Con- Bartenders May be Licensed in the City—ICi vision of City Regulations The police commissioners seem moved now to live closer to their duties and insist upon the enforcement of the laws against Illicit selling of liquor. The bylaw of the city dealing with licenses will be generally overhauled and made to conform to the provincial act more closely. Aid. Mobley explained at the council last evening that the bylaw as it stood was unworkable and would have to be generally revised to bring It Into shape. The question came up on a letter from the chief of police, who forwarded a bylaw of the 'city of New Westminster dealing with the licensing of bartenders and suggesting such a course here. It was pointed out that by this course the police would be better able to enforce the laws. They would have a grip upon the bars making the sellers of liquor more careful in the performance of their work. It also made it easier to trace up money lost by intoxicated men. His worship said he felt that the bar tenders should be made responsible for preventing minors being in the bars. He had seen youngsters in the bars selling papers, etc., that should not have been there. Aid. Pattullo moved that this be referred to the police commissioners. Aid: Mobley said he felt that there were bylaws, including the license bylaw, which were practically unworkable at present. In order to enforce the bylaws these should be amended and put In workable condition. Aid. Hilditch wanted to know in what respect the license bylaw was defective. Aid. Mobley said that the provincial act speclflcially specified in most of its sections that this did not apply /to Incorporated cities. The bylaws were so hastily drawn up that they were defective insofar as being operative. He thought tiie solicitoi could very well redraft the bylaw now. o MUSKEG DISPOSAL Capt. McCoskrie is Agreeable to Make Arrangements for Taking to Sea. ENGINEER'S ABSENCE Col. Davis Will Leave For the East to Give Expert Evidence in Case He Has Proposition Relative to Getting Rid of Garbage as Well Capt. McCoskrie has a proposal for the city council looking fo the disposal of garbage and even muskeg taken from building lots. He has his proposition to the council which in effect is that he has a tug and will, if favorable arrangements can be made, build scows oponing In the bottom and thus tow the garbage, muskeg, etc., out to sea. The only arrangement that would have to he made would be for some wharfage quarter for dumping Into the scows. The letter of Capt. McCoskrie was read last night and a report of the engineer who seemed to favor owning scows by the city and against towing muskeg out , Aid. Mobley said that the letter of Capt. McCoskrie was received by him after the last meeting. He had referred it to the city engineer direct. The report of the engineer was referred to the Health committee. MARINE NOTES The D.G.S. Quadra, Capt. Hackett, called here today for supplies. The Venture was in last night with freight. She left for Goose Bay late In the evening. The Senator, which called here yesterday southbound, was two days later than schedule time owing to having to call In at so many canneries and small ports for fish and freight. She was also delayed at the wharf yesterday for sometime owing to the non-arrival of a customs officer. Owing to the necessity of his leaving to appear as an expert witness in a law suit in Guelph, Ont., Col. Davis, the city engineer, will find it necessary to leave on a month's vacation before the end of the month. A letter was received from the engineer at last evening's council meeting setting forth his wish to be relieved of duty. He stated be would return before the end of the year. He will forfeit his salary while absent. Aid. Lynch explained that at first it had been thought that it would not be possible to dispense with the engineer's services as desired. The ease was a very important one and required his presence. Now the work was in such shape that he could leave without interfering with the city's business to any great extent. Leave was granted. —o— DELIGHTFUL DANCE Kaien Island (Tub Again Proved its Social Qualities The Kaien Island club is becoming more and more recognized as occupying a front place among the social organiaztions of the city. Last night a very enjoyable dance was given by them in the elub quarters, and was very well attended by the members and their lady friends. The dance given last evening was the third that has been held by the club and was quite as successful as the others. •The floor was in excellent shape for dancing, and the music, which was furnished by Grey's orchestra, was, hs usual, of the finest quality. One of the main features of the dance was the moonlight effect, which was produced by a very clever arrangement of lights. There were three moon dances given in which all the lights were turned off except the light referred to, which produced a very pretty effect. Light refreshments were provided by some of the ladies who have been taking a particular interest in tho club, owing to the ladies' athletic association, which has been organized there. The' dance broke up at the hour of one, with everybody pronouncing it one of the greatest successes of the club's undertaking.

Aid. Hilditch said that the committee regretted its being impossible to find a (lumping place r>"-rer in than this. There was nothing nearer at the present time than this. While it would be a burden on the builders it was impossible to do otherwise. The report was adopted, it being inserted in the motion that no charge be made for dumping, at the suggestion of Aid. Lynch. POSTPONE EXECUTION Cunner Allen in Victoria is Granted Un ' til February to Allow Settling Legal Points. Question as to Whether There Shall be Retrial Will be Decided When Chief Justice Returns A FATAL ACCIDENT One of Ballasting Gang on Line of G. Dies From Injuries. T.P. Tw*( Others Are Hurt And Are Brought Into City to be Taken Care of Last evening, in an accident caused by two hand cars on the line of the G.T.P. bumping into each other, Tom Neklch, engaged in one .of the ballasting gangs, met his death. His body was brought to the city today. Two others engaged In the same work, who were with him on the car, were Injured and have been brought to the hospital here where they are being attended to. One had his leg broken, while the other suffered Injuries through striking his head. They will both recover. In connection with the accident there seems to have been no blame attaching to the company In any way. Three hand cars are used by the men In this particular ballasting gang and the instructions are In going to work or returning from it to the bunk cars at the siding, to travel in such manner as to never approach nearer than fifty feet from one another. In this case, while returning from work last evening, the rear car seems to have attempted to hurry the next one preceeding It, and bumped Into it. Three of the men on the car struck were thrown off. One, Tom Neklch, striking his head, apparently, and stunning himself. He was struck by the following car and so seriously injured that he died a short time afterwards. The other two men escaped with Injuries as described. .awaiting the return of the coroner, J. H. McMullin, from Stewart, it will not be decided what will be done in the way of an inquest. (Special to The Journal) Victoria, Nov. 25.—The execution of Gunner Allen, convicted of the murder of Capt. Elliston, has been postponed from December until February 2. A stay of execution was granted by Mr. ustice Clement upon application of Frank Davie, the Victoria lawyer defending the prisoner. This has been granted pending the return of Chief Justice Hunter, the trial judge, when an application will be made for permission to apply to the court of appeal for retrial on the grounds of the introduction of inad- missable evidence by the crown prosecutor.' INSURANCE RATIOS Complaint Made Against System Em- ployed for City Employees The proposition of ' the finance committee of the city council made through the chairman, A!J. Pattullo, at the Monday evening sitting relative to the placing of insurance, does not meet with the aprpoval of some other Insurance representatives. Aid. Pattullo stated at the previous meeting that the Mack Realty company had made a very reduced rate, quoting two per cent. At. last evening's meeting Peck, VOTING ON SCOTT ACT (Special to The Journal) Victoria, Nov. 25.—Voting on the Scott Act in Prince Ru- per and Chilliwack has been fixed for December 21. ,1. Lome MacLaren has been named as returning officer at Prince Rupert. The result of the poll will be declared at 10 a.m. on December IC. Moore & Co., wrote, stating that they considered that it was only fair that the. other oempanies should have been given a chance to do business it the council was to decide upon this course. Their firm, representing tin, Maryland Casualty Company, had is- sured all the contractors on city work and had written up more than all the other firms combined. Other representations have been made showing that there are other firms who regularly charge two per cent so that some mistake must havo arisen In the matter. No action has been taken in the matter.

Question of Lis'.1- lies Not Yet Been Fully Settled by (lie Authorities A change has been made in the date upon which the Scott Act will be voted upon here. Instead of the vote being taken on December 22nd as has been previously announced it will be brought in eight days sooner, namely on Wednesday, December 14. The returning officer, Mr. MacLaren Is now busy getting arrangements made for the election. The change of date came somewhat as a surprise to many in the city interested in the contest. The former date, December 22, was the original recommendation of the Liberal association of tlie city, which body was asked to made a recommendation. Apparently ii was found advisable, to alter the date, however, and accordingly the new date has been fixed. The question of the lists is still a somewhat uncertain proposition, and correspondence is understood to lie passing between Prince Rupert and Ottawa on this very point. The Dominion lists, it is understood, are to be used, but a difficulty has arisen as to what list tliis will be. It would not be a representative vote were the lists used at the last Dominion election made applicable. The returning officer will probably use the latest provincial list as a basis upon which to proceed, but Just exactly how the voting list will be prepared is not yet made public. o—-—■—— WANT MORE LUMBER City Council Will Ask foi- Tenders for Supplying Two Million Feet The city will call for tenders for supplying two million feet of lumber. The engineer reported Inst evening In favor of this course He explained that over 1,377,000 feet of lumber had been already provided for the contracts let or to be called for. Aid. Lynch said that a million nnd [ a quarter of lumber would be required, There was also that needed J lor repairs. By the time tliis was required to, be paid for they would i have another year's assessment, to draw on. He moved that they call for tenders for at least half a mil- j lion. Aid. Pattullo wanted to know If the engineer's estimates for street work did not include the cost of the lumber. Receiving an affirmative reply, it was decided to call for tenders. —.—o Miss Renwick, mice of Mr. and Mrs. C. B. Lockhart, is spending a few weeks in the city. MAYORALTY CONTSST Speculation i; Rife 'With Respect ProbtbleCandidates at Forth- coming Election to o- Stork Again Expected to Run —William Manson Will Be Asked Also The approach of the time when the electors will be called upon to decide upon who shall represent ihem in ihe city council next year, is giving rise to considerable speculation in the matter of candidates. It is generally taken for granted that Mayor Stork will again offer himself although he lias made no definite announcement outside up to the present. In some cjuarters ii is believed that the mayor may nol be the candidate, but may make way for ither Aid. Pattullo or for Aid. Mobley. Outside oflthose at present in the council ill" name of William Man- son is again spoken of. nnd n petition, it is understood, Is being circulated lo ask Mm to run for mayor. .Mr. Manson is out of the city Ibis week so that nothing can lie learned as io whether he will be willing to accept nomination or not. Il is presumed that on his return he will be asked to enter the contest, when a derision will be reached. Quite a number of other names are being mentioned on the street as probable candidates, but apparently the persons referred to have in most of cases not been seriously approached on the subject.

