FINANCES OF CITY Council Takes Steps to Change Banks -Bylaw Introduced for Purpose Charles M. Hays Objects to Wording of Advertisement for Tenders in London Papers Last evening at the meeting of the city council a telegram was read from Charles M. Hays with respect to an advertisement of the city calling for tenders for the sale of debentures. The message was dated November 17 and read as follows: — "Fred Stork, Mayor, Prince Rupert. "An advised by our Loudon office Prince Rupert is advertising in London papers for tenders for $500,000 stating that our asessment is $7,300,- 000. Since the amount of the assessment is to be contested, it is misleading and unless the advertisement is withdrawn we shall explain public the position. CHAS. M. HAYS." The clerk announced that the following message had been sent In re- pry:— "Chas. M. Hays, Montreal. "Adv. referred to in your telegram was ordered withdrawn October 26. F. H. MOBLEY, Acting-Mayor. ' Change of Hanks On the introduction of a bylaw on NEW DIGGINGS From Nome, Alaska, come glowing accounts of the richness of the ground on Squirrel river. These have aroused much interest and the movement to th new diggings has assumed the proportion of a stampede. Sixty thousand dollars' worth of gold has been brought down from the Squirrel river district since the stampede started. motion of Aid. Pattullo to authorize the borrowing 'from the bank from time to time sums to the amount of $125,000 ou the security of the taxes payable this year to the city, the chairman of the finance committee explained that this bylaw simply took the place of the former bylaw for meeting the general expenses of city government. Aid. Pattullo further slated that the council found it advisable to pay off the Bank of Commerce and make arrangements for the Bank of .Montreal to carry the current account for the city. That bank was currying other special accounts for the city and il was advisable to bring them all to the one bunk. Aid. Hilditch, upon the motion to go Into committee on the bylaw, expressed the view that this was rather railroading this matter through when so much seemed to be involved. It was proposed to change accounts from one bank to another and to borrow $125,000. He did not know whether there was that value of taxes still outstanding. Aid. Pattullo said that he did not wish to hurry it up. There were $183,345.61 of taxes due to the city. The council went Into committee, however, and In a general discussion the question of the G.T.P. taxes and Its relation to the borrowing power came up. It was felt by Aid. Pattullo that this did not need to enter Into the question. Aid. Mclntyre felt that It did enter Into It, although he agreed that the council did not need to consider It ln connection with this bylaw. The bank would make such allowance as It saw lit on that score and the borrowing power of the city was just that much reduced while this taxation was In dispute. City's Standing Before the committee rose, Aid. Pattullo explained that according to the finances at present It looked as though at the end of the year when "all the Indebtedness was diverted to local Improvement account that properly belonged there, especially If the sewer expenditure was taken away from general revenue and put ln a special fund there would be a surplus. This was possible even without any revenue from the G.T.P. Mr. Hays had offered $5,000 In taxes but In view of the fact that the proposal was $100,000 It was more reasonable to suppose that $25,000 would likely be paid by the company on this account. The bylaw was reported. SEWERING QUESTION Aid. Hilditch is Fearful That There Will be Little for Outlying Streets. The Council Will Have to Settle Upon a Policy Relative to Putting in System The sewer question will have to be grappled with at a very early date by the city council as scarcely a meeting of that body passes without something relative to the matter coming up. In the meantime any such worl*. is done out of general revenue, but in case it is decided to provide for the funds otherwise the necessary change will be made. Last evening the question came up on a recommendation of the city engineer that as an embankment was to be put in .on Fraser and Eighth streets it was recommended that the sewers be put in first so as to avoid a large expense later on. He recommended the purchase of the necessary sewer pipe, etc., together with other piping, the whole amounting to $13,214.22. Aid. Hilditch felt that if these sewers were to be ordered along as the recommendations came, he could not see where the money was to come for roads in the outlying sections. Unless there was money available he thought, some provision should be made to withhold sufficient to do some work in the outlying parts of the city. Aid. Lynch felt that something should be done to decide upon a general scheme of sewer laying. Aid. Pattullo explained the difficulty experienced In getitng money. The Bank of Montreal he felt would advance more. This pipe required for the section now under discussion would cost $5,900 only. He felt that nothing should be done to discredit the city's standing. It was difficun enough for the council under the best of circumstances. He made reference to the message of Charles M. Hays read before, which be d'd not think was what should have been expected in view of the fact that the statement complained of was inserted for the direct purpose of avoiding any misconception in the matter. Later on before being referred to the committee, Aid. Pattullo said the work had to be done. It had to be financed. o PILOTS FOR PORT Board of Trade Recommend the Appointment of Local Authority. ,5,* *•:<*.>* ****4* .5. .j.************.:..-:. * *.:..:.* $$ .;(.t. * HON.

Everywhere, however, he found that Prince Rupert was recognized as a coming place. There Is no scc- lumbi 1 in the administration of his department. He reciprocally congratulated the association upon its excellent organizaMon and prospects, and then touched lightly upon national politics. He pointed to numerous signs of liberal disintegration and remarked:— "The Liberal party in Canada is just now at the top of the toboggan slide—if indeed it has not already begun the swift descent. We all know where the plunge will leave that party at the next elections. With the achievement of power of Mr. Borden and his party, a policy will be inaugurated and consistently maintained which must greatly accelerate the development and the prosperity of the Dominion. And when the time comes for Mr. Borden to select his associates and colleagues in government," the provincial lands minister added, "we can offer him one or rwo good men from this Western province. We can send to the national capital at least one man, who, in statecraft, in farsightedness, in staunch Canadianism, in the enjoyment of the fullest confidence of the people, is the equal of any. We can offer at least one man thoroughly capable of filling with distinction any position at Hie executive board ot Canada. And when I say 'any' such position," the minister added, with a brief pause and significant emphasis, "I mean 'any'." The suggestion was received with prolonged applause as was every appearance of or reference to the provincial first minister, while in a resolution unanimously adopted, expressive of especial approval of the course adopted by Hon. McBride and liis government in Ihe official enter- tainmeni of Sir Wilfrid Laurler at Victoria, reference was made to the effect towards unification of true Canadianism that must arise out nf "such 11 welcome from the great leader of one party to the great leader of the other."

It was asked if any reply had been received from the Board of Trade when a negative answer was received. Aid. Naden said that altered It. He thought such a reply would have been sent. The Board took the ground that, having brought the council and the railway company together it had accomplished its object. Aid.

