No. 71 CORONATION TROOPS Colonial Force Will be Quartered Duke of York School Chelsea. at Lord Kitchener Will Have Command of Lund Forces Taking Part in Event (Special to The Journal) LONDON, March 10.—-The Colonial troops attending the coronation of King George will be quartered at the Duke of York School, at Chelsea. Lord Strathcona has given $1,250 towards the fund for the entertainment of these forces. Lord Kitchener, it has been decided, shall be in command of all the troops at the coronation. The coronation will present no more striking and significant feature than the representative force from the new Imperial Army, which will take part. It is not merely that the force will be gathered from every part ofthe world and from a wonderful diversity of races, not merely that the variety of uniform and equipment will give a most picturesque display, but, in addition, every corps will have a history and a meaning of its own; every man will be a symbol of the forces which have built up and are holding together the British Empire. At the end of May these stalwart soldiers will begin to pour in from the ends of the earth. Australia, Canada, New Zealand and South Africa will send their representatives who will include Boers and French Canadians, while there will be detachments of all arms—mounted rifles, artillery, engineers and infantry. In addition to these larger contingents troops are coming from tlie following places: Malta, Bermuda, Straits Settlements, West Africa, Uganda, Ceylon, Lagos, China, Fiji, Leeward Islands, Barbadoes, Egypt, Cyprus, East Africa, Nigeria, Gambia, British Guiana, Falkland Islands, West Indies, Mauritius, Trinidad. The various regiments will include in addition to white troops, black and yellow soldiers and police. The regiments to bo represented include the Malta Artillery and Militia, Singapore V. R., Penang V. R., Cyprus Police, Gold Coast Regiment, Southern Nigerian Regiment, Northern Nigerian Regiment, Ceylon B. R., King's African Rifles, Sierra Leone Battalion, Gambia Company, Lagos Constabulary, West India Regiment and Malay States detachment. The various forces will roughly comprise a company fro mthe Channel Islands, 200 men from the Crown Colonies, and 1,500 men from the Dominions. About 25,000 troops will be utilized in the actual ceremony, but the number doing duty In London will be over 50,000, covering the two days. o Mr. W. H. Cullin is appointed to succeed Mr. Robert W. Clarke as chief clerk In the government printing bureau. The appointee Is one of the veterans of the typographical craft in Victoria, having come there from Winnipeg about twenty-five years ago. He has been In the government service for twelve years. He Is a brother of Frank E. Cullin, of The Journal staff.

The station at Sechart, the first opened up, Ib now ready to receive whales and prepare them for shipment. The other stations including the one at Naden Harbor, will be opened up as quickly as possiblwe. Train Collision Has Fatal Results- One Man Kllle dand Sev. eral Injured (Special to The Journal) MONCTON, N. B., March 10. One man named McDougall was killed yesterday nad several Injured in a collision between the maritime express bound from Halifax to Montreal and a train on the Intercolonial Railway, at Derby Junction. o Ensign Johnstone, of the Salvation Army, has returned to the city from a trip to Vancouver where, with other officers on the coast, he conferred with the new commanding ifflcer for Canada, Commissioner Rees. PROTECTION FOR CANADIAN FISHERIES Canadian Government it is Reported Has Made Arrangements with the Whalers Operated by Mackenzie & Mann to Carry Fishery Protection Office It Is reported that the scheme which the Dominion Government has in view for the better protection of the fisheries of this coast includes the taking in of the whaling schooners under arrangement as patrol steamers. This will not interfere with the regular business of the schooners but as the vessels are fast ones easily handled and are engaged in their regular operations close to the waters which are subject to being poached upon, the schooners will, it is thought be able to gather in prizes from time to time. A fishing protection officer will be placed on board each of the schooners. No details are available at present but it is prohably this scheme which the Minister of Marine and Fisheries had in his mind when, in answering a question of G. H. Barnard in the House of Commons a few weeks ago he said that an adequate protection he felt could be given but he did not care to make it public at the time. The whalers will be subsidized for the duty In a similar way to which in some years ago arrangements were made by which they were to act in giving assistance to vessels In distress off the west coast of Vancouver Island. The schooners' field of operations under the plans of the newly organized company will extend from the Straits of Juan de Fuca to Alaskan waters. If they are all empowered to seize poachers found within th^ three-mile limit they should have a very deterring effect upon the United States vessels that make a practice of preying upon the fish within Canadian waters. The trouble in the past with the Dominion Government protection steamers has been that they are too slow and too few to give any good results. The cruiser Rainbow, which will engage in the work, while successful in one instance, is regarded a stoo large a vessel to very effectively carry out this work. The small whalers are fast and liable to appear unexpectedly at any point along the coast and are thus better adapted for the service required. TO GUARD FRONTIER U.S. Government is Sending Troops to Mexican Border to Stop Fillibustering. No Further Smuggling of Arms and Men Is to Re Allowed Between Republics (Special to The Journal) WASHINGTON, March 10.—A despatch dated Charlottesville, Vs., through which place the prosident's train passed last night, says: "All doubt as to the purpose of the government in sending 20,000 troops to the Mexican border has been swept away." The United States has determined that the revolution in the republic to the south must end. The American troops have been sent to form a solid military wall alon gthe Rio Grande and stop filibustering. There is to be no further smuggling of arms and men across the international boundary. POSTPONE ACTION License Commissioner Adjourn Until the Return of Mayor Applications 'lor Licenses Will Re Considered on March 2tf— Short Sitting GERM OF LEPROSYIGETTING IN ORDER Important Discovery Made by Scientists in University at New Orleans. The Disease Communicated by Fish —Cure Believed Found Hospital Board Meets and Considers Questions of Policy For Institution. Rules mill Regulations to Govern tlie Place will l$<- Prepared as Soon as Possible MASTER NOT RESPONSIBLE Mr. Justice Murphy Dismisses Conviction Against Mr.' McLennan by Magistrate South. That the master cannot be held always responsible for the servant's acts under the Bush Fire Law, was the effect a decision rendered by Mr. Just'ce Murphy, dismissing a conviction against Mr. R. P. McLennan by Mr. C. J. South, J. P., in August last. Mr. South, in entering the conviction, expressed his wish that it might be taken to a higher court and the matter finally settled. Mr. McLennan was fined because some Japanese employed by him had set a fire on his ranch on Gambler Island, which had got away from them. The defence was that the fire had been started without Mr. McLen- nan's authority. In his judgment, which was read in chambers, Mr. Justice Murphy said that he did not consider that the evidence had warranted the magistrate In convicting. In the second place, there was no justification for the magistrate in holding that Mr. McLennan was guilty of any offence owing to the acts of his servants. "I think that the magistrate wrongly interpreted the section of the Bush Fires Act under which he proceeded," said His Lordship. "Tho magistrate must understand how impossible it i? to hold that any person who is unfortunate enough to have a fire on his place Is guilty of an offence. The meaning oi section 12 of the act is that. It is incumbent on the person who caused a fire to be set out to show that he did it under the provisions of the statute as to permits, etc." The license commisioners met on I Wednesday in the city hall for their I statutory quarterly gathering to con- s u«r applications for licenses. There were