Empire to Be Paid in Full—Williams mid Manson's Bill Stands Over The finance committee of the council last evening reported In favor of settling with W. J. Taylor, K. C, of Victoria, with respect to his services in preparing the city charter for the sum of $1,000; in favor also of settling the Empire account for $257 in full; and In favor of paying Williams and Manson the solicitors, to the end of January, but not for February. The committee also advised letting the matter of the government account stand over for the present. With respect to Mr. Taylor's account, Aid. Newton said that the committee went into this fully. Mayor Manson reported that lie had done the best he could in the matter and It was deemed advisable to pay it rather than run the risk of litigation. Aid. Pattullo did not think thai there was any danger of litigation. The recommendation carried-. With respect to the Empire ac- conni, Aid. Patullo said he felt that the amount was excessive. He did nol believe that the full amount should be paid. Private citizens had contributed to assist in paying expenses preliminary to incorporation. The Empire, that always represented itself as standing for the people, might well have done something along that line also, but instead was found "soaking the city." Aid. Kirkpatrick said that onlk ab.uit ?;•() was in dispute. All the rest, of iho items had passed. It being only $57 it was felt that the city was morally bound io pay them as they had been contracted for. Aid. Pattullo said that when the Items which the old committee had cut off were left out it was It-It that the Bmple was being well paid for all. Aid. Smith called attention to the fail that the private persons ordering the advertisements might be held responsible. Aid. Pattullo thought there would be no claim against: these. The item passed. With respect to Ihe claim of Williams ami Malison, for $406, from anuaiy 20 to the end of February, Aid. Ililtlilt-li thought that the municipal clauses act gave power to dismiss a civic employee without notice. He did not think the solicitor's had a claim for even the latter part of January from the 20th to the end. The matter was referred back to tha finance committee in order to allow that body to consult a solicitor. FINANCES OF THE PROVINCE ARE IN AN EXCEEDINGLY HEALTHY CONDITION Budget Speech of Hon. Price Ellison Shows That Entire Debt Could be Wided Out—Commission Nay be Appointed to Go Into the Whole Question of the Incidence of Taxation With a View to General Adjustments and Lowering of the Scale—Industries of the Province Produced Last Year Over One Hundred Million Dollars Worth. (Special to The Journal) VICTORIA, Feb. 14.—The budget was presented by Hon. Price Ellison, Minister of Finance, In the Legislature yesterday. The minister announced that the liquid assets of the province would be sufficient within the year to wipe out the entire funded debt of the province, which at the close of the last fiscal year stood at $8,616,800, which was decreased by $238,867 from the last previous yaer. At the same time as provision was being made by means of sinking fund for the redemption of the debt in due course, the minister does not consider it, good policy to buy back tbe outstanding debentures. The surplus for the fiscal year ending March, 11)10, the minister placed at. $2,r>00,000. The surplus for the current twelve months cannot be estimated, but the minster ex pects it will be quite as large as last year's. The government has upon deposit In various chartered banks and bearing interest, no less than $7,500,000. Hon. Mr. Ellison places the value of productions of the representative industries of the Province during the past year at $100,742,000, tlivitl- ed rQughly as follows: Manufacturers ... .$36,000,000 .Mining 26(183,605 Timber I7,16o;ooo Agriculture . . . . $14,899,000 x isherles 8,000,000 Special announcements contained in the budget speech included mention of the fact that It is the intention of the minister to recommend the appointment of a commission to go thoroughly into the entire question of the Incidence of taxation in British Columbia, with a view to a general readjustment and lowering of the scale. THE COAL QUESTION CORRECTING MISTAKES Aid. Pattullo Makes His Weekly Statement Relative1 to Empire At this week's council meeting Aid. Pattullo, as usual, had a question to bring up as a matter of privilege relative to statements published by the Empire. He objected to the statement that 133 men were employed by the engineering department just before election. That statement was false. He had looked the record up and found that on January 1 there were none employed. He gave figures for the following days, which showed 9, 10, 16, 21, 39 and on January 12, election day, 42 employed. On January 13, there were 44. Aid. Newton explained that the statement of the city engineer that 133 were employed would have justified him in coming to the conclusion he did. Aid. Hllditch said if he wanted to be too sensitive, he might show that these objectionable statements were not confined to the Empire. The Optimist had referred to himself, Aid. Hllditch, coming near to malfeasance of office. He did not care himself what was said, but It might create a bad impression outside. A drunk In the police court this morning was fined $6 and costs and for breaking a window was assessed an additional fine of $10. Aid. Clayton Moves in Direction of Awakening Interest In it. lie Proposes to Have Question of Acquiring Claims Looked info Aid. Clayton Introduced a resolution