VICTORIA'S BYLAWS Proposition to Acquire Esquimalt Works Meets With Defeat (Special to Tin.

Chamberlin, vie president .will general manager of the G.T.P., with headquarters in Winnipeg, paid a hurried visit to Prince Rupert this week, coming in on the Bteamer Prince Rupert on Wednesday and immediately afterwards leaving with 11. 1!. Kelliher, the chief engineer, and W. C. C. Mehan, general superintendent, for "the front." The object of the nip was in order to see for himself the actual condition of affairs at the close of the con- Btruction season. Mr. Chamberlin lias been visiting all the various points where work has been in progress and wished to inspect the first 100 miles on the Pacific coast. Seen last evening on his return from ills trip to the end of the line,, (he general manager, who is regarded as one of the most practical railway men in the country, said he was well pleased witli the way in which the work has been done and spoke in an appreciative way of Mr. Me- han's work; but he added by way of an aside, "I only wish there had beeD more done." This, of course, meant no reflection upon Mr. Mehan, who lias laid the truck to the end of the grade prepared for him. The road as far as laid he found in excellent shape and very satisfactory. He w-as assured that the tunnels just beyond the 100 mile point would be completed so as to allow an early start, in the spring at track- laying and if this were done and other necessary work prepared ahead of them by the contractors, there would be ai. early start, at construction when the spring opened. Asked as to fir'ther contracts beyond Aldermere, Mr. Chamberlin Bald the company had not yet let any section. It was, in fact, lo be Inferred from what be said that this might be delayed some little time, I'ntil the line was constructed to Aldermere, supplies could not be got in in any event so thai there was no immediate need of haste in Idling Ihe next section of the work. Mr., Chamberlin lefl for the south last evening on bis return trip. Mr. Mehan, when questioned with regard to the initiation of a mixed service on the first one hundred miles said thai lie could noi well say d finitely just when it would start. The weather was keeping favorable for ballasting along the line yet, but there wns always danger of a heav; frost that would Inconvenience them. Capt. Nicholson, manager of the steamship service, nnd Mrs. Nicholson, came north on the trip. Mr. Chamberlin on on arrival here Wednesday before leaving for "hi Hie line" stilted as follows respecting the object of his visit. "The object of my trip to the const at this time is final in. ,-crtion for the year of Ihe various works which we are carrying on at Prince Rupert, Vancouver, Victoria and Seattle. My visit here lias nothing to do with the assessment question; that matter Ib- under discussion between the mayor and council and Presldenl Hays, I do nol care to say anything on that point. "I am going directly through » i," end of track near Kitselas. nnd will inspect tbe tunnel work just beyond the end of track, and discuss anything of Importance relative to construction wesl of here with General Superintendent Mehan. The tunnel work, as well as all other work, from Kitselas io Aldermere, will be carried on vigorously during the present winter, and wc hope to lie able to lay track as far as the crossing of the Skeena River jusl south of Hazelton in tiie early spring. "I came west by the way of Edmonton, and went to thee nd of track which Is now about 200 miles west from Edmonton, nnd from there drove over the right of way as far as.

Friday, November 25, 1910 HECATE STRAITS Question of Jurisdiction Over the Fishing in These Waters Will Probably be Raised. Seattle Paper Takes Ground That the Canadians Cannot Establish Claim The increasing importance of the fisheries of the north which have i their banks for a great part in Hecate ; Straits is bringing the question of jurisdiction over that body of water] into increasing importance. it is fell thai the time cannot long be extended before a properly constituted tribunal. Some years ago Prof. Price of the Dominion Fshlng Department put forth the claim that Hecate Straits should be regarded as Canadian waters instead of waters open to the world. There are others who hold similar opinions. There is the tact that the Queen Charlotte Islands are regarded as a part of British Columbia and it is scarcely right to regard the separating water as nol Canadian waters. Some have felt that the recent decision of the Hague tribunal had decided this point in view of the fact that a bay was very exactly defined. It is questionable, however, whether that decision would have sufficient bearing on the point iu question as to decide the matter. The Pacific Fisherman, published in Seattle, deals with that decision from the standpoint of the United States' claim of an open water. Quoting the decision of the Hague Tribunal, it follows it with its interpretation in the matter as affecting Hecate Straits, u says as follows:— Tribunal's Finding Question Five—From where must be measured the three marine miles of any of the coasts, bays, creeks or harbors referred to in said article? Answer—The Tribunal decides and awards that in the case of bays, the three marine miles are to be measured from a straight line drawn across the body of water at the place where it ceases to have the configuration and characteristics of a bay. At all other places the three marine miles are to be measured following the sinuosities of the coast. Now this Tribunal hereby recommends for the consideration and acceptance of the high contracting parties the following rules and methods of (procedure for determining the limits of the bay hereinbefore enumerated:— (1) In every bay not hereinafter provided for, the limits of exclusion shall be drawn three miles seaward from a straight line across the bay in the part nearest the entrance at the first point wheret he width does not, exceed ten miles. (2) In the following bays, where the configuration of the Coast and the local climatic conditions are such that the foreign fishermen when within the geographical headlines might reasonably and bona fide believe themselves on the high seas, the limits of exclusion shall be drawn in each case between the headlands hereinafter spcified as being those at and within which such fishermen might be reasonably expected to recognize the bay under average conditions. American View While the decision of Point Five of The Hague Fisheries Tribunal In favor of Great Britain is looked upon as being a victory for the Canadians, and while in many ways it is a disadvantage to the American fishing interests on the Atlantic Coast, it may not be looked upon as a distinct loss for the American halibut fishermen of the Pacific, only inasmuch as that, had the American contentions been sustained, the Hecate Straits controversy would have been settled In their favor for all times, while as the matter stands It may some day be brought up for further arbltra-l tion. From this derision the interests of British Columbia had hoped to gain a precedenl upon which to base their i oft mooted claim thai Hecate strait was Canadian water and could and should be closed to American fishermen. When advices of the decision were al hand a month ago and it was staled that Great Britain had won Point Five, the Canadians papers wire jubilant, and many of them, without waiting to see the full extent of the decision, issued forth ln long editorials exulting over the victory which had been won and stating that it was of significance to both roasts, for it now gave Canada an opportunity to hold unto herself her valuable halibul fisheries which had been long drained by the operations of American fishermen, But these papers failed to reckon with the full text of the decision. Is Not Applicable The Pacific Fishermen believes that there is nothing in the above answer to question five upon which the Canadian fishermen could base a claim that Hecate Strait is territorial water. In the first plate, the question does not deal with straits or sounds or inland seas and therefore does not affect Hecate Strait in one way or the other. In the second place granting that Heca'.e Strait is a bay and could be thus brought undet the terms of the d":n )i, attention is called to the map showing the dl mensions of this enormous body of water and establishing in figures the very ab:i irdity of the claim that this great expanse can ne considered any- thlui but .ipi-ii sea. interaction? ond eoen to the lifleimen of -ill ni'iois. Hecate Strait at its narrowest point which is from Rose Point, the Northernmost circuity of Graham Island, to Stephens Island,' in the archipelago bordering the mainland, is thirty miles of absolutely unbroken water. Measuring from the same point on Graham Island, Io a point south of Port Simpson, the strait is fully fifty miles wide at its narrowest point from the Queen Charlotte Islands to the mainland. In its middle reaches, the narrowest point occurs from Kelp Point on Banks Island on the east shore across to the point north of Cumshowa Inlet on Moresby Island, a distance of approximately thirty-two miles. From Prevost Island, at the southern extremity of the Queen Charlottes across to Aristazable Island near the mainland, the distance is seventy-eight miles. From Cape Scott, on the northern extremity of Vancouver Island, to Capt St. James, the southern extremity of the Queen Charlottes, the distance Is 137 miles of practically unbroken water. Yet it has been this vast body of water, defined on the North by a line drawn from Rose Point to Stephens Island, a distance of 30 miles, and on the soutii by a line from Cape Scott to Cape St. James, a distance of 137 miles, that the interests in British Columbia who have been playing a game of politics to shut out American enterprise and reserve these great fisheries for the benefit of one or two great corporations, have been claiming as strictly Canadian water, within the jurisdiction of that country and not open to the fishermen of outside nations. The first paragraph of the answer to Point Five states that the three marine miles are to be measured from a straight line drawn across the body of water at the place where it ceases to have the configuration and characteristics of a bay. At all other places the three miles are to be measured following the sinuosities of the coast. Save for small indentions on the coast of Queen Charlotte Islands, which are only tributary arms, there is no place in all Hecate Strait where it. has any of the