UNITED EMPIRE FLEET FOR GENERAL DEFENCE I'll THE PEACE RIVER COUNTRY IS GOOD TRAVELLER WHO HAS MADE A TRIP THROUGH THAT PART OP PROVINCE PRAISES THE OUTLOOK. Gold Is Quite Plentiful in That Northern District—Weather Conditions Were Not Had. Rt. Hon. R. L. Borden At Grand Gathering Given In Toronto Shows What His Policy Aims At Doing for Canada and the Whole Empire-Imperial Squadron With Headquarters At Gibraltar Is In View-Cruisers and Torpedo Boats To Be Built In Canada Under His Scheme of Action—Adequate Bases Will Be Maintained on the Atlantic and the Pacific Coasts Captain James Scott has returned to New Westminster from a trip through the Peace River country In the deijth of winter. He travelled over 600 miles by dog team and three times as far by rail and steamer. Captain Scott tells of much gold in the Peace River country. In the Babine country he and his party found good silver and galena prospects being worked, and many leases on old creeks have been taken up in that vicinity where f rospectors are getting some gold. A tragedy of the north country was revealed in the Btory told by Captain Scott of two men who were snowbound 50 miles from the nearest camp. They started out for food, and one of them was found to a starved condition at Old Hogom and was fed by a Bear Lake Indian. His companion was found frozen to dea.th about six miles away. Tbe captain said, however, that the climate was good in the Peace River country. They experienced some 40 below zero weather, but camped on bare ground on April 15. The fine bright weather in spring caused his four companions to become snowblind and he had to leave them. He left them at Hazelton, slowly recovering their eyesight. . o Ex-Aid. Douglas is going to take another holiday. He is leaving for Seattle on Friday, where he will be present at a concert that his son is tutting on there. This habit of taking holidays is becoming very marked with the ex-lord of the exchequer. CHINESE TAXES .

A most enjoyable way to spend the holiday on the sandy beach, tf PRINCE RUPERT IS NEAR WHEAT BELT The Proximity of This Port to the Immense Grain Producing Country of the Peace River Valley Will Make It Well Nigh Impossible to Cut Off the Shipping of Cereals By Way of This Harbor to Markets of World This city seems destined by natural conditions to he the centre of a great wheat ship! ing business. ,The opening up of the grain arens of the Canadian prahies is showing that the .richest areas lie west and north of Edmonton. What is generally known as the Peace River valley, which takes in an empire in itself, Is proving thut it Is to be the producer of the greatest amount of farm produce probably in the Dominion of Canada. That territory is to be tapped by the Grand Trunk Pacific and the product will find its way to Prince Rupert for transportation abroad easier in this direction than by any other route. In consequence this city will be the home of great mills, where the finished products of the wheat in the form of flour and later in biscuits and other types of prepared foods will be manufactured and shipped to the markets of the world. Tho Victoria Colonist, In referring to the ambitions of Edmonton with respect to holding the trade of the Peace River country, shows that Prince Rupert is well Bituated for the trade, and must of necessity get it. The Colonist says: "Edmonton Is confident that she will be the metropolis of the Peace River country, and yet there 1b a perfectly feasible route for a rail way that will bring the point where the eastern boundary of the province crosses the Peace as near the Pacific seaboard as it can be brought to Edmonton. If Fort St. John, which is near the centre of the area in the Peace River Valley transferred by the Province to the Dominion, be taken as a centre and the distance from that point to Edmonton be taken as a radius, a circle drawn within that radius will cross the Canadian Northern a few miles above Kamloops, the route of the Pacific Great Eastern a few miles above Lytton, the route of the proposed Mid-Provincial and Nechaco Railway at tide water on Dean Channel, and the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway between Hazelton and Prince Rupert. These are Important geographical factors, which even the great energy of the people of Edmonton can hardly overcome. The fine city on the Saskatchewan has a great future in store, but it cannot hope successfully to resist the Western movement of grain. When wheat can be delivered alongside a ship at substantially the same cost as it can be delivered at Edmonton, it is unlikely that It will be sent many hundreds of miles eastward overland to reach a ship, and several hundred more through inland waters before it reaches an ocean-going carrier." Toronto, May 20.