Price, Five Cents. No. 104 BOTTLE LICENSES ARE !AWAIT s™™™ GIVEN APPLICANTS Two of Those Who Sought to Supply Liquor in This Way Were Given Privilege—A. J. Prudhomme's Renewal Application is Found to be Out of Order and is Not Considered. J. A. Smith. The chairman of the board, Aid. Hilditch, said the action The Board of License Commissioners for the city sat on Wednesday afternoon and again yesterday, transacting the general business for the quarter. The question of the Savoy license, which can always be depended upon to come up before the commission at every sitting, was again to the fore. The order of Air. Justice Clement, of the Supreme Court was complied with and the license ordered to be issued in accord with the order of the court. An application for a renewal of the license evidently intended to cover the time from July 15, was found to be out of order and no action was taken on it. The renewals were granted to the various other hotels and wholesale houses. In the matter of bottle licenses which have hitherto been refused, the commissioners, acting upon the advice of the city solicitor that these did not affect the number of hotel licenses possible, granted two that were in order to E. J. Maynard and myth. ^_ H Hi ^^^^^^^^^ was taken purely because it was interpreted that these licenses did not affect the number of hotel licenses that could be granted. The commission was composed of Aid. Hllditch acting mayor, who presided, Aid. Smith and Commissioner J. E. Merryfield. Chief Vickers reported that all the licensed places had been conducted properly during the past quarter. Proceeding to business the first matter te come up was that of the case of A. J. Prudhomme of the Savoy Hotel. • Mr. Peters, K. C, asked if Mr. Alex Manson had the original mandamus in the Prudhomme case. Mr. Manson said that he had returned it. ' Mr. Peters said the original should have been kept. v After some discussion, in which the chairman said they must have the document before them, Mr. Peters said he had a copy and would soon be able to produce it as be had sent for it. The copy being produced it was read. The application of Mr. Prudhomme for a renewal of the license was read also. Aid. Smith moved that a renewal of the license be granted in accordance with the terms of the man- da in us. The question of voting came up when it was pointed out that the action was taken as a result of the mandamus, the city solicitor pointing out that the license would expire in July. Renewals of licenses were granted to J. Y. Rochester, Empress Hotel; Peter Black, Central Hotel; Olier Ilesner, New Knox Hotel; M. Bondeaux, Windsor Hotel; G. A. Sweet, G. T. V. Inn. Tbe transfer of the Premier Hotel from J. E. Gilmore to Fred Hen- ning, as manager for the Premier Hotel Company, was granted on the application of A. Carss, solicitor for the company. . The renewal of the license of the Premier Hotel was then granted. The application of Mr. Prudhomme for a renewal was brought up. It was pointed out that the application asked for a renewal from June 14. Mr. Peters pointed out that this was not in order. Mr. Prudhomme asked to see tbe application. He meant it from July 15. "Why didn't you say what you meant, then?" asked Mr. Peters pointing out that the application read from June 14. Mr. Prudhomme said if it was so stated it was a clerical error he intended to have it date from July 15. Alex Manson, appearing for Mr. Prudhomme said that Mr. Prudhomme did not know what would be the result of the application before the supreme court. He could not ask for a renewal for something that had not then been granted. He contended that the application was made to have the Board consider the question of a renewal of the license at this,sitting. Mr, Peters could not see why a renewal could not be asked from July 15 as well as from June 14. Reading from the statute Mr. Peters contended that the law was very clear. The application as it appeared invalidated any renewal which might be granted under it. "Don't you think that Mr. Prud-, honinie's old position, that he made a mistake, is the more tenable?" asked Mr. Peters. Mr. Manson wanted to know what could have been done under the circumstances. Mr. Peters, however, did not appear to be inclined to give any advice in the matter. The chairman wanted to know what his application was, was it an application for a renewal from July 15? Mr. Manson said that they were in an anomolous position of applying for something that was not in existence, Aid. Prudhomme asked if the board refused a renewal of the li- ceiTSo granted under the mandamus Commissioner Smith said there was no application for it. It could not therefore be refused. Mr. Maynard was granted a re- (Contlnued on'Page Eight) AGAIN IN POWER Liberals in Nova Scotia Retain Office by Reduced Majority Premier Murray Has Succeeded with Sixteen More Than His Opposition (Special to The Journal) HALIFAX, June 16.—In the elections for the province of Nova Scotia held on Wednesday, the government was sustained by a majority of 16 over the Conservative opposition.

Left for South to Consult with Officials of Company 0. B. Smith, jr., superintendent of the Granby Company's mines at Phenix, arrived in the city yesterday on his way south from the Hidden Creek mines, which arc under option to the Granby Company. Mr. Smith, while he did not doubt that the mines would be taken over, had no official word of the final closing of the deal. The ore body at the mine is a very large one and at present the Granby Company has done the necessary work to prove the body of ore there. Just what tbe policy of the company will be as to developing the mine, Mr. Smith could not say. That would be decided upon after the officials had been consulted. H. Mac- Donald, who has charge at Goose Bay, accompanied Mr. Smith and J. A. Marrin, a merchant of. Phenix, was also a member of the party. WILL CONSIDER STATE-OWNED CABLES (Special to The Journal) LONDON, June 10.—Premier Fisher, of Australia, advocated at tbe Imperial Conference yesterday the nationalization of the Atlantic cubic in order to cheapen arid render more effective communication between Great Britain, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, and by thus acquiring complete control of telegraph and cable lines to secure the All-Red Route. Premier Ward, of New Zealand, advocated state-owned cables between England and Canada, and reduction of the rates through- • out the Empire and the establishment of a chain of Britisii state- owned wireless stations. The resolutions were later withdrawn in favor of one proposed by the postmaster general of Great Britain to the effect that if the owners of Atlantic cables could not see their way clear from time to time to reduce cable rates, the various dominion governments consider the practicability of laying state-owned Atlantic cables. .

FRUIT OUTLOOK Thomas Cunningham Inspector at Vancouver Tells of Planting in British Columbia. Peach Trees Arc Not Being So Largely Cultivated As Apples, Plums and ('berries -0- ,\ll) AT REST The funeral of the late Captain Smith, jailor at the city lockup, took place on Wednesday from Iho Church of England, to the island cemetery across the harbor. The ceremony was tinder the charge of the Masonic Order, Tsimpsean Lodge turning out in large numbers to pay the last respects to the dead. Over the Line General Superintendent Mehan of the Grand Trunk Pacific, left this morning by special train for a trip over the line. He has as his guests representatives of the newspapers, Aid. Smith, A. .1. Morris, president of the Board of Trade and a few others. They will return tonight. That the importations of nursery stock to Britisii Columbia for the past spring is heavier by 40 per cent than that of any previous season was the information given by Mr. Thomas Cunningham, provincial fruit In- spctor in Vancouver. "The total number of trees and plants imported up to April 30 for the present year," he said, "was over 3,000,000. This Is an Increase of fully 40 per cenl over 1910, which had broken the record of any previous season. I estimate Hint If reciprocity fails, the fall Importations will bring our total up to 6,000,000 trees and plants. This shows thai here is some settlemenl and orchard plaining going em in Hrliish Columbia siiU." Asked as to what lines bad shown the most noticeable Increase, Mr, Cunningham said: "The.re has really been a noticeable falling off in the number of peach trees imported. Not nearly as many came in as last year, and In my opinion it is a good thing, as we shall do better to confine ourselves to the best class of apples, pears and cherries. 1 am glad to say, the most notable increase is in the number of apple trees imported. . .eere has also been a good increase in the other fruits I have mentioned. Remember also that the figures I have quoted do not Include the output of our local nurseries of which there are 13 or 14 scattered through the province, some of them doing considerable business. The Riverside nursery at Grand Forks, for example, sold out its entire stock of standard trees. The Coldstream and Vancouver Is- FIRST SCHEDULED TRAIN LEAVES CITY G. T. P. Starts Its Regular Service From Prince Rupert Over the Westernmost 100 Miles of Its Transcontinental System—Much Interest is Manifested in the Event. On Wednesday at I o'clock, the first scheduled train left the city for Coppr River, at mile 100 on the Grand Trunk Pacific. The event was marked by no ostentatious display on the part of the company, but on the contrary, sharp on the scheduled time the train moved out as though a practice of long standing was but being conformed to. From now on the departure and arrival of the local train will become a settled feature* of ihe life of the place. The event was but another of the epoch-marking features which are following one another so closely in the history of this young city. It marks the beginning of a service which will quickly be extended until in a few short months this city becomes the Pacific starting point for the through trains to all parts of the east. Changed Conditions As the passenger portion of ' the train was being made up at noon today J. H. Plllsbury, the engineer who first located here in charge of the work of surveying the townsite, passed alongside and watched the shuting in of the coaches. Although at times residents are apt to become impatient and want to see the work accomplished all at once, there can be no doubt that Mr. Pillsbury must have felt that the change that had passed over the city in the few years since he pitched his tent near the same site where the modern train was being made up, had been marvelous. The development of the next few years must of necessity be much more marked than it has been during the same time in the past. The putting on of the service marks the creation of Prince Rupert as a railway centre. While there has been considerable freight moved up over the rails last year and again this season, before the regular service was inaugurated, yet the train on Wednesday was -the first of those running on a regular schedule under autl.o ity. The First Train Tlie general superintendent of tbe line, W. C. C. Mehan, who has seen the various divisions west of Winnipeg started upon their services, had arrangements all in first-clas's condition for the start, although he had only a few days' notice that the necessary permission had been given. Shortly before twelve o'clock noon, the passenger end of the train was shunted into position easl of Centre street, where il stood in position until the time' of sinning. Caboose No. 390070, Indicative of the mixed character of tbe train was Included, with it went standard ears of the differenl classes composed of baggage car 702, Colonist car 3012, a first-class passenger coach No. 1012 with General Super- No. the lntendent Mohan's private car 4102 attached to the rear of Main. Before the time of starting had arrived there was a large gathering of citizens assembled to see the train pull out and the camera was very much in evidence until the passing out of Hie train had become a matter of history. Officials Went I'p General Superintendent -Mehan, Superintendent McNlcholl, accompanied by a few friends, made the trip over the route to see that all went well. Train Agent Holtby was on duty and entered upon the office he will fill In charge of the passenger tickets along the route until such time as there is a regular system of ticket offices along the route. As the speed at which the train is permitted under the orders of the Railway Commission, Copper River will not be reached until after nine o'clock each evening and on the return trip the time of arrival is from nine in the morning until twenty minutes past five in the evening. Hot. Lunches Served In order to meet the convenience of the traveling public the officials of the company have arranged for a hot lunch to be served on the train each way. By arrangements with the commissariat department of tbe railway, Mr. Mehan is able to serve hot coffee and tea, sandwiches, pie, etc., on the train so as to meet the convenience of the traveling public. In.time there will be established at some convenient point a restaurant where hot meals may be served, the train making a stop sufficiently long to allow this. On the first train out several freight cars were taken on carrying material for the road. The service will continue to be a mixed one for the present. .Many Made Trip Owing to the fact that the train was the first scheduled one out 'if the city, a number of citizens look passage by It, some proceeding a few stations oul where they transferred to steamer and came back to the city. There was a large number of pac- sengers for the end of the tracK. Mr. Little, the pioneer news agent here, purchased the first ticket. Postmaster Mcintosh and Mrs. Mcintosh, among the earliest residents of the city wen- passengers on the' first train. Mrs. Tremayne, rep- resening the very earliest pioneers, also made the trli I a few stations. Major Gibson was a passenger, J. II. Kugler, Jay Kugler, Mr. II .bin and party wenl ns far as Inverness. Mr. and Mrs. Bullock- Webster were alsee passengers and Mrs. A. J. Morris.

