject was disf cussed at some length but no action was taken for the present at least. It was feared that tlie extension of the hour might result In practically as many children taking their luncb- es to se-iioeii witheim any advantage being derived. There ewis also the danger that in some <-"se-s children would get wet going home at 12 and would lie. kepi away from school In the afternoon, thus Interfering with Ihe work of Ihe school. In view of ihe whole situation it was fell advisable to let the hours remain for tho present, In this connection the chairman reported thai he had-instructed tho janitor tee remain in the building during tlie noon hour In compliance (Continued on Page Eight) Austen Chamberlain Gives Formal formation Concerning the Veto Bill.

PRINCE RUPERT JOURNAL Tuesday, February 28, 1911 AGAINST AGREEMENT George E. Foster Gives His Views on the Reciprocity Question. He Sees Danger in tlie Policy Proposed—Destroys Canadian Ideals Anheuser-Busch's mm Specking in the House of Commons 0:1 the reciprocity agreement, George E. Foster, ex-finance minister of Canada declared that the agreement, brought in by the finance minister altogether changed the conditions under which $ 1,800,000,000 of British capital had been invested in the lines of Canadian railways. That, investment, made on the .strength of tlie national policy of protection, which meant national sentiment, was attacked by the proposed policy of reciprocity and capital ready to be invested will surely go to tlie States wliere a stable policy for protection is assured. Both political parties in the States regard [reciprocity as an entering wedge. •Divide and destroy" is their motto. One after another Canadian enterprises will be destroyed and the tendency will be to draw capital and labor from Canada to the States. Moreover, it was known that the ambition of both political parties in the United States was to have a circle from the Rio Grande to the frozen north, inclosing a free trade country, with a tariff wall against the world. Referring to the delegation of l.DlKi fruit growers, Mr. Foster pointed to the fact that Sir Wilfrid Laurier was unable to promise them any remedy or consideration for surrendering Canada's fiscal independence through tlie bargain between Messrs. Fielding and Taft. But Mr. Fielding was careful to keep bis own coal scuttle undamaged and Mr. Patterson to sit tight on bis own biscuit Sox in this arrangement. This allusion to the slight interference with tlie coal duties of Mr. Fielding's province of Nova Scotia and the maintenance of the duty on the product of Mr. Patterson's factory at Brantford, Ontario, evoked cheers. Mr. Foster reminded the House of Sir Wilfrid Laurier's promise not to make any tariff revision until the appointment of a tariff commission —a promise made to the farmers of the west and to parliament during the present session. He charged Sir Wilfrid Laurier with bad faith to the people of the west and to parliament when he lulled every interest into sleep and even said: "Don't fear; there will be no revision of the tariff until a tariff commission has been appointed and an opportunity given all interests to be heard." Another breach of faith by Sir Wilfrid Laurier was bis assurance to the House that there would be no interference with the preference to Great Britain. Ambassador Bryce had similarly advised the home government, and Premier Asquith on the strength of all this assured the imperial parliament that no interference with the preference was involved in the arrangement. The tact was that the government had struck preference its deathblow. Of the 102 items lowered under reciprocity 74 were items in which the British preference was lowered and in 30 the preference was wiped out. These changes involved over six millions, but a small part of Canada's trade, hut the effect was far- reaching. Mow, in the case of items imported from Britain now made I free would the preference he sus-1 tained, asked Mr. Foster, adding, I "Will tlie government give a bounty 011 these?" That a final blow to preference was dealt by this arrangement was: shown by Ihe applause wherewith I in tlie British House of Commons announcement was received that it. forever dished the cause of tariff reform. So perhaps, it. did, bul more-' over it meant that Canada would be impelled to join with tlie United Siaie-s in political as well as fiscal interests. Ilritisb Preference Mr. Foster added that, the unreliable information respecting the effects of the agreement upon Ihe British preference had been supplied to Mr. Asquith and Mr. Bryce at Washington. "Tlie British preference," he de- dared, "has been mangled, lessened or wi|ied onl." Dealing with the effect of reciprocity on Canada, Mr. Foster said that except cheese and ffsh, the United Stales has a surplus of every article Included in the arrangement. But tlie time Is roinlnt, Then the United States will not be able to produce sufficient for home consumption, therefore, with a tariff mum Budweiser Has earned its reputation of being the most popular bottled beer in the world solely because of its superb Quality and Purity.

C. wall against the world, she seeks more raw material and cheaper living, so that, fortified by conservation of its own natural resources and a sacrifice of Canada's she will he able to extend her foreign markets for manufacturing products. Already Liverpool fixed the wheat price for the world, and all *hat will vary the price, will be the cost of transportation, a fact which President Hill of the Great Northern Railway evidently had in hind when he advocated reciprocity, leaving out of the calculation, however, the ne- e-essity of Minneapolis millers having Canadian hard wheat for the highest class of flour. Mr. Foster declared the agreement sorely affected Canada's new policy of conservation of natural resources, inasmuch as it would remove the right of legislatures to prevent the exportation of raw products notwithstanding the advice of the conservation commission. National Considerations Having dealt with the economic side of the question, Mr. Foster said he had no hesitation in approaching it from a national viewpoint. Defence was necessary in times of peace. The American view had always been to drive Canada into union, from the days of the revolution to the present, chiefly by means of harassing and repression, but Canada, having sturdily stood by her position, was today respected a hundred times more by the United States than if she had yielded like a poltroon to such methods to force annexation. Thus, the best of relations prevails, but only the method was changed, and