NO. 22 UNFAIR TACTICS The "News" Refused to Allow Any Answer to Its Assertions. City. Solicitor Is Not Given Opportunity to Correct Statements in Paper's Columns i k Fred Peters, K. C, city solicitor, has taken occasion to meet some legal points which the News has raised with respect to the bylaws and the voting on Saturday. As the one charged with the legal end of the business, it would seem only proper that Mr. Peters should be given an opportunity to meet any such criticism as the News made. But it is evident that the News does not desire to meet the issues fairly and give the public the whole facts as they may be presented. Accordingly, when Mr. Peters sent a letter to the News for .publication In which he met the representations put forth through the columns of the News, the letter was not published. Inquiry as to why it was not published, fought the answer that it was too Impertinent. The letter whlcie Mr. Peters sent to the News follows. It Is left to the fair minded citizens lo judge whether the city solicitor went beyond what was fair and gentlemanly in thus presenting his views, and whether the excuse offered for not publishing It was one which indicated any desire on the part of the News to be fair In the matter. Dear Sir—Owing to the position that I occupy as city solicitor 1 deem that it would be Improper for me to take any active part in any election affecting municipal mntters, but In the News of the 29th inst. there appears an article which'in my opinion should be answered by me, as I personally drew the contract in question. The article Is headed, "Property Owners Point Out Flaw In the Assessment Agreem^t." The substance of the supposed flaw Ul that It would be posslTje for the ■j 1. P. Railway to take a conveyance from the Townsite company of all property owned by the Town- site .'ompany and then to claim exemption not only for the property originally owned by the railway company but also for the property now owned by the Townsite company. I have no hesitation in saying that as a matter of law such a proposition, to put it mildly, is absolute nonsense. Anyone looking at the agreement which is set out full In the bylaw will notice that both the railway company and the Townsite company are parties, and by the very first recital in the agreement it is shown that there is a question with regard to the taxation of the lands belonging to the railway company, and there is also a recital showing that the Townsite company owns certain properties. The part of the agreement, namely Sections 11 and 12, which relate to the fixing of the amount to be taxed, clearly applies to the property mentioned in the first recital, which is the property owned by the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway at the time the agreement was made. I have no hesitation In stating in the clearest manner so that every ratepayer can have a full understanding of the matter that it is perfectly clear that a transaction such as that suggested In the News article of the 29th of August is a perfect impossibility and even If the Townsite Co. were to attempt such a thing, which Is not for a moment to be Imagined, It would be utterly futile. I venture to say that no lawyer of standing can be induced to say that any other construction than that which I now put upon the agreement Is tenable. Again, in the News of the 30th inst., it is stated in very large letters as follows, "Many Property Owners to Be Disfranchised," and In its editorial it boldly stated that every citizen of Prince Rupert who has purchased property since December, 1910, Is disfranchised, and that all those persons who havi sold their property since December, 1910, are to be voters instead. I would be greatly obliged to the News If It would inform me who was the author of this very peculiar proposition. In point of fact, this Is also a matter which comes peculiarly within my department, and I desire to say that every person who has taken the trouble to give a proper declaration to the assessor up to within five days VOTE FOR THE BY-LAWS EXPLAINED BY-LAWS (Continued on Page Eight) Tomorrow from 9 hi the forenoon until 7 In the afternoon the property owners of the city will be called upon to express their opinions with respect to two bylaws—one confirming the agreement with the G. T. P. and the other in favor of Installing a permanent water supply and in conjunction with it a hydro-electric system for city lighting and power. In the best interests of Prince Rupert these two bylaws should carry. In the case of the G. T. P. a settlement has been reached which it is admitted is the very best that could be obtained. The ratification of this bylaw by the citizens will mean that all differences between the G. T. P. and the city will be settled on the most amicable understanding and no jarring note exists to interfere with investments from the outside. At this particular moment, when in-i vestors have their eye upon the city, and when they are preparing to put money in in anticipation of the tremendous boom about the time the G. T. P. Is completed, it would be worse than folly to vote against a bylaw, the defeat of which Is bound Is leave an uncertain feeling. There should be no second thought with respect to closing up this taxation question with the G. T. P. and at the same time let the city reap in addition to these other considerations the advantages which are to follow from an aggressive policy of development by the company. What is true of the G. T. P. agreement is also in large measure true of the waterworks bylaw. It is a dangerous precedent to start In a city of voting down money bylaws to provide for absolute necessities in the city's development because there may be some little difference of opinion with respect to the members of the council or some of the details. Animosities are engendered that it may take years to overcome and which may result in the repeated defeat of bylaws which are for necessary expenditures. There are plenty of Instances on the Coast to warn the citizens against such a course. Victoria, the capital of the province, has suffered very materially in the matter of water because of the unsettling condition that has arisen as a result of fighting fractions quarreling over the self same subject of water supply. The course which is being advised in certain quarters against voting for the bylaw, that it should be turned down awaiting (he return of a new council is the most vicious of principles to introduce into municipal affairs. This is a course to be pursued only in the most extreme cases. If put into effect it will spell ruin in this city. It is sure to create friction that will result as previously stated, In the defeat of similar bylaws as often as they come up—not on their merits, but on fractional fights. The advocates of such n course at this time are not the friends of tiie city in any sense. They are the arch enemies of the best interests of the city, and property owners who look to the welfare of tlie place would do well to most carefully consider the step which they are advised to take. The fear with respect to the expenditure of the money by this or that member of the council is a false Issue to raise likewise. The money will be expended by the council as a whole. The citizens can rest assured that there Will be no disbursement of the funds so voted without the active consent of the mayor of the city, who is die executive head. In Mayor Manson the citizens wifl all be satisfied that the money will be well expended. Even the most ardent opponents of public ownership will be slow to Condemn the system of tlelng the hydro-electric system up to the water supply in this Instance. With a water system to be installed of necessity, the electric system is made possible at a much lower price than would otherwise be the case. In some respects it Is to be regarded as a "by-product" of the water supply. Whatever may be done in the matter of the main supply of power for this city, which must call for the expenditure of an immense sum of money, the system which is now proposed for the city will provide for immediate purposes and a supplementary supply to the large one for all time to come. To vote against tlie bylaws at the present time when all eyes are on the city would be a serious blow to tlie place. It would be interpreted as a lack of confidence in the city on the part of its own citizens. A vote in favor of the bylaws by Members of Council Net the Citizens of Prince Rupert in Empress Theatre. The Main Features of (he Propositions to Be Voted Upon Are Set Forth Last Tuesday evening a mass meet- a sweeping majority will indicate tolnS °f citizens was held in the Em- the outside that Prince Rupert is prepared to provide facilities for a large city; that Prince Rupert citizens are preparing for an immense city and are ready to grapple with the big questions that must be faced. Others in a position to give the facts have dealt with the issues involved as to the yearly expenditure I upon the interest and sinking fund to provide for the works, the profits to be derived from the plant and the advantages to the city. The expenditure of the money is to be made upon the advice of tlie best technical information obtainable, being put in the hands of competent electrical engineers that no bungling may be expected. The Journal feels fully justified in admonishing those who are opposing these bylaws to look to the best interests of the city, to lay aside all petty reason for opposition and to unite in voting for what will aid materially in the development of the city.

