CATCHING ROBBERS Story of the Shadowing of HcNamara Charged With Robbing Bank at New Westminster. Attempt to Puss Off Hills Proves (lie Downfall of the (Jang Which Commit led Hit' Crime The way in which McNamara, charged with being connected with the New Westminster bank robbery, was captured by the police in New York is fully told in the Times of that city.. Central Office detectives, working with the Pinkertou Detective Agency, arrested John McNamara, alia John McNab, alias John Morgan, best known throughout his criminal career as "Australian Mack," charging him with robbing the branch bank of the Bank of Montreal at New Westminster, B. C, on September 15 last, when over $375,000 in gold and negotiable currency was stolen, one of the largest single hauls ever made by burglars in North America. McNamara's arrest, according to Second Deputy Police Commissioner Dougherty, will result in the recovery of nearly all of the stolen money, very little of which is believed to have found its way into circulation. He described McNamara as the "Commissioner of Crooks." He said he was one of the "highest class' crooks known to the police. The prisoner Is of powerful build and weighs over 250 pounds. He is 49 years old, but looks no older than 3fi, He always dresses well and looks 'ike a prosperous business man. There are believed to have been five men in the gang. A clerk slept In the bank every night, but was absent on this night for the first time in bis life. He had worked over the books until after midnight on September 14. The burglars entered with pass keys, and a Chinese watchman inside was bound and gagged and tied to a post in the cellar. A hole was bored through a brick wall leading to the safe, and after plugging all holes with the bed clothes from the clerk's bed an electric wire was used to touch off a charge of nitro-glycerine by means of the detonation process, which only the "high class' burglars are supposed to know anything about. The explosion completely destroyed the safe, and yet was not heard by a policeman who stood a few yards away from the front of the bank. The burglars took their loot away in a stolen automobile and a stolen launch. It was so heavy that a a pack of bills containing $5,000 was dropped on the street. This was later found in the possession of a tramp, who was trying to spend it in the Chinese quarter in Vancouver. Another $24,000 in bills was hidden under a boardwalk and found a lew months later. With the exception of about $10,000 in gold and silver the rest of the money, over $250,000, was in negotiable bills of from $5 to $100 denominations. The number of every bill was known, and notices were sent to every bank In the world to be on the lookout for their presentation. A few days ago Police Commissioner Waldo received a telegram from Chief of Police Bradshaw of New Westminster that negotiations were under way to exchange a large part of the stolen Canadian bills for United States money In Now York City. It was not supposed for a moment, however, that. "Australian Mack" was himself in the city. Only last Friday, in fact, a supposed member of the gang was arrested in Lob Angeles, and it was assumed that "Mack" was somewhere in the west. Two months ago a man named George Hendrix accepted $1,000 in $5 bills in Buffalo and presented them to his bank for deposit. They were refused, and Hendrix received $100 as the promised 10 per cent reward for any portion of the stolen bills which would be returned. He Bald that he had accepted the money In a bet in a gambling house, and gave a description of the man who gave them. This description, according to the Plnltertons, was that of McNamara. Word came from Vancouver that a man of that description had been seen there about the time the burglary was committed. The police here, as well as the Plnkertons, were on the lookout for McNamara since that time. Since New Year's Eve six men suspected of being engaged In negotiations for exchanging the stolen money have been shadowed. Commissioner Dougherty learned that these men reported to McNamara, who kept in the background. He lived at Fort Lee, and seldom came to Broadway. The arrest was delayed, It was said at the Pinkerton office, in order to make the arrest of two others suspected In the rank robbery. Yesterday afternoon Detectives Reilly and Woolridge followed McNamara from the Fort Lee Ferry to Amsterdam Avenue and 133d Street. He met another man there, apparently by appointment. The man did nol appear anxious to talk to McNamara, however, and after a few moments of conversation the detectives approached McNamara and laid their hands on his shoulder, one on either side. "We want you," they said. "What for?" asked McNamara, backing away and showing signs of resistance. Immediately the detectives clapped their hands on their prisoners' pockjts, having received information that he would be heavily armed. He had no weapon on his person, however. "Show your warrant," shouted McNamara. The detectives had a warrant signed by Magistrate McAdoo, and McNamara then consented to go with them to police headquarters. "What do you want with me, anyhow?" the prisoner said to Commissioner Doughertyin the latter's office about an hour later. "You are wanted for burglary in New Westminster," replied the commissioner. "Oh, is that all," said McNamara, smiling. "I thought it was for some more serious charge." He had in his possession $1,100 in American money, none of which, it was admitted, was a part of the stolen money. The prisoner admitted, according to the commissioner, that he had lived In the Strand Hotel in Vancouver some time last year. "This prisoner," said Mr. Dougherty, "is the one we have been looking for. He used to be the proprietor of the Turtle, situated at the entrance of Golden Gate Park, in San Francisco; also of the Log Cabin Cafe, two noted resorts. He has been arrested a number of times in various parts of the United States, and his number in our gallery is 5,414. "On May 7, 1897, he was arrested in this city on the charge of burglary. On September 1(4, 1S99, he was arrested in Boston, charged with being a pickpocket and burglar. On July 7, 1900, he was arrested in Cleveland. On December 2, 1900, he was arrested in Louisville while acting suspiciously in the Insurance Bank, with Herman Diehm and George Carson, bank sneak thieves. In McNamara's possession were BADLY MUTILATED COAL MINE STRIKE Miner Killed by Premature Explosion Decision Reached by the Colliery Workers by Prying Lid of Box of in Ballot Taken on the Caps.