SPOR TS STANDING START A great objee-tion to harness horse races in the mind of the sport lover is the many starts necessary to get the horses going. The horses in a running race are often kept five or more minute's at the post, but when the barrier does go up they are away, and there is no calling them back. In the trotting races the horses come more or less slowly down lo the wire, and if they are in anything like a straight line the judges b't them go. If several of the starters are pretty well back the horses have to turn around and try it all iiver again. Nol only is It a tedious business, but it leaves the judge open iei a lot of criticism. If an owner sees his horse away to a good start the first or second time and they are called back, then on the third trip, when his horse gets a bad start, and the word is given to "let her go," he is liable to be a bit sore, and really you can hardly blame him. Speaking to a man at Dufferin Park, Toronto, who has been closely connected with the harness horse for many years, the question of the practicability of a standing start was broached. The gentleman referred to said he had started trotters standing and had found that it worked out very well. It might be said tha tsome horses take a little time to get into their stride, and if started in a race standing would "break" several times before they got going properly. What if they did? The horses are supposed to be trotters, and the one who can swing into his stride right at the start, instead of having to go 2"> or 50 yards before he gets going, is surely entitled to the advantage.

GRIFFITH, Public Works Engineer Department of Public Works, Victoria, B C„ 5th April, 1911. 4-14—lm I PUBLIC OWNERSHIP Edmonton's Street Railway Is Believed to Have Been Brought to Paying Basis Now- According to the amount of business done by the street railway department during the past month, there is little question but what the department is now on a paying basis, says the Edmonton Capital. During May 487,348 passengers were carried, while the estimated Income is placed at $20,389.40. During ihe month there wns an average of 1S cars per day on the line and during rush hours the department could have made use of seven or eight more. As a matter of fact, there were times, Saturdays, especially, when there were as many as 21 cars in operation. Other cars are now on the way to the city and within ihe next few days the department will have a complement of 30 carp. The revenue of the department can be estimated but as yet it is impossible to find out what the expenses are. This is due mainly lo the fact thai the department does not know what it is paying for power. This quest ion was one of the first which Commissions!* Bouillon announced must be settled when he- first reached the city. He advised a series of monthly reports which would show Hie revenue and expense's of all the departments, bul to date the system has not been worked oul in detail and none, of the reports are complete.

PRINCE RUPERT JOURNAL ^wwisywwwiAiw ffltft^^WKtiWttJ& 1 GRAND TRUNK PACIFIC I TOWNSITE ta ELLISON The only Main Line Town- site in British Columbia in which the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway Company has announced its joint ownership. ELLISON SEE THE OFFICIAL MAP.—The first glance will show you that ELLISON is located at the junction of the Skeena River and the Bulk- ley Valley. The Grand Trunk Pacific has announced that they are joint owners in the townsite of Ellison. Now, my dear reader, you must remember that up to date the Grand Trunk Pacific has not announced that it has any interest in any other main line towsite in British Columbia. Does that start you thinking? STUDY THE MAP and you will find Ellison Is where the railway tracks leave navigation. That fact is a very Important one for conservative investors to think over. What is known as the Hazelton district covers a territory many miles In extent In every direction radiating from the townsite of Ellison. Mining machinery, ore shipments, smelters, reduction plants and all sorts of mining operations starting up in this rich mineral region, must necessarily have a metropolis, a HUB, a headquarters. If any sane, conservative man can figure out any other spot except Ellison for the hub ef the great commerce of this district, his plan should be very inter esting to the Grand Trunk Pacific officials. It does seem as though these officials, after several years of investigation and engineering, would know just what they were do- i:».g when they put their official stamp on Ellison. o STUDY THAT MAP.—I desire to say to all parties who are talking townsites in the vicinity ul Skeena River and the Bulkley Valley that there will no doubt be several small towns, just the same as one always finds in a mining district. There will be towns in the vicinity of Ellison along branch railways, probably towns at the ends of branch lines made to serve the mines and the collieries, but it will be history repeating itself in regard to the building up of every metropolis. Ellison has every natural advantage, has every earmark of being the future mercantile and financial center of the Skeena River mining dislrict and the entrance to the Bulk- ley Valley. o ■ STUDY THAT MAP and you will find that all of the mining towns and railroad towns around there just beginning to be talked about will only be feeders to the city and port of ELLISON. The Giand Trunk Pacific has put Its official stamp on Ellison. Do you believe the company will do as much for townsites owned by individuals as it will for one in which its stockholders are joint owners? If you do, don't buy any lots in Ellison. If you desire to make a permanent investment, or merely to make a little quick money, you must decide for yourself right now. Do you propose to follow the individual townsite promoters or the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway Company. o — S'TUDY THAT MAP.—If you desire to put your money into a real estate promoter's townsite you will have many, many opportunities this summer. The average promoter is full of hurrah and red fire. He must enthuse investors of the mail order class with his wares. ELLISON is in the Missouri class. Therefore, I am not telling any fairy tales about it. I am making statements that can be readily verified. —, o STUDY THAT MAP.—If you want to join that great army of investors-at-long-range, then you should put your money Into promoters' townsites. If you want a perfectly safe and sound investment, certain to bring you large profits, then put your money where the Grand Trunk Pacific, after years of careful investigation, have put their money. STUDY THAT MAP.—It Is not likely the Grand Trunk Pacific will have any other townsite in British Columbia for sale this year. The officials of the company state that the company is not interested in any townsite in the Hazelton district with the exception of ELLISON. ELLISON Is on the bank of the Skeena at its confluence with the Bulkley. 'Sou may change railway surveys; you may change the location of towns along the line of road, but you cannot change the geography of the country through which the railway passes. The head of navigation necessarily means an important townsite. Ellison will not only be at the head of navigation but the center of a mining district wonderful in its resources that is now being opened up, and for which Ellison will be the shipping point both by rail and water. The fact that trains may change engines up or down the line or in the suburbs of the town of Ellison does not amount to shucks in building up a town when such places are compared with a town located where rails and navigation meet. o STUDY THAT MAP.—You will find on the official plan of Ellison that a large part of the town- site has been reserved for future sales, the same as the company has done with certain sections of Prince Rupert townsite. There are, therefore, at this time, comparatively few lots on the market. You must hurry if you want one. o STUDY THAT MAP.—ROGERS' ADDITION to Ellison, only a small parcel of land, lies within eight blocks of the site of the railway station. Lots in this are being offered. I am advising my clients to buy Rogers Addition lots at $150 for inside lots and *^50 for corners. Terms—10, per cent discount for cash, or 10 per cent down and the balance on easy terms; no interest. LOTS IN ELLISON TOWNSITE AND ROGERS ADDITION FOR SALE PRINCE RUPERT British Columbia JEREMIAH H.

