SKEENA THE PREMIER DISTRICT VINCE NEW BRITISH COLUMBIA WILL SEE ACTIVE YEAR Eyes are Turned in This Direction and the Mining and Agricultural Sections Will be Invaded by Large Numbers—Prince Rupert as the Centre of the Rich Area Will Derive Great Benefits From the Influx. / The estimated expenditure for the fiscal year by the Provincial Government shows that New British Columbia is very much in the eye of the members of the administration. The vote of $225,000 to be expended upon the roads and trails, Independent of the other large expenditures in connection with public work in the district is an assurance that the Government recognizes ihat the country is to make rapid advances and the facilities are to be provided to enable this development to take place. The grant made to this district is the largest that goes to any one of the districts in the province. There was a time when the Okanagan and Similkameen were tlie envy of the various representatives in the legislature. These districts with the vast agricultural development going on in them were made the recipients of large appropriations, tlie largest in the province. There was no denying the money was needed there to keep pace with the settlement that was flowing in. Now, however, the situation is changed and while the appropriations of these interior districts mentioned are not cut down the government has come to realize that there is a vast area in Ihe ********* * * ****** ******* north that requires a very heavy expenditure of public funds to keep pace with the rapid demand for farm lands and for industrial development. , Okanagan the next largest appropriation in the province is $156,001), which is considerably lower than Skeena. Member Dill Well The member for district, Mayor .Manson, has shown his ability as an appropriation getter. When it is realized that there are strong demands upon the Government from every part of the province the task of getting what he did is not an easy one. The member for the district has the reputation of staying with any proposition he has in hand and there is no question that he lost no time in fireworks while in the capital hul that lie stayed with hit i appropriations and the results should be most gratifying. The money so appropriated will not be spent directly in Prince Rupert but in the distribution of it the ; city will lie a gainer, for the most of it will eventually find Its way I back lo Prince Rupert the centre of j the district and the permanent source of supply. Cariboo's Development The appropriation of $150,000 to COMING INTO ITS OWN The votes set aside by the Provincial Government this session * for tne Skeena District are a sufficient guarantee that for the * next few years, at least, the efforts of the administratoin are to be * directed towards the opening up of this district, which is so much * in evidence at the present time. Skeena, according to Ihe votes, is * made the first district in the province, being far in the lead of all * others for the year in the matter of appropriations. Out of a total * of $2,842,000 set aside for roads, streets and wharves in the prov- '" ince, Skena gets $225,000, or about 8 per cent of the whole will * come to this district. In addition to this, there is the heavy expen- * tliture out of various other votes s tch as bridges, ferries, work in * Stewart, etc. The appropriation-; put Skeena in a most important * place. + **************,,** . *«*«**•*** Cariboo District is reassuring to the people of this city also. That district is contiguous to this one along the line of the Grand Trunk Pacific and the development of the northern part of Cariboo, in fact, the whole of It, must have its effect upon this port. It will be tributary to here and with the completion of the road the merchants of this city will have the opportunity to make a strong bid for the trade that is to offer there. The vote for this northern portion of the province will mean much in the opening up of means of communication with the rich agricultural sections that are located wtih- In easy reach of the Grand Trunk Pacific It will also be utilized in affording the ways of reaching the mining districts that are proving so rich and which must in the next few years be the means of maintaining prosperous centres of population. Distributing Point All of these will find their official and commercial centre in the APPROPRIATIONS ARE LARGEST IN PROVINCE McBride Administration Has Provided Liberal Means for Developing the Resources of This Part of the Country—Roads and Trails Will be Built to Assist in the Settlement of the Northern Country. seaport of Prince Rupert. Wholesale houses are opening here that would do credit to a city many times the size of Prince Rupert. These are in a position to furnish all classes of goods to meet the requirements of the vast district that is opening up in tlie matter of supplies. These are but the beginning of the wholesale community that is to find its home in the metropolis of the north. The row of five-storey buildings embracing tlie establishments of Kelly and Co., Stewart and! Mobley and .1. Piercy Morris and Co. j are a credit to the city, and in them-1 selves are sufficient to satisfy the i most skeptical that the future of Prince Rupert is assured and that the business of tlie city and the whole of the nortli is already open- < ing up. These substantial ware-j houses equal to most of those found! in old cities like Victoria and Vancouver will be followed by others just-as large. Already many firms in the line of wholesalers and nianu- should become an important factor as it will assuredly call for a steamer here and supplies at. this port in carrying out the repairs and new for has city facturers are awaiting the opportunity to come in and establish themselves in the city. They are awaiting tlie decision of the Grand Trunk Pacific in the matter. The arrangement with the city of all outstanding questions will be followed very quickly it is said, by a decision I by tbe company relative to the lo-' cation of its own works and the placing of industrial quarters the waiting concerns. Governments Are Favorable The Government at Victoria made provision to have this made the centre of its biisiae.