Mr. Borden was given a cordial reception, which lie acknowledged in a short address in French, following In English. He took in review the entire record of the government.

OFFICIALS ON INSPECTION TOUR President Hays and a Large Party Visit the City— Divisional Points Selected—Land Commissioner Will Proceed to Locations Next Week. This week Prince Rupert has had a large party of G. T. P. officials visiting here. The visit is one of inspection and the greater part of the party has gone on to Hazelton to see how the work is progressing there. The -company reached port on the Prlnc* Rupert on Wednesday, including A. W. Smithers of London, England, chairman of the board of directors; Charles M. Hays, president of the road; E. J. Chamberlin, vice president, and Mrs. Chamberlin; Henry Deer of London; Mr. and Mrs. Swanston of London, the later being the daughter of Mr. Smithers; Miss Jackson of London; G. W. Ry- ley, land commissioners; W. C. Davis, Passenger traffic manager; W. P. Hinton, general passenger agent; Mr. Dalrymple, Kir. Pullin, Mr. Galloway, secretary to Mr. Hays; Mr. Kinsella, secretary to Mr. Chamberlin. Capt. Nicholson, manager of the steamship service, accompanied the party from Vancouver, and Captain Gibson of theh Pacific Stevedoring Company and his daughters also came north with the party Only a short stay was made in the city by the main party as they left on Wednesday afternoon by special train for the end of the steel in company with (he general superintendent, W. C. C. Mehan, and Superintendent McNJrhol of this city. They proceeded by steamer from the end of the track, expecting to visit Hazelton and the Buroundlng district and return to the city Sunday night so as to be ready to leave Monday morning for the south. Mr. SiiiiUiei'fi was well pleased with the progress the city was making. Mr. Hays, who confirms the report that the tender for the last section of the road had been awarded, expects to see good time made on its completion. No one, he points out, is more anxious than the rail way compan to see the road finished, and a revenue producer. He. points "but that Tete Jaune Cache will be reached this winter and from there westward there is good communication in the way of waterways for carrying supplies. Mr. Ryley, the land commissioner, has remained in the city while the other officials went on to the construction work. He has business to transact with David H. Hays, the agent of the Development company here, but will make a trip as far as Aldermere after the return of the Speaking of the selection of divisional points, Mr. Ryley says the first one has been selected at Mile 118, which is several miles from Ellison. The next divisional point Is ..planned for Miles 235, which is near Aldermere, and will likely be named Aldermere. Mr. Ryley will go there on his trip to the interior and look Into the question of laying this townsite out to the best advantage. At Mile 262, Houston will be a G. T. P. town, and then at Endico, on Fraser Lake, will be another town, with a second one on the lake which has not been decided upon yet. Mr- Ryley experts that he may go as far as Houston on this trip. Speaking of Ihe sale at the divisional points on the prairies, Mr. Ryley points oul lhat In Rivers, Melville, Water, Iliggar, Wainwrlght, Tofield, Scott and Edson about $2,760,000 worth of lots have, been sold. At Mirror, a divisional point between Tofield and Calgary on a branch line a quarter of u million dollars worth of sand was sold at a recent sale. This all shows the Immense values which are being invested in the territory through which the G. T. P, is passing and which will come within touch directly of Prince Rupert In the course of the next few years. REFUSE STATION Kitsumkalum Will Not be Given What is Asked for From Railway Commission. press Theatre, when Mayor Manson and other members of the council we're given an opportunity of presenting their views on tlie bylaws to be submitted to the property owners tomorrow. The presence eif Mr. Ross, superintendent of electric lighting in Seattle, was taken advantage of to give the citizens exact information upon the technical side of the question. Mr. Ross is a Canadian by birth who has for years been at the head of the electric lighting In Seattle. He is firmly convinced as to tne wisdom of passing the bylaws from the standpoint of the public benefit. Mayor's Views His worship outlined the hindrances that had occurred before being able to bring these by'aws before the people. The history of tlie settlement with the Q, T. P. was traced together with the delay that had followed in that connection. The council had decided that it would be wiser to bring these bylaws before Ihe people together. Referring to the G. T. P. contention for a reduction in the taxation, His Worship said that an agreement was reached. Taking up the contention made in the News of that evening that the Development company might convey the lands to tlie railway company and thus avoid the regular rate of taxation he said this was untenable. If the Development company did convey them, the lands would come into the position of being affected by the mortgage to the Oominion government arising out of the guarantee of the bonds, which was not a likely thing for the company to do. Money Available With the settlement with the (J. T. P. Railway Company e'lime the assurance from the Bank of Montreal that there was to be available for the city, $1,000,000. The lands secured in fee simple to the city from the government was referred to by the mayor, who showed that the value of these, according to the assessment, was $172,270. The fact was refered to that the agreement existed for only ten years. It was a good one and one he had no hesitation In recommending to the people. Taking 10 mills as the net rate that it was expected would be the rate tills year ihe G. T. P. was getting off with a half rate of taxation. He was not there to take great credit for the construction of these terminal works, such as station houses, etc. These would have to come in the course of events but by this arrangement they would expedite tlie work.