Experiments Are Heing Carried-Out on Adjoining Properties with a \ lew to Purchase The Granby Company's option is now almost up at the Hidden Creek Aline on Observatory Inlet. It is not that the purchase will be made and that the control will pass from M. K. Rodgers to the Granby people. Following this reduction works are assured and steady mining will be done on the property. Already there i sa large body of ore blocked out for work. It Is now announced that the Granby Company have taken an option on adjoining property with the ultimate object in view of purchase. The property being looked over Is controlled by Mr. Column and is said to be quite as promising as the Hidden Creek proposition. The Interest aroused by the Granby Company In the camp is attractln gnunibers to that part of the country. o STEWART .MINKS Busy Season Is Expected in Legitimate Mining Operations on Portland Canal That the Portland Canal mining division this season will witness a greater activity and more genuine mining development Is the firm belief of those who have closely followed the subject, says the Portland Canal Miner. Every week now witnesses tbe resumption of work on one or two properties. This week Superintendent H. W. Heidman, of the Big Casino and Superintendent F. B. Shearme of the Portland-Bear River commenced operations at their respective properties. William Clark, representing Captain John Irving, of Victoria, Is here to open up the Three R. group lying south of the Red Cliff. 0. B. Bush has taken in supplies and an outfit for the Salmon Bear River Alining Co., and work has started, in charge of Pat Daly. J. Fred Ritchie has arranged for a resumption of development on the Copper Cliff across from town, and G. A. Clothier will superintend the work on the property of the Indian Alines, Limited, where an outfit has already been packed in. At. the least calculation before the end of the month, two dozen properties will be on the development list. Even though the season is backward, most of the mines and prospects on which work has recently been resumed have had trails built to them and many have substantial camps to house their men. As soon as the railway is completed to the Red Cliff several properties will commence sending out sample shipments, and both the Portland Canal and the Red Cliff mines will then enter the permanent shipping list. The management of the Canadian North Eastern railway is rushing the laying of steel which has reached Glacier creek, and as soon as the bridge is installed at that point little time will be lost in connecting up to Bitter Creek and thence to the Red Cliff. WHAT'S IX A NAME? Hon "Steamboat" Wns Given tlie Designation It Now Hears In 1879 there was a short-lived gold excitement on Ruby Creek—not the Ruby Creek that flows into the Fraser about nine miles below Hope, but the Ruby Creek In the Steamboat. In that year there came to Hope, James Corrlgan, W. L. Flood and W. A. Starrett ail of whom still live In Hope, and, after William Yeats, are the pioneers of the district, Flood and Corrlgan together. These two built a raft-to float down to the Skagit River to Ruby Creek, and the point at which they sailed they named "Steamboat Landing," their raft being honored with the title of "Steamboat." From this the locality became known as "Steamboat," and for want of a better appellation the term was finally applied to the neighboring mountain; hence "Steamboat Alountain." PEACE RIVER MINERAL .1. F. Bledsoe, Well Known on This Coast, Tells of Finds in New North The extent, variety and value of the Britisii Columbia Peace River country as a mining district is only now—with the prospect of early transportation facilities —obtaining public recognition. Describing the coal outcroppings on the Pine-River, a report just received from Mr. J. F. Bledsoe, one of the pioneers of the Peace River country and the initiator of the Finlay River Development Company, shows that for a considerable distance along the Pine River there are indications of coal, and these are especially noticeable at Cariboo .Mountain and Coal Brook. In a stream to the east of the Cariboo .Mountains a seam is exposed which is fully ten feet thick. This is a hard, lustrous coal, which on the surface looks like anthracite, but as no work lias been done as yet, it is difficult to classify definitely. There can, however, be no doubt about its being of great value as a fuel. At Coal Brook there is also an immense showing of coal. The value of this coal find Is groat. II is situated only a few miles from the Pine Hirer Pass, through which Ihe Pino Pass Hallway Company and the Pacific and Hudson Bay Railway Company will come. The route of the latter railroad will lie along the Pine River, following the very best possible zone of attack for tbe exposed coal seams. The coal will be required for the operation of the railroad, also the Pine Pass Railroad and possibly for a section of the Grand Trunk Pacific and Canadian Northern Pacific Railways. It will be used on the Peace River steamboats ,and In the houses of quite a large farming district, and In various towns. In connection with the Pine River district it may be noticed that close to the Pine Pass some free gold ores have been found which may prove of considerable value when more work Is done. Also In the North Pine River there are great deposits of arsenical iron ore which may also prove to be of value. There is a fine seam of coal, too, at Fort McKay, and Mr. Bledsoe took out last Beason about twenty FOR SALE SECTION ONE BLOCK LOTS BLOCK 19 . . 11 1-2-3-4-5-6 11 9-10 12 22 13 21-22 18 1-2 1.0TS 3-4 19 16-16 20 19-20 34 36-37-38 34 . , 42 27 9-10 27 42-43 SECTION FIVE 9 22-23 18 22-23 W.

Till: FIRST TRAIN With ihe- Inauguration of a regular train service out of Prince Rupert a new era begins for thi' city. It becomes a railway city as well as ei steamboat centre. With the opening of a service over the tirsl Inn mile's of road a start has been made- from the westernmost point of the Grand Trunk Pacific on the e-leisinu in of the final gap in the through route. Tin- few years thai have passed since the engineers of the company commenced operations . here, have passed quickly. .Marvels have been accomplished in the time, tlie full amount of it being realized only upon reflection. In ih..- building up of a new city and a new country there is little time for retrospection. In the magnitude of the undertakings those who assume the duties that fall to the pioneer are obliged on the contrary, to keep their eyes upon the future. A new country is essentially one of the future. Citizens of Prince Rupert are concerned more with what is to come than with what has passed. The railway is a great developer in a new country. No other system of transportation compares with it in this respect. Trade follows the rails wherever they are laid. The opening up of the hinterland through which the Grand Trunk Pacific rnns hy means of railway communication will be followed by rapid settlement. gotten the exploits of the fur-trading days which made her the commercial centre of the empire of the north." With openings for trade by sea and rail the city of Prince Rupert will have advantages over Edmonton. The business men must always hear In mind that from the very beginning the best that the can do for the interior points must be done if a friendly trade relation is to be built up. It is up to all citizens of Prince Rupert to assist in this to the fullest extent so that Prince Rupert will become the natural distributing centre for the whole of the Britisii Columbia territory that can be reached from here. ... * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * .*. * * * *.'' * ° i * News of the Province * AGAINST RECIPROCITY BOTTLE LICENSES The license commissioners yesterday decided to grant two bottle licenses to meet a demand for those who desire to purchase liquors in small quantities for use in private homes. The objection hitherto urged against the bottle license was that il interfered with the number of hotel licenses that could be granted, the law being interpreted to include both bar, bottle and restaurant as retail licenses within the meaning of the act concerning which the restriction as to population is pill on. Mr. Peters, the city solicitor, however, has put another Interpretation upon the act and contends that the bottle license is not to be so considered. On ihis opinion the bottle licenses were granted, it was explained. The city solicitor, it is understood, proceed to redraft certain sections of the license bylaw so as-to make it conform to the law. Among these amendments will he the defining of the quantities of liquor that may be sold under a wholesale and bottle license. NELSON- An enthusiastic and crowded meeting wns held in the Opera House here at wluVh the audience, willi the exception of a dozen persons, voted unanimously in opposition to tlie Dominion Government's reciprocity policy. The speakers were Mr. A. S. Goodeve and Hon. Thomas Taylor, minister of public works. The latter confined himself to provincial issues. Mr. Goodeve's speech was a strong denunciation of reciprocity. He also attacked the government for its Oriental immigration policy and for the eight-hour bill, which it caused to be defeated. He took up the Liberal argument that reciprocity would admit Canada to a market of ninety million people in the United States. He referred to the club held over the Canadian pulp industry and the menace to Canadian fruit, and said he desired the world's flour mills to be where the world's greatest wheat fields were— in Canada. Quoting extensively from President Taft he claimed that every Ajmerican was working for political union. In an eloquent peroration he pleaded for Canadian autonomy and for the building up of a united nation under the British flag. TIMBER CASE MUST MOLD Tin: TRADE As the Grand Trunk Pacific advances eastward from here it is a duty incumbent upon the business men of this city lo see that the trade along this route and in touch with it. Is securely established. The Hoard of Trade must keep keenly alive to ihe- best interests of the city and assise at every turn the local wholesalers io meet the demandB put upon them so that trade may not he dl- eeii'-ii Into channels that are not desirable from the standpolnl of the city's well fare. The- following from the Edmonton Capital shows that other places are alert to the opportunities of trade with the Interior of the province: "According to 'he official announcement of Presldenl I lays of lln' Grand Trunk Pacific, a start will not be made on the construction of that company's line from Fort George to Vancouver until the main line is completed to Prince Ruperl. As ii will be two years at least until the main line, is completed, and as it would lake probably three years more to complete the line down the Fraser to Vancouver, Edmonton falls undisputed heir to the trade of the great Central British Columbia country for five years at least. "If Edmonton cannot entrench herself in that region so thoroughly in five years as t oreslsl all competition when the Vancouver lino is finally opened up, Edmonton merchants will have gone back ten all their early training and have for- NEW WESTMINSTER—An important reversal in the well-known case of Swift vs. David has been made. The case was tried before Mr. Justice Clement some time ago, and judgment was given against the defendant, Mr. L. W. David, for $151,000. Whether it will prove to he the end of the litigation has yet to be discovered, but it is thought likely that a further appeal will be made to a superior court. Messrs. Davis and Pugh acted for the plaintiff and Messrs. Bodwell and R. L. Reid for the defendant. The action arose out of a contract under which Mr. Lester David sold a large block of timber land to what is now the Canadian Western Lumber Company. In the contract Air. David guaranteed that the quantity of timber on the land would cruise a certain number of feet board measure. Later the lumber company brought suit against Mr. David, claiming a breach of this guarantee. The case was heard before Air. Justice Clement, and the company recovered judgment for $151,000. The court of appeal yesterday reversed this this judgment. JAIL IMPROVEMENTS VICTORIA—Mr. W. W. Foster, deputy minister of public works for tbe province of British Columbia, altended at the Victoria court house by request of the foreman and members of the grand Jury at the assizes, and briefly discussed with that body the conditions prevailing at the pro- viniinl jail here, with respect more particularly to the flro-flghtlng fa- cllltles there provided. For the Improvement of these it Is announced by the deputy minister that a new fire alarm system will be Installed en the Jail forthwith, and— to provide for an instantaneous release of all prisoners should this he necessary- a new system for automatically and simultaneously unlocking all cell doors by the mere operation of a lever In the head jailor's quarters. Further, instructions have been given to chief engineer of the department, Mr. Griffiths, lo investigate and reporl Immediately upon the feasibility and cost of substituting electric for gas lighting throughout the jail. At'present the cell doors are secured individually, by means of crossbars and padlock's, in tho same manner as all other prison doors under the system obtaining in British Columbia, and machinery for automatic general release of the prisoners upon emergency as well as the substitution of electrical for gas Illumination, constitute the chief features of a report on jail conditions made by Fire Chief Davis of Victoria. HYDRAULIC DEAL Cariboo Properties Under Option Rich English Syndicate. to Guggenheims Disposing of the Mines Developed by .1. II. Hobson A London syndicate represented in the Cariboo by L. A. Bonner, has secured an option on the vast hydraulic mining claims at Bullion, owned by the Guggenheims and formerly vested In a company of which sir. Wm. Van Home and Sir Thomas Shaughnessy were prominent shareholders. .1. H. Hobson, a prominent mining man of Victoria, was manager for many years and installed a large planl which was very productive during seasons when water was plentiful. When control passed to the Gug- genhelms plans for enlarging the plant and extending the ditches to a lake to ensure a water supply independent of weather conditions were already prepared by Air. Hobson and several hundred thousands of dollars were expended in development work. The Guggenheims, however, stopped the work suddenly two years ago and things have been at a standstill ever since. The ground was thoroughly tested before the Guggenheims acquired a controlling interest. It is located on the Quesnel River. Experts representing the London syndicate are expected shortly to report on the proposition. It is said that the price mentioned In the option is over $1,500,000. o WHALING VESSEL The first of the new steam whal- ng vssels being built by the Moran Company in Seattle for the Canadian company for use in a steam whaling industry with a station at Gray's Harbor, was launched at the Moran yards yesterday. The vessel was christned the Paterson, after President J. V. Paterson, of the Moran company. The new craft is 100 feet over all and is of steel construction. She will be an oil burner and will be capable of making a speed of twelve knots an hour. The Paterson will fly the American flag and will be operated in connection with the Canadian North Pacific Fisheries, Limited. Another whaling vessel, an exact duplicate of the Paterson, is nearing completion at the Aloran yards and will be launched in a few days. o ■ A. C.