-»i in J the whole of the north. It has provided for centralizing offices in the way of registry offices and every other department so that there may bono unnecessary delays in tlie transaction of public business. The same policy is being carried out by! the Dominion Government so that Prince Rupert is assured of being the capital of, the north so far as government works are concerned. The Dominion Government will establish a buoy centre here and in the end that, sub-station of the Department of Marine and Fisheries undertakings of the department In these northern waters. The Growing Line As the Terminus of the Grand Trunk Pacific, important works and offices must be established here in order to provide for the railway and the shipping in connection with it. In tlie case of the Canadian Pacific Railway there is a division to a certain extent of these interests between the cities of Vancouver and Victoria, the latter city being the head of the coasting service of the company. In the case of the Grand Trunk Pacific and Prince Rupert there will be no such division. All of the trade will centre here with tha advantages which go with it. The Government has shown that it realizes that the time is ripe for an aggressive policy looking to the opening up of this pari of the province. There will follow undoubtedly a very active move on the part of private individuals. All eyes are in this direction. It is becoming a qustion of months only until the Grand Trunk Pacific- is completed to the coast. This coming summer should he marked by a decided move in all directions both In the city and in the outlying parts of the district. Already the plans are ripe in many quarters and with the opening of the spring there will he a tremendous movement. The transportation companies are ready for it. Prince Rupert, it. is safe to say, will not know itself at the end of the next eight months.

(Special to The Journal) OTTAWA, Feb. 17.—Sir Wilfrid Laurier said yesterday that the House of Commons treaty with the United States, regulating pelagic sealing had recently been signed. It applied to the Pacific Ocean and was designed to conserve seal, the cessation of killing being limited to a term of years and not being perpetual. He said he was not In a position to give further details until the documents were lormally presented to Parliament. The treaty will have an important bearing upon the industry in this province. Victoria has been the home of the sealing fleet of this coast for many years. In the early days the business was a lucrative one but there has been a falling off in it with the slaughter of the herds which followed. In compliance with the regulations adopted by the British Government and the United States the Indiscriminate killing of the seals was cut off but with tlie Japanese not bound by any treaty, inroads were made by the hunters of that nation. For years negotiations have been on looking to a treaty with the settlement in an amicable way of the claims of the Victoria owners of schooners for compensation. The announcement of the treaty would indicate that an agreement has been made to recompense the owners of the fleet. HOSPITAL MATTERS W. Wright Appointed Managing Secretary by the Board at Last Meeting. Houston Memorial Fund Will lie Devoted to Equipping Op. ending Ward Mr. B. Jellch, proprietor of the Owl Cafe, left on the Prince George last evening, amid a shower of rice, his friends mistaking the object of his leaving, which was, however, merely a visit to his home in Salt Lake. The board of directors of the Hospital met yesterday afternoon in tlie Hospital and made an appointment of a permanent managing secretary who will perform the duties of a house steward for the institution. The matter had been gone into by the house committee who had quite a large number of applicants to choose from. The committee made a selection which was reporte'd to the general hoard and the matter of deciding upon the merits of what were considered the -most suitable candidates was voted upon by the full board. The decision fell upon W. Wright, who has been a resident of the city for a considerable time. The uew appointee will enter upon his duties is soon as tho board deems It wh.e that he should do so. Houston Memorial Another Important matter thai was disposed of al the meeting held yesterday was that of the John Houston memorial fund. By arrangement there wen- presenl at the meeting nol only the committee having the memorial in hand bul also the executive committee of the Ladies' Auxiliary, so thai Ihe whole matter of furnishings and equipment was freely discussed at a little preliminary gathering that took place. The Ladies who were represented by Mrs. Eggert, Mrs. Tlte, Mrs. Arnold and Mrs. Dawson explained just what the society which they represented had done. The arrangements for the beds and all the equipment of these were well in hand. While the beds themselves had not yet arrived, Mr. G. Tlte had been kind enough to furnish them with temporary supplies until these did come.

