NO. 157 URGE GOVERNMENT OPEN WATERFRONT Board Of Trade Last Evening Deals With Question Of Industries Reporting To Be Wanting To Begin Work At Once-J. Sidney Smith Raises Discussion Relative To The Matter-An- other Industry Wants To Locate Here At the meeting of the Board of Trade held last evening in the City Hall the question of having waterfront available for industries that might want to come into the city was discussed. This matter came up on the request of J. 'Sidney Smith, the active head of the Atlin Fisheries. Mr. Smith became a member of the board last night, and raised the question as to getting waterfront to carry on bis industry. Mr. Smith said that he had been here about three months trying to secure a waterfront lot for his business. He seemed to be no nearer now to attaining it than when he came. It was explained by the uraud Trunk Pacific that owing to some difficulty about the waterfront with the Dominion Government it was impossible to give the required site, He then referred to the sites that were held by the Provincial Government on' the waterfront, and these he thought might be opened up in some way.

An amendment in connection with the platform committee's report that P. C, Wade be omitted from one of the committees was warmly discussed. Capt. Worsnop, of Kamloops, supported the clause on the ground that the Liberal party was run too much by the so-called "old war horses" of the Coast, to the detriment of the new blood coming into tbe province. The difficulty was met by adding Capt. Worsnop and Mr. Hamilton to the resolutions committee. Another warm discussion followed the proposal of E. S. Woodward, of Victoria, that the platform of the party be boiled down. 5##tt#**imBSfttWH>fttK^^ had, while in Victoria, tried to get in touch with the Government on the matter. Mr. Ross, the minister tnat he understood had charge of this department, had not kept his appointments with him. He heard that it would have to come before the attorney-general anyway. He thought that the Board of Trade might do something in this matter. He was a stranger In the city and wanted assistance. He thought that there should be some way of getting the land opened up on a lease for, say twenty years, at a reasonable valuation. He would be agreeable to attaching a restriction to the lease that there should be a certain amount of work done in, say twelve months. He did not want to see the laud thrown open to speculation. They might take the speculative aspect away. He did uot think, however, that he should have to pay more than was paid in Seattle or Victoria for waterfront in Prince Rupert. Mr. Smith said that he represented in this matter another party which was prepared to spend many more times the money that he was in permanent improvements. That party would be ready to spend four times what he did. This would mean a very considerable pay roll In the city. The other party would spend $40,000 in six months in the city. In reply to a question, Mr. Smith said that he would want about 200 feet of waterfront. The other party would want about 300 feet. G. W. Nickerson pointed out that the Imperial Oil Company had been unable to get a piece of waterfront for its oil tanks and storage works here, which would mean much to the city. He did not think that the Dominion Government wanted to hold up progress in the city, but he thought that there should be a settlement of this matter one way or the other. He knew the company to which Mr. Smith alluded, and its (Continued on Page Four) H. S. CLEMENTS ON POST OFFICE MEMBER FOR THE DISTRICT REPLIES TO THE HOARD OF TRADE WITH RESPECT TO MATTER. He Points Out That When the Building Is Erected There Will Be No Ground for Complaint. At the meeting of the, Board of Trade last night a letter was read from IT. S. Clements, M.P., the member for the district, dealing with the question of the postoffice site and the message that was sent him from the board at the last meeting protesting against the location. Mr. Clements stated in his letter that It was. under the hardest strain that he was able to secure the site that ,was obtained. Tbe Government could not see the value In It. It was impossible to obtain more at the time. He explained that he had himself favored a site on the Government Block, but when this was taken up with the provincial authorities the premier would not agree to the taking over of it. When it was taken into account that there was a desire that there be no open space about the site he was satisfied from his knowledge of the situation that the site would be a good one. When the building was erected they would, he felt sure, have no reason for any complaint in the matter. The letter, on the motion of G. R. Naden, was filed. In explanation of the dropping of the petition that it was proposed should be circulated it was explained that It was found by the committee that the lots were already being acquired and that it was too late to have any effect. It was therefore decided that it would be better to allow the matter to drop. GETTING READY FOR GATHERING THERE WILL BE GREAT AT. TENDANCE AT NEW WESTMINSTER TO CELEBRATE PARTY RULE. Rumor Is Afloat That Premier May Make Some Significant Remarks as to the • , Future. New Westminster, May 30.—Sir Richard McBride and other members of the Provincial Government will attend the Conservative gathering here on Monday night to celebrate the ten years of party rule in British Columbia. Preparations are being made for an immense gathering from all parts of the province for that occasion. There are rumors afloat that some significant statements may be made by the premier with respect to his future plans.

