It la Now Travelling From Point to Point on the Continent to End inj L'P at Exposition. On an extensive tour planned to last until the Panama-Pacific Exposition opens at San Francisco in 1915, an old hat is travelling among the agencies of the Dominion Express Company. First sent from Waco,'Texas, at the beginning of the year, it has already crossed and recrossed the continent on the American side, commencing a further transcontinental journey from St. John. N.B., by an All-Canadian route. At least as far as Prince Rupert it will travel through Canadian Express companies and where it will go then, is for the companies to decide. Obviously old when the journey commenced, the hat is now in a very dilapidated condition. So many tags have been stuck on it that the original shape is hardly visible. Tags hang inside and out, from crown, rim and brim. Oue hundred and four in all. All sorts of warning notices have been added, such as "Fragile," "Do Not Open Before Christmas." "Do Not Shake Contents," and others of the same sort. Practical jokers have philosophized in many met red verse on the tags, some of which to us certainly will not pass the censors when the vagabond head-piece reaches Snn Francisco. Altogether, it is a unique sort ot hat now, and is likely to be more so t«fore its journey is ended next year. —;—, o —■— itapiiM Services.

MADE RAID LAST NIGHT. Early this mfcrning the city police made a raid of the Two Star Boarding House on Fraser Street. As a result a force of thirty-seven charged with gambling or being in a gambling place were marched to the Police Station under Officers Shiel, Adams, Carroll and Grady. Charges will be laid Monday morning against Thlo Anamte and John Borezeos, the proprietors of the place, with keeping a gambling house. The others are charged with playing or being in a gambling place. A large collection of cards was brought in. Five tables were found with players at them. The raid was made about 1 o'clock in the morning. A number were bailed out before morning. Will Be Given His Passport Whether President Huerta plans to give a passport to Nelson O'Shaughnessy, American charge d'affaires at Mexico City, does not greatly worry the American diplomat. The photograph shows Nelson O'Shaughnessy engaged in a little game of golf on the links in the Mexican capital. It is said Huerta has concluded to "allow" O'Shaughnessy to leave Mexico if the United States lifts the embargo on the shipment of arms and ammunition to the rebels. BRITISH FEELING IS RUNNING HIGH While Goodwill Expressed Towards President Wilson It Is Thought In London That His Policy Towards Mexican Situation Is a Mistake- American Colony Think the Same REAL ESTATE IS FIRM IN THE CITY Increased Demand Indicates That There Is Utmost Faith In Outlook Here-Good Sale Made on McBride Street Which Is Held By Investors As Gilt Edge Business Property There is a decided feeling of optimism with regard to this city. Visitors who have been south return wiih the assurance that tTTere are many inquiries about Prince Rupert and a demand for information relative to the city and ils opportunities. Real estate in the place, which has throughout the entire stringency kept its value well sustained, Is again coming into demand in a more marked way than for some months past. An evidence of this was afforded yesterday when Mr. Lee Baker of Weatenhaver Bros, put through a H. F. McRae and Williams & Man- son two years ago. The price realized is a decided advance on the sum then paid. The purchaser is an eastern client who has been over the ground and has studied the situation in Prince Rupert. He was convinced that McBride Street was one of the best buys in the city, describing that street as "the neck of the bottle." lie has purchased these lots as au Investment and is well pleased with his purchase. In other parts of the city there have been purchases made recently deal whereby two lots on McBride'and there have also been many in- Street, Lots 63 and 64, Block 34, Section 1, were sold for $36,500. These lots, which were formerly held by P. I. Palmer, are situated just- west of the lots that were graded there. They were bought by quiries of tbe local dealers. Everything points to a busy year in Prince Rupert in every line of trade and industry which will haie a most marked effect upon the real estate 'values here. Anniversary Services.

"A GOOD INVESTMENT IS WORTH A LIFETIME OF LABOR." ing of British good-will toward President Wilson and a desire not to hamper him in his policy with regard to Mexico in any way, prevents an outburst of a serious nature over tne murder of W. S. Benton. All the best informed British authorities agree that President Wilson's Mexican policy is a mistake and prevents a peaceful settlement of the troubles there. It is ruinous commercially. The British Foreign Office has strained its diplomatic courtesy to the utmost in refraining from a pro- I terests there. Benton's English friends are powerful. The murder tends to a criticism of the president's policy, and the opinion is held that President Wilson should reconsider his policy towards Mexico. The American community in London are of the same opinion as the Englishmen on this matter. "We believe President Wilson made a mistake as regards Mexico, but. right or wrong, we must support our president in foreign affairs," is the typical expression of their attitude towards that policy.