—Rt. Hon. II. L. Borden, Premier of Canada, was given u most magnificent reception here lust night. Toronto lias accorded to public men in the past great receptions. The enthusiasm which marked the reception to Premier Borden was never equalled before. Mr. Borden spoke in splendid form and was given u most responsive hearing. It was plainly evident at every moment of the deliberate speech he delivered that he was but voicing sentiments that were heartily endorsed by the audience and lie was cheered to the echo. His speech was full of epigrammatical sentences that drew forth hearty applause. The following are some of the points scored by Mr. Borden in his speech: "But for the fact that Britain ruled the seas in the days of long ago there would be no Canada now." "We asked the Admiralty for a plain unvarnished statement. We received in reply information of a grave character." "The aid which Canada can give at the present time cannot be measured hi ships nor money." "Sir Wilfrid Laurier's naval policy is the separatist's policy." "The Senate is not, never was, and never will be above the Canadian people." "A United Empire fleet for general defence." "The disposition of the fleet to vary with the changing situation of the world policies." "Canada to have adequate naval bases at Halifax and on the Pacific." "Adequate shore defences on each toast." "Small cruisers and torpedo boats to be built in Canada." "The administrative headquarters of the Imperial squadron to be at Gibraltar." "The Dominions which contribute a gift of ships will arrange the general itinerary of the squadron." PROCLAMATION SUFFRAGETTES TO WAGE WAR ON GOLF ST. ANDREWS FAMOUS LINKS ARE BEING GUARDED DAY AND NIGHT AGAINST VITRIOL BRIGADE. Sentries Armed With Umbrellas to Protect Their Paces Prom the Acid That May Be Thrown. Edinburgh, May 20.—The town of St. Andrew's, with its famous golf links, fears a suffragette vitriol brigade, and the famous golf links are being guarded day and night. The militants have threatened to destroy the grass there with acid. The sentries have been supplied with umbrellas to keep the vitrol from their faces should such an attack come to pass. o • **** + ***** * * * * * • LIPTON TO RACE. « In view of May 24th "Empire Day" falling on a Saturday this year, the City Council has proclaimed Monday, May 26th a Civic Holiday, to be observed as such in addition to the Dominion Holiday of May I 24th. ERNEST A. WOODS, City Clerk. TO CHECK EMIGRATION. Lloyd George Sees in the Exodus to the Dominion and Elsewhere a Danger. "This serious stream of immigration," is how Hon. Lloyd George, the chancellor of the exchequer, describes the present state of affairs in Britain in regard to emigration to the Dominions and elsewhere. The chancellor views with alarm the steadily growing tendency on the part of Britishers to leave their native land and sees In it a severe blow at the backbone of Great Britain as represented by its Industries. That all these emigrants should be kept in the country and provided with work and adequate remuneration is the stand taken by Mr. Lloyd George, and if he can manage it. he will kill emigration to a large extent. Although not wishing to take from the Dominions, the chancellor Is ot the opinion that Britain must consider herself first, and if the steady stream of emigration keeps up Britain will find her population gradually being depleted to the detriment of her industries. In the House of Commons he said that he had a plan which he would divulge later whereby the stream will be diverted and the surplus population of the towns placed on the land. The chancellor made a stirring appeal to the Opposition to treat the land question as a national one, and keep it outside party politics. The seriousness of the situation in regard to migration which took away the best typos should, he said, sufficiently appeal to all politicians to make them unanimous on any effective scheme which would keep f )t" Britain her sturdiest and most enterprising sons. COST OP GERMAN ARMY. Each Man Costs His Family at Least $238 During His Two Years of Service. Remember that Harry C. Evans, the pioneer piano tuner, is In the city. Leave orders at Hayner's. tf At a time when Germany is about to make a big increase in her army, it is of Interest to note the economic effect of the present peace footing upon a typical peasant family. This aspect o Germany's military burden has been made the subject of investigation, and from reports on nearly 2000 peasants' families in Bavaria, It is seen that every soldier costs his family af least $238 during the two years of service In the army. As the pay of the men does not suffice for their needs, their parents have to send them money and gifts that average about $3C a year. Besides this, the peasant must hire a farm laborer as a substitute for his son, which means a furtner expense of $!*o. These figures appear all the more serious when It is remembered that over half of the families included In the investigation furnished the country at least four soldiers each, while the number went as high as eight or nine in some families. A striking feature of the situation Ib the virtual ruin of some small farms by the removal of the young men to do their term of service. Such cases are by no means rare. One peasant who supplied five soldiers wrote: "I should have been glad to send a few of them to school, but I am spending all my money on the army." Anotner, owner of three acres of land and himself a farm laborer for a part of his time, said: "My property, small enough already, was ruined by military duty." He had sent four sons into the army.