I THC INSURANCE Attorney General Explains Main Features of the Measure on Second Reading. Legislature Seems Well Satisfied With Bill Which Will Protect All Interests Concerned lion. W. Bowser, attorney-general of the province, in moving the second reading of the bill relating to ] or the mutual companies who are is true tiiat we have not much con- trol of these outside offices, but if ihe head office refuses to give the inspector access to its books, that would appear suspicious, and tiie Minister of Finance, who will have charge of the insurance department, may cancel their licenses in this province. We also do away with the licensed broker. Formerly an agent would come from Montreal or Toronto and write up a large insurance and then leave. We now shut them out, with the result that tne company that wants to do business In British Columbia must be licensed here. Any company such as Lloyds fire insurance, said the government was taking a most Important Btep in introducing this bill to control the business Of fire insurance in this province, They had been able to get some information of similar legislation m other provinces, but he- did no ttliink any of these sister previa- es had gom- so far as this. They wanted to see the public and those doing business here protected, and at he same time the government did not wish to interfere with tlie freedom of large insurers who insured outside of the province. The bill had been principally brought about by agents engaged in the insurance business in the province, who were paying the taxation 01 one per cent on the premiums collected here. They claimed to he placed at a disadvantage by large insurers insuring outside the province; and the insurers met the argument by replying that here was no reason why they should not do so if they could get get better rates. The insurance men replied that these outside companies brought very little capital into the province and paid no taxation and it was unfair to slolw them to compete. To gel at he facts the government has appointed a Royal Commission, composed of Mr. R. E. Lennie, of Nelson; Mr. McDowall, of Victoria (a former member of'the Dominion Parliament), and Mr. A. B. Erskine, a well-known business man of Vancouver. These commissioners had held sitings for many weeks in various parts of the province, and the result of their labors was embodied in the splendid report on which this bill was founded. It was objected by those insuring outside that certain insurance:, such as blanket policy, could not be obtained from local ageiits, and that they could not get better insurance with such companies as Lloyds and by some of the mutual companies that carried' on a large business By this bill they were still given the liberty of placing their insurance with outside companies, but at tlie same time these must be put on an equality with the firms doing business in the province. For that reason insurers with outside companies were required to pay to the government a tax of two per cent on their premiums, and at the same time the gov- arumentwas raising tlie taxation of local companies to two per cent. They considered they were justified noi licensed cannot place insurance here, and anyone who wishes- to insure with them must do so by correspondence." Mutual- Exempt The Attorney General continued. that under the law of the province mutual insurance companies wen- allowed to be formed, and these act- eel only among ihcmselvc-s it was thought fair that they should be exempt from the provisions of tlie act. Complaint about the high rates charged by some of the companie: doing business here had been made before the commission, but the government thought this could be best regulated by competition, and allowing people to place their insurance with outside companies. He did not think that two per cent could be considered a high tax, be cause he found that in other place; where there was a fire insurance department it generally ran much higher. In California, for example it was four per cent; in Ohio, it was two and a half per cent, and in Oregon, it was two per cent, but the latter state did not provide such a department as was provided for under this act. "We have also met the wishes of the insurance people," said Hon. Mr, Bowser, "in not allowing munic ipal corporations to tax insurance companies. That was a matter of considerable complaint among the insurance men, as they said they had to go to great expense in incorporating and getting certificates from the Dominion Government, and when they established an office here they were also taxed by the municipalities. We felt that if they paid the two per cent taxation to the province that should be sufficient. I will he glad to leave the bill before the house for a few days so that insurance people or others having suggestions to make will he given an opportunity to do so, and if,necessary it may he amended in committee." The bill passed second reading unopposed.