at last evening's council in favor of the city securing by purchase, or by-staking, two or more coal claims as a means of reducing the cost of coal in the city. In support of his motion he said he felt it was necessary to secure a coal area. As to the working of it this might be left over tor the meantime. The question of working it was something that he thought could be left over until more fully looked Into. His main object was to do something which might lead to an investigation inlo the coal situation here Aid. Newton felt that $11 a ton for coal here was very high. He thought the council niig.it well look into this and see if any relief could lie got. He did not wish to reflect upon the local coal merchants at all. Aid. Pattullo did not think the city had the power to go into this. It might affect the credit of the city to propose to go into a speculative enterprise. He would be agreeable to have a committee go into teh question. Aid. Hilditch agreed with the motion. It did nol go far enough, however. He was led to believe that articles other than coal were too high. He did not believe the advances were going into the pockets of the local merchants. He thought the whole question should be gone Into. Aid. Morrissey thought it would cost little to stake these coal claims. These would become very valuable. Aid. Claj'ton's resolution was finally altered to allow of an investigation into the question, and car- ried. TIII-.Ali; LICENSES Local Playhouses Ask for a Reduction in the Fees Paid The local theatres have asked the council for a reduction in the license fees paid. It was pointed out that these places were the only amusement houses in the city and the fee teemed too high. Aid. Hilditch said that it seemed to him that the licensesh were too high. Aid. Newton wanted the clerk to communicate with Vancouver in order to get the licenses on the theatres in line with this. A fee of J200 seemed too high. The motion carried. REFUSE DAMAGES City Council Will Not Make Award in Claim for Injuries by Falling off Sidewalk ■ YOUNG LIBERAL CLUB Organization Formed Among the Younger Element of the Party in the City The Young Liberals of Prince Rupert have formed an association and elected the first officers. The meeting for the purpose was held In the Knights of Pythias hall on Friday evening when speeches were made by G. R. Naden, J. S. Cowper, Dr. Kergin, Aid. Pattullo, M. P. Mc- Caffery, H. B. Campbell, A. W. Mi- Lean, W. H. Montgomery and E. H. Mortimer. The officers elected were: Hon. President—Dr. Kergin. Hon. Vice-President—F. Stork. President—Dr. W. S. Hall. Vice-President—F. D.| Keeley. Second Vice-President—T. H. Ar- neil. Secretary and Treasurer—E. H. Kearns. The following members were then elected to the executive — Messrs. H. B. Campbell, J. S. Cowper, C. L. Munroe, M. P. McCaffery, F. A. Ellis, W. H. Montgomery, E. H. Mortimer and Tony Christian. On the report of C. V. Bennett, acting city solicitor, the claim of Mr. Donaldson for damages as a result of falling off the sidewalk is to be refused. Mr. Bennett advised that in his opinion the man had no good claim. The case of Mr. Olson, who fell into the sewer ditch in front of .1. A. Klrkpatrick's store, was referred to the streets committee last night. L. W. Patmore, representing Mr. Olson, put in a claim for $700. Aid. Hilditch pointed out that the Provincial Government carried out the sewer work. He also said that he felt that with the work now in progress in the city on its streets pedestrians should be careful. They could not expect that the city could provide safeguards to ensure no accidents if people were not especially cautious. He had been In danger several times but it was due to his own carelessness. "To carelessness alone?" asked Aid. Pattullo, and the whole council became reminiscent and laughed.

Test Vote Shows That It Is Favor- ably Looked I'pon by the Members (Special to The Journal) WASHINGTON, Feb. 14.—A test vote In the House of Representatives shows a majority in favor of the reciprocity agreement. The vote was taken on Representative McCall's motion to go into committee on the bill, which tarried by 196 to 121. Col. Davis, the city engineer, has been granted permission to go south to Vancouver and Victoria in order to inspect certain works which have been carried out there and which it is felt will be of advantage to the city of Prince Rupert to have him examine into. The suggestion was made by Mayor Manson early In the year that the engineer should make this trip, particularly to study the question of conducting water pipes across the waterways such as was experienced in Vancouver. Col. Davis finds the present the most convenient time to go. C. M. Melntyre Has Gone to Queen Charlottes to Open Ihe New Station C. M. Melntyre, of the Dominion Wireless service, was ni the city this week after a trip south. He left on Monday by the steamer Amur for the Queen Charlotte Islands where he will take steps to have the new station at Lone Tree Hill, near Skidegate. Tlie station will be known as the Skidegate station and will be in working order at once. Mr. Melntyre will remain for a little time until he finds the plant is all in good order and then it will be left to the permanent operator who will arrive from the south. Speaking of the wireless service, Mr. Melntyre says that the stations are open to do commercial business at the same rate as the Dominion wire. With the opening up of the Skidegate station a very complete chain has been established to serve the ends of the shipping trade.