Dr. Large, of Port Simpson, acting under Instructions from the chief of Provincial Police here, intended to leave last night by tbe steamer Venture for Granby, where he will hold a coroner's inquest into the circumstances surrounding the deaths of the two who lost their lives by the bursting of the dam there. Dr. Large will, therefore, be on his way to the smelter town now. In the absence of J. H. McMullin from the city, Chief Owen communicated with Dr. Large to act. It is reported that the mining company will lose no time in restoring the loss that has been sustained there. Work is expected to start at once in replacing the works and no time will he lost in the carrying out of the general scheme of development at the mines and the smelter. o *************** * WON THE LOT. * * The drawing for Lot 50, * * Block 38, Section 8, under the * * auspices of the Prince Rupert * * Yacht and Rowing Club, took * * place last night at the West- * •holme Theatre.

The prospects are that by about July 1 the city will have the water system connected up with Sbawat- lans Lake and the pump that is to he Installed there In working order and giving the city a permanent| supply of water. There have been many vexatious delays In connection with this work, but tho end is now in Bight, it win be soma weeks yet before the pump that has been ordered will bo here and ready to put in I.laoe. There will not he much delay in this, however, it is expected, for the foundations for the pump aro in place. The freezing up of the pipes last winter with the consequent bursting that followed has also been the cause of delay. More pipe had to be ordered and put In place. There is still one carload on tbe way thai will be needed to complete the way to the lake. When the pipe line Is all In place It is the intention of the council to maintain the pump at Morse Creek as an emergency source of supply. With only one line across the channel tho city will require to hold a reserve supply until a second pipe line can be put In place. The Morse Creek supply has proved an excellent proposition for the city In spite of the opposition that was stirred against it at the time It was propos ed by a few of the council of that time. Pit* Has Opened I p. A now cigar and tobacco store has been opened In the city. It Is under the charge of Mr, l-'ilzinanrice, who Is well known In the city and is popular.