This condition does not exist in Britisii Columbia alone. Reports from the best cherry sections in Washington show that the crop will not, be more than ten per cent of that of last year. The strawberry crop is also much lighter than usual, and prices south of the boundary rule high."

PRINCE RUPERT JOURNAL t***** ************************************************ * Wfater Supply and Electric Power ! For Prince Rupert | i*****^*********************************************** !The recommendations of R. H. Thomson, city engineer Seattle, relative to Prince Rupert's water supply and e development of electrical energy in conjunction with at Lake Woodworth, has been printed by the council for _ -neral information. The report is as follows: SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, May 20, 1911. T() :,! WORSHIP, THE MAYOR, AND THE HONORABLE CITY COUNCIL OF PRINCE RUPERT, GENTLEMEN:— Pursuant to your request, 1 visited your city during the latter part of ihe month of April, this year, for the purpose of conferring with you and studying with your engineer, your present and your proposed win er supply system. Your Present System Your present system is one which you have taken over from the Grand Tr ink Pacific Railway Company, and consists of small machine- banded, \4-ooden water pipes', delivering water from a spring or creek from the (mountain side to Ihe south of the city, reinforced at times by water furbished by a small pumping plant. These mains were laid for pioneering purposes and were evidently intended to supply the company and the oljty during tlie period of early construction only, and to form a basis uponi which to design, and with reference to which to construct a more extensive and more permanent system, guided by the development of the city. No doubt for the time they were designed to serve the city, they were .'airly sufficient, and by some slight reinforcement, which your engineer has now under serious consideration, can be made to serve fairly well for thii next two years with the one exception of providing an ample fire protect ion during either the dry cold weather of winter or the dry warm weathjer of summer. Your Proposed New System Upon arriving at your city, I found that your engineer had very carefully desigiiejd a distribution system for the city, Intending to use therein, standard casji iron pipe and to erect in connection therewith, modern fire hydrants ami to secure the supply of water by gravity from the Shawatlan watershed. \ .Source of Supply • The supjbly from the Shawatlans watershed consists of the run-off from the nort.lh and south forks of the Shawatlans River, which discharge their waters filnally into Lake Shawatlans. Lake Shawatlans, itself, whilst a large body i>f excellent water, lies at an elevation of but 39 feet above low tide, and. vhilst constituting an enormous impounding reservoir, is unsuited for use as a gravity water supply, and could be used only in connection witjh a pumping system. Inasmuch as the first cost of a suitable water gyatem to be supplied by steam pumps delivering from Lake Shawatlans, would be almost as expensive as the construction of a gravity system and vas'tl..- more expensive in upkeep and operation, it is needless, under present conditions, to discuss the propriety or cost of the construction of a pumpling plant in connection with that lake, unless it were to be used but a short time only, the pumps and steam power used being those now owned by the city, and the pumps operated to force water through mains 1 nil in such a way as to form a part of your final gravity system. The total area of the Shawatlans watershed has never been fully determined. Ail the head waters of the south fork of the Shawatlans River, however, 111 ere is a magnificent lake, nestled under and between mountains of gitoit height, known as Lake Woodwortli. This lake is about two and a |<itarter miles in length and about one-third of a mile in width and has a Isurface area of 454 acres, and has a present elevation of 336 feet above city datum. The watershed tributary to this lake has been measured and fowjJSl to contain 9.56 square miles. The area of that portion of the wntei'i-n.Wl upon the nortli fork of the Shawatlans River, as I have said, has net yet been triangulated, but the probabilities are that that portion of the watershed of the north fork, lying at such an elevation as will permit of tlie run-off being carried by an economical canal or conduit into Lake ;Woodworth for the purpose of impounding, is approximately four square miles, so that within the Shawatlans watershed, there Is probably an area of 13 % square miles which now is, or can be made, tributary to Lake Woodworth. Precipitation The record of precipitation In the vicinity of Lake Woodworth has not been kept a sufficient number of years to enable us to furnish you with any full and Complete record of the same, and the run-off of the stream has not been weired a sufficient length of time to enable us to determine with absolute certainty nor with absolute accuracy, what the average run-off In cujblc feet per second for an entire year would be, from either fork of the riv.oi'. From the most careful study which your engineer has been able to make, it would appear, however, that from the Lake Woodworth watershed, alone, by Impounding by means of a very inexpensive dam, a run-om of 75 cubic feet, per second for the entire year can reasonably be expecterl, and that it is entirely probable that an additional 25 cubic feet per second or more, can eventually be obtained by the diversion of the north fori- of ihe river into Lake Woodworth. It, therefore, seems probable thai from the Shawatlans watershed you are safe in assuming that finally you Jill be able to secure a continuous run-off from and through Lake Wonr'K'iJirili, of 100 feet per second. Sufficiency of Supply The proposition wlhloh 1 am to report upon to you and with reference to which I am ic advisil shed Will he' re asoieubl time to come, and as to and suit .-el to Hie nece best modern practice supply brougnl to and As tu the sultablli poses, there can be nee wl oily In the bands of of-upalioii or settlemei any occupation thereof clean as the rain from muskeg which form rour vicinity, the wat very pomslbly will, ti '( you. is whether or not the supply from this water- sufficient to supply your city for any considerable whether the supply thus obtained will be healthful • Hies of the city, and as to the manner in which mill suggest that the water be conserved and the lisiiileuted through the city. y of the water for domestic and municipal pur- uestlon, from the fact that the entire watershed Is .our municipality and you are able to prevent any I therein, whatsoever, and there has never been ley man In the past. It should, therefore, be as heaven, Owing to the large amount of peat or tin-ally- in the basins and the pockets throughout will probably always be slightly discolored, and ell time, carry a very slight taste from the peat. This diaooVcratlon,'however, i^ not such as to be offensive to the eye and tbe tasjfe is not offensive to the palate. Neither the discoloration nor the taste i« nearly so marked as the water so highly prized by the great City of Liverpool, which It derives at such an enormous cost and brings to the city a/distance of 65 miles from Lake Vyrnwy, an artificial lake made by the CJIty of Liverpool at most enormous expense, In the Mountains of Walem. Therefore, there is no question as to the suitability, and, in fact,- as t-oi'inpared with the opportunities of the world, there is no question as tl/ie superiority of the possible supply to be derived from the Shawat- sl watershed. 1 The permanence of the supply cannot be questioned. Probable Demand In order to determine the question of sufficiency of supply, it is nec- ry to consider the probable area of land which will within a reason- period of time be covered by your municipality and the probable final isity of the population thereon, together with the reasonable number of Ions per capita which will be required on days of maximum draft by ,ir people, both for domestic, manufacturing and commercial purposes, e question as to the density of population per acre, is of course, one llch is very difficult to answer with absolute certainty. In modern days, is not a common thing for cities to obtain Intense density of population. nbf ga yo Tl, Probably the most densely populated city with which we are now familiar as "modern territory" is tbe City of Glasgow, Scotland. This city has a density of about sixty persons per acre. On the American Continent, however, we have nothing that in any way approximates such density. One of the most densely populated of American cities is Newark, New Jersey, which has a population of 350,000 people within the limit of 23 square miles, and has an average of but 23 persons per acre. Their maximum demand has never exceeded eighty imperial gallons per capita per day. This demand has been made during extremely dry weather and during the times of intense heat, when a large portion of water was used for sprinkling lawns, streets, floors, roofs and building fronts for the purpose of securing a reduced temperature by reason of the evaporation of the water. No such condition of intense heat can ever be expected to afflict Prince Rupert, and, after a most careful consideration of the demands of many cities, I am satisfied that a provision to supply your city with 70 imperial gallons per capita per day, will constitute abundant provision. 1 have made a careful measurement of the area of your city and find that in all human probability for many years to come, you are limited to a total area of practically 2,24p acres. The proportionate demands for the different parts of your city will depend upon the population, or the equivalent population, per acre In Its various parts. After an examination of the topography of your city and of tbe relation of the various parts thereof to the probable use and demands of commerce, manufacture and occupation, I have, for the purposes of computation, divided the same into five districts, which I have numbered from one to five, inclusive, and which I have outlined upon a map, banded you herewith, District NO. 1, 1 believe to be that district which will constitute the central business area of the city. In this area will be located heavy factories and the heavy commercial institutions of the city and will, probably be that territory from which the heaviest draft of water will be made for the supply of railways and steamships, and I believe this territory to be that which will require a supply of water equivalent to that which would be demanded by a population of one hundred persons per acre. The boundaries of this district are as follows: Commencing at the intersection of Eleventh Street with the waterfront and following Eleventh Street to a point about 200 feet southeasterly from Park Avenue; thence northeasterly to the intersection of Fulton Street with Fifth Avenue; tbence along Fulton Street to the Park Reserve; thence through the Park Reserve to an intersection with Young Street, produced; thence north to the waterfront, and thence southwesterly along the waterfront to the place of beginning, containing 190 acres. District No. 2, I consider to be the district which will be occupied by retail stores an'd apartment houses, and is described as follows: Commencing at a point on the southwesterly boundary of District No. 1, as above described, opposite Biggar Place, and running southeasterly to an Intersection with the southeasterly boundary of Section 5 of the Prince Rupert Townsite; thence northeasterly along the boundary of said Section 5, and on the line between Sections 6 and 8, to Hays Creek; thence northwesterly to the waterfront; thence southwesterly along the waterfront to an intersection with the boundary of District No. 1; thence following the boundary of District No. 1 to the place of beginning, containing 330 acres. I consider this district one which will require a supply of water equivalent to that demanded by a population of sixty persons per acre. District No. 3 is the district which