Tlie contractors have not quite completed their work hut II is being hurried up and witli the heating apparatus in place, tlie walls ne becoming well dried out. The matron, Miss McTavish, Is on duty soiling the interior arrangements all in readiness. The public wards will be fitted tin at once followed quickiy by the furnishing of the private rooms. Tlie .Masonic Lodge has made choice of its ward and ihe Daughters of the Empire have likewise selected a room to be fitted up by them. Both societies will lose no time now in furnishing the apartments so that they may be available in case of need. The medical men of the city are anxious to see the hospital opened and it is reported to those in authority that there are many cases awaiting the opening lo go in. The hospital is but the beginning of what will be in time an institution wliere the very uest of medical attention can be given. Prince Rupert has among its medical men specialists and general practitioners that do not take a second place to any on the coast. Witli the facilities afforded in the hospital for treating complicated cases, the General Hospital sought to become a blessing to the whole of northern British Columbia and Alaska, wliere any kind of special surgical work can be undertaken. As far as the hospital goes it is acknowledged to be a most comfortable one. It will serve only a short time, it is felt, when additions will have to be made to it. HACK TO HUDSON'S BAY Compiling List of New Peers to Ensure Legislation in Case of Trouble (Special to The Journal) LONDON, Feb. 14.—Premier Asquith has announced in the Commons that he will introduce the government's veto bill next Monday. As an evidence of the government's intention to force the maes- ure through, J. W. McCulland, the Scottish Liberal whip, staled In a speech in Edinburg that he was busy compiling a list of Ilie men who would accept Peerage with the view of passing the velo bill in the upper chamber in the event of the Conservative peers proving recalcitrant. FEAR TROUBLE IN CHINA • Interest wil lbe taken In the announcement that Captain Bucey, one of the most capable and popular river captains in the Northwest, who has disposed of his interest in the Inlander, which be commanded lasl season, will next season return to the service of the Hudson's Bay Company, as captain of the Port Simpson, says tlie Omineca Herald. Captain Gardner, who earned the good will and confidence of passengers and shippers alike as com- . mantler of the Hazelton, will agin have charge of that reliable craft. and may be expected to maintain Ills reputation as a thoroughly competent skipper. No announcement has as yel been made as to the successor of Captain Bucey on the Inlander. The subject of the city hall site and the need for early action came before the city council last evening. Aid. Hilditch introduced it, referring to the need of some action being taken to decide the matter. If the .Market Place site was to be decided upon it would be avisable to have Mayor Manson take action while in the capital. Aid. Newton said that under no consideration would he be agreeable lo passing upon a site until the question was submitted to tlie people lo vote upon. Aid. Hilditch said he agreed with Aid .Newton. If Aid. Newton would suggest a single site he would be agreeable to having it submitted to the people, li was not for the council to sit back and do nothing. Ho was not wedded to any site. He wanted something done towards getting a city hall, however, as it was absolutely necessary. Aid. Newton said he understood that, the Fulton stret site could not he obtained until a settlement of the G. T. P. taxation question was made. Aid. Morrissey said he found the business section of the community was in favor of the Fulton street site. Aid. Hilditch said lie would move in the matter if something were not. done by the oilier aldermen. Aid. Newton agreed lo give notice of motion lo tall fur sites to be sub- mitted to the people.

Before Gotch's time, speed and avoiding punishment were considered secondary matters. About the time Gotch was coming into the wrestling title the American mat artists were refusing to meet the extremely heavy men being imported, notably the Turks, who began to flood the country after Yous- suff cleaned up. Wrestling was conducted pretty much along lines of strength ami weigh! al that time, and speed was not regarded as much or ;i necessity. Punishment was understood lo some exit-ill, hut it was not scientifically applied, and when there was much of it it was generally because there was a lot, of foul work. Wearing a man down consisted mainly in getting him on the mat and laying around on him so as to tire him out by sheer weight. Gotch changed this almost completely. He was about the same as other wrestlers up to about the time he had to meet Hackenschmidt, and the indications are that, he changed his plans mainly for this bout, as lie feared the Russian's great size and strength. As a result Gotch spent most of his time while training, working out a system whereby he keep from being put on the mat, and at the same time worry and wear down his opponent. How successful he was, was shown when he had his opponent beaten before ever the two went to the mat. Throwing him when finally Gotch concluded it was time to risk grappling with tlie Russian was a mere matter of form, as Hackenschmidt was too weak then to defend himself. Ever since, Gotch has resorted to the same tactics when he is against an opponent who is heavier and stronger than he is. AVIATION CENTRE JEFF RETIRES James J. Jeffries, former heavyweight champion of the world, dragged from retirement as the "white hope," and beaten by Jack Johnson, at Reno, has been asked by thousands of persons whether he will light again. Weary of tlie question, Jeffries has decided to make the following single answer through the United Press. He says 11 is tlie last. "I intend what is written here shall be an ultimatum, the tenor of which cannot be misinterpreted. It is my hope that the public at large will consider this my final word on a subject, that has caused me enormous personal inconvenience. I refer to the question of whether I shall ever enter the ring again. I