What is the correct policy in one decade with respect to the disposition of forces, either naval or land,-may be altered and become an improper rule to follow in the next decade. There Is constant change necessary in connection with the disposition of the naval forces. This is evident at every turn in the world's affairs, and the British Navy has to adapt itself to altered conditions from time to time. There was a time when the Navy was represented by squadrons in every sea. That policy lasted for a long time and was regarded in many quarters as the one that would be pursued for all time to come. But there came a change and without much warning the policy was reversed. The rise of naval powers in (Europe made it necessary that there should be a centering of the fleets in the waters close to the base of defence should trouble arise. For years after that policy of centralization in the British waters was acted upon the policy of patrolling the Seven Seas was maintained in a limited degree by the equipping of flying squadrons. This, however, was 3 fop peel eventually, and for years there has been a mobilization about the British Isles, the heart of the Empire. This has not meant that the Imperial authorities have been neglectful of the outlying parts of the Empire. It, does not mean that the defence of any part of the Empire was to be neglected. Had the occasion arisen there is no question that the means would have been afforded to give all the assistance that was needed. Alliances were made by the Nation that had for its effect the maintenance of peace and order in the uttermost parts of the earth, just as the maintaining of an effective fleet at Home meant peace in Europe. Such was the alliance with Japan. That alliance meant the guai^.ing of British interests on the Pacific coasts. There are not wanting evidences •that a change of policy is now in course of evolution with regard to the fleets of the Empire. Britain is apparently to maintain the upper hand in the matter of naval construction. There will be room for a mobile fleet within striking distan'-e of any of the seas that are to be kept open for the trade of the Empire. Gibraltar, it would appear 1b to be the base that will be used in this. But no one can say that the policy will remain always as it is at present. Decentralization appears to be coming. It can only come when the relative strength of the British Navy Is such as to warrant It. The policy that Premier Borden is pursuing has for its object the insuring of absolute mastery of the seas and with that the peace of the world. Whatever the necessary policy may be, whether one. of centralization in British waters or in the waters of any other part of the world, or one of decentralization, Canada will be prepared to take its share in the common defence of the principles for which the Empire stands. Sir Wilfrid Laurier may preach that "defence, like charity, begins at home," but the policy of Mr. Borden Is that defence must be for every part of the Empire. PROTECT THE IMMIGRANT. The steps taken by the Hon. T. W. Crothers, acting minister of the interior, for the better protection of the immigrant, cannot but meet with general approval. Hitherto unscrupulous employment agencies have waxed fat on the fees extracted from immigrants ignorant of the conditions of the country, and, in many eases, of the language. The regulations which ha*ve been adopted In council will enable the Immigration department to handle employment sharks with a firmer hand. Every employment agent must now display on his premises a license from tbe superintendent of immigration and keep a register of all immigrants placed, with particulars of wages promised, work to be performed, price for board, etc., and this register is to be open at all times to the inspection of immigration officials. The agent must not send immigrants to a position without having the written order of the prospective employer, giving full particulars. No order shall be filled if over two months old and all orders shall be open to inspection. No licensed employment agent shall charge more than one dollar, and the penalty on summary conviction for violation shall be a fine not exceeding $100, and in default imprisonment for not more than three months. These regulations were highly necessary to protect the fair name of the country. Nothing is more apt to dissatisfy and disgruntle the new arrival than to be roped in and bled by the waiting employment crook, who is wily enough to evade criminal prosecution for false pretences and against whom civil process is waste of money. o »»»»»jHHMHMHHr»4MHHHHMHHM> LUMBER Coal, Cement, Plaster and Brick AND A COMPLETE LINE OF BUILDERS' SUPPLIES WESTHOLME LUMBER CO., LTD.

Next Saturday evening in the magnificent new arena now being erected by diet Mclntyre at Brighouse station on the Lulu Island line of the B. C. Electric Railway Company, two native-born British Columbia boys will meet in a fifteen-round boxing contest for the lightweight championship of Canada. Joe Bayley, a sturdy son of Victoria, will appear in the role of defender of the title, while Ernie Barrieau, of Vancouver, who claims New Westminster as his home town, will enter the squared circle as challenger. Just one hour later, if the bout goes the scheduled distance, Referee Jimmy Hewitt of Vancouver will be called upon to name the winner. It is safe to assert that no boxing contest ever staged in the Dominion has ever attracted the attention centred on next week's ring battle, and large as is the capacious stadium just completed there is every indication that the entire seating accommodation of G500 will scarcely be sufficient to accommodate the And it will be a boxing contest well worth Ihe seeing.