Nearly a Million Men Are Affected by the Situation Which Has Been Produced London, Jan. 18.—The vote taken by the coal miners shows a large majority In favor of the strike, and a notice to quit work March 1 will be issued. The vole stood four to one in favor of a strike. About 900,000 men aie affected. Willi SO per cent of the men voting for a walkout on March 1 unless their demands for a minimum wage scale are granted by the Cardiff colliery operators, the British government is alarmed over the prospect. Should no agreement be reached when the miners meet the operators here on January 23 and the men carry out their threat to strike, the English navy would be practically helpless. At present the supply of coal on hand will hardly last England a month and a coal famine is certain to follow a strike. The operators are unable to fill commercial orders, declaring that the present supply is barely sufficient to meet the demands of the navy.

All members are asked to be present. o A WISE INSPECTORATE Greater Revenue From Succession Duties Marks Change of Policy There is at present being collected a much greater revenue from estates than in the past, thanks to the government in having appointed an inspector of trust companies. Upton Runnalls, In addition to his other work, looks after the collection of succession duties, and the public ac- iounts just published show the value of his office to the province in this respect. The revenue from succession duties In 1909 was $8,791.41, in 1910 $21,169.91, and for the year just closed $(14,057.30. There is DOW being collected a much larger revenue due the province from large estates of which it was formerly derived through (lie under-estinialimi of estates values. This is due to the principle Introduced by Mr. Runnalls, who, when anything oilier than a reasonably true value is put In, tins the matter referred to an. Independent and competent board of valuators. The inspectorate has now been In force for two years, J. A. Young of Vancouver, representing the Cary Safe, is spending a week in the city.

He was sure they would keenly resent any such preference on behalf of the Americans, for they had naturally been expecting further substantial development in their far eastern trade when the canal was ready to receive shipping. Canadians, he said, desired perfect freedom of navigation to and from Pacific ports of the Dominion. CONSTAHLE'S RISK Conveys Prisoner "In Ilond" Through Foreign Territory A man of resource and originality is Chief Constable Docksteader of the provincial police, whose district is in the Boundary, and who recently accomplished the arrest of the prisoner Alexander, who is now appearing in a Spokane court on proceedings for extradition to British Columbia to face trial for the stealing of $475 from Gorman West. Alexander was arrested "across the line" and It was necessary to deliver him at Spokane as expeditiously as possible. The chief constable had the aldernative of an eighty mile stage trip of considerable dlffieulty and offering many opportunities for the prisoners' escape, or taking a train to Spokane direct—the line, however, leading through a neck of Canadian territory. upon which Alexander might take it into li is head to defeat justice by declaring himself no longer under the jurisdiction of the officers having him In charge. Mr. Docksteader solved the problem. He had the American officer, the prisoner and himself sealed up in a chartered freight car, and thus they went through "foreign territory" in bond—and the situation was saved! AGAINST FINDING OF COURT Vancouver Shipmasters consider Sum- (tension of Master of Venture Was Injustice The Shipmasters' Association at Vancouver is taking up the finding of the tnarin court, which suspended Captain Morehouse of the steamer Venture for six months because of the stranding of the Boscowltz steamer at Pender Rocks.

Be sure that it is right, then don't wait. The owners talte a chance with you. They put up the coal lands and you put up the money to prove the coal, one-half of the stock for you, and one-half for them. This is one of the fairest and best offers ever made to the public under ironclad conditions. A business proposition from start to finish, there Is nothing on the market like it. Leases and Crown grants to over 3.500 acres of the best coal lands on Queen Charlotte Islands are being conveyed free from all encumbrances to the Northern Anthracite Collieries, Ltd., capital stock 1,600,000 shares, par value of $1.00 each; one-half of this stock for the treasury and one-half for the owners of the land. The first 100,000 of these shares of par value of $1.00 each, non-assessable and fully paid up, are to be sold at 15c, 5c with application, 5c in 30 days and 5c in 60 days. The proceeds from this block of stock will be used proving these coal lands with a Diamond Drill under special contract, and In charge of competent management. It is expected that the proceeds from this first block of stock will be sufficient to put down at least three or more boreholes of 1,000 feet each. This will undoubtedly cut one or two seams of splendid coal—then see your stock jump. Satisfactory tenders have been accepted and a contract let to the Diamond Drill Contracting Company of Spokane, Wash., for the boring and drilling operations. As an emergency, and to be absolutely on the safe side, a further block of 100,000 shares of treasury stock will be offered at 25c per share, 5c on application and 5c per month until paid, as soon as the first block has all been subscribed. Now, use your own judgment, but consider carefully what your chances are of making $85.00 on an investment of $15.00 in six months, or $1,000 on an investment of $150.00, for as sure as the sun rises and sets this stock will go to $1.00 at least as soon as the drill cuts through the seams of splendid coal that are surely there, according to all experts' reports of the highest obtainable authority, who have reported on the Queen Charlotte Islands coal measures as follows: T. R. Marshall, P.C.S., 1902; Dr. George M. Dawson, D. S., A.R.A.R.S.M., F.G.S., 1STS; II. E. Parrish, John J. Langdale, 1867; James Deans, 1872; James Parkinson, 1888"; R. W. Ellis, 1906; T. B. Cory, of the State of Washington, U. S. A., and our own expert, C. F. J. Galloway, B.Sc, who is among the best authorities In B. C. These reports cover first the Wilson-Robinson coal fields, three miles north of this coal land; second, the Old Cowgate coal fields, almost adjoining on the west; third, the Alfred Bay coal fields on the south; and fourth, the company's own coal, all of which are positive evidence that this is one of the best coal fields on the Queen Charlotte Islands. Situate on Graham Island, Bearskin Bay, one of the best harbors in the north, at the gateway of transportation to all points of the world, and at the very doors of Queen Charlotte City; in fact, a portion of this coal underlies the townsite. No railroads to build—just lead the coal from the mines to the boats. These are facts that defy "contradiction, and within five days the Diamond Drill will be on the ground and in operation. This is the only way anyone can tell how many millions of tons of coal there is in the property. All applications will be filed in order received, and only 100,000 will be sold at 16c. How many times in your life have you had a chance like this? A square deal for once at least in a stock proposition, with almost a certainty of the stock being worth $1.00 before you have made your third payment at 15c. Do not hesitate. Send in your application today. For further information call or write to the head office of the company, 506 Pacific Building, where the report of C. F.J. Galloway, B.S.C., on this coal land can be seen. His report is all that could be asked, practically saying that the coal is there beyond a doubt, with sufficient evidence in sight to warrant drilling and development work at once. Paragraph From Mr. Galloways Report "The easiest seam to prove will be the Cowgitz, as its horizon is known. I should, therefore, recommend you to put down a borehole near the eastern end of your easternmost section. At the point marked C on the map the position of this seam should be passed through at a depth of about 500 feet, the Camp Anthracite scam being probably passed through In the same hole, if it occurs at all in this locality." All promoters' stock is to be pooled until $200,000 has been raised for the purpose of developing the mine. In conclusion, you will have the satisfaction of knowing that your money is all goinng into proving the coal is there, not into the promoters' pockets nor to pay for a dead horse of any kind, as the coal leases and titles are all paid for and clear of all encumbrances and will always be a valuable asset. Fill out the application form for any number of shares you want and address your application to H. F. McRae & Co., Second Avenue, Prince Rupert, who are the authorized agents to receive applications and receipt for same. All cheques or money orders should be made out to them. You are requested to make any enquiries not answered in this advertisement, which will receive a prompt answer. The solicitors for all concerned are Burns & Walkem, 415 Winch Building, Vancouver, B.

