BREWERY WILL BE BUILT AT ONCE Strong Company Recently Organized on the Coast Will Erect Building At Once-Beer Will Be x Made Here Before the Year Is Out Says Robert Kelly Who Is Vice- President of the Corporation Which Is Behind the Undertaking BUILD STREETS IN NEW HAZELTON ROBERT KELLY ANNOUNCES IM- PROVEMENTS WILL BE MADE IN THE INTERIOR TOWN. The Mines in the Vicinity Are Now- Looking Remarkably Well, Says the Well-known Rig Wholesaler. The B.C. Breweries, a strong company recently organized on this coast, In which Robert Kelly, of Kelly, Douglas & Co., is one of the controlling Interests, will have a brewery in operation here before the end of the year. This Is the announcement made by Robert Kelly last night on his return from New Hazelton, where he had been looking over the situation there. He is vice-president of the comr/any which already controls the Vancouver Brewery and the famous one In Nanaimo. Other brewing concerns on the coast are to be taken over and Prince Rupert is to figure in the enterprise with a brand new concern. Mr. Kelly feels that the time Is ripe for starting here. This view he held before he came north this time, but his visit to the city and to the country along the line of the Grand Trunk Pacific has strengthened his feeling In this way. He has decided that there is no time to be lost and accordingly will urge action upon his company. Tbe question of a site has not yet been decided. That is something to be gone into carefully, and Henry Relfle, of Nanaimo, who is the practical manager of the enterprise, will come north and finally decide upon the whole matter. Mr. Kelly himself looked over some sites and is satisfied with some that he saw, but will not decide in the matter until Mr. Reifle passes upon them/ The B.C. Breweries has as its president Clarence Marpole, who is managing-director as well. It Is strongly capitalized, and, as mentioned some time ago in these columns, has had in view the starting of a brewery here. It has been decided at once to begin operations, however, according to Mr. Kelly's statement. It is not to be expected that the brewery to be built here will be of the largest class on the start. It 1b the intention to put In a solid and substantial foundation, allowing for the putting In later of a large class of building. On the start the equipment will be such as to handle the local trade. The progress of the city, Mr. Kelly thinks, ls'^such that the erection of a brewery to take care of the demands should not be longer delayed. Added to this is the demand that is being created in the interior, which prompts immediate action on the part of his company. Mr. Reifle is one of the most experienced brewers in the province. Under his practical management the Installation of an up-to- date brewery is assured In the city. NOT GUILTY OF WRONGDOING Ontario Ministers Who Were Charged With Improper Conduct Cleared by Vote of House. The Legislature of Ontario adopted the report of the committee on privileges and elections which exonerated Sir James Whitney and Hon. W. J. Hanna of any Improper conduct in connection with the settlement of the Taylor-Scott Company's claim against the Government. It also passed an amendment attached to the motion for adoption condemning Wm. Proudfoot, M.P.P., who laid the charges. The resolution was as follows: "And this House deems It to be its duty to declare and place on record its unqualified condemnation and censure of the conduct of the member for Centre Huron, in putting before this House charges of a serious character, reflecting upon the honor of two ministers of the Crown, and which charges were shown by sworn testimony of witnesses called by the said member for Centre Huron to be untrue and without foundation, and this House further censures and condemns the conduct of the said member for Centre Huron In refusing to be sworn and to give evidence with relation of his said charges when called upon to do so." This action followed a prolonged and acrimonious debate. Mr. Hanna was given a rousing reception when he arose to address the House. New Hazelton is to have improved streets. Robert Kelly,, who Is interested in the townsite there, and Mr. Hayward, who was agent for the townsite, returned to the city last evening from a visit to New Hazelton. They went fully into the question of the future of the place and the improvements that were needed there. Mr. Kelly says that it is the intention to have some streets put in at once. There will be plank roads put to Harvey & McKinnon's Hotel, now under construction, and the various other parts of the place. In addition to this, communication is to be made with the bridge that is planned to connect with the mines, which promise so well. Mr. Kelly is well pleased with the outlook at the place. In company with J. W. Stewart, Mr. Kelly visited the Standard Mine and saw the work that is in progress there. He does not pretend to be a mining man or to know much about minerals, but he says that one did not need to know mining to understand that there was a great wealth in the workings. He feels that the mines will show up well and will accordingly make New Hazelton an important distributing point. rO «•******•« * * * * * PLAYED A DRAW. * * The football match between * * the Caledonian Club and the * * Grand Trunk Pacific United re- * * suited in a draw last night.