Then and Now Mr. Pugsley's reciprocity organs appear to be deriving peculiar satisfaction from the fact that some twenty years ago the Conservative party of Canada was in favor of better trade relations with the United States. The only excuse, for reviewing events which happened in 1S91 is the foolish assertion that an attempt is being made by Conservative speakers and newspapers "to create the impression that the Conservative leaders never were in favor of reciprocal trade with the United States." No speaker or journal familiar with the political history of Canada would make such a statement. It is a matter of record, and no new discovery on the part of the Telegraph, that the electors in 1891 returned Sir John Thompson with a mandate to negotiate for better trade relations with the United States. The Telegraph itself supplies the reason why twenty years ago this mandate was given when it says "Canada was poorer and less populous in those days." The means of transportation had not developed. The time consumed in transporting goods overseas was a serious consideration. Neither interprovincial nor imperial trade had reached its present vast proportions. But the negotiations failed. The United States demanded conditions which In the opinion of tlie Conservative government of the day could not be conceded. Preferential entrance for American goods over the products of Great Britain was the price. Cau- adafcefused to accept the terms, and turned with renewed energy to develop her own resources and increase her trade with the Mother Country. Thus ended the negotiations. Has there been any occasion since for regrets? "There was a time," declared Sir Wilfrid Laurier in 1907, "when we wanted reciprocity with the United States, but our efforts and offers were put aside. We have said good-bye to that trade and we now put all our hopes upon the British trade.' Not a voice was raised against the premier when he made that statement. His declared policy in 1907 was the same as that which has guided the Conservative party since the failure of the negotiations in 1891. "No more pilgrimages to Washington" was a common ground of agreement as regards the tariff. Nothing in the campaign of 1908 was said to alter that policy. Empire trade, binding Canada ever closer to the .Mother Country and the Sister Nations, was the common goal." Suddenly, like a bolt from the blue, without mandate from the people, iu direct contravention of the premier's pledge given only last year that a tariff commission should he appointed before anything was done, we find Mr. Fielding and Mr. Paterson hooked for another pilgrimage to Washington with plenipotentiary j powers to negotiate a reciprocity! agreement which the Canadian par- Iiamenl is told must be accepted i without question eel' a single item, or ■ change in the smallest particular.! Tlie Telegraph regards the agreement "by all exlils the biggest piece of constructive legislation since tlie inau-j guratlon of the British perfence." Reciprocity with the United States' stands on an entirely different plane. It is revolutionary, tending towards continentallsm and repugnant to the national ami Imperial policy which has made Canada what she is. i The press of the United Stales almost without exception welcome it as the. forerunner of a commercial and political union, and a deadly blow at British connection. The New I York Evening Journal, discussing "what reciprocity means to America," j approaches the subject delicately, but' 1 To the Ladies of Prince Rupert Did you ever stop to think how much easier it would be for you, if at the end of each month, you could pay all household bills by check?

We look forward to the day when this whole Nortli American continent will be one great nation, as it should be. "But we do not suggest 'annexing' Canada—that would be impertinent and impossible, except as the result of conflict abhorrent to every decent man. We have in our hearts no thought of annexing Canada or of committing any national theft—but we should be very glad and very proud if one day Canada would kindly annex us. In other words, Canada, when she is ready, can step into the great, well known firm of U. S. it Co., and take her place as a full partner, and a very welcome partner. It would be like taking an admirable first class young man into a big first class firm—the transaction equally honorable to both partners. "Canada would have her own say as she now has In her own affairs —as Texas or Maine has—and she would also have her full say in the legislation and elections that control the destines of this continent.

PRINCE RUPERT JOURNAL PRESS OPINIONS RECIPROCITY IS NOT WANTED We have said that the reason wiich led one political party all the time down to 1897, and both parties occasionally, to favor reciprocity hive long ceased to exist. If this statement is contradicted by certain Liberals we appeal once more from them to their leader. The following are quotations from public declarations of Sir Wilfrid Laurier: I "If we know the hearts and minds <(f our people at present, I think I am not making too wide a statement when I say that the general feeling in Canada is not in favor of recl- jrocity. There was a time when Canadians would have given many things to obtain the American market. There was a time when the iiarket of the great cities of the tnion was the only market we had r any of our products, but, thank hkaven, these days are past and over new. We are not dependent on the Jlnerican market as we were at one tpie." Sir Wilfrid in the Canadian House Commons in 1899. "I have found, in the short experi- ce during which it has been my ivilege and my fortune to be placed the head of affairs, by the will the Canadian people that the best afd most effective way to maintain friendship with our American neighbors is to be absolutely independent oi them." |Sir Wilfrid Laurier in the House ol Commons in 1903. I "If we are to follow the laws of nittire and geography between Canada and the United States, the whole trade would flow from south to mirth, and from north to south. We have done everything possible by building canals and subsidizing railways to bring the trade from the west to east and east to west, so as to bring trade Into British channels. All this have we done, recog- ninzing the principle of the great advantage of forcing trade within the British Empire. There Is no boundary line except a purely conventional one over the territory of North America. Their habits are the same as ours and, therefore, we are in- due-ed to trade and cannot help It by the force of nature. But so far as legislation can influence trade we have-j ione everything possible to pusy Air trade towards the British pe'Ppll as against the American peopjs. '■T^iere was a time when we wanted reciprocity with the United states, but efur efforts and our offers were put aside. We have said goodbye to that trade and we now put all our hopes upon the British trade." Sir Wilfrid Laurier in the Imperial Conference, 1907.—News-Advertiser. comfortable commisslonership—if he saves his face. And— Hon.