PUBLIC OWNERSHIP New York Times Gives its Views on Subject Following Action of British Government. It Is Pointed Out That in Taking Over Telephone System Injustice .■May He Done Taxpayers The New York Times, dealing with the course of the British governnienl in taking over the telephone system of the United Kingdom, puis up an argument against the system of public ownership which Is Interesting in this city at the present time. The Times says: The United Spates has developed an unrivalled telephone service bj a'lowing generous profits lo a pri vate company. On New Year's Day England began the experiment of developing its telephone system by government, that is to say by tax money. It cannot be said that the start is fair ,1'or the British government on Monday took over an inferior and deteriorating service under a contract of long standing. Ever since tlie contract was .nail.! the private company lias barely maintained the plant which was to become the property of its successor, and the consequence was that London has not been well served. In fact, the telephone service of England lias been so bad that the telegraph lines were used almost necessarily, and at a rate of toll which has run up a teli graph deficit nearly enough to pay a 6 per cent dividend on our Western Union Telegraph Company's stock. To this loss it will now be necessary to add a prospective similar loss to the telephones, with an allowance for the betterment of the plant on a national scale. The German budget for telephone appropriation has ranged from twenty-five million marks to almost double that in recent years, and the allowance is Inadequate, although all that it was possible to .nclude i" the budget with its frequent debits and bond issues to balance. The significance of these comparisons between public and private telephones is in the fact thai the future prosperity of both telegraphs and telephones lives in Intens've development, that Is In developing the patronage of the groat public by servile both cheap and excellent. Hon' this problem is being attacked with great intelligence and ability by private capital, at its sole risk and in the hope of profit. The cable service of the world has been revolutionized by the same management's initiative, supported by British cp- opei at Ion, and Intel continental communication has been cheapened marvellously in the same manner that the " British telephone service must be developed. London, for example, has about one-quartei of the telephone service it ought to have according to New York practice, or one-half in comparison with Berlin. Government services are never developed out of profits. There Is no reason why they should be, when ii is so easy to lay a lax. The pay ment of the tax is another matter, and it will be interesting to remark just where the reluctance to endure taxes and the rebellion against bad telephone service will balance. Since 1900, that is to say since the beginning of England's socialist excursion, consols have fallen say fifteen points, corresponding to a loss of credit of half a billion dollars. Even in England it is beginning to lie asked where Ibis will end. It will end all the sooner if this telephone experiment takes the course of the telegraph experiment. Cheap telegraphy was demanded by parliament on behalf of constituents, and the sixpenny rate was established, with a deficit as noted. As a commercial enterprise the British telegraphs are not stable. The telephones start with large capital necessities, anil wiib the prospeel that Hie demand for accommodations will repeal the telegraph experience. However, the British postmastei general makes as good ;i start as possible by having sent over his experts to sttldy the American service, which osl the public nothing cm ept rates higher than the English rates I'm- Hi.' Inferior serviie. It is plain that these rates fall « hei e ti den or the service should full. Unit :.; iii! the imeis of Hi" service. TJie pro : I aci v'n ■ and cheaper s.-, .