shall not attempt to say how- many times I have answered that query during Ihe last six months. Hardly a day has gone by without the question being put to me. Day after day 1 have answered it seriously and squarely. I have stated that I never shall enter another ring. But friends and the public have refused to accept my word. At least, I must believe they have, in view of the fact that after answering the question, 1 have in Ihe next hour, been asked exactly the same question. It has come to the point where I and the members of my household respond to the door bell ring with the reply to the question on our lips. If some one were to test patience by asking you a certain question say, for instance "how old are you?" day in and day out, how long do you think you could go to the door or the telephone, head the question asked anil answer ii without losing your temper? For half a year, do you think? II would 1) edil'I'lt-iili to explain what it is lo go through such an ex- perlence, In my ease, instead of one person putting ihe question each day, the query has come from Innumerable sources. What I want to say is that while the question of whether 1 ever would tight another ring battle has been asked of hundreds of persons upon hundreds of different occasions, I alone have been compelled to listen to each Inquirer .separately, hear the same metaphorous words, asked the same question that 1 have answered countless times. This is the last answer 1 will over make to that question: Under no circumstances shall I ever again participate in a public prize ring contest. I have retired from the ring for all time. This is the decision I made months ago. It is a decision I shall adhere to. JAMES J. JEFFRIES. England this year is to be the world's aviation centre. From Germany, France, Russia, Italy, Belgium, Holland and America the most noted fliers are expected in England early in the summer, to take part in the two great competitions, respectively for the Gordon Bennett cup and the 1,000 mile race known as the "Circuit of Britain." Never, it my be said at once and without exaggeration, has it been possible for any one country to muster such a concourse of flying men as will be seen in London a few months hence. The reason is not far to seek. The Gordon Bennett cup, now held by a British flier, Mr. Gra- haine White, is the most envied trophy In aviation, while tlie prize money which is offered by the "Daily Mail" for the great cross-country flight will be worth at least $50,- 000. It has been computed that a sum of not less than $1,000,000 was awarded last year to the successful competitors in tlie long series of flying tournaments that opened in January at Los Angeles and terminated last week with the Mlchelin Cup race. The -coming aviation season promises to yield as rich a harvest to the exponents of the new science. Prizes amounting-to $70,000 are offered by the Journal of Paris for a flying race from the French capital to Berlin, Brussels, London and back to Paris, the distance to be covered being roughly, 1,500 miles. The date provisionally set for the contest to open is June 4. Other competitions for the year comprise: The Hearst prize, $60,000, for a flight across the Atlantic , 5. flight across America from the At- iahtlc to the Pacific, or In the reverse direction. The flight must be accomplished before the tenth of October next, and within thirty consecutive days by any route which includes Chicago. Any number of stops are allowed. The Southern France Circuit for $40,000, taking in France, Bordeaux, Toulouse, Marseilles, Lyons and Dijon. The Rome to Turin cross-country flight ,to be held from June 12 to June IS. ihe Berlin to Hanover circuit and tlie Frieburg to Wiesbaden circuit, via Strasburg, Carlsruhe, Manne- heim and Frankfort. Both these competitions are open to German aviators exclusively. Prizes are also offered for flights from Liverpool to Manchester and from London to Newcastle and finally there will be the autumn military selection trials of new aeroplanes in France, for which the French government recently voted a credit of $200,000. This last competition is open to the builders and designers of all nations, the only restriction being that the flying machines entered for the trials must be constructed in France. CORONATION FIGHT Hugh Mcintosh, the Australian who makes all other fight promoters turn green with envy and all fight chilis forget their traditions and re- ise rules and regulations, hopes to bring off the fight for the championship of tlie world in London, England, during the week of the King's coronation. Hugh, everybody talks familiarly about the genial Cornstalk after once meeting him, favors the sporting editor with a budget of Information about his plans and the way in which he induces the London fight fans to visit Olyinpia. "My lease of the Olympia annex expires on February 24," he writes, "and I am endeavoring to secure another big building. Failing in this I shall return to Australia bringing with me some of the best English boxers and shall again hold contests at the Sydney stadium. 1 shall return to England In lime for the coronation week when 1 hope to bring off the world's championship heavyweight contest. "On February 1, we have Porky I'iynn of America matched with Jack Burns of California. Flynn will be seconded by Sam Langford," Is it any wonder that Hugh Mcintosh commands the confidence of the public? The rush for seals for the Wells-Moir contest was so great that he could have sold all the lower priced seats for two or three times the advertised prices and did not do it. "We stuck to our guns and sold our half-crown and five-shilling seats and refused half guineas by the hundreds—1 might say by the thousands." This fight the big promoter describes as being very spectacular dramatic.

It Imitates the appearance of a legal document and is drawn up in legal language, to wit: "Know all men by these presents: Whereas, Tommy Bums having lawfully declared his intention of retiring from all active participation in the ring, lie has by that act resigned, released and set aside all his right, interest and claim to the heavyweight championship of the British Empire; and, whereas, Mr. Hugh D.

