Petition Asking to Do Away With Bridge on Filth Avenue Over Fulton The attention of the city council last night was taken up for the most part with the hearing of the views of the two delegations, one of which sought to have a plank road con- steructed from Ninth Avenue to Eleventh Avenue in order to allow of building in that section of the city across Hays Creek opposite the end of AlcBride Street, while the other sought to have the proposed bridge across Fulton Street or 'Fifth Avenue done away with. Petitions were presented in each case. In support of the first proposition, H. Gampp and W. H. Montgomery spoke. Air. Gampp said there were several who would build if the road were built. He had come in the hope of having the council discuss the matter. His Worship said that it would be preferable that the delegation should express its views so that the council might be informed as to the best course to follow. Those Interested should give reasons why the work was desired. Air. Gampp said he had heard that there was some opposition to this work. He would be ready to improve his property if the road were put in. Mr. Montgomery also said he would like to build there. The city engineer's department represented that it would be costly, but if they built by the alleyway he thought this could be overcome. Aid. Douglas said the city engineer estimated %e cost at $19,000. He thought ilie district in the direction of Sherbrooke Street should have a road. It was desirable building property and something should be done. Aid. Hilditch pointed out that there was a precedent involved which had held the work up. The city council had not built any roadways. All had been put in under the local WILL NOT ENTER FEDERAL POLITICS All rumors regarding the possibilities of Hon. Richard AlcBride becoming a member of the Conservative cabinet at Ottawa have been set at rest by the premier stating that he did not intend accepting the invitation which had been extended to him by Air. R. L. Borden. The premier will continue to lead the government of Britisii Columbia, whose administration has been marked with such conspicuous success. ............. Improvement plan. There was a considerable length of road to build to make the connection sought. If the petitioners and those directly interested would undertake to pay for the whole work It would be done at once. If they did not agree to that the situation wns awkward. The delegation agreed to look Into this aspect of the case. Fifth Avenue Bridge On the subject of the Fifth Avenue bridge, Air. McKenzie appeared in support of the petition, which had for Its object the leaving of the Fulton Street grade about what It was now with a flat crossing on Fifth Avenue instead of the lowering of Fulton and the bridging of it on Fifth Avenue. Air. AlcKenzle said it was felt that the bridge was not necessary. It was felt that Fulton Street was good enough'Without lowering Fulton at Fifth Street. With a park about the location where the reservoir tank now was there should be no lowering of the street below that. Air. McKenzie was thanked for the trouble he had taken and the information given the council, and it was promised that the matter would be looked Into. o Austin Brown of the pioneer saddlery in this city left yesterday morning for Vancouver and Victoria on business.

DETENTION SHEDS Dr. Bryce Wants City to Look Ground for Future Needs of Place. Over New Bell to He Ordered for the Electric Lighting Plant The necessity for additional lighting on the streets was Introduced nt the council meeting of lasl evening when Aid. Hllditch asked If the light requested for Hays Creek bridge bud been arranged for. Aid. Clayton explained that the! plant was now loaded up. There was | danger that the bell used In the plant i might break, which would leave the city in darkness. After discussion, it was decided to recommend that a new belt be purchased at a cost of about $300. It was also decided to try to have tlie light placed on the bridge as requested. Aid. Hilditch felt that while the plant was running at Its fullest capacity, yet the first claim upon it was for the street lighting. Private lighting should have to wait. o Coal Aline Work W. G. McAlorrls of the British Pacific Coal Company, now operating nn Graham Island, returned from the south on Sunday by the Princess Beatrice and went on to the mines.

He has come to the Pacific Coast in connection with the transfer of tire Chinese Immigration work from the customs department to the immigration department. His visit to Prince Rupert was to look over the local situation preparatory to the opening up of the port to trans-Pacific trade and the influx of immigration that must follow. In company with Dr. Reddie, the local representative, he visited the different parts of the waterfront studying local conditions. At present he has nothing In view in the way of detention-sheds but these will follow later. The early completion of the G. T. P. will render it absolutely essential that some place Is provided for the taking care of the Immigrants, and this Dr. Bryce feels will be something that will require very early attention. Dr. Bryce was very much impressed with the progress here. He visited townsite just about the time of the opening sale, and Is delighted to see the progress that has followed.

Organization has 143 Members After Only Four Munths' Existence (Special Correspondence) Kitsumkalum, Oct. 9.—The mem bers of the Kltsumkalum Farmers Institute propose holding an entertainment in the church hall, Kitsumkalum, October 30 at 7:30 p. m. The event is to celebrate the first quarter of their existence. The department of agriculture is going to send a couple of reputable speakers to take part in the programme. The institute, though only tour months old, has a membership of 143, which is certainly a very creditable showing for such a scattered populace. The institute has distributed among its members over $1,000 worth of stumping powder, which shows in itself that the Kitsumkalum and Lakelse rancher is up and doing. At a meeting of the hospital board a few days ago D. G. Stewart, the chairman of the board, maie a proposition that there should be the initial steps taken to secure an addition to Uiat institution. He did so because he felt that before the work could be undertaken there would be pressing need for the additional accommodation. At present there had to be delays in taking in patients owing to the fact that the institution was frequently crowded to its capacity. A division, it was reported, had been made in the large wards on the second floor, and George Tlte had furnished in a most elegant manner a double ward thus provided. Air. Tite had given the entire furnishings and had equipped it in a most creditable way. A hearty vote of thanks to Air. Tite was passed by the board for bis generosity. The donation of $50 by Duncan Ross and $50 by E. L. Fisher were both reported to the meeting, and it was resolved that each of them be thanked for their donation. In keeping with the suggestion of the chairman it was decided to appoint a committee to go into the subject of an additional wing to the hospital. Air. Stewart felt that while the present board would not be able thought it should have the subject well in hand and should be in a position to turn over to the new to undertake actual building, yet he board a lot of information that would be of value and would allow of no | delay in th.-. work. The chairman named a committee consisting of P. I; Palmer as chairman, J. A. Kirkpatrick and O. IT. Nelson, with the president as a member ex-officio. The committee will consult and have a preliminary report ready for the next meeting of the board. Air. Hopp of Olympia, Wash., has been in the city this week looking over the prospects for industrial enterprises. He may become interested in the city and enter upon a manufacturing line but has not matured his plans far enough yet to slate definitely what they will be.