THE WHITE PLAGUE Tranquille Sanitarium is Named After the Late King Edward. Record for the Year Laid Before Board of Directors—Officers Elected That the sanitarium at Tranquille shall be named the King Edward sanitarium, in recognition of the late sovereign's interest in the fight against tuberculosis, was decided upon at the annual meeting of the board of directors of the British Columbia Anti-Tuberculosis Society, held in the city hall, Victoria. Dr. C. H. Vrooman, medical superintendent, in his report says: "Looking to the future I would say British Columbia has a unique opportunity to become the most foremost of Canadian provinces In the fight against tuberculosis. A sanitarium beautifully situated, with accommodations for ninety patients, a ranch convenient for supplies, and a climate peculiarly adapted for the treatment of consumption, all combine to give this opportunity." He pointed out that during tlie year ending December 31 there had been 58 admissions, and out of these 26 bad been advanced cases. This feature was unavoidable, as Tranquille was the only place in the province for the care of consumptives, At the same time the admission of incurables was not fair to the incipient, and more curable cases, who were necessarily brought more or less into intimate contact with those In the advanced stages of the disease. (if the 58 admissions there were 11 males and 17 females; In nationalities—( anadian 27; Scotch 111; English 11; Americans 3; Irish 11, and Italian 1. The patients were drawn from Ihe following points— Vancouver I'll; Victoria 10; New Westminster 1; Kamloops 3; Mara '■'•: Salmon Arm 11; Cascade 1; Rev- elstoke 1; Duncans 1; Union Bay 1; Stewart 1; Sidney 1; Ashcroft 1; Penticton 1; Cumberland 1; Nakusp 1; Ymir 1; Merritt 1, and Pernio 1. One of the most interesting features of the report was the fact thai those most susceptible to consumption are between the ages of L'11 and 30. The statistics were: Between the ages of lh and 15, 2 eases; 1 ."> and 20, ■> cases; 20 and 2.*,, 12 cases; 2.", and 30, 1 "1 cases; 30 and 35, I) cases; 3.1 and 40, ."> eases; HO and 00, 1 case, and be- tween (10 and 70, 2 cases. The board of directors' report showed that the full maintenance cost for 1910 was $20,240.07, an average cost per patient per day of $2.05. The board regretted to have to report that no hospital was yet built for advanced consumptives. Dr. C. J. Fagan made an appeal for the prohibition of indiscriminate expectoration. There were laws relating to -this practice, but they were not enforced by municipalities. Dr. A. P. Proctor and Dr. Brydone ■lack insisted strongly on the need for preventive measures. Officers were elected as follows: Hon. president, James Dunsniuir; president; A. C. Flumerfelt; vice presidents, R. Marpole, J. S. C. Fraser and A. .1. Gullet!;,; treasurer, George A.

WEDDING RINGS The History of This Feature Con, nected with the Marriage Ceremony According to the ancient ritual in marriage, the husband began the ring business by placing it upon the bride's thumb, and putting it successively on the next two fingers, pronouncing for each a personal of the Trinity; with a final amen when the fourth finger was reached, and there the ring remained. The Greek church ritual directs that tlie ring be placed upon die right hand. Puritan influence sought to abolish the ring as a vain and heathen emblem, but ihe sweet old- fashioned custom of giving and taking emblem, "for our love's sake," yet remains to us. Bel roi hal or engagement rings vary in fashion nowadays, and always depend, or should, on the purso of tlie donor. Where there are no limitations of this sort his taste, If it be perfect, will lead him to choose a diamond solitaire, and of tlie best he can afford, a small and pure blue white stone being altogether preferable to a large stone. Some prefer a ring set with three stones, gene-rally a sapphire set between two diamonds. Others select- a ruby or an emerald, which signifies promise of happiness. Pew persons choose pearls for an - ngagemenl ring us pearls are sup- posed to typify tears. They arc also too perishable to become emblems of love, which, in ils first glow nt least, is always understood to be indestructible. Their beauty Is very precarious, being dimmed or aged, as the lapidary expresses It, by con- annihilates them completely. SNOW IS COSTLY Railways Have Had Large Expense in Keeping the Rouds Clear This Winter That the railways are finding It very expensive work in maintaining any kind of train service is apparent in the fact that the snow trouble in the Brandon district has c*ost the Great Northern $9,000 to keep 110 miles of road from there to the boundary in decent condition and even with that heavy expenditure the company has had great difficulty in maintaining service. A gang of SO men witli a big engine and a snow plow is steadily keeping the line clear. These men are paid from $2.25 to $2.50 a day and as they are also provided with,their board, it is pretty remunerative employment for the winter.