LYNCH DOWN FROM HAZELTON PIONEER MERCHANT IS WELL SATISFIED WITH THE BUSINESS IN THE NEW INTERIOR. He Is Doing n Very Large Business at tbe Head of Steel—The Front Pleases the Well-known Citizen. Among those who reached the city front the interior last night was W, Lynch, the well-known merchant. He has been taking charge of the store that he has opened at New Hazelton and reports that business is good in the interior. The mines, he feels, are destined to Stake Hazelton a most important distributing centre. He is satisfied that'there are six or eight mines already assured to do business with New Hazelton. These will, he feels satisfied, have good gangs of men employed and will make flourishing properties. Tie trade from the point is good, and .with the rapid development in the |hterior there seems every assurance that there will'be a continuation of business. He will take back a carload of stock on his return on Saturday to meet the demands of the business there.

On Wednesday evening, Baron and Baroness de Bernls gave a delightful dance at their new home on Borden street. The guests were invited for 10:45 and at 11 o'clock a very pretty old-fashioned cotillion was in full swing. The members of Mr. Werner's orchestra were seated in the den, the sliding doorsrtiif which were thrown back so that -the music could be well heard by thdgejdaneing in the spacious hall ajgijjeception room. The immaculate house, with its tapestry burlap and beautiful panelled woodwork of native fir, made a fitting background for the bevy of pretty women and exquisite gowns seen there. With surprising patience and good taste, the beautiful hostess had decorated the whole house with festoons of paper flowers and satin rib- The poultry and egg producing business is one that is yet In its infancy in Prince Rupert and in consequence the city has to depend upon shipments from the south for its supply of fresh eggs. There are reasons for believing that the vicinity of Prince Rupert is well adapted for tbe raising of poultry and that there will soon be a large supply of eggs to meet the local demands. One resident of the city has started in the business on a large scale. This is I. Director, formerly engageo in the drygoods business here, but who concluded that he would prefer to live the simpler life which poultry farming calls for. He accordingly built his home on Eleventh avenue, well out towards Shawatlans Passage, and here he has on his four lots made provision for quite extensive poultry yards and houses. He has put up substantial houses for the hens and in connection with them has an artificially heated breeding and hatching room. Here he has upwards of a hundred young chicks now adapting themselves to their new surroundings. He is hatching more continually, and will soon have a very large stock of chickens. In the pens for the adults there are about four hundred hens, and Mr. Director is taking in a very good supply of eggs a day. He acknowledges that the work is new and that he has had lots of lessons to learn by experience, but the work is interesting and he is well satisfied with the results. What Is being done on Eleventh avenue is but the beginning of what should be a thriving industry in this part of the province. The raising of poultry on some of the islands near by Prince Rupert Is being carried out in a smaller way and with good results. » bons, Interspersed with many interesting photos, some of which depicted the Baron's prowess in the saddle when winning the Calgary jumping competition, and when in his cavalry regiment. The first event of the evening was the breaking of a large bowl of sweets in tbe middle of the floor, which heralded the house-warming. This was done by Mrs. Hubert Ward and Mr. Durant with a precision and swing which told of many a long drive on the golf links. A little later, after some dancing, the hostess and Mrs. Hulloiik-Webster appeared on the staircase with bas- MATERIAL PROGRESS ON DRY DOCK Foundations for the Buildings Are Nearly Completed At Hays Creek-Immense Culvert That Is To Carry the Waters of Creek Under the Fill Is Almost Finished Also-About 500 More Piles Are Required at the Works-- The Time Is Approaching For A Start Being Made on the Buildings That Are Required on the Carrying Out of the Scheme Which Is In View By the G.