PRINCE RUPERT JOURNAL Demand for Apples There is no more danger of over- productionof high grade commercial apples in the Pacific slope and inter mountain districts than there is of the hens of America laying more eggs than can be marketed, according to Professor E. E. Faville of Spokane, editor of the Western Farmer, who has made an exhaustive study of crop and market conditions, in the principal apple belts in the United States and Canada. "We frequently hear the remark that the planting of fruit trees is being overdone in the western country and that before long apples will be a glut on the market," Professor Faville said. "Certainly this is most erroneous, especially from the standpoint of demand, production and the incrense in population. "Reports of (he department of agriculture show that in the face of a rapidly increasing demand, owing to the growth in population, the annual production of apples in tlie United States actually decreased between 1896 and 1908, during which period our population was increased by fully 12,000,000. "Take, for instance the year 1908, with 12,000,00 more persons to feed and 138,000,000 bushels less of apples to feed them. We are brought at once to the tremendous importance of this economic fact and also to the fallacy of the statement that fruit growing is being overdone. "This decrease is largely due to the fact that so many of the old orchards in tlie east have been badly infested with fruits ests, and in addition have been dying out. Thousands upon thousands of acres are annually aoandoned to the ravages of the wooly aphis, the codling moth and the San Jose scale, as we.l as the annual inroads made by damaging frosts. "Tlie following statstics covering the yield of fruit in the country point to an important lesson: Year Barrels 1895 60,453,000 1896 69,070,000 1897 41,Te36,000 1898 28,570,000 1S99 58,466,000 1900 56,820,000 1901 26,970,000 1902 46,615,000 1903 46,625,000 1904 45,350,000 1905 24,310,000 1906 3S,2S0,000 1907 29,540,000 1908 25,450,000 1909 22,735,000 1 '") 24,000,000 "\e ■ frequently hear the question of over-roductlon mentioned when the planting of an orchard is under consideration. Tlie foregoing statistics show some salient facts worth remembering. Besides, there are many more people eating fruit today than there were a decade ago, and there is less fruit to be eaten. "Farmers in the states of the Alid- dle West were planting ochards 20 years ago with as much zeal as the growers in the Northwest are planting today. The history of the orchards planted in the .Middle West shows that in a few years after coming into bearing insect pests and plant diseases eliminated many of these orchards, and thousands of acres of apple orchards were removed by the axe. It might also be stated that trees were planted ina wholesale way on most any kind of land, whether it possessed the qualities of good apple land or not. So,today, th-tough (he old rule of the 'survival of the fittest' a small proportion of the orchards of 20 years ago In these districts is producing profitable crops now. "You may ask: 'What about Hie future of the hundreds of acres of fruit land that are being plan led yearly in the favored districts of the Inland Empire?' Our reply is: The same forces that have worked formerly lo reduce Hie orchards is certain to work in the future as in the past. But if the fruit grower has good orchard land and Is willing to give his orchard the care that it demands, he cannot fail. Moreover, he must succeed. "The demand for first class fruit is growing, and iu the years to follow this demand will bring good market prices. Our advice is to plant more fruit trees on good orchard land and stay by the proposition." o NEW EJIPRESSES Skeena Land District—District of Queen Charlotte TAKE NOTICE that thirty days from date, 1.

THE NEW CABINET In the selection of a cabinet Air. Borden leas made choice of a large number of new men. This lias Us advantages. Practically all bave had experience In the House' and are well acquainted therefore witlr public business. They take up the eluties of office wlthoul any pusi records In office. Hon. George E. Foster Is the only member of the old Conservative ministry to find a place in the new organization after fifteen years opposition. There is a sprinkling of men who have seen actual work as the heads of portfolios in provincial cabinets and these will give a close touch with tlie provincial side of the work. The choice of Hie Britisii Columbia representative, Alartin Burrell, is one that will give satisfaction. Air. Burrell is a polished speaker and a man of the highest integrity. He is a trained farmer, being skilled in the theory of that calling as well as being a practical horticulturist. He will do honor to tlie province he represents. PREMIER'S DECISION Tire decision reached by Hon. Richard AlcBride to remain as premier of his native province rather than accept an offer of cabinet work in the ministry of R. L. Borden at Ottawa will be good news to citizens of Britisii Columbia. A feeling prevailed that the popular provincial leader might deem it of advantage to enter tlie federal field. Those who know Hon. Mr. McBride, however, felt that it would be under very heavy stress that he would quit the service In the province where he was born and where lie had achieved such marked sdccess in a political way. In reaching the conclusion lie has Mr. McBride lias decided that the best interests of Hie province demand his continuation as the head of Hie local government. Airy Inclination which he may have had to enter the larger field, but at the same time no less importanl political work, has been set aside by him in order to better serve his own province. There will be no difference of opinion as to his having taken tire proper course as far as Britisii Columbia's interests are concerned, although be has sacrificed in so doing chances that would not have been overlooked by a smallei man. The premier has set out to accomplish certain well defined ends with re- spee-t to this province. With a dogged perseverai ce that Is characteristic of the man he is persisting In that course. I'he return of Air. Borden to power is expected to facilitate Hie carrying out of some of tlrese objects which Air. AlcBride lias m sight, Including better terms. No one else in Britisii Columbia, it Is safe to say, has to the same extent foreseen tlie future which tlie province Iras. Persistently since lie attained power he has developed a policy which leas had for iis object the opening up upon broad and solid lines tlie whole area of British Columbia. His policy lias been carried out effectively bul with an entire absence eel' ostentation, (lie native son premier preferring to allow himself to be judged by Hie objects attained rather than by any display of fireworks in a political way. From bis solid business ability, ami ins able leadership, Mr. McBride mad,, himself a power in the province, lie has been of Hie people, legislating ever for all classes in the country rather than for any particular section, Simple and homelike in all iris tastes, lie has always kept c'ose to the pulse of Hie general public anil knows to the fullest tire needs of tire people. It will be a matter of general satisfaction throughout Britisii Columbia that Premier McBride is to stay in provincial politics and complete the work he has started out to accomplish in the interests of the Pacific province. system rather than the o'der one of a mayor and council purely. Under the commission form of government allowed by the Municipal Clauses Act of the province three commissioners may be appointed, the mayor being one, but there is also a city council which must pass upon the reports of these three departmental heads. While there are undoubted advantages under the commission form of government, the system is not without its disadvantages as well. The commissioners must be elected just as aldermen are elected. If objectionable aldermen succeed in being elected there is no reason for believing thai under another name, that of commissioners, these same objectionable citizens would not find it possible to get a place. They would be elected, however, for- two years instead of one year. When all is said and done it gets back to the electorate, if tire electorate cannot ohoOBe competent aldermen, how can the same electorate be expected to select good commissioners always? The fact that tlie commissioners give their time to tbe city