Preparations Arc Made for Spring—Swede Group Looks Well the Dan Mason came up from Copper City and reports that Ed. and Fred. Mlchaud and himself will very shortly commence Ihe erection of a cabin in on their mineral claim about five miles out from Copper City and haul supplies to their camp when Ihe snow is on tlie ground, says the Inland Colonist of Kitselas. They hope to have a branch from the main Lakelse trail built out to their camp next spring, as such a branch would tap a number of properties as well as their own. They own three claims, all located within five miles of Copper City, from which good shipping values have been obtained in all ore they have assayed up to date. There are two veins on these claims, one vein ten feet wide giving assay of $8 In gold and 4S ounces in silver. The other vein is between 75 to 100 feet wide, and assays have been obtained running as high as $24 in gold and 14 ounces in silver. It is Dan's opinion that were trains carrying all classes of freight, he and the Mlchaud brothers would have no difficulty in making ship- ents of ore from their property right now that would pay them a handsome profit over taking it out. After cutting a trail from the main Lakelse road, it would be very easy to haul their ore in over the snow and deliver il right at the track at Dob- bie's. in addition to their claims, within a few hundred feet of them are located Messrs. Andrew and Olsen, who have a big dyke from which they are taking out. good ore. Dan and the Mlchaud brothers were out to their (the Swedes) camp a few weeks ago and saw Ihe partners pounding 1111 and panning rock from which they obtained a string of "colors" as long as the little finger, and it seemed lo Dan that every piece they pounded up, panned better than die one before. He says tlie "proper spirit" exists in Copper City essential lo the encouragement of Ihe mining industry in thin vicinity, and he fully ex- 's In see everything in that line on the boom down there this coining season. .—0 Sport—Is there anything worth shooting around here, my boy?

PRINCE RUPERT JOURNAL STUDY EARTHQUAKES! LAND PURCHASE NOTICES F. Napier Denison oi vicesria (lives interesting Talk uit Subject. He Traces the Development of Information Relative to the Subject "Victoria," said F. Napier Denison in his lecture on seismic research, given in the city mentioned, at the Broad street hall, "is just far enough outside a great sp'smlr zone to be safe from actual disaster, and just near enough to make it possible to measure from here, by the seismograph, tlie great forces at work In the interior of the earth. It is highly possible that were such operations extended here some important discoveries might be made. There is little doubt that from a seismic standpoint research work should be extended on this coast." Mr. Denison spoke before a very large audience, the hall being very well filled. He illustrated his lecture with most interesting lantern slides showing earth formations and explaining in part how earthquakes are likely to occur. The lecture was given in language readily understood and not in scientific terminology. The address was given under the auspices of the Natural History Society. Mr. Denison said that from his researches there certainly seemed to be a connection between certain movements of the pendulum I by which earthquakes are recorded) and ihe times when coal mining disasters occur. It was possible, lie said, that when great earth strains occurred, gases were dislodged and escape dinto the mines. Following such escape, it was only necessary for ignition to take place to explode the mine. Arguing along this line, Mr. Denison considered that it might be possible io determine the time when such si rain would occur and possibly their period of duration, when mine Inspectors could safeguard against disaster by taking extra precautions. Mr. Denison also draws the conclusion thai the lime is at hand when ii will he possible to tell when earthslrains are clue, ill tlie same manner as the weather conditions. He believes it will also become possible to tell the duration of the strain, lie spoke of the San Francisco earthquake of 1906, ami said thai hrough the influence of the sun and moon the earth contracted and expanded ihre.-o inches daily. Slides of -Mount Vesuvius were shown io Illustrate locations of seismic intensity. The lecturer quoted Professor Milne and Professor Omori, and explained many of Ihe interesting theories held by these great seismic authorities. He told how Professor Milne believed that in a process of evolution caused by continuous earth unrest another great continent was being formed in the neighborhood of the Fast Indian Archipelago. He dealt in detail Svith the San Francisco earthquake of 1906, illustrating its effects on buildings, how it was recorded on the local seismograph, and the deductions drawn from it by Professor Omori, the eminent Japanese seismologist, who, as a result of the great disturbance, was able to predict the earthquake which happened shortly afterwards at Valparaiso. !