The cost of the work is estimated to be $2,500,000, but it is safe to expect that the estimate will be exceeded before the dock is in place. All night long, as we'l as during the day-time, the work of levelling off the waterfront for the gigantic works Is going forward. Archie Mc- Dougall has now two steam shovels installed at the place and is not allowing any of the good weather to pass without adding tho fullest quota of the filling to the undertaking. His aim Is either to have the rock piles completely removed or very nearly cleared away by the end of tho year. Those who have followed his course exception of those that will be required for the shipbuilding shed. This latter, however, is not. in a place where filling will need to be done. On the contrary, rock will have to be excavated for that work, and this is in progress. The filling in of the tide flats about the cement pillars is also progressing. The care which must be taken not to displace or damage theso bases calls for special work in tho filling. False woodwork Is put In place to allow the dump curs to be taken directly over the pillars and dumping Is done all about the pillars simultaneously. This avoids any ex- on the contracts know that he has the i tra pressure in one direction, :il- happy faculty of living up to his plans. This was shown In connection with the tunnel near Mile 44, when he completed the hole through the rock within the time expected, in spite of the many drawbacks he had to suffer. Mr. McDougall Is handicapped a little just now owing to the fact that he has not as many dump cars as he could make use of in the work. This will be overcome shortly, however. At present he has one steam shovel working at night and the other in the day-time. The past few weeks has seen a vast amount of work done In connection with the foundation work. Tho heavy concrete piles that are to carry the Immense structures In the yards are though It calls for a lot of extra work on the pari of the contractor. The cement culvert which Is to carry the waters of Hays Creek under the fill Is practically finished. This great waterway is twelve feet in height on the Inside, with a width of ten feet, so that there will be no danger as to the capacity of it to take care of all the water that passes through it. This culvert, put in by the Stlrrat Company, was carried out without much trouble and completed quickly, taking advantage of the tides. Preparations are now under way for the cement pillars that are to be constructed at the end of the pier which is to carry the great crane used to raise heavy material from now practically all in place with the j vessels or to lower It into the holds Work in the construction line is now | being centred about the shipbuilding platform and the foundations for the shed that is to be erected there. These foundations have to be exceptionally well built in order to carry the tremendous weight that will be put upon them. So well advanced Is the work now that it will be but a short time until the facilities exist for the landing ... , material at the wharves for the gieai j buildings. The contract for these has > been let and in a short time the steel Will be arriving to pntpr Into the structures, From that time on the showing thai will be made will be very much more marked.

Before the docks In the south are well commenced, Prince Rupert will have a complete drydock and shipbuilding plant that will rival anything now located on tho Pacific. Constructed as It Is to be, the opportunity exists for extensions to the dock from time to. time that will maintain Its lead among the facilities of the coast. The works are an evidence of far-seeing on the part of the railway company In Its efforts to make Prince Rupert the first port on the Pacific. kets of red rouses which were given to the dancers. Later Mrs. Angus Stewart distributed toys which would have stocked an emporium for Santa Claus, and Mrs. Durant bore fairy wands. A magnificent supper was served In the dining-room throughout the evening. At one stage of the eveniug a spontaneous burst of enthusiasm prompted the guests to sing the Marseillaise. The well-known air was ' caught up by first one, then another, and even if some of the words were missing the heartiness of the sound made up for it. Never, since young de Lisle composed the hymn in 1792, was it sung with more good-will. A very memorable evening came to a happy conclusion with a final "valtz" mid the guests departed feeling that Prince Rupert has gained a charming hostess and a lino type of citizen. o • Outing .May -I.