"It is the most interesting place in the world for the student of the Bible," the professor said. "I have been there three times already, and I never will tire of going. There are in the monasteries there thousands of Greek manuscripts, and hundreds of them are connected with the New Testament. Hundred of students have studied these manuscripts very carefully, but there are other manuscripts that have not yet been read carefully. It may be that great discoveries, valuable to the Bible scientists will emanate yet from this great storehouse of manuscripts." o ANTHRACITE DEPOSITS Geological Survey Reference to Coal Discoveries on Ground Hog Mountain LAND POLICY The opposition to Hie Meliride government here, in common with tne opposition elsewhere, is attempting lo stir up a feeling against the government on the question of its land policy in the province. For a long time opponents of the government of B. C. have made this a ground for opposition when nothing else can be found against which to aim attacks upon the McBrlde administration, but their attacks have been unavailing. No one pretends that, the policy with respent to land in British Columbia is perfect. It is the growth of a system which dates back many years, when land was of very small value in this province and when mineral claims held first place in the thoughts of the legislators as well as the other residents of the province. To change a system of land holding is not an easy matter. The Mc- Bride government had to take things up as they found them and make the best of them. There is constantly a loi of talk against abuses that may have crept in, but the government cannot repudiate ail' that has been done in the past and begin anew. TItales of various kinds already in existence and gained through the Acts in force when obtained have to he respected. Tlie provincial government, through its land department, is endeavoring to work changes thai will best serve the interests of the province without upsetting what has a'ready been done. The settlers in i.i i ish Columbia are well looked after in many ways. They are practically exempt in the earlier years from taxation and have facilities provided them. It is impossible that hardships shall not arise in some instances but the McBrlde government is taking care to give every settler the fullest protection and all the advantages possible. A recent bulletin Issued by the Geological Survey Department, Ottawa, contains tlie following reference to coal deposits of Ground Hog .Mountain at the head of the Skeena River: Considerable interest, lias been manifested dining the past season in the Ground Hog coal basin, which lies at the head of the Skeena River. Probably 600 claims have been staked and several groups of capitalists are interested in the field. G. S. Mallock, who spent the summer investigating the southern end of the basin on behalf of the Geological Survey, furnishes the following notes on this new coalfield: The (oal measures so far as known have a north westward extent of at least, seventy miles, and a width at the southern end of thirty miles. The sediments have a thickness of upwards of 3,000 feet, but contain coal in commercial quantities near the top and bottom only, though there are a few thin seams In the intermediate beds, the upper horizon contains seven seams with thickness varying from two to six feet and so far as is known, is limited to an area of twenty square miles. The lower horizon contains at least three seams four to six feet thick and extends over most of the area occupied by tlie coal measures. The coal is antiracilo In chiirai ter, Some of the seams are high in ash, but from one of them some excellent analyses have been obtained. Tl e basin is fau'ted considerably and there are numerous local flexures associated with the faults. The development of a coalfield of this character near tlie Pacific Coast would be of great importance to ■ British Columbia. It lies about ninety miles along a possible route I for a railway, and about one hundred and fifty miles from llazelton on the Grand Trunk Pacific. SAFETY AT SEA Official Report on U. S.

Prof, Caspar Rene Gregory, theologian of Biblical manuscripts, has described this unique district. "The place is Mount Mhos, classic peninsula of Akte, tlie easternmost of three little peninsulas below M edonia," Professor Gregory explained, "li is called the Mount of the Twenty Monasteries and was ised In .iin lenl times as a signalling Btatlon tn Asia Minor. Ii is a vast republic. There arc ten thousand monks there, who g in themsolves without Interference from Turkey or any other country, There are, however, no governmenl buildings, no president or other office holders. i lie only police force is composed of men who patrol Hie coasl to keep out. women and men who have no penult to enter I his most exclusive of countries. Only those who have a letter of permission from the Greek Patriarch in Constantinople are allowed lo enter the holy ]ilace. The holder of this letter must present it to Karges, the village capital of the peninsula." Some reports have it thai this republic was formed in the ninth century. It. is said that Ihe foot of a woman has never touched the soil of the place for centuries. All the monks represent the Greek Catholic Church. They work the soil, but live chiefly from contributions from pilgrims. Probably the greatest col- Voii can't convince Ihe glazier that the people who live in glass houses shouldii i throw stones. There were forty-eight accidents in which 392 lives were lost, out of 314,768,885 passengers carried during the year ended June 30, on steam vessels required by law to report the number of passengers to the supervising Inspector general of the steamboat inspection service, Department of Commerce and Labor. , Of the whole number lost, 113 were from accidents incident to the perils of navigation, and forty-eight were from suicide and other couses beyond the power of the service to avert, leaving 231 which can be charged fairly to accident, collision or foundering. This means that 802(981 passengers were carried for j each life lost, whether of passengers or crew, and from all causes. classified according to causes, the accidents and deaths arc distributed as follows: Fire, 7 accidents, 10 deaths; collisions, 19 accidents, 4(1 deaths; explosions or accidental es- of Bteani, 11 accidents, 12 ;deaths; snags, wrecks and sinking. II accidents, 114 dea'hs; .accidental drowning 111; miscellaneous, 09. The 'oss of life was due largely to the following disasters: . ():: September :i, 1910, the steamship Pere Marquette No. IS, from l.udinglon, Mich., bound for Milwaukee, Wis., with twenty-nine loaded cars, sank from some unknown cause. Twenty-seven lives.were lost, many being killed by the sea and floating wreckage. On October 10, 1910, the steamship Arkadia sailed from New Orleans, La., for San Juan, P. R., carrying four passengers and thirty- three crew. The Arkadia never was heard from again and is supposed to have foundered and all on board lost during Ihe hurricane of October 14, 1910.