THE PRINCE RUPERT JOURNAj. Tuesday, November 22, 1910 PROBLEMS TO FACE The Head of Salvation Army on Influx Population to This Country. Some of tbe Obstacles That Must Be Overcome in the Prairie Sections Commissioner Coombs, head of the Salvation Army in Canada, who is now engaged in a study of the immigration situation in the west, predicts easier conditions for settlers who come to tills country a few years hence. He says that In two years more the available, meaning thereby the desirable, free homesteads in the three provinces will have been practically all taken up as a result of the heavy inl'ux of people from all parts of Europe, from the United Stales and from eastern Canada. Close settlement of the country will then begin in earnest, especially in Manitoba. The movement westward from this province will cease, and the people living here will be content to make the most of their opportunities instead of moving to free land in Saskatchewan or Alberta, says a Toronto Globe correspondent. Commissioner's Impressions The Commissioner is accompanied on his present trip by Col. Lamb, who is in charge of the Army's emigration work in Engand, and the study of the problems involved in the transferring thousands of people from one side of the globe to the other is their chief concern. From their experience in the past and from the wider sphere of usefulness permitted by thir grappling with the whole question of colonization and settlement these officers are in a position to discuss the immigration outlook with some degree of authority. Commissioner Coombs is unfortunately in poor health at present and on that account he is not speaking publicly. But he has intimated in a tew sentences his impressions of the probable effect upon living conditions in the west of the rapid and continuous influx. His views are most encouraging. Families Live Nearer The fact that families on the farms throughout tbe west will be located so much closer together appeals to the Commissioner as an import consideration, and there is no question that a nearer approach to density of population in the rural communities will be decidedly advantageous. "Splendid isolation" may be a fine thing from a naval or military point of view, but it has Its drawbacks on the prairies. Better schools, better churches and better opportunities for social enjoyment are furnished where there is a close grouping of settlers. There is no denying thai colonies of communities which attempt to combine rural and village life have serious disadvantages both for themselves and for the country at large. Particularly is this true in the case of foreigners where no attempt at assimilating with the main body of the population is made. Bul to the question as to whether farm houses should be five miles apart or one mile apart there ise only one answer. Man is a most sociable animal, and he likes to think that liis neighbors are fairly close. The day of seven-league boots has passed, and airships are not yet commercially feasible. In olden days little or nothing might have been thought of spending hair a day In making a trip to the next "homestead," and spending another half- day in the return journey. But that time is no more. The farmer will rejoice to know that his fellow-worker is within easy distance, and in the winter evenings there will bo many occasions when they can en- Joy each other's company. Ilasi> 1'i.r Enthusiasm Tin- results, Immediate and ultimate, which will flow from the closer lettlemenl of the country are dlffl- nit to estimate. There Is basis for plenty of enthusiasm in tliis connection. Commissioner Coombs Indicates one of the greatest consequences when he mentions the intensive cultivation of the land, it has been said many a time and oft. that the soil In the west was barely scratched. The farmer who has wrenched every muscle in bis body while following the plough does not think so, but In a relative sense the expression fits the situation fairly well. Where so much land is to bo cultivated the amount of attention jlvon to one quarter section, for Instance, is bound to be limited. Tho tame urea, however, when cultivated by three tlms the number of farmers Is certain to receive better car As the value of farm land increases :n '.he three prairie provinces the owners will see lo it that they obtain a larger proportionate return. There is no reason to doubt that this can be accomplished, and up to the present it has not been undertaken extensively because ordinary methods seemed to answer the purpose. Great Change Involved A development of intensive cultivation means a great cnange for the people, not only on the farms, but in the cities and towns. When settlement is close the need of bringing hams from Chicago and from England, butter, cheese and poultry from Ontario, mutton from Australia, and fruits and vegetables from British Columbia and California, will have disappeared. These articles of everyday use will be produced in sufficient quantities in the immediate vicinity of the centres of population to meet all demands, and perhaps—0 joyful thought!—there may be some to spare. This fall tbe people of the prairie provinces are shipping to the markets of Ontario trainloads of cattle, breaking up their herds. There is a fair prospect that next spring the same cattle, or a large proportion of tliem.e will come back in carcas form to be consumed by the people of the same prairie provinces. Under the coming regime of farming activ ity the community that needs beef will raise cattle. Apostle of Agriculture Commissioner Coombs says that an apostle of agriculture is needed in Manitoba at the present time. He does not find fault with what has been done in spreading the knowledge of scientific farming, but he believes that the present system does not go far enough. "Practical demonstration," he says, "ought to be made of the value of Intensive farming In Ontario it has been demonstrated that with proper scientific methods and good care the fruit crop can be trebledfl Farmers often think that they know it all, and it requires a great deal of effort to convince them that they do not. But there are men in the world who know more than they do. Experts must be sent out to show the farmers what may be done." Social Conditions The improvement of social conditions is, aftei all, the greatest boom that can be conferred upon the western farmers. Material gains may count, and they must be a factor, but a man cannot be said to be happy, even with a fortune, when he is denied the ordinary opportunities of communing with his fellows. Studying nature is a beautiful theme, and it has its bright side. The touch of human companionship, however, Is the element that helps to illumine the life of the plodding husbandman and the rapid settlement of the plains is a development most comforting to him. Nor is the point of view of the man to be considered alone. The position of the woman is worthy of more than a passing thought. It is on them that the lack of sociability in western farm life most heavily falls. Most of the pioneers in this country can testify that they owe much, or all, of their success to the sacrifices which the women made in helping to build up homes In a new land. The enjoyments and comforts of the women will increase as the years go on, and no one will say that this phase of the improved conditions will come too soon. The closer settlement to which Commissioner Coombs rightly ascribes so much Importance will be worth while if It helps to relieve the monotony and dullness of woman's existnee in her prairie home. IS PROUD OF CANADA Tommy Burns was Idolized in Calgary. He was even given a job for a day of editing one of the papers there and here is what he says about himself: "Home time ago the American papers were slinging dope at me to the effect thai I was not so popular u champion ns others, and the reason this was true was because 1 was not an American. They Btated that because 1 am a Canadian I did nol gel the big hand thai I would have received if I had been born in the United States. Tbey also said that I hurried across the ocenn to Los Angeles to have my child born on American soil. This is some of the wildest con 1 heard. I am a Canadian, and I am proud of it. Some people state that I took out papers of citizenship over on the other side, but that Is not true. I have a lot of good friends over In the United States, but I know If I had been an American when I was a champion I would have been more popular with some of the sporting editors over there. My home has been In Los Angeles, and ii is quite natural that my child should be born there. If I could change my minimality today, I would not do It, r a good Canadian is stuff you don't find everywhere you travel." CURE FOR POVERTY Single Tax Advocate Sets Forth the Advantages of That System. Henry George, Jr., of Boston, Explains to Toronto Audience Some Features In the course of a speech delivered In Ford Hall, in Boston, recently, Henry George, Jr., set forth a cure for poverty which is worthy of our Canadian consideration. He said: "If I could cure a case of virulent disease you would call me a great man. Yet I show you how to get rid of poverty. If you will but. turn men loose on the virgin soil, held for speculation by the rich, an imperial race will spring forth, and this will be a land such as your fathers never dreamed of. Civilization is being choked by land speculation, which the single tax will abolish." While we may not all agree with the positive statement of the last sentence, or share the confidence of Mr. George that the taxation remedy proposed by his illustrious father would absolutely abolish poverty, states Hamilton Spectator, recenty, we may at least wisely consider the wisdom of the general proposition made In the sentences quoted. They indicate what is beyond any doubt the direction from which will ultimately come the solution of the great poverty problem of the modern world. Even in this new country of ours we cannot too soon take steps to guard against the social conditions which have invariably come with population and congestion. With the proposition that all wealth comes from the land no one can disagree. There is nothing which contributes to the comfort or convenience of mankind, but comes directly or indirectly from the soil, The food we eat, the clothes we wear and all the apparatus of human existence from a spoon to a piano comes by various processes and paths from the one great storehouse of nature. The diversity of the forms taken by the products of the soil Is illustrated by the entangling problem of youth, as to how grass could become bristles on a pig's back, feathers on a fowl and hair on a rabbit. It is also evident that there is enough In the storehouse of nature to supply the needs of mankind. The blame for poverty cannot be placed on nature. If the poor in city slums shiver this winter it is not because there is not coal enought in the earth to keep all warm.| If any child hungers, it is not because the broad bosom of the earth is not able to suckle all its human children. If any one lacks luxuries, it is not becaus-, the earth is not sufficiently rich to bestow gifts upon all. Nature is able to cure poverty, and only awaits the work of command. One cause of poverty must there- forel le in the fact that all people are not given access to the storehouse of nature, or do not avail themselves <if the privilege. So lang as we are a new country, with large aceas open to'the homesteader, it is necessary to make the latter assertion. Yet, nevertheless, in a multitude of cases, people are not able physically or financially to avail themselves of the offer of free and on the fringe of civilization or population. And always remains the fact that poverty results In the intervention of some artificial barrier between man and the resources of nature. A very casual observation of conditions wil lreveal the truth of Henry George's assertion Hint "civilization is being choked by land speculation." Indite injustice has always been done to a great part of humanitj by the private speculation in land. Scores of cases might be citef here where thousands and even millions of acres of productive lands have been bought up al pioneer prices and held for the Inevitable rice In value. Ami the basis of profit has Invariably been oilier than that of labor Improvement, or actual production. It must be recognized that cities are largely artificial. Mir were never meant to crowd together like sardines in the narrow limits of city streets and homes. It Is manifestly absurd that in a city like New York five million people should be taken off the soil and jammed together In the civic limits, eavlng others to secure from nature Ihe necessities of lire. If half of the peiple of New York were turned out Into the open, nnd sel to work developing the resourcs of nature, wonderful w .Id be the rcsultsfl And why net ? Why permit strong men and women to die of starvation or to herd !'ke rattle In city slums when the vide fields wall. outside, willing to brag forth their treasures at the human touch? What better or wiser Is It than to confine peopl in a small room, and let them gasp for breath, instead of allowing them to go outside into the open air? Undoubtedly Mr. George is right. "The imperial race" will be born not of present conditions. Civic limitations can but demean human character. To grow large one must live in the open, where there is room for growth. And the problem that fronts us, and whose solution we must seek, is the problem of breaking the prison of city life, and sending its inhabitants to seek life and luxury from the storehouses of nature. o •— A TRYING WINTER Steffanson the Explorer had a Very Hard Time to Subsist in the North. Director of Geological Survey Receives Word From the Arctic Coast Forced by lack of healthy food to subsist at different periods on skins and snowshoe thongs, Mr. D. E. Stefansson, who is representing the American Museum of Natural History and the Canadian Geological Survey in some Arctic explorations, was reduced to extremities last winter on Cape Lyons, one of the most northern points in Canada. Recently Mr. R. W. Brock, of Ottawa, director of the geological survey, received a bright yellow letter, written on April 26th last by Dr. Stefansson. The precious missive had to be carried several hundred miles by Eskimo on snowshoes from Cap Lyons to an eastern point in Alaska. Once on board a trusty "whaler," it was safe and sound and looked as bright as a newly-minted coin when Mr. Brock received It. Mr. Stefansson, who is a native of Winnipeg, had with him Lieut. Anderson, of the American army, and five Eskimo. The party had many difficulties, and extreme privations to encounter during the winter. In his letter the writer tells of tims when they had practically no food, except skins and snow-shoe thongs. For three weeks steadily, they lived on a diet of deerskin, the Eskimo during that time eating up all the zoological specimens collected by the scientists of the party. Throughout, however, they were able to retain their records and instruments. Dr. Anderson and two of the Aborigines of the north had pneumonia, and ten dogs died from rigorous conditions. At that time, Mr. Stefansson wrote, the party was about to start for Coronation gulf, about 200 miles east of Cape Lyons. There was, he reported no further fear of a shortage in the food supply, as game was plentiful The one difficulty still confronting the exlporers was the great lack of dogs which makes travel across northern most Canada exceedingly difficult. Mr. Stefansson, who is mapping out the roof of Canada, sent down some of his geographical results. After three and a half years spent In ice-bound regions, with the auroras, and the midnight sun, he expects to return in the fall of next year. The coming winter will be spent in the vicinity of Coronation Gulf. NEW CHAMPION Henry Ordemann holds undisputed claim to the wrestling championship today, and his rival for the premiership, Dr. B.