After patient endurance for several months the majority of the members of the Canadian House of Commons have refused to be any longer gagged by the minority. They have asserted their right to announce by vote their approval of the Government Navy Bill, says the News-Advertiser. The power to make this declaration has been heretofore withheld from the majority by the assumed authority of the minority, which has claimed the privilege of talking all day and all night all the year round, and so gagging the remainder of the Parliament. It is a rather curious thing that this tyrannical group of members, which had determined to monopolize in this way the whole power of Parliament, are now bitterly complaining that they have not been allowed to gag the majority as long as Parliament should be in session. Sir Wilfrid Laurier and his former minister of public works are actually cherishing a grievance against the duly constituted majority of Parliament because the latter refused to remain any longer in dumb and helpless subjection, and insisted on recording their opinions on a great public question. It is a singular grievance. The assurance of the most arbitrary member of the old family compact party was far less arrogant. But in spite of the claim of an arbitrary and irresponsible clique to the right to dominate the policy of the country which recently ordered them out of office, the people at large will commend those Conservatives who have refused to wear the Liberal gag more than six months. BREAKS WITH THEOLOGIANS REV. PROF. JACKSON, OF TORONTO, DOES NOT ACCEPT GENESIS AS HISTORICALLY CORRECT. He Discounts the Present Beliefs and Would Not Attach Too Much Importance to the First Chapters. Rev. Prof. George Jackson, of Victoria University, Toronto, who is to leave Toronto on May 24 to assume his new duties at Didsbury College, .Manchester, England, gave two notable addresses recently. In the morning he preached the Victoria bacclaureate sermon at Convocation Hall,.-taking for the theme the old and orthodox text, "The Just Shall Live by Faith." In the afternoon he addressed the Men's Bible Class at Sherbourne Street Methodist Church In the role of the higher critic, and provoked the wonder, and GET A HONE —IN THE— NAAS VALLEY If you send a wire to Alyansh we will have a boat to meet you at Port Nelson any day in the week.

Myers & Diinlnp, Alyansh, B.C. jelO at times the indignation, of his audience. In his address Prof. Jackson referred to the first eleven cnapters ot Genesis as "antiquarian lumber," and added, "Why not throw them out?" One of the audience jumped up and remarked rather warmly: "If you were born again you'd believe the Bible from lid to lid." Discussion followed the address of the Professor and many there were who disagreed with the views of the noted divine. Here are some of the things Dr, Jackson said during the course of his fifty-minute address: "The first eleven chapters of Genesis are antiquarian lumber. Why not throw them out?" "As Abraham Lincoln said: 'You can fool all the people some of the time and some of the people all the time, but you can't fool all the people all the time.' " "We know nothing of the first man or of the origin of man." "The first eleven chapters of Genesis have no scientific value. They have moral and spiritual worth." "Sacred writers twisted, varnished and embellished old stories until poor earthly raiments became white and glistened, just as Shakespeare took the hemp of an old Italian yarn and with magic fingers weaved it into a cloth of gold." "These narratives (the firBt eleven chapters of Genesis) weren't written until milleniums had passed, and as there is no contemporary evidence of their authenticity, I cannot accept them as true." "The first eleven chapters of Genesis are legendary." "The creation and the flood narratives are reproductions of Jewish traditions." "One chapter says Methusaleh lived to be nine hundred and sixty- nine years old. Am I to believe that? Historical statements can only be accepted when there is historical evidence of their veracity." "I do think Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and Joseph were real men, but I refuse to believe that they did and said precisely what the Bible says they did and said, though I have no doubt of the substantial accuracy of the narratives. "Hundreds of years elapsed after the time these men were on earth and the time the story of their doings was written. It is absolutely impossible to have accuracy in that event." "Between Abraham, who lived in 2000 B.C., and our earliest records of Abraham, there was a period two hundred years longer than the period which separates us from the time of William the Conqueror. In the face of that, can we call Genesis history?" "The history of the Jews is full of uncertainties. We're completely in dark concerning them. "I don't want to disturb anybody. The man I want to talk to is the man who Is disturbed already." "Whether we're orthodox or heretodox matters little. It is what we are to Jesus and He to us that determines our standing in the Christian Church." Before proceeding with his address, Prof. Jackson said: "If what I say hurts you, take your hats and quietly withdraw; I shall not be offended." Everybody stayed till the Benediction. At the conclusion of his address, the Professor said he hoped no man would respect the first eleven chapters of Genesis less because of anything he had said. Replying to a question, many of which were raised by the audience, Rev. Mr. Jackson said there was no hint of a Trinity In the word "us" which appears in Genesis. The doctrine of a Trinity was essentially a LUMBER I Coal, Cement, Plaster and Brick AND A COMPLETE LINE OF BUILDERS' SUPPLIES | WESTHOLME LUMBER CO., LTD.