CLEMENTS AND OTHERS SCHOOL ADVANTAGES WILL BE FOUND. The Provincial Department Will Take This Work in Hand and Dr. Kiiiiig Is Working — Out Scheme. Far removed from the educational facilities that are to be found In settled parts, the lightkeepers that attend the powerful lighthouses that are dotted along the rugged shores of British Columbia as a safeguard to navigation, have in the past experienced considerable difficulty in securing for their children the necessary education that the more favored youngsters of the province are privileged to receive in the up- to-date schools maintained by the Government. This state of affairs has now been brought to an end as the Provincial Government, upon strong recommendations from H. S. Clements, representing this district; Mr. G. H. Barnard, M. P.; F. H. Shepherd, M.P.; R. F. Green, M.P.; Captain George Robertson, agent of Marine and Fisheries at Victoria, and other influential sources, has decided to establish a system of "assistant schools" with a vie wto giving the children of the coast lightkeepers an education that will fit them to take their place In the world on an equal footing with those who are blessed with the best educational facilities obtainable. Assurances have been given by the Hon. Dr. Young, provincial minister of education, that the matter will be taken up without delay and that within the next month or two a number of lady teachers will be appointed to look after the educational needs of the youngsters who pass their lonely lives within the seclusion of our rock-bound islands. At the present time there are approximately 166 children under the age of sixteen, distributed among the forty-seven lighthouses that shed their rays of welcome light across the treacherous inland waters of the British Columbia coast, who are unacquainted with the interior of a school. They are bright and healthy youngsters endowed with an aptitude for learning although the facilities for securing knowledge in the past has been practically nil. The Provincial Government proposes" to establish a system on similar lines to the Trinity Light Service in force on the coasts of Great Britain, where lighthouses are arranged in school groups with a teacher assigned to each group so as to have a certain number of children under one tutor. Elementary courses will first be given for a period of several months, when the teacher will be dispatched to another group on another part of the coast. Later the teacher will return to give a more advanced coarse, and so on. _ o JOHNSON IS BROKE. The statement that Jack Johnson is broke and wants to fight Luther McCarty in San Francisco in order to earn enough to pay whatever fine the Federal Court in Chicago Imposes on him for violation of the white slave law, is contained In a message received by Jas. W. Coffroth from Ed. W. Smith, a Chicago sport writer. Coffroth is asked if he can handle the match. Coffroth replied that he is unable to do so at this time because all his dates are filled. Smith's message follows: "Jack Johnson has asked the United States Court to suspend sentence on him and grant a stay of sixty days with permission to leave the district in order that he may train for a fight with Luther Mccarty. This move is made necessary because Johnson says he Is-.broke and can't pay a heavy fine. McCarty says he will fight him any time and anywhere. Would you be Interested to the extent of offering inducements for such a match Please answer as soon as possible." Jack Johnson will not be permitted to fight again until he has either served his sentence or has been acquitted after a new trial. This statement was made by Assistant United States District Attorney Parkin after the receipt of news that Johnson was seeking a match there. . o "I wouldn't associate with him. I understand he's served a term in prison." "" "That's true, but it was for an offence involving a million dollars or more; nothing really disgraceful, you know." PUBLIC NOTICE.