He is here to enter upon the duties of locating the last of the boundary, that which pertains to the sea and which takes its start from Cape Muzon at the southern extremity of the Alaskan Islands and runs to the line in Portland Canal. This work is a difficult one and will take some considerable time to locate exactly. This year there will be a good start made on Pit it, but so much depends upon the weather that it is difficult to say what progress will be made with any degree of certainty. Mr. Ogilvie is one of the young men of the Dominion service, but he is regarded as one of the most exacting in his work. He has undisputed ability in his line and in charge of the work that he has had in hand he has made a decided name for himself. Speaking yesterday of tbe question of jurisdiction over Hecate Straits, he expressed the opinion that the whole of the waters of that strait were in reality Canadian waters. In the past the waters have been regarded as open to the world in the matter of fishing, and in consequence the United States fishing boats have been in the habit of coming to these waters and taking halibut and conveying them to Seattle or elsewhere. If the contention of Mr. Ogilvie is the correct one, and there are many who hold this view, then the waters of Hecate Strait throughout the whole extent of it, and not alone for three milss on either side, will at once come under the jurisdiction of the Canadian Government and be open only to Canadian fishing boats. Mr. Ogilvie does not pretend to advance his views as an authority. It is his view of the ques tion, however, and lie is not by any means alone in this. If this is found to be the correct interpretation of the matter, then the straits become of immense Importance to this port. It will mean that the fishing grounds off the entrance to this harbor become the greatest asset that any place ever had. It will mean that the great bulk of the fishing for halibut on this coast must of necessity be done out of this harbor and tbe fish be landed here. Mr. Ogilvie is already at work on his surveys. He will spend the whole of the summer In this part making the city of Prince Rupert his headquarters from time to time when not actually out on the work.

Flection of Councillors for the Village at Skidegate—.lames Sterling- Named as Chief of Tribe. Ottawa, May 311.- At an eat'b hour this morning the Senate, by a vote of 51 to L'7, declared that the Naval Bill of the Government should be referred to tho Canadian people. There was one deflection from the Liberal ranks and one from the Conservative forces In the Senate. Senator Ellis of St. John, N.B., voted against tbe amendment of Sir George Ross, the leader of the Liberals, while Senator Montplair of Quebec- voted with the Liberals. The vote came following speeches by Senator Dandurand and Sir Mackenzie Bowell, who, despite his age of ninety-one years, spoke for more than an- hour and a half in defence of the bill. No demonstration of any kind took place when the vote was taken. It was taken in absolute silence. The form of amendment inlro- duced by Sir George was as follows: "That this House Is not justified In giving its assent to this bill until it has been submitted to the country." The motion proposed by Sir George Ross Is not an amendment to the bill. It Is a proposed ground for the rejection of the measure. The proceeding does not send the bill back to the Commons for amendment, but strikes It off the order paper. In 1910 Senator I.ougheeil proposed a like motion In respect to the Laurier naval bill. That was in accord with a line of policy to which Mr. Borden and bis colleagues have adhered in opposition and in power. In opposition they asked Sir Wilfrid to make an Immediate contribution by vote of Parliament to Imperial naval defence, and to prepare a permanent naval policy to he referred to the people, This programme they submitted to the Commons and the Senate. On this policy, with others, they went to the people In the general election and were sustained. This Is their policy now, and It Is accepted by tbe responsible representatives of the people. II will be blocked by Irresponsible senators rejected by the people. In 1910 the Conservatives were In a minority in both houses. They were able to <li- vide the Senate on the issue without killing in that Irresponsible chamber a measure which had passed the Commons. A motion proposed by a majority In the Senate has more i-erlotis consequences, and should be considered not only In the light 01 What It expresses, bul in the light of 'Is consequences. Sir George Ross, who three years ago refused to take the opinion of the country before adopting a permanent naval policy, has now led his party in the Senate to demand a reference to the country of a measure which supplies exactly what the British Government has declared to be the thing most needed. He was willing without a popular mandate, to commit Canada to a permanent and continuous naval programme. This year be supports bis leader in proposing to multiply that programme by three, making an investment of three or four times that which Mr. Borden now proposes, and all without reference to the electors. The only thing he will not permit without an appeal Is the one thing thai Britain needs and desires for Immediate relief. FIRE AT CHICKEN LAKE. Broughton ,V McNeil's Store Destroy* ed, Also Hotel, With Heavy Loss. (Special Correspondence.) Skidegate, May 28.—A number of Indian boats are now out, gathering dogfish for the B.C. Fisheries plant, Skidegate. The oilery of the company is not located with the remainder of the large plant, having been erected on tbe opposite side of the inlet from Aliford Bay. The livers of one dozen of dogfish produce one gallon of oil, and the price to be paid the fishermen amounts to fifteen cents per gallon. The gasoline steamers Gryme and Victor of the B.C. Fisheries took h number of men and boats to the fishing grounds al I.angara Island last week. The Skidegate Indians will no1 take part in the trolling for salmon, ontentlng themselves with Ihe dog fish business along the east coast of Graham Island. It, is expected that Hie steamers Cetriana anil British Empire will carry on a fort nightly service between Vancouver and the Queen Charlotte islands.