BRYAN AND THE PRESIDENT THE FORMER LEADER OF THE DEMOCRATS IN THE POST HE OCCUPIES AT WASH- INGTON. The Question Is liaised As to Whether President Wilson Will Dominate in Letters of State. Under the traditions of our politics the secretary of state is the premier post in the cabinet, yet Its importance is curiously dependent upon the disposition of the president. A- brilliant secretary In the service of an easygoing president has a great office, but under a president with the disposition to have a personal hand In foreign affairs It may be made almost a nullity, writes the Washington correspondent of the San Francisco Argonaut. It is a less independent post than any other in the cabinet,, because the work of the state department relates directly to matters with which the president, if he be active-minded, will surely have a personal interest Now it is in his correspondence with foreign governments that a secretary of state may shine. All the great secretaries, including Webster and Blain, where they achieved fame in office, won it through their diplomatic letters. Will Mr. Wilson allow Mr. Bryan to conduct the more deliberate and serious correspondence of the department of state? I question it. Mr. Bryan Is a florid, turgid, inexact writer. He has a style founded on an Omaha journalistic experience and developed under the dubious discipline of campaign oratory. On the other hand, Mr. Wilson is a writer of exact and polished English. Whatever else may be said of him, his literary art is the sort of work which falls to the state department well nigh perfect. Now when Mr. Bryan irepares a thunderbolt In the form of a diplomatic letter In his best Nebraska manner, Mr. Wilson will turn sick at the stomach, and if I judge bis character rightly, he will sharpen a critical blue pencil. I venture the prediction that when it comes to important matters of international concern Mr. Wilson will be his own secretary of state. Just as with his own typewriter he worked out the letter to the Spanish- American republics last week, he will "do" the really serious letter- writing in relation to foreign affairs during his term In the presidency. It Is Impossible that a man of his precise taste and powers of expression should be satisfied with such letters as Mr. Bryan will write. And a few experiences of the blue pencil will surely make Mr. Bryan restive. There is no form of vanity quite so sensitive to affront as that of the man pleased with his own literary performances. And there is no writer half so well pleased with himself as the man who combines a florid taste with loose habits of expression. Mr. Woodland, representing the Imperial Oil Company, is in the city.

Department of Public Works, Victoria, B.C., April 10, 1913. al7 Already in Prince Rupert a small committee of railway men have been at work endeavoring to persuade the railway men's branch of the Y.M.C.A. to become interested in our city. The time is coming when large numbers of railway men will be congregated here, and no effort will be spared to induce the Grand Trunk Pacific officials to include in their plans a spot for a railroad Y.M.C.A. The following account of the last annual International convention of Y.M.C.A. men held In Chicago testifies to the good work it is achieving: Sixteen hundred men—brakemen, firemen, high officials, conductors, train despatchers—gathered in the most informal fellowship to confer concerning the interests of their religious-social organization. On Sunday they marched In a body to church behind a band playing "Onward, Christian Soldiers." Eight railroad presidents and twelve vice- presidents attended the opening banquet, and President Sidley expressed his doubt whether there was In existence anywhere a platform on which employer and employee met with such mutual esteem and profit. President Stevens of the Chesapeake & Ohio announced that every division point and terminal on his line was provided with a Railroad Y.M.C.A. building; that these had cost the road $200,- 000 and were maintained at an annual expense of $10,000. Another speaker quoted the late president of the Pennsylvania, George B. Roberts, as saying at the last meeting of directors which he attended: "When we made our first appropriation for the Railroad Association we were ashamed to let it be known and put the item under the head 'Repairs.' But I want to say that no stockholders' money that we have spent, not even for steel rails, has been more necessary and useful." There was a good telegram from that great friend of young men, Mr| James Stokes, to those present. He paid a tribute to Mr. Cornelius Van- derbilt, who first foresaw the opportunities of the wont and pushed the organization around the world as far as India. "I prefer to travel," said Mr. Van- derbilt once, "In a train driven by an engineer with a Bible in his pocket." And Mr. Stokes added thereto: "The man at the throttle, looking out at the darkness and facing death at any moment, needs a short, quick creed, 'The blood of Jesus Christ cleanses us from all sin.' That was the creed on which George Williams founded our Association, and if we give it up the Association might as well be given up." There are 1,700,000 men employed in American railway transportation, and ro better method for providing for their religious needs could be devised than that of the railway Y.M. C.A. At Chicago appeals came for extension of these privileges to the 600,- 000 men on electric lines, the 50,- 000 in construction camps, and the railroaders of the new lines in China. These and other requests will not remain unheeded. o E. J.