Mr. Taft said Canada had come to the "parting of the ways," which • meant the time had come for Canada to join the United States, and Mr. Taft, recollecting that Mr. Fielding had once advo- cated the separation of tlie maritime provinces from the Dominion and Mr. Patterson had advocated commercial union, thought these two men worth taking. Mr. Taft knew also that Sir Wilfrid Laurier was a political opportunist and seized the time to act before such gentlemen went out of power. Mr. Foster quoted President Taft at Columbus, Ohio, as saying that If the present opportunity for reciprocity were neglected, imperial federation would follow. Canada withstood all the methods of the past, earning thereby the respect of the United States, and should resist this arrangement, calculated to bring out tlie same results. It was conquest of Canada that was aimed at in 1775, in 1812- and subsequently. It was the conquest of Canada that was pushing this policy today—conquest of Canada by peaceful means, banishment of British power from this continent. First the Conservative and then tlie Liberal party, in 1897, abandoned the quest of reciprocity. Under God's providence Canada re- celved the kick of renunciation in ! vilti of reciprocity, for then the Ca nadian spirit began to develop. Mr. Foster, concluding, said: "There is clanger, deep danger. This path now entered leads away from home. I pray, sir, that the full meaning of this first step may soon burst upon the Canadian Parliament and the Canadian people. This land is ours. We have made it, and please God, we shall keep it, as an abiding national home for our children's children to remote generations of happy citizens of an empire whose name is synonymous with liberty, and whose permanence makes for the triumph of the highest civilization and world-wide peace. This proposal cuts square across this ideal, endangers it, may throw it down'entirely. It will weaken the ties of the empire, weaken the affections of new generations, create new attachments, till, like Samson of old, we shall be shorn of our strength." 0 CONTROL OF NORTH SEA German Naval Expert Declares His Country Cannot Hope to Invade England "Rear-Admiral Steige, discussing German naval policy in the Vossiche Zeitung, points out that Garmany's naval exercises and shipbuilding are designed towards the object of keeping the North Sea open, as England's first move in the event of war would certainly be an attempt to close the North Sea, and thus control of all the trade routes, not merely to Germany, but to Holland, Denmark and the Baltic, On the other hand, neither at the present time, nor as far as can be seen in the future, can Germany acquire so strong a position in the North Sea as to enable a landing In England. In short, Germany Is unable to entertain plans of invasion because supremacy at sea is beyond her reach, but England, according to Rear-Admiral Steige, can invade Germany whenever she desires. Of course such a British invasion, owing to the smallness of her army, would be a futile affair, unless it occurred In conjunction with a land invasion by some other power. Rear-Admiral Steige observes: "We fully recognize England's supremacy at sea so far as her worldwide empire compels her to main- lain a navy correspondingly strong. But in view of the necessity of avoiding absolute dependence, as far as our sea-borne trade is concerned, upon the good will of a naval power, it must be emphasized that we are keeping our naval construction at Ihe lowest limit."

ROBERT A. RENWICK, Deputy Commissioner of Lands. Lands Department, Victoria, B. C, June 16th, 1910 (First Insertion July 5.) Tuesday, February 28, 1911 PRINCE RUPERT JOURNAL Germany's Condition Student of Political Economy Points Out That Wealth Is Still Increasing LAND PURCHASE NOTICES Is Germany capable of withstanding the financial strain of its growing armaments, which are already enormous, but which are steadily increasing year by year? The Fatherland has a standing- army of 500,000 men and 3,000,000 in its reserves, Its fleet is rapidly growing. Each year sees an 'additional enormous sum devoted to the construction of Dreadnoughts, more money spent on big guns, higher expenditures for improving the personnel of the navy, and side by side with this enormous and increasing burden, a steady growth in the cost of maintainng the army. The last scheme of taxation introduced by the administration in the summer of 1909 and accepted by the imperial legislature, so raised taxation that there are many who declare the country has reached the limit of endurance. Whether or not this is true is a vital question for Germany, because success in its contest fo rworld supremacy now depends o,i money, and on money alone. One of Germany's greatest political economists and scientists, Prof. Ballod, has just published a highly interesting treatise in which he deals with the question whether the Fatherland's enormous expenditures for military and naval purposes are reducing it to financial ruin. The professor proves by official statistics that Germany's private fortunes have increased $12,500,000,000 within a decade, and the records of fire insurance companies indicate a similar increase in the value of tangible property. Nor is tbe country's prosperity limited to the rich, work- jngmen's wages having shown an average increase of 48 per cent in 22 years. Alongside of this growth in wealth and wages, the professor denies that there has been a corresponding increase in the cost of living. The price of bread, be says, Is not rising, lie asserts that coffee, sugar, tea, clothing and other common necessaries of life are cheaper than they wer a quarter of a century ago. His statistics prove—or Mem to prove—that the per capita consumption of rye, wheat, potatoes, sugar, coffee and particularly beer, is materially increasing. There has also been a considerable per capita increase in the consumption of meat. Altogether, the professor sums up, there can be no question as to the laboring classes' prosperity. From tlie growth of the Fatherland's national wealth, the statistician conies to the conclusion that the country can continue to spend fortunes upon its army and navy without in any way neglecting the great problems of education and social reform with which it is struggling— not unsuccessfully, he adds. Boy—What is a white lie, Pop? Father—Most of the milk we buy, my son. o "What do you think about antitoxin?" "I don't know much about crusade, but I'll join." the First Father—It must have cost yon a lot to send your son to college. Second Father—It did. First Father—And what have you received in return?