present only Commissioner Smith and Commisioner Merryfield. It was decided to adjourn until March 23 when Mayor Manson would be here and a full board could sit. Chief McCarvell reported that the different licensed houses were conducting their premises in a proper manner. The G. T. P. Inn lie reported had had the frosting removed from the windows improving the situation as far as a clear view was concerned. The regulations, he felt, however, had not been fully complied with in this respect. Commissioner Smith explained that probably lie was responsible for the situation as it existed as he had told Mr. Sweet that he thought the work done would bring the premises in line with the rules. He suggested that the commissioners might look over the premises' and decide whether the windows were sufficiently unobstructed. Commissioner Merryfield said that he felt the regulations should be lived up to. If it was found they were not being fully observed, he wanted to see the proprietors made to live up to the rules. The applications for licenses were then enumerated by the clerk as follows: Julius Levy, for a bottle license; Fred E. Hunt, for a bottle license on the premises of Prince Rupert Wholesale Supply Company; John W. Austin, for bottle license in Hub Cigar Store; Geo. Sutherland, for restaurant license at Douglas Cafe; A. J. Prudhomme, for hotel license for Savoy Hotel. Mr. Prudhomme also made application for a renewal of the license. The application was accompanied by a petition signed by 300 persons. After a little discussion as to adjournment, it was decided to no adjourn. Mr. Prudhomme said he would have to go south on business and suggested a date when he could he present. It was explained that his application was all in order and could be dealt with In his absence all right. The acting chairman, Aid, Smith, said that nothing would lie done to prejudice his application because he happened lo be absent if the court sat while lie was away. They could hold over his application if it was found necessary until lie returned. This was agreeable to Mr. Prudhomme and the court adjourned until March 23. The discovery, isolation and culture of the bacillus of leprosy, just announced by Mrs. C. V. Duval and .Maurice Couret of the pathological department of Tulane University of New Orleans, and the experiments made with bacilli shed a great deal of new light on the origin, spread and contagion of leprosy and promise as an early result a serum' that will give protection against the disease. In the world-wide investigation which has been carried on for years into the nature of leprosy, physicians in Louisiana have had an important part. They have had good opportunities for research because the state maintains a leper hospital at Indian Camp in Iberville parish. Nowhere has greater progress been made in the examination and cure of leprosy. The disease was very prevalent in Louisiana in Spanish and French days. Then nothing was done but to chase tile lepers into the swamps, la terre des le preux, as it was called. Even after the civil war a very large colony of lepers was collected on the levees or swampy portions of Bayou, Lefourche and in several sections of the Acadian country in Southern Louisiana. Twenty years ago the leper hospital was established and a law passed segregating the lepers and compelling them to go to the leper home. Much difficulty was encountered at first in enforcing the law through mistaken sympathy with the lepers, but the home was made so comfortable that the prejudice aaginst it has passed away, and it has latterly received all persons found to be affected with the disease. In this way leprosy has gradually been eliminated in Louisiana and new cases are rare, numbering not more than one or two a year. Some forty lepers are now gathered at Indian Camp and all except a few are steadily improving in health. Three years ago Dr. Isadbre Dyar, the physician of the home and one of the best authorities on leprosy in the world, announced that four of the inmates had been cured. Altogether eight have been dismissed as cured. The treatment has been simple enough, consisting of good living conditions, good food, frequent hot baths and a few of tlie medicines recognized as beneficial to lepers. At the present rate of progress another ten years will probably see the end of leprosy In Louisiana through the cure of the milder cases and the death of the few patients in whom the disease has progressed too far for effective treatment. While the work of treating and curing leprosy was being carried on Ihe physicians have been investigating the disease itself to learn its cause, to discover its bacillus and to find a serum that would cure or prevent it. This investigation has been conducted in a dozen different parts of the world, but under most favorable conditions In Louisiana, where alone in this'country the disease can be studied at first hand. From time to time discoveries have been made. As a matter of fact, there has been a very strong disposition to accept tile conclusion of Dr. Jonathan Hutchison of England, presented by him to Ihe International Leprologlst convention of 1890, held at Berlin that uncooked or putrid fish was the means by which leprosy was transmitted to man. This fact was apparently demonstrated by all the conditions under which tlie disease prevails, leprosy being restricted to peoples living on the coast, whose principal diet Is fish especially raw or more or less putrid. But while tliis theory wns generally accepted il was not scientifically proved. Tills His. lluvnl and Couret have finally demonstrated, and tin- proof will call fur Mini*' experimentation only to provide the scrum. The germ of leprosy Is said to have been discovered as far hack as The Board of Directors of the Prince Rupert General Hospital met on Wednesday afternoon and considered pressing business. A number of bills were presented for payment and referred to * the finance committee. The house committee reported that the matron had been authorized to engage another nurse. The committee further had taken up the question of having the hospital granted the power to confer diplomas to nurses trained in the institution and the secretary had been asked to communicate with the authorities in the matter. The committee also has communicated with the Medical Association asking that body to name the order in which the different medical men would serve as house surgeon, in ac- accordance with the proposition made in that connection. On this point the question was raised as to whether the board would be responsible for the fees to tho doctors of any patients who were not able to pay and to whom they were called as house surgeon. It, was explained by the president and the chairman of the bouse committee that 'conversations with the medical men had been held and the doctors assured them that the board would not be asked to assume any liability in that respect. The medical men were willing to take chances on being paid otherwise. A resolution was passed embodying the principle that the board would not be responsible for the doctor's fees in the case of indigent patients. Tlie question of a concert to be given by the Choral Society in which the hospital was asked to bear half the expenses and get half the proceeds was brought up by the president. It. was decided to endorse the proposition, and a committee consisting of the president, J. A. Kirkpatrick and J. Thompson was appointed to represent the board in the arrangements. In this connection It was thought wise for the board to go on record with respect to concerts proposed to be given for the hospital. It was decided thai such entertainments should provide all the funds going to the hospital. The question of supplies to the hospital and the method of ordering was brought up. Tlie house committee stated that the instructions were to divide tlie orders up among tlie different firms which had contributed to the funds of the institution. After some discussion this system was approved of by the board. A committee consisting of the Hon. President, W. Manson, M. P. P., the President, D, G, Stewart,, J. A. Kirkpatrick, M. M. Stephens and O. H. Nelson, were appointed to go into the whole question of contract patients and report to tlie board upon some system to adopt. The house committee was authorized to draft a set of regulations dealing with the Interior working of tlie Institution.