characteristics of a bay. This is absolutely determined by the next paragraph of the decision which lays out the rules for determining the limits of the bays, which states tat the limits of exclusion shall be drawn three miles eastward from a tslraight line across the bay in the part nearest the entrance at the flrst point where the width does no exceed ten miles. In all of Hecate strait there is no point such as this that could be drawn from headland 'to headland or from shore to shore that would enable the Canadians to claim that any portion of the main body of water is territorial or anything but international. There are a few bays on the coast of the Queen Charlotte Islands and perhaps a few on the east shore of the strait that might come within this ruling, but these are, In the main, so small that they would become territorial almost by the use of the three mile limit exclusion alone. So far as Hecate Strait proper Is concerned, It Is the opinion of this paper that there Is nothing In this decision upon which a ruling closing Hecnte Strait to outside fishermen could he based. The paper is supported in tills view by Dorr & Hndley of Seattle and other well-known legal authorities on fisheries and International law. PROSPEROUS LAND Campbell Sweeney of Bank of Montreal Talks to the Easterners. He Tells of the Wealth of British Columbia and the Questions Grappled With iMr. Campbell Sweeny, manager of the Bank of Montreal in Vancouver who was at the head office yesterday, en route for New York, and'thence to Great Britain, announces that the financial situation is so bright in British Columbia that the government has a surplus equal to eight million dollars, says the Montreal Gazette. On the 1st of August, 1887, the Bank of Montreal opened a branch in Vancouver, a lot being purchased from the C.P.R., measuring 7a by 120 feet, the sum paid being about $3,200. "And what do you estimate its value today?" the manager was asked. After figuring a little, Mr. Sweeny replied that lite lot as flrst purchased without any building would be worth today a quarter of a million, and this is about the ratio of progress in the business and financial district of the chief city of the coast provinces. The manager remarked that when he first went to Vancouver Sir William Van Home said to him that the people claim four thousand of a population, but he did not believe it, yet today there are* 125,000 people in the city of Vancouver and sixteen banks to do the business. As for the province, Mr. Sweeny said that he thought the finances were being conducted on conservative lines, and although the new finance minister had recently sailed for England, there was certainly no question of borrowing money abroad. He thought, however, that Premier McBride would spend a good deal of this surplus in building wagon roads throughout the country, which were so much needed in opening up the interior of the province. This the banker thought would be a wise policy and one that would commend itself to the people of the constituencies. Mr. Sweeny believes the contract entered into between the government of the province and the Canadian Northern is a pretty good one and the money to be spent by that company, both on the main line and on Vancouver Island, would be beneficial to the province at large. Speaking of the flourishing stat« of the provincial finances, Mr. Sweeny said that this has been brought about by the success attending the sale of government lots at Prince Rupert and the great development of the lumber Industry and the consequent forest dues. It has, in fact, been a great item for the government, and, as before intimated, the improved wagon road service of the province will be the result, besides a liberal grant voted for the extension of railways. o THE CRIPPEN TRIAL London Times Makes Reference to Some Features The Britisli Admiralty lins ordered that six battleships of the Royal | Sovereign class, the llrst batch of armored ships laid down under the naval defence act of 1880, are to be partly dismantled and removed to the Motherbank, Splthead, otherwise known as "Rotten Row." They are all at present In the Fourth Division of tbe Home Fleet at Devonport, manned with one-fifth of their full complements. Their names are: Royal Sovereign, Royal Oak, Repulse, Ramllies, Empress of India, Resolution, costing a total of £5,B46,- r.n2. They have a displacement of 14,1."0 tons, their armament consists ul' four 13.6 inch and ten r.-incb nuns, lint from the main turrets the sides forward and nfl are not armored. The trial will long be rememhered for two things, says then Lorido Times, referring to the Crippen trial. It has shown, as no other trial before did, that in the struggle w law against crime justice is now armed with new and formidable weapons. We do not refer merely to the dramatic fact that by means of wireless telegraphy the captain of the Montrose was able in mid-ocean to communicate with the police, so that when the voyage was over Inspector Dew was waiting lo apprehend Clip- pen. Not for the first time have criminals of late found that he world has been clrtually smaller than It was. thai there is ho longer any safe hiding place for fugitives from Justice, toe have chiefly In mind the surgical and medical evidence given at the trial, No one can study it without, being convinced t li nt forensic medicine and kindred branches of knowledge have made great, advances Compare the evidence of the experts as to hyoseiri, the tests of its presence and its action, with that of the experts in another famous case of poisoning, Palmer's case, and it will be seen that prodigious strides have been made. The trial will be memorable, too, for another reason. The man who had committed one of the foulest of murders, and cruelly mutilated the body of his wife, was popular, and to all who knew him he seemed genial and kindly. The coolness which ho showed after he had committed the murder was great; but more marvelous was the calm which he maintained throughout the trial, the demeanor of innocence so counterfeited as to deceive anyone who forgot the evidence, and the imperturbability with which he stood cross-examination and sought to support one falsehood by another. The story disclosed in this trial reveals possibilties in human nature with absolute callousness, a kindliness of disposition, real perhaps of superficial geniality combined within limits, coupled with an Incapacity for pity which the annals of crime have not often equalled. o IMPRESSIONS OF CANADA Mr. Vivian Found no Rule or Organization in Civic Development Henry Vivian, M.P., speaking before a Birlfenhead Liberal association meeting, gave some impressions of his recent visit to Canada, where he studied the conditions of the people in the towns and cities. He said he was surprised at. the entire lack of rule or organization in developing Canadian cities and at the backward state of their municipal life. He came away impressed with the character and business ability of the Grain Growers' association at Winnipeg, and with the fact that they were convinced free traders. He expresesd the conviction from what he saw and heard that protection had nothing whatever to do with the boom of prosperity there, and that Canadians refused to recognize preference in their favor as In any way strengthening their loyalty to the motherland. —o RUIN IN RECIPROCITY There was thorough unanimity of opinion. All the speakers agreed that the present time was a crisis in the affairs of Cape Breton, and that with American coal making the inroads into the Canadian markets that it is now doing, it would be nothing short of ruin for Nova Scotia if the protection of the federal tariff was removed. "Reciprocity in coal would have been a disaster in 1897, but now it would be nothing short of a national calamity," said ex-Mayor Crowe of Sydney, in speaking to the resolution and this was the general keynote of the meeting. "In those days," said Mayor Kelly of North Sydney, "Cape Breton supplied most of the New England markets, for the American mines and systems of transportation were not developed. Now the American producers cannot only take care of their own markets, but are selling a million tons of coal in Italy each year, taking it right past the doors of Britain and other European coal-producing centres. If the Americans can undersell European prices In ■IT . their own markets, what will they do to Canadian operators if the tariff barriers, which alone keep them out of our markets now, are removed?"

Friday, November 25, 1910 PRINCE RUPERT JOURNAL CONSERVE HEALTH Report Upon the Discussion at Convention Held at Ottawa. Dr. Fagan of Provincial Board Deals With the Recommendation Made There Dr. C. J. Fagan has presented the following report to the provincial government on liis recent visit to the Dominion health conference held at Ottawa:— November 17, 1910. The Hon. Dr. Young, Provincial Secretary, Victoria, B.C. Dear Sir:—Acting on your order I left Victoria oh October 4 to attend the Dominion health conference, held in Ottawa on October 12 and 13. The federal government was represented by Mr. .Montizambert, direc- tor-gneral of public health; Dr. Bryce of the department of the interior; Mr. A. McGill, chief analyst in the" department of inland revenue, and Dr. Drum, from the department of militia. The provinces, with the exception of Quebec, were represented by the secretaries of the provincial boards of health. Dr. R. M. Simpson, president of the Manitoba provincial board of. health, senator from Alberta, and Dr. George 1. Porter, secretary of the Dominion Anti-Tuberculosis society, were also present. Mr. E. B. Osier was chairman of the conference. The meeting was called hy the commission of conservation, of which the Hon. Clifford Sifton is ciiairman. Mr. Oster was in constant attendance at the conference, and the Hon. .Mr. Sifton was present at the opening and conclusion of our meetings. Tbe Hon. Sidney Fisher was present at two of tho meetings, anil gave valuable assistance and advice. At th first meeting, after an address by the Honorable Mr. Sifton, four coinrnntees were appointed, with the object of reporting ou the following questions: — 1. The pollution of waterways; 2. Tuberculosis; 3. Harmonizing of provincial health laws; 4. Formation of a central public health council and the establishment of a national laboratory. Committee No. 1 reported on the pollution of waterways. Tbe need for action in this matter is apparent to al, and calls for no comment from me. I merely beg to draw attention by repeating the