SPRING SALMON ARE BEGINNING TO COME Tne James Carruthers of the Canadian Fish and Cold Storage Company Will Make Trips to Queen Charlottes Twice A Week — Brought In 1,000 Yesterday As A Start- -On the Way Vessel Took Up 30 000 of Halibut The run of spring salmon is already commenced. The James Carruthers of the fleet of the Canadian Fish & Cold Storage arrived back from Graham Island yesterday morning with the first load from those fishing grounds. It had 1000 of the fish, all in first-class shape for curing. Tbe vessel left again last night for the Islands and will from now on make two trips a week to the stations on the. Islands, where the fishermen will leave the fish for the trawler to take on board for Prince Rupert. In and about the harbor of Prince Rupert there are fish being taken also of the spring variety. Off Graham Island there is a marked run of them and the boats that are operating there are taking good numbers. The spring salmon is used for mild curing largely and is kept as fresh as possible, so that they will have to be gathered quickly, being kept on ice up to the very time of curing. The Carruthers will, therefore, keep plying back and forth to the Islands as quickly as possible to facilitate the handling. On the trip from the Islands yesterday the trawler in the absence of a complete load of springs, dropped a few dories and in the course of a few hours gathered in 30,000 pounds of halibut without much trouble.

New Pastor of Methodist Church Comes From Fernie, Where He Has Been Very Popular With Congregation. ************* RIOTS IN HALIFAX. • Halifax, May 17.—A mob four thousand strong stoned the street cars and the tram offices here last night. The riots lasted all night. The militia had to be called to quell the disorder. The employees are on strike and many have been seriously hurt. LAND BILL IS NOT ADVANCED HOPES ARE ENTERTAINED THAT NEGOTIATIONS FOR MODIFICATIONS MAY BE ENTERED INTO. Attempt Made to Discourage Sensational Stories us to Strained Relations With Japan. Washington, May 17.—The Japanese negotiations over the California land bill have not ' advanced the slightest auring the last twenty- four hours. Governor Johnson has not yet signed the bill, so far as officials in Washington are advised. It is believed negotiations for a modification of the. bill will be resumed. Officials here are doing everything to discourage any sensational stories which might provoke strained relations. Hon. W. J. Bryan today admonished newspaper callers against speaking as to the government's policies. o Paul Naylor, contractor for the Quarantine Wharf on Digby Island.

Remember that Harry C. Evans, the pioneer piano tuner, Is in the city. Leave ordek-s at Hayner's. tf Unless some other change is made by the stationing committee of the Methodist Church, Rev. C. R. Sing, who for three years has been pastor here, will remove to Duncans, Vancouver Island, and Rev. John O. Dimmick will become pastor In Prince Rupert. Mr. Sing, during his pastorate here, has to his credit three years of persevering work. In that time he was instrumental In having a move made towards securing a very substantial church building here. His new station on Vancouver Island Is a delightful one, being a very complete change from the conditions that prevail here. Duncans is a prosperous little town, with a rich country around it, with well-cultivated farms. As things go in British Columbia it ranks as one of the old places. Rev. Mr. Dimmick, the new pastor for Prince Rupert, has had a very successful career in the ministry. He has been three years in Fernie, and when it was decided that he should come to Prince Rupert his congregation telegraphed a request that he return to Fernie for another year. He is reported to be a man specially adapted for this place. OIL IS SAID TO HAVE BEEN STRUCK IT IS REPORTED FROM THE WEST COAST OF GRAHAM ISLAND THAT PETROL- EUM IS LOCATED. Local Engineer, F. Panvini, Has Gone to Scene to Ascertain How Mattei-s Now Stand There. It is reported on many hands from Graham Island that oil has been struck in quantity on the west coast of the Island. The report has been in circulation for some little time TRANSFORMING ENTRANCE TO CITY Centre Street No Longer Has A Place on the Map -G. T. P. Spending Millions of Dollars To Bring the Waterfront Into Line With Its Plans For Making It the Best Port On the Pacific Ocean- Work Will Soon Start Centre street, or what has been known under that name for so long a time, will soon be a thing of the past. The violent hands of the railway contractor have been laid upon it and with the assistance of dynamite and the steam shovel there will soon be a great gap torn in what was for a long time the city's principal avenue. Those who look back upon the city of Prince Rupert be and is being more strongly sub-'fore tne days of Centre street, even stantiated as time goes on. It is said wnen J. H. Pillsbury, as the engin- that the conditions at the borings are such as to satisfy all those concerned that the future of the oilfields is of the very brightest. Local interests in the holdings at 'he point referred to have decided to make a more thorough inspection .wnen what has B[nce come to be C. A. McMorran, insurance manager of the Dominion Trust Com pany, Vancouver, is in the city. of the situation, and accordingly P Panvini, a well-known local engineer, has gone over to the Islands to see for himself how the matter stands. He is expected to return in the course of a few days and should have exact information on the subject. If the reports are true, there is one of the greatest booms in store for that part of the district that has been seen in any part of British Columbia for many a year. Prince Rupert will be a decided benefitter by this. eer in charge of operations here, was the supreme ruler of the place and the solid stamping ground consisted alone of the decking of the small whanf that served the purposes of the embryonic city, will recall that called Centre street was started it was generally referred to as Pills- bury avenue. The engineer so honor ed, however, had serious objections to that name, being a modest man. The operations that are being carried out by the railway company In connection with the work of getting ready for the great terminals has completely altered the whole face of Nature. Where commanding hills stood and where the no inconsiderable creek ran, near the base of Centre street, has all been wiped off the map. It is quickly being transformed into the solid foundation for tho substantial offices that will serve in the course of a few months' time as the terminal offices for the company and the station accommodation. In addition, there will be the foundation in Ibis excavated part for the rails that will be the starting and the ending point for the transcontinental trains that will be constantly going and coming to the place.