Tuesday, November 22 1910 PRINCE RUPERT JOURNAL THE PANAMA CANAL Plans for the Conduct of it are Bv"« Arranged at Present Protection of the Great Waterway Comes up to Attention of U.S. Statesman With the work of the Panama canal progressing so rapidly as to insure completion of the ditch, per haps, a year sooner than January 1, 1915, the date originally set for the completion, President Taft finds it necessary to make a hurried visit to the Isthmus in order to secure firsthand knowledge of its problems as a basis for a programme of legislation for the canal which he intends to push through at the coming session of congress. The executive wants to anticipate the problems which will arise wheii the canal is completed. He wants to have everything covered prior to the opening so that there will be no necesity for legislative afterthoughts. Congress will be asked for the following legislation: — An appropriation of at least $2,- 000,000 for preliminary work in fortifying the canal. The total cost of fortification will probably be $15,- 000,000. Establishment of a definite government for the zone. Settlement of the rate to be paid by foreign vessels for passage through the canal. Disposition of the Panama railroad. Worktngmen's compensation for injuries. Salary adjustment of certain classes of laborers on the zone. President Taft's most perplexing problem of all is to determine the form of government to be established on the isf, lmus. In reality there is no government on the zone at present. Congress left to the president the job of administrating justice and enforcing the laws, but it did not specify he was to do it. So Colonel Roosevelt appointed a commission to work out the problems, and under this sort of a make-shift the work has gone ahead. With the canal fortified—and President Taft is determined that It shall be so defended—'I will be necessary to mainlaiu a large mili tary force on the zone, and this means that militar./ law will prevail over at least a part of the isthmus.

Colonel Goothals, who is the real wonder-worker on the isthmus, has officially estimated that the canal, complete, will have cost the United States $375,000,000. The total cost to June SO, 1910, was $210,146,468.58, the appropriations for the current year are $37,155,000. The flrst charge includes the $50,- 000,000 paid to the Panama government for the rights to the zone. The Suez canal charges are seven francs a ton for passage, $1.40. It is 90 miles in length. Actually, the Panama canal Is only 40 miles long, but with the dredging on the Atlantic and Pacific sides, it will be In reality a little over 50 miles. There Is already in operation across Mexico a transcontinental, ocean to ocean system of transfer—the Tehuantepec route. This, of course, Involes a transfer of freight from the vessel on one side, from a train, and again on the other side, from the train to another vessel. But It will be a competitor to the Panama canal. Because of this competition, Uncle Sam must make his rate through the canal attractive. It must be low enough to make it profitable for shipowners to send their vessels through It, rather than go to the cost of unloading on one side, transferring the freight to the Panama railroad and reloading on the other side. It Is this Panama railroad which furnishes another problem. At the present time all of the stock is owned by the secretary of war, under the treaty by which Panama granted the United States government practically sovereign rights over the canal zone strip. While Uncle Sam Is proceeding against trusts and combinations in restraint of trade ln the "States," he is in reality the owner of the biggest sort of a monopoly on the isthmus. The treaty with Panama granted the American government a monopoly of all transportation from coast to coast. When a form of government is provided for the zone, the Panama railroad must be handled ln some sort of a way. Nobody has any definite idea of how it is to be done. Representations for increases In salaries for certain classes of employees in the zone have been made to President Taft. He wants to investigate the matter at first hand. There is also the proposition of adequately compensating employees who have been injured in this line of duty. President Taft is also anxious to get a view of the "slide" on the Culebra cut. It was necessary at this point along the ditch to make a deep excavation. The perpendicular walls of earth on both sides have several times slid down into the cut and made it necessary to do the work all over again. Each time this happens the work is delayed, but engineers know no way to avoid it, and those in Panama view the misfortune philosophically. They say that it is better to have the slides take place now, with the only set back of a few weeks in excavation, than later, when the canal Itself might be damaged. A "slide" on the isthmus is always followed by rumors in the States that the canal has been irreparably damaged. It is as much to give the lie to these canards as anything else that the executive makes his pilgrimage to Panama. Have You A Bank Account?

Evidence That Western Municipal Securities Arc in IJeady Demand A report on his observations of the Boy Scout movement in Canada, written by General Sir Robert! Baden-Powell, has been received by Captain R. J. Birdwhistle, secretary of the scout movement for Canada. "I have no doubt now of the extended development of the movement in each province," says the general, after describing the cordially that attended his reception in all parts of the country. Speaking of Canada's needs for the scout movement, he remarks that the larger cities are rapidly becoming great manufacturing centres and the slum-boy will become like the "wasters" of great English cities unless something is done to help them. Mutual interest in the movement will be a bond of union lo cement the interests of French and English In Canada. The report says further:— "In view of the proximate formation of a Canadian navy and of the exceptional facilities for instruction afforded by the great lakes and rivers, 'sea-scouting' promises to be of value to the country in sounding the call of the sea to the boys and in teaching them the elements of seamanship. "I interviewed the following ministers: The premier, Sir Wilfrid Laurier, who sees in the scouting the possible education which he commends for the rising generation of unity in spirit and energetic progressive citizenship. "The minister of the interior, Hon. Mr. Oliver, whom I asked to help us by giving, if possible, a farm as a school for fitting British boy scouts for farm life in Canada in connection with one of the existing agricultural colleges. This would supply- a secondary course to the rolonial farm training school which we hope shortly to start In England. "The minister of marine, flon. Mr. Brodeur, who is very favorably Inclined to sea-scouting, whereby boys can be encouraged to learn tbe elements of seamen's work practically and without expense to Ihe state. "The minister of militia and defence, Hon. Sir F. Borden, to whom I explained how the scouts can be of assistance to the cadets as above indicated. "These ministers were all evidently very favorable to the development of the scheme. "A point which Impressed me was the keenness with which the public entered Into consideration of the scheme and backed it up. Already one or two offers have been received of ships to serve as club and training hulks for scouts becoming sea- scouts. Also, I hope that other public-spirited men will similarly present boats for the same purpose, or that they will present handcarts and extincteurs to fire brigade troops, portable telegraph equipment or hand ambulance carts to troops who show efficiency In these directions." o For Job Printing or all kinds see ne Journal man. One of the best sales of city debentures ever recorded in the city of New Westminster was closed out recently by Mayor Lee and the members of the finance committee of the city council when the offer of Stlm- son & Co., of Toronto, of t02 1-2, and 102 3-8 for $373,400 worth of 5 per cent debentures extending over periods from 20 to 50 years was accepted, subject to the ratification of the deal by the city council. The local improvement debentures issued bear interest at 5 per cent, and the balance at 4 1-2 per cent. The price realized is conceded by financial men to be surprisingly good and the mayor and members of the finance committee in New Westminster are well pleased with the result of the negotiations of the past few weeks. A large number of offers were received from various financial institutions, that of Stimson & Co. being the best. For 181,400 of 5 per cent 20 year debentures the price offered was 102 3-8. For the $192,000 of 4 1-2 per cent 50 year debentures the price offered is something over 94 2-5 Figuring this on the basis of 20 year 5 per cent debentures the price realized for these is the equivalent of 102 1-2. Th sale of these debentures indicates clearly that the city of New Westminster occupies a most enviable position in the eyes of the financial world today, says the Columbian. Men prominent in financial circles in speaking of the offer to Mayor Lee slated that this advanced price, in Hie face of the fact that money is harder to get and that municipal bonds are not selling as easily nor as high as at this time last year, speaks volumes for the excellent financial standing of this city. Last year at about this time Stimson & Co., purchased $398,000 worth of 5 per cent debentures from the city the price paid being par. This issue was larger, the rate of interest uniform and bonds more easily marketable at that time. In view of these facts, in the opinion of Mayor Lee, the offer received for this year's debentures from the same firm is one of the best boosts the city ever had. Mr. J. H. MacNeil, representing Slim- son & Co., has been on the Pacific Coast for sometime and hns had ample opportunity to enquire Into the nffalrs of this city. His offer Is all Ihe more flattering to Ihe city.