government is of advantage as tending to give better service, but this always presupposes that the commissioners are well qualified for lire post. If not well qualified, they are capable of working the greater niichief. Before taking a radical step such us this the people of Prince Rupert should very carefully consider the 1 oint. None of the British Columbia cities have found it advisable yet to adopt the system, although it has been considered at considerable length in both Vancouver and Victoria. There has been found upon investigation to be room left under commission government for the introduction in a more aggravated form of Hie very abuses it is sought to remedy in tlie existing system. A conscientious council under the present system can give first class civic government. A conscientious commission could also give similar results. On the other hand, a self- seeking council, or a self-seeking commission, can each in turn do inestimable injury to a city. Under the council system quicker action in tlie way of a remedy is supplied because the commissioners are usually- elected for two years instead of for one. was supported by the British Columbia government and the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway Company. The party made a circuit of 100 miles around .Mount Robson, aud made complete maps of the enclosed area. WILL AID WIST Very nearly 300 Conservatives of Edmonton met at a banquet in celebration of the victory of their party tnrougliout the Dominion, and in honor of the fight made by William A. Griesbach, their candidate. Fjl'oin out of all the good things which were said, P. A. .Morrison, who contested the neighboring riding of Victoria, brought a message from Premier-elect Borden which is of interest to the whole of Western Canada. In a letter received by Air. .Morrison, Mr. Borden says that in so far as nes in his power be will use that power to bring about the great schemes propounded by him for the advancement of Western Canada, and to these shall be given his immediate attention and the immediate attention of his colleagues. *' News of the Province ,'■; SUIT OVER COAL LANDS VANCOUVER—An action involving coal lands on Vancouver Island will come up for bearing in the supreme court shortly. .1. .1. Grant and Alvon von Alvensleben are the parties :o the suit. The claim is for $2." 000, and is made under a certain agreement alleged to have oeen entered into in 1910 regarding the disposal of coal lands to the Vancouver et Nanalmo Coal Company. Messrs. Taylor, Harvey, Daiid & Giant are representing the plaintiff. NOTED ENGINEER VANCOUVER Sir- John Wolfe- Barry, K.O.P.. 1.1..D..

CHILDREN ARE SHOT VICTORIA—A. A. Sears, former captain of the wrecked steamer Iroquois, while shooting on Knowles' farm near West Saanich Road, missed his mark, the discharge of his rifle striking a little girl in the calf of the right leg and in the hip, while the boy, who was with her, received one pellet over one of his eyes. Air. Sears stood only twenty-five feet from the road where the children turned to take a shot cut toward the school. The report was heard by Air. Bishop, who quickly leaped over the roadway in order to assist the frightened children, who are tire son and daughter of ,1. Cage, manager of Percy Hindi's farm at Saanich. They were helped into a passing wagon and taken to their home, where Dr. tl, Gordon dimming abstracted the shots and dressed the wounds, which were but slight. CONSERVING FORESTS Treating (lie Forest as a Crop Is Advised as One of the Best Ideas The progress of the conservation policy of Canada, as applied to forest resources, depends more upon the forestry branch of the department of the interior than upon any other organization. Upon the technical knowledge and executive ability of the officers of the forestry branch depends the future of the forest on 16,000,000 acres of Dominion forest reserves, as well as upon the large area of non-agricultural forest land In Western Canada, which for the good of the country may yet be set aside as permanent forest reserves. In addition to looking after Dominion lands the forestry branch is now being asked by eastern land owners (o furnish advice as to the best means of securing at the earliest date a profitable crop of timber on waste land or wood-lots. The proper administration of forest lands requires a special knowledge of tlie trees best adapted to each region, of their uses, and of the markets. Further, there is needed knowledge of the habits of all trees, especially of the merchantable species, so that it may ire knokn how rapidly they grow, how they produce their seed, when and under what conditions the seed germinates, and in what way the seedlings and young young trees are affected by their surroundings. Such knowledge is gained only by long study and experience. In order that the new Rocky Aloun- tain forest reserves may he administered according to the latest scientific knowledge and the best experience, the forestry branch is now making a detailed study of the habits of the merchantable species of trees on tlie eastern slope of the Rockies In Alberta and has sent of tlie men in charge of the work to study the systems of forest management practised during tlie past few years by the highly developed United States forest service in the national forests of .Montana. The United States foresters have spent, large sums of money and availed themselves of the experience of many men In developing plans of lumbering' wliich do not inconveni- ene the lumbermen bul which ensure the protection and reproduction of the forest and the Canadian forestry branch intends to benefit largely by their experience. NEW STEAMSHIP LINE COMMISSION GO\ ERNMENT A movement is again on foot in lire city for the Introduction of tlie commission form of civic government. Ever since Prince Rupert became incorporated there has been a section of the community that favored this COMPLETED SURVEY VANCOUVER — A. O. Wheeler, E.R.G.S., whir for the last three weeks has been in charge of a party engaged in making a topographical survey of the Yellowhead Pass and tire surrounding region, has returned to Vancouver. The expedition was organized by tlie Alpine Club, and Another steamship line is planning to establish a service to Britisii Columbia anil Pugel Sound ports to be in this trade when the Panama Canal. is opened. Tlie Nordstjarnan Steamship Company of Stockholm announces thai next year it will despatch vessels to Seeiitlr American ports and the Nortli Pacific Coast. Th ne v. Ben Ice will be inaugurated early next year. Commenting on a recenl announcement that the Hamburg-America Company would send a line to San Francisco and the Orient ley way of the Panama Canal when it was opened, lhe London Dally Telegraph says: "It is not at all clear what the programme Is, especially as all shipping between New York and San Francisco is now reserved to tlie American flag as 'coasting,' and the opening of the canal will make no difference in that respect. It may be that the Hamburg-America line proposes to run a service from New York to the Far East, via Panama, and another from the Plate and the Brazils to San Francisco, also by way of the canal. These are among the possibilities of the situation. It is clear that the United States has not the ships with which to open up the new routes made feasible by the sundering of the Isthmus. It must be done by British or German vessels. The fact that the Germans are alive to the new situation, gives point to the prospective co-operation of the Royal Mail, Pacific Steam, and Lamport and Holt lines. All three of them are in the South American trade, and two of them trade to West Coast ports as well as with the Brazils and the Plate. The Lamport and Holt line links up New York with South America, and the Royal Mail is also at New York as well as in the West Indes and Central America, to both of whom the Panama Canal should bring renewed life. Thus three lines are extraordinary well placed for turning the canal to good account, whether as regards the Pacific coasts of North and South America or communication between the United States and the Far East. In a measure tlie completion of the Panama Canal will revolutionize Hie world's steamship routes. •le * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *.; Fergusons p & o The Most Popular SCOTCH WHISKEY in the World Sole Agents for British Columbia -j- | CLARKE BROS. f * Melntyre Block, 3rd Ave. | I Phone 39 | P.O.