will, I believe, be occupied principally by warehouses and factories, and is described as follows: Commencing at the intersection of Eleventh Street with the waterfront; thence in a southwesterly direction, following the waterfront to the westerly end of Waterfront Block "B"; thence in a northeasterly direction to the westerly end of Block 12 of Section 4 of the Prince Rupert Townsite; thence northeasterly, following the alley between Park Avenue and Kootenay Avenue, to an intersection with Eleventh Street, produced southeasterly; thence along Eleventh Street to the place of beginning, containing 243 acres. This district should be provided with a supply of water sufficient to supply a population of 39 persons per acre. District No. 4 is a district which I consider will be occupied almost exclusively by residences. It is described as follows: Commencing on Eleventh Avenue at a point about 300 feet southeasterly from Edward Avenue; thence along Ele\ enth Avenue, produced, to Shawatlans Passage; thence following the waterfront northerly and westerly to the northeasterly corner of District No. 2, above described; thence southeasterly along the boundary of said District No. 2 to the place of beginning, containing 370 acres. Owing to the topography of the ground and the amount of land in this territory which will be used for Park purposes, I consider that it will require a supply only for a population of 13 persons per acre. District No. 4a is a territory which I consider will also be used almost exclusively for residential purposes and is described as follows: All that portion of the Townsite lying south of District No. 1 and District No. 2 and east of District No. 3, containing 462 acres. This territory also, owing to the topography and the percentage of land which will be used for Park purposes, I estimate will require for service on the basis of 13 persons per acre. District No. 5, which is also a territory destined to be used almost exclusively for residential ;;urppses, is described as follows: All that portion of the Townsite lying southeasterly of Districts 2 and 4 and northeasterly of the line of McBride Street, produced southeasterly, containing 645 acres. This territory should be supplied with a sufficient amount of water to provide for a population of 13 persons per acre. Reducing the foregoing statements to the form of a table, we have the following: TABLE NO. 1 Estimated area of townsite 2,24 0 acres. Estimated Average Population, per acre 30 persons Estimated Average daily consumption, per capita.70 Imperial gallons Estimated Total consumption per day 4,704,000 gallons Rate of supply demanded 8.74 ru. ft. per second Section Population Area in Population Dally Consumption Per Acre Acres In Gallons 1 100 190 19,000 1,330,000 2 60 330 19.S00 1,386,000 3 39 243 9,477 663,390 4 13 370 4,810 336,7011 4a 13 462 6,006 420,420 5 13 646 8,386 686,960 2,240 67.478 4,723,460 Tills, as you will observe, provides for the occupation of 2,240 acres by a population of 67,478 persons, with a total dally consumption of 4,723,460 imperial gallons. Reducing this number of gallons to the equivalent number of cubic feet per second, It will be found thai the supply demanded at Prince Rupert by a population of 67,478 persons, will ! be at the rate of but 8.74 cubic feet per second. As before said, the estimated run-off from Lake Woodworth alone, can, by Impounding, be made approximately 75 cubic feet per second. The supply, therefore, necessary for the service of the estimated population of some 67,500 persons, is only about one-ninth of the supply which could be furnished from Lake Woodworth, and only about one-twelfth of the supply which it appears could be furnished from the Shawatlans watershed. It Is, therefore, needless to say that the possible supply from your watershed is more than amide for many years to' come. Discharge of Shawatlans River So far as the records show, the minimum discharge from Lake Wood- worth (and that occurring but for a few days In the year), is 7." cubic feet per second and the maximum discharge 571 second feet. Owing to the area of the lake a dam which would raise its present surface only four or five feet, would bo ample for all time to come to guarantee a constant and safe supply for your city. Shawatlans River for some distance below Lake Woodworth flows through a sharp ravine or narrow canyon In which a dam can be constructed to almost any desired height at a very reasonable cost, and the careful estimate made by your engineer shows thai a dam only thirty feet In height would be sufficient to so Impound the run-off from the watershed now tributary to Lake Woodworth, as to provide a uniform run-off of 75 cubic feet per second. The advisability of the erection of a dam to raise the surface of the lake any greater height than five feet, will be discussed later on in this report. Inspection of Watershed In connection with your Mr. Agnew, and also my assistant, Mr. T. H. Carver, who has co-operated with me in (he study of this matter, 1 traversed Lake Shawatlans, examining the south shores thereof, and followed up the Shawatlans River and the south fork thereof, to and upon Lake Woodwortli, examining so far as the condition of the snow would permit, the topography of the country through which a pipe line would have to be brought to the city. The two and one-half miles along the south shore of Lake Shawatlans is flanked by a range Of mountains which are erodeei to great depths at frequent intervals, by snow slide and water, so as to make the construction of a pipe line upon sustaining ground along a route following at all closely to the hydraulic grade line, very difficult of construction and very expensive for maintenance. From the head of Lake Shawatlans to Lake Woodworth, the country Is still rugged, bul Is not eroded nearly so seriously, and there are opportunities of constructing within reasonable' limits of cost, a pipe line either very close tee, or at some distance below the hydraulic grade line. A pipe line route has been carefully located by our engineers through this territory, following quite close to the hydraulic grade line for the purpose of constructing thereon, a wooden stave conduit. Whilst from point of first cost, a close adherence to the hydraulic gradient is theoretically to be desired for a wooden stave conduit, practical experience has shown thai the wooden pipe- Is tar more durable when placed under some considerable head, such a head as will thoroughly saturate the wood. There is not any material increase in the cosl of constructing this pipe so as to fall under such head, over and above the cost of constructing close to the hydraulic gradient, ami, Inasmuch as the length of life of the pipe is the point to be particularly considered, I have recommended your engineer to cause a new survey to be made so as to locate this portion of the line at an elevation of at least fifty feet below the hydraulic gradient, and in so doing, to make use of such ground as may be most economically traversed in the excavation of the trench and for the delivery of material, even though we might drop as far as eighty feet below the hydraulic gradient. From such inquiry as 1 was able to make, and from such observation of the land as It was possible to make under the conditions which prevailed at the time of making my exaination, I believe that a line constructed on this lower level, by reason of lesser cost of excavation and delivery of material, would, if anything, be less expensive than the use of the higher line. This survey has not yet been completed, or at least, I have not secured a profile of such line. Owing to the forbidding character of tbe ground on the ground on the mountain sides along the south shore of Lake Shawatlans, your engineer has suggested the' propriety of dropping the pipe line down upon a flat or bench of land extending out from the foot of the mountain into the lake, which would be laid hare and made part of the upland by lowering the surface of the lake about ten feet. With your Mr. Agnew, we visited the outlet of Lake Shawatlans and found the level of the lake to be retained by a very peculiar dyke of very few feet in thickness, and there is no question but that this dyke can be removed at very slight expense, so that the theory of your engineer of so lowering the lake and using the upland which would be'created by so doing, is absolutely correct, and this theory should be followed. Present Necessary Supply and Character of Pipe Upon first thought, it occurred to me that along the entire shore of Lake Shawatlans and to the narrows separating the peninsula from Kaien Island, twenty-four inch barrel stave wooden pipe might be used to good advantage, instead of the twenty-four inch cast iron suggested by your engineer. After a careful consideration, however, of the probable cost of this wooden stave pipe, based upon the best figures obtainable, as compared with the cost of standard cast iron pipe, 1 am led to doubt the expediency of substituting wooden stave pipe for cast Iron pipe throughout this territory, unless the proposition would be considered of bringing into the city at the present time, not more than fifty per cent of the amount of water which will eventually be required. To deliver 8.74 cubic feet per second, which it is estimated your city will finally require, demands the use of a twenty-four inch pipe. The question to be determined after careful consideration, is whether there is any present need for incurring so great an expense as would be required to be incurred to lay down a pipe to bring that amount of water to the city at this time. A private corporation, carefully considering the value of an investment, considered with reference to compound interest and having due regard to the demands of the city, would, in all human probability, not at this time construct a pipe of greater size than eighteen inches in diameter along this section or any other portion of the work. A pipe eighteen inches in diameter, would deliver to you 2,366,000 imperial gallons per day, amply sufficient for a population of 33,800 people. This can be constructed at a cost not to exceed $2.90 per foot, as against a cost of $6.80 per foot for a twenty-four Inch e-ast iron main. The total distance along the shore of the lake may be taken as 13,000 feet, this change therefore making a saving in first cost of $50,700. This wooden pipe, in our experience, will be serviceable for a period of at least twenty-five years and a dollar invested now, would, nt five per cent compound Interest, be worth $3.39 at the expiration of twenty- five years. Upon a basis of twenty-five years, therefore, the difference in your investment for that 13,000 feet, between the cost of elghteen-incb wooden pipe and twenty-four Inch cast iron pipe, would be equivalent to $171,873. I, therefore, have no hesitation in recommending to you tlie substitution Of an eighteen-inch wooden pipe as against a twenty-four Inch cast iron pipe along the shores of Lake Shawatlans, and elsewhere', as hereinafter suggested. ~ Your engineer has already considered the advisability of dividing his twenty-four inch pipe into two pipes, each eighteen Inches in diameter, crossing under the narrows. In case an elghteen-Inch pipe were used to the point of passing under the narrows, either a single' eighteen-inch cast Iron could be used at that point, or, if it were thought that Insurance demanded t ii• • placing of two pipes across the narrows, two fourteen-lnch pipes could he connected with the elghteen-Inch pipe to provide the necessary safeguard. I would recommend the use of bul one pipe al this point, however. After reaching the island, your engineer proposes to use a twenty- four Inch cast Iron pipe' to a point opposite Montreal inn Inasmuch as when a si'cond pipe is brought lee your city, as l will presently show, II Is probable thai a separate pipe will be designed i" be carried ne Montreal Hill ti-eiiii ihai which ii Is inii'iieie'ii neiw to be carried ie) Acropolis Hill, 1 recommend thai nothing larger than eighteen Inches In diameter he- now laid down al any point in the city, Neil only is