Tuesday, February 28, 1911 LOOKING ELSEWHERE Sir Wilfrid Laurier has given the House of Commons the information that his government has no suggestions to make at the Imperial Con ference this year. This is not to be wondered at. It Is more than possi ble that Sir Wilfrid's attention is more directed towards Washington than It is towards London at the present time. In view of the reciprocity arrangements with the United States the question of closer bonds with the Mother Land could hardly be expected to play an important part in the deliberations of the Ottawa government. CANADIAN CLUB The initial luncheon of the Canadian Club in this city was today a grand success. The club is calculated to fill a long-felt want in the community Just as it has done in other parts of the Dominion and even in the United States, where a few Canadian clubs exist, notably in New York. It is a rallying point where all classes may meet on common ground and without distracting appeals to partyism, may listen to an informal address by any one with a message who may come to the city. The institution is one that deserves the fullest support of the citzens of Prince Rupert. THE WAGE QUESTION The city council last evening decided upon its course with respect to the wage proposition. Having in its possession lega: r.7.'. e which '::■ dicated that complications might follow a formal raise In wages the council took a course that should be fair to all. The workmen of the city will be dealt with on their merits by the different employing departments of the city. Wliere it is considered the wages are too small an increase can be made, the minimum wage of 37% cents still remaining. In this way the city cannot be held to have increased the rate to the detriment of the contractors. Tbe city workmen could not as labor men ask for a wage that discriminated between nationalities. It is the boast of the labor organizations that they know no international boundary lines. In view of this a uniform wage had lo be asked. Tbe city council's action seems to indicate that the members of that body are prepared to deal very fairly with the workers. Already a decided disposition is shown to employ men who are permanent residents. This will, it. is to. be expected, be continued. When wages are too low- In any particular line of work these men will be raised and in no case will a lower rate than 37% cents be paid. SEEKING WIVES Thomas Howell Has a Delicate Mis sion in the Old Land on Behalf of Single Men of the West Mr. Thomas Howell arrived from Canada a few days ago in search of 5,000 wives for tbe single farmers and mechanics of the great northwest, says a London, England, despatch in the New York Herald. This Canadian "Davvy," continues tbe Herald, speaking for the army of "Barklses," says tbe English lassies will have the choice of 50,001 bachelors, 30,000 of whom own their ' own farms and tbe rest of whom are mechanics and artisans In the smaller towns. Mr. Howell, by the way, makes the interesting announcement that as a result of his marriage mission tlie Canadian Northern steamships will in future carry a woman officer, who will be known as the 'ship's mother." She will take orders direct from the captain and rank next to him. A special uniform Is being designed .for her with three gold braid rings on her sleeves in the approved naval style. She will lake her meals In the saloon at the captain's table and be in command of her own staff of assistants. The women who will fill these positions have ahead} been chosen, and their names nave been submitted for the approval of the National Council of Canadian Women. The duty of the ship's mother will be lo see to everything affecting the comfort and well being of the women passengers. She will have the fullest powers and be entitled to enter any woman's cabin at any hour of the day or night. Mr. Fred Salter, European manager of the Grand Trunk Railway, says: "Western Canada is full of men who are willing to become the best husbands English girls could wish for. These men are a fine type, many of them college bred. English girls must not think that the Canadian farmer is a big red-sbirted, bearded man, with bettiing brows, and whose clothes bristle with bowie knives and revolvers. On the contrary, they are decent, hard-working, thrifty, ambitious and the best physical specimens in the world. "It is hard to understand why Canadians must come so far afield for wives when there are hundreds of thousands of bright, beautiful American girls, full of life and intelligence, in the manufacturing centres of the United States, all waiting to be asked by these Canadian Bar- kisses," comments the Herald. "The only conclusion that can be drawn is that his is another development of the 'imperial preference' policy. What ho!" Local News The use of the sidewalk by teams alongside of the Exchange Block at the corner of Third avenue and Sixth street has been stopped. It was decided by the council last evening to post notices forbidding the use of it. Stalker & Wells called the attention of the city council to a dangerous place at the corner of McBride and Second avenue and recommended that a light or a railing be placed there. It was referred to the streets committee last evening. At. the council meeting last evening tlie opinion of C. V. Bennett was read relative to the claim put in by Williams and Manson for pay after tlie date of the dispensing with their services as city solicitors. The opinion of Mr. Bennett was that the (•'.aim was not a good one. o EDMONTON POWER Proposition Made to the Prairie City to Supply It with Electricity A proposition to turn over to the city of Edmonton at the end of three years an equipment complete, capable of delivering at the corporation line 20,000 horsepower of electrical energy from Rocky Rapids, on the Saskatchewan river, 60 miles from Edmonton, for the sum of three million dollars has been made by the Edmonton Heat and Power Company at a meeting of the Edmonton city council and the public works committee. At the present title the the company owns only the right to develop power at the Rapids for 84 years. The plant as it would be delivered would include tbe right to develop power at the Rapids; the dam which would have to be put across the river; the necessary machinery for developing 20,000 horsepower; a two- circuit transmission line to the city, and a sub-station. The alternative proposition, that the city should sign a contract to take 10,000 horsepower from the company for the next thirty years at $27 per horsepower—a total payment annually of $270,000, The proposition to sell the completed plant was the one, however, to which most of two hours' discussion was devoted. The company offered to lake off $2iMl,n()0 from the $3,000,- 000 providing they supplied tlie machinery to develop only 10,000 horsepower. o AN ALL-RED FEATURE Festival of Empire Will Have Display Illustrative of Colonial Scenes and Epochs An exceedingly interesting feature of the Festival of Empire, which opens at the Crystal Palace in May, will be the All-Red Route, which will consist of a railway and steamboat service running through Hie Empire City in the extensive grounds of the Palace wliere the government buildings of tbe various dominions of the Empire are located. The work of construction has now been commenced. A trip on tlie All-Red Route will enable the visitor to the festival lo obtain a glimpse of our ast empkire, the beamy and Industrial and productive wealth of tlie various colonies. Tlie railway line, is one and a half miles in length, and the passenger is for the greater part, under cover, yet seeing open scenes. Boarding the electric train at the Pageant Station, the passenger is taken on a complete trip round the Empire so to speak, the first stopping place being Newfoundland. Through a covered way the exhibition building of the oldest colony is entered. Here a complete paper- making plant will be one of the chief features of interest. From Newfoundland the train proceeds to Canada, and the first view of this great dominion is a vast stretch of forest land, with groups of men busily engaged in felling and clearing timber. Then the train is transferred with its full complement of passengers to an ocean ferry, and thence to Jamaica. The next sight is a Malay village, followed hy India with its historic temples, tbence we traverse jungles, palaces, bazaars and other scenes typical of the east. Australia and New Zealand follow next with a host of interesting features i'lustrative of Ihe marvellous development of Australasia. The homeward journey is made by way of the Cape, where realistic representations are given of scenes on the veldt, natives engaged In various pursuits and gold mines in full operation. "The "Round the Empire" trip by the All-Red Route occupies about 20 minutes. A huge model of the exhibition grounds with its various colonial government buildings and a working model of the All-Red Route is now on view to the public in a special building in the Strand, which has become one of the sights of London, as many as 10,000 persons having viewed it daily during the past fortnight. Wheat Grown in Nine Weeks A strikingly interesting feature of the country life section of the Festival Empire will be a demonstration farm, which should be of great interest to visitors from the overseas. This will be a field of wheat which is matured and reaped nine weeks after sowing. This will be a revolution, for it will be the quickest crop ever grown in the Mother Country. It is the result of a new scientific, process, which promises the farmer independence of weather, sure harvests, more abundant ones, and reduced expenditure. o G. T. BRANCH LINK VANCOUVER—The Grand Trunk Pacific Railway has finished a pre- limnary stirey of that portion of its proposed Fort George-Vancouver branch between Harrison lake and Fort George. Three survey parties engaged at the work have been disbanded. Their various members have been notified to hold themselves in readiness for service early this spring. This is taken.as an indication that the company will also undertake a preliminary survey of a line from Pemberton Meadows via Green Lake to Newport at the head of Howe Sound and thence down the coast to North Vancouver. No surveys between Harrison Lake and this city have yet been made. The maximum gradient secured for the entire distance between Harrison Lake and Fort George was a trifle over four-tenths of one per cent, with the exception of a short section between Lillooet and Anderson Lakes, averaging about one per cent. Some of the rock work on the Fraser above Lillooet will be heavy, almost rivalling the cost of construction of the C. P. R. through the Fraser River canyon below Lyt- ton. It is claimed that the alternative route from Pemberton Meadows, touched by the recent survey, via Howe Sound, will effect a shortening of Ihe distance by over sixty miles, as compared with a line down the Lillooet River, Harrison Lake and down the Fraser River valley to Vancouver. A grade would have to li.- blasted along the rocky bluffs of Harrison Lake for its entire length. The same problem would have to be faced In constructing a line from Howe Sound to Nortli Vancouver. As the question of cost and saving of distance favors the Howe Sound route, it is regarded as likely that details of its feasibility will be secured before any final decision is reached. Meantime the reports of the recent surveys have been transmitted to President Hays and Chief Engineer Kelliher at Montreal. They are expected to give orders shortly respecting the coming season's work in the field. o Two negro men came up to the outskirts of a crowd where Senator Bailey was making a campaign speech.