X PRINCE RUPERT JOURNAL Friday, March 10, 1911 LEGISLATION PASSED Some Particulars of the Acts Which Were Put Through House. Provincial Law Makers Added to the Statutes Useful En- uctnients Referring to the legislation passed at the last sitting of the Legislature, the Colonist says: In that portion which may be bracketted as "public safety legislation," probably the most striking measure was the Premier's bill to amend the Coal Mines Regulation Act; but while this may be classed as an outstanding bill in itself, it contains few characteristic features really intelligible to the lay mind. Experts in coal mining testify, however, that the bill comprises all that is best in the coal mines laws of other countries making fort he greater safety of the mine woikers. The House certainly spent more time on this bill than on any other during the session, the protracted discussions in committee being chiefly due to the minute criticism of Mr. Hawthornthwaite and Mr. Williams, the latter especially bringing to bear on it a practical knowledge which proved beneficial in many particulars. In spite of Mr. Hawthornthwaite's criticisms he acknowledged when the bill came up for third reading that it was one of the best measures ever passed in the House, and probably the best legislation of the kind in any part of the world. Another public safety measure of great Importance was the Attorney- General's bill to regulate the use of motor vehicles. This was a bill necessitated by the changing conditions of twentieth century travel. Its regulations were condemned by many automobile men as being too drastic, but the Attorney-General declared that where the safety of the public is concerned it is better that the arm of the law should be stretched a little, but "who by taking thought can add one cubit" to that which is made too short! The bill at least provides definite rules for automobile traffic; it provides a good working basis and should anything in it prove impracticable it will at least always be possible to amend it. It must be borne in mind that' the same complaint of over stringency was raised against the Liquor Act which the Attorney- General brought down a year ago, but which has been found to work exceedingly well in practice. The Tramways Inspection Act, also introduced by the Attorney General, validates rules for the better control of tramway traffic and so also insures greater safety to the traveling public. Another measure with humanitarian aims was the amendment to the Health Act brought down by Hon. Dr. Young, to provide for the inspection of logging camps, sawmills and other industrial establishments. Where conditions in the camps are insanitary or filthy this act will give the government power to rectify them. The bill introduced by the Attorne-General to compel husbands to maintain deserted wives speaks for itself in the title. It adds greater power to these already given to magistrates to compel delinquent husbands to support wives who may have been conipelledt o leave them through their cruelty or neglect. While the maximum of $20 a week, which a husband may be forced to contribute in this way may not satisfy all parties, it. is still sufficient to overcome all pressing needs. While the amendments to the Dower Act. and the Inheritance Act which accompanied the former measure Into the House, did not have the honor of passing with il. through the doors, they were brought a certain distance on the way, and In a future session may well complete their journey. This legislation while fathered by the Attorney-General, was mothered in tlie kindly circle of the National Council of Women. Another important bill that makes for public safety in a slightly different, way was that of the Attorney- General to regulate trust companies. Money is tlie sinew of war whether It be against enemies In flesh and blood or against poverty and want, and any measure that ensures to tbe public greater safely In their investments must be considered a sound one. This bill provides for the systematic Inspection of trust companies, so that to those doing a sound and honest business It will prove an advertisement, and if it sends the shifty and shaky to the wall it Is better that they should lose than that the general public should suffer. Another public safety measure Anheuser-Busch s ,TOB5Y MM Budweiser Appeals to people of discriminating taste because of its superb Quality and Purity—no matter if you drink it in Canada or in its St. Louis home town— it always has the same snappy flavor—its in a class by itself. Bottled only at the Anheuser-Busch Brewery Clarke Bros. - fj%£-wf <afc& ST. LOUIS, MO. U. S. A. Distributors Prince Rupert, B. C. owes its origin to the thoughtful- ness of a private member, Mr. Frank .Mackenzie of Delta. This bill to restrict the sale of habit-forming drugs, may perhaps limit the sale of cocaine, morphine and opium to some extent, but if it also limits their intemperate use, not only the poor dope fiend, but the general public to which he is a burden, will have reason for gratitude. Turning from public safety to public utility one is struck by the preponderance of railway legislation as instanced chiefly by the big consolidated railways act brought down by the Attorney-General. This rather voluminous measure, while a new feature in itself, cannot be said to contain many new features in its clauses, being for the most part a replica and condensation of separate charters in consolidated form. Among the new features it does contain is the one that provides that in future railway companies may register, like joint stock companies, without coming to the legislature at all, and so may be enabled to proceed with their work without delay. While It simplifies the procedure as to the carrying out of the provisions of the charter when it is obtained. Like the municipal clauses act It provides for many instead of one; and naturally in working out its provisions much must be left to the discretion of the Minister of Railways. Noteworthy, by the way, along the same line was the legislation bringing into existence a department of railways with its specified minister. It is only another indication of how the simultaneous construction of three transcontinental railways through the province, calls for legislative and administrative action. While the minister of public works will carry on the department for a while, the time cannot be far distant when its multiplying duties will call for a separate minister. In the meantime in order to relieve the Minister of Public Works a little, a deputy minister for that department lias been provided for. Apart from general railway legislation a number of special charters were granted, though owing probably to the recognized fact that the general act was shortly to come into force, there were fewer of these than in former sessions. The greater number of these are intended to develop the northern part of the province; and it was openly stated that Mr. Norton Griffiths, the prominent British capitalist is behind two of them, namely—the Mid-Provincial Nechaco and the Naas and Peace River schemes. The Naas and .Skeena River railways would seem to be an allied interest, while of special interest to Vancouver was the bill to incorporate the Grouse Mountain Scenic Railway Company, a scheme that would seem to bring in prospect for inhabitants of the terminal city, cool mountain breezes in summer and skating and curling in the winter months. The reconstruction of the Portland Canal Short Line as the Cana dian & Northeastern presages the early extension of this Stewart City local line via Bear River, the upper Naas Valley and Pine River Pass to an ultimate terminus on the Hudson's Bay, this project being from the outset assured success since it has behind it that master railway builder Sir Donald Mann. In special legislation the two principal cities of Vancouver and Victoria have figured largely. Within the last week of the session Hon. Mr. Bowser brought down his bill to ratify the agreement