the- matter of flrsl economy a sufficient reason for recommending this reduction In size, bul there are- questions relating to tbe possible elevation of reservoirs hereafter to be constructed In your city, which also justify this suggestion of the construction of smaller pipe al the presenl time. Relative Elcvntlon of Reservoirs Very considerable money has already been expended In making an excavation for a reservoir on the Acropolis. s<e far as my examination reveals, it will be impossible to make this reservoir operate satisfactorily in connection with any other reservoir which may hereafter be constructed in your city. The purpose is to have the floor of ihe- Acropolis reservoir al elevation'288 and the overflow at elevation 800 above city (latum. So far as I can determine, it will he Impossible to economically construct a second reservoir whether on Acropolis Hill or on Montreal Hill, that will have an overflow level at a higher elevation than 2Se', feeu, and the probable floor level will be' nol above 270 feel above datum. For that reason, li is probable that if the presenl scheme of utilizing the work already done on Acropolis Hill for reservoir purposes is adhered to, thai it will be found advisable in after years to divide ih<' city into at leasl three service areas, in thai event, the territory ie> be served from tbe Montreal Hii reservoir, when constructed, will be disconnected from the territory mosi conventeni to be served from tho present 'Acropolis mil (Continued on Page six i y<> v tfa - PRINCE RUPERT,JOURNAL Friday, June 16, 1911. Water Supply and Electric Power for Prince Rupert (Continued from Page Five) reservoir site, and in such case the Montreal Hill reservoir would be supplied by a separate and independent pipe line leading directly thereunto. Provision would be made by proper gates for throwing these two districts together very quickly in case of fire, but normally they would be separate. When the extreme western part of your city is so developed as to require an additional reservoir on Acropolis Hill, that reservoir would of necessity, because of the topography of the ground, be constructed at the same level as the reservoir on .Montreal Hill, and would be supplied by a conduit connecting with the .Montreal Hill reservoir, which would also serve the territory through which it passed. In this way, the waters in the Montreal Hill reservoir and the second Acropolis Hill reservoir would rise and fall together, but the first reservoir upon Acropolis Hill would, except in cases of fire or other emergency, serve its separate district, which district would no doubt be the central business area of the city. I have carefully examined the plans and specifications, which came to you through the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway, for the construction of a reservoir on Acropolis Hill. These plans called for a rectangular reservoir Ilo x 120 feet In the clear, having vertical walls lined with brick, nnd a total depth of from 12 to 14 feet. It will be impossible to construct this reservoir economically upon the plans furnished. These plans are based upon the theory that the rock remaining in place at the outer margins of the reservoir site, is firm and stable, and in such condition that all it needs to render the reservoir stable, is a concrete backing with the proposed brick lining. The rock is not of the character contemplated by the designer of the reservoir, and considerable change will have to be made in the plan in order to secure a safe and economical structure. Moreover, it is well known that a circular basin—when the nature of the ground permits—will hold more in proportion to the cost of construction than will the rectangular. From the shape of Acropolis Hill, and, from the topography of the neighborhood, good taste would demand that either a circular or elliptical basin be constructed thereon, instead of a rectangular basin. It may prove to be impossible to change to such shape now but as soon as your engi- nee'r is enabled to make careful topography showing the exact condition, shape, levels, etc., of the ground where this reservoir is intended to be constructed, I will furnish you with plans and specifications for constructing a proper reservoir built in accordance with modern practice. Future Use of n Certain Line Your engineer has proposed a line lying along Eleventh Avenue, to be built at some future time, which, for some time could be used in connection with the first Acropolis Hill reservoir, but which, at the time of the construction of the second reservoir, would serve as the conduit leading directly to that reservoir in connection with the .Montreal Hill reservoir. For this reason, I would recommend the abandonment upon the island, of all twenty-four inch cast iron pipe which it has been proposed to use in your system and to substitute therefor, eighteen-inch pipe. This recommendation is based upon the considerations of present economy and of future usefulness. There would be 4,800 feet of twenty-four inch pipe replaced by eighteen-inch pipe in the island, under this suggestion, making a saving of at least $8,500. Plan of Distribution System The distribution system and tbe arrangement oi hydrants suggested by your engineer upon the map furnished me, is in accordance with the best modern practice and very little, if any, criticism could be made thereon. There are one or two short sections of pipe where I have suggested a very slight change in diameter, but if the diameters suggested by your engineer were taken exactly and precisely as he has designed them, no real criticism would be justified. I consider this part of the system to have been laid out with remarkable skill. In a previous portion of my report, I have made reference to the proposition to change the size pipe suggested by your engineer as part of your main supply from Lake Woodworth inlo the city. I made special mention of that part extending from near the head of Lake Shawat'ans to the narrows because I had in mind a proposition to present to you with reference to a joint use of pipe from Lake Woodworth to that point. Unless this joint use of pipe hereinafter suggested be adopted, I most unhesitatingly recommend the laying of eighteen-inch pipe throughout, from the dam at Lake Woodworth to a point of general separation for distribution purposes at Sixth Avenue and McBride Street. From McBride Street on to Taylor Street, the pipe should be fourteen inches in diameter only, leaving the distribution pipes leading therefrom the size heretofore indicated by your engineer. The reason for this change of size from the plan made by your engineer Is that the conduit leading from Lake Wood- worth to the reservoir is, and always will be, also one of the service or distribution pipes, and tnere would be no occasion to lead to the reservoir direct, any part of the water which would naturally be diverted from the pipe line leading thereto, by means of these lateral distribution pipes. In case of fire, we would have the full flow from Lake Woodworth entering Into the large main leading down McBride Street and the full reserve of Acropolis Reservoir No. 1 pouring down into and reinforcing the supply.in these mains, from the south. From the intersection of Sixth Avenue and Taylor Street the main leading to Acropolis Hill Reservoir No. 1 should, of course, remain eighteen Inches in size. Important latera's branching from the Sixth Avenue main at Taylor Street would not only Eerve as distribution mains, but when the draft demanded from the water system by the city was less than the normal inflow from Lake Wood- worth, these lateral mains would serve as conduits leading from the lake to the reservoir and would continue to bring toward the reservoir their proportionate amounts of water. By reason of these lateral mains, the combined capacity of the system from the point of diversion at Sixth Avenue and McBride over to the point of reunion at Sixth Avenue and Taylor, would be such as to carry forward to Acropolis Hill a vastly greater volume of water than the main conduit would bring into the city. A Proposed Hydro-Electri<- Development When In your city, 1 found lhat you were generating your electricity by the use of steam. The information which 1 received indicates that your present peak load is about 60 K. \V. and that the maximum capacity rrf the plant is 100 K. W. The best Information that I could obtain seemed to Indicate thai at a very early day, at least. 200 K. VV. could be disposed of ai a profitable rate, providing the cosl of generation was within economic lines; and that only a short period eif lime would elapse before the demand would be at least 400 K. W. en- more, Owing to the fact that a very Inexpensive dam will provide you with a constant discharge of 76 second feet, and thai your demand for municipal service will not exceed nine second feet, it would appear thai you will have, running io waste, from the south fork alone, 66 second feet, and that if the run-off eif the north fork were added thereto, you would have 90 second feet whirh i-ould be used profitably for the generation of power. I have, therefore, given some consideration to the question of constructing the first 13,000 feet of your pipe line leading to the city, of a sufficient size to guarantee you the delivery of the maximum amount of water required in the city, and also to convey a sufficient quantity of water to generate a considerable amount of power. After some consideration, It occurs to me that probably the use of standard generators of about 500 K, W. capacity would be the most suitable and economic size for first installation, and I present herewith an estimate of cost of installing an electric plant at tbe head of Lake Shawatlans, the pipe used for penstock therefor, being also used jointly from Lake Woodworth to near the power house, as the supply conduit for the service of the city. You have already installed in your city an electric system using three-phase, alternating current of 60 cycles and 2,200 volts. From your main transmission, wires, customers are served through static transformers, stepping down to about 120 volts. Whilst your Investment in this present plant, outside of your generator and the boiler and engine connected therewith, is not very heavy, it appears that It would be advantageous in constructing a hydro-electric plant to so construct the same that the current delivered therefrom would be of the same voltage and the same number of cycles as.that now delivered from your steam plant. By this means, during the early and testing out part of the operation of your hydro-electric plant, and at any time when you should desire to shut down the hydro-electric plant for any emergency, the present steam plant could be started on notice,-and would supply a sufficient amount of emergency current to carry you through the hours of repair necessarily consumed at the hydro-electric station. My recommendation would, therefore, be that your first installation be that of a generator wound for ipproximately a 4,000 volts, Star connected. Whilst this generator would be three-phase and 60 cycle, there would be led therefrom to tbe city, four wires, three of these wires carrying current at approximately 4,000 volts, and the fourth wire coming from the center of the generator, would be neutral. Service would be made from a 4,000 volt wire in connection with the neutral. In this case, there would be offered to the static transformers precisely the same voltage which is now furnished by your 2,200 volt machine. • This arrangement would give you the least cost of copper, reasonable line drop for the distance, would eliminate all step-up or step-down transformers in the station house, and would permit the operator at tbe plant to control the whole output. The only extra thing required being duplicate bus-bars at the station. Upon that theory of Installation, 1 estimate the following charges rightly to be made against an installation having a norma] output of 500 K. W. with peak or overload output of 625 K. W., or about 835 horsepower: ESTIMATE Proportional part of cost of dam $ 5,000.00 1,000-H. P., 600 R. P.