GOOD YEAR IS THE OUTLOOK THE FINANCIAL POST SAYS THAT EV ERYTHING POINTS TO NORMAL CONDITIONS IN THE WEST. The Prospects, Says the Paper, Are Most Gratifying All Round— Tbe Crops Promise to Be Excellent. A good normal year's business Is Ihe summary of The Financial Post In a recent article on the business ontlook. It would appear to The Post that ivith the turn of the tide in respect to money conditions business generally during the next few months ought to be normal in volume. There does not appear to be any serious apprehension on the part of manufacturers as to the immediate outlook. Most of .them have orders ahead. To this rule, of course, there are one or two exceptions, as will always be the case; but, speaking generally, adds the journal, there is no reason to anticipate otherwise than that business will continue in the same volume as during 1912. During the past few years manufacturers and wholesale houses have looked for a very substantial increase every year, but so far during the first three months of the current year there is not the promise of the same increase as that taking place in the years preceding the present year. The fact that the volume of last year's business was exceptional ought to be clearly kept in mind, and that if the same volume can be maintained this year it will rank as a good year. The monetary situation, continues The Post, does not now present any difficulties in the way of business continuing satisfactorily as at the present time. Reports from the Canadian West are to the effect that seeding is proceeding, and that the weather is normal. In the south and western districts of Saskatchewan seeding last year commenced about March 28, and in the northern districts by April 5. This year the commencement was a little later. It is generally conceded that the best seeding time for wheat is in the latter part of April and the first week in May. From the facts which during the week have come to the knowledge of The Post it is evident that the expenditure i lanned for new buildings in Canada will be less in the current year than in 1912. This does not mean that the extent of actual building will be less, but that projects for new structures, the material for which has not been specified or or1 dered, will be less in number. At the present time steel structural plants are busy, and have orders ahead that will keep them busy for some time. This condition is general, but it is due to their having to supply material for buildings planned and financed during the course of last year. It would be impossible to go ahead with the building of new factory plants without the necessary capital, which is not easy to get with money conditions as they are at the present time. The explanation Is that United States capital is coining to Canada. Many of the United States firms are quite familiar with ups and downs, and the "downs" which are being experienced at the present time by those affected by tight money are not feared by them. They are offering money and investing it themselves freely at the present time. Latest reports from the West indicate a buoyant feeling, and the steady business community welcomes the diminution of speculation. Given a normal crop and a normal volume of immigration, concludes The Post, both of which are likely to eventuate, there appears to be no reason to anticipate other than that business during the present year will be normal, so far as can be judged from conditions as they exist at the present time. o SPORTS DERBY FAVORITE. Craganour, Mr. Bower Ismay's bay colt, favorite for ihe Derby, to be decided at Epsom the first week In June, which has received marked support In ante-post betting the past few months, is likely to go out in price, and it is possible that he will be displaced from the top line in the quotations as a result of his failure to capture the Union Jack stakes at Liverpool recently, which race was won by Flippant. From information received it is understood that while Craganour has wintered well, he has not developed to the extent anticipated. Flippant, which belongs to Mr. E. Hulton, clearly showed the way In the Union Jack Stakes, and despite Craganour's challenge, won by a length. Too much notice should not, however, be paid to this failure of the Derby favorite. In past years it has happened that colts behind in the early spring have shown woffderful