Tuesday, November -2, 191C PILOTAGE Al'THOHITV The Hoard of Trade has decided to ask for tin- appointment of a pilotage authority here to deal with the providing of a pilol or pilots tor thin pun. The Information that Captain li- Coskrle was able to give the Board a few days ago threw considerable light upon a subject about which ordinary laymen engaged in other than navigation might not be expected to know much about. According to the information thai Capt. McCoskrie gives, the underwriters and the shipping companies are the mosl deeply concerned in the matter of pilotage. If the attention of the underwriters is called to the fact that vessels enter here without a properly instructed pilot who knows all the local conditions in the waters surrounding here they will increase the rate of insurance. This is but tbe common practice, he says, and all ports are up against it. The cost 3f this insurance comes out of the owners and in the last analysis out ot the shippers. If an accident happens as is liable under the very best of management and a large steamer coming into port without a locally trained pilot happens to be caught on some rock and breaks up, outsiders not understanding all the circumstances and unaware that an attempt was being made to enter without a pilot, come to the conclusion that this port is a difficult one to enter. The reputation of the port which is one of the best in Hie world loses as a result of this act. In view |of these circumstances one Is forced to the conclusion that there is a necessity for introducing a pilotage authority and thus avoid the incalculable injury which might be done the port by such a circumstance as has been referred to. o CITY WARDS divisable equally among the new number of wards. We are not charging any deep plot on the part of any one in this collection, but we do advise investigation into the matter so that it may be righted in time and legal difficil- ties avoided perhaps which might be very embarrassing. o PETITION FORGOTTEN" It would appear that in connection witli the bylaw to provide means for putting in the Electric Light plant omission was made of the necessary petition which must be signed by ratepayers before the council moves ti such a matter. If such is the case the civic authorities might well look into it and make sure- of iis position so thai there may be no upsetting of the bylaw on n technicality. If the error Inn' got to lie corrected, the sooner it is done Ihe better for the city at large. o ." "l.,,.lJij..uc«J.'-*-jwi»Eji;-ir^r:;::--.—it.":T.,.l,^fl!TtrT7T:'j-. !.

B The next election in the city for the selection of a municipal council will be under the ward system. This is a provision of Hie Municipal Clauses Act and the council has complied with that requirement and provided wards. There is a point, however, in connection with this that we feel the council should fully consider before it is too late to amend the ward bylaw. This is whether the provision that one ward shall be represented by five aldermen and the other by three aldermen is in conformity with the statute. When the bylaw was introduced tiie writer suggested to a member of Ihe council concerned in seeing the bylaw through that it was unusual and might be Invalid. We were assured il was not so and with the Act not at hand at the lime we gave little thought to it. A reference to the Municipal Clauses Act, however, leaves us still firmly convinced that the course pursued is nol according to the Act. Section 24 of the Act says: — "The Council of every municipality Shall divide the same into wards and may from time to time alter such divisions so as to allow all the different portions to be equally represented in I lie council, as near as may &e on The basis of Hie nssessed valuo as shown on Ihe last revised assessment roll." Other subsections dealing Willi the tedlvtsion, the abolition of wards, i How, lint have no direct, bearing on thi.^ nclion of the council, iphlch is to In- embodied in Hie ward liylaw. Tin- Aci provides for equal representation of the different wards il ippears mid the bus's fo- the ward ilviston is to lie Hie assessed viiiuj or property. The present division Into two wards is not on the basis of making the wards equal as to assessment, but in the proportion of five to three, and the representation cannot, surely be described as equal in view thai live aldermen are returned from one ward and three from another. We know of no other plane in the province where the wards are not represented by an equal number of representatives, In fact, we know of an instance where it was found advisable to Increase the number of wards and legislation had to be pro- i iil'-d to alter the number of aldermen so us to make the total number Editor of the Prince Rupert Journal. Sir:—Some kind friend of mine lias forwarded me a copy of the Empire of November 12 with portions of Hie editorial in reference to the Skeena mail service underlined, and as some of the statements were grossly misleading, I would like to see them corrected. Since the first of January the winter contract was for four hundred pounds per week, not including the Foley, Welch & Stewart mail, which would bring it over five hundred, and since steamboat navigation ceased the mails have averaged over 'one thousand pounds and have included third and fourth class matter. While unfortunate that the G.T.P. are not in a position to handle passengers and mail at the present time, none but the rankest pessimist could doubt that they will handle all freight offering as far as Kitselas during the coming year, and with all the river boats operating between Kitselas and points up river, there need be no anxiety. The mails will not be carried by dog team until it is impossible to get a canoe up the Skeena by which time it is likely that arrangements will be made to carry all mail matter, as at present, even during the most uncertain season of canoe service. As the Empire said "the pioneer lot was hard enough," evidently forgetting that conditions have improved a good deal in the past two years, and that the mail service has kept pace with the general improvement. In any case let us avoid the chance of any misrepresentation that might discourage possible settlers, and minimize rather than exaggerate the difficulties they are likely to encounter. BARNEY MULVANY. Port Essington, Nov. 16, 1910. o WHAOHE "SCOTT ACT" SAYS Anything appearing in this column under the above head is published by the Press Committee of the opponents of the Scott Act and is not intended as representing the views of this paper. There seems to be considerable doubt in the minds of the people of Prince Rupert as to just what the question is on which they will be required lo vote next month. Some seem to think tliut the question is une of Local Option, but this is not the case. Local Opt ion as the term is generally understood is a Provln-I clal law giving to municipalities, throughout the province the light to say whether or not liquor shall be sold within their boundaries Whether or not it is right Hint a majority of ihe people should be allowed toi dictate lo the minority on matters so closely concerning the individual as n matter of diet is not so much the question as the fact that any provincial act has behind it the full authority of the provincial police and stands a fair chance of being enforced. The Act, however, which certain parties are endeavoring to saddle on Prince Rupert is an old Dominion Act, originally passed In 1864, before 'it itish Columbia was a part, of confederal li ii, and which lias been amended from time to time in an effort to make it. workable. It has only mtly been amended to make it applicable to British Columbia, and Prince Rupert has the distinction of being the first town asked to pass on it in this province. As there are few copies of the Act in town, and as no attempt seems to have bee-i made by those in favor of it to print an> copies for circulation in order that its provisions may be known, the opponents of the -let in <iu.e3P.Gli, called after its author, the S-vitt Ac*, have arranged that the more vital portions shall be printed in this paper, believing that it has only to be known to insure its defeat. We will not print the whole Act because space is valuable but as a chain is no stronger than its weakest link so an Act of Parliament must be judged clause by clause, and there will be no a I tempt made to garble any portion printed. The Canada Temperance Act is made up of three parts. Part I treats of the method of bringing the act into force by petition signed by a certain percentage of the electorate, and lays down the roles under which a vote shall be conducted. As this petition has already been signed and sent to Ottawa and a vote allowed there is no necessity to gi into these deails. Parts 'i and 3 deal vith the Act itself and the penalities attached lo it and it is these which we propose to print. The first clause under this heading Is 117. which as amended on the 20th July, 1908, reads as follow^:-- "From the day on which this part comes into force and lakes effect in any county or city, and tor so long thereafter as, and ivmie the same continues or is in tore.; therein, no person shall, except as in this part specially provided, bv himself, his clerk, servant or agon".. - - "(a) expose or keep for sale, within such county or city, any intoxicating liquor; or, '(b) directly or indirectly, on ary pretence, rr upon any device within any such county or city,' st'l or barter or in consideration of the purchase of any other prjpe.r'y, give, to any other persau any intoxicating liquor; or, "(c) send, ship, bring or carry, or cause to be shipped, sent, brought or carried to or into any such county or city, any intoxicating liquor; or, "(d) deliver to any consignee or other person, or store, warehouse, oi keep lor delivery, any Intoxicating 11 quor, so sent, shipped, brought or carried "2. Paragraphs (c) and (d) of subsection I of this section shall not apply to any intoxicating liquor sent, shipped, brought or carried to any person or persons for his or their personal or family use, except it be so shipped, brought or carried to be paid for in such county or city to the person delivering the same, his clerk, servant or agent, or his master or principal, if the person delivering it is himself a servant or agent. "3. No act done in violation of the provisions of this section shall be rendered lawful by reason of: — "(a) any license issued to any distiller or brewer; or "(b) any license for retailing on board any steamboat or other vessel, brandy, rum, whiskey or other spirituous liquors, wine, ale, beer, porter, cider, or other vinous or fermented liquors; or, "(c) any license for retailing on any steamboat or other vessel, wine, ale, beer, porter or other vinous or fermented liquors, but not brandy, rum, whiskey or other spirituous liquors; or, "(d) any license of any other description whatsoever." It will be seen at once that the above is class legislation of the very worst kind and was probably added to the act in an endeavor to catch the large farmer vote ln the Eastern Provinces. Why should the possession of a home of one's own confer a right In the matter of eating or drinking not possessed by a man who lives in a boarding house or hotel? There Is not the slightest doubt that the man who lives In a hotel could nol have liquor brought fh without I subjecting the proprietors lo the dan-; ger of prosecution. The same applies to a boarding house or mess so that we have here a direct appeal to the I householders to lay down a rule for the other man which they are not willing lo subscribe, to themselves. Bul us a large percentage of the people of Prince Rupert are not householders, it is u]i to them to protect themselves, though it is doubtful if, even among the householders themselves there will be found many who are afflicted with such an acute form of selfishness as the Act presupposes. In future issues of this paper we will take up other clauses of this net. and endeavor to show just what their effect would be If adopted In ihis town. The British Columbia Company LIMITED.