Fire destroyed the liotel and store at Chicken Lake lasi Monday. \ Broughton & McNeil, who owned tho premises, had a large stock on hand, and the loss was complete, only a few articles being saved. The fire started In the kitchen of the liotel and spread so rapidly that, there was no chance to save anything in the store, which was a part of the same building, A warehouse a few yards away was also burned, but tbe bunk- house was saved.

The discussion that took place last night at the meeting of the Board of Trade reveals a state of affairs that is being pressed upon the residents of the city with increasing importance every day. This is the question of waterfront for the industries that seek to come here. In this matter the Grand Trunk Pacific is likewise deeply concerned and there is every reason for believing that that company has no desire to act other than fairly with all that seek to obtain facilities for carrying on operations here. But this city is suffering from the rapid development within the place and the demands for the immediate future. Were the city, like the ordinary centre, developed after long years of growth during which time the place had settled down to its natural conditions with the regular lapse of time, there would be none of these difficulties confronting it. The perplexities that are facing the place are the natural penalties that the city is paying for its phenomenal growth. It is the healthiest sign that there could be. The Grand Trunk Pacific in the disposition of the waterfront that it has at its disposal has a very serious proposition to face up to. In the very heart of the city as it exists today- there is not available a very large extent of waterfront. The Grand Trunk Pacific has had, at a very heavy expense, a careful examination of the whole proposition made by an expert. His report is now being considered, and until the officials of the company have satisfied themselves as to the final disposition of the waterfront it is foolish for them to dispose of any that they have. The company must provide for their own needs along the lines that they have in view for this port. If it is to be a port of no importance to the company there will, of course, be little waterfrontage required. But this is not the evident intention of the company. On the other hand, there is to be laid out here by the Grand Trunk Pacific one of the best ports that there is on the Pacific Coast. It is to be the great port of the company and the plans they have are to be on a most elaborate scale. Pending the settlement of these things, there will apparently have to be some patience shown in spite of tbe fact that it is vexatious to the intending manufacturers and the citizens generally. Many and odd are the causes of interruptions in telephone service, but one of the oddest comes from one of the small exchanges of the B.C. Telephone Company near Vancouver. An "L" party line sub- criber complained that her telephone always went out of order about the same time on Friday afternoons. Although several complaints had been received, the plant department could never find out what the trouble was, as it took a man nearly an hour to get the subscriber's house and the fault was always cleared within that time. Realizing that since tbe trouble was so regular and occurred at about the same time each week the cause must be the same in each instance, the wire chief had men go to the homes of both parties on the line just about the time the trouble was expected. It was then ascertained that the lady of the house on the R" line was placid'y using the receiver as a holder for darning socks! ■ ° — FIRE ALARM SYSTEM. ** **»»♦*¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥»¥¥¥¥»¥»»¥»¥»»¥¥* ¥*** LUMBER Coal, Cement, Plaster and Brick AND A COMPLETE LINE OF BUILDERS' SUPPLIES | WESTHOLME LUMBER CO., LTD.