Tuesday, February 28, 1911 PRINCE RUPERT JOURNAL SPORTS MAY GO EAST The New Westminster lacrosse team, holders of the Mlnto Cup and champions of the lacrosse world, will be invited this year by the Nationals of Montreal, to take a trip east to play a series of exhibtion games in Eastern Canada. As the coast boys have not had a trip of this nature for some time it Is protv able that the offer will be accepted. The Salmon Bellies would bo a great drawing card in the east and they should be able to pull a pretty big guarantee from the Nationals and other eastern teams with whom they will arrange matches. A trip of the Royals to the east will probably decide once and for all whether it Is the Pacific coast climate which prevents eastern teams from lifting the Minto Cup or as local lacrosse fans believe, the superior style of lacrosse played on the coast. The matter has not yet been brought to the attention of the local club. In the event of arrangements of this nature being made, however, a space will be left in the B. C. L. A. schedule to allow of the trip. It is also possible that Tommy Glfford may be persuaded to play just one more season in order to help the boys make a good showing in the proposed trip to the east. The following despatch from Montreal shows how the Nationals look at the question: "Mr. Gagnon, the new secretary of the National Lacrosse Club, states that the Nationals Intend to branch out this coming season and make a little more money. 'We lost money last year,' he said, 'that is, we did not actually lose it, but we might have taken in a good deal more if we had been able to provide accommodation for the thousands of people whom We wer obliged to turn away. Therefore, we will build some new stands this spring, and as We intend to try and bring the New Westminster team here for some exhibtion games, we will start In with one good attraction anyhow.' " EXPERT WING SHOOTING "Gun-pointing is the secret of wing-shooting," said Charles Askins, in Outing. He says: "The old manner of shooting a shot gun was close one eye and squint low over the breech, theoretically never pulling the trigger until the front bead was accurately aligned upon the target. Many an old veteran still speaks learnedly of 'drawing a bead' on the game. "The 'one eye' method of sighting a shot gun is not altogether obsolete yet. Many a veteran sportsman has shot long and successfully In this way, and will not change; neither Is there good reason why he should, for it is hard to teach an old dog new tricks, nor does he learn them quite so well a she knew the old. Never theless it Is true that few or no experts ever close an eye in aiming today, though some of them in effect sight exactly the same as though they did. "One eye sighting is distinctly slow, and is not adapted to killing game that in the nature of its flight is either Imperfectly outlined or rapidly gets beyond range. "Gun-pointing was the recognized manner of aiming of all our west- ern 'bad men,' and gun fighters whose gun play was entirely too rapid to be directed by any description of gun sights. "Shooting a pistol in the old western way consisted simply in extending the hand quickly in the direction of the target and pulling on the instant. This one band gun pointing is the most natural method and the easiest to acquire because wo have been at It a good many years before we ever gripped a gun. "Shooting a shot gun differs from It only In that the piece is pointed with both hands in place of one, and while the method Is more difficult to acquire it is steadier and more reliable, because with the butt of the weapon at the shoulder and both bands holding it, we have a firmer control than if the piece were directed entirely with one hand." ATHLETIC POLICEMAN ' New Westminster now boasts of an athletic policeman, an ex- la-crosse player and an all round athlete, and woe betide the law>- breaker who opposes his will. This latest addition to the ranks of the officers of the law in this city Is Harry Robinson, who formerly played lacrosse with the Montreal Shamrocks. Six i'eet three inches tall and built in proportion he looks well able to sustain the reputation of the force. Robinson, In spite of his size, was a pretty fast home player when with the Shamrocks and was a member of the team which came west to endeavor to play exhibtion games with the New Westminster team a few years ago. He has quit the game now, but works up considerable enthusiasm in talking over old lacrosse battles. He has served on the Winnipeg and Calgary police forces and is an experienced man. Besides lacrosse he knows quite a bit about the boxing and wrestling game. He Is not in uniform yet because there was not a uniform large enough to fit him and an extra special size had to be ordered for his own especial use. LESSONS FOB WRESTLERS Considering the fact that it Is the end of February and no definite move has been made as yet with relation to the match between Gotch and Hackenschmidt;, the grappling fans are speculating as to what the ultimate outcome will be. Until such time as a club makes a tempting offer it is doubtful if there will be any move made toward the signing of articles. Up to this time Hackenschmidt has wrestled from the Maine Coast to the Rocky Mountains and. from the Great Lakes to the Gulf. He has been on the go continuously, meet- ing the largest and toughest men In the country. He is unquestionably in the best condition he has ever been in during his career and should be able to give the champion the best argument he has ever been up against. One of the busiest of the more prominent wrestlers is Zybszco. The Pole has been staging most 'of the affairs in the east. When it comes to piling up a bank account, Zbyszco is about the smoothest of them all. He has made a good card of himself, and has an insight into commercial methods that keeps him annexing velvet while the others are spending a lot of their time in conversation. During the season of 1909-10 it is said that Zbyszco went back to Europe with $73,000 profit. This was unquestionably the largest net shown by any wrestler in the world. The tour of Hackenschmidt, however .should net a great deal more than this, because Hack pulls larger gates and a heavier rate of remuneration than any of tha. others. The very natural disposition on tho, part of the Americans to knock the foreigners doesn't argue away the fact hat these same foreign wrestlers are gathering in enormous purses, and have the sun shining on both sides