And— Hon, Charles Murphy, secretary of state, Is In a similar fix. And— Hon. Clifford Sifton, a dissident Liberal stalwart, is to stump vigorously against his old party. And— Reciprocity, the main plank of the Liberal platform of Sir Wilfrid's campaign address—was opposed in the Commons by Liberal members, such as German, Harris and Sealy. And— The Taft-Fielding pact is opposed by many prominent Liberals in a manifesto. And— That "strong right arm" in Onl tario, Senator Sir George W. Ross, has not yet recanted his firce denunciations of reciprocity.' And— Mr. Lanctot, the man from Sorel, whom his colleagues whitewashed in the House, when his own house was painted with government paint, failed to get a nomination in Richelieu, but is in the field, anyhow; If this is an "Unbroken Front," what in the world would the lineup look like, if that unbroken front was a little bit broken? AN ANTI-RECIPROCITY LIBERAL. (Montreal.) "UNBROKEN FRONT" The following communication appeared in a recent issue of the Montreal Star: To the Editor of The Montreal Star: Sir—I am glad to see your paper "putting up" a clean, impersonal fight against reciprocity; sticking to the issue; pounding at the monstrosity known as the pact, and exposing the utterances of the American politicians, who talk about Canada—who offend our susceptibilities—who insult our patriotism—as if we could not, and would not, read their utterances, or digest or apply their arguments properly. Keep up the good work. You have hundreds and hundreds of Liberals with you. I can tell you, sir, that when politicians talk about the "unbroken front" of the Liberal party, they do not stop to recount the record; they do not mean what they say; they Impose upon the credulity and partisanship of their followers. I am a Liberal; apart from the question of reciprocity, I have supported my leaders— let me say it fronkly, through some deals that I did not like. The "unbroken front" argument does not stand the most casual examination; and In examining it, I am tempted to say I believe reciprocity Is more responsible for the present chaotic condition than any other question. It Is, therefore, revelant for me—one who has broken with his party on that question—torecount the various directions in which the Liberal party is breaking up. I repeat, I challenge the boast of the "Unbroken Front." Because Sir Allan Aylesworth, the minister of justice, has retired at the beginning of the battle. And— Hon. L. P.

FOREIGN INTERFERENCE The Ottawa Citizen, which has hitherto accorded moderate support to reciprocity, while in other respects aiding the Conservative causes, publishes a long editorial, in which it says that the New York Herald has recently established a bureau at Ottawa to boom reciprocity, and it devotes nearly a page every day to one-sided reports, booming Sir Wilfrid Laurier's reciprocity campaign in Canada, says an Ottawa despatch. "'The average Canadian," says the Citizen, "will ask himself why the New York Herald is so tremendously anxious that reciprocity should be railroaded through by Sir Wilfrid Laurier's government at the present time. Does any sane Canadian believe that this sudden interest is not based on a desire that the United States shall be advantageously affected by the result on September 21? On the contrary, while President Taft is fighting to stem the recent tide in favor of tariff revision by the Democratic party, his journalistic auxiliaries are doing their best to hurry Canada headlong Into a bad bargain. And If President Taft can succeed In committing Canada to reciprocity in the meantime, his position and that of the Republican party will be greatly strengthened. "Obviously, the prudent course for Canada is not to allow herself to be made a cat's paw by President Taft." The Boston Transcript, in its Ottawa letter, dares the Canadian people to reject the reciprocity agreement, saying that the United States would justly resent such a verdict, regarding it as a slap in the face to President Taft, and to both political parties in the United States. o DO IT IN VICTORIA Following the footsteps of Seattle, tbe beautiful city of Victoria has planned a Potlatch, which they will hold September 11 to 16 Inclusive, under the title of the "Do It ln> Victoria" Carnival. The management of the carnival writes that a special excursion has been arranged from here to Victoria during that week. Victoria plans to hold a very elaborate carnival, with all the features of entertainment and Interest that made the Seattle Potlatch so great a success. With Victoria's well known advantages and beauties the carnival committee Is by no means handicapped; in fact, there is no city In the northwest that it better situated and constituted for a successful carnival.

ROYAL BLUES WIN llnsebull Match Last Nighl Resulted in Very Close Game Friday, September l. 1911, THE BYLAW Tomorrow tlie city of Prince Rupert will vote upon tlie first bylaw involving any considerable amount of money, li is a duty which the citizens owe- to tlie place to see that the bylaw carries with a good majority. In submitting money bylaws it is impossible lo so arrange them than every out in the community will be satisfied with all tlie details. Opinions will differ to some extent as long as society is constituted as at present. That one cannot agree with every detail of the bylaws to be voted upon tomorrow is no reason why the bylaws should be defeated. The city needs water and it needs power. Tlie bylaws provide a means for getting these quickly and cheaply. They should therefore be acted upon and authority given to proceed witli as little delay as possible. The passing of tlie bylaws will nave a beneficial influence upon trade in tlie city this winter and next summer while tlie citizens are waiting lor the completion of the G. T. P. The railway company will be prepared to go on with its undertakings, wliich lias a double advantage of giving employment and also establishing confidence on the outside. The city council will award some of its contracts lor putting in water and light, which will produce a pay roll and directly affect every Hue of business in tlie city. It is a suicidal course on the part of citizens to vote against these bylaws under the prevailing conditions. W'e ask the ratepayers to carefully consider what delay means before casting a vote against the bylaws. The assurance is given in connection with tlie work that it will be administered In the most businesslike manner. One of the most competent electrical engineers to be obtained is to be given charge of the work and the money will be expended upon Ills advice, all interference by the council being withdrawn. This will ensure tlie work being done in a manner that should remove all opposition and prevent the chance of any mismanagement. From start to finish the baseball match at the rink last night was an exceedingly close one. The contesting Clubs were the Royal Blues and the Empress teams, The scores of the opposing sides kept eieise together all through the match, sometimes one being in Hie lead and sometimes tlie other, until it closed with the Empress team23 and the Royal Blues 211. .1. .1.