Already the Toronto Globe points out there is a lively demand for municipal bond issues, and good prices are In siglil' for cities with their credit well established. In this connection the Toronto paper says: "There is no longer any danger that bonds will remain unsold. One of the most careful financial experts of Toronto assures the Globe that the problem i., no longer one of how to place good civic bonds, bul of where to get them. This sudden change in conditions docs not justify plunging. The bond buyers expect that the activities ol Canadian municipalities will be limited to necessary works for immediate use, and there are plenty of such works awaiting the advent of favorable conditions.

Tiie Altering of the Poller to West Is to He More Evident. Tim Redistribution Bill which Premier Borden introduced In Parliament last week, the fifth since Confederation, 1867, is an important And far-reaching measure. A consideration of the changes made in Canada's representation by this bill gives one an interesting sidelight upon the nature of Canada's growl h. When the first. Parliament of Canada met in 1867, Ontario had 82 members, Nova Scotia 19, and New Brunswick 15. Other provinces came in later. Manitoba's original representation was 4 members, British Columbia s 6, Prince Edward Island 8, v.hile Alberta and Saskatchewan were included with what Is now the Northwest Territories, under that name, with 1 members. Ontario secured her greatest representation by the Redistribution bill of 1802-3, which gave her 92 members iii Ottawa, Nova acotla hud then 20, Now Brunswick it. und Pi nee Edward Island .".. At this liuic Eastern Canada had attained the zenith iii ns power Iu Parliament. Prom then on, the policy of securing s vai i liumlgrai Ion ivai to populate the Wei tern porl Ion ol the Dominion al a pace faster than the k.-i could stand. In succeeding redistribution bills one finds Ontario, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island lulling behind. Today by the bill just introduced by Mr. Borden, Ontario returns to 82 members, which was her representation in Parliament In 1867. The contrast between East and West in the matter Of growth of population is shown by comparing the figures for Nova Scotia, on the Atlantic, an original member of Confederation, and Manitoba, which was one of the first Western provinces to Join. Manitoba came Into the union during the fourth session of tiie first Parliament of Canada, and was given four members. Af that time, Nova Scotia reached her greatest representation to date, with 21 members, while -Manitoba had her original 1. By the Representation Act of 1S02-3, Nova Scotia dropped one member and Manitoba gained three. Ten years later, Nova Scotia had dropped two more members, making her total IS., while Manitoba had gained three more, making her total 10. By the Redistribution Bill now before Parliament. N'ova Scotia loses two more, making her total 16, while Manitoba gains 6, leaving her just one behind her Easlern rival. Saskatchewan entered Confederation in 1905 with ten members, when Nova Scotia had 18. By the present Redistribution Bill, Saskatchewan catches Nova Scotia in the race, gaining six where the Atlantic Toast province loses two. Taking four Eastern and Western provinces we find according to comparison of the Redistribution of 1003 and of 1014 that in ten years Ontario, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island — counting the latter with four mem- I bers, although a reduction of this Iciiiit members, while Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and British 'Columbia hare gained twenty-two. The change in the character, or mature of Parliament as a resull of th" new Redistribution Kill should 'be marked. The mosl obvious and natural i hange is a more radical at- tltude as a resuli of the Infusion of -I'litinietii iu contrast with the traditional conservative outlook of the East. Thai there shall be In fti- I ture, however, a larger outlet for I Western opinion in Parliament is a good thing for the country ou the : whole, ii means that the Canadian people will be In a better position to settle down solidly Into an intelligent appreciation of their national heritage and East and West may teni|ier their ideas of sectional ! rights by a better reminder of the I proportion of sectional claims.