between the city of Vancouver and the Great Northern Railway Company oveT False Creek. Not only did it strengthen the former agreement from the city's standpoint, but, it also insures that work will be begun and continued to a finish in the development of the False Creek basin. In addition to that the Attorney- General brought in legislation to enable the city to expropriate the waterfront lots on Main street which will give access to tbe city's property in the centre of the creek. Further than that the city's charter has been amended in many particulars, so that it will be enabled the better to cope with changing conditions. Then again the site of the provincial university has been definitely fixed in Point Grey contiguous to the city, and this Institution must greatly enhance Vancouver's prestige as an educational centre. A number of useful agricultural measures marked the debut of Hon. Price Ellison, himself a farmer, as minister of agriculture, showing that the new minister is bringing to this important department a practical knowledge that must be of great benefit to this province. Of eighty-eight bills Introduced (luring the session seventy-eight received the assent of the Lieutenant- Governor at prorogation. Three bills introduced by Mr. Hawthornthwaite and Mr. P. Williams, met defeat at second reading. These were Mr. Hawthornthwaite's amendment to the Workmen's Compensation Act and his bill to prevent discrimination against members of trades unions. I'. Williams' hardy annual to compel the fortnightly payment of wages went down to Us yearly defeat. Three private bills were withdrawn. While the volume of legislation introduced this session was smaller than last, the number of bills passed was almost as great. In the session of 1910, 93 bills were introduced, of which 82 became law, 54 being public acts and 28 private. This year 88 bills were introduced, of which 78 became law—63 public and 15 private bills. It will thus be seen that In public acts a greater number have become law than last, though there was a heavy falling off in the number of private bills. This was due probably to two causes. The greater number of private bills are railway charters, and no doubt many applications for these were withheld awa'ting the advent of the general railway act; many no doubt were, also deterred from making applica tions by uie Premier's announcement a year before, that in future if a railway company failed to follow up its charter by actual construction its deposit would be forfeited. It does not mean, however, that there has been any diminution in actual activity in railway building, as more is being done by large corporations than ever before in the history of the province. In addition to all the weighty legislation mentioned above, the supply bill authorized the expenditure of a sum approximating $12,000,000, a sum never before equalled, so that while the session has been neither noisy nor contentious, it has proved that the mill wheel of legislation can move as effectively in a calmly flowing as in a turbulent stream. PRINCE RUPERT ASSESSMENT DISTRICT THE NAAS VALLEY Rapid Development of a Section of Northern Ifiltish Columbia Less than a year ago tbe Naas Valley first came into prominence through the efforts of a brave little band of pioneers who went up there to stake land and finai'y succeeded in locating 60,000 acres, says the Week. They brought back a good report; told of a valley 200 miles long and ten to fifteen miles wide, which was fertile, with alluvial soil, light'y timbered, traversed by a river and watered by numerous tributaries. Later on other adventurous spirits followed the lead and by the time that the first 60,000 acres had been disposed of to Mr. James S. Rear, of Vancouver, a second section of 90,000 acres was taken up by Mr. Morton Griffiths, the member for Wednesbury. Later some 200,000 acres were staked so that it is probable that not less than half a million acres have been located up to date. Only a few days ago the local press told of a railway from the Pacific tide waters up the Naas and through to Edmonton, there to connect with the Canadian Northern Railway. Branch lines are also contemplated into the Naas from the Skeena by way of the Kitsumkalum, and from Stewart and the Bear River country by way of Bitter Creek. Only this week particulars have been published of the outfitting of a party to prospect the Naas for minerals under the guidance of Mr. Joseph Varin, and now the latest information If that Mr. J. S. Rear has succeeded In inducing the Dominion Government under the direction of their engineer, Mr. G. A. Keefer, to blast out the rocks and boulders which impede navigation In the Naas so that small craft will be able to navigate the river for a distance of two hundred miles. Thus In one short year has a new country been practically discovered, and it is only one of the many virgin tracts in the northern part of British Columbia which will within a few years become settled and prosperous. A court of revision and appeal under the provisions of the "Assessment Act" and "Public Schools Act' for the Prince Rupert Assessment District for the year 1911, will be held at the Court House, Prince Rupert, on Tuesday, the 28th day of February, 1911 at the hour of 3 o'clock In the afternoon.

Friday, March 10, 1911 PRINCE RUPERT JOURNAL ty************************\. * _ •:- | launching "Thunderer." | *********************■:•**** In the whole history of giant shipbuilding no launch has ever been more skilfully planed or more successfully carried out than the launch of the Thunderer at Canning Town. It was arranged that at seventeen minutes past three the huge bulk should begin to move. Just as the hand of the clock reached the quarter Mrs. Randall Davidson, wife of the Archbishop of Canterbury, with one smart cut severed a red, white and blue rope and released the last dog-shore. A great block, weighing eight hundred weight fell and the vessel was free of all impediment Every eye watched her closely. "She's moving!" the cry went up. Then she stopped, moved again, and at 3:17 exactly began to slide with slow majesty towards the water. It was an amazingly impressive sight. The ship looked so enormous that it had been hard to realize she could move at all. When she did, how could she be controlled? Would she not break away and play havoc with staging, derrick poles, everything? » No, when she did move she moved with dignified deliberation, as if she knew exactly what she was doing. One felt almost as if some great, convulsion of nature were taking place. With marvellous precision she glided on, scarcely quickening her pace at all. Forty tons of grease at $50 a ton had been put down to ease her progress. All the ingenuity and experience of Mr. Clement Mackrow and his assistants in the designing department had been brought to bear on the problem of getting her safely Into the water. They had laid their plans well. Without a jerk, without a quiver, without a hitch, she slipped down the 500-foot, incline and was in the river before they had recovered from tlie shock of seeing her begin to move. There was, of course, tremendous cheering. The whole neighborhood was black with people. Special trains and moJ.or-coaches had brought two thousand guests. East Loudon made it a holiday and crowded every possible point of vantage. It was a mighty shout that went up. In tbe excitement hats were waved wildly, handkerchiefs fluttered, caps flung into the air. Small cannon fired a salute. A band played the National Anthem. And from a big colored paper lantern hung on the bows a host of doves escaped, a pretty Japanese custom which the Thames Iron Works did well to copy. In the river the'Tliunderer looked even more imposing and more vast than she did In the yard. Her immensely powerful bows were now for the first time properly seen. No time was lost In attaching tugs and she was soon towed away. For the next twelve months she will be at Dagenham, farther down the river, in process of completion.