of the street every day during the season. Both Hackenschmidt and Zbyszco are on the go continuously, and the American wrestlers are open to an object lesson—and it will not* take them very long to wake up to the fact, that less | talk and more hard work may pile up a balance on the right side of the ledger in the shortest space of time. ^ Hackeiisclimidt's Plan When the present season has terminated it Is the plan of Jack Corley to take George Hackenschmidt on a tour of the world—touching not only every important point on the civilized map, but also mixing up with the heathens. In India, China and Japan the Russian Lion will probably tackle the toughest propositions of all. He is, however, well versed in the mat lore of the world and is anxious to meet with the best of men of all nations for the satisfaction of seeing bow good he is himself. There is no question that there are grap- plers on this old sphere whose abilities are far beyond the ordinary, but whose fame is so purely localized We would not recognize their names If wes aw I hem in print. In Europe and in tlie United States wrestling has become an Important profession ,and the stars are pa'el on tiie basis of their names and ability—just as though they were twinkling in the theatrical skies. But in tbe Orient wliere advertising has not reached the high point of perfection it has attained in the Oc cident—the wrestlers go on at smaller purses, and almost purely for tlie local honors bestowed upon them. It Is going to be Hackenschmidt's business to bun out the best men in all these countries and when his tour is completed there will be no question in bis mind as to the relative merits of all the best men in the world. There has never been a time in the history of athletics when wrestling was so universally popular as it Is today—and it is doubtful if the next three or four generations will have so many finished men as those who represent the different nationalities and sections at this time. ************************** I Shipping Report I * * •:• Bv Dominion Wireless. * * * ************************** February 28—8 a. m.

The Crown of Galicia will also have freight for Comox and Powell River pulp works, and In addition will be the first deep sea vessel to go to Ocean Falls, for which point she has pulp-making machinery. This is quite a new departure in local shipping . The Crown of Galicia will be remembered as the first vessel to complete discharging a cargo of rails at Prince Rupert, and she is one of the finest tramp steamers that has come to this coast. Hi-Weekly Service The Grand Trunk Pacific steamer Prince Rupert, which has been laid up at Victoria during the winter will return to the Prince Rupert run on March' 4, in all probability, replacing the Prince George. After a lay up of about six weeks for overhauling the Prince George will return to the route, and the summer bi-weekly service will be resumed. Captain Barney Johnson will continue as skipper of the Prince Rupert and Captain Robertson will remain with the Prince George. During her lay off the Prince Rupert has been fitted with a spacious refrigerating plant for carrying large quantities of fresh meat and other perishable cargo, in anticipation of a great spring rush to the north the schedule of the bi-weekly service is now being arranged, and will soon be Issued.

PRINCE RUPERT JOURNAL Tuesday, February 28, 1911 FRUIT MEN'S VIEWS Those Engaged in Industry in Lower Mainland are Opposed to Reciprocity Arrangement Th, Question of Trade with United States Dealt with by Or- cliardists The Fraser Valley Record has been ascertaining the views of prominent fruit growers of the Mission district on the reciprocity agreement as it concerns tlie fruit industry locally. The concensus of opinion is that the Fielding-Knox bargain Is unjust to the British Columbia fruit grower. Among tlie views published is the following from Mr. A. Brea- ley: "It sems to me tlie Dominion government should not go into this agreement without thoroughly taking into consideration all sides of the question, and look into bow it is going to affect the different provinces as it does not seem for to sacrifice one for the sake of the other. "Regarding fruit in British Columbia, I have been in the business now for fourteen years and it appears to me that this province has been left in the cold. It costs us more to clear than it does in Washington, or Oregon. I have been in both of these states and their clearing on an average is nothing to urs. Another thing, In this province we have no orchards twenty years old, while in the above states mentioned there are hundreds of acres of orchards, and tlie time has come with them that they have to find other markets besides their own. Only three years ago they were selling strawberries for three cents a pound. Now this price would hardly cover expenses for packing over here. "Another point, and a very serious one for tlie -British Columbia fruit growers is that every variety of fruit that the growers on the other side raise, come to our market a week earlier than ours and they get fancy prices, consequently by the time that our fruit begins to show on the market the Americans cut the prices down and down until we are hardly making a cent. They can afford to do this because it is the surplus they are selling and what with big prices to begin with they can af- 1 ford to almost give it away. This in tlie face of tlie present duty. What will it lie without the duty at all? Why the commission houses will have a bonanza as the consumer will not get the benefit. That is where the public are making their great mistake as it will be the mid dlenien who will make tbe money and not the consumer. "If you have watched the market of tlie northwest, you will know that tlie .Americans hold the trump card. They are the ones who run the market not the Canadian growers, and does it seem common sense that because they have the duty of five cents or fifty cents a case taken off that they are going to. give the northwest farmer the difference? I think he will find that they will put this into their own pocket and he will not be one cent ahead of the game. "When there is a slump of any kind the American grower can better afford to stand the slump on account of his having got big prices in the first, place. Why more llian probably the Canadian grower has only just started to ship and consequently loses his whole crop. Now you can see what his means If you take the little protection we have got oft.