(i. II. NELaON, .- - , Editor. Friday, Februarj 17, mil. OUR GROWING TIME Willi tlie opening of the spring northern British Columbia is to become Hie Mecca of a vast army of people who have their eyes turned thi-- way. The- rush thai will come is mil confined to one ■ Ingle class. On the contrary it Includes mining men, tin- seekers after farm lands and those who are n ady to invest in various enterprises thai are to find their headquarters in the north. In connection with this movemenl (he city of Prince Rupert is to play an important part. It is the centre of Ihe whole of this activity and must benefit from the movement. The various shipping companies are in the field to do business on a scale never before attempted in tlie north and with Hie facilities which they possess to push this line of business there can be no doubt as to tlie results. The transportation companies will take the means of ensuring the business for their concerns so that the steamers will not Se run al a loss. It is safe to estimate on a travel north this season that will exceed anything in the past not even excluding the days of the Klondike rush. Prince Rupert can count on an ictive year and already the business men are preparing for it. Visitors will this year be able to judge of what the city will look like when the streets are completed, for the work will be advanced far enough to permit of the proper sizing up of the situation. Real estate especially in the business section will feel the effects and a ready market should be established. UNFAIR TACTICS The insinuation made by a local paper that because Un- acting mayor, Aid. Smith, and \hl. Kirkpatrick were stockholders in the Empress theatre thai there was some relation between the proposition made by the owners lo reduce the licenses paid by theatres and the payment of the Empire's bill, is rather unfair and far-fetched. When the proposition for a reduction in the licenses of playhouses came before the finance committee of the council, Aid. Smith and Aid. Kirkpatrick refused to have anything to do with it and referred the whole matter to the council. Any one who knows Hie two aldermen would feel perfectly satisfied thai neither of them would stoop to anything that was not absolutely lair in order lo save a few dollars to a company in which they wen- interested. The aldermen showed all the way through, a disposition to hate nothing whatever to do with tlie particular proposition.

Orange Hall was crowded a (rv nights ago by ?o six or seven hundred mili- ■ aci Inatlonists who wenl prepared to object strenuously to the proposed sompulsory vaccination, ami who did io with no uncertain voice. "She whole meeting was up in inns against the proposals and was unanimous in condemning them. A resolution as follows was unanimously carried: "That this meeting heartily condemns tlie Order-in-Council providing for enforced vaccination, and demands tlie Immediate repeal of the 3ame." So strong was the meeting worked ip on the point that one of the speakers, Rev. Dr. Davtes, went so tar as to state that if it became necessary, in Ihe Interests of a test eiase, he would willingly go to gaol, nor should they vaccinate him or his children if he had a six-shooter landy. An additional resolution was also carried to the following effect: "That Ihe School Board of Van couver refrain from putting into force compulsory vaccination." Ai the conclusion of the meeting badges were given to those present with the words on them, "I am against vaccination." oonsekVath es elbct NORTH VANCOUVER—At the annual meeting of the North Vancouver Conservative Association, the following officers were elected for ihe ensuing year: Hon. presidents, Hon.

CANADIAN OLUB PLANS VICTORIA—The new president of Ihe Canadian Club in Victoria promised at the annual meeting that the present year would make a record, for they intended to be very active. It was decided that local men would sometimes be called upon to deliver addresses and read papers and that a campaign would be inaugurated to increase ihe membership and make the club thoroughly representative of the city of Victoria. It was pointed out during the course of a discussion that an opinion was abroad to the effect that only native-born Canadians were eligible for membership, but that new arrivals from the Old Country could not join. An efofrt will be made to dispel this fallacy and to make it c-'ear that any British citizen can become a member by securing a nominator and a seconder from among the members of the club and being passed upon by the executive committee. Another move that was made was to affiliate the club with the Association of Canadian Clubs, thus re' ceiving the benefit of co-operation and unity of work and purpose. The following are the new officers elected: Hon. president, His Honor I.ieut.-Governor Paterson, president, Lindley Crease; first vice-president, II. A. Munn; second vice-president, It. !•".