WORKMEN'S INSURANCE Council Will Place Business in Hands of Mack Company Executive Committee Will Consider Matters of Detail When General Meeting Will Be Called Prince Rupert can now boast its Canadian Club, an organization that is destined, it is safe to say, to become one of the most popular institutions in the city. Elsewhere in the Dominion these clubs are doing much to foster a strong Canadian sentiment. II affords also the menns by which distinguished visitors to the city may be heard upon some topic in an unceremonious way by the members. At the Initial meeting last night which was held in Major Gibson's home-like quarters on Second avenue, there were about forly present. It was decided to form a club and a nominating committee was appointed, consisting of C. W. Peck, Col. Davis, Rev. Mr. Kerr, Rev. Mr. James, and Dr. Tremayne. After a short session the committee was able to report and the election of officers followed, the following being elected: President, Judge Young; flrst vice president, Bishop Du Vernet; second vice president, W. Manson, M.P.P.; secretary, Dr. Clayton; literary correspondent, C. V. Bennett; treasurer, H. F. McRae; executive commitee, Dr. Kergin, G. R. Naden, V. W. Smith, G. R. Em- merson, G. A. McNicholl, D.

All present joined the club and it was decided that the executive would make arrangements for a general meeting later when matters connected with the organization would come up. o A MEXICAN REVOLT Fierce Fighting is Reported in Different Parts of the Country. Rebels in Southern Republic Are . . Spreading Terrors Throughout the Land (Special to The Journal) Mexico, Nov. 22.—Fierce fighting is reported from Durango Torreon, Harral, and Palachia. The latter place has fallen into the hands of the rebels. It is reported that 200 persons were killed at Zacnteeas in the fighting with the insurgents. There is evidently a deep plot on foot to overthrow President Diaz who has for so long had such a warm place among the people. The brains of the revolutionary movement are in the United States and Europe. The revolutionists are backed by a seemingly inexhaustible supply of money which has been used to purchase arms in tliis country. The revolutionary propaganda seems to be; — The release of all political prisoners; the welcoming of all political exiles; the establishment of a popular government; the capture of all customs houses; removal from office of Diaz and his adherents. The City Council will henceforth see that th men employed in civic work under contractors are ensured. A recommendation from the finance committee was introduced last evening to the eeffct that the-offer of the Mack Realty & Insurance Company should be accepted in this matter. Aid. Hilditch wanted information as to why a single company was specified. Aid. Pattullo explained that an offer had been made by that company to do the insuring at two per cent, which he found war low; indeed, lower than the Foley, Welch & Stewart company got Insurance. Had there been competition and tenders invited the companies would have tendered for a much rate. He had no preference and recommended this purely as a matter of business. Aid. Hildltch did not think that the city should undertake to Insuro men. This should be left to the contractors. Aid. Pattullo said this was decided upon for the small contractors. The minimum fee was $25. This proposition provided for a much lower rate. Aid. Hilditch had not had very satisfactory results from the Mack company. He supposed all of them were the same, however. Aid. Lynch favored the city carrying the Insurance. • If that were not, done he felt that some of the men would be uninsured. He did not know anything as to the merits ol this particular company. Aid. Hilditch felt that all the companies were alike. If the working men did not accept the offer mads they had to fight It. The individual contractor, he felt, would place ths insurance with the company thai would deal the best. On a vote being taken to adopt the report of the committee, the mo tion carried on the following division: Ayes—Aldermen Pattullo, Smith. Lynch and Mclntyre. Nays—Aldermen Hilditch, Barrow and Naden. o COMPLIMENTARY EPITHETS AGAINST SIDEWALK Petition Received by Council Relative to Heavy Side Paths on Second Avenue Rat Extermination Again Comes Up Before Aldermen on Letter From Outside Subject of Stationery And the Union Label Before Council DIED IMPENITENT Count Tolstoi Passed Away Without Benediction of deck Church (Special to The Journal) St. Petersburg, Nov. 22.—Count Tolstoi passed away early yesterday without the offices of the clergy of the Greek church in ills last hours. The countess Is In a precarious condition owing to grief ul bis actions In leaving home nnd in refusing to receive tha benediction of Ihe church in bis closing hours. Aid. Hilditch at the council meeting last evening asked a' question relative to the Empire's report that stationery had been destroyed because it bore the union label. He wanted to know If anyone could give information on this point as he never heard of It before. Aid. Pattullo said this statement was on a par with previous statements from the same source. It was a lie with venomious reasons behind it. He never made any such order as was referred to and never knew anything of paper being destroyed. — —o NO j LIBERAL ENTERS The objections of a number ot property owners living on Second avenue between Sixth and Eighth streets relative to the putting In ot such an expensive sidewalk as was contemplated were set forth before the council last evening in a petition. Several of those who signed the original petition asking for the sidewalks were upon the list. Among other points set forth were that they could not see the necessity for putting in such an expensive sidewalk as proposed ln order to ovei come the neglect of the council in failing to make a contract that would protect them during the construction of the roadway, hy obliging the contractor to keep the roadway open; I hat the sidewalk would be worn and otherwise impaired by team traffic on It; and that they did not want to pay the government's share of the cost as would be necessary. This was referred to the streets committee. Cut Off W'ater P. Burns & Co. complained that the water had been shut off from their place without warning, thus doing damage to their gasoline engine. They complained this had happened twice. Aid. Hilditch asked the reason foi the cutitng off, but the acting mayor said he had no information on the subject. It was referred to the water and light committee. Rat Extermination A letter was received from E. A. Hoard addressed to the manager of the Bank of B.N.A., dealing with the subject of rat extermination. He had visited Prince Rupert and felt that steps should be taken at once to kill off these rodents, enclosing a paper by Prof. Lancaster dealing with the danger from these with respect to the spread of disease especially the bubonic plague. Aid. Mclntyre felt that the paper might be published. He fully^reali ized the danger from these rats. Aid. Smith advised the company to see a simple rat trap that Foley, Welch & Stewart were using with success. ,, The letter was referred to the Health committee. * CITY PUBLICITY Question as it Affects Prince Rupert Brought Before Board of Trade Yale Constituency Will Not be Contested by the Opposition Difference Arises as to Whether John Oliver or Stuart Henderson Should Hun Miss Kale McTavish, matron at the new general hospital of ibis city, has arrived in town, and in order that she might become better acquainted with the ladies of the city before entering upon her duties, Mrs. Angus Stewart has very kindly consented to hold a reception for her at her home on Fourth avenue on Thursday, Nov. 24, between the hours of 3.30 and 5.30 p.m. In connection with the reception there will be a variety shower for the purpose of furnishing the hospital. Anything which will be suitable for use in the hospital will be gladly received and will he welcomed by the Ladies Aux- ilinry. All ladies or the city nre kindly invited to be present to meet Miss