Friday, March 10, 1911 LIQUOR REGULATIONS The inadvisablllty of city councils attempting to make regulations governing liquor licenses that are liable to elash with the general acts, is shown by the judgment given in another column, which was handed down by Mr. Justice Gregory of the Supreme Court. The councils of the municipalities have powers enough conferred upon them to regulate the trade sufficiently without attempting to usurp powers not given them. We have no sympathy with the spirit which actuates a certain class in every community to believe that every appointee of a government is a menace to tlie public interests. License commissioners may be expected to have just as keen a desire to work for the welfare of the community as the ctiy council has. The insinuation that the situation Is different can only originate In little minds. o .ALFALFA vs. ASPARAGUS ulars have gone so far as to wire brakemen to reserve bumqers for them. Many efforts have been made to rid the railroads of tlie undesirables but none of the cities and towns along the line are willing to support them. The consequences is that are arrested, given ten minutes to leave town, and then hurry to the railroad statino and board an outgoing train. If they are arrested at the next stop the same proeeedure is foiled. "Yes; I saw the statement," observed Mr. B. Baggage, literary director of the Clinker Club, an organization which numbers among its members men who have a speaking acquaintance with every bumper in the country. "It only goes to show the ingratitude of some persons. The Lehigh Valley should give our organization a vote of thanks instead of a roast. The fact that we are able to ride on the trucks of their cars shows that the roadbed is in good shape and is a splendid advertisement." "Are you going to make any reply to the charges?" "I have been directed to file a complaint with the Public Service Commission. We had no intention of doing so, but the companies have forced our hand. A dozen of our members have reported that they rode all the way from Buffalo on the front end of the first baggage car, without being drenched by the engineer. This it a plain violation of the law." o POSSIBILITIES OF AIRSHIPS Alfalfa roots, white and tender, will take the place of early asparagus if Louise F. Weiniand, an irrigation rancher in the Spokane Valley, is successful with her plans for marketing the newest table vegetable in the western country. Miss Weiniand, who came from Pennsylvania last spring, broached the enterprise to members of the Spokane chamber of commerce and several have promised to assist in establishing a small cannery. The discovery that alfalfa root is nourishing to man as it is to live stock was 'made by Miss Weiniand several months ago, but the proper method of preparing it, was not ascertained until a few days ago, when the young woman, after poring for hours in a huge tome on cookery, decided to try recipes for cooking asparagus. Tbe first dish was sampled by a neighbor's hired man, who, ignorant of what he was eating, j called for a second dish. Other! neighbors ate of the root and pro-i nounred it satisfying to the palate as well as highly nourishing. They say the flavor is similar to aspara-l Stis. Wilbur Wright's Views on the Situation As It Presents Itself TRAMPS ARE COSTLY Railways Suffer to a Large Extent' from tlie Fraternity of the Road Wilbur Wright, who is in Washington, thinks the world has grown too optimistic about the possibilities of travel by aeroplane, says the New York Sun. "It will be nearer 2,000 years than two," said Mr. Wright, "when we shall be able to fly from Washington to New York in an aeroplane in two hours. Ii is almost impossible to estimate the speed that can he attained by a flying machine. I would undertake to build a machine that could fly at the rate of 100 miles an hour, but I would not want to operate it. Many years will elapse before the aeroplane will be used for transportation. It cannot supply the requirements that are furnished by railroads. Its greatest use lies in the field of sports and military operations. Flying through the air is a great sport and no more dangerous than automoblllng. "The tragic deaths of Hoxsey and Moisant, I presume, may retard the development of the aeroplane to some extent, but it will go forward. Public sentiment and laws will minimize the danger of the flying machine. These influences will check the recklessness of the aviator." If member? of the tramp fraternity could be persuaded to do bfisi- ness wtih ticket offices the railroads of the country would be $25,000,000 stronger In their sales every year. The sum mentioned is what It costs the companies to transfer the perpetual motion demonstrators from one community to another, according to a statement issued by representa- j fives of the various lines. This does' not include the wear and tear on the bumpers and other parts of the roll-' ing stock, which are favored by ad-; vorates of fresh air flight. Tlie statement declares that it would be impossible to estimate the j iiiuiunt of damage done to private) property along the railroads by the long distance surveyors. Railroad officials say the "hobo" may furnish a, good laugh to persons who follow lis anlics in the comic supplements, Bul iliut lie has long since ceased to 3c a joke, so far as they are con-1 eerned. They say that at. times he io far forgets hlmse'f as to insert, Himself Into a loaded freight car and ] -hat in Instances too numerous to mention he has used a coupling pin lo impress the brakeman with his Importance. A determined effort, is to lie made to discourage his peregrinations, and ;he authorities are to lie asked to iend a hand In providing him with a permanent residence in a restricted neighborhood wliere his travels will be limited to a few feet of space. It is asserted that the Lehigh Valley has received the bulk of his patronage, and the officers of that company say they are willing lo tnrn It over to any other road for the asking Notwithstanding the fact (hat they have increased the police and scattered signs about, their property forbidding familiarity with the rolling stock, the tramps continue to honor the road. Some of the reg- EXPLA1NS TRANSACTION 3. 3. Warren Refers to Incident in Fanner's Rank investigation Mr. James J. Warren, president of the Kettle River Valley Railway, who also is general manager of the Trusts and Guarantee Company of Toronto, has been in Victoria. Interviewed with regard to the Farmer's Bank investigation, Mr. Warren said. "Over four years ago the Trusts Company, in conjunction with one of the large life insurance companies, loaned Mr. W. R. Tracers personally $80,000 on the hypothecation by him of certain promissory notes. Only $26,000 of this amount was contributed by the Trusts Company, the remainder being advanced by the life company. The loan was paid off In full in a few months' time. "Moreover, the Holes, the subject of the hypothecation, were paid practically In full and by the prom- issors. It now develops that Travers declared to the Finance Department al Ottawa that the Farmers' Bank had some $270,000 paid In cash by slock subscribers, and that this declaration was untrue. It is admitted that we did not know that he was going to make such a declaration, or that such a declaration was made. From these simple facts, however, II is suggested that technically we conspired with Travers. No one suggests that we, or that, I, got any of the moneys of the bank. "The matter Is not taken seriously In Toronto, as It Is recognized that a money-lending Institution must be able to lend money on ample security without being obliged to send a policeman with the borrower to see what he does wtih the money.' GERM OF LEPROSY tContinued from Page One) as the '70s, and its discovery has been announced from time to time since, but the experiments were never carried to a conclusion. It was fouud impossible to isolate and cultivate the germ and therefore to provide a serum. Now the experiment has been carried to its full limit and the remedy ought to be soon in sight. Drs. Duval and Couret experimented with fish, mainly gold fish. They found that the germ rapidly spread among them and the fish showed no bad effects and swam as comfortably as their brethren. Isolating tlie germ they found it very long living, and through their discoveries learned the manner in which the malady is propagated. The habitat of the germ is not the human body; that is, the disease does not originate in man and is not hereditary, as has often been believed. The human body is not well adapted to it and the germ multiplies very slowly in it; in other words the disease Is not easily communicated to man, as is generally believed. Most animals are safe from it, and this fact puts the investigators to a great deal of trouble. Guinea pigs and rabbits, the usual standbys o fthe laboratory in experiments of this kind, were found to be immune. The leprosy germs in them died the moment after injection and left no infection. Experiments with mon- kept and mice proved more successful. In man the progress of the disease was found to be very slow indeed, but in fish very rapid. Tbe conclusion reached was that the original habitat of the disease was fish and thSt it was" communicated originally to man by eating infected fish. The British Columbia Company * LIMITED.