By removing the G. T. P.. difficulty mil of the arena of municipal politics, uncertainty will give way to stability, nml hesitating capita] will flow in freely. FRUIT PESTS '''lioiiias Cunningham Is Here Look ins; Into Conditions Affecting the Horticultural Interests Thomas Cunningham of Vancouver, inspector of fruit pests for the province, is In the city. He has come north In connection with the horticultural matters here and in the district and is making a full investigation into conditions. Mr. Cunningham is very proud of the distinction which-*the province now has of having absolutely stamped out the codling moth, which gained an entrance to the province a few years ago but has now been eradicated. Through the efforts of Mr. Cunningham in no small degree is due the credit for keeping the fruit of Britisii Columbia free of all classes of pests. o .Show the outside that Prince Hu- pcii has faith in ils city and will provide an ample water supply and an adequate electric power plant. o GARDEN OF CANADA II.

RUSHING WORK Indian Mines Being Developed Under Hie Control of George Clothier The Indian mines, in the Stewart district, which is owned largely in this city, is making a good showing and is to be developed without delay. Superintendent George Clothier reports that the main tunnel is now in a distance of 100 feet with a full face of solid ore. Day and night shifts are being worked and every effort is being strained to open up this fine property in record time.

"The new garden of Canada will be found in the Nechaco and Bulkley Valleys," said R. C. W. Lett, travelling passenger and colonization agent of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway. "I have never seen such fruits and vegetables as those grown by the pioneers in that part of the province, and in all the valleys and on the pleatues the growth of the pea vine is wonderful. Bulkley Valley in time will become the most prosperous district for mixed fanning in Western Canada. "After leaving the train at Wolf Creek, near Edson, we started westward with guides, packers and thirty horses. The first noteworthy district through which we passed was Jasper Park, the national reserve on the Alberta-British Columbia boundary. Among many natural wonders we discovered hot springs with an unvarying temperature of 127 degrees Fahrenheit, ihe hottest springs in the Canadian Rockies. "Beyond Jasper Park we approached Lake Helena, a beautiful body of water lying at the foot of Mount Robson 13,700 feet high, the grandest peak in the North Rockies. .Mount White Horn, 11,500 feet, stands beside it, fol.iiing the other half of a twin reflection in the waters of Helena. Then proceeding through Nechaco and Bulkley Valleys we reached the Skeena and Hazelton, where we deserted our pack train for tlie steamer. At one place in the Bulkley Valley I found that the black top soil was over six feet in depth, and there the wild pea- vine grew luxuriantly, providing a I fodder for horses and cattle not equalled by the most succulent I grasses of the prairies. I saw sleek- j ed cattle In the Bulkley Valley than 'any 1 have seen in the'most favored parts of Ontario or the maritime provinces. Wild strawberries and a species of huckleslieriies grow In the greatest profusion, and he had fish fruits every day.

An electrically driven sawmill and a box and door factory, representing an expenditure of half a million dollars, irrespective of the cost of the site will be erected. The site itself, which contains forty acres, was purchased at an estimated cost of about $265,- 000, the land having been procured from differeent owners of contigous properties. The plans for the proposed mill have been prepared by A. Pracna, a sawmill expert, who recently took up his residence in this city. The mill will have a capacity of about 250,000 feet daily in addition to the output of the box and door factory, and will employ between 250 and 300 hands. The company expects to have it in operation about January 1 of next year. *;. ***** * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *** | 75 x 100 Feet J | ASK For Lease on Third | f UNCLE Avenue at Ninth * * JERRY ' Street f J JEREMIAH H.

Besides prospecting for coal, of which [the company has now twenty-six j seams opened up, ranging from four I to thirty feet in width, he has tested various seams of fire clays and hard blue Biliclous rock. It has been found j that the clays contain too much iron I to* withstand the highest temperatures without fluxing, but the flints make a first class fire brick. Most 'of the fire brick we get is made of a similar flint, mixed with more plastic clay to assist In moulding and handling when green. Mr. Todhunter is certain that various seams of high grade silicious rocks abound in this district and that the time is not far distant when first class fire brick will be manufactured in this district. Mr. Todhunter has had considerable experience in the fire brick business and will be glad to furnish particulars of possibilities In lhat line to any Interested parties.