The natives call it the water elephant, on account of its aquaitlc habits. Lepetit, one of the explorers sent by the Paris Museum of Natural History, says that at Tombaniayl, on the northern shore of Lake Leopold, in the district of Lukeni, Belgian Congo, ne saw five of these animals which halted at a distance of 500 yards, enabling him to observe them for some seconds before they plunged into the lake. "Their trunks and ears are remarkably short; the neck is longer than an elephant's, and the height does not exceed about six feet; the footprints in the mud are different from an elephant's. The animals, on catching sight of travellers, plunge into the water, leaving only the summits of their heads and trunks exposed." These details, coming from a trained observer are sufficiently precise to leave no doubt of the existence of the animal. ARTISTIC OFFICES G. T. P. Has Opened up-to-date Apartments for Sale of Tickets, Etc., iii Victoria City THE GRAVES ABOVE ASSUAN Lessons of the Past Taught by the Obliterating of the Burial Places on the Nile The report of the penitentiaries branch of the Departmonl of Justice, Canada, gives the average daily pop- ulation of Canadian penitentiaries, during the pasl fiscal year, us I,s24, compared with 1,625 in the preceding year. In view of the Influx of foreign Immigrants, the number of foreign-born convicts 1ms Increased from fourteen per cenl in 1900, to twenty ppr cent in 1910. The discovery of forgotten races, the decipherment of ancient languages from scratches and obscure marks, the bringing to life again of civilizations whose history seemed obliterated, and other triumphs of archaeology, make us close our eyes to the often unpleasant means by which the knowledge is acquired, says the New York Sun. We may dislike to think that our twentieth century life may be judged a few thousand years hence from the evidence scraped out of our rubbish heaps; tlie repugnance at the rifling of the graveyard is stronger, even if it is called a necropolis and its inmates have slept in it for many centuries. Even mode unpleasant In its demands is the science of anthropology, and only the importance of investigation on a large scale that has been made on the Nubian Border of Egypt. When it was decided to raise the AssuBn dam thirty-three feet it was clear that the Nile banks for miles back would be put under water. The effort to prevent the Improvement so as to save the temples at Philae will be remembered. The waters would also flood the cemeteries in a region of peculiar historic importance, the borderlang between the Egyptians and tlie black races from the earliest times, and tlie Egyptian government appointed a commission of archaeologists and anatomists to examine the (burial grounds before tlie dam was closed. The commission did its work thoroughly; il found cemteries of many dates, from 3000 B. C. to 500 A. D., and abundant, material. The doctors especially obtained clear evidence about the matters they were interested in, for they found 2000 bodies In one cemetery alone, many so perfect that, as the Lancet puts it, "their examination took more than a mere osteo- logical inventory." Their report will throw a flood of light on the history of human pathology, wholly apart, from the' anthropological information it contains. Siimc Interesting genralizatlona the Lancet reports. They have settled ihe. fact that the earliest Egyp- lians were not embalmed bul wen' mummified by the hot sand in which they were burled; thai the disordered condition of the bones Is tluc to the work of plunderers en- lircly, who disturbed the graves in the search for treasure, and not to any burial customs nor as the result of cannibal habits; that the preparation of the mummy was not attended by an elaborate ritual, but was entrusted to embalmers who were often extremely careless. The report, according to the Lancet, puts an end to many theories which the Egyptologists have constructed from single cases or accidents to the mummies, More general interest will he taken, we imagine, In the tracing back to the days of the Pharaohs the' diseases with which ninn- liiiul is now afflicted.

Duperow, general agent of the Grand Trunk Pacific and his staff held "open house" at the new ticket offices opened by the company on wharf street, says the Victoria Colonist. With Mr. Duperow, acting as hosts to many Victorians, Mr. Harold F. Brown, freight and dock agent, Messrs. Chas. Earle and R. Backus aided in dispensing hospitality. The new city passenger and ticket office on Wharf street has just been completed, and the office staff lias just moved in. The building is of attractive appearance, built of brick and stone, lint it is not until the inside is seen that the care and thought taken to give comfort to the patrons becomes apparent. Approaching the office one Is struck with the artistic trade marks as displayed in the upper windows, of the different companies interested, viz.: the Grand Trunk Railway System, the Grand Trunk Pacific Coast Steamship Co., and the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway. These are done mostly In black and gold, except the house flag of the steamship line which is in red, white and green, with a maple leaf for the centre. The waiting rooms are spacious and particularly well lighted, giving an uninterrupted view of the inner harbor, the Causeway arid Government street. Those rooms and In fact the'whole Interior of the building are panelled with selected British Columbia fir of beautiful grain that shows up well. The waiting rooms are provided with wash and toilet rooms for the convenience of the traveling public. The walls of the waiting rooms as we'll as of the general ticket office display many pictures of important points on the lines interested. These were taken by the companies' own artist and are true representations of the places indicated. They were framed by Som- mers, in early English oak. A passage way of twelve feet extends from the waiting rooms to the rear door, which enables passengers to go direct from the office to the steamers. The general ticket office is roomy and is provided with a specially constructed counter, by Weiler Brothers, which has all the latest devices necessary for the handling with despatch of passenger business. This office and the general waiting room is heavily beamed, thus adding a tone and general appearance of stability to tlie appearance. Adjoining the general office is the private office of the city passenger and ticket agent, which office is specially fitted up and where parties contemplating extended trips or unusual outings may consult in comfort and receive information as to the most advantageous ways and means of making such trips. The lighting arangements require special mention as there is nothing like it in the ctly of Victoria. The lights are concealed in large fixtures of bronze finish and these bear the trade marks of the Grand Trunk System. The light is thrown on the ceiling and diffuses, making it soft and easy on the eye, in fact the nearest, approach to daylight possible. These were installed by the Hinton Electric Co. Tlie building is heated witli hot water and ample radiators have been installed to ensure comfort. The settees will be in a position in a few days and will be massive and of a design to harmonize with the other fittings. LAND PURCHASE NOTICE.