Some of those who are of executive authority iu the Canadian transcontinental railroads have recently- been in New York and have spoken with apparent sincerity aud with something of courage of conditions which prevail, as they say, in Western Canada and in the vicinity of Puget Sound, says a correspondent of the Montreal Mail in New York. They have been iiersuaded to make these statements because they are confident that the opening of the Panama Canal to navigation is to be of great commercial benefit to Western Canada. The stimulus which the canal will give to a certain trade furnished by Western Canada will produce results that will go far toward offsetting the somewhat tic- pressing conditions tliar, now exist in that portion of the Doiuinlou. it was a very high authority of the Canadian Pacific Railroad who stated a day or two ago thai there is no i|iiesiiiin about the depressing conditions Unit prevail in pans of the Dominion and especially ihe vicinity nt Pugel sound. Vancouver has felt this perhaps more than an) of tho oilier communities in that region. Bul, according to this authority, the condition is no more than a reaction from excessive speculation in land. The people who live in those parts and who were inspired by enthusiasm as they forecast their future began land speculations wholly in good faith, believing that the great emigration from the United States to Canada would continue in volume and that the completion of tne Grand Trunk Pacific Railway to the Pacific Coast would greatly stimulate emigration from this country, and thereby Canadian development. But these people made the mistake of discounting the future too rapidly. Their presenl condition will find abundant precedent in the land speculations which occur m many parts of the remote west. A few years of rest, of awaiting normal development, will bring about a new and healthy reaction and it is for this reason that the experienced railway managers of Canada do not regard with any great apprehension the depression which they now frankly admit does prevail. They are inclined to think, however, with the opening of the Panama Canal to navigation, preceded as this event is by the enactment of the new tariff law, there will speedily be created an enormous commerce from the Puget Sound region, from Vancouver and from western parts of the Dominion which will be carried through the canai to the markets of the eastern and central parts of the United btates. There are some American citizens who are the owners of great tracts of timber lands in Western Canada. The new- tariff law which permits lumber to be exported without duty and the uew opening of the Panama Canal to navigation will, in the opinion, of these owners of timber lands and of the Canadian railroad officers, lead to a very great development of the limber industry in Western Canada and Iu Vancouver. Tills may mean a revolution In building operations In the eastern half of the United States. Competent authorities in New York say thai one of the reasons why iron, brick and concrete now supplant, timber to so great an extent In building construction is due to the fact that they are cheaper materials. Those who are interested in the timber lands of the Pugel Sound region even as far north as the Alaska boundaries are persuaded that the low cost for transportation of timber from these parts to the eastern coast of the United States by way of the Panama Canal and the fact that the timber or lumber will be marketed here free of duty will make it. possible to furnish effective competition with iron and brick and concrete for building construction in the eastern half of the United States. The timber supplies in that region are enormous and climatic conditions are such as to make it possible to cut cheaply and put into marketable condition the timber which grows there. COUNTRY THAT BORDERS GXP WELL-KNOWN IWK'i) GIVES IMPRESSIONS OF TERRITORY ALONG MM-:. A Great Milling Area Exist.*—Will Be Opened l'p Almost , At Once. VV. P. Hinton. general passenger agent of the Grand Trunk Pacific; A. E. Rosevear, general freight agent; S. T. St. John, manager of the Transcontinental Townsite Company, and George Hartford, of the Inter-Ocean, Chicago, recently returned from Prince George and Willow River, B.C. Mr. St. .fohu and Mr. Hartford were looking over the country traversed by the new line, particularly Willow River, which townsite was sold by Mr. St. John's company last year. Willow River is a railway townsite at. the junction of three rivers, the Eraser, Willow and Sal- tnou, about twenty miles northwest of Prince George, and the centre of a district rich In natural resources. On the Willow River it is estimated there Is enough potential electric energy to supply several cities, while twelve miles away from the town are vast beds of coal of good qual- ity, also other minerals, tile district having been for years the centre of placer mining. On the Willow River alone there is 9,000,000,000 feet of timber, according to Government estimates, of size and quality equaled only by the giant trees of the coast. The whole district has splendid soil and climate. Willow River has already begun to feel the effects of such varied resources. All the lots in the centre of the townsite were sold to buyers all over Canada and the United States a few weeks after they were offered, and Mr. St. John had to buy- back from one purchaser and pay $100 profit recently in order to secure a suitable lot for his own office. Mr. Hartford, who has been with the Chicago Inter-Ocean for the past 17 years, is going to the Windy City to settle his affairs, and will come back early in the spring with two newspaper plants, one for Willow River and the other for Stuart River, another townsite which the company will soon put on the market. He says that Willow River has more resources and a location far better than any city of 100,000 population in the States. "There have been thousands of people," ne said, "in and around Chicago who have been waiting to-' come to Canada until the G.T.P. was finished to Central British Columbia. The crops you had in Canada last season and the weather this winter have obliterated what doubt existed in their minds, and you will see an unprecedented influx into the country this spring. The Transcontinental Townsite Company, the G.T.P. and others have done some effective advertising among the well-to-do people in the .Middle West. I beard so much about it that tbe paper sent me up here, but 1 am going to come up on my own hook iu a couple of weeks and settle in Willow River." Bruce O'Dell, of Cadillac, Michigan, a well-known lumberman, is also with the party, and is about to establish and operate at Willow Ri-.er for a Michigan concern, oue of the largest and most modern sawmills in the world, ft will cut 100,000 feet per ln-hour day, or 200,000 feet daily in two shifts. A. C. Frost, the man who built the Chicago & Milwaukee Interurban Electric rtallway, Is also putting In a large mill for some Vancouver capitalists, while T. E. Haley, o' Crosby, Minn., Is about to build a tine modern hotel, which it Is claimed will be the finest between Edmonton and the Coast. 'There will be a city a Willow River about next June," said Mr. St. John. "Tiie sawmill will itself employ about 3U0 men. It should be the largest lumbering centre in British Columbia, outside of Vancouver. They have the timber and three rivers to float it down. Mr. Haley is now arranging for the construction of his hotel." Asked as to what towns he thought would grow into large centres in Central British Columbia, Mr. St. John stated that there would be about half a dozen. Willow River, Prince George, Stuart River, Smithers and Prince Rupert, and possibly Fort Fraser, Fraser Lake and ilazelton. 'I Port Edward offers Ideal Industrial sites.