While citieB of over 100,000 of a population are striving to interest capital In drydocks, in shipbuilding plants, in elevator; and In many other lines of industry and permanent improvements these are assured to Prince Rupert in its infancy and in many instances the works are already under way. Few residents really realize what the work means to the city. In order to bring to their attention the situation in this respect the following works now under way or assured to the city are enumerated: Prince Rupert floating dock, under construction by the G. T. P. at a cost approaching $2,000,000 and capable of taking care of the largest vessel on the Pacific Ocean. Shipbuilding plant in conjunction with the floating dock in which can be constructed coasting vessels at any season of the year, Grain elevators with a capacity of ten uil'lion bushels to be constructed by the G. T. P. Colossal hotel to cost a million dollars now about to be started by the G.T.P. Permanent station and sheds for the. wharf now about to start by the G. T. P. Acres of railway yards now being cleared by the G. T. P. of rock at a cost of a million dollars or more.

P, permanent docks for the railway company, oil storage tanks for the Standard Oil Company to supply all the demands of the north and numerous other industrial concerns.

The city of Prince Rupert and the district generally will receive a decided advantage from the Exhibition that is to be held here this Fall, and It is to be hoped that this will become one of the permanent events of the year in the city. The committee that has the work in hand appear to be giving a vast amount of work to the proposition, with the result that there is an assurance that the Fair will be a credit to the place. From a publicity standpoint the Exhibition cannot fail to have a decided effect. It will attract to the district attention to the fact that this is a farming country and not a wilderness. New British Columbia is only beginning to be opened up. Tbe possibilities of the country are not yet known. A start has been made in the direction of development, but it will require years before the resources of the district are fully grasped. There has been a start made in the opening up to the attention of ihe world the vast areas of agricultural lands that lie within a measurable distance of this city, and the Immense possibilities of this land. The Fair will demonstrate to the world that there is a country here which can produce all that any other part of the Province of British Columbia can yield. In no one direction from the city Is there a monopoly of the arable lands. On the contrary, there are wide stretches of the very best farming areas obtainable in practically every direction from this city. Along the line of the Grand Trunk Pacific, which has had the effect of bringing this district into the public eye and making it possible as a place of residence, there are fertile valleys that stretch south of the Skeena for miles into the Lakelse aud up the Kitsumkalum into the Naas and the Groundhog country, which cannot be excelled in point of farm lands. Owing to the proximity to the city of Prince Rupert, with the immense possibilities that the city has, these lands must as a natural consequence come to be used for intensive farming and from these fertile fields that are now being cleared will come the future fruit and vegetable supplies for the'ambitious port that is to be built up here. These valleys, in the opinion of the Deputy Minister of Agriculture, W. E. Scott, constitute the largest and the richest agricultural areas in the whole of the Province of British Columbia. Farther along the Skeena lie smaller valleys that are none the less rich as fields for settlement. Still farther lies the vast open country that is afforded In the valley of the Bulkley, with the lake country to the south of it, well adapted for mixed farming and for grazing. North and south of the Grand Trunk Pacific throughout the /territory through which the railway runs are elevated plains that will produce crops and stock to supply a great population. All of this area will afford the means of feeding the population of Prince Rupert and the other industrial and trading centres that may be built up. Interspersed with the agricultural lands is the richest promise in the line of mining and timber, all of which will bring together a population that will prove the best buyers of produce that can be found. The Queen Charlottes and the intervening islands along the coast abound in rich bottom lands that will maintain a vast farming population and serve to feed this city. It would appear, in fact, as If Nature had been particularly prodigal in the bestowing of riches in this northern district. The resources that are usually found in rich quantity in other parts of the province seem to have all been poured out In equal richness here. The mineral resources of the district are unexcelled; the fisheries are the best on the coast; the timber will rival that of any other part of the province; and the agricultural and fruit lands are the greatest and the richest that the province has. The heritage of the North Is a great one. The future cannot fail to be a great one. PHEASANTS ON QUEEN CHARLOTTES AT INSTANCE OF GAME DEPARTMENT OF PROVINCIAL GOVERNMENT TEST IS BEING MADE.