recommendation advanced by this committee to the authorities of the different provinces:— "No bylaw providing for the raising of money for the construction, operation or extension of any system of waterworks or common sewer or system of sewerage or sewerage disposal shall be submitted to the votes of the electors by the council of any municipality, until the consnt of the commissioner of public health, or of the provincial board of health, as the case may bo to the proposed con- structlon, operation or extension has been obtained, and the preamble to every such bylaws shall declare that such consent has been duly obtained; no debenture shall be valid if issued under any bylaw passed In contravention of this section." Committee No. 2 reported by pointing out the dreadful devastation to human life by reason of the presence of tuberculosis among our people, and showing how certain lines of action successfully worked towards the final eradication of this disease, and appealed to the federal authorities to give substantial assistance. The Hon. Mr. Fisher, minister of agriculture, was present when this resolution was brought In. Mr. Fisher being asked io give liis views regarding the question expressed himself as being In strong sympathy, but, stated plainly thai the federal government Would not join with the provincial governments in establishing hospitals for consumptives, and explained that any money contributed by the Dominoin government would be so Invested that the government would have complete control over the expenditure. The chairman, Mr. Osier, while expressing himself as not being in sympathy with Mr. Fisher's views, yet urged the committee to adopt such resolutions as would most successfully appeal to the government. The Hon. Mr. Sifton recommended that the federal government be asked to grant or procure large areas of lands ln each of the provinces, these lands to be divided up Into sections In accordance with the use to which they are to be put, and leased to consumptives. This suggestion of Mr. Sifton's was received with strong approval. The Idea is a noble one, and fills the want apparent to everyone taking an interest in this question. Beyond doubt, it is the one link missing in tbe chain of action already adopted in all civilized countries, and if the Dominion ■-'0 ,-ernment act in accordance with tne Hon. Mr. Sifton's suggestion, they will put Canada and our Canadian people in a position to which no other country has been able to attain. Dr. Hodgetttts presented a report on the International commission on bovine tuberculosis. By resolution this report was endorsed. Committee No. 3 brought in a r- port on tbe harmonizing of provincial health laws. This report could hardly be expected to deal definitely with a question of this kind at such short notice as was given them. But on one question the committee felt that they were called to report, and made the following recommendation, which was unanimously adopted:— - "That the vital statistics of each province be placed directly under the supervision of the provincial health authorities of each of the provinces." Committee No. 4, on the establishment of a central public health council and national laboratory, recommended that a meeting of health representatives from every province in Canada be held in Ottawa at least once every year. . On the question of the establishment of a nalional laboratory, it was pointed out that the various sera, vira, vaccines, toxins, antitoxins and other products used in Canada came largely from England, the United States and other foreign countries. As a result the price of these necessary articles is almost prohibitive, and further there is no surety given as to purity or potency. The conference were unanimous regarding the value of this resolution. Many other points outside the mat- ler dealt with by the various committees were discussed during the conference. Attention was called to the quarantine and immigration services. As at present handled, these services are under the charge of two separate and distinct sets of officers. It, has been pointed out that this was not only needlessly extravagant, but was often a hardship and delay to travelers. Medical examination is undergone at the quarantine station, and must, again be submitted to a few hours later at the immigration office. Such action naturally does not appeal to the public, and it was advanced at the conference that experience plainly demonstrated the necessity of placing these services under one head and one medical officer. It was further pointed out that both of these services neglected to report to the provincial boards of health when infectious disease was found to be present among travelers entering the country. It was asked that whenever infectious disease was found to have been present on any boat entering Canada, the provincial boards of health should be so notified and the names and destination of persons entering each province be .submitted. Another question brought before the commission was the want of Information regarding the health conditions of countries having direct Intercourse, personal or business, with Canada. If tliis suggestion is accepted and acted upon, it will be found very useful and helpful to the health authorities in the different provinces. C. ,7. FAGAN, Sec'y. o ■— GREAT INLAND WATERWAY Saskatchewan River to lie Improved From Edmonton to Winnipeg The annual report of the Dominion public works department has been issued, covering the work of the last fiscal year. The department's total expenditure for the year was $11,- 312,865, of which $2,207,238 was on harbors and rivers, $8,669,030 on dredging, and $11,478,SOS on public buildings. The report refers particularly to the survey now under way looking to the establishment of a navigable channel via the North Saskatchewan river from Edmonton to Winnipeg. It declares that with the development of the Saskatchewan Canada would stand unique among the countries of the world in the matter of water transportation. A thirly-foot navigation (soon to be thirty-five) from tiie sea to Montreal, a distance of nearly 1,000 miles; a fourteen-foot channel from Montreal to Fort William, something over 1,200 miles; nine-foot navigation from Winnipeg to Cedar Lake, and from there to the Rocky Mountains four to five foot navigation, over a distance of 1,500 miles, a total of approximately 3,300 miles of actual Inland waterway traversing the greater part of the northern half of this continent, the only break in the chain being 400 miles from Fort William to Winnipeg. NEW IRISH SPIRIT Better Feeling Prevails Among Different Classes in Ireland Now. Respect Shown by Opposite Factions For Feelings of Their Opponents One of the most remarkable pieces of evidence of the disappearance of sectional and religious bitterness in Ireland was furnished at the annual conference of the Protestant Church of Ireland, which was held in Belfast. To begin with the president of the congress, the Right Rev. Dr. Crozier, Bishop of Downs and Connor, referred lo tiie new spirit which lias grown up in Ireland. "Roman Catholics and Protestants" be said, "unite on the platform of various philanthropic and literary associations. "Orange bandsmen on the Twelfth of July silenced the flute and the drum while marching past the Catholic hospital on the Crumlin road and the mother superior writes them a letter of thanks for their courteous consideration. Small things you may say, but life is composed of trifles, say, but life is composed of trifles, and all these are but the outward and visible sign of a spiritual grace which is spreading a little more than yesterday and a little less tomorrow." But the most remarkable incident of the conference was a speech by Canon Flewett of Cork. Here is what Canon Flewett said on the subject of Home Rule:— "I have noticed a great change in the attitude of the country towards Home Rule in the last twenty years. The Protestants are less opopsed to it. If we get Home Rule I do not anticipate any dire disaster to the church In the south and I am glad to bear testimony to the kindly consideration and cordial generosity which have always been extended to me by my Catholic neighbors in th County of Cork. "I cannot believe that this happy relationship would be altered under a Home Rule government. What we do fear Is that some stupid English government might rise and impose on us a bogus Home Rule which will not satisfy the Nationalist aspirations, and which will only plunge the coun. try into another period of unrest and unsettlement." In all the assembly there were only half a dozen men who expressed dissent from Canon Flewett's views. The great majority cheered every word he said. Another significant incident arose when the most Hev. Dr. Peacocks Archbishop of Dublin, was discussing the history of the Church if Ireland and put forward the claim that it was the direct descendants in unbroken succession of the historic Irish church, strongly repudiating any historical connection with the Church of England. This may seem another small thing, but tbe way in which the clergymen and laymen present cheered this claim showed that the Episcopalians of Ireland are fully alive to their nationality and are content no longer to be considered an English garrison. The greatest enthusiasm of the day was aroused when a lay delegate finished a speech hy declaring that hereafter the watchword in every part of the coun try would be "Irishmen all." o COMPAN V 1! I50RGA NIZED Winnipeg Capitalists Take Interest in Fort George Concern An event of Interest at Fort George during the past week has been the reorganization of (lie Fort George Lumber ft Navigation company, owners of Ihe Chilcotin, Cliilco ft Fort Fraser steamboats, and of the sawmill at Fort George. The company also owns considerable timber in the district. The company has been finally slrengthened by Winnipeg capitalists, namely Messrs. J. A, Adamson and j. A. McArthur, tho well-known railway contractor. Mr. Adamson and Dr. McLennan, the latter representing the McArthur inter- esls, spent last week in an inspection of the holdings of tbe company. Their decision to invest In business in tho district will be a guarantee of considerable expansion in their field ot operations. The name of the company has been changed to the Fort George Timber ft Transportation company. Mr. N. F. Clarke wil lstill be the manager of the company. It is the Intention to immediately complete the new saw mil] now In course of construction and to go Into the lumber manufacturing business on an enlarged scale.

