OLD HAT IS ON
A LONG TOUR
IT
WILL ARRIVE HERE IN THE
COURSE OF TIME BV
EXPRESS.
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.

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.

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.

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.

Easier money is looming lip. The
passing of the war clouds and the
return of confidence
vestments are given by Hie financial
journals ns some of the signs of
the passing of the financial stringency, if this is so tlion municipalities will be encouraged to plan for
the carrying on of necessary civic
improvements. 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. They may be proceede'd
with confidently. The orders for
steel and cement and lumber and
other raw materials and supplies
will do much toward starting the
wheels of industry and preventing
a further drift toward curtailment
aud unemplo: mem in factory and
workshop."

Tiie Altering  of the  Poller  to West

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.

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