Myers & Dunlup, Alyansh, B.C. JelO In order to test the Queen Charlotte Islands as a place for the "rearing of the Mongolian and English pheasant, so much sought after as a game bird, a number of these have been placed on the Islands at the instance of the game department of the province. It is believed that the mild climate that prevails there will be exactly suited to the birds and that in a short time there will be great numbers roaming at will there. If that is the result, the importance of the Islands as a source for sport will be radically increased. The pheasant thrives well on Vair- couver Island and on the lower mainland of the province, and it is anticipated that there should be no difficulty in having them breed readily on the near-by islands. The experiment will be watched with a great deal of interest and it is hoped that the experiment may be a signal success. +**¥¥■¥¥■¥ LUMBER t Coal, Cement, Plaster and Brick AND A COMPLETE LINE OF BUILDERS' SUPPLIES J WESTHOLME LUMBER CO., LTD. jj First Avenue Prince Rupert Telephone 186 t *************************k*************************** OUR BEST LEADER Rexall Glycerine Soap 15c the Cake.

The London Assurance, the first of the Important general offices to issue its report, has reason to he proud of its statement of affairs. Although excellent results are invariably secured in normal times by this venerable institution, the figures for the past year are surprisingly g-jod, and beyond the most sanguine expectations. In all departments- life, fire, marine and accident—past records, both as regards turnover and net profits, have been easily surpassed, and as a result of the year's operations there has been an accession of strength without precedent i:i the corporation's long career of nearly two hundred years. The assurances completed in the life department exhibit considerable expansion, new policies having been issued for a total sum of £873,393, against £464,299 in the preceding year. The business is manifestly of high quality, as Is shown by the average amount insured, viz., £1300. The fire premium income also forms a record, the sum received being £681,140, an advance of some £20,- 000 over 1911, while the losses were only £301,609, or 44 1-4 per cent. The underwriting surplus was £120,- 2/9, or 17.66 per cent. " of the premiums. This surplus, derived from a world-wide business, proves Tjoth that the skill in selection is of the highest order, and that the business is under complete control. The marine results also come as a surprise, for instead of being below, they are much above the average, the balance being £72,272, or 17.03 per cent, on a premium revenue of £424,155. The wretched condition of marine insurance generally is, therefore, not reflected in the returns of the London, there being every indication that the busines is on an extremely sound and progressive basis. The marine fund now stands at £400,000, and a substantial sum has been transferred to profit and loss. The Capital and Leasehold Redemption Account is a small one. So also is the Accident Account, hut the income is making steady progress, and for quality it is unsurpassed. The premiums amounted to £14,091, and after the payment of claims, expenses, and other charges, the surplus was £5520, or 9.17 per cent. It is evident, therefore, that this department will in time add materially to the profits. * No one will be found to criticise the financial administration. How excellent the position is in this re- pect is indicated by the following figures: Shareholders' dividend £89,655 Interest on departmental funds (exclusive of life Fire department.£23,006 Marine dept. . . . 12,429 Accident dept. .. 613 ^ Profit and loss . . 37,484 Add life profits Transfer fees . . 73,532 15,000 45 88,577 Required from underwriting profits £1,078 The only charge, therefore, upon the profits In order to pay the dividend of £89,655, Is the trifling one of £1,078, and It must be remembered that last* year these profits amounted to the handsome sum of £191,846. No office is more fortunately placed, and the position is rapidly improving. After payment of the dividend, the resources (excluding the life department) are increased by upwards of £190,000. This must necessarily have a marked effect upon the Interest earnings. The London is an old historic office, and has played an important part in insurance history. In seven more years it will celebrate its bicentenary—a rare distinction even with insurance Institutions. It has passed through all the vicissitudes which k' have overtaken insurance business during two centuries with composure, dignity and success, and today Its prospects are brighter, and its vigor and capacity for usefulness greater than at any previous stage. The above stable company is represented here by M. M. Stephens & Co., the well-known writers of i' surance. PUBLIC NOTICE.