Egeria, the hydrograpUlo ship which has had such an interesting history among the vessels of the king's navy, and which is to be sold under the hammer under instructions from Commander Vivian, R. N., on behalf or the admiralty, by Stewart Williams, at Esquimalt on October 9 and 10, was to make the initial surveys of the route from the Pacific to the new Grand Trunk Pacific port at Prince Rupert. The Egeria, on her last cruise, went to Dixon Entrance, and tire waterway leading from the North Pacific past the northern coast of the Queen Charlottes was surveyed and some work done in the northern part of Hecate Strait, a work now being completed by the Canadian government hydro- graphic steamer Lillooet, which has taken over the work of the British hydrographic vessel. After completing this work the Egeria returned to Esquimalt, where sheMias been lying since, her crew, with the exception of Lieutenant Hodgson and one man, having been sent home by the admiralty some time ago. Specially selected for hydrographic service in consequence of the stoutness of her oak hull and the reliability of her engines and machinery, tlie Egeria would make a model wrecking or trading craft, should she be purchased for either of these uses. WILL FISH FOR COD Advices from Japan say that it is expected that with the stoppage of pelagic sealing following the coming into force of the new four-power treaty on December 15 next, many of the Japanese vessels will be placed in the cod-fishing business. The Yorodzu says in this connection: "An Hiroshima fisherman, in a schooner of 200 tons, has been engaged in codfishing in the Okhotsk Sea, in the interests of the Dai Nippon Susen- kai. According to iris report, the industry is a very promising proposition, and if schooners of the size of his be employed with ample supplies of salt each vessel will be able to return with a catch of 200,000 end. Those fish sold at ten sen apiece, which would net as much as 20,000 yen. A fleet of 200 such vessels, says lie, would net 4,000,000 yen a year." them successfully against European lines and so to break all agreements at any time or when or where they choose to do so. What would happen to Japanese and other foreign lines of steamers if Great Britain or her various practically independent colonies or dominions would combine and stop all passenger or cargo traffic between intermediate direct ports, as should have been done years ago, and which must come some day, if Great Britain and he dependencies are to continue to hold their own in the world's carrying trade? I do not profess to know what it costs lo run continental liners. American liners are the most expensive, next to those are the Britisii colonial owned, then come the Japanese steamships, which cost more to run than any British or other European liners, otherwise the Britisii liners would be utterly unable to run against them on the cargo carrying trades of the world. .More so that Lreat Britain has few restrictions of any sort." JAPANESE SHIPPING A correspondent of tlie Colonist who has lived for many years in the Orient, where he was engaged in the shipping trade, writes as follows: "The Nippon Yusen Kaisha uf To- kio, Japan, have started a new line of steamers from Kobe to Calcutta, manned entirely ley Japanese. Tiro steamers are as follows: Jinsen Maru, Kiriu Maru,—both old army transports bought at tlie time of tlie beginning of the Russo-Japanese war— Miike Maru and Hiroshima Muni, all cargo steamers. The first steamer started from Kobe on the tenth of September. On the outward voyages the steamers call at ...oji, Hongkong, Singapore, Penang, and Rangoon, and homeward al Rangoon, Penang, Singapore and Honkgong. No passengers will be carried by this line-. "All the company's Bombay-Kobe liners arc now entirely manned by Japanese, and the European captains anel engineers have been placed on the reserve list- There are still a few European captains and chief engineers ou tire European line', six ships of thai line having either a European captain or chief engineer, One European captain, tlie oldest In the employ, and one European chief engineer., also the lelele-si in the coni- pany's Bervlce, are' em tlie company's Shanghai-Yokohama line, aud there are very few Europeans left on the roasting Hues of tlie company. "The latest news Is that the government of Japan has stopped all cargo or passenger traffic by European owned steamers between the various open ports in tlie Japanese Empire. "A short time ago the Japanese lines suddenly broke all agreements with the North Pacific lines, and cut down freights to an almost unpayable basis. They can afford to do so because the various steamers either carry a mail subsidy or are otherwise subsldibed under the Steamship Encouragement Law of Japan, which gives a handsome realm to all vessels which come under its working. So the Japanese companies are thus enabled to start new lines and run JOINED TURKEY'S NAVY o Forming units of the iwkish navy, which may at any time clash with the Italian fleet, are the well known sister steamships Erna and Ella, which at one time engaged in tire trade between Britisii Columbia ports and Mexico. The two vessels joined the sultan's fleet only a few days ago and were immediately renamed, the Ella becoming the Vestlandet and the Erna the Ramon Corral. They have been assigned to the transport division and have been fitted up in such a manner as to be able to comfortably carry the sultan's soldiers to the distant fighting fields. After being unsuccessful in trying to make good in the Mexican trade, the two liners, operated by Jebsen & and Ostrantler, were laid up down the Sound. After lying idle for many months a report was circulated that the Turkish government had pure-based the ships and they were at once overhauled in preparation for their long voyage to the sultan's domain. They loaded cargoes of wheat at Tacoma for Europe, and both passed out at the Cape several months ago. A short time ago the two vessels reached their destination, and after discharging their cargoes were turned over to the sulton by the owners. Both the Erna and Ella have had adveutful careers, for during the time since they arrived on this coast the celebrated hoodoo has been following in their wakes. They met with no end of misfortunes and during the run from the Sound to Honolulu, en route to Europe, the Ella nearly foundered, arriving at the Hawaiian port with much water in her holds and a considerable portion of her cargo damaged. SPORTS PALLING OFF IX RACING The prenomenal falling off of tbe raring game owing to adverse legislation in tlie past two years is shown lry tire record of winning stallions. The cutting out of tlte rich stake events has played havoc with breeders that owned well bred stallions.