SETTLERS RUSHING INTO THE NORTH AUSTRIAN GROUP OF FARMERS FROM NORTH DAKOTA PLAN TO (JO TO PEACE RI\ El! COUNTRY. They Will, If Satisfied, lliing in a Largo Amount of Capital to Settle Along the Grand Trunk Pacific. New British Columbia Is being sought by settlers who desire to acquire farm lands. The route of the Grand Trunk Pacific, with its rich agricultural lands will be quickly studded with farms, producing all kiin-tiTof grains, fruits and live stock to help supply the needs of the cities and mining sections along the route. As the forerunner of forty Austrian families, owning and representing wealth to the extent of $1,- 000,000 or more, Mr. George Platzer, himself one of the wealthiest of the group, left Vancouver for Fort George, says the Vancouver Province, just to hand. His object is to locate sufficient land to supply the forty families which are at present successfully operating farms in North Dakota in the vicinity of Maudau. In conversation with his banker here, continues the Province, Mr, Platzer stated that if the colony decided to come to British Columbia the poorest man among them would have $5000 in cash in addition to his stock and furniture. Others would bave as much as $25,000 cash, and the live stock they own is ranked with the best in the American West. Mr. Platzer's object is to locate In the Peace River district 50,000 acres of good agricultural land. The most of this he expects to purchase from the Provincial Government as he is sure that the Government will do everything in its power to assist such a colony of wealthy and efficient farmers. Tbe story of the colony at Man- dan is short, but interesting. The Austrians came there about twelve years ago, when land was cheap in the Dakotas. They all acquired farms, built a school erected a church, raised their families, and finally overgrew their boundaries. During the past winter a party of Russians came to the Austrians and offered to buy their land. In order to give more scope to their growing families, the Austrians consented to sell and a deal was put through by which the Russians will next autumn become possessors of ail the land and holdings of the Austrians. In making the sale the Austrians reserved their stock, as they had been making a specialty of purebred cattle. This industry they determined to carry with them to whatever part of the country they might settle. Mr. Platzer, one of the head men o. Lie colony, know a friend who had come to British Columbia and li^d become fascinated with the possibilities presented by the Peace River country. In looking for a new- location for the colony he thought there could ho no better place than in the northern interior of British Columbia, but before making any definite move towards bringing the colony out, he first "decided to investigate. He left for the North yesterday. On his report depends the MOTION PICTURES UNDER A CENSURE c. GORDON NOW PASSES UPON EVERY FILM THAT IS SHOWN IN THE PROA INCE. Provisions in the New Act Require That Every Precaution He Taken for the Safety of Public. Rvery film exchange mast now submit its films to the Provincial Government picture censor Mr. C. L, Gordon, and receive his gliutin of approval. If they do not bear this stamp these films may be seized by the Government and confiscated, The films must not hear the certificate of any other moving picture censor. The act is framed with scrupulous regard to the safety of the public. It provides that the operating room 111 a moving picture theatre shall be covered on the outside with asbestos. The frame is to be of iron with expanded metal laths for plaster. There must be two floors, one of wood and the other of asbestos. Certain openings are provided for light beams and for the operator seeing the screen and no more are permitted. Portable cabinet? are barred from regular theatres, but for travelling and temporary shows permission for a portable cabinet may be obtained for six days, if It conforms with certain regulations. The shutter in front of the condenser-lens hood and in front of the film aperture must be so constructed as to shut automatically when the rate of speed running the film drops below the ordinary exhibiting speed. Stringent electric wiring regulations are contained in the act. All lights must be contained within wire guards. Insulating material is necessary on every point where there is danger of leakage of electric current. In case anything should occur, however, at least two chemical fire extinguishers must be provided and a pail of sand and a hand shovel. This last is for extinguishing fire in burning insulation on electric wires where water would be disastrous. Operators must not be under 18 years of age, says the act. No intoxicated person can operate a machine. No smoking is to be allowed in the operating room and no reading matter may be taken within. Only those films required for one performance may be stored in the room and they must be provided with proper boxes. The exits of the theatre itself must be marked with red signs and there must be no other red signs visible. For each 350 square feet of floor space there must be two candle power of white light. The doors of the theatre must open outwardly and aisles must be unobstructed. The Government has embodied a clause regulating the "talkies" that are already operating in cities in the east. Before any talking apparatus can be operated in conjunction with a moving picture machine the approval of the censor must first be obtained. ¥»¥¥¥»»¥¥¥¥¥¥»¥¥*¥¥»¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥»¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥**»»»» SHIPPING NEWS OF THE BUSY NORTHERN PORT kickir\kA AAA4 A A A A A A A A^AAAA AAA AAA ik^clcifitick^A'ikir'kirkic SAILINGS OF STEAMERS WEDNESDAY, MAY 21.