CHAMBERLAIN'S VIEW The Old British Statesman Writes on Proposed Reciprocity Agreement. lie Laments the Pact That Canada Did Not Wait liit.il Alter Conference lion. Joseph Chamberlain has written the following letter to the chairman and members of the tariff commission which was established some years ago on his initiative: Gentlemen, 1 learn that the tariff commission will meet Thursday for furl her consideration of the report on preference which they have drawn up in response to a request made by me in a letter of November ■".. When this is completed we shall have provided all that is requisite for working oul the scheme of preference wiih our dominions across ihe sens. I am more than ever convinced that without preference we cannot hope to maintain and develop the unity of the empire. Since, the tariff commission first undertook its work, however, we have had lo take Into account new arrangements with foreign countries and now have to consider the proposed reciprocity agreement of Canada and the United States. Without presuming to offer advice to the people of Canada about their own affairs, I cannot help feeling that they are rather premature. I wish that they might have at least waited until the meeting of the imperial conference, when an opportunity of discussing a principle of such imperial Importance with represntatives of the other self- governing dominions would have presented itself and when tlie ques- tlon of preference might have been aptly considered. There is moreover anoihe raspect to he taken Into consideration. It should not he lost sight of (liat the ratification of this treaty would mean a radical change The British Columbia Company LIMITED.

HART, The Big Furniture Store Corner of Second Avenue and 6th Street SPORTS LOCAL BONING MATCH Prince Rupert lovers of sport will have an ample opportunity of enjoying themselves at the Empress Theatre next Wednesday night, February 22, when Oscar Nelson of Vancouver and Mickey O'Brien of Seattle will box 15 rounds. Both these boys have an enviable reputation for cleverness and hardhitting. Nelson has been seen here in action before, having received the decision over Harry Lomoard a year ago. This fast game lad has also won many decisions in Vancouver and Victoria and has a host of admirers in Rupert. He will arrive on the Camosun tonight and will do light gymnasium work only, he being in fine shape always on account of his regular habits. O'Brien has won his last three fights in masterly style, whipping Eddie Marino before Hie Graystone Athletic Club of Seattle, Eddie Shannon of Seattle and Billy Mack ot Los Angeles, all in the past month. Frank Bowness of this city saw the go between O'Brien and Marino and was so impressed by his cleverness in disposing of this aspirant for Abe Attell's title that i.e Immediately wired Julius Levy, who is matchmaker for the Empress Theatre Company, regarding him. i "Billy" Wright saw O'Brien's next j go with Billy Mack and confirmed j Bowness' judgment and the go was, arranged with Nelson. Both boys will be In town on the Camosun. BOAT DESIGNER Mr. Edson B. Shock, who next to the wizard Herreshoff, is probably the best known and most successful yacht designer and naval architect on the American continent, is in Vancouver and intends to make his home there in future. .Air. Shock is a graduate from the! drafting bench of A. Gary Smith,! one of the greatest designers of schooners in the world. Since go-j ing into business for himself somej years ago Mr. Shock has achieved e marked success in designing boats! that have won some of the most] notable aquatic and ocean races on; the Atlantic. The Alanbee, formerly owned by I .Mr. R. P. .McLenann, is from .Mr. Shock's board. A sister boat, of the Alanbee, also designed by Mr. Shock, won the ocean race from New York lo Bermuda in 1909. The first commission which Mr. Shock will undertake as soon as he gets settled in an office, will be to design a 55-foot power yacht for .Mr. E. J. McFeely, who some time ago caught the boating craze from his partner. Mr. McLennan, who some time ago sold the Alanbee to the provincial government, is also considering having another and larger boat built, which will probably mean another job for Mr. Shock. o STEEL PROFITS Quarterly Reports of the United States Corporation Shows Net Earnings of Over $20,000,000 The quarterly reports of the United States Steel Corporation for the three months ended December 31, as made public, shows earnings of $25,999,987, with net earnings of $20,462,460.