He intimates that if Mcintosh comes through with any kind of an offer he may tackle some of the "hopes" who are out in the Antipodes. Jimmy Clabby, who sailed on the same boat with _.urn% came to Vancouver direct from Winnipeg, where he lost a fifteen-round decision to .ike Gibbons, a St. Paul fighter. Tlie Milwaukee boy has engaged in but seven contests in 1911, but for those seven affairs he conies pretty nearly holding a record in point of mileage covered to the scenes of his operations. For tbe eighty rounds of milling that he has engaged in he has travelled in the neighborhood of 7,000 miles—an average of 87 1-2 miles a round. It is doubtful if many artists of the roped arena can produce figures that will compare with Clabby's. Clabby started his 1911 season in Australia, when he met Dave Smith, the big middleweight. Smith, at this time, had been cutting up capers in his division as a result of a win over Billy Papke, which, later, was wiped out by the Thunderbolt. Clabby conceded many pounds to the Australian and made a corking good fight under adverse weather conditions, but the decision went to Smith at the end of the twentieth round. Clabby did not appear in the ring again until February 23, when he won from Harry Duncan in twenty rounds in London, England. Next timbe he squared off with the gloves was in Buffaro, N. Y., when no decision was given in his ten-round go with Mike (Twin) Sullivan. Big Jeff Smith was Clabby's next opponent. They went ten rounds in New York, and again the Gotham laws prevented the third man in the arena giving a verdict. After a short rest in Milwaukee, in which an injured' hand came in for treatment, 'Clabby and Knockout Brown of Chicago had a ten-round mixup at Racine, Wis. o In world politics the Moroccan em- broglio is S'till the important ques tion. An article on "The German Designs on Africa" in the Nineteenth Century for August not only throws light upon the Morocco crisis but shows how the United States, as well as Greal Britain, might be concerned. Germany's demand for territorial expansion seems to obess alike her princes, politicians and newspaper press. The argument is thus condensed and quoted from the Frankfurter Zietung: "We have sixty-five millions of people cooped up in a territorial area of little more than 200,000 square miles, which is less than the size of the single State of Texas. It should be clear that a great nation, whose population is equal to If not greater than the British, and which increases by nearly one million annually, cannot be forced from all the outlets wliich she may need for future material expansion. Such a policy would eventually be a great danger to the peace of the world and must some day lead to a bursting of the bonds which have been laid upon the nation to binder its peaceable extension." These "hindrances' refer to her attempts upon the Boer republic, which were defeated by Great Brit- THE CANADIAN BANK OF COMMERCE SIR EDMUND WALKER, C.V.O., LL.D., D.C.L., President ALEXANDER LAIRD, General Manager CAPITAL, - $10,000,000 REST, - $7,000,000 DRAFTS ON FOREIGN COUNTRIES Every branch of The Canadian Bank of Commerce is equipped to issue drafts on tiie principal cities in the following countries without delay : Africa Crete Arabia _ Cuba Argentine Republic Denmark Australia A it stria-11 unwary Belgium Brazil Bulgaria CevTon Chili China Greece Holland Iceland India Ireland Italy pan .

In the same vein of territorial covetousness, Herr Basser- mann, leader of the German Liberal party, declared that "Germany has not received a share corresponding to her economic needs in the partition of tlie world. Territory on the Congo is not an adequate indemnification for Germany's economic interests in Morocco. Mr. Barker's description of these interests is amusing: "Germany's economic interests in Morocco are infinitesimal. Of Germany's foreign trade exactly l-1500th, that is, one fifteenth of one per cent, is with Morocco. Of the imports of Morocco, Germany supplied in 1909, according to the British statistics, only 5.9 per cent., while the United Kingdom supplied 37.1 per cent and France 41.3 per eent. During tlte period 1904-1909 Germany's exports to .Morocco averaged, accrding to uerman statistics, exactly 104,160 pounds per annum, about as much as the yearly turnover of a medium sized shop. It is true that German citizens have acquired from the natives certain mining concessions, but in the absence of a .Moroccan mining law these are valueless. Lastly, of the 16,4S5 Europeans in Morocco, only 1'e'i are German according to the latest official figures available. This number relay possibly have increased by now ;er 300 or 350. It is clear, therefore, that Germany's important economic interests in Morocco have no existence in fact. Germany's real interests in Morocco are territorial, polit- ieal and siratagetical. By touching the button in Morocco Germany can al any moment produce a revolt In the neighboring Algeria and throw France into convulsions. From Morocco sire can threaten the great ; trade routes and Gibraltar, anil conr- j pel Great Britain to divide her naval Merries. Germany's establishment in Morocco means her permanent domination nf Prance, and an ever-present danger to British trade and com- '■ nret'ee. "Last inn nol least," ire continues, ;"thc future greal unite to the Far ', Fast by way of the Panama Canal, which may become the greatest trade route of all, would pass by Agadtr, and that port would Ire a most ex- cellenl base whence to attack tire United States in their mosl vulnerable spols: the Panama Canal and the American war harbors in the Antilles protecting it." Although German longing for an extension of her European, military empire in South America lends some plausibility to tire- suggestion last named, it will disappear when subjected to closer reflection. Whatever their emperor's ambition should lead the German forces to attempt in Africa, it. may be confidently predicted that, except as professional men, bankers, merchants and artisans, they will never cross the Atlantic Ocean.