At last Prince Rupert will again have an indoor baseball league Last evening a large and enthusiastic crowd of fans assembled in the police station to discuss baseball matters. Representatives from four teams were present who had already secured picked teams. The teams now in the field are the Royals, Crescents, Quill Drivers, and Morrison's. Before the end of the week at least five more teams are expected to be in the league. The four teams already formed have as their captains and managers the following: Quill Drivers, Evans and Vance; Crescents, Devitt( captain); Royal Blues, Ramsay and Corley; Morrison's, Morrison (cap- fain and manager). Nelson Dunn was appointed to act as umpire.. The other teams arc expected to be formed at. once. Next Thursday evening another meeting will be held at the police station, at which time a schedule will be made out. The series will start the first week in February. MARATHON RECORDS According to some sporting notes from Tokio, Japan, the athletic authorities there have already started with their Iryouts for the Olympic games. Like the other nations, they are not going to wait until the last minute to see the class of material they have got, but are taking time by the forelock. The first event to be tried by the Japs was the Marathon, and It is said that a string of nearly 400 went over the full classic distance of 26 miles 385 yards. In the account giving the description of the race the name of the winner is carefully omitted, but that makes no difference anyway, for even if it were given only a small percentage of the world would know how to get their tongues around the proper pro- nounciation. What the account did not fail to mention was that the winner beat the record by eleven minutes. As there is a wide range and classification of Marathan records it is Impossible to know which one the Jap flier bowled over. Since the Olympic revival there have been five big Marathons, that those in connection with the Olympic games. The best time made so far is 2.51:23 3-6, and this was made on the original course from the village of Marathon to the stadium at. Athens in 1906. The runner was Sherring of Canada, and had not the day been so warm and the roads so fearfully dusty he would surely have run much faster. For the Jap to run 11 minutes faster than Slier- ring's mark is a highly meritorious feat, and If he should repeat it at Stockholm he would need some watching. On the books the fastest time for the classic, distance by an amateur is 2.36:26 1-5, by Matt Maloney on December 26, 1908, and It is noteworthy as being the world's best mark. OPENING FOOTBALL The first round of the British Football Association Cup series was played last Saturday, attracting the usual big crowds and providing customary surprises. Of these the most outstanding feature was the defeat of the league champions, Newcastle United, by Derby County, a second division eleven, by the big margin of three goals to nil. Of the first division teams which clashed, West Bromwich Albion beat Tottenham Hotspur, while Middlebrouogh and Sheffield Wednesday drew. Manchester City beat Preston North End and Bollon Wanderers bent Woolwich Arsenal. Sheffield United wore beaten by Chelsea, and Hie cup hollies.

BIDDING FOR PLAYERS Bidding has commenced for lacrosse players in Canada, with Con Jones trying to outbid the Big Four Union magnates, and eastern men are doing their best to land the best talent in the game. Not satisfied with securing Fitzgerald, Spring and Len Turnbull from the British Columbia Lacrosse League, Torontos are now after Gibbons, a Vancouver goaltender, and expects to land him shortly. Another Vancouver home player is also said to be coming east. Torontos offered Cory Hess $1,200, while Fitzgerald is said to have been offered $1,500. With Con Jones aroused, when he finds that the eastern clubs are getting after him in earnest, there is no telling how high he will go. At the Big Four meeting in Toronto on January 25 it is probable that the learn limit will be raised to twenty men. This means that the clubs will actually carry that number and will prevent teams from reserving players of ability whom they cannot use. TEACHERS' RESOLUTIONS Conclusion Readied nt Annual convention Held in New Westminster At the recent convention of the Coast Teachers of the Province held In New Westminster the following resolutions were adopted: That all free text books he given outright to all the pupils. That the paper on nature study contain an optional question In manual training and one in domestic science. That the boards be empowered to ii.ake more liberal provision tor teachers who are unable to report for duty on account of illness. That the entrance examination in literature be (a) extensive as regards "The Lady of the Lake" or other long poems to be from time to time prescribed; and (b) intensive as to a limited number of selections from the Fourth Reader; and (c) that: the memory selections be limited and indefinitely prescribed. That Immediate steps be taken for tlie appointment of an advisory council of education as this has received the expressed approval of the minister of education, said council to have thereon representatives from the various branches of public instruction. That the texts now prescribed in our schools in Canadian History, Hygiene, Geography, are ill adapated for class room use and that Immediate steps be taken to prescribe more suitable texts in these subjects. That the High School entrance be further curtailed by the omission of partial payments, present worth and true discount. That history and geography be restored to the High School curriculum and the course in history to include a general sketch of ancient, medieval and modern history British and Canadian constitutional questions to receive special attention. That pupils on entrance examinations be given distinguishing numbers, as is done in the High School examinations. These numbers to be used on their papers instead of names and names of schools.

HOBSON DEAD word for tie Yiar 1911 Kcde by the Various Fishing Vessels Operating in the North. Ketchikan Plant to lie Enlarged by the New English Pish Company To the steamer Kingfisher and Flamingo, fishing out of Vancouver, fell the honor of securing the most halibut lor the year lull, according io a return compiled by the New England Fisli Company of ancouver, The Kingfisher was head boat witli the Flamingo second, and they secured better catches than any of tlie vessels fishing from Seattle or Ta- coma. The year of 1911 resulted in approximately 17,000,000 pounds of fresh and frozen fish being taken, but this is smaller than the preceding year. The closing months of last year were notable for extremely bad weather and small catches, and despite the fact that fishermen worked harder and went farther north in their efforts to secure halibut, Ihe catches tell away to an alarming extent. During last year the New England Fish Company added one vessel to its fleet, the Prospector, fishing from Seattle, and the company's Canadian branch, the Canadian Fishing Company Limited, completed the largest fish freezing and fish storage plant on the continent, without exception. Within a few days a start will be made on the construction of a smoke plant attached to the freezing plant at the Terminal City. The catch during the last three months has been the poorest on record, and it has been decided to tie up the Kingfisntsi and New England for the winter until March. This is the first time that any of the boats have been obliged to lay up owing to the bad weather and small takes. It is intended to fish the Prospector and the Manhattan out of Ketchikan and ship the catches to Vancouver and Seattle, and operate the Flamingo and Celestial Empire out of Vancouver. The Flamingo is now at Esquimau, completing repairs, and will probably proceed to Vancouver. A. L. Hager, manager of the company, intends to go east in two weeks to complete arrangements for the improvements contemplated this year, which includes an increase in the fleet, and to increase the size of the Ketchikan plant to four times its present extent.