New Knox Hotel ARTAUD & BESNER Proprietors For Sale The Prince Rupert of the Grand Trunk Pacific fleet, the favorite vessel in this port, has again resumed her run after a general overhauling. It was generally believed that she bad been fitted up with oil burners but this proves to have been Incor-, rect. The Prince Rupert still uses i coal as her fuel. There have been J some changes made In her which better fits the vessel for Its service on the coast and the officers are very p.roud of the vessel. That she is in fine shape with respect to the engine rooms is shown by the fact that orders to go on tlie run were not received by her officers until noon of the day she sailed from Victoria. The equipment was put in order on short, notice and supplies taken on, and she sailed on schedule time. HERRING CATCH Reports from Nanalmo state that the herring fishing this seastn has been so poor that many fishermen will finish in debt, while others will barely make expenses. It is said that never in the history of the industry lias there been so disastrous a season. Approximately 7,000 tons of herring were caught and cured there this season against 28,000 tons last year and the season was almost six weeks behind that of last year. Although appearing in big schools in the Gulf of Georgia near Departure Bay more than a month ago, tho fish did not enter the harbor until two weeks later and (then only small catches were reported. Fishermen attribute their bad luck to the great depth at which the herring schooled. When the fish finally entered Departure Bay and Pender Harbor from the Gulf of Georgia, they swam beneath the nets. One fisherman, who was engaged in the herring industry for more than ten years attributes the poor run and the depth at which the fish were found to the increasing number of gasoline launches continuously cruising on Departure Bay and Pender Harbor. These noisy little boats, it is said, frighten the fish into deeper water beyond the reach of the seines. Others attribute the small catch to the decrease In the number of whales. Whales feed upon herring, and during the fishing season, it Is said, drive large schools of the little fish into shallow harbors, where the big leviathans will not venture. Prices imaged from $1.50 to $1.65 for herring brought to the curing establishments this season. This is a slight increase over last season's market figures. After the fish are salted and cured they are shipped to Seattle and Tacoma and transferred to outbound liners for the Orient where the product finds a ready market.

PRINCE RUPERT JOURNAL Friday, March 10, 1911 IN THE OMINECA Active Work Will be Carried on by Various Companies This Summer Some of the Corporations That Will Operate in Testing the Ground Reference has from time to time been made in these columns to the opening up of the Omineca placer and hydraulic operations as a result of the building of the Grand Trunk Pacific and the Improved means of communication. A short time ago The Journal referred to the parties going in there this summer. The Omineca Herald has further particulars, and says: After a long period of comparative inactivity, it Is now certain that the Omineca placers, which in years gone by produced a large amount of gold annually, and first drew atten tion to the mineral resources of this district, will soon resume a position among the large producing camps. A number of companies and syndicates composed of coast capitalists have been recently formed to acquire and work hydraulic ground in the Omineca, and the representatives of at least three of these concerns are on their way to Hazelton, with the intention of beginning operations as soon as possible. The first outfit to begin work will be the Huderle-Otterson Company, of Seattle. A party consisting of the Manager, George W. Otterson, M. I. M. E., a cook, and five miners, left today for Manson creek, where the company has acquired one and a half miles of hydraulic ground which is expected to yield big profits. The party, augmented by Indian miners who will be picked up enroute, will at once begin preliminary work, and Mr. Otterson expects to have everything in readiness for the opening of the mining season about June 1, so that the entire season will be productive. The company has purchased the hydraulic plant formerly used by the St. Anthony Exploration Company and E. J. Newberry, to which will be added a hydraulic elevator, which Is being taken in by toboggan. Supplies for the early part of the season will be taken over the toboggan trail, while two pack trains will be employed during the summer. John Huderle is expected to arrive In Hazelton about May 30, to take part in the management of the company, which will expend about $15,- 000 on the season's work. Mr. Otterson, who is an experienced hydraulic miner, and prominent as a mining engineer, operated in the Omineca from 1899 to 1901, and is familiar with the district and its possibilities. He states that the ground acquired by the company, as long as it could be worked by individual miners, paid $16 a day to the shovel, from which it may fairly be argued that properly directed hydraulic operationds will be highly profitable. It is the opinion of Mr. Otterson that a great deal of hy- dralulr ground in the Omineca will go at fifty cents a yard, and while much o fit cannot be worked tinder present conditions, with better transportation facilities it will yield handsome returns. Among other properties which will be worked this season is the Silver creek dredging proposition, preliminary work on which Is well under way, and the Tom creek property formerly operated by Condit Brothers and James May, which has been acquired by G. F. Knowlton, of Vancouver, who will probably take a dredge in by the Tatla lake route. The Boulder creek syndicate has prospected its ground, six miles below Huderle & Otterson, and will take in n plant this year. Pending its Installation, a ditch two and a half miles long will bo run. Tbesi outfits and others will spend considerable money during the coming season. ■ 0 ARCHBISHOP'S ESTATE CONSOLIDATED STATUTES Attorney-General Bowser Explains the Situation Before tlie Legislature Hon. Mr. Bowser, Attorney-General, with respect to the revision and consolidation of the statutes, made an explanation to the Legislature before prorogation. The members would remember, said the attorney- general, that reference had been made in his honor's speech from the throne at the session's opening to legislation which would be brought down providing for the ratification of the work In question. That work had proven, however, more formidable than at first anticipated, and it had been thought wise to give the members of tlie revising and consolidating commission a little more time. At the opening of the next session of parliament, in January next, the work would have been rompleted and reviewed, and the statutes as revised and consolidated printed and ready for distribution to the members. No hardship would be entailed by this delay. It would mean, indeed, that the consolidation would Include also the statutes of the province during the present session. The revised and codified statutes of the province would be comprised in two volumes, in addition to which there would be printed a special separate volume containing the statute laws of England, which in the opinion of the commissioners, are now applicable to this province, together with sundry acts of a semi-public nature, such as the Canadian Northern Pacific Act, the Esquimau Waterworks Company's Act, the Vancouver City Incorporation Act, and a number of others; together -with a list of all measures that have In past years been enacted by this parliament, so that htese may be made convenient for reference. Having in view all these facts it had been thought well that the legislation to ratify the consolidation should not be presented until the next session of the House; they would be ready, reviewed and printed, for the opening of that session.