The cost of plant is $550, with maintenance expenses of $15, and revenue $ll!f>, at Norwich, Ont.; $800, with $25 maintenance and $132 revenue at Cedars, Que. The other extremes are Toronto with a revenue of $822,000; Montreal, $1,143,000 revenue and a $14,000,000 municipal plant. The cost of tho Winnipeg system is $3,- 500,000 with a revenue of $425,000, while Vancouver waterworks are reported to have cost $3,000,000, with a revenue from consumers of $400,- 000. There is a remarkable variation In the consumption of water in proportion to population. Vancouver people served by the general system take 17,000,000 gallons per day, or 13li gallons per head. Victoria residents are satisfied with 80 gallons, which may be partly due lo the metre system. Calgary takes 175 gallons per head, Edmonton 120. Regina goes rather dry with 45 gallons, while Saskatoon uses 09 gallons. Winnipeg is economical, taking a daily allowance of 46 gallons. Toronto's consumption is 99 gallons, that of Ottawa 175, Hamilton 123, Kingston 121, while London consumes only 84. Montreal, has a public and private waterworks serving different localities, the fru-nier district taking 122 gallons per head, the other 109. Quebec Cily finds use for 134 gallons per head, while Hull consumes 211. -No 'ess tnan 217-gallons per head daily are required in Mali-, fax. St. John takes 208 gallons, while the capital of Prince Edward Island gets along with 59 gallons. The difference is due in part to the character of the loca'. industries, partly to tho generosity of the supply In some towns and the consequent disregard of waste. In general those cities which sell water by measure rather than by the flat rate use less. /There were in Canada in 1911 348 waterworks plants, whereas in 1905 there were 266, in 1900 214, and in 1890 only 112. Nova Scotia has 29, New Brunswick 16, Prince Edward Island 3, Quebec 96, Ontario 144, Manitoba 8, Saskatchewan 15, Alberta 16, and British Columbia 21. This province had only one waterworks system in 1875 and 1880, two in 1885, five in 1890, six in 1895, 13 in 1900, 16 In 1905, and 21 in 1911. Alberta appears first on the list in 1895, but 12 of the 16 plants in that province have been established since 1905. In the same period Saskatchewan has increased her 12 to 15. Of the 46 waterworks systems in Canada 228, or nearly two-thirds, depend upon the pump. Manitoba has no gravity supply, Ontario pumps for 126 waterworks and uses gravity for only 18. Nova Scotia and British Columbia have less need of pumping. In the former province 19 waterworks out of 29, and in British Columbia 17 out of 21 places get water by gravity. This Is one advantage of a hill country. Canadian cities and towns have paid $95,600,000 for waterworks plants. They pay $3,500,000, besides interest, for maintenance. There are 5,215 miles of mains, carrying on the average 113 gallons pel- day to each person. The average cost In all Canada is ten cents per 1000 gallons, and It may comfort the people of British Columbia to know that they pay only eight and one- fifth cents, if the general cost of living Is higher here than elsewhere, the price of the most necessary commodity is lower than thai of any other province except Nova Scotia. Moreover, the cost of water per head of the people supplied in this province is less than in any other province except Prince Ed- j ward Island, where they use on the average less than "half the quantity that wo take. o Will Go to England!

Many Men Fishing, Over one thousand men are at the fishing grounds, off Langara Island, and the latest news is that there is a demand for an increase in the price of fish. It Is reported that a strike is in progress, a number of I.W.W.'s being active in leading the fishermen to demand more pay for the salmon. The steam trawler James Carruthers conveyed the mail to the residents of the north end of Graham Island on the day of thi-\iiiisliap to the steamer Prince Albert, for] which the residents were very thankful to Manager William Lord of the Canadian Pish .v- Cold Storage Company. Indian Agenl Ueasy returned! to Masset on the steamer, brii glng the tirsl news of Ihe Btranding ol the regular boat. Trying Experiences, Indian Agent Thomas Deasy had a varied experience during his lasi ■ visit to the Skidegate end of his! agency. While holding the election of the Indian Council at Skidegate Reserve the building took fire and he returned to his old calling as a fire lighter, with his usual luck in saving the building. While crossing from Skidegate to Prince Rupert a wave came into the dining room while he was engaged in drinking a glass of Eps >m Salts. He was on the Prince Albert when the vessel went on the rocks at Port Simpson, and caught a trawler the same day, travelling with a "Lord" to his home, arriving a few hours after he was expected there, without further mishap. A number of Port Simpson, Skidegate and Alaska Indians are on Langara Island, ready to fish for spring .salmon. A bridge connecting Masset Town- site with Delkatla is in course of construction. W. 0. Gillette is the contractor. An appropriation of $5000 appears in the supplementary estimates for a wharf at the new townsite of Queenstown on Masset Inlet.

The new wharf at Masset Town- site has been completed, and was formally opened on Victoria Day. \V G. Gillette, the contractor, was complimented on the stability of the structure. .1. F.