Extews River Is Avenue to a Hich Territory Within Kusy 1 teach H. M. Wood returned Friday last from his trip of cruising land in the Extews valley for a number of Washington farmers. He reports that, the valley so far as the bottom is concerned, Is not quite so wide as has been reported, but from bench to bench It Is about the same average width as the Skeena river valley. One mile from bench to bench, will cover the width of tlie bottom lands, says the Inland Colonist. But his cruising has resulted in making known the fact that instead of running north and south as has always been snupposed, the general course of tne river aud lay of the valley Is due eabt and west after going the first mile up river. From the point where the Extews is crossed by the G. T. P. io a mile up the river, it runs almost due north an dsoulli, then it takes a slight turn to the west, and then sharp to the north again, but at this point where it takes the first turn to the west, it rounds the range of hills and the valley opens up for a distance of a number of miles to the west, the river instead of continuing on a course to the north, merely crosses at different points from one side of the valley to the other, on its general course to the west in direction of Prince Rupert. From the strike of the hills on both sides of the valley, Mr. Woods believes that the valley continues in a true westerly direction for many miles from where he finished his work of cruising, which was four miles up the river. The site for the building of a •wagon road from the G. T. P. to the extreme end of the valely touching the ranches Is ideal, with of course, as is the case in any farming district, the building of a bridge here and there crossing the streams that are feeders to the main river. • The land is level and all of it can almost be called meadow land, the trees which are spruce, being so far apart as to make . it one of the easiest clearing propositions lie has yet seen. Under the trees in many places then was no snow, on account of the protecting branches above, and at bese places the ground was covered with grass. He believes from signs he saw, that there are quite a number of deer in the valley. As to the current of the Extews, he says that he believes that during any stage of water, one would have no trouble in going up and down the river in a row-boat. He left again on another trip to the Extews to cruise out additional acreage up ihe river, a number of farmers other than those for whom locations have already been made, desiring to secure tracts in time for early settlement in the spring. As the Kltsunikalum valley is settled for more than fifteen miles from the river, and the land already held at a high price at the extreme north or upper end as well as clown near the railway, there Is very little doubt hut what every available acre in the Extews will he taken up, to the extreme west end before spring. lip to date all purchasers of this land are farmers, who Intend settling on the land, and as the number of locations now amount to twenty-five, it looks as though In another year there will be quite a prosperous farming community in the Extews valley and almost within a step of Prince Rupert. o BRITISH NAVAL GUNNERY New System Said to Double the Rate of Hitting The London Telegraph prints a report on the development of naval gunners, which may double the present rate of hitting of the newest large armored ships. The new battleship Neptune left Spithead on Saturday to make a series of important gunnery trials in the Mediterranean. The principal gunnery experts, including Vice Admiral Sir Percy Scott, inspector of target practice, are on board to watch the trials. The officials refuse all information regarding the experiments, which, according to the Telegraph, are expected to leaa to a revolution In gunnery. The nature of the reported developments is not indicated more clearly than the suggestion that it is due to notable changes in construction compared with the original Dreadnoughts, principally in reference to the disposition of the guns. The Neptune is the first vessel to have wing barbettes arranged in echelon, enabling two 12-incb guns in each of five barbettes to he LAND PURCHASE NOTICES Skeena Land District—District of Queen Charlotte Island.

Naden, reported that there was now $004 subscribed. It was felt that there would before the lists closed be $750 available for the purpose. The committee expressed a desire to furnish the operating ward throughout, in view of the statement made by the Indies of the. Auxiliary Hull they had Ihe supplies for all the wards it was agreed lhat the .Memorial committee should take over the necessary equipment from the ladies for this ward, paying for it and thus giving the Auxiliary thai much more for other necessary work. Any other equipment for the ward lhat was necessary to equip il hi first-class shape, it was decided would be paid for oul of Iho funds of the' committee, Ihe whole expenditure being subject to approval Of the- Hoard. The funds available indicate that the ward can he furnished in first-class shape by the committee, More Insurance A report from the Finance Committee was received in which it was announced thai there had been $3,000 more insurance placed on the building to cover the interests held by the board. It was announced that this insurance had been divided among three of the local firms doing business and that as soon as the equipment was in place in the hospital there would be $2,000 more put on which would be placed with two other firms in the city. In this connection the attention of the board was called to the practice which is followed by some companies of specifying in the policy that in case an adjuster is required that the expense In that connection shall be borne by the insured. This meant that there might be a rather large bill in sending an adjuster from the outside here and reduce tlie insurance collected. The members of the board disapproved of placing insurance with any such provision in the policy. An equipment which the Medical Association of the city approved of and which was reported to be absolutely essential to the hospital was ordered to he sent for. The members of the board took occasion of the meeting being held at. the hospital to inspect the progress of the work. The supplies are being received and the matron, Miss McTavish, and her staff, are busy getting the institution in shape to do work in. Before the members of the Ladies' Auxiliary left it was decided that there should be a formal opening probably early next week just before the hospital is opened for the reception of patients. Some of the wards will then be equipped and the public win be asked to be present and inspect the premises. The ladies will supply lea, sandwiches and cake, for Which a nominal charge will be made to aid in the funds of the institution.