CALL ON OR WRITE TO Harrison, Gamble & Co. third Avenue - - - opposite postoffice CHANGES IN SERVICE. The Dominion Government steamer Estevan has been placed in regular commission. Prominent among the officers under Captain Barnes will be Chief Officer W. Hallgren, who has seen much service with the Newington under the commander who is to take over the new vessel. The second officer will be A. K. Saul, who came out with the Estevan from Collingwood via. the Great Lakes and the Straits of Magellan. In charge of the engine-room will be Chief Engineer Bell, who for some time has acted in that capacity aboard the Grand Trunk Pacific steamer Prince George. Under Chief Engineer Bell will be Second Engineer Sutherland, who also came out with the Estevan; Third Engineer Morrison, from the Newington, and Fourth Engineer Burton, transferred from the steamer Quadra. Wireless Operator Lucas will be transferred from tbe Quadra to the new vessel. One of the best-known skippers on the Pacific Coast in the person of Captain C. LeBlanc will take over the command of the Quadra. This appointment became necessary when it was announced that Captain John Macpherson had been appointed to the position of wreck commissioner for the Pacific Coast. Captain LeBlanc, during bis sojourn on the Coast, has been in command of many vessels, and Is, perhaps, most well known as the master of the ill-fated steamer St. Denis, which was subsequently sold to Mexican Interests, and on her voyage out from Cape Flattery foundered in a gale with all hands. Had them aster of the St. Denis taken the advice of Captain LeBlanc as to the proper loading of his vessel with coal, the chances are that the litle steamer would have survived the storm. Captain Harry Billton, who for several years had been in the Government service as the master of the steamer Cascade, will take over the Newington after the bridge has been vacated by Captain Barnes. Second Engineer Mason will fill the engineer's vacancy on the fisheries cruiser. SKAGWAY SERVICE. At the first of next month the five-day service of the C.P.R. between Victoria and Skagway will be inaugurated and the two steamers, the Princess May, Captain McLeod, and the Princess Sophia, Captain Campbell, will operate on that run until late in the fall. The steamship company has made great preparations for a bumper tourist season and expects to handle the largest crowd of sight-seers that has ever gone north to see the mysteries of the Northland. The Princess May has been given her overhaul and the Princess Sophia is now at the yards of the B.C. Marine Railway having repairs made to the injuries she received through stranding on Sentinel Island, Lynn Canal. The building in of a new forefoot, it is expected, will take about ten days longer and the Princess Sophia will then be ready for her summer travel. The keel plate has to be renewed for about 45 feet aft of the stem and many new plates and frames are required before the Sophia will be sound and tight once again. Despite the fact that the mall contract calls for a five-day service to Skagway after June 1, the C P.R. requires two steamers in the summer to take care of its vast amount of trade. THE NEW VESSEL. The Estevan is constructed of steel throughout, is built equal to class 100 al at Lloyds, and is fitted with water ballast and double bottom extending from stem to stern. The dimensions of the vessel are: Length over all, 212 feet; between perpendiculars, 200 feet; breadth molded, 17.6 feet; load draft, mean, 11.6 feet, deadweight, 375 tons, and is capable of developing a speed of 12 knots. The steamer has a straight stem and eliptical stern and seven watertight bulkheads. The propelling machinery consists of two sets of inverted vertical,' direct-acting, triple-expansion, surface-condensing engines, with cylinders 14.23 and 36 inch and 27-inch stroke. These are supplied with steam by two boilers 13 feet by 11 feet, fitted with Howden's forced draft, and carrying a working r res- sure of 180 pounds to the square inch. Throughout the steamer is lighted with electricity, and is equipped with steam steering gear, steam pumps, winches; in fact, everything found about a vessel of modern construction. The officers' quarters are well arranged and finished in oak and mahogany. IN THE SUPREME COURT OF BRITISH COLUMBIA.