Women's Rights * •*•••*••**•*-** *"*•-**■******•* Forty-two buxom lassies from Lancashire jumped merrily out of a Northern express arriving early yesterday afternoon at Elision Station, says the London Standard. They were all pit-brow girls, and they had come to London as a deputation to their home secretary to protest against their means of livelihood heing taken away from them. If Sir Arthur .Markham's amendment to the employment douses of the Coal Mines Bill becomes law—and it lias been carried in ccjmmittee—these these healty, vigorous young women from Wigan and the suroiinding colliery districts and 5,000 more of fSeir sisters will lose what they evidently consider to be pleasant and profitable employment, for there will be no more work for girls at the coalpits. With the bevy of pit-brow lassies came Alderman Samuel Wood (mayor of Wigan) and Mrs. Wood, attended by the corporation beadle, in blue and gold; also the Rev. T. F. B. Twemlow, vicar of Abram, and one or two colliery owners and others interested in the employment crisis. On the platform with beaming smiles of welcome were Stephen Walsh, M. P., and J. E. Sutton, one of Manchester's Labor members. Chars-a- bancs were in waiting, and the girls were driven to a hotel near Charing Cross Station for a brief rest, having enaten a substantial luncheon in the train. They soon emerged, and were taken to see the sights in the vicinity, listening with eager interest to stray bits of description of the lions in Trafalgar Square, the Admiralty Arch, and the statue of King Charles. Thence they gradually made their way to the House of Commons, where they were shown into committee room No. 10 and into the presence of Mr. Churchill and Air. Mas- terman. Sir Arthur Markham, M P., was also seated on the platform seats, wliich gives the committee room much of the apearance of a small court of law. Several of the girls during the halt at the hotel had taken from their handbags the shawls and aprons which they wear when working at the pit-brow, and a double row of girls thus attired faced Mr. Churchill. Some had black hoods and jackets, with coarse brown Holland aprons, and others grew shawls completely covering their heads, showing how they keep the coal dust from their hair. After listening to the deputation, which was introduced by Mr. Har- mood-Banner, Mr. Masterson said that the chief impression left on the mind by the arguments was the necessity for votes for women, because this seemed to him essentially a question women should decide for themselves. He thought that if they bad an occupation for women which was acknowledged not to be unhealthy or dangerous or immoral, a man's parliament, elected by men, had no right to prohibit women from that occupation, whatever regulations might be imposed for the protection of the women In it. Mr. Churchill had authorized him to say that, so far as the government was concerned, when the bill came before the parliament they would attempt to oppose the admendment wliich had been carried, although they might offer certain regulations as to the work. The chief advice he could give the deputation was this: That between now and the time when the discussion of the Coal Mines Bill came on in parliament—it might not be for some months—they should convince members of parliament that the government anion was the right action in the matter, and Invite them to come and see the women working in Lancashire as he had done. "We will now lake tea on the Terrace," announced Mr. Ilnniiood-Han- ner, after the ministers had discussed the girls, and booh there was a clattering of clogs on the ringstones of the House. The fashionably dressed ladles, wives and sisters of members looked sotnewhnt astonished at tlie unexpected addition to their afternoon party, But there was no shyness on the part of the girls from Lancashire. On the contrary, they acted as If hobnobbing with members of parliament was quite the usual thing with them, and made themselves quite at home on the Terrace. Mr. Neville arrived with a shawled pit-girl on each arm, and Stephen Walsh was equally charmingly enl ceimbered. Other statesmen were just as friendly, and when great platefuls of cake and buns had been consumed a procession of members of parliament and Lancashire lassies was formed to look round the Houses. Not a hit awed were the girls by the gilded splendors of the House of Lords; more than one of (hem tested THE PRINCE RUPERT JOURNAL Office is equipped for all kinds of Job Work.

Much interest was evinced in the many historical paintings explained to them by their friends of the Lower House, and they all halted for critical Inspection of Henry VIII's six queens in the chamber immediately behind the thrones. All the girls expressed their perfect satisfaction with the work they had to perform, and compared it favorably with former employment in cotton mil's and elsewhere. Their hours are from 6 to 8:30, then from 9 to 12:30, continuing from 1 to 3— eight hours in all. "Very few of us are really tired when we leave off in the afternoon," said one of the girls, "and if we are, a wash and a cup of tea pulls us all right again. Some of us are quite equal toearning a shilling or two more at charing work In the evening." Indignation prevails among the 300 Cumberland pithead girls because of theh parliamentary committee's decision to abo'ish female labor in mines, which is denounced as unjust and grandmotherly. In Cumberland pit work is preferred to domestic service, because of the eight- hour day, and because of the spirit of comradeship which prevails among the girls. Physically they rank among the best of the womanhood of the country, not tall, but strongly made. They earn about ten shillings a week, their work in Cumberland being confined to removing the metal from the coal, and they have no heavy tubs to move. They are accepted as members of the Cumberland .Miners' Association at half- rates, and many marry pit-men. o >•!•******•>**.>*•>***+***•!•**•;'* * •;• 1 Canada's Position * * * ************************** Perhaps the best posted man In Canada on happenings and matters contemporary, from high finance to the prospects of the season's what crop, Is F. W. Peters, assistant to Sir William Whyte, vice president of the C. P. R., says the News-Advertiser referring to his arrival In Vancouver. If there Is a subject of Interest to Canadians that Mr. Peters cannot discuss more interestingly than anyone else II is not contained in the Encyclopaedia Britannlca. Undoubtedly the moBt timely and welcome news Is the fact that splendid reports of the Western Canada crops are coming in and that the weather Is Ideal for ripening. It was also pointed out that gold coin to the \alue of $11,lino,000 has already beeu withdrawn from the sub-treasury at New York this year for ship ment to Canada chiefly for crop moving needs. "Canada is more prosperous than ever and our trade returns for the quarter ending June 30, 1911, were $180,000,000, an increase of over $9,000,000 compared with April, May and June of last year," said Mr. Peters. "The imports totalled over $121 000,000, nearly $12,000,000 more than in the same period of 1910. "There has also been a marked increase in the building trade of Canada of fully 30 per cent for the first six months of this year, and it is reported that permits totalled over $11,000,000, the city of Toronto still leading. "As another indication of this country's unprecedented prosperity may also be cited the fact that the total immigration into Canada for June alone was 40,009, compared with 34,582 in- the same month of last year. Of these new settlers 27,- 974 came in at ocean ports and 12,- 035 from the United States. "But this is not the only indication of the undisputed fact that our country is doing better than ever. The lumber used in furniture and car manufacture in Canada for 1910 was valued at almost $3,000,000, and 65 per cent of that was native wood. "In the industrial line we are doing equally well, for I understand that a $1,000,000 sugar beet factory is to be erected at Strathmore, Alta., and the shipments of wheat alone' through the Lachine Canal alone In July show an Increase of 400,000 bushels over the same period last year. "Custom receipts of the Dominion have also increased materially, and the receipts for July amounted to over $6,500,000, as compared with $5,500,000 in July, 1910. "Canadian real estate is also receiving higher valuations than ever, and the taxable property In Montreal, for instance, Is valued at $500,- 000,000, an advance of $70,000,00 since last year. "But to speak of Switzerland going to Canada for cattle is like carrying coals to Newcastle or olws to Athens, but such Is nevertheless the fact, at least so far as Switzerland and Canadian cattle are concerned, for the little European repbuic Is actually importing cattle for slaughter, and theh first batch of 200 beeves arrived at Berne on August 2 by way of France. "Agriculture Is also likely to progress more rapidly than ever, for a ne wvariety of wheat, which has just been cut at the Brandon (Manitoba) Experimental Farm, took only 95 days In fruition." o ■— Mother—What did you do with that dime I gave you for taking your medicine?