CHRISTIE, Manager, Prince Rupert Branch Grand Tcital J140.000.00 This would be your fixed investment and from this you would, after the completion of the plant, be obligated to anticipate an annual expenditure in connection therewith as follows: Interest at 5% on $140,000 $ 7,000.00 Sinking fund, depreciation and upkeep 11,200.00 Plant incidentals 1,250.00 Office accounting 2,500.00 Salary of superintendent and attendants 5,600.00 Wages of linemen and cost of linemen supplies 3.S50.00 Total annual expenditure $31,400.00 As the result of the investment above described and the annual expenses above set out, you would have the following: Normal generation K. W. hours per annum 4,380,000 Probable demand at 30% or 150 K. W. hours constant output. .1,314,000 I estimate that the average sale price would not in any case be fixed at less than ten Cents per K. W. hour, and 1 have been advised by good authorities that it ought to be held at fifteen cents per K. W. hour for this territory. Basing our estimate, however, on the theory of an average sale price of but ten cents per K. VV. hour, and on a constant delivery of but 150 K. W., we would have a gross revenue from this plant of $134,000. Deducting therefrom the fixed charges of $31,400 per annum, set forth above, there is the opportunity of having a net revenue of approximately $100,000 per annum from this plant. If your demand for output exceeds 150 K. W. and If your price is in excess of ten cents, no higher fixed charge will result, but greater revenue will be derived. I have attempted to place the proportionate amount sold and the salable price at the minimum figure probable. Complete and detailed specifications for this electric proposition can be prepared and furnished, if you determine on its construction. The Water Scheme The size or diameter of pipe which it would be necessary to build from the dam at Lake Woodworth to near the power house at the head of Lake Shawatlans, if used jointly by both the power house proposition and for municipal supply would, be forty-five inches. If constructed wholly for power purposes, a greater loss of head would be permissible and a pipe of smaller diameter could be used, but as it is so much cheaper to build one pipe of the combined capacity of two, than to build two separate lines, I deem it to be best to combine the two services in one pipe line, down to the beginning of the penstock of the water wheels. The total estimated cost of this combination pipe, together with the surge pipe and a relief tank, and all incidentals to the cross or tee at which the pipe leading to the city would separate from the larger pipe, is the sum of $109,000. The cost of an eighteen-inch machine banded pipe (which as I have said, would be sufficient to supply the municipality for many years to come), from the dam to the cross or tee leading from the penstock, would be $22,000. In the estimate that is to follow, believing that you will adopt as sound financial economy the theory of constructing an eighteen-inch pipe only, instead of a twenty-four inch pipe heretofore contemplated, I am making my estimate In reference to the city water supply system upon that basis only. LAKE WOODWORTH GRAVITY WATER SUPPLY SYSTEM Proportionate part of cost of dam $ 5,000.00 Proportionate part of cost of first 13,000 feet of pipe 22,000.00 Line along the shores of Lake Shawatlans 23,800.00 Crossing Shawatlans Passage (one eighteen-inch pipe) 20,000.00 From Shawatlans Passage to Eleventh Avenue and McBride Street (cast iron) 40,000.00 From McBride Street to Acropolis Hill 0,000.00 $110,800.00 Clearing 5,000.00 Excavating channel at outlet of Shawatlans 2,000.00 Trenching and backfilling 113,000.00 Trestles, etc 1,200.00 Concrete 250.00 Tramway, etc 33,000.00 Piling 1,200.00 $275,450.00 CITY DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM Approximately 20,000 feet of cast Iron laterals $ 48,000.00 76 hydrants, at $85 6,460.00 Valves and valve chambers 1,000.00 Reservoir on Acropolis Hill 30,000.00 $ 85,460.00 Grand Total of Water System $360 910.00 Grand Total of Hydro-Electric System 140,000.00 Grand Total of combined systems $500,910.00 The Finnncial Outlook From the best Information that I can obtain, the present income from your water supply is about $7,000 per year, and the increased income during the first year, will probable be about $3,000, so that at the com- oad will 233 pletion of the installation of the new water system, other than this moneys from a general levy, made as a charge for the use of hydrants, the income from the water system will be about $10 000. At sixty dol lars per annum, as a charge for the 76 hydrants to be installed, there will be a revenue to the city of $4,560, additional, so that the probable g 'oss revenue to the city from the water department, will be approximate!? $15,000 per annum, as against a revenue of at least $130,000 per annum, to be to be derived from a general levy, made as a charge for the use of hydrants, the income from the water system will be about $10,000. At sixjty dollars per annum, as a charge for the 76 hydrants to be installed, the™ will be a supplied and a revenue obtained, which will guarantee the earlly redemption of any debentures which may be issued for the construction of the two utilities. Concerning Possible Economy of Construction Some discussion was bad with your engineers in relation to the possibility of greatly reducing the cost of the construction oi the main pipe line from Lake Woodworth to Lake Shawatlans, and th ? dam and other incidental costs necessary to be met in connection wi th its construction, by reason of the revenues and charges which might' be derived from the construction of a municipal sawmill which would /furnish the staves for the continuous stave pipe and the timber for the)dam and a great amount of other timber for municipal use. I There is no question but that the cedar upon your oi-n grounds, especially tye yellow cedar, would make staves equal to the West that can be made anywhere in the world, and it would seem from a (casual study of the proposition, that the erection of a municipal sawmill alnd its operation in connection with this whole matter, would result in very material economy. This, however, is a matter which your municipal authorities on the ground, must consider with reference to local cond.tilons and with reference to which it is, therefore, impossible for me to more than direct your attention. ,- No estimate has been made of any cost of clearing anr 'timber on the shores of Lake Woodworth, because that timber is of suc,h great value that only the most wasteful and profligate management vciuld permit its removal to be other than a source of income to the city. I have not attempted to estimate the revenue to be derived therefron:, because I have no accurate information as to the number of thousand fe.it iboard measure to be affected by the change in lake level. I In many reports, it is customary, after the finishing o(f the estimates, to add some lump sum to cover the cost of probable incidentals occurring in connection with the cost of construction. I have no. [added any such sum to this estimate, from the fact that the prices used iin computing the different amounts, are considerably higher than those iprlces which, in our practice, we have found fully sufficient to cover tin J'ost of construction and all ordinary expenses. It is entirely possible, bo'lvevor, that there are both climatic and labor conditions present with ytlyj, which will demand still further added amounts to be .made in oreegjr to Insure your ability to construct these utilities and still have a safe/nmrgin of finance. For this reason, 1 must leave to your Honorable Cou'.,„iI the wisdom of determining just such an amount as it may be necessary to add. Conclusion In concluding this report, 1 would say: That there should be no difficulty in disposing of sufficient debentures at a low rate of interest, to cover the entire cost of constructing both of the utilities mentioned above, and of assuring your citizens that practically no added burden will' be imposed upon them by reason of direct taxa (ion, owing to the large net revenue which it is reasonable to show will lie derived from the general operation of the two utilities. - Very respectfully, R. 11.