O. H. NELoON, Editor. Friday, November 1910 LAW ENFORCEMENT The Police Commissioners, judging from the stand taken by Aid. Mobley lust evening, are somewhat anxious to see better enforcement of the liquor regulations and Hie bringing into effect of the intent of the provincial license laws by making the city ordinances comply with these. Had such a course been taken earlier in the year there would Undoubtedly have been less favor shown towards the Scott Act now about to be voted upon. ln this connection it might be well just now to bring to the attention of the ratepayers who will vote upon the Scott Act in a few weeks' time the serious question which would force itself upon the city should the Scott Act carry, in the matter of attempting to put into effect the provisions of that measure. To at all enforce its enactments a very large expenditure must be counted upon in .providing a plain clothes force in •conjunction with the police of the city. There can be no denying this. The guardians of the law will be ob- 'iged to hunt down the law-breakers with the odds all against them. Under the present license system this is all simplified. There is little or nothing doing in the sale of liquor outside of licensed places unless probably in the restricted district, where, under the system which prevails on the coast in this respect, it has been found difficult, to prevent an abuse of the liquor laws. The police have a limited number of bars open to inspection under the present system. Under the Scott Act the places of sale have to be traced in all manner of ways all over the townsite. The police will have to combat a dif. ferent proposition altogether and a constant change in imported detectives will have to be resorted to. 'xo do this will cost considerable money, which will have to be forth- •toming with no revenue whatever except the fines to fall back upon as a means of securing enforcement. Will the funds be provided for this? There has apparently been no determined effort made to enforce the license law. This was borne out by the statements of Aid. Mobley, one of the Police Commissioners, speaking before the city council last night. He announced that the city bylaw would have to be amended very materially, practically recast, to make it effective. That bylaw has been in force for months and if an effort had been made to have enforcement these weaknesses should long ago have been discovered. It looks, in fact, as though the lylaw lay as a dead letter, and only now, when for various reasons it is wise to make a move, has the bylaw been gone into. The poor old Scott Act left in a similar condition would be a joke. Is there good reason to believe that 3ome such course will not follow if It should pass? o — BYLAW IN ORDER LlioOM a GIFT Generous Donation to Fund Looking to Military framing in the PuMii Schools. Large Sum is Now Available to be Used for That Purpose in Canada In the last issue of the Journal we made reference to what looked like a mistake in connection with the Electric Light Bylaw, in not haclng a petition presented before it was introduced. While this is the ordinary course with money bylaws, our attention has been drawn to the fact that in the rase of a bylaw to borrow money for certain works like the electric lighting planl where rates can be charged to pay for it, there Is no necessity for the petition. The by- law in question comes under this sec- 1 Ion of Ihe net, it. appears, and la • herefore in order, o William Manson, M.P.P., bus gone io Stewarl for the purpose of looking Into some business connected Willi work there. He is meeting the residents of that place with respect io Incorporation also. WHAT HE "SCOT!' Ati" SAYS Latest arrivals from Stewart state that there Is an abundance of snow on the townsite. The people In Prince Rupert should invite the Stew- axtites to come here if they wish to see really beautiful weather. Next Sunday evening, Rev. to. H. McLeod is to preach in the Baptist church on the subject of "Jesus and file Sins of Cities; Would He Weep If He Came to Prince Ruperl Today?" Other services will be held as usual. An invitation is extended to all who have no place of worship, to be present at those services. Lord Strathcona has given another striking evidence ol bis sterling patriotism and his great.generosity ;n tiie otter referred to in a briel despatch published in the Journal i , v days ago. lie has written !■■ the MlnUter of Militia and Defeni i, sir Frederick Boiden, announclns a further glfl of $200,000 to the Strathcona trust for tbe encouragement of physical and militar ytrain- Ing in tiie publls chools of Canada. Willi the $300,000 which he gave for this purpose last year, this further generous gift brings the total of the fund up to the splendid sum of $500,000, and assures the committee in charge of the administration of the fund an annual amount of $2u.- 000 to assist in the joint work of the Federal and Provincial Governments towards the establishment of a uniform system of physical and elementary military training for the youth of the Dominion. In March of last year Lord Strathcona donated a first sum of $250,000 for this purpose. This was supplemented a little later by an additional $50,000. Now the Minister of Militia has completed arrangements with nearly all the provinces for the adoption of a scheme of co-operative action in the matter of making physical training and elementary military drill a part of the education of tiie boys and girls of Canada, Lord Strathcona has nearly doubled the central fund available for establishing the movement on a permanent and assured basis of success. The federal government has taken over the whole amount from the trustees of the fund, and has guaranteed interest at four per cent per annum, thus giving an annual amount of $20,000 to be administered by the Strathcona Trust Fund Board under the conditions of the original donation. The object of the fund may be briefly set forth by a quotation from Lord Strathcona's letter of March 13, 1909, announcing his first gift of j $250,000. His Lordship then wrote: "My object is not only to help to j improve the physical and intellectual capabilities of the children by inculcating habits of alertness, orderliness and prompt obedience, but also to bring up the boys in patriotism and to a realization that the first duty of a free citizens is to be prepared to defend his country. The Dominion at the present time, and for many years to come, can hardly hope to be able to give so long a period of training to her military forces as by itself would suffice to make them efficient soldiers, but if all the boys had acquired a fair acquaintance while at school with simple military drill and rifle-shooting, the degree of efficiency which could be reached In the otherwise short period which can be devoted to the military training of the Dominion forces would, in my opinion, be enormously enhanced. I will only add that I should prefer that for the present at least the whole of the money grant should be devoted to those educational establishments which are maintained entirely out of public funds. I think further that the administration of the fund should be such as to enable both sexes, whether teachers or pupils, to share in the rewards, and that the allotment of the money should be so made as to afford an Inducement both to the teachers to instruct and to the pupils to perfaet themselves In the training desired." The province of Nova Scotia has for some years had an arrangemeni whli Hie military department lor the teaching of drill and physical traln- Ingtn the public schools of the prov- inve. Ontario, \ew Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, Saskatchewan and British Columbia lime already agreed to enter into a similar arrangement. Alberta will do so soon. The Protestant Board of Education lor Quebec are ready to introduce the system In the Protestant public schools of tho province. The question is still under consideration by the authorities in charge of the Roman Catholic schools of the province. Manitoba is the only provnce which lias not as yet taken active steps to incorporate the proposed uniform system of physical training and elementary military drill into its educational system.

The sale of wine for exclusively sacramental purposes may, on the certificate of a clergyman affirming that the wine is required for sacramental purposes, be made by druggists.and vendors thereto spe- ially licenced by 1 lie lieutenant- governor in each province, but the number of such licensed druggists and vendors shall not exceed one in each township or parish, or two In each town, or one for every four thousand inhabitants in each city. 119. The sale of intoxicating liquor for exclusively medicinal purposes, or for bona fide in some art trade or manufacture, may be madr by any person duly authorized to sell the same; but such intoxioating liquor when sold for medicinal purposes shall be removed from the premises, and such sale shall be made only on the certificate of a legally qualified physician, having no interest in the sale, affirming that such liquor has been prescribed for the person named therein. 126. Any legally qualified physician who gives a certificate under tliis part for any other than strictly medical purposes, affirming that any intoxicating liquor, therein specified, has been prescribed for the person named therein, shall, on summary conviction, for the first offence, be liable to a penalty of twenty dollars, and for any second or subsequent offence to a penalty of forty dollars. (How do the doctors like the look of this clause? Note that there Is no provision made for a false certificate by a clergyman, and they are only human, like the doctors.) Regarding Wholesalers 123. Any merchant or trader, exclusively in wholesale trade and duly licensed to sell liquor by wholesale, having his store or place for the sale of goods within such county or city, may thereat keep for sale and sell intoxicating liquors, but only in quantities not less than ten gallons at any one time, and only to druggists and vendors licenced as aforesaid, or to such persons as he has good reason to believe will forthwith carry the same beyond the limits of the county or city, and of any adjoining county or city, in which this Part is then In force, to be wholly removed and taken away in quantities not less than ten gallons at a time. (This is another brilliant effort. The wholesaler living in the city rannot sell in the city even for family use and the champions of this Act try to tell the people that there is no effort made to interfere with a man buying liquor for his home. Does not the whole thing show the work of the amateur lawmaker? We will continue lo publish these c'auses and we wish the people to weigh them carefully without prejudice. We only hope to reach the people who can be swayed by reason and we think there are enough of them to outweigh the fanatics.) -—■ o • ACTIVITY ON ATLANTIC The Canadian Shipping Companies are all making preparations for prospective increases to their business by building or purchasing steamers. The Canadian Northern Company, which operates the Royal Line from Bristol, has decided to run a weekly service. This concern has acquired control of the steamer Volturno, a vessel which lias accommodation for 1,800 passengers, and which at present maintains a service between New York and Rotterdam, in addition to I lie Royal Edward and the Royal George, a fourth boat will he available when navigation reopens. The Canadian Pacific Company has practically completed arrangements for placing larger and faster steamers on the Atlantic and the Pacific. The construction programme includes two liners for the Atlantic and two for the Pacific. It is expected that they will be faster than any other vessels at present on service. The Allan Line has just issued specifications for three new boats. It is stated that they will have a length of 686 feet, which Is over 160 feet longer than the Victorian and Virginian, which were built In 1905. The intention of the company Is to enable travellers from Liverpool to Quebec to reach their destination as quickly as those who have New York for their objective, and although It Is not The British Columbia Company LIMITED.