EXPLAINED BY-LAWS (Continued From Page One) to doubly ass'ire the people and to satisfy them that Colonel Davis was correct In his figure. The result of this was that tlie proposal of Colonel Davis was endorsed to a very full extent. Mr. Thomson also asked If he would report upon the electric proposition, which it was agreed lie Should, it had been suggested by some in the city that the two schemes should be separated. The figures of Colonel Jinvis showed that to separate the two Bchemes, that of the water and of the electric power, would mean an expenditure of $68,000 more tiian to unite them, Company's Profits Tbe mayor said that it was said that the city could not make this electric proposition pay. He would like I" know why. Heading from an advertisement wliich appeared in the Toronto Globe last June setting forth what the Prince Itupert Hydro- Electric Company was preparing to do. It was set forth that the revenues of the company would he such as to ensure 12 per cent upon certain stock on a very large issue. If the company could make that out of the proposition why should it not pay the city to put in a power proposition In conjunction with the water supply as proposed? It was set forth in the opposition to the city's scheme that the company offered power for $2S a horse power. If that were so it was news to the council. No such proposition had been made to the council. The lowest rate that the company had made to the city was $30 per horse power. Before that was attained at least 4,000 horse power would have to be used. Mr. Thomson had showed him that under the agreement proposed while the city might he using on the basis of 4,000 horse power for nearly the whole year yet on some particular day the load might rise to nearly double that and if maintained for twenty minutes at the high rate that would be the power that would be charged up against the city. The agreement was thus not in shape to enter Into. City's Power With respect to the city's own power proposition, the figures of Mr. Thomson showed that the cost after the entire distribution of it would be only $37.60. Under the arrangement proposed with the Prince Rupert Hydro-Electric the price would apply to the power delivered at the city gates, and the cost of distribution would be added. The council was not quarrelling with Mr. Brutinel. What they had said to Mr. Brutinel had been that If the people of Prince Rupert were willing to back up the council they will install their own city system. ' They proposed to develop their own power to the extent to which it would go. They would also look after the distribution in the cily, When the city's power was developed to the full the city would be willing to buy from the company on a just and equitable basis the power to be delivered at the city gate. This matter was being looked at from the city's standpoint. The council wanted to encourage all the enterprises possible to come Into the city. It did not want to be Interfered with h developing its own proposition. Opposition to Plans Mr. Brutinel had acted very gentlemanly In his negotiations with the council; but there were others who were showing a very strong opposition to the proposition of the city emanating from Interests connected wi*h the Prince Rupert Hydro-Electric Company. He had long been in favor of municipal ownership of public utilities. He was stii In favor of It, and pro- pee-, -l to give Prince Ruperl an op- portunity tee control these, as i tin- expenditure of the money, the greal bulk of that would be don.- by contract labor, it would be necessary to clear away the timber en the shores of Lake Wood- worth, where 'lie- water would lee damned up. li was proposed to clear this by station work, opening the tenders in the council and awarding then: in the open. Tlie ditches for the pipe would be let hy station work in th i same way as the clearing. 1 ere would be some day labor also. Thfy could rest assured that there would he no large contrcacts, however. Light Cost He had taken tbe trouble to figure out the cost to property owners under this. The entire cost of the two schemes, the water and the electric propositions, would represent 3% mills on the dollar on the present assessment of the city. This WO ild provide for interest and sinking fund. Even if there was no there could be a charge of only 75 I cents a year for interest and sinking •fund; on a $500 lot it would amount to $1.87 a year, while on a $1,000 lot '■ it would be $3.75. The debt was to be a charge upon j the rates collected. The profits In I the early years could not be expect- I ed to be large. The rates given were I those if no profit were made at all. Healing with tlie effect ujion the borrowing power of the city, Mr. .Manson showed that the effect of [this loan with that already incurred by the city would still leave theh city wiih a borrowing power of $800,00 on its present assessment.. Mr. Brutinel Speaks U. Brutinel ol' the Prince Rupert Hydro-Electric Company, who had been Invited by the mayor to speak, followed, explaining his position. Mr. Brutinel said that he would assure them his company was nol behind any opposition which was heing Btlrred up against either bylaw. "I am a gentleman," said he. "Mr. .Manson vouches for that." (Laughter.) He tell sure Mr, Manson thought that some of tlie opposition stirred up was from his company. He could assure him that he was not endeavoring to hurt the bylaw. Referring to the prospectus which the mayor had quoted from, Mr. Brutinel said that, his company had certainly attracted attention to Prince Rupert, it was showing the world that Prince Rupert was on the map and was attracting Investments here. Mr. Brutinel said his company was not in any sense "creeping in tiie dark." He felt lhat his company would be sought after to enter the city, it was the great developer of a city to have a strong electric company supplying power. His company expected to make 12 per cent on its investment, but only when 15,000 Tiorse power was developed. The company was today spending $5,000 a month without any returns. Labor Speaker J. B. King, having embraced the opportunity to speak, took exception to the bylaws on the ground that the workers were not given a chance to say how this money was to be expended—how many hours they were to work, how fast they were to work, and what pay they were to receive. He spoke with fluency upon the economic situation as it exists today, using the arguments usually used by advocates of socialism. Mr. Ross Gives Views Mr. Ross, superintendent of the electric lighting in Seattle, who had been asked to visit the city and present the practical side of the question, was the next speaker. Mr, Ross in opening dwelt at some length on the possibilities of this country. He had travelled across the northern part of the province thirteen years ago, and depicted the wealth of that country. This was going to be one of the principal cities on the Coast on account of the resources back of it and its transportation advantages. He was always in favor of municipa' ownership, He had fought for It for eight years. He believed docks, lighting and power should be owned by the city. Railways he now believed should be owned by the public. He believed that a city should develop Its own power. If It needed more than it could produce, it should buy from a company, or anyone who could In quantity, but he would insist upon getting it at a right price. Ho is against a private company coming into any city that could produce its own power. The money to develop a company's undertaking was built up upon the credit of the city. Seattle's Experience He told of the fight put up against a public owned plant In Seattle by private companies.. In Seattle the plant had been put In by day labor largely, They operated upon day labor. The electric light was paying the whole of the Interest on the bond Issue of the city, \e first, while, the consumption vies small, the plant went behind. In 1906, the profll above operating expanses was $28,406; In 1907, il was $69,000; In 1908, it fras $130,928; iniin 1909, it «as $•;4•;,.".■;^,; In toio, it was $360,000; in 1911, it was $401,000; and in 1912, it was estimated it would be $960,000, with perhaps $400,000 or $450,000 for operating expenses. The proposition of public owned light in the citj of Seattle was popular. Seattle has always voted the clt) light bonds, although they turned down many other bonds. The street lighting wns about four times what It was when they starled. He advised never allowing any company to come within the gates of the city. These companies were all right If they sold In bulk at the city gates, but the city should look after Its town of 4,300 but they were deciding a question for a city. It was a case of whether the city would control its supply and reap the benefits or allow some one else to do it. Other Speakers Aid. Smith spoke briefly. He said that he was in favor of station work as far as possible. In spite of what had been said as to Foley, Welch & Stewart's woi;k, he could say that that company paid at the rate of $3 a day. Station men in nearly every instance made higher wages than that. The vote of Saturday was of Importance to the city. If the city plant was installed the city would he in a position to control the rates, which was very Important. Aid. Hllditch said that the G. T. P. agreement wns the best that had ever been entered! nto. It was better than the agreement proposed hy last year's council. The agreement was fair and equitable to both sides. The hydro-electric seiiemc was in the minds of the council of 1910. in 1910 Mr. Brutinel had come with the Intention of forcing his way In. The council of 1910 refused to allow this. Mr. Brutinel came in a different mood now. He was glad to know this. He would like to see the company come in and deliver its power at the city boundaries. If they did not protect this electric power franchise they would never protect the street car franchise. Aid. Newton spoke in favor of the bylaw. Aid. Clayton spoke very briefly owing to the late hour. He was hearitly in accord with the bylaws. Aid. Douglas brought the meeting to a dose by reading his views on the subject, in which he stood for the principle of public ownership and against any "frame-up," which would arouse his anger to such an extent that he would roar so that he would be heard from the centre to the cir- cumference of the city. o .- RAIN IN INTERIOR hot hath. The water was tested and found to be 13S degree. The party expects to return on the Inlander on Saturday. The G. T. P. special, with the company ortlciais auoard, arrived at Van Arsdol last night at a:20, practically making the sj.c-d limit of 35 miles an hour over the whole distance. The party hoarded steamers awaiting their arrival and will go to Hazelton, returning Saturday. o Voting on the city bylaws on Saturday from O a, iu, to 7 p. m. nt the city pnlec court room, Third Avenue.