THE WAR CLOUD B Less than a fortnight ago there was not a cloud on the horizon as far as relations between Italy and Turkey were concerned. Today a state of war exists, and Italy's actions betray the fact that the whole matter has been given very careful consideration, troops held In readiness and ships coaled and in commission for war service. No country can mobilize on a war footing in a fortnight, and yet not a whisper of Italy's preparations appeared in the newspapers less than a fortnight ago. Turkey is caught absolutely by surprise. She has made no preparation to resist the Italian occupation of Tripoli, and her fleet, such as It is, was being reorganized by British officers and cruising peacefully at sea. The whole situation is enveloped in mystery, and itaiy's explanations let in no light on the affair. Curiously enough, the .Moroccan negotiations between France and uerniany had again assumed a threatening appearance a fortnight ago. Germany was anxious for further concessions, so it was said. France stood her ground, and then Germany explained that its new note embraced only one or two little matters regarding economic details. Al Hie same time Great Britain rushed between 15,000 and 20,000 tons of the best steam coal from Cardiff to Scotch ports by rail instead of by sea, which was considered a significant move. On tile Brink of War- The .Morocco negotiations have been dragging on indefintely now for some three months. Europe has been the brink of war, not once or twice, but all the time, and yei whenever the limit of French patience was reached German would "officially" explain that the delay was merely owing to the wording of a sentence or a difference as to the meaning of a word. It was obvious to the meanest intellect that from the very beginning Great Britain would stand by- France in this question and that Germany stood to gain nothing of great value by prolonging the negotiations. It was also plain that under the circumstances Germany did not want to fight Great Britain and France combined, although, if she were able able to separate them she might have risked a war with France. Her whole policy seemed to be directed towards separating the two nations under one pretext or another. Carefully Planned Coup A careful explanation of the conditions leading up to Italy's sudden action irresistibly leads to the conclusion that the declaration of war was determined on some time ago. Turkey was never given a chance to reply to Italy's conditions, wliich were in themselves outrageous. Turkey was asked to consent to an Ital- ion occupation of Tripoli and given twenty-four hours in which to reply. At once Turkey appealed to her friend Germany, and Germany "officially" used all. her powers to dissuade Italy from taking such precipitate action. But Italy calmly ignored all the representations of her ally, and proceeded to take action. She refused lo give Turkey any time whatsoever in which to consult other powers interested; Obviously Italy must have informed her partners in the Triple Alliance of her inter'ions long before she took action. Her action in Tripoli is exactly on a par with Austria's high handed action over Bosnia and Herzegovina. Turkey had to acquiesce or else fight Austria, which she was absolutely unable to do. In Bosnia and Herzegovina, the German emperor stood beside his Austrial ally in "shining armor" when Russia asked questions. Today it is hardly possible to avoid the conclusion that he stands beside Italy, "blazing sword in hand." The only question remaining is at what price? Cementing the Triple Alliance Has the German emperor replied tie lire "entente cordlale" by firmly cementing the Triple Allance and deliberately helped to plan the present coup in Tripoli, just as lie deliberately helped Austria to Bosnia and Herzegovina? The conclusion is natural and consistent with Germany's policy of reforming the Holy Roman Empire with the Prussian king at its head. When Austria occupied Bosnia and Herzegovina there was every chance of a blaze in the Balkans. Today, now that Italy has actually declared war, there is still more chance anil to put that blaze out it is almost certain thai Austria will feel called upon to take action. Again, Russia may protest and again the "shining armor" appears. If Russia lines not protest there is only Greal Britain concerned, for French Interests seem lo ire practically untoilched. The scheme was worthy 'if Macht- avelli. With France and Great Britain separated on a Macedonion question, Morocco disappears in smoke, for Germany has no real interests there, and Great Britain is left single handed against the Triple Alliance, to one of whom, Ita'y, she is bound by ties of friendship. Under the circumstances it is difficult to define Britisii interests in the Balkans and it would be olmost impossible to stir France to sufficient enthusiasm to resist German and Austrian aggression in the Balkan's merely for the sake of Great Britain's trade route to the east. What Will France Do?, Tliree months ago the question of whether Great Britain would stand by France was paramount. That question was answered in no uncertain tone. Now will France stand witli Greal Britain in the new international situation created so suddenly by Italy? And if France determines to stand witli Greal Britain wil1 Russia stand to her alliance with France? if the tliree nations of the "entente" can be- put into die position of supporting a non-Christian nation, that for- years lias governed .Macedonia atrociously, against the "Triple AHiance" of Christian nations the sympathy of tlie world will doubtless be on the side of the "Triple Alliance." Tlie advantages of the situation are so obviously in favor of Hie "Triple Alloiance that it is almost impossible to imagine France, Russia or Great Britain raising a finger to save the remaining portions of the Turkish Empire in turope. If Macedonia does not blaze and Turkey concedes Tripoli to Italy without striking a blog, Germany- may be disappointed, but it is obvious that under such circumstances Italy can impose such terms on Turkey as will pay' the price for German support in her African adventure, if such support has been given. o Owner—How did you came to puncture the tire?