This document is under the hand and seal of our old friend, Jimmy Brilt. ■ o COMPULSORY VACCINATION BIG SEASON'S WORK Hazelton District Will See a Lot o Mining Done This Summer. Order Is Being Enforced in Order lo Sump Out Dread Disease In Fraser Valley In compliance with the Provincial Government's order, It is compulsory that all persons should be vac- 'inatcd al once unless they have been so treated within the past seven years. The order which has gone forth is as follows: "Every resident of this province shall forthwith be vaccinated or produce to the medical health officer of "the district or municipality wliere be or she resides a certificate or proof of successful vaccination within the preceding seven years, or i certificate that such person is at present insusceptible of vaccinal ion or a certificate of physical unfitness for vaccination. Such certificate shall be from a duly qualified practitioner." Dr. Underbill and Dr. Fagan, the provincial health officer, are being strongly supported in their endeavors to stamp out the smallpox epidemic now prevailing In a mild degree In the Fraser Valley. Low Estimate on Properties Already Being Worked Is Made by Local Paper Every one at all conversant with the mining situation is prepared to see a great rush to"the mines about Hazelton and other interior points in the spring. The Omineca Herald puts the sum likely to be spent at once at $175,000. This, it is reasonable to suppose Is a very low estimate for expenditures not now thought of, will be made this spring and summer, as development proceeds. Says the Herald: Miing development for the present year will be carried on on a much larger scale than ever before. Something of (he plans of the companies, syndicates and individuals operating in this camp is known and it Is already known waz cmf cm c ready apparent that he total amount of money to be spent within the next eleven months will be in excess of $175,000. Not alone have the holders of mining property and owners of options made declarations to,this effect, but the terms of the agreements in almost every case will compel a large amount of money to be spent during next summer and winter as the time Is short before heavy payments become due. From the opening of spring twenty men will be at work on the Brie; plans for the Silver Cup involve the expenditure of a larger amount of money than on any other properly in the camp. Following the formal ion of a stock company a vigorous campaign will he commenced on the Sunrise group, and the force al ihe Lead King will, according to F, A. Brown, the manager, he increased about Ihe first of April. Work on the iron Mask group on Four Mile will be started as soon in the spring as supplies can be obtained and on the Dyer-Stephenson group where a small force is now at work, there will be a big crew opening up the claims at different points as the remainder of iie purchase price is duo in October and is in excess of $85,000. On Glen .Mountain, where George Mtilean has a crew at work on the clalnis located by himself and partners, nad under bond for sums aggregating $86,000, the gang will bo increased early in the spring as it is understood to be the intention of the purchasers to commence shipping ore as soon as the railway line is able to handle It. On Rocher de Boule mountain the bondholders will be at work as soon as it is possible to reach the claims. Ther are assurances that a trail will be built up Juniper creek and the Kitseguecla river from the Skeena to these claims so that supplies can be easily laid down. The advisability of putting machinery plants on two properties is being considered but no definite decision has as yet been reached. A wagon road will have to be built before machinery can be taken to the Silver Cup, which will take a good part- of the summer. It is admitted that the country within a radius of ten miles of Hazelton is by no means prospected. The lower slopes of the mountains are covered with loose rock, earth and in many places with a thick carpet of moss. Further discoveries of good property are confidently looked for this year. The ready sale which good mining property in this vicinity has found In the past, and the good prices obtained, combined to hold a larger number of the prospectors here for the winter than ever before. The snow leaves the lower hills early in April and it will be a matter for surprise if new veins are not found and considerable money spent in developing them before the summer is over. In estimating the amount that will be spent at $175,000 no account has been taken of any possible new discoveries and without any such the end of the year is likely ,o see this figure exceeded than it is to be an overestimate. o KING WINNING FAVOR Aids Witli His Counsel—Court Dress Has Been Done Away With at Buckingham I King George, as he is settling to work, is making a strong impression on all who conic in contact with him. He takes the greatest care to become thoroughly informed on all matters submitted lo him and he is possessed of tbe ability to waste no time on details. The King never hurries his judgment, to which in ret-nt years King Edward often referred, "What docs George think?" was the frequent remark of Edward. King George is free from affectation. When lie does not understand an issue, he keeps on asking pertinent questions until he is satisfied. Once decided it is difficult to Induce him to change his mind, but he Is so careful that his judgment is accurate. He Is just and shows exceptional consideration to ail about him. Unlike his father, he likes to be left alone to read. He Is a great render of serious books ;.nd is not much addicted to fiction. He Is domestic and fond of early hours, consequently those in honorary attendance upon him find their work light, whereas his secretaries are kept extremely busy. The King intends to give a number of dinners to men only at Buck ingham Palace in February. This Is a form of hospitality he particularly enjoys. The dinners will be informal, as is compatible with his position, for he has a truly naval dislike to unnecessary ceremony. King Edward delighted in knee breeches for evening wear, but King George generally dispenses with these and allows his friends to arrive dressed as they would for an ordinary dinner. George is as particular as his father was as to what he eats, but he does not lay such stress on short meals. He smokes a good deal, but arinks practically nothing. On ceremonial occasions lie takes a glass of champagne and more rarely sips an after dinner glass of port though he always has it poured out, in order not to render uncomfortable any guest who might like to sample the famous royal wine. The King and Queen have gone personally through the whole list of court invitations and struck out but sixty names. Several were those of individuals whose faces were familiar at Buckingham Palace.