"The Masset Re- vlev," Masset, Q.C.I Tuesday, February 28, 1911 PRINCE RUPERT JOURNAL CORONATION RIGHTS Rivalry Among Many Claimants for Offices in Connection With Event. Ancient Prerogatives Give Trouble to Decide Who Shall Appear in Them If there is one dominating note about the court of claims, which was recently in session here, It Is heredity and succession. Coronation rights of service arose at a time when tbe performance of service to the crown was more in the naturen of a duty, often expensive and undesired, than the coveted privilege It is now esteemed. For this reason the crown Imposed tbe bulk of these services as conditions attached to the gift of land. This is not exactly hereditary succession, but what is known in law as grand serjeanty, which Coke defines as "where a man holds his lands or tenements of our sovereign lord the king by such services as he ought to do in his proper person to the king." Procedure of the Court The cases dealt with on the occasion of the last sitting of the court prior to the coronation of King Edward VII are (a) claims as of right on which judgment was delivered by the court; (b) cases argued before the court, but on which no order was made; (c) cases in which no claim of right was made; td) cases not argued, and on which no order was made, and (e) cases excluded from the consideration of the court by the terms of the proclamation. These last include some of those which are of the greatest historical interest, but were excluded because by proclamation the coronation banquet was dispensed with, and the rights of service claimed were in relation to the banquet in Westminster Abbey. King's Champion Probably the most interesting of all the claims put forward is that of Mr. Dymoke, the honorable the king's champion, by reason of his tenure of the Manor of Scrivelsby. This, of course, is a banquet claim, the service being performed in Westminster Hall, when the champion rides in, throws down his glove and challenges anyone to deny the right of the king to the throne. Another claim relating to the banquet was that of chief butler, for which office there were three claimants, viz.: the Duke of Norfolk, who claimed it as an appendage of his earldom of Arundel; Lord Mowbray and Stour- ton, who claimed it as an hereditary office to which he was the heir, and Mr. F. O. Taylor, who claimed it by reason of his tenure of the Manor of Kenninghall. The manors of Scoulton, Eston, Shipton Moyne and Eddington are held by grand sei.Ieanty, the service being that of the office of la-dertr. Lord Estcourt, as owner of the Manor of Shipton Moyne, claimed it in 1901, while Miss Wilshire, as lady of the Manor of Great and Little Wymondley, claimed "to serve the king on the day of his coronation with the first cup, being a silver cup gilt, of which the king shall drink at his dinner and to have the same cup for her fee." The Manor of Worksop is held by the service of finding a glove for the king's right hand, and the claim of the Duke of Newcastle, as owner of the manor, was allowed on the last occasion. The glove has to be ein- brodered with the arms of the Verdun family, to whom the office was first granted. A .Mess of Dtllegrout" The Manor of Addtngton is held by the service of presenting "a mess of dlllegrout," The Archbishop of Canterbury, as owner of the manor, had his claim allowed In 1821 at the coronation of George IV, but since then no claim has been made, as no banquet has been held. The Manor of Ileydon was held by the service of providing and holding for the king a towel when he washes before the banquet, and the claims of the Soames as lords of the manor were allowed through a long series of generations, the last occasion being 1821. The barons of the Cinque Ports carry the canopy over the king; the lord mayor of London has a right to attend the ceremony, and the Walker trustees, as owning the of- ' flee of usher of the White Rod of Scotland, appoint a deputy to attend and officiate. The claims of the Earl of Lauderdale, Mr. Scrymgeour, gave rise to a most interesting legal fight for the office of hereditary standard bearer of Scotland, the office being adjudged to Mr. Wedderburn. The fight has since been continued in other courts, the final result being in favor of Mr. Wedderburn. The claims to carry the great spurs, which were submitted by Lord Grey de Rutbyn, the Earl of Loudoun and Lord Hastings were not decided. The claim of the Dean and Chapter of Westminster, "to Instruct the king and queen in the rites and ceremonies of the coronation," was allowed. Some of the claims, both those allowed and disallowed, are quaint in the extreme. o OPPOSED BY LIBERALS Toronto Citizens of Reform Stamp Sign Petition Against Reciprocity Eighteen of Toronto's most prominent Liberals, all substantial and influential financiers, merchants or manufacturers, have signed a statement setting forth their opposition to the proposed reciprocity agreement, says a despatch. It says in part: "It is essential to the continued national untiy and development of Canada that no trade relations should be agreed to on any basis which would check the growth and development of trade between the various parts of Canada, or between Canada and the various parts of the Empire, and because the proposed reciprocity agreement would seriously check the growth of this trade. "The present benefit to any section of Canada, or to any interests or individuals therein which might accrue from the proposed agreement would be more than offset by the loss and injury which would accrue to other sections, interests and individuals, and because the result to Canada as a whole would be greatly injurious. "The freedom of action possessed by Canada with reference to her tariff and channels of trade would be greatly curtailed and she would be hampered In developing her resources in her own way and by her own people. "After some years of reciprocity tlie channels of Canada's trade would have become so changed that a termination of the agreement and a return to a protective tariff against Canada would disturb trade to an unparalleled extent, a risk which should not be voluntarily undertaken by Canada. "To avoid such a disruption, Canada would be forced to extend the scope of the agreement so as to In clude manufactures and other things, "The agreement as proposed, would weaken the ties which bind Canada to the empire and because the unrestricted reciprocity which would naturally follow would still further weaken these ties and make it more difficult to avert potilical union with the United States. "To avoid such a disruption, Canada would be forced to extend the scope of the agreement so as to Include manufactures and other things. "The agreement as proposed, would weaken the ties which bind Canada to the empire and because the unrestricted reciprocity which naturally follow would still further weaken these ties and make it more difficult to avert political union with the United States. "The disruption of Canada's trade caused by the termination of the reciprocity treat yof 1854 and the subsequent establishment of the United States protective tariff gave rise to a decided leaning towards annexation with the United States, and this at a time when Canada was mainly peopled by native-born Canadians and other British subjects to whom the prospect of annexation was most unwelcome, and because Canada will soon have millions of newcomers from foreign countries, and if Canada should then have to choose between disruption of her channels of trade with the United States or political union with them the preservation of Canadian autonomy and Canadian nationality would be enormously more difficult."

Now, shall I turn her off, or will you? "Will you come around tomorrow and play bridge?"