URGE GOVERNMENT i Continued From Page One) coming would mean the expenditure of $200,000. Mr. Allison thought that the Board of Trade should get busy at once. They should takt off their coats and get in and work to bring industries here. He knew of men coming here ready to spend money who hud to leave because they could get no waterfrontage. He thought thai a committee should be appointed to do what ii could In tills matter. Mr Nlckerson said thai he knew Hun Porl Edward was offering the company referred io a free site to do business there. That harbor would also suii (lie purposes of the company. They should get busy and bring them here, however. Aid. Nation explained the situation as he understood it with respect to the waterfront. He pointed out that when the division of the waterfront was made between the province and the Grand Trunk Pacific the latter companj was supposed to have it; rights to the foreshore from the Dominion Government and it was specified that Ihe province was to have the same rights transferred to it that the Grand Trunk Pacific had in this foreshore. If the Grand Trunk Pacific had not the rights, then the province could have no greater rights than the company. Mr. Smith said that within the last few weeks there had been a settlement arrived at between the Provincial Government and the Dominion Government by which the province secured its rights. O. II. Nelson said that he thought that there was soijie misunderstanding with respect to the rights that were sought and referred to. The Dominion authorities exercised the right to approve of any undertaking that might encroach upon navigable waters. It made no difference who proposed to put/ in a wharf or any other undertaking, if it projected into the water of the harbor it would have to be formally approved by the Government at Ottawa. The Provincial Government, as he understood had made its application for approval of the undertakings which had been erected on the foreshore In front of Its property, and would undoubtedly have them approved. The Grand Trunk Pacific had for some reason not complied with this regulation, but he was led to believe that the complete plans as prepared by Mr. Bogue were being submitted to the Government, and would undoubtedly be approved. The company had contended that the works that had so far been carried out on the waterfront were only temporary and they did not wish to submit plans until they submitted the final ones. Any works that might be put there by any concern would have to be formally approved. With respect to the difficulty of getting waterfront from the Grand Trunk Pacific, he thought that it was due in large measure to the fact that, the company did not want to make any mistake at this stage of the game. The company had a very elaborate plan prepared for the waterfront by Mr. Bogue, and until the officials of the company had finally considered these and decided exactly what was needed 4MHMMMMMMMMMMMHMMMI I I I I -I I I I illllll,,,1' SHIPPING NEWS OF THE BUSY NORTHERN PORT IN THE SUPREME COURT OF BRITISH COLUMBIA. ****•***•*••* ***********kkkkkkkkk**1r***************** SAILINGS OF STEAMERS SATURDAY, MAY 31.

TELEPHONE CONNECTION. Wnen the Grand Trunk Pacific steamers Prince George ana Prince Rupert dock at Prince Rupert, Vancouver and Victoria they are at once connected with the Prince Rupert system or with the B. C. Telephone Company system by means of special equipment attached to the private branch exchange of the Grand Trunk Pacific Company. A standard residence wall telephone is mounted in the main cabin, from which heavy insulated wire Is run in conduit to outlets on either side of the boat, just forward of the cabin. From the outlets the connection Is made to Ihe dock with fifteen-foot lengths of flexible waterproof lighting cord, to which is attached a plug similar to tho ordinary switchboard plug, but seven and three-quarter Inches long. This plug is inserted in a metal jack box mounted under the dock gangway and connecting with the P.B.X. The jack box and plug are strongly constructed to guard against mechanical Injury and to withstand the severe weather conditions to which they are exposed. A No. 138 Western Electric jack is used, it being found after experiment that this jack is most suitable for the purpose. WEEKLY SERVICE. Commencing today the C.P.R. will have a double service to Skagway, making a weekly call here both ways. This service will be carried out by i the Princess May and the Princess Sophia. The May leaves Vancouver tonight for here, reaching port Monday. Returning she will reach here Monday from Skagway, leaving again the same morning. The Princess Sophia will follow the same schedule, alternating with the May. All summer there will, therefore, be a C.P. R. steamer arrive on Monday from the south and on the way south tbe steamers will call Saturday forenoon. The new service will be a welcome one, especially in the matter of the mail service, as it ensures a Monday mall from the south. Ask for Complete Literature and Photographs of PortEdward,B.C.

THIRD AVBNUH - - - OPFOSITE POSTOFFIOJC for their own purposes they did not want to alienate in any sense any of the waterfront. This could not be wondered at. W. E. Williams thought that this was an important matter. He agreed that it would i -ike no difference what was t be ..one, the approval of the Dominion authorities would have to be obtained where it interfered with navigable waters. He moved that a request be made of the Provincial Government to open its waterfront under restrictions that would ensure the immediate carrying out of works on it, and that a committee go Into this matter with the parties interested. Mr. Nlckerson suggested that the board take this matter up with the Government and ascertain exactly where they stood on the matter of the waterfront. Aid. Naden pointed out that this matter of the opening up of the Government waterfront was not a new thing. It had been up when Sir Richard McBride was here the last time. Then the citizens' commit too had not concrete applications to offer. It might be now with applications In hand that they nilghl be able to huvo something done. There were apparently three concrete propositions I hat were open to urge upon the Premier, The motion carried and the president of the board was authorized to appoint a committee of five to deal I with this question.