FOR Till: GOOD IlOl'SEWIFE The yolks of eggs will not turn dark when hard boiled If they are put In boiling water rather than cold at first. Half an hour is not too long to cook them to acceptable hardness. Keep bedrooms sweet by admitting plenty of fresh air. Avoid woolen curtains, and above all else, an old carpet. Nothing is more likely to give a close smell to a bedroom. When two glass tumblers or dishes stick together so that there Is danger of breaking In getting them apait, put cold water in the Inner one and hold the outer one in warm water, and they will separate at once. , Tuesday, February 14, 1911. PRINCE RUPERT JOURNAL ****** *******'}•> v***'!'*'>**** * •:• | Cheap Power ! * •:• * Nelson is Able to Offer Very L,w * % Rates for Industrial Purpura % * * ^- *** *i* *»-* *»♦ *$• ♦** **— *-»-• ** *********** ***\'\ At its second meeting of the year, the Nelson city council reached a decision to sewer a portion of the upper part of the city this year, and make provision to commence the work immediately, the estimated cost of this year's work being $5,- 200. On the recommendation of R. A. Brown, city electrician, approved by the fire, water and light committee, power rates were given a gentle boost, which, however leaves them far below other British Columbia cities. The fire, water and light committee's report regarding power rates follows: "That Mr. Brown's recommendations witli reference to power rates as contained in bis annual report be adopted, that is that power rates by metre measurement shall be as follows: First 100 kw. hours, 5 cents per kw. hour; next 200 kw. hours 4 cents per kw. hour; next 400 kw. hours, 3 cents per kw. hour; and all over 700 kw. hours, 2 cents per kw. hour; and that a minimum charge of $2 per month per horsepower be made for each horsepower connected, and that electricity for heating purposes lie charged at power rates." Replying to an inquiry by Aid. Stark ,Mr. Brown explained the sliding scale of both the light rates and the power rates. The city, he stated, bad actually been selling power for less than half what it took to generate it. Mayor Selous stated that when the first power rates were made, the council of that day obtained rates from all over the province, anil that Nelson rates as then made were far lower than those anywhere else. Under Ihe existing rales, in addition to there being no profit, tlie power revenue tlitl not pay the interest and meet the depreciation on Ihe transformers that had to be installed. At least 20 per cent of the transformers should be allowed lor. The recommendation was unanimously adopted. The new power rales will not go into effecl of course, until pin through in a bylaw.

O. H. NELoON, Editor. Tuesday, February 14, 1911. THE NEW EVANGEL The editor of Ihe Optimist has apparently cut out a great work for himself. He is to be a light in Ihe darkness. Speaking at the Young Liberal gathering, he told his audience thai Liberalism had done one great thing; it had put the vote Into the hand of every man. li had now lo go on and teach all men to use their votes intelligently. Now, this is most complimentary. In its essence it means that the vote is in the hands of men who do not know iiow to use it. That the affairs of the country are being administered on Ihe voice of unintelligent men who do not know their duties to the country and must await tlie enlightening process which is to come from the editor of the Optimist and those who think with him. 'For our part if we believed in such a doctrine we would advocate the disfranchising of those whom we believed were not qualified to cast an intelligent vote. Under our system of government, the franchise is looked upon as a privilege and not as a right. We are able to say that a Mongolian, although a naturalized British subject, shall not have a vote and the courts uphold the contention on the very ground that the right to vote is not an inherent right with citizenship. The doctrine which the editor of the Optimist is preaching is an insult to a great body of the electorate. Wnile there must of necessity be a certain number who will under any enfranchising act be open to criticism on the score of not being qualified lo vote as intelligently as could be wished for, these are but isolated instances. The most of voters can scarcely come under the charge of being unintelligent enough noi to know how to cast their ballots according to their way of thinking. We are inclined to think that the leader of the new evangel is in reality inclined to believe that only those who think as he thinks are intelligent. The way in which lie accepted the defeat of his particular candidates al. the last municipal election would lead one to such an impression. After that election instead of submitting to the expressed wish of tlie people the Optimist contended that he minority was right which it must be admitted is consistent with this new doctrine now put forth that the voters are too unintelligent to properly exercise the franchise. The whole question simmers down to a most narrow view being taken. It is only-those who think with the editor of the Optimist that are right. It is only they who are intelligent. All -others must be brought up lo that standard although .n the meantime being allowed to exercise their own sweet will in administering the affairs of tlie country. And t.iis is all preached in the name of Liberalism. smooth, when another group of witnesses came along and testified that they had purchased fraudulent passports in Hong Kong from a brother of the Kelly-Templeman appointed Interpreter, and that the interpreter was there at he dock at Arancouver to see them through on these certificates and welcome them to Canada. The commission is now getting pretty close to the point, and it commences to look as though the honest Liberals on the coast who have always regarded with horror the desecration of their party by a ring of grafters, will at last be able to shake them loose and get rid of the pernicious influence which has cost Liberalism the whole province of British Columbia. In tbe meantime, Bob Kelly is taking no chances with a commission that is liable to fly open at any time and expose the inner workings ni' lis machine, lie is automobiling in California. RECIPROCITY