GENTLEMEN: Re Lake Woodworth Water Supply System. I have examined the report of Mr. R. H. Tboi nson, Consulting Engineer, on the Lake Woodwortli Water Supply Syste Supply Main The essential difference between the report of submitted by me on the 25th March last, is the supply main providing for a population of 33,S0t main providing for a population of 60,000; and I cost by the substitution of wood for cast iron accept Mr. Thomson's judgment based on his ex; pipe will be good for 25 years, and to concede tha justify postponing any provision at present for a 33,800. Reservoir I Infer from the report Mr. Thomson does not /expect either fibe Montreal Hill Reservoir, or a second reservoir on thee' Acropolis Hill Iwill be >, required until the population exceeds 33,800. I would, thereforle, consider it important, that the first reservoir on the Acropolis should! be at the highest possible elevation consistent with economy, in order tr> pro- Vide fire protection for the elevated residential streets. I have had llevels taken and a draft of a reservoir made which will accomplish thlsl, and will forward a copy to Mr. Thomson for his consideration. F i Crossing of Shawatlans Passage I The possibility of an accident to the submarine pipe at the Karl? may be very remote, but I am of opinion that two pipes would strengl; the confidence of underwriters in the reliability of the system. Hydro-Electric Development It Is my opinion the hydro-electric development should be undertaken at the same time as the water supply system, in view of the grcliw- ing demand for electric energy and of the economy attained by the dou|ble construction.

Use a clean brick instead of the ordinary iron stand, and you will then retain the heat of the irons much longer. To frost a bathroom window, make a very strong solution of Epsom salts and vinegar. Apply il with a brush, and afterwards go over it with some white varnish. The discolorations caused by striking matches can be removed by rubbing with a slice of freshly cut lemon, and then follow with a damp cloth dipped in whiting. Tumblers that have contained milk should be rinsed in cold water before being washed in hot. Putting the milky glass in hot water has the effect of clouding the glass permanently. To brighten up colors in faded wool work wash the work in soda and water and dry in the open air. Faded colors become bright under this process, as soda brings the colors up. To open windows easily that have become stuck by paint or wet weather, brush over the inside of the frames with ordinary black lead, and they will slide up and down without the slightest difficulty. Cayenne pepper is excellent as a means of ridding a cupboard of mice. The floor should be gone over carefully, and each hole stopped up with a piece of rag dipped in water, and then in cayenne pepper. After every washing is done it is a good plan to rub all the inside of the copper, while still warm, with soap rather thickly. You will not find this wasted, because the next washing day it makes the first water nice and soapy to start with, and also keeps the copper beautifully clean. A little salt placed at the bottom of the oil reservoir of a lamp will cause it to burn with a brighter light. When short of oil fill up the reservoir with water till the oil is all at the top. It will burn till every drop of oi lis used up. This is also a useful expedient In the case of short wicks. A new broom should be dipped in scalding suds to toughen its bristles. Shake ft free of water, and then hang It up to dry. The same treatment every week or ten days will keep the broom clean and make it last far longer than Is usually the case. Another point to be remembered is that a broom should never be left to stand on Its bristles; hang it up, or stand it on its handle. Carpet cleaning is a duty which should precede spring cleaning. Both mats and carpets should, In turn, be taken in hand. Among the various methods which are given tor the cleaning and freshening of a shabby carpet is to wipe it over with a cloth which has been wrung out of warm water and vinegar In the proportion of a cupful of the latter to a pailful of water. This process must not be carried out, however, until the carpet has been carefully and assiduously brushed, and care must be taken to let it dry thoroughly before it is walked over.

The beacon is a concrete structure in the form of a cube surmounted by a pyramid. It is 22 feet high. The red conical buoy heretofore moored off Fairview has been with drawn. NOTE IN BOTTLE A bottle containing a note signed Jack McNitt, supposedly written by one of the ill-fated passengers on the Sechelt has been picked up by two men. in the water near Brockton Point, Vancouver, The note bore the words "Jack McNitt, about, to die on Sechelt, tell my frlendH good-bye." The name Sechelt could hardly be deciphered, and the "1" was missing. The bottle was white, with a screw top and the note was written on brown paper. The bottle was found by James Howard and John Tormey, employed by tbe Brockton Point Athletic'Club. The Sechelt foundered off Cape Church, the eastern point of Beecher Bay, on March 2 4 , when on a voyage from Victoria to Sooke, and over twenty persons were lost. No passenger list was kept, and it is not known whether Jack McNitt was among those who took passage. His name was not mentioned among those known to have been lost, but there were several workmen bound for the railroad construction camp whose identity was not learned, included among the victims. SHAL1NG PATHOL About the end of this month or the beginning of "next, II. M. S. Shearwater will leave Esquimalt for the tiering Sea to look after Brit- ish interests during the scaling sea- seui. The sloop of win- is now preparing for her trip to the north and will shortly commence taking on Btores and provisions, Ever since her return from the south Seas the Bhearwater has been lying at Esquimau overhauling, and she will be ready to leave- by the end of the eeieilel ie. In the past It has been customary for Oreal Britain and the United States only to be represented in Bering Sea by protection vessels, but this year Japan has decided to send a vessel across to look after that nation's interests. The cruiser Nan- Iwa left Hakodate on May 1 and will proceed first to the Kamschatka coast and Copper Islands. She Is expected to reach the scene of sealing activities towards the close of this month. Five revenue cutters are to protect the interests of the United States, four already having been sent north, and the other, the Rush, now awaits orders al Seattle. If pelagic sealing is not stopped as a result of the conference being held at Washington, it is reported that the American government will send a cruiser into Bering Sen to assist the revenue cutters. Bottle Licenses are Granted (Continued From Page One.) newal of the wholesale license formerly held by Sutherland & Maynard. Clarke Bros.' license was renewed with leave to change the location of the premises. The Northern B. C. Liquor Company was granted a renewal. The Prince Rupert Wholesale Liquor & Supply Company aplied under the name of Mr. Hunt, for a renewal. W. E. Fisher asked if the company was in existence. The application 'was referred to and found to be asked for from June 15. The application was laid over until the following day. The applications for bottle licenses were also laid over until the following day in order to allow the commissioners to look into them as to their regularity. Upon resuming its sitting yesterday, the chairman asked for the reading of the minutes of the sitting the day previous. Upon the reading of the minutes, Alex Manson said he wished the day before to convey the meaning that be was applying for a renewal of Mr. Prudhomme's license from July IB, or whatever date the license would expire. ( . ■•" s. ' o * Mr. Peters said that it was clearly set forth in the application for a renewal that it should be from June 14. The board could not grant such a renewal from July 15. The board was powerless in the matter. Mr. Manson then pleaded that Mr. Prudhomme's license should not be refused on the renewal application. It had been up for a long time. He thought, that the commissioners might well waive any objections. Mr. Prudhomme, he could say, was ready to be reasonable in every way in seeking an amicable settlement of the difficulty. Charles T. Parttington applied for a wholesale license to begin July 15, which was granted on a unanimous vote. J. F. MacDonald asked for a wholesale license to begin June 14. W. E. Fisher, representing Mr. MacDonald, explained that he had previously had a license for the B. C. Wholesale Liquor and Supply Company. He found that the license asked by the. company was not In order. Mr. MacDonald wished lo j have the license for the sale of the property he held which was fitted up for it. c. j. Maynard's application tor a leeeitii' license near the corner nt' sixth avenue nnd Fulton street was then considered. The chairman said that the commissioners had gone into the matter of the bottle licenses very carefully with the city solicitor. He would personally not be in favor of allowing any bottle licenses if it would interfere with the number of hotel licenses. The solicitor gave his opinion that it would not, however. Morevover,. the city of Victoria, which had many more bar licenses than was now allowed by law, had, during the last fifteen months granted additional bottle licenses, which showed that that was the way it was interpreted there. He thought that, a bottle license would be a convenience to those who desired to have liquor for family use. If Victoria e-eiuld grant these licenses without its being considered as ef fectlng the hotel licenses he thought Prince Rupert should be able to do the same.

Information and tickets obtainable from the office hereunder mentioned. Trans-Atlantic steamship bookings by all lines arranged A. E. McMASTER Freight and Pasenger Agent, G. T. P. Wharf. been asked to appear for certain citizens to oppose the issue of any bottle licenses. He contended that It was clear by the statute that the bottle license was regarded as a retail liquor license just as a bar license was. The population of the city was not sufficient to usarrant any further retail licenses under the act. He argued also that the act had not been complied with in the applications, In certain cases the scale of the drawing was not correct. All the owners were not shown. In cases the agents signed for the property which was not according to the statute. In this connection he instanced the case of the bank managers signing for the bank. The chairman said that the act had been gone into very carefully by the board with Mr. Peters. What had actuated the commissioners in coming to the conclusion they did was that Victoria had been granting the licenses on the basis suggested. Commissioner Merryfield asked who Mr. Manson appeared for. Mr. .Manson said he appeared on bis own behalf as well as for others whose names he did not care to divulge. Mr. Peters said he had not given a written opinion. He further pointed out that the bar licenses were Intended in the act lo be retail licenses in the proper sense of the word. It was true thai within the meaning of a certain section the bottle licenses were Included as retail licenses but he felt that that must be Interpreted as being intended as applying only within the meaning of that particular see-tion. The license was allowed on a unanimous vote of the commissioners. On the application of .1. A. Smith for a bottle license being brought up Commissioner Smith asked to have leave to take no part In the proceedings owing to the fact of the relationship between himself and the applicant. Mr. Manson said he did not wish to raise any objection to tbe application of Mr. Smith. He was opposed to the bottle licenses. The license was granted. In the case of Austin M. Brown's application for a bottle license no affidavit accompanied the application. The license was refused on a unanimous vote. The court then adjourned until July 14.