advance as the day for the blue ribbon event of the turf approached. A striking case in point concerns the victory of Spearmint in 1906, who was woefully behind earlier in the year. Craganour and Flippant will meet in the Derby and St. Leger, and it will be seen whether the former "comes on" or whether the latter Is a much better colt than he has been given credit for so far. Third in the Liverpool race was Cock of the Rock, belonging to Mr. Hall Walker. This colt will have to improve immensely to figure in the money in the great event for he was beaten by Craganour by four lengths. The result of the race will probably mean that Shogun will be installed favorite for the Epsom event. Still, if one can take Craganour's two- year-old form as an indication, he may "come back." It is regrettable that so many of Desmond's stock appearing to prove the best classic performers of their years, have fallen down at the critical period. Will Craganour brush aside the fatality which has usually attached to Desmond's progeny? o IN THE SI PRIME COURT OF BRITISH COLUMBIA.

Now that Prince Rupert is to have one of the largest floating docks in the world, some notes about the Gladstone dock at Liverpool, which Is the largest graving dock in existence, will be of interest. The capacity is about 50 million gallons, and the cost was about £500,000, or about that of the proposed dock here. Work began at Seaforth in September, 1910, and after the necessary bank had been erected to keep the water out, in January, 1911, the work of excavation was begun on the shore proper. A commodious dock over 1000 feet in length has been constructed, lined with half.a million tons of concrete, with granite coping. ■ The' striking feature lies in the fact that the new receptacle may be used not only as a graving dock, but as a wet dock, and that achievement is an interesting one. The ordinary graving dock is constructed in quite a different way from the wet dock. The sides slope and are" provided with steps to facilitate the shoring of the vessel. The Gladstone dock" is planned differently; it is so constructed that the giant vessel can either discharge cargo, as in the ordinary wet dock, or be repaired when the water has been run off. Exceptional circumstances necessitated tho experiment, the plans for which, prepared by A. G. Lyster, were carried out by W. 11. Jones. Dock gates were found to be impracticable. Two sets would have had to be fixed, and to obviate this it was decided to provide a sliding caisson. The caisson, when ot In use, Is kept in a chamber that runs ofr the dock, and Is operated with ease. In another chambc/ the pumping **kkk*kk*kk**kk****** machinery is installed. A commodious place, very like a small dock, it will be fitted with five Diesel engines, each of a thousand horse-power. The employment of oil engines is an innovation, for all the other pumping machinery on the dock estate is dependent on steam. It is the only dock in the world capable of accommodating the new Cunarder, the Aqultania, which was launched recently. There are liners of more than 30 000 tons which, although they are calling forth all this big expenditure on dock accommodation, are paying less In dues than cargo ships of only 10,000 tons, for which no additional accommodation is necessary. This has always irritated dock authorities, and may easily sway their policy when fresh calls are made for new docks. The British Merchant Shipping Act of 1907 contains provisions, however, which, when they become operative on January 1, 1914, will alter the position somewhat by authorizing the payment of dues on a different basis. South of the Gladstone docks a start has been made on the vestibule or half-tide dock. This dock has a river lock entrance 870 feet long and 130 feet wide, and access will also be provided to the Hornby dock, which is alongside. Out of the half-tide dock, two branch docks will run, and amongst the double-storey sheds to be provided will be one about 1465 feet in length. To the northward of Gladstone dock still further accommodation is promised in the future, so that the development of Liverpool's docks is not likely to cease for many years to come. TOOK FISH SOUTH. The Venture sailed yesterday morning for the south with mixed cargo. Among her freight was a consignment of fifty tons of halibut from the Atlin Fisheries. CELTIC BROUGHT COAL.