McTavish and welcome her to the city, also to assist in making the variety shower a success. The Liberals who met in convention at Spence's Bridge last Wednesday, adjourned without nominating a candidate to contest the Yale constituency against Mr. Lucas, the Con- servntlve nominee. Divisions in the party were apparent from the outset. The delegates were divided between Mr, Stuart Henderson and Mr. John Oliver, the latter being tho former leader of the Liberal opposition in tho province, who was defeated in his home constituency of Delta last election.. Some sections of the constituency were not represented by delegates, and one centre, Merrltt, sent a resolution against contesting th election. Mr. Henderson refused to stand as candtdate unles she was the unanimous choice of the convention, and it was not possible to arrive at the desired unanimity from the fact that the Nicola valley delegation bad been sent pledged to Mr. Oliver's cause. With the failure of the Liberal convention to make a nomination, 'he only opposition in sigbl to Mr. I.nens' election is Mr. .Tnlien. the iirospectlve Independent candidate whose retirement from the contest is already rumored. Polling Is fixed for Nov. 28. At the meeting of the Board of Trade on Saturday night last the question of publicity for the city again came up on a letter from Mr. Von Dohlen, formerly a resident here, who wrote Mr. Law on a proposition for uniting the secretarial duties of the Board of Trade and the Real Estate Exchange, bringing the publicity end of the city's work under the Board of Trade. Members of the Real Exchange Exchange expressed satisfaction with the present secretary of that organization and held out no hopes for the new applicant for the position, Mr. Hull. Old. members of the Publicity Club recalled some of the difficulties they had, while Aid. Naden made a proposal that the city council might make a vote for publicity purposes or, say $1,000, and the whole work be brought under the Board of Trade. A committee will go Into the whole subject. o STEWART INCORPORATION Report of Delegates Who Mot Premier Received There was a crowded attendance Thursday evening at tiie public meeting, held in Hie Presbyterian climb hall, to receive the report of the delegation sent lo Prince Rupert to meet Premier McBride and to endorse the action of the executive committee in securing a loan of $1,000 from Ihe government to provide lire fighting apparatus, says the Portland Canal Miner. Presldenl T. J. Vaughan-Rhys, on behalf of the delegation, presented in detail th report of the conference with the premier, Tie statd thai If the citizens of the old townslte want d Incorporation he had Hie assurance of Mr. McBride thai same would be granted whether or not D. D. Mann's intersts were included. P. F. Godenrath spoke on the necessity of securing financial assistance for the purchase of fire apparatus and brought in a resolution which was unanimously carried that $1,000 be borrowed from the government to be a charge against the future city. After a motion to lay over the question of incorporation was defeated, Frank Martin moved that the citizens of Stewart go on record as favoring incorporation at the earliest possible moment, which was seconded by Harry Smith. The secretary then read a proposed act for the incorporation of the town. This was ordered typewritten and posted in public places so that all citizens might study same and be prepared to discuss the act when William Man- son, M.P.P., speaks at a public meeting to be held next Friday evening in Hartley's hall. . . o i *.;..;..;. *.;..;..;..;..;. * * * *.;. *.;. * * * .;• ••• SKIDEGATE NEWS f ►j, -'• .*.....-..% .*. .*.... .*, *■. .*, .-. .*..-. .*..»., .-..-. »*< .*. .*. .*. .** .** »•* .** .*. (Special Correspondence) Skidegate, Nov. 17.—At Queen Charlotte hospital or. November 13, Mr. Beaeher, who has been watchman at Pacofi for the last two years, died. He had contracted a severe cold before going aboard the steamer Amur in Vancouver on her last trip up the coast. When he went aboard he felt fairly well, but on the morning after he was much worse, and by the time he reached Pacofi it was decided by himself and others that he come on to Queen Charlotte hospital. On arriving in Queen Charlotte he walked to the hospital assitsed bj some friends. He grew rapidly worsu and seccumbed to an acute attack of pleuro-pneumonia. He was an industrious, trustworthy man and much respected by all who knew him. He evidently did not suspect that his malady was as serious as it was. Daily on the way from Vancouver he left his bed and went to other parts of the ship through the draughts which no doubt aggravated the case. All are sorry to lose such a citizen from our midst from our midst. He was buried at Queen Charlotte. Mr. J. L. Barge had charge of the funeral. Rev. A. Caley, of Queen Charlotte, officiated at the funeral. Selling Off Stock The stock of goods, in what has been known as Oi 1 Works Store (Queen Charlotte Pkg. Co.) is being rapidly reduced. The company have decided, to close out the stock at reduced prices and already most of It lias been sold. Whether the same company will again-stock up or some one else open up business remains to be seen. This store and wharf in connection with it, is an old land-mark. For many years Mr. R. Tennant and others conducted a profitable business in refining dog fish oil. It was for about thirty years the only wharf on Graham island and all are sorry to see it fal into disuse. It is in fact a strategic point and some one will no doubt open up business there. For any one wishing to engage in fishing industry this old site is a very de- , sirahle one. Wireless Equipment The steamer Leebro has been de- j livering supplies and material to the I wireless station for several days past. Building Residence Mr. E. E. Stephens is building a residence oh bis pre-emption at Dena river about eight miles from Skidegate.

LICENSE FOR FIREARMS Fernie.—The grand jury in their presentment recommended that no person should be allowed to have firearms in their possession without first taking out a license for the same, these licenses to be issued at the option of the Chief of Provincial Police; and that strong and immediate action be taken in the matter, also that the police search foreign laborers for weapons. ( (INFLICTING REGULATIONS New Westminster,—Owing to conflicting regulations enacted by tbe Dominion government on the recommendation of the Dominion department of marine and fisheries, all kinds of fish caught in a seven inch mesli net in the Fraser river may still be sold regardless of the regulations prohibiting the catching of cohoes and dog salmon after November 15. The fishermen are allowed to continue to use the spring salmon nets after that date to catch steel- heads and naturally cannot help catching some colloes and dog salmon. As it would be useless to throw these fish back into the river again the fishermen will be allowed to sell them as usual, notwithstanding the fact that it is a direct violation of the existing regulations. "The regulations are not very satisfactory even to us," remarked an official of the local fisheries office this morning, "and we are hoping that there- will be a number of amendments made this year." SCOTTISH ORDER Victoria.—To amalgamate all the Scottish societies of British Columbia so as to form a Scottish order in the province is the aim of the Victoria society and in furtherance of the scheme favorable replies have already been received from all the branches in the province. It is proposed to hold a provincial convention next summer when the idea will probably take definite shape. The convention will be enlivened by a provincial field meet, a dinner and possibly a concert. REFUSE COMMISSION Vancouver.—The Provincial Government upon the recommendation of the Minister of Education, Hon. Dr. Young, has decided that the appointment of a Royal Commission as asked for by the members of the city trustee board, to investigate general charges of maladministration attributed to the Vancouver School board, canont be granted.