Difference of Opinion Between the Two French-Canadian Leaders Sir Wilfrid Laurier has written a long letter to the Hon. T. Berthiame on the naval policy of his government, the opportunity being provided by an article of the latter published Saturday reviving the figure of Commandant. Fortln "that man of head and heart who ln reality," says Laurier, "was the father of the Canadian navy." The Premier draws a parallel between the necessities of that day and those of the present, saying it is now much more important to defend our shores, especially as Britain has withdrawn her fleets from Halifax and the Pacific coast, thus confirming our autonomy. Canada makes her own laws and commercial treaties % and it is her duty to provide for her naval protection. What would happen to Canadian commerce If at the moment she was preparing to offer the shortest route between Europe and Asia by false economy we should lose hundreds of millions of business? Moreover Canadians should have the opportunity to be trained for sea life. "I am not at the head of Canadian affairs for my own personal satisfaction," he says. "My duty is to work iu order to make the country respected. I do not think my compatriots of Quebec should be In this matter of different faith to my own. Moreover they have reason to take me to task if I have failed in the duty assigned to me in making Canada worthy of taking first place in the British Empire in the face of the world." Sir Wilfrid's Policy He goes on to say that demagogues have sought to frelghten the people with prospects of conscription. Conscription is no more to he feared today than when Commandant Fortln called for volunteers to recruit the "Canadlenne." He concludes as follows: ^"Antonomy will similarly be preserved by the clause which refers to parliament's absolute control of the naval service, which Is Its own creation and which cannot be used otherwise than by the will of the representative of the people. When the law Is better understood the people of Canada, especially people of Quebec, will find in it nothing hue full recognition and exact application of their rights as well as their duties. Rourassa's Reply Mr. Henri Bourassa publishes ln Le Devoir a reply to Sir Wilfrid Laurier's letter in La Presse heading the article, "Laurier, Berthiaume, Dansereau & Co.," and beginning with the statement that the fraternal embrace of these gentlemen marks the dreadful fall of the man who for so long has dominated the public life of his country. "I asked Laurier one day," proceeds Mr. Bourassa, "why he saw fit to fraternize with such people and he replied, my dear sir, political leaders are like generals In the army, they are obliged at all times to make use of spies purchased from the enemy." "This conversation took place In 1905 before the famous meeting at Caledonia Springs and the Holy alliance of Blair, Russell and Green- shields. In fact the situation must have become desperate when Laurier has to throw himself Into the arms of everyone who comes along. Of all the pleasantries indulged In by Sir Wilfrid up to the present time, this heats all. It is necessary for one to call attention to the fact that Hon. A. N. Morln and Hon. Mr. Hincks never had more bitter adversaries than the men who were the first guides and leaders of Sir Wilfrid Laurier, such as the Dorlons, the Pepins, tiie Provosts and the Dutres, and need I remind Sir Wilfrid that he combatted to Ihe bitter end the man who Is designated as the proud and noble figure of Commandant Forlin and whom he claims as a godfather?" Draws Difference "This, however, might be excusable," the article goes on, "if his mode of argument could for a single Instant hold water. Commandant Fortln may be the father of the Canadian navy, that is possible, but Sir Wilfrid's navy is only. Canadian in times of peace; it is Imperial in time of war. Mr. Fielding proclaimed It; Laurier admitted it; Mr. McKenna, first lord of the admiralty, confirmed it, and so did Mr. Brodeur and Sir Frederick Borden." Mr. Bourassa accuses Sir Wilfrid of taking liberties with clauses and facts, saying in part: "He forgets that the famous clause which he invokes, falsifying it, will only call parliament together after the fleet has already been a fortnight at sea, and perhaps sunk, leaving such Slavs as the Rivets, the Gervais and the Be- lands the right to approve or blame the action of the government." Proceeding to speak of the future Mr. Bourassa says: "There can be no mistaking the character of the contest in the future. Let neither Conservative nor Liebral be deceived. The fight of tomorrow which has been preparing for the past ten years will not be fought between two armies, morally decimated and whose battle flags cover an idea or a principle. The battle will be fought out between imperialists and automom- ists. The problem will be posted squarely and fairly and the Canadian people will choose between two principles and whatever may be the Issue there will be no ,civil war, or timid people fear. There will be of course people like Brodeur In 189G and Hughes of our own day, but with such damagogues the bark is worse than the bite. The minority will accept loyally the decision of the ma- pority, preserving of course, the right, which Is essentially British, to use every effort to bring the majority to think as they do." o — I MARINE NEWS i * * i;.*.j. •>*:. .> **»>.;. **.. * v:•*»;• *.> $$ .>.;. v* *.>.:• To Arrive Friday, Nov. 25.—Camosun from Vancouver.

COUNT TOLSTOI Some of the leading works written bp the late Reformer DISMISSED CAPTAIN A court-martial held at Portsmouth, Eng., found Captain Fitzher- bert of the British armored cruiser Bedford, guilty of negligently stranding his ship and sentenced him to dismissal from the vessel and to be severely reprimanded. The Bedford ran ashore off Quelpart Island, in the Yellow sea, on August 21. Eighteen of her crew were lost. Captain Fitzherbert's sentence does does not debar him from obtaining another command in the royal navy after a suitable period has elapsed. COLD STORAGE PLANT Workmen are Installing a cold storage plant with a capacity of 2,000 cubic feet on the Grand Trunk Pacific steamer Prince George now docked In Victoria. It is understood thai tiie Prince Rupert will he slml- ] larly fitted when she comes off the i northern run next month to he over- i hauled for the excursion to the Hawaiian islands next February. Tho plant will give the steamers facilities I for the carrying of fresh meats and perishables at present unequalled, on , tiie British Columbia coast. The installation will be a boon to residents here, insuring the arrival of meats and other articles of diet of a perishable nature in first class shape. It is another indication that the G. T. P. is prepared to do its best to serve the public. The G.T.P. has announced that the wireless apparatus on the Prince Rupert will be enlarged for her trip across the Pacific, the radius being increased in order to allow of constant communication with this coast and Honolulu. Arrangements will be made to publish a daily newspaper on the steamer, giving condensed news dispatches. This will be the first time a newspaper has been published on board ship on the Pacific. Count Lyof Nikolaevitch Tolstoi, usually called Count Leo Tolstoi, novelist and social reformer, whose death occurred a few days ago under such sad circumstances, was born August 28, 1828, at Yasnaya Poliana, in the province of Tula, Russia. When 23 years old he -entered the army and served in the Caucasus and the defense of Sebastopol against the British and French allied forces. He first made a reputation in literature by a series of vivid sketches written from Sebastopol, and when he left the army after the Crimean war, he devoted himself entirely to literature. His "War and Peace," a tale of the invasion of Russia by Napoleon In 1812 is regarded in Russia as being his masterpiece, though his "Anna Karenina" which appeared in 1867? and "The Cossacks" found1 greater favor abroad, . where his "Kreutzer Sonata," translated in 1890, also attracted wide attention. Tolstoi wrote much on education and published several short stories and reminiscences of childhood and youth, but of recent years he had devoted himself to religious teachings. He made "Return not evil" the keystone of the Christian faith and insisted that the literal interpretation of the Sermon on the Mount was the only rule of the Christian life. The religious views of Tolstoi were set forth in his "Christ's Christianity" and "My Religion." In 1893 Tolstoi wrote "The Kingdom of God Within Us," an important work on the social question, and in 1895 he wrote "The Four Gospels Harmonized and Translated." His other writings included "My Confession," "Criticisms of Dogmatical Christianity," "What I Believe," "What is to be Done," "The Death of Ivan Ilyitch," "The Power of Darkness" (a drama), "On Life" "The Fruits of Enlightment" (a comedy), "The Kingdom of God is Within You," "What is Art?" "The Christian Teachings," "The Resurrection," "The Slavery ot Our Times," "What is Religion?" and many other works on the most varied subjects. In 1901 Tolstoi was ex-communicated by the holy synod and in October, 1902, he deposited his memoirs and diaries with the curator of Rum- yanzoff museum on the condition that they should not be published until ten years after his death, and in November of the same year he legally made over his whole fortune, includ ing his real and personal estate, to his wife and children. In 1895 Tolstoi wrote a powerful vindiaation of the Doukhobor sect, which iu that year had suffered great persecution. On the Russian censor refusing to permit its publication, Tolstoi sent it to the London Times, which printed the lengthy article in full. He continued from that time on to address his literary efforts to the British press. On March 17, 1896, the London Daily Chronicle published a long letter from Tolstoi to a correspondent in England on the Venezuelan dispute, which had recently arisen between the United States and Great Britain. It was a strong indictment of war. Tolstoi was several times threatened with expulsion from Russia and was sevral times, according to report, upon the point of being exiled; but he seemed on the whole to have been treated with unusual leniency in view of his pronounced views, especially as set forth In a manifesto entitled "The People's Rights," his criticisms of imperial acts and his open letters to the emperor. He was, howeve/ expelled from Moscow In July, 1901, md has since resided at Yasnay Poliana. Mis health at that time was poor, and for a time his life was In danger, but he regained his strength and resumed work. Later he suffered a relapse and in February 1902, was reported dying. Again he rallied, and in June his recovery was complete. In July, 1904, Tolstoi wrote an ar- MASQCERADE CARNIVAL Enjoyable Evening Spent at the Roller Rinl hy Many Patrons tide denouncing the Russia-Japanese war, which caused the seizure of the "Novosti" of St. Petersburg, which published it, and a revival of the reports of the government's intention to take severe action against the author. In January, 1905, Tolstoi published an open letter to the emperor regarding the internal conditions in Russia, which was printed throughout the world, and some time later he ocmpletedshis drama "Behind the Scenes in War," the production of which was prohibited in St. Petersburg. The London Times, September 1, 1905, published a seven-column article by Tolstoi, entitled "A Great Iniquity," dealing with the land question and declaring that Russia is living through an important time that is destined to have enormous results. The article was largely devoted to the theories of the late Henry George, and declared that the land question had reached a state of ripeness such as fifty years ago was reached by the question of serfdom. In 19-07 he wrote a letter to Paul Sabatier, of Paris, as a reply to the latter's book on the disestablishment of the church in France. In this communication the Russian writer predicted the possible reduction of all the Christian countries of the west to a state of vassalage to the Japanese and other Oriental people, basing his predictions on the ground that It is only in the Orient that religion and patriotism are synonymous. On the occasion of Tolstoi's eightieth birthday, extensive celebrations were held, although they were strongly disapproved by the Russian government and were made the subject of an appeal by the holy synod to all believers to abstain from participating. Several publishers of Tolstoi's works have been sent to prison. Of these, M. Selden was sentenced to six months In 1909 for publishing and distributing the pamphlets, "Thou shalt not kill,'-' a letter to the "Liberal" on "Christianity and Patriotism." The venerable writer addressed a note to the court challenging the prosecution of himself, instead of the publisher. But the magistrate did not venture to institute proceedings against Tolstoi and the government took no notice of the challenge. Although Tolstoi came of an aristocratic family, being a descendant of Count Peter Tolstoi, the friend and comrade of Peter the Great, he received his education at Kazan university (entering the army as a lieutenant of artillery and commanding a battery at Sebastopol), he was-at heart a peasant in the best sense of the word, devoted to the improvement of the condition of the Russian masses and eager to lead them In the right path. With these objects in view as early as 1885 he organized peasant schools on a new and original basis, co-operated in the interest of cheap, popular publications, organized relief for the starving population of middle Russia (in 1891-92), renounced his properly in copyright, land and money and, in the recent agrarian disturbances actually but vainly, allowed the peasants to plunder his estate at Yasnaya Poliana. There he lived the life of a peasant in a peasant's hut, partaking only of simple peasant's food and wearing the peasant's costume—rough blouse, broad leather belt, fur cap, with wide trousers tucked into high cowhide boots. But although Tolstoi chose the existence of a peasant, his family occupied the substantial family mansion on the Yasnaya Poliana estate, in Hie mansion was the author's library, and there lie went whenever lie desired to dictate to liis secretary, Tolstoi was a great reader, and among his recreations were chess, cycling, lawn tennis and swimming. APPLICATION FOR LIQUOR LICENSE (Form "A" The roller rink on Wednesday evening, to which crowds of people flocked, was the scene of a gay and happy throng, owing to the masked skating carnival, which was being held. The skaters were dressed in every kind of garb imaginable; clowns, cooks and waiters being in abundance. During the evening a contest of skating was held to choose the most graceful lady and gentleman skaters on the floor. Mrs. L. A. Miller, who was garbed as a Spanish dancer, was successful in carrying off the lady's prize, while Mr. E. J. Waterman, who was dressed as a Highlander, captured the gentleman's prize for gracefulness. A race for boys under twelve years i was also very interesting, and gave the boys a chance to show their speed The race consisted of ten laps around Ihe rink and was easily won by Einer Olson, the smallest boy on the floor. H. M. Lever, the floormaster, gave a very clever exhibition of fancy and trick skating and greatly pleased tha large and attentive audience who ap. plauded most heartily. The signal to unmask was given at nine o'clock, but skating continued until eleven.