Kitsunikahim Application On the request of Messrs. Ehy, et al., the erection by the G. T. P. of a station at Kltsumkalum has been refused. The refusal as handed down states that owing to the location of Kit- siiinkaliini it would be necessary to have the yard on a four-tenths of one per cent grade or else to raise the bridge over the Kltsumkalum River and divert the wagon road to the Skeena which crosses the railway tracks.

Early Sunday morning and again in the afternoon the heaviest rais of the summer fell in the Copper River district. At Lakelse Lake the rainfall was light but a strong south wind is blowing and rain is likely at any time with the wind from that quarter. Bruce Johnson and his party from the hatchery had considerable work keeping their "fences" clear owing to a six inch rise in Williams Creek. Twice during the night they had to nspect them and clean out some of the debris. The sockeye has not been very plentiful this season and they cannot take chances on losing a fence. Mr. Johnson expects to have the full complement of four to four and a half million eggs in a little over two weeks' time safe in the nests at the Dominion government hatchery on Trout River. City Clerk Woods and Mrs. Woods and Mr. and Mrs. Viereck of Prince Rupert are camping at the south end of the lake and are having a jolly time. The fishing is good and the camp fire gossip is better. One mishap is reported. The camp dog unwittingly jumped into the hot springs at. the end of the week and is still suffering from the effects of a too of the date of the election will duly appear upon the list as a voter. The statute throws upon the assessor the duty of making these changes from time to time, and when the list is finally complete, which will be in ample time for the election, it will be found that the very extraordinary point, raised in the News editorial is purely imaginary. If I may be allowed for a moment to depart from my own particular department, I think it is a pity that newspapers should ma'ke statements of this description without at all events taking some pains to ascertain if there Is any foundation whatever for what they say. Fair comment is always right, but the News' statement is not a comment—it is simply an incorrect statement. 1 remain, very truly yours, FRED PETERS, City Solicitor.