In other words it was acocmpllshed with half a day to the good and over $5,000 to spare. It was decided to devote the spare half day to collecting funds to pay off a debt of $20,000 on the building of the Young Women's Christian Association. When the Young Men's total was announced on he last day as $52,485, or a grand total of $279,- 393 collected during the whole campaign there was a scene of unparalleled enthusiasm. The subscriptions easily eclipse any previous record in a Canadian city, since the amount subscribed will average $5 per head for every man, woman and child of the whole population. The gifts ranged from 75 cents to fiv sums of $25,000. There were three subscriptions of $10,000 each, and IS of $5,000. A closing rally was held on Saturday evening at which nn announcement was made that the total subscriptions to the Y.M.C.A. fund would approximate $515,000 while an extra $6,000 was collected to pay of the debt of the Y.W.C.A. A number of addresses were delivered and a resolution of smy.pathy was passed and will be tendered Mr. C. W. Ford, one of the active workers in the campaign, on account of the dreadful bereavement which he suffered in the loss of his eldest son, Dr. Harry Ford, found dead in the woods on Saturday. SALE OF DEBENTURES I Victoria.—An excellent showing in respect to the financial standing of the city of IVctoria is made in the sale of debentures, for which tenders had been called for. The firm of G. A. Stimson & Co., Toronto, have purchased through their agent, to. Cavendish Macneill, who is at present in the city, over half a millian dol- j Iars worth of debentures, issued for' various purposes for $96.04 and Interest. This was the highest figure offered by several bidders, the next '■ highest being $95.75. .Messrs. Stimson & Co., Toronto,! has also just completed the purchase ! of about $40,000 worth of New West- J minster debentures. A hundred miles long is this uncharted steam; fifty feet wire, eight feet deep, crystal-clear, calm, slow and deep to the margin; a steamer could ply on its deep, placid, unob- structd flood, a child could navigate it anywhere, so writes Ernest Tbomp- son-Seton in the November Scribner on the Athabaska river in an article entitled "The Arctic Prairies—the Land of the Buffalo." Continuing, he says: The heavenly beauty of the shores, Willi virgin forests of fresh green spruces towering a hundred feet on every side, or varied in open places with long rows and thick set hdges of the gorgeous wild red Athabaska rose, made a stream that most canoemen, woodmen and naturalists think without a fault or flaw, and with every river beauty in its highest possible degree. Not trees and flood alone had strenuous power to win our souls; at every point and bank, in very bend, were living creatures of the nortli, beaver and bear, not often seen, but abundant! moose tracks showed from time to time, and birds were here in thousands. Rare winter birds, as we had long been taught to think them in our southern homes; here we found them in their native land, and heard not a few- sweet melodies of which in far-away Ontario, Jersey and Maryland we had been favored only with promising scraps when wintry clouds were broken by the sun. Nor were the old familiar ones away—fliclrer, sap- sucker, hairy woodpecker, kingfisher, least flycatcher, alder flycatcher, roben and crow and horned owl were here to mingle their noises with the stranger melodies and calls of Lincoln sparrow, fox sparrow, olivesided flycatcher, snipe, rusty blackbird and bohemian wax-wing. I never saw hornedow] so plentiful elsewhere. I did not know that there were so many bear and beaver left. I never was so much impressed by the splendid raucous clamor of the cranes, the continual spatter of ducks the cries of gulls and yellowlegs. Hour after hour we paddled down that stately river, adding our three and a half miles to its one-mile speed; each turn brought to view some new and lovelier aspect of bird and forest life. I never knew a land of balmier air; I never felt tbe piney breeze more sweet; nowhere but in the higher mountains is there such a tonic sense abroad; the bright woods and river reaches were eloquent of a clime whose,maladies are mostly foreign born.

Nunicipalities Discuss Questions of Interest. Convention Dealt With Subjects That Are to go Hefore the Government At the sixth annual convention of the Union of British Columbia Municipalities held at Salmon Arm, and brought to a close Friday night by a banquet, there were forty-three delegates present, the largest number In attendance since its inception. President Bell in his report stated that he would like to have the attention of the government drawn to the necessity of passing legislation dealing with the width of streets ln towns and cities, and dealing with the white slave traffic. Tbe secretary's report showed a balance on hand of $822.04. All members of the cabinet sent letters expressing regret that they could not be present. The following recommendations to the government, made by the executive, were ordered re-submitted, as no action had up to the present been taken. Asking that the Municipal Clauses Act be divided into three classes, for cities of the first and second class, and for rural municipalities; re industrial home; municipal ownership of telephones; votes for householders in other municipalities which wish It, the same as In New Westminster, vote on local Improvement by-laws; declarations of householders; licensing bankers, and continuity in office of council. Also to recommend that the government see that all lands under lease from the Dominion government are assessed. The resolutions committee was asked to draw up a resolution to the government asking that it pass a local Improvement general act. The constitution of the union was amended, on motion of Mayor Robin, son, so that in future municipal solicitors, engineers, clerks, health officers and electricians are eligible as delegates. A strong resolution, proposed by Reeve Pound, of South Vancouver, was adopted, asking the government to take over the sanatorium at Tran- quille for both incipient and advanced cases of tuberculosis and to introduce legislation providing for the maintenance of the institution by assessment of all municipalities, such assessment to be based on either the assessment roll or the population. Papers were read on the automobile question by Reeve Byrne, and on municipal publicity by Mayor Lee. On the programme was an open discussion on the question of municipal government by commission or board of control but this was left over until next year's convention. In the meantime the executive are to secure papers from experts dealing with the subject in readiness for the next meeting. The election of officers resulted as follows: — President—Mayor Planta, of Nanaimo. Mayor Bell was nominated for re-election, but declined the nomination as he intends retiring from municipal life. Vice President—Mayor Robinson, Kamloops. Secretary-treasurer—H. Bose, Surrey, re-elected. Executive committee — Twelve names were proposed and the following seven eleced—Reeve Byrne, Burnaby; Mayor Sutherland, Kelowna; Mayor Hamilton, Revelstoke; Aid. Bannerman, Victoria; Reeve Mc- Naught, of Nortli Vancouver district, and Aid. Enrlgbt, of Vancouver, and Mayor Lee of New Westminster. Victoria was chosen as the place for the next meeting after a spirited contest between that city, Chilliwack and New Westminster. It was n most successful gatherlig and It is a noteworthy fact lhal out of 19 municipalities in the province 44 nrc niemin is of the unior. IRELAND'S PARLIAMENT Proposal of the Imperial Home Rule Association The Imperial Home Rule Association, a body composed chiefly of Irish Liberals, has drafted a scheme of home rule on a comprehensive scale. Under this scheme Ireland's parliament, would consist of a house of commons of 150 members and a senate of lift.y-six members, the former to be elected for three and the latter for five yars. Each county and county borough would elect a senator, except Dublin and Belfast, which would each return two; and fifteen would be elected by the universities. Ireland would be represented in tbe imperial parliament by fifteen members for every million in habitants, which means there would J be between sixty and seventy Irish representatives at Westminster. The lord-lieutenant, no longer a member of the imperial government, would select the head of the executive to be known as the first lord of the treasury, who in turn would choose ministers of finance, local government, education, agriculture and commerce, public works, and posts and telegraphs. These, with the lord chancellor, the attorney- general and the solicitor-general, would form the administration. The activities of the Dublin parliament would be confined strictly to matters relating to the internal government of the country. It would have no power to legislate on questions affecting Irish relationship with other countries, national defence, the levying of customs or excise duties, or on any item comprised In a schedule of "prohibited" subjects. A parliamentary court of appeal would be constituted, consisting of two Irish and three imperial lords justices, by whom all legislative and administrative acts of the Irish authority would be reviewed. Any act which the court regarded as beyond the powers of the parliament would become null and void, unless the decision were reversed by the judicial committee of the imperial privy council. In the event of disagreement, senators and commons would meet in joint session to determine the issue. o CRIME RECORD Report of Minister of Justice Gives Interesting Information A WHITE PROVINCE Provincial Government Consider the Question of Introducing High Class Help. Legislature Will Be Asked to Vote Adidtional Sum to Assist The annual report of the minister of justice now to hand shows that crime, like everything else ln Canada, Is on the Increase, though apparently the growth Is much slower than in other and better things. There were 15,350 charges and 11,- 449 convictions for indictable offences during the year ended September 30, 1909, an increase of 110 charges and 115 convictions during the year. Both Jcharges and convictions have increased during the year in Prince Edward Island, Saskatchewan and Alberta, while they have decreased in New Brunswick, Quebec, Manitoba and British Columbia; as for Ontario and the Yukon, the figures show a decrease in charges and an Increase in convictions; whereas in Nova Scotia the charges are higher and convictions lower in 1909 than they were the year before. The percentage of acquittals for 1909 Is lower than the general average in New Brunswick, Quebec, Manitoba, British Columbia and the Yukon, and higher in Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Saskatchewan and Alberta. In proportion to population the share of criminality is lower in the Maritime Provinces and Quebec than elsewhere, while it is highest In British Columbia and the Yukon. Throughout Canada there were forty- two charges and eighteen convictions for murder; attempted murder twen- ey-eight charges and fourteen convictions; manslaughter, thirty-six charges and twenty-four convictions. Of the forty-two charges for murder, fifteen were tried in Ontario, eleven In British Columbia, five in New Brunswick, three each in Quebec and Saskatchewan, and one in Nova Scotia. There were 7,404 charges of theft and 5,761 convictions, and 1,125 charges of burglary and highway robbery, with 848 convictions. There were 274 convictions for perjury, and nine convictions for usury. There were 711 pardons granted, including 578 tickets or leave. o NEW EDITION Immigration questions in their various ramifications were tentatively considered at a recent meeting of the provincial executive, being brought forward by Hon. W. J. Bowser as acting finance minister in a verbal report of his conference with Commissioner Coombs and Col. Lamb of the Salvation Army with respect to an extension and development of the plan adopted last year for bringing out Old Country domestic servants and bona fide laborers with provincial aid and under the Army's auspices. The arrangement entered into prior to last session of advances to the new-comers through the Army, has been found to work out most advantageously to all directly concerned and to the country; and a supplementary grant for the extension of a work so auspiciously inaugurated will be included in the estimates for the coming session. Under last year's grant of ?20,000 a commodious and admirably equipped reception home for the Army's domestic colonists has been provided in Vancouver, at a cost of approximately $10,000; while 160 young women, thoroughly trained in housewifely employments instead of the 100 guaranteed by the Army when the arrangement was entered into have been introduced to British Columbia. All have been readily placed in situations imemdiately upon arrival— In fact the demand has far exceeded the supply—and all have proven themselves servants of just the class that the country needs. Some few have married since coming to British Columbia and these and others ln employment are making returns to the Army on accbunt of the advances made to them for passage moneys and expenses, these refunds being thus available for further prosecution of this assisted immigration plan. Special action to meet the necessities of the provincial fruit growers for a more adequate labor supply, particularly for the picking and packing of the orchard output was also considered by the members of the cabinet, it being freely conceded that the orchardists at present labor in this connection, and that such relief as it may be possible to afford should he given them. The government will, however, stand firmly against the relaxation In any slightest particular of its well understood and consistently maintained policy of restricting by every means at its command the introduction of every class of Asiatic labor— be it Chinese, Japanese or East India—in fact all Imimgration that Is non-assimilative and capable of being ultimately developed into good clti- enship. , o WHAT'S IN A NAME? The University of Cambridge has taken over the control and copyright of the Encyclopaedia Brltannlca, and will publish a new and complete ei}- i lion aboul the end if the present year. It is said that this, the eleventh edition, which lias been elghl years in preparation, entirely supersedes preceding (Millions of the great work, and Is a wholly fresh and original survey or all existing knowledge In every field or human thought, research and achievement. Il will be comprised in 2S quarto volumes, of which the last will be devoted to a full and comprehensive index. In more than one department, says the University Press, the new encyclopaedia has been deliberately made the medium through which mltherto unpublished theories and discoveries are now first made accessible to the world. An important feature of the new encyclopaedia will be the great, reduction of its bulk and weight by the use of India paper. On this paper it will occupy but two feet of shelf room and Its weight will not exceed sixty pounds,, making il a comparatively portable work. The ordinary paper impression will weigh more than two hundred pounds and occupy nearly six feet of shelf-room. mrnmm The Westholme Lumber Company, Ld.