NEW UNION CLUB Victoria.—At a cost of between $120,0(10 and $150,000 the Union Club is about lo erect a six-story building at the corner of Humboldt and Gordon, a structure, which, when complete, will be the finest of its character on the Pacific Coast. Yesterday the building at present occupied by the club and the site upon which it stands, at the corner of Douglas and Courtenay streets, was sold to the British America Trust Company for a figure in Hie neighborhood of $85,000.

FALSE MARRIAGE PERFORMED New Westminster.-—Taking advantage of the keen distress of a young girl . who had been deceived and deserted by a man and cast off by her people, two blackguards inveigled her into a false marriage in this city last December. The story in all its details is a very destressing one and it is not often that such a case occurs in this country. Charged with performing a false marriage ceremony in this city on December 12, 1909, a young Englishman named L. Campbell faced Justices Corbould and Walker at the police court. The case was remanded for one week in order to secure material witnesses and the accused will be allowed liis freedom providing lie can raise the necessary $1,000 bail. while not unique this crime is fortunately rare In British Columbia and carries with it a maximum penalty of seven years imprisonment. The groom who participated in the fake marriage, a burly logger, left the city just before the police were notified of the affair and has not been located since that time. COLLECTS DAMAGES New Westminster.—The widow of Wm. Johnstone, a B.C.E.R. conductor who was killed in the Lakeview disaster between Vancouver and New Westminster last fall, was awarded $7,500 damages, $4,000 for herself and $500 for the oldest boy and $3,000 for a small child. The case was heard before a special jury ! of eight. Johnstone was an employee j of the company who was travelling j to New Westminster in plain clothes at the time of the accident. The de- fenc was that the plaint.ff, having been an employee of the company, was killed by the negligence of other employees, and therefore, the company was not liable. Plaintiff's counsel replied that at the time of the accident, he was not in uniform and not on duty, and so was In the same position as other passengers. o— acceptable gifts, adding substantial cheer to all Yuletide jollifications at home and abroad.

S30 Friday, November 25, 1910 THE PRINCE RUPERT JOURNAL THE SPORTING WORLD ROBHY KERR TRAINING Bobby Kerr, who has been out of training for some time, has decided to get into shape again, and will compete at some of the big indoor meets to be held across the border this winter, says the Hamilton Herald. Kerr feels that the rest he has had will do him the world of good, and there is no reason why he should not show his best form this season. The knee which he injured while playing football a week ago is still bothering him, but the injury is not serious and will in no way interfere with his training. Last year Kerr did not let up In his training at any stage, but as soon as the outdoor season closed he began to prepare for the indoor season, with the result that he was over-trained before the winter was over.. He has done very little running since he showed 'em how to lower records at Winnipeg. Speaking of Kerr, an intimate friend of the auburn-haired sprinter claims that Bobby will spring something in the way of a surprise within the next year or two. As soon as Bob decides to retire from the sprinting game he is going to try his hand at distance running with a view to winning the Herald race. ENGLISH LACROSSE The London Times has an Interesting letter on the relative merits of English and Canadian lacrosse. It points out the enormous strides that the game has taken in popular favor in England, and prophesies that ln ten years it will be a national pastime. It devotes some space to a criticism of the two styles of play, and while it grants that in most respects the Canadian game is superior, some few points are noticed in which our game might be improved. For instance the corerspondent believes that it would be worth while to imitate the swift straightforward onslaughts which are a feature of the English style, but at the same time he notes that it Is owing to just this style of play that the teams of Western Canada have shown such a marked superiority over those of the East. In regard to the English game he points out that although It is full of individual brilliancy It has yet to be purged of actual selfishness, that it is inferior to the Canadian game in midfleld play and in the art of shooting, and that the Canadian players are always on the alert for any unexpected developments, whereas the English players are apt to relax when the ball Is not in their teritrory. The writer, after a tribute to the clean and sportsmanlike methods of English players, goes on to deplore the damaging effect that professionalism has had on the game in this country. He says:. "In Canada the brutality and foul tactics of many— but by no means all—of the hired players have driven away the better- class spectators from the chief matches; very few ledies now attend these spectacles, and the popularity there of the 'smart Larries' has been lately deplored by pulpit moralists, who go as far as to say that the influence of professional lacrosse Is as debasing as that of the American prize-ring. As the rules now stand, the player who strikes an opponent with his crosse or trips him from behind deliberately is merely 'sent to the fence for five or ten minutes.' The corerspondent sugegsts that if the player "could be dismissed for the rest of the game, and if his offence deserved an additional iepnalty fence deserved an additional penalty, suspnsion for a part or the whole of the season, the worst abuses would be eliminated." He adds that "sooner or later some such change ln the Canadian code must come if lacrosse in Its native land Is not to sink to the level of American baseball—and more than one Canadian authority on the game would be glad to see body-checking made illegal—an alteration which would practically abolish the tactical differences between Canadian and English lacrosse." There is, however, no reason, to despair of lacrosse in Canada. Such evils as have developed may easily be eliminated. It still has a generous suport and it is going far to say that it Is seriously neglected by what. The Times' writer calls "the better-class spectators." DEATH OF FAMOUS CRICKETER The death of Dr. H. J. H. Scott, the famous Australian cricketer, is announced. Dr. Scott's first class career was not a long one. It lasted less than ten years, but during that time he did some notable things. It was in 1883-4 that he first came prominently to the front with a fine score of 114 not out against New South Wales at Melbourne, when he and Tom Horan added 161 for the fifth wicket, and largely helped to bring about the victory of their side by three wickets. This performance was the main cause of his being chosen'for the fourth team to England. Very early in the tour his value to the side was shown by his fine innings of 71 against Surrey, more than twice as big as any other individual score of the match. Against England at the Oval he made 102, he and W. L. Murdock adding 207 for the third wicket. He took third place to Murdoch and McDonnell In the batting averages with 973 runs and an average of between 22 and 23. His play in England in 1886 was somewhat handicapped by the task of captaining a disappointing team. Again he came out third in averages, with a total of 1,289 and an average slightly under 22. He never played any more flrst class cricket after the close of this tour, remaining in England for the time to pursue his medical studies, and shortly after his return to Australia taking up a practice at Scone. Born at Toorak, near Melbourne, on December 6, 1858, he was only 51 at the time of his death. BILLIARD CHALLENGE Assailed by challenges from every side, George Gray, the boy Australian billiard wonder, has thrown out a challenge to the world. It is issued on behalf of a North of England sportsman, who is prepared to back George Gray on level terms against any player in the world for a stake of $2,500 a side. The challenge is particularly directed at Inman. Gray's manager says: "Inman has stated that he is prepared to back himself to the extent of $110 that he maks a larger break off the red ball than Gray. In this he can be accommodated just as often as he pleases, irrespective of the stake of $2,500; and, further, Gray's supporter will take Inman's $250 to $125 that the the Australian will make more than twice as large a break off the red ball In any and every match they may play. Or, providing Gray and Inman do not meet, the youth's supporter will book the same wager that Gray compiles twice as large a red ball break as Inman during the remainder of the present season on a table passed by the Billiard Control Club." WOULD MEET JEFFRIES "If Jeffries was doped when he fought Jack Johnson last July, he must be a better man than the public thinks he Is, and he must have confidence in his ability as a fighter. Now to show Mr. Jeffries what I think of him, I will bet him $20,000 that I can stop him Inside of fifteen rounds." This was the statement made by Tommy Burns to the News-Advertiser in Vancouver, while speaking of the story in which Jeffries is repotted as saying that he is positive he was doped the last three days at Moana Springs. "That talk about being doped sounds like a schoolboy's remarks," Tommy added. "When Mcintosh approached Jeffries in New York in regard to a match with Johnson, Jeffries said, 'Who did Johnson ever beat?' and Mcintosh replied, 'He beat Tommy Burns, the former world's champion.' Jeffries replied, 'Why, he can't fight. He is only a third-class middleweight.' Now, according to Jeffries' ownf statement, he Is either a has-been or he is a much better man than his showing at Reno would indicate, and that is the situation which has prompted me to make the above offer." Burns resents with some feeling the imputation that he has fought no body but lemons. "I fought the champions in all the countries I went to," he said, "and if some of then were lemons it was not my fault. 