USEFUL HINTS When boiling something which* boils easily, place a stick of wood across the top of the vessel, and It simply can't boll over; try it and see. Exceptionally large vessels use two sticks. If you object to the thick, hard crust on baked potatoes, put a dish of cold water In the oven when they are being baked. The moisture will do much toward keeping tlie skin of the potato soft. Bathe chilblains in very hot water , as hot as can lie borne, and rub well with paraffin and mustard and they will soon disappear. This remedy has been tried with success when other remedies failed. In making sandwiches bear in mind that, all crusts are removed with a sharp knife, and tnat butter just melled but not piping hot, can lie spread with a fine paint brush much better than firmer butter with a knife.

"The Masset Rower , MaBset, Q.C. W nt*«^% Friday, March 10, 1911 PRINCE RUPERT JOURNAL IMPORTANT DECISION Mr. Justice Cregory Gives Judgement in Liquor By-Law Case. City's Powers With Respect to Reg. illations Is Not AH Powerful That the Victoria city bylaw, the Liquor Regulation bylaw, contravenes the spirit of the Provincial Liquor Act, 1910, and that hotel and restaurant proprietors have a legal right to sell liquor with meals at any hour instead of being restricted tu certain hours a, set forth in tie iy- law was the gist of an Important dec!?: '. handed down recently by Mr. .iiistice Gregory in the supreme court. His lordship decided against the city in the appeal of J, Levy, of Levy's Restaurant, Victoria, who was arraigned in the police court on a charge of having supplied a customer with liquor with his meals between the hours of 12 o'clock in the evening and 7 o'clock in the morning. The defendant was fined by Magistrate Jay and appealed. Mr. Justice Gregory held that the bylaw had been passed in defiance of the spirit of the provincial legislation regulating the liquor traffic. His Judgment in full was as follows: "This Is an appeal by way of a case stated from a conviction of the police magistrate of the city of Victoria, who convicted Mr. Levy of having sold liquor in his restaurant between the hours of 12 o'clock on Tuesday night and 7 o'clock on Wednesday morning, the 16th of November, 1910, contrary to the pro visions of bylaw 736. "In dealing with liquor licenses and tbe right to sell liquor, the legislature has clearly distinguished between saloon licenses and hotel and restaurant licenses. The Liquor Act, 1910, section 74, authorizes the closing of saloons on Sunday, etc., but provides that those provisions of the act shall not apply to hotel and restaurant keepers supplying liquor to their guests in a dining room with bona fide meals. The liquor supplied in the present instance was supplied to a guest in the dining room and with a regular bona fide meal. The bylaw does not attempt to prohibit a similar transaction if it had taken place on Sunday. In so far as the bylaw attempts to prohibit the supplying of liquor with meals on week days it appears to me to circumvent the provisions of the Liquor Act and to be made In defiance of the spirit of the legislation in the matter of the regulation of the liquor traffic. A somewhat sim liar attempt was made on a previous occasion with reference to the clos ing of hotel bar rooms, etc. See In re Maloney, 13 B. C, 194. "I am unable to distinguish this case from the principle laid down by the full court in the Maloney case, and the suggestion of the ctiy solicitor that subsection (d) of section 74 of the Liquor Act, 1910, provides that the municipal council shall have power to make and enforce other restrictions and prohibited hours than those provided for in the Municipal Clauses Act, cannot be sustained, because that subsection is a part of section 74 which by subsection (c) it is declared shall not apply to restaurant keepers in the position herein of Mr. Levy. "Since the council has no authority under the Municipal Clauses Act by reason of the decision in re Maloney, and none under the Liquor Act by reason of the provisions of that act itself, it follows such authority, if It exists, must be derived from some other source. I know of none and none has been suggesled by counsel for the city. The- question submitted will therefore have to be answered in the affirmative, I. e., the determination of the police magistrate was erroneous in point of law." READY FOB SPRING Mining Men Arc Getting into the Interior to Be Ready for Early Operations Frank Martin passed through Kit- selas Sunday last enroute to Hazelton, where he will remain a few weeks when he will leave for his camp at the head of Bear or Susk- wa river and get everything in ship shape for an active season's development work on his property, says the Inland Colonist. Together with Messrs/ Davis and Thompson of Hazelton, he owns the Buckskin group of claims situated near the head of Bear river in the Babines, and about eighteen miles southeast of Hazelton. On this group there are two veins each two feet wide on the surface. Values received from the many samples sent out while last summer's work was being done, held their average of $25 to $26 In gold on the one vein, and around $36 in silver on the other. . Last summer he ran a drift on the one vein, values holding with every foot, and the coming summer he Will go lower down and run a second drift. The vein this work was done on is the vein from which the gold asays were obtained. This vein is a true fissure, anH cuts diagonally across the formation for a distance of 800 feet, when it intersects with the vein giving the silver assays, and which Is a contact vein, contacting with an altered granite and porphry. o EXIT A CANADIAN LEADER Premier McBride is Compared to Dick Seddon in New Zealand. Standard of Empire Makes Reference to Popularity of Local Minister NO INTERFERENCE "Now, children," said the teacher, "supposing a big fierce tiger were to sieze one of your playmates in its hunger and carry him off, what would you do?" There was no reply. Half the youngsters were wishing it was dinner time, and the other half wished for nothing more fervently than such a tiger would devote Its attenttion to teachers who asked foolish questions. "Come Thomas," she she said "Wouldn't you cry for help?" "No, mum," said Thomas promptly. "Please, mum, mother always says we should'nt never speak at mealtimes, please, mum." "Do you know what father would have done if he had caught me doing such a thing?" asked an irate father of his youthful son; and then he went on to describe the penalties that would have been inflicted. The latter did not consider the situation at all alarming, and said in a jocular manner: "You must have had a pretty bad father." This cool, sarcastic manner nettled the parent all the more, and he exclaimed: " Well, sir, I want you to distinctly understand that 1 had a better father than you'll ever have. Then he felt he had somewhat spoiled his ease, and he walked out of the room. The Standard of Empire In a late edition has a reference to Premier McBride, which shows that the first minister of British Columbia is in the public eye far beyond the confines of his native province, or even of the Dominion of Canada. It is the hope of many of his admirers in the west that Mr. McBride may return from the coronation with knighthood. The prominence he is attaining in the pol'tical world would warrant such recognition which would reflect an honor upon the province as well as upon the recipient. The Standard of Empire says: The Premier of British Columbia, the Hon. Richard McBride, has long since "arrived," to far as the life of his own beautiful Province is concerned, where his position of late has resembled that of another famous Richard in New Zealand, the late "King Dick" Seddoo. There Is no man in British Columbia who has so great a hold upon the affection and esteem of the whole populace of the Province as Premier McBride. But will British Columbia be able permanently to retain its Premier's services, within its own mountain frontiers? That is an interesting question, and one not easy to answer. In any case, Mr. McBride, young still, and full of vital energy and force, is unmistakably one of the coming men, where the Dominion as a whole is concerned. Apart from his other more important qualities, he has the personality, the air, the manner and appearance of a leader of men, of a statesman of the front rank. One feels after one's meeting with him, that here is a man who, though he has gone far already, will assuredly go much farther. He is richly endowed with the subtle quality which, for lack of a better name, is called personal magnetism. Premier McBride is a mighty traveller, so far at all events as the trails LAND PURCHASE NOTICES Skeena Land District—District of Queen Charlotte Island.