PRINCE RUPERT JOURNAL EARLY DAYS IN THE WEST Sir William Whyte, in a lucent interview, indulged In some interesting reminiscences of the en fly days of the C. P. R. "My retiring from active work in connection with the Canadian Pacific Railway," said he, "recalls to mind many incidents of the days of my early connection when the C. P. R. had slowly but surely carved it way across the Canadian West. "I have spoken ill figures of the growth of the west, and the part the Canadian Pacific Railway has played In this growth. And the figures are astounding. But one must forget figures and other prosy data when he wants to go back to the days in the beginning. And In the beginning of tilings with the C. P. R. there were just as many trials and worries and disappointments in the construction camps at the different section houses and anywhere any everywhere along lue line. Always Something New* "It seemed that there was always something new cropping up. The engineers who had the cutting of the mountains for the road were always having worries, real and Imaginary, and there were many councils of war held to discuss the grievance. A vast wilderness bad to be remodelled practically, the Blackfeet Indians had to be pacified and the gangs of men along the line had to be kept in good humor, and this was In the beginning of the C. P. R. It called for a level head, a large heart and a student of human nature to do the nice adjusting of all these difficulties, and Sir William Van Home was the man of the hour who engineered the C.P.R. over so many rough places in its early history. "I consider that it is one of the most lamentable things in the records of the C. P. R. that the history of the construction of tlie road has never been written. "No one knows the human side of the building of the 0. P. R. as does Sir William Van Home, and 1 have asked him many times to take from bis collection of reminiscences all the matter that pertained to this road and the road builders. I am looking forward to the appearance of these reminiscences, as will everyone else > who .has played a part in the upbuilding of tlie west. "Perhaps one of the features of the west that lingers particularly in my mind is the buffalo bone collectors who were scattered all over tlie plains for so many years gathering and burning w 'tie care of prop erty or concern for the comfort of the dwellers of the plains, tlte bones of the king of the wild prairie, the buffalo. "In those days there was no fine for starting prairie fires, and we had many annoying setbacks in constructing parts of the road as the result of these bone hunters' carelessness. "In talking over tire early history of the country, one hears tlie remark constantly, 'Tlie climate of the west is changing. It is not as cold now as it was thirty years ago, etc' "Well, the climate of this great Western Canada has not changed one iota. Conditions have changed. More land each year is brought under cul- Uivatio'n, houses are built, cities sping up and the hard, frozzen ground is cleared of stubble. "In the building of the road we had trouble off and on witli tramps who come up here from across the line. One particularly hot summer a large gang of these men got out through the west and became such a nuisance that we had to get the Nortinvest Mounted Police to talte a hand in driving them out Of the country. We could bring two charges against them. Stealing a ride on tlie trains was one, and having no visible means of support was another. "Colonel llerchinier was In charge at the time in Reglna, and he sentenced half a dozen of tlie tramps who were brought before him lo long periods of hard labor, and in no time tlie pest disappeared. I have often thought mat the extreme cold of Western Canada has kept out the indolent undesirables from across the line. "There is nothing I enjoy more " continued Sir William, "than to sit down and go back to the west—the days when the C. P. R. had to struggle to meet its nay day, and when the temperament of its construction engineers hat! to be nurtured like a hothouse plant. And as I look back and recall the struggles and the troubles averted, I feel that to have helped even in a small way was a privilege and an honor. "We have a great empire here in the west, in its infancy even today." o The Journal (twice a week), only $2.00 a year. STOPS COINING United States Government Will Cense From Minting Gold for the Next Twenty Years Uncle Sam has a billion dollars in gold in his coffers, and he will coin no more of the precious metal for twenty years. This is the reason why- some of the mints are closed and the output of others restricted. The new policy of issuing certificates against bullion has already saved the government a large sum; morover, the people prefer paper money to coin. As bullion is used for export, tlie mints are now running off only silver coins and pennies. The United States buys gold at the rale of $120,000,000 a year, so that when it is time for him to begin anew tbe coining on the yellow metal the States will have close to three and a half billions on hand. And that is a sum that any one of us would be proud to possess. o Helping Fatner A preacher! raising his eyes from his desk in the midst of his sermon, was paralyzed with amazement to see his small son in the gallery pelting his hearers In the pews below with horse chestnuts. But while the good man was preparing a frown of reproof, the young hopeful cried out: "You 'tend to your preaching, daddy! I'll keep 'em awake."

Trade Magazine Tells What Has Been Done in Other Places (o Work Improvements The Canadian Industrial Review, In its last number, contains an article dealing with the improving of a small municipal lighting plant, which maybe of interest locally. It reads as follows: Recent observation of tlie operating conditions in a number of small power plans suggests that the prac- . tice of such stations must be brought Into harmony with methods founds successful in large installations, if present sources of waste and inefficiency are to be removed. While it may be necessary to avoid the refinements which frequently produce record figures in large stations, enough of their methods remains to enable substantial savings to he gained under skilled engineering treatment. A recent investigation of the municipal lighting plant at Marblehead, Mass., by C. W. Whiting of Boston indicates certain lines of attack wliich not a few stations of small capacity might follow advantageously to secure greater service reliability and lower generating and distributing expenses. It is well to bear in mind that however satisfactory a plant may be as a mere source of current, close attention must be paid to the technical features of its administration and development if anything like acceptable service is to be expected. The Marblehead station was found to have boilers of excellent type for the service required, the installation being a horizontal return tubular one without enough capacity to permit rettention of one boiler as a spare unit. Sources of inefficiency in the operation of the boiler plant were the presence of scale in considerale quantities; failure to check the weight of coal purchased or burned; absence of analyses of the feed water, and lack of means of measuring the quantity of water used by the boilers. With one boiler lying idle, the normal capacity available was equivalent to 444 k.w. at the switchboard with Hie present arrangement of the station. The maximum load on the station last year was 340 k.w. It was shown that an open-feed-water heater would assist in the removal of scale forming material, and that tlie use of a separate meter for boiler feeding would enable the performance of the boilers to be scrutinized effectively. In place of a fireman's estimate of tlie coal consumption during twenty-four hours, in eight of which he is on duty, regular weighing was shown to be imperatively necessary for definitely successful operation, The engines in the station were found to he well designed, well constructed and in good condition, with a combined normal capacity of 363 horsepower. Both were connected to a line shaft by belting, and one was operated non-condensing, developing 138 horsepower at the flywheel. The second unit was a cross-compound condensing outfit rated at 225 horsepower rt the flywheel. The belts and shafting absorbed about 30 horsepower, and at the peak of the yearly load the engines were run at 51,6 per cent overload. There was no reserve, and If either unit had been shut down during the peak, the town would have been In comparative darkness. The generators consisted of eight dynamos of assorted types and sizes, only one machine being of the standard 2,800-VOlt, three-phase, 60-cycle design now common in central station work. The direct current