1 met them all as they came along. But I never met such a lemon as Johnson met on July 4th at Reno." The conversation turning to Johnson, Tommy said that he would rath, er fight him than anyone in the world. "After the fight at Reno, 1 shook hands with Johnson, and he said that he would positively give me the next chance. Mcintosh tried to arrange a match for London or Australia, but he said he would not. fight again for a year. During the race with Barney Oldfield, it looked for a while as though I might be champion any minute, but Johnson went through with it al safe. However," he added, "I have always believed and I still believe that somehow some time I will regain the world's title. The ease with which Johnson won the fight in Australia has been greatly exaggerated, and I always had a good chance." TRADE WITH SOUTH Commerce Awaiting Development Between Canada and Australasia. Some Interesting Figures Relative to the Commodities That Could 15c Exchanged It is plain that a considerable trade may be established between Canada on one side and Australia and New Zealand on the other, says the News-Adverliser. Among the conditions of this increase are these: A better knowledge in each country of the requirements and resources of the others. Better and more frequent steamship communication. Reciprocity in preferential tariffs. In respect to the first it appears that while some trade has grown up between Canada and Australia, very little study has yet been made of the exact demands of the market. Canada has done more In this direction than Australia. We have trade commissioners in Australia and New Zealand. Neither the Commonwealth nor the Dominoin maintains public agents In Canada, though Australia proposes to do so. The goods shipped to this country from Australia are prepared as they are for other export, trade without much regard to the special tastes and demands of Ca nadians. In short, the trade, which has great promise for the future, is yet only in the preliminary stage. There Is no direct ^steamship communication between Canada and New Zealand and as a consequence there is practically no trade. Our total trade with New Zealand last year comprised $887,000 worth of exports and $775,000 of imports. This is not a large proportion of the $140,000,000 of New Zealand commerce or of Canada's $700,000,000. Of the goods purchased from New Zealand $650,000 was aides and 575,000 wool. Hemp was worth $30,- 000. Butter was valued at $5,000. -Mutton and other flesh-meats do not appear In the tables. Our sales to New Zealand are mostly manufactured goods, including over $200,000 worth of farm machinery, and nearly the same value of printing paper. All these goods much be sent and j received by indirect routes, so that the trade such as It is has been obtained In face of great difficulty.. Our trade with Australia has been largely in exports. According to the blue book we purchased last year from the Commonwealth only $400,000 worth of goods, and sent to Australia goods to the value of $3,600,000. The fact is that our import trade with Australia, except in wool and hides, is just beginning. We suspect that the quantity of Australian wool used in Canada is vastly larger than the figures show, and that, it comes to Eastern Canada by way of England. As merino wool it is free of duty, it is not distinguished from the British produce. The books make it appear that we imported 4,600,000 pounds of wool from Britain and only u60,- 000 pounds from Australia. Australia is returned as sending us only $77,000 worth of mutton, but there will be a considerable Increase this year. There is no mention of bacon, though the Australian product Is now seen in our shops. It is represented that larger quantities of fresh meat would be shipped if more cold storage space In the boats were available. Our sales to Australia have about doubled In the last four or five years. Farm machinery accounts for more titan one-third of those exports. Lumber, salmon and printing paper, with manufactures of steel, are also Included. II is rather singular that no preferential tariff arrangements has yet. been made between Australia and Canada. Both giev a preference to Great Britain, but neither gives It to the other. New Zealand had a low tariff when Canada adopted the preferential system, and goods from that island have long been on the Canadian preferred list. Yet it happens that only $6,190 worth of Imports get the benefit of the preferential rate, as nearly al! our imports from the other dominion were on the free list. Tiie total duties paid on goods from New Zealand was only $2,221, and Australian goods were taxed $59,540, As there is rather close competition between some Australian products—notably sub-tropical fruits - -and those of the United stales, ihe establishment of a preference might —THE— Oliver The Westholme | _ Lumber Company,Ld.

ROBERT V 'li.XWICK, Deputj Commissioner of Lands Lands Department, Victoria, 11. c. .lone 10th, 1910 (First Insertion July 6.) MB THE PRINCE RUPERT JOURNAL Friday, November 25, 1910 NEW NORTHERN LINE Mackenzie & Mann Rushing Through Alberta Legislature. Bill Proposal to Build From Edmonton Throngh Northern British Columbia to Yukon By a bill which is now being rushed through the Alberta legislature, the Canadian Northern railway under the name of the Canadian Northern Western, is given power to construct a railway from Edmonton northwest into the Peace River country, and through the Peace river or Pine River pass into the Yukon territory. The charter also authorizes the construction of the Stettler-Brazeau road, which, on representations by the Alberta Central railway, building through the same territory, was blocked this summer at Ottawa. With a provincial charter and a provincial approval of plans, the C. N.R. will be in a position to proceed with tliis line in spite of objections from Ottawa. Wlien the construction of the Slet- tler branch was begun, the Alberta Central people began to protest the paralleling of their route. The construction of the C.N.R. Iin, it is understood, was not approved under the Dominion charter at Ottawa; hence the haste for getting a provincial charter. A. C. Mackenzie, head of the Northern Construction company, who was in Edmonton while the bill was being considered In the railway committee of the house, will make preparations, for an early start next spring on the construction of the road to the Peace river, within the next two years. The bonds tor the construction of both roads are now being offered on tiie London market by William Mackenzie, president of the Canadian Northern. The bill provides that the company, may issue bonds to the extent nf $35,000 a mile. The company is capitalized at $6,0000,000. The'head offices of the company are to be in Edmonton. The new railway to the Peace Is to be made a part of the Canadian Northern transcontinental system, which will be completed within the next five years. Although the charter will read that the line will start from a point •at or near Edmonton, it is altogether likely that It will be made to branch off the main line this side of Las-Ste. Anne, about 3 5 or 4 0 jniles west of the city. From there the line Willi go direct through to Grande Prairie,: and to the Pass, crosisng the Athabasca, Little Smoky, Simonet and Big Smoky rivers. By die construction of this line, it is represented, the Canadian I Northern will have two outlets to the Pacific roast fmm Edmonton, one via the Yellowhead to Vancouver,- and the other via the Peace river. Will Open Vast Country Twenty million acres of arable land will be tributary to this line, not. to say anything of the vast territory lying along the 1,100 miles of i northern waterway that will be tap- j perl by the line. This fact was brought home to the Alberta legtsla- tur by James K. Cornwall. The line Is something for which Mr. Cornwall and his constituents have been fighting for a long time. o CURFEW BYLAW prepare suet e bylaw on the recommendation of the school board. Last evening a letter was read from the secretary of the school board intimating tthe board desired such a bylaw In view of1 the fact that children were allowed'to run the streets to all hours at night so that they were not fit for study in school. Aid. Naden felt that this curfew bylaw was necessary. He moved that it be referred to the proper committee to bring in a bylaw. His worship suggested that the city solicitor be instructed to bring in such a bylaw. Aid. Mobley felt that it would do good even if it could not be fully I'll forced. Aid. Pattullo said he had Intended to bring such a bylaw in but had overlooked it. The solicitors will be asked to prepare the bylaw. Local News School Children Arc on the Streets Up to Lute Hours at Night The youngsters of this city will ne brought under a curfew bylaw as a means of getting better results out of them in school. The council has authorized the city solicitors to LINE IS INSPECTED (Continued from Page One) ly during the entire winter. The work west of Edmonton has been very slow, owing to the difficulty of transporting supplies, which all have to be drawn in from the end of track over very rough country, and can only be done to advantage in the winter season on snow. As there is only about two months of sleighing, it is very difficult matter for contractors to keep sufficient supplies to the front. Last winter there were 1800 teams on the road drawing supplies, still they were not sufficiently pushed ahead so but what the contractor has been obliged to transport on wagons the present summer. When we get to Tete Jaune Cache this matter will b considerably simplified, as we then get something over 200 miles of water navigation alongside the right-of-way, and will be able to make faster progress with the construction. "The line east from Winnipeg to Fort William is nearing completion, the track being in such condition that we have been hauling grain over it to the head of Lake Superior since about October 1st, and it is now expected the line will be ready for passenger service early next spring. "The construction work on the Transcontinental during the past season has progressed very favorably, and there are many long stretches of track now practically ready for operation. iWth the same progress that has been made the present season, the entire line/rom Levis to Moncton will probably be ready for operation some time next season. West from Quebec there Is something over 200 miles already completed, and of the Abitibi section, 250 miles of track will be ready next season. East of Lake Superior Junction to the head of Lake Nipigon there should be from 100 to 175 miles of track completed before the end of 1911. If the present good progress is continued, I can see no reason why these different sections should not be connected, up by the end of 1913. "The labor situation in the east is considerably improved, and I understand from our contractors, Foley, Welch & Stewart, that they see considerable improvement here. Whether it will continue to give them sufficient men to rush the work next season remains to be seen. We apprehend, however, that there will be a continual stringency in the labor market until many of the large works which are now under way are completed. Construction work, especially ln the east, is very heavy; this company having under contract some thing over one thousand miles of branch lines, and the Canadian Pacific and Canadian Northern are extending very extensively both on the prairis and In the eastern provinces, all of which tends to keep the labor market short."