Among his journeys last year was one in which he went into the heart of the rich northern land of which Fort George is the new centre. (It will presently be rather a gateway and entrance than a centre.) Some English visitors, and the editor of the Victoria Daily Colonist accompanied the Premier ou this trip, which, for the home men in particular, proved a wonderful revelation of the beauties and the riches of the Empire's Pacific frontier. Among them was Mr. Harry Brittaln, of the Imperial Press Conference fame, and this gentleman has written a bright and interesting account of the trip, which appears, with numerous illustrations, in the new number of Pearson's Magazine.

All the children who are handicapped physically or from nervous affections are being gathered into a class where they will receive the tender care of a qualified nurse who has also been trained as a teacher. She has been making a study of the method adopted in teaching these children in Seattle, and will begin work at the Central school. DRINKING FOUNTAINS VANCOUVER—Among the innovations that will be Introduced in the schools of the city in the near future are drinking fountains. A thirst of knowledge is not the only one developed in a basketball game or a strenuous and dramatic reproduction of an Indian attack on Dead- wood Dick's coach, such as was put on with great effect by some small gentlemen in a city play ground recently. So the latest and most hygienic fountains will shortly be bubbling in all the big educational buildings. N.N. Stephens & Co. Ltd.

The work is approximately one-half of that which the city will order during this year. It is the largest contract for street paving ever called for by the city officials. The streets which will be benefitted by the large contract are Burnside road from Douglas street to Washington avenue; Bay street from Douglas to Bridge street; Douglas street from Flsguard to Pembroke street; Douglas street from Pembroke street to Hillside avenue; Douglas street from Humboldt to Superior; Pandora avenue between Douglas and Vancouver streets. BURNED IN BUILDING NANAIMO—Fire recently completely destroyed Cedar District Institute, and among tbe ruins were found the charred remains of what is supposed to have been a man. There was no possible chance to save the building, which was soon a mass of flames and quite beyond the control of the fire fighters. There was no thought at the time of any one being in tlie building, and it was only after the fire had burned out and some of those gathered around were going through the ruins that the ghastly remains of what is supposed to have been a man were found. There was no direct evidence as to who the man was, but he is supposed to have been a Norwegian who for the past few weeks has been working on a farm in the district. This man lias been missing for a couple of days and it is thought that he strayed into the institute and in some way inadvertenely set the building on fire. The remains were brought into town. The provincial police are working on the case to establish, if possible, the identity of the unfortunate man.

Reynolds, of Winnipeg, for 2,260 shares worth $225,000 of the Pacific Coast Coal Company, which has 18,000 acres of coal lands and operates two mines at South Wellington and Su- qitash, has been settled and the com pany reorganized, the interests of tlie defendants in the suit being taken over. At the reorganization meeting Mr. John P. Hartman was appointed chairman of the board; C. C. Miche- ner, Victoria, president and managing director; Mr. L. D. Wlshard, New York, vice president; Dr. Chas. C. Kimball, New York, second vice president; Mr. J. F. Mosby, New York, secretary-treasurer, and Mr. C. H. Robertson, Victoria, and Mr. R. H. Thompson, City Engineer of Seattle, directors. The company intends to double the output of the mines near Boat Harbor as soon as another mine can be opened and equipped. At Stiqiiash a complete shipping plant is to be put in. The suit compromised by this reorganization made many allegations against Arbuthnot and other defendants of conspiring to withhold the 2,250 shares from Hodgson, who secures his stock in settlement. CANNOT VOTE VICTORIA—That holders of property under agreement to purchase cannot vote at the forthcoming election for mayor and aldermen, even If they pay the taxes on the property, is the opinion of the city solicitor given at the last meeting of the city council. They cannot even vote as householders. The solicitor stated that where a man, under agreement of sale is paying the taxes on the property he is not entitled to pay, nor Is the city entitled to receive, the road tax. But by virtue of his holding under an agreement of sale he cannot vote as a property owner only the registered owner of the land is entitled to vote. This registered owners' list will be made up as of January 12. Alderman Langley pointed out that the preparation of the property owners' list is now under way and he believed there would be a large number of names of dead persons on the list as in a number of instances the registered owners have died and no change in the records has as yet been made. Sir Wilfrid Laurier laid on the table of the House of Commons last week the fourth report of the Alaska Boundary Commission, which was authorized by the Washington Convention of 1906. The report, which is signed on behal fof Canada by Mr. W. F. King, and on behalf of the United States by Mr. C. H. Tittman, states that the boundary work has been completed between Katashat Ridge and the Yukon River. A line was traced from a point forty miles north of the crossing of the Porcupine River. One hundred and fifty- seven miles of line projecting was done. The distance monumented was 146 miles and the number of monuments placed was forty-nine. A brick pincushion will prove to be a great convenience for the sewing table. Cover a clean brick with flannel or cretonne and pad the top for a pincushion. Being broad and heavy it will not be easily knocked over, and may be used to hold down paper patterns. ♦WANTED A housemaid for the Prince Rupert General Hospital, at a salary of $25 a month with room and board.