IN FISH George R. Naden is reported to have laid stress at the Young Liberal gathering a few evenings ago upon the advantages which would come to Prince Rupert as the fish centre of the coast from the reciprocity agreement as it affects that industry. Now, we fail to see exactly where the great benefits are to come In. Owing to its proximity to the hali but banks, Prince Rupert must become the great centre for the packing of that fish and the preparation of it for shipping in cold storage. At the present time the New England Fish Company is exempt from duties which have given it an advantage in carrying on its business. Under arrangement with tlie Dominion government, the New England Fish Company's steamers which are American bottoms are allowed to take fish in what are recognized as open waters including Hecate Straits, land them in Vancouver to be treated and then shipped in bond to the United States. The Canadian Government does not collect duty from these vessels for landing the fish in Vancouver, the expenditure of money in the Canadian city having been recognized as sufficient return without the duty being charged. The New England Company on the other hand, is not obliged to carry the fish the 100 or more miles to Seattle or any other United States port before curing. Now, how is a benefit to come from the reciprocity agreement in such a case'.' The Canadlun Fish and Cold ■ Storage Company which is erecting large works here will In the natural order of things secure similar privileges. This is to be expected surely when the local concern Is subsidized by the Dominion Government. If the local company desires to cater to the trade of the United States why should not American hot. toms be used under arrangement for that end of the trade just as tho New England Fish Company today employs also some Canadian bottoms so that in theory the fish from the Canadian bottoms go to the Canadian consumers and those from the American bottoms go to tho United States cities?' We fail to see where any very decided advantage is to come under the proposed agreement when the government, is allowing an arrangement to prevail which overcomes the necessity for a United States fishing company carrying its take to the other side to be treated. Till: CHINESE COMMISSION Royal commissions, as a general rule, are very convenient mechanisms for spreading a nice coal of knlsomlne. Down in Vancouver, however, they have a royal commission which got away, says ihe Capital published in Edmonton, l-'or years pasl a ring of grafters on ihe roast have been working the Chinese smuggling game, at huge profit io themselves and great injury lo thi- Liberal party. Finally tiring of such proceedings, certain m hers of Ihe I iieral party, as- sish-tl by ihe Trades anil Labor Council, decided to tear the rover off and show things up as they were. A commission was appointed, anil subsequent developments Indicated that there had been something started, The inquiry opened v. itli an explosion which involved Senator Tem- pleman, the self-appointed dictator of the pally, Bob Kelly, Ihe czar of the Vancouver wing, and many other Liberals for revenue only.

Brief outlines of the new insurance bill at Victoria, indicate that the government Is about to follow quite closely the recommendations of the commission that went into tlie subject. The hill is sure lo cause considerable uproar among the corporations affected. Such class of bills always does that, In the end when all its features are fully understood it is io In- expected thai these corporations will settle down and do business as in tlie past. A wrong Impression is sought to be conveyed locally with respect to the measure and the circumstances leading up to its Introduction. The demand for a modification in the law came not only from tlie users of insurance but from what are known as ihe old line companies, who objected to vast concerns like Lloyd's tlia^ wrote up all kinds of insurance without maintaining a representative and which wore, therefore, not subjected io the taxes levied upon the ordinary insurance companies.

The Big Furniture Store Corner of Second Avenue and 6th Street EDITORIAL (Continued from Page Four) the local writers of insurance need have no concern that the case was not well presented. The commission reached Its decisions months ago and the finding was made public. Its conclusions have been followed quite closely in the present bill and we feel sure no injustice is to be worked upon any one. As far as the companies being subjected to an exorbitant tax is concerned it will be found, we believe, judging from the short despatches so far received, that the companies will get off lighter than formerly. They will not. require to take out a license to do business in every municipality in the province, paying considerable fees in each case. As far as the "mail order" proposition is concerned, we feel satisfied the government has taken provisions to place companies doing that kind of business on a footing of equality with the others. Their customers will require to pay a two per cent rate to the government to compensate for the tax evaded by them through having no office in the province. There will probably be weaknesses in the bill to he righted as Is generally the case, but this bill the public can rest assured of had very careful consideration and Is drawn up in the interests of the public in an effort to avoid companies working any injustice upon the insured. parent ly inclined to go a little slowly with respect, to Stewart. There is no assurance just yet thai that place is to support a great population. To burden it with all the duties of self- government might lead to a lot of trouble especially in view of the fact that the mines are, not right at Stewart for the most part, but In many cases miles away. The miners will live at the different mine centres and the population of Stewart may be rather small. From the standpoint of the citizens themselves we believe they have much to gain by delaying incorporation until the future of the place is assured. According to the news,of well informed mining men more activity will be manifested in the interior along the Skeena and its tributareis this season than will be about Stewart. HE OUGHT.