The Deceased Was a .Man of Very Large Interests and Has Done Much to Develop Cariboo The deatli has taken place at the family residence, "Gisburn," 1300 Rockland Avenue, Victoria, of John B. Hobson, one of the best known mining men in the province. He had been in failing, health for some time, and only recently ret::: tied from California, where he had been on a trip for liis health. He was 07 years of age, and a native of Dublin, Ireland. Mr. Hobson had been associated with gold mining on the Pacific The laie J. I). Hobson Slope for many years, and after being interested In the industry in California, he became attracted to the Cariboo, and several years ago organized the Consolidated Hydraulic Mining Company at Bullion. Quesnel Forks, of which he was manager. This led after a few years to tlie Guggenheim interests becoming attracted to the Cariboo to take part in the claims owned by the company of which they secured control. After spending a large amount of money the New Y'ork capitalists ceased to take further interest in the properties, but meanwhile Mr. Hobson turned to develop some leases he had in the district, and in 1310 he brought in water to hydraulic his new gravel interests, and last year he was operating them when he had to leave on account of failing health. In 19 02 he took a very active share in forming the Provincial Mining Association, the first convention of which body was held in Victoria in February, 1903, and ne held the office of president till it went out of existence three years later. He was very active at Ihe time in the agitation for crown grants for placer mining leases.

A. Kidman of Sydney Fears Australia Will lose Canadian Market for Frozen Meat and Butter That the frozen meat and butter trade between Australia and Canada and the United States is gradually slipping away from the Commonwealth and going to New Zealand Instead, owing to the fact that the latter now has first call on the refrigerated space in the mail steamers and enjoys a tariff advantage over Australia of one cent per pound on both meat and butter under a reciprocal agreement, is the statement made in Sydney, Australia, by Arthur Kidman, who has helped in building up the frozen meat and butter trade between the countries mentioned above. "I have travelled through Canada and America to London almost yearly for the past twelve years,'' he said, "and have taken a very keen interest in trade relations between Canada and Australia, also the United States, and 1 can claim to have pioneered tlie frozen meat and butter trade between these countries. There are now several other shippers besides myself. Whilst travelling through Ottawa on several occasions 1 always interviewed T. C. O'Hara (deputy minister of trade and commerce), who has continually expressed his keen disappointment at Australia's disinclination to appreciate Canada'! overtures for a reciprocal tarlf arrangement. I think our previous governments have been perfectly justified in refusing to grant Canada a reciprocal tariff, for the reason that our exports to them were insignificant as compared with our imports from their country, but during the past two or three years trade relations have considerably changed, and our exports to and our imports from Canada have appreciably Increased. The time has arrived when our government should take a decided step in the interests of Australian shippers, with a view of making some satisfactory tariff arrangement with Canada. "It is undoubtedly a fact that Australia is most advantageously placed for the purpose of acting as food suppliers to the west coasts of Canada and America, also interior points, and providing a substantial reduction of their duty took place, our exports of food products—frozen meat, butter, canned meats, onions, potatoes, fresh fruits, etc., but particularly the three former, would decidedly show a rapid increase. "The Australian shipper's position has been becoming more seriously jeopardized day by day through the absence of a reciprocal arrangement with Canada, and also of some recognized Australian steamship service. Frozen meat and frozen butter from New Zealand enter Canada at a halfpenny per pound less than meat and butter from Australia, and all other food products, etc., have a similar advantage. It. is, therefore, obvious to anyone, on this account alone, that New Zealand must now get the Canadian business. "The frozen meat and butter trade, also the trade in other food products, has been pioneer and exclusively built up by Australia, and the relinquishing of the Canadian-Australian service without previously having arranged a reciprocal agreement with Canada, has resulted in the Canadian-Australian trade being handed over almost in its entirety ready-made and firmly established in New Zealand, who hitherto have taken no part in tl]e pioneering work or the establishing of this trade."

This interesting fact to the consumers of Canada is furnished by statistics from the Labor Department. The department index number of wholesale prices stood at 130.S In November, as compared with 130.5 in Ihe preceding month, and 122 in the corresponding month of last year. The numbers are percentages in each case of the average price level prevailing during the decade, 1890-1899, the period selected by the department as the standard of comparison throughout its Investigation Into wholesale prices. Over two hundred articles carefully selected by the department, so as to represent Canadian production and consumption, are included in the calculation. Wholesale prices In the aggregate are on practically the same level as In the preceding month, but are considerably higher than at, the same period In 19in. Tlie chief Increases during tho past year contributing lo the result occurred In grains and fodders, miscellaneous foods and metals, there having been a decrease in animals and meats, while the other groups for the most part have remained steady. A rise in grain prices and a fall in meals were also features of the past month. As compared wilh November of last year, eight groups of commodities show a decrease, while ten groups show an Increase. The groups which show a decrease. together with that decrease as based on the standard, are as follows: Animals and meats, from 157.8 in 1910 to 137.8 in 1911; fresh meats, from 156.0 to 152.S; texti'es, from 119.5 to 111.9; fuel and lighting, from 100.2 to 95.8; miscellaneous lumber materials, from 106.3 to 96.3; paints, oils, etc., from 162.3 to 152.0; drugs and chemicals, from 108.5 to 107.0; furs, from 285.9 to 255.2. Only two groups have during recent years dropped to below the standard, while one group, furs, has gone far above it. The groups which show an increase for November of this year, as compared with November of last, are as follows: Grains and fodders, from 129.9 to 165.2; dairy produce, from 148.2 to 149.3; miscellaneous foods, from 112.1 to 125.5; hides, leathers and boots, from 134.0 to 141,9; metals, from 106.7 to 116.7; implements, from 105.1 to 106.1; lumber, from 161.S to 162.2; house furnishings, from l 07,4 to 111.1; liquors and tobaccos, from I 17.1 to 122.0; sundries, from 108.8 to 110.8; average for November of this year, 130; November of last year, 122.0. The problem of the steady Increase 'in the cost of living during the past I few years, which has borne most heavily on the salary earning classes, is one of the vital elements which must enter into the deliberations of the tariff commission to be established dining the present session of Parliament.