PaU Mall Gazette Gives Expression to the Peeling; of Antipathy Which Western Canada Has for Orientals. London, May 17.—It is stated that a number of steamers have been chartered by the United States Government to carry Welsh coal for the American fleet on the Pacific Coast. This activity on the part of the United States is taken to implicate a naval demonstration on the Pacific, but it is not expected here that the present difficulty with Japan will lead to open hostilities. Should war break out, says the Pall Mall Gazette, the sympathies of Western Canada, New Zealand and Australia would be violently with the Americans, The paper continues that it is of the opinion that Japan will never go to wflr to force her treaty rights. , California is pursuing one of those dangerous generalities which lead nations blindfold to the brink of the pit. There are several reasons why Japan should press the issue at at the present moment, the most obvious of these being the Panama oanal. RUSSIANS CANE DIRECT TO HERE PARTY OF FOUR ARRIVED FEW DAYS AGO AND PROCEEDED AT ONCE UP THE SKEENA. They Were the First Group to Arrive Bound Through United States to This District. A few days ago on a steamer from Seattle there arrived here the -first group of Russian Immigrants to come to this country direct by way of the United States. There were four of them in the company and they entered by the United States Atlantic ports, being inspected there by tbe Dominion officials, and passed on directly by card to the local port, travelling all the way by the United States. Here they were duly passed by the local immigration officer, Dr. McNeill, and proceeded up- the Skeena to become residents of the country. They were all of them fine specimens of settler and should" assimilate with the country. .0 SPORTS YESTERDAY'S BASEBALL. Northwestern League. Seattle, 8; Vancouver, 2. Spokane,.3; Tacoma, 6.

First One Is Made Relative to the United States Production for the Year. The first official estimate of the size of the crop of winter wheat has been made in the May crop report of the Crop Reporting Board, Bureau of Statistics, United States Department of Agriculture. The report shows the condition on May 1 of winter wheat, rye, meadow lands and pastures, the percentage of spring plowing and spring planting completed, the acreage of the winter wheat to be harvested, the estimated out-turn of the winter wheat crop and the stocks of hay on farms. The figures are: Winter wheat—The average condition of the winter wheat on May 1 was 91.9 per cent, of a normal, compared with 91.6 per cent. April 1, 79.7 per cent. May 1, 1912, and 85.6 per cent, the average for the past ten years on May 1. The average of winter wheat remaining to be harvested was about 3,308,000 acres, or 449,000 acres less than the area last autumn, but 1,367,000 acres more than the area harvested last year (2,657,000 acres). The condition on May 1 is indicative of yield per acre of approximately 16.6 bushels, assuming average variations to prevail thereafter. On the estimated area to be harvested this would produce a final crop of 513,- 571,000 bushels compared with 399,- 000,000 bushels in 1912; 430,656,- 000 bushels in 1911; 434,142,000 bushels in 1910, and 417,780,000 bushels in 1909. The out-turn of the crop probably will be above or below the figures here given, according to the condition from May 1 to the time of harvest is above or below the average change. Spring plowing—Of spring plowing 67.2 per cent, was completed up to May 1, compared with 52.8 per cent., May 1, 1912, and a ten year average on May 1 of 65.7 per cent. Spring planting—Of spring planting 57.0 per cent, was completed up to May 1, compared with 48.9 per cent, on May 1, 1912, and a six year average on May 1 of 54.3 per cent. KAIEN HARDWARE P.O.

Apparently there is to be keen competition this season in the spring salmon trade out of here. This fish is used nearly altogether in the mild- curing process. The spring salmon does not run in schools to the same extent as the other varieties on the coast, and so their coming and going is not a matter to be counted upon as surely as the sockcye, for instance. At the same time, the spring salmon has its favorite gathering places, and off Masset Inlet seems to be a favorite place for the fish. | Accordingly, the fishermen engaged in the taking of the springs have congregated for the most part In that vicinity. Thence the fishing steamers from the mild-curing establishments will have to proceed to buy the take. Four or five different fishing companies on this coast are intending to make a specialty of this lino of curing this season. ' PRINCE JOHN SAILED.

GLUCK, WELL-KNOWN PIONEER OF CITY, IS RACK, AFTER LIVING IN NEW YORK. He Hits Business Here anil Will Remain Some Little Time—Says This Place Looks Good to Him. J. Gluck, one of the most popular of Prince Rupert's pioneers, is again in the city, after an absence of some months. He has spent the most of the time he has been away in the east, making his headquarters in New York. Business, and at the same time a lurking liking for the city of Prince Rupert, led him to turn his steps in this direction again. He will spend a few weeks, perhaps, here. He will then make for San Diego, where he has business interests. The money stringency that is prevailing lias not, says Mr. Gluck, made itself as manifest in ,he eastern cities as it is in the vest. Prince Rupert, however, he thinks, has escaped very well in this regard and there is not the evidences here that the tightness of money Is showing in some of the larger cities of the west. This city looks well to him and he has the same unboundlng faith as he has ever had in the city. o • v C. S.