arc machines used in the plain were found to ire worth little more than their scrap value, being obsolete In type, Inefficient and badly depreciated, witli hand regulation. Such equipment jcapardi/.ed the service by Its retention, Although there was sufficient dynamo capacity in the plant to handle with airy degree of flexibility on account of their character and the shaft drive. The switchboard was also to be found in need of remodelling, there being seven panels of five different types In its composition. To secure better results It was pointed out that the three watt- hour meters installed should Ire placed where easier reading could he effected; thai a watt-hour meter on the street lighting circuit would be useful, and improved wiring on the rear of the board advantageous. The street lighting was found to be very unsatisfactory, with unsteady and poorly distributed units. It wns found that by the use of so-called dlreci current metallic arcs, with mercury arc rectifiers, a total saving of $1,640 a year could be made in the operation of the street lighting system, giving much better lighting than at present. Tungsten incandescent lamps were advised for supplementary service on the streets. Improvement in the methods of keeping the station records and In tlie complete tabulation of data called for on the blanks was also emphasized as necessary to the best service. The plant kept no record of the amount of cylinder and lubricating oil, or the temperature of its feed water. Tlie total estimated cost of currenr al the switchboard, including interest and depreciation on the cost of tbe equipment, but not on the cosl of tho land and buildin was 3.67 cents per k.w. hour for last year. By making changes in the equipment and adding two small steam turbines, at a total eost of about $2S,uoo, it is estimated thai the current can be furnished at 8.10 cents, a saving of r 5 1-2 per cent. o Road ami Trail Work Gravelling has been completed on Eighth Street at Stewart and tlie clearing away of the big stumps on Vancouver from Fifth to Ninth is a'so done. This street will only need a surface dressing of gravel to make it one of the best in the town. Work has been delayed somewhat on that portion of tlie main Bear River wagon road around Muddy- Gulch, where a high trestle bridge is Hearing com- pletltion. On the Stewart-Portland City pack trail the road gang has about finished decking and the trail will be ready next week. This last piece of work will be of extreme benefit to those operating up the Salmon River as a pack outfit can be loaded up here and taken direct to the head of the valley. o ' WILL WORK ALL WINTER Several of the Mines at Stewart Camp Will Keep Up Operations Until Spring Fully a half score of mines will be undergoing development this winter, and of these at least three will be outputting to the smelters, says the Portland Canal Miner, referring to the Stewart camp. Work at the present time is being actively carried on at the following properties: Northern Terminus, Portland Bear-River, Red Cliff, Crown, Bitter Creek, Stewart, Ben Bolt and Portland Canal up the main Bear River and the Salmon-Bear River, Cascade Mining Co., Indian Mines and Bruggy group at the Salmon River. The Portland Canal will contribute heavy shipments of silver-lead concentrates, and It is safe to predict that the Northern Terminus mine will send out several shipments of high grade silver ore. This last property is now being opened up with a view to placing it in the producing class early in the winter, and a trail is being finished to permit the raw-hiding of the ore down to the railway at Red Cliff. Recent months have seen a marked interest awaken both locally and on the outside in the possibilities of the Salmon River section of the district. Early In the summer the Indian Mines started operations and were shortly followed by the Salmon-Bear River Mining Co. The opening up of immense surface veins of galena ore, measuring from fifteen to twenty-five feet in size, caused a stampede of prospectors and among those who were fortunate in locating good showings was George Bruggy. His property is now under a working bond. Tlie Dilworth & Bunting group lias been taken over by a Victoria company and permanent development is under way. Other properties, such as the Hercules group, and the Big Missouri group, both owned locally, have immense showings, and there are a score of other claims that justify the expenditure of capital. Those who have examined the camp freely state that It has all the ear-marks of becoming another Coerir d'Alene—the greatest silver- lead camp yet opened on the continent—and if I heir surmises are correct It is safe to say that Stewart will, next spring, become the centre of world-wide attraction for its galena mineral possibilities. o ■ George Ado was talking at a June wedding In Chicago about matrimony. "Matrimony is perhaps a little too much idealized," he said. "These June brides, radiant under the white veils in a glitter of June sunshine, seem capable of changing enrth into heaven, but as a matter of fact they are not capable of anything of the sort. , "1 am in hearty sympathy with Old Brown, lo whom young Black said at a wedding: " 'A good wife can make a veritable angel of a man.' " 'Yes, that's so,' old Brown agreed. 'My wife came near making one of me with her first batch of doughnuts,' " THE OMINECA MINES Indications Point to an Active Period on the Hydraulic Properties of North. Those Interested In the Interior Holdings Have Made Arrangements for Plants There is every indication that the Omineca gold district is again to come into prominence far exceeding the interest manifested in it in the early days when there was a rush to these fields. At that time the difficulties in reaching the country were much greater than at present. The Huderle—Otterson syndicate with whom are interested some local men, seems to have a very good season's work. The Omineca Miner of Hazelton says with respect to the year's work as follows: The attention of the mining world will be directed anew to the Omineca River placer district as a result of the developments of the present season. One of the most important enterprises in connection with the revival of mining activity in this famous camp is that undertaken by the Hud- erle-Otterson Company, a syndicate of mining men which owns leases covering all the unworked portion of Manson Creek as far as working is practicable. In the days of "hand mining," when the Omineca placers contributed many millions to the world's wealth, Manson was the bonanza creek of the camp, and now that conditions favor the installation of plants to work the ground which the individual miners were unable to exploit, it is certain that the creek will,return handsome profits. John Huderle and George W. Otterson accompanied by Harry Walker, have returned from their field of operations, after bringing to a successful conclusion the preliminary work which was their season's task. When interviewed by the Miner they were most enthusiastic as to conditions in the Omineca diggings. Mr. otterson states that their three half- mile leases show about tliree million cubic yards of pay gravel, which will yield big dividends even on the large capital it has been necessary to invest in plant and development. The season's work consisted of diverting the main creek, improving the ditch, and installing the hydraulic elevator, in addition to fixing up pipe lines, building cabins, and other necessary work. It was found that bedrock was from 12 to 16 feet deep. The absence of drainage and copious subterranean flow flow make the preliminary work a matter of difficulty. This has been overcome, and everything is in readiness for the beginning of actual mining in the spring. For the first ninety days the elevator alone will be used. By that time the workings will be in condition for the Installation of an open lift, which will handle 500 yards of ground every twenty-four hours. The company has one of the best water powers in the country, has plenty of supplies and provisions in store, and the management is looking forward to a highly profitable year. Prospecting shows that the gold Is all of the "shot" variety, and is quite coarse, being thus easily- saved. We have Mr. Otterson's word that the ground prospected carries from one to seven dollars to the yard. Messrs. Huderle and Otterson state that during the season a number of excellent quartz veins were found in the vicinity of Manson Creek, and exhibit fine specimens of galena ore in corroboration. They will leave for the outside on the next steamer, expecting to return in time to take the toboggan trail to the creek next spring. o Philip Nichols, charged with raising money by tlie raising of cheques, has been remanded until tomorrow.