PRINCE RUPERT JOURNAL M. M. STEPHENS MEETS VILE ACCUSATIONS To Uie Editor of The Prince Rupert Journal, City. Dear Sir:—For some time past the people of Prince Rupert have been Heated to sensational rumors of graft in certain administrative bodies of tills city, including the Hoard of Police Commissioners. These reports have not been confined to reports on the street comers alone, but have been aired in the editorial columns of an evening paper, with a similar editorial insinuation in Ihe other evening paper today, So far as (he rumors of graft nie concerned 111 the Police Board, I wish to say that they are entirely without foundation; in fact, fabrications made from whole cloth anil the production of u malicious iniml. I challenge anyone, and particularly Mayor-elect Newton, who will in u day or two be chairman of the Police Hoard and m a position to investigate, to bring proof of any graft in which I have participated as a member of the Hoard of Police Commissions, and to make it worth that gentleman's while 1 agree to deposit a marked check for $500 with any responsible person against Mayor-elect Newton's check for a like amount, Mayor-elect Newton's check to bo given to the Prince Rupert General Hospital if he cannot prove the charges, and mine to be given to tlie same institution if he can prove them to the satisfaction of the judge, said judge to be His Honor Judge Young, of this city.

SETTLER'S MAIL HAGS Aiyansh Settlement Will Get Budget in Over Snow if at All Possible That II. S. Clements is making an honest endeavor to carry out his pledges to the people of the riding that he would spare no pains to see that the postal facilities were Improved in borne out by the experience of settlers in the Naas. The government and Ihe officials on the coast, including the local postmaster, are doing their best to aid in the work. During the past summer several families have moved into the Naas country in the direction of Aiyansh. These settlers, in order to get a mail after the closing of the means of communication by way of the river, sought to have their mai' sent in overland from Kitsumkalum. Accordingly, one of their num- ■ Wr who was coming out that way undertook to get tlie mail in and arrangements were made to ship the bags to Kitsumkalum awaiting the arrival of the settler who was to carry them to his neighbor. But a change In the plans of the settler left his fellow homesteaders in the Naas Valley without tlhe chance of getting the mail and the sacks lay at Kitsumkalum. Communicating with the local Conservative executive, however, soon set the machinery in motion, andVMr. Clements was at once informed of the situation. No time was lost by the member, who at once took tlie matter up with the post office officials, and since that time there has been a series of messages passing covering the department at Ottawa, tlie Vancouver office, the Prince Rupert post office and Kitsumkalum and the mail is to be got in. The Aiyansh settlers as they read those letters which will go in over the Kitsumkalum Lake road and the rest of the way by the provincial government trail will probably never realize the amount of concern which those bags gave a wide circle of officials and the representative of the district. The episode, however, shows that in Mr. Clements the riding has a model member, always ready to aid any settlement, no matter how small, or any person. HOLDUP OUTRAGE No Trace of the Bandits Has Yet Been Found l>y the Police Vancouver, Jan. 16.— At LO:45 Saturday night, two aimed men held up and robbed a Grand View Street car on Venables Street, securing the contents of the collection box after shooting and wounding the conductor, William Barker. The bullet struck Barker In the head,* inflicting a scalp wound but rendering liini unconscious. The car was inbound to the city, and it believed only one passenger was aboard, a woman. The men made their escape in a motor car. They carried off the controller of the car, so it could not run. About the same flour two men entered a grocery store al the coiner of Hastings Street East and Carl Avenue and held up two clerks at the points of revolvers. They secured over $40 fr,oin the till and escaped. No trace of the bandit, who held up a street car Saturday night and shot the conductor in the head when he resisted lias been found, despite the fact that the company offered $1,000 reward. The conductor will recover. BORING FOR Oil- Six Hundred Fool Level on West Coast of Graham Island Reported to Have Been Reached (Special Correspondence) Masset, Jan. 13.—The oil plant at Tiahn Point will be again in operation in a few days. The work was stopped on account of the lack of pipe, for which Mr. Slater, the expert in charge, went to Vancouver. The bore has reached the six hundred foot level, with indications that are most favorable. With the opening of spring, there are indications that other sydicates will begin work on the property held by them. o- GROWTH OF MASSET Settlers Are Taking L'p Their Residence—Cannery to He Built at Naden Harbor (Special Correspondence) Masset, Jan. 18.—The holiday festivities are still in progress at Masset. Basket socials, dances, dinners and entertainments have been indulged in and all were well attended. The Masset Indian Band held a basket social and the proceeds amounted to $110. Dances were held nightly, and two masquerade balls. Judge Harrison entertained his friends at a social dance and dinner. Hospital at Masset Arrangements are In progress for the construction of an hospital at Masset. The Natural Resources Company contributed a block of land and subscriptions are being received by Treasurer James Martin. A building of this description is very much needed on the north end of Graham island, the only refuge for patients having blown down during a recent gale. II is understood that the government will place a sum on the estimates to assist tlie energetic committee which has been formed to take charge of the proposed hospital. New Anglican Church Ground is being cleared for the new Anglican Church at Collison Avenue, Masset. The proposed structure will be placed near the new school- house. Cannery at Naden Harbor The steamer Claxton will arrive at Masset shortly with men and material for the construction of a cannery at Naden Harbor. The building of a wharf and cannery will be proceeded with without delay, and will be under the superintendence of Mr. Wallace. Settlers Coming In Ten new settlers arrived on tlie last steamer and located at Tow Hill. This section of the island Is becoming the favorite resort for pre-einp- tors and is now occupied by a large number of Immigrants, Roads Building Work is proceeding on two roads, from the head of Masset Inlet, to tho coal mines of the Yakoun River. It is expected that two hundred men will be engaged in mining during the summer, when the roads will be completed and development work carried on. YUKON INTERESTS A. M. Treadgold on Way to London to Float Big Scheme LAND SURVEYORS MEET Officers of II. 0.