Dr. Kergin, speaking at tlie Young Liberal gathering In this city, expressed himself as being struck by the paucity of legislation enacted in the .Provincial Parliament this session. Having In mind the years which Dr. Kergin put in as a member of the legislature and his record there, we must acknowledge that he ought to he qualified to know when little Is being done. Certainly the doctor never loaded the records of the House or the statutes of the Province. STEWART'S INCORPORATION Awaiting further details of tlie reasons that led to the refusal of the Provincial Government to. grant incorporation to Stewart we cannot be in a position to defend or attack the government on its attitude. The bare announcement lias been received and a delegation from Stewart has gone south to again urge action. In refusing to grant Incorporation the. Government is possibly well aware of facts that fully warrant the course taken. In British Columbia, mining camps have suddenly sprung up and as suddenly faded away. In some instances the Legislature has been put to considerable trouble devising ways and means of assisting in overcoming difficulties created by premature Incorporation of places.

The body was discovered by a trapper whose dog drew attention to a mound of snow under which the corpse lay. The coat was nearly torn off the body and it is supposed that Bull fell overboard from an Arrow Lake steamer, which a punched ticket proves that he boarded. PLANS OF GRANIIY GRAND FORKS'—Granby's new management is making plans to operate the property this year to the full capacity of Its smelting plant. It is expected that this will result in a production of over 25,000,000 pounds of copper at a cost of not over 10% and possibly under 10 cents a pound. This will give the company net earnings of $4.50 to $5 per share with copper selling at 13 cents per pound. The management has satisfied itself that if the smelter were operated continuously to only half its capacity, as it has been during the greater portion of last year, the 6,000,000 tons of developed ore In the property would be exhausted with little or no profit to the stockholders, due to the fact that the costs are so much higher when the output is curtailed. By operating the plant to full capacity the ore already developed can be made to yield a profit of between $3,000,000 and $4,000,000. ISLAND RAILWAY VICTORIA—Contractors M. Car- lin and Grant Smith & Company have commenced active work on the Vancouver Island section of the Canadian Northern Pacific Railway Company. A store and general depot, to form a base of supplies and a branch camp is now in course of construction at Peddar Bay. Sixty men under sub-contractor MacDon- ald, are in the field in the neighborhood of Esquimalt, From Peddar Bay, construction will be carried on in both directions, while other camps will be established along the route. The contractors are willing to sublet the contract tor the second twenty miles of the railroad but as there is three feet of snow on the route running from Sooke to Shawn- igan Lake, construction will be impossible there for some time. Sixteen sub-contractors have been over the second twenty miles and are ready to tender The sub-contractors will not only clear the right of way also complete the construction work. o ROYAL OBSERVATORY VICTORIA—A committee of the executive of the Natural History Society of Victoria will Investigate and bring to the attention' of the Dominion government the claims of Victoria to be nie site of a royal ob- servatry was also appointed.

Clayton introduced a resolution al last evening's council meeting to regulate the making of connections with, the city water pipes, so that shut off valves would he put in and the loss of water overcome to a large extent. The resolution carried. With respect to the advertising for sale of lot S, block 10, section 1, by David H. Hays, agent for the G. T. P. Development Company, the city council last night decided to communicate with the head office to see if the lot could not be secured to the ctiy as a way for the sewer pipe. Negotiations were on for the acquiring of the lot for that purpose and objection was taken by some of the aldermen to the proposed auction sale. The construction of the G. T. P. with the consequent facilities for reaching the great interior of this nortli country with greater ease, will lead to the opening up of the mining wealth far beyond what Is known as the Hazelton district. Already the effects are being seen of the construction work and the mines of the Omineca are to more fully be investigated. Last summer prospectors representing Seattle and local capita] were in the country in the vicinity of .Manson Creek where the hydraulic possibilities were investigated. Already the vanguard of this syndicate has started in, including about eleven men who will make their way to the Omineca to be ready for tho opening of spring. Those interested have no doubt of tlie richness of the field and a district as productive as any yet found on the continent is expected .o be developed. o The finance committee of the city council reported last evening that the auditor's statgfnent for last year did not contain enough details. No fault was found with the statement as such, but for the public information more details, it was felt, should be forthcoming in the report. In order to allow the aldermen to acquaint themselves with the report it was laid over until the next meeting. °; Even a close-mouthed man has to open up when he gets In a dentist's chair.