Some of (lie Objections Which Eastern Statesman Urges Against It Sir James Whitney, Premier of Ontario, cables the the London Express that President Taft struck the keynote of the reciprocity matter when he said that "Canada is at the parting of the ways." The idea hidden under this expression indicates the view held for many years by a Intelligent Americans, namely, that when the proper time conies, Canada will drop away from the British Em pire, like a ripe fruit from a tree. "Mr. Clark said nothing more than has been said day after day by the best men in the United States, continues Sir James. "I cannot quote tnem in this short statement but the language of Senators Bever ldge and Hill and others puts the desire and intention and belief of the American people beyond doubt. Canada's manhood began, after, and perhaps on account of, the abrogation of tlie old reciprocity treaty. We have risen to manhood, our in- terprovincial relations are complete and satisfactory, and there is the intense desire and indeed the determination on the part of our people to elaborate and strengthen the ties which bind us to the empire with a view to continuity of British rule and British institution in North America. Reciprocity will mean the undoing of the work of years. Our transportation facilities which cost hundreds of millions of dollars will be, perhaps, fatally injured; the aspirations of Canadians for imperial and national unity throttled; and as the American press declares this latter question will thus be headed off and settled forever. Our inter- provincial trade will be ruined and the progress and growth of our great cities stopped. In fact the orange will be sucked dry and the skin left with us. "As the Washington Star thoughtfully observes: The isolation and humiliation of coloniel position will not be forever endurable. Meanwhile there is full reciprocity in exchange of citizens and a steady Americanization. However, Canadians will not submit tamely to being wiped off the mat." THE SCHOOL SITUATION (Continued From Page One.) with the understanding when the school was opened. There will probably be accommodation provided for the pupils who take their lunches, during the time they are eating them, in the rooms not at. present occupied as classrooms. These will be fitted up for the pnrpose with the desks now on hand. The condition of the old school was brought up and the need that might arise to use it at some time. It had been reported to the Board that the place was not, locked, but was open day and night. The chimney was not left in a safe condition, It was also reported. It was decided to communicate with those in charge of the Boy Scouts and the commanding officer of Earl Grey's Rifles and request that these organizations take steps to have the building locked, except when In use, have the chimney attended to and the building kept In good shape In accordance with the understanding upon which it was permitted to be used. The question of insurance on the new building came up when a request from the government that the Trustees should bear one-half of the insurance carried before the building was occupied was dealt with. It was decided to inform the department that the Board did not feel that it was in any way responsible until the building was occupied. A request from A. J. Prudhomme that the Board bear a share of the insurance since the building was occupied was referred to the chairman and Secretary Saule to take up with Mr. Prudhomme and the government agent looking to reaching a settle ment. The subject of substitute teachers was introduced when the trustees expressed the wish that whenever a teacher was unable to attend school the principal should take steps to secure as quickly as possible a substitute, the policy of the Board being against closing the rooms. o ITS FIRST LUNCHEON (Continued From Page One.) from that drifted into the customs of the Indians. In this latter connection tlie totem poles were referred to. He gave facts connected with these showing that there was a mythology surrounding the characters which were pictured on the poles as well as a historical side to them. The first discovery of gold on the Queen Charlottes was referred to and in concluding the Archdeacon made a strong plea for the Indians. He suggested, that the government might with advantage treat them as men. They might have the reserves subdivided and definite tracts given each one so as to encourage them in the cultivation of the lands. Aid. Vernor Smith moved a vote of thanks which was seconded by G. R. Naden. o HUDSON'S BAY COMPANY \ Mr. O. 0. Cliipiiinii, for 20 Years Commissioner of the Company, Will Retire This .Year Mr. C. C. Chipman, who for 20 years filled the post of commissioner of the Hudson's Bay Company, will before the close of the current year retire from the active control oi the affairs of the company in the Canadian west. Mr. Chipman will leave Winnipeg for England. Mr. Chipman is a Nova Scotlan, having been born in Amherst, N. S., on May 24, 1856. PEARS IMPERIAL FEDERATION Mr. James J. Hill, in an address delivered at St. Paul, Minn., admitted {hat he bad boosted reciprocity with Canada, but denied that he had put in any money to push the agreement through. "Now is the only time to get the measure through," said Mr. Hill, "as Imperial Federation will forestall any future move. If action is taken now," he continued, "it will mean a terrific expansion of the entire western portion of America." MOKE STEEL ARRIVES Another Shipload of Rails Reaches Port from Sydney, C. H. The steamer Skogstadt, Captain Rhyning, has reached port from Sydney, C. B., with 4,700 tons of rails and acessorles for the G. T. P. , Tbe steamer had a quick run, leaving Sydney early In December. OPENING THE BAYS Question Affecting Waterfront is Now Before Authorities at " Ottawa. Eastern Solicitor's Opinion Is That It Will (io to the Railway Commissioners The council last evening had read before them communications relative to the opening of the bays along the waterfront. Hon. W. Templeman wrote that he had, in response to the request of the council, referred the matter to Pringle & Guthrie to take up with the government. The latter law firm reported upon the standing of the case. It had come up before the Minister of Railways, who reserved his judgment. D'Arcy Tate, the letter- said, had on behalf of the G. T. P. claimed that the company was building on its own lands and therefore the matter did not come within the jurisdiction of the railway commission. The company had only to secure the sanction of the Minister of Railways and the Minister of Marine and Fisheries. Messrs. Pringle & Guthrie expressed the opinion that the Minister would force the company before the Prince Rupert Commission, when the city could present its claims. POLICY REACHED BY COUNCIL ON WAGES (Continued from Page One) pie of law it would have a damaging effect in that it might not only reduce the possible profits of the contractors but delay the work to an unreasonable extent and thus entitle contractors to an action of damages against the city. I am of the opinion that it would be unwise, at least until the completion of the present contracts, to so interfere with the wage scale as to incur the possibility of the city becoming involved in a series of actions for damages. "Your obedient servant, C. V. BENNETT." Accompanying the opinion was the report of the committee of the council which was adopted without any division. It was as follows: "To the Mayor and City Council: "Gentlemen:—The committee of the whole recommend that on account of the possible legal difficul- culties arising, the committee do not deem it advisable to pass any resolution through the council dealing with the wage scale as presented by the Industrial association. Your committee, however, are strongly impressed with the unusual conditions obtaining here, and that many of the city employees are not receiving sufficient pay for work to enable them to procure the real necessities of life and recommend that immediate steps be taken by members of the various committees to better the condition of these men. "G. W. KERR, "Chairman." There was a large attendance of workers at the city hall last evening in view of the expected action by the council. Long before the doors of the hail were opened, the throng gathered about the place and some of the members of the council had to find a way of entering by the back door or even by the windows of the -hall. There was no demonstration on the part of the men and no representations made by them. After the decision was announced the workers left the city hall. •;■ * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *n * ef * * * * * , * i Remember! * * I That we V V A A I Import I Our Wines \ direct from Europe; and that f no house in Prince Rupert can l equal t'hem for quality.