Hilditch is Not Satisfied With tile Course Pursued in Admitting Names Tiie city council last evening bad presented for its consideration the opinion of the city solicitor relative to the subject of placing names of property owners on the voters' list, wiib special attention to the steps to be taken to prevent those who were not Britisli subjects from going on. The city clerk rend a communication from to, 10. Williams on this subject, as follows: — "In reply to your communication of the 18th inst., in regard to the above matter, we would say that section 13 of tiie Municipal Elections Act as interpreted by us means as follows: — "1. No person not a British subject shall take any steps to have his or her name inserted on the voters' list. "2. No person as above shall be allowed to vote at any municipal election. "As for the position of the city clerk it would appear to be largely a mechanical one, subject to the following rules:— "(a) Any person who has declared himself to be a British subject should have his name put on the list by the clerk. "(b) Any one whose citizenship is not known to the city clerk, but who prime facie Is entitled to be entered on the voters' list, should be so entered. "(c) As to the point where the city clerk believes a man to be a non- British subject but lias no positive evidence to that effect, it is a matter to be remedied by the city clerk according to any instructions received by the council. The result would be ns follows: If the clerk refused to put the name on the list the person being entited to have his name so inserted has redress before the court of revision, or ir the clerk places a name on the list which is not entitled to be there any one may raise objections before a court of revision and tiie matter can be remedied. There is no possible legal rule governing this point. It would certainly not he an offence for the city clerk to put on the name of a person in the absence of any evidence who Is not entitled to vote nor would It be a legal offence for the city clerk to leave such a name off under the conscientious belief that the person wns not a British subject. "The proper remedy In such case Is before the court of revision. This is what is contemplated in section 14, subsection (c). Errors are bound to be made both ways. All the act purports to do in the mutter is to provide a remedy before the court, of revision, the final decision thereof to; be enforced. Yours truly, W, E. WILLIAMS. Aid. Hilditch wanted section 13 referred to In the communication rend. This was done, the section rending that the name of no one not a British ! subject should be placed on the voters' list. Aid. Hilditch said he felt that this hardly agreed with the advice of the city solicitor, Aid. Naden wanted to know how Aid. Hildltch would prevent a name going on. Aid. Hilditch said that when this was up a few weeks ago. Aid. Naden had given as an opinion that these names must nil go on. Had sieps been taken then to have required a declaration by tbe property owners similar toth e course taken with II- censebolders, all trouble would have been prevented. This indiscriminate pacing of names on the list was open to all kinds of trickery. Aid. Pattullo felt that if the discretion were eft with the city clerk it would be open to greater chances of trickery. In the absence of any evidence to the contrary these names should be placed on the list. The names could be challenged at the court of revision or on election day. Aid. Hilditch held that these men should all be forced to make affidavit before their names went on the list. Aid. Naden did not think that the municipal clauses act gave the power to require this test. Aid. Ilililiiiii said in Nanaimo the test was made. He did nol feel satis, lied witli iin- Idler ol' the city solicitor, ih- t'eii ii should be sent back. Tiie report wns adopted. —o ■ WHARF EXTENSION Local News Waterfront of City Will Soon be Well Provided With Landing Places. Great Cement Piles on Government Work Ready for Putting in Place The waterfront of Prince Rupert presents a picture gratifying to all who have faith in the commercial question of the place. Tbe Westholme Lumber company are about ready to put the first of the re-in- forced piles in the water. These vary in length from moderately short to over So feet in length, and include the longest concrete piles ever put in use in any port in the world. The completion of the 600 feet of wharfage for the Government will put upon the waterfront of this harbor a work of which al residents will feel justly proud. The Swanson Bay wharf now used by tiie Westholme Company, immediate adjoins the Government section, while Immediately adjoining this 200 feet the Westholme Company has put in another wharf which while it has not concrete piles in front of it lins a very substantial sea wall bujlt along the waterfront and is a wharf of most enduring character. The G.T.P. is also extending its facilities for haridling trade. The new wharf built of treated piles will have the nearest warehouse moved onto it. This will afford the company an opportunity to replace the piles in the part of the wharf extending over to the main warehouse. The intention of the company is to put the whole of its wharfage in first class shape now. PILOT FOR PORT (Continued from Page One) ceedlng without a pilot came to grief nnd the port through no fault of its waters or the passages leading to it got a bad reputation. The passages! from the ocean with tbe currents j tbat existed here required a pilot versed in all the conditions If ship-j ping entering the harbor was to be1 sa Te. Arter some discussion hy the hoard it >was decided that the wisest course] was to recommend the appointment or a pilotage authority for this port) and a resolution asking the Dominion Government to do so was passed. The intention of the board, based on the report made by Capt. McCoskrie seemed to aim at a small number of pilots at the start until the shipping Increased In the way of trans-Pacific vessels. Coasting steamers which carried their own pilots could be charged a nominal amount to be decided by the pilotage authority which would be appointed. WANTED Good seamstress wanted. Apply E. A.

The children, under the supervision of Mr. Hunter, Miss Rae, Miss Frond and Mrs. Humble, have been practising very hard for some time past, and everything is in fine shape Tor Friday evening. The Boy Scouts, who have been training for sometime under Mr. Brown and Dr. Reddie, are also to assist in entertaining. The fftogramme will commence at S o'clock sharp. Tickets may be procured from any of the school children. —o— A meeting which aroused a good deal of interest among the members of the Brotherhood of the Baptist church was held last evening. After the general business a somewhat novel and interesting means of entertainment in the manner of an impromptu debate was resorted to. The audience was divided into two factions, one being the affirmative and the other the negative, and then the subject, "Resolved that w^e learn more by observation than by reading" was given out. Everybody had| to make a speech relative to the subject, and a number of very good arguments were put forth by both sides. Some of the debaters made their first appearance ns public speakers and were somewhat nervous, but as a whole the debate was very Interesting and a few of the speakers were able to gain laurels for themselves In the way of speaking In public. Both sides were very evenly matched, but the decision was given In favor of the affirmative with a very small margin. BY-LAW NO. NOTICE TO ELECTORS ON ELECTRIC LIGHT DEBENTURE BYLAW.