E, Cartwrights Controlling more dredging and hydraulic gold bearing ground than the Yukon Gold Company, owned by the Guggenheims, whose invasion of the Klondike he made possible, A. M. Treadgold, a well known mining operator, passed through the city yesterday, says the Vancouver News- Advertiser, on his way to London, England, to consolidate all his interests in one big corporation with a probable capitalization of about $10,000,000. This modern Monte Christo spent the past summer in the north completing deals for additional purchases and waiting for the completion of a power line which supplied electrical energy to a territory within a radius of sixty miles of the Yukon capital. His total disbursements during tlie past six months for claims and improvements are said to exceed $1,200,000. He now owns virtually all the best hydraulic ground on Dominion, Sulphur, Gold Run, Flat Creek, as well as valuable dredging leases on the Klondike River. Most of the liydraulicing area was operated In ,a crude way by placer miners in the early days of the Klondike and yielded fortunes aggregating millions of dollars. The installation of giant monitors and elevators, it is expected, will enable Mr. Treadgold's company to rework all this ground at a great profit. A programme of improvement which will take several years to get into shape has been adopted. A ditch and pipe line has already been completed. Dredges have been ordered from Dominion Creek, and will be assembled next summer in time to go into commission before tlie season. Additional expenditures include the placing of dredges on the Klondike River, as well as on several of the creeks, and will involve the expenditure of at least $2,500,000. The principal holdings are now vested in the Granville Mining Company and there with the power interests will be turned over to the new corporation now being organized with the co-operation of London capitalists. Mr. Treadwell has had a romantic and strenuous career in the Klondike since the first days of the famous gold rush. It has been his fate at various periods to 1 jtmesi fate to experience at var'ous periods a share of adversity as well as phenomenal good luck. Friends state that he is now lining up for a grand final "cleanup." lie came out over the ice last week, and although zero weather was encountered, suffered no severe hardships.

Of there the first, and most Important, is the shifting of tlie capital from Calcutta, where English viceroys have resided for many years, to the ancient Mogul city of Delhi. The precise scope of the other change is not quite clear from tlie dispatches ho far received, but it seems that the viceroy and his,council, with the consent of the British cabinet, have decided practically to undo Lord Curzon's much debated policy of the partition of Bengal, creating a new governorship for that vast province, which will reunite the Bengali speaking peoples whom Lord Curzon separated for reasons partly political and partly administrative, says the Brooklyn Eagle. Delhi can claim the most picturesque and varied history of any city in India. Afghons, Moguls, Mah- rattas, Persians and British have successfully held it. It was robbed of the georgeous Peacock Throne when Nadir Shah plundered it in the middle of the eighteenth century and carried back to Teheran fifty million dollars in gold and silver, besides jewels of incalculable value. It came into the hands of the British in 1803 when Lord Lake overthrew the Mahratta squadrons under Its walls. The brief restablishment of Indian rule during the great Mutiny of 1857 is recalled by men still living, as, also, are the Incidents of the famous siege, such as the blowing up and storming of the Kashmir Gate that cost the British more than a thousand killed, among whom was John Nicholson, one of the noblest figures in Indian history. The Delhi of today dates only from the middle of the seventeenth century, but it stands upon the ruins of older cities, some relics of which are still preserved. The moving of the capital and the establishment of a new governorship in Bengal come as a great surprise to the great majority of both parties in England. Lord Curzon, the former viceroy of India; Lord Lansdowne, leader of the Opposition in the House of Lords, and Bonar Law, leader of the Opposition in the House of Commons, have all expressed their astonishment and announced that they intend to question the government closely in regard to both changes as soon as the Durbar festivities are over. The government at home and the government In India will not, however, recede one step. The shift of the new capital and the creation of the new governorship are the results of long and careful deliberation on the part of the present Indian administration, which feels that Lord Curzon's adroitly conceived policy of playing off the Mohammedans against the Hindus has not produced the results expected of It. Whether the conciliatory attitude of the Hardlnge administration toword the Hindus, an attitude expressed in the reunion of Bengal, will tend to cure the political unrest from which violence and murder have sprung can only be conjectured. Obviously, tho Indion Office in London and Ihe Indian administration in Calcutta have high hopes. Time alone will show Whether those hopes are well founded. Pit Stay Satisfactory"fi&nge Good, Sound Reasons for MONARCH Economy Monarch Ranges are built so that they can sever have "air leaks"— For around every opening into the body there is a Malleable Iron frame to which the steel is riveted.

MR NEW BEARING METAL Krupp Makes Important Find Willi Respect to Mechanics In'the course of scientific Investigations It often happens that search for one particular thing will develop others perhaps more valuable that the actual object of the search. An instance of the sort recently occurred in the great Krupp steel works in Germany where the metallurgists, making labaortory experiments with a view to producing a special steel for automobile parts, accidentally produced an alloy of unprecedented hardness. According to the report, a thin plate of this metal resisted the fervor of the oxy-acetylene flame for several hours—for so long, in fact, that the idea at once occurred to the metallurgists that a safe made of the new alloy would resist the attentions of burglars long enough to discourage them or permit the guardians of the people to take a hand in the game. It is said that the Krupp works will use the newly found steel in the manufacture of ball bearings and other parts requiring great hardness.
