The experience of railway lines to the south gives an Indication of the traffic that may be expected by the Grand Trunk Pacific when It is completed. Perhaps nothing that has been given out in an interview by a railway man for some time has greater promise for Prince Rupert and the Grand Trunk Pacific than what C. E. McPherson, of Winnipeg, assistant passenger traffic manager of the C.P.R., stated a few days ago in Vancouver. He told of the immense development, of business in British Columbia, which called for ever-increasing services on the line in the way of additional trains and new and larger hotels. This tells a story that should make residents here satisfied with their lot. It means that with the completion of the Grand Trunk Pacific trade that is now waiting will flow this way In such a manner as to tax the ability of the lirahd Trunk Pacific Company to take care of it. Mr. McPherson said: "In order to cope with the expected large tourist and immigration travel, we are putting on another train between Vancouver and Winnipeg. This will give us four dally trains, and Is the best indication of the rapidly increasing travel to the West. "Although last season was a record one from the point of tourist and immigrant traffic, there is not the least doubt but that this year's returns will show a big increase in both directions. The rush of immigration has started already, and according to advices from Winnipeg the figures for March will be the greatest for FLOOD DEATH LIST INCREASING It Is Now Reported That Fifteen Thousand Were Drowned In the State of Indiana-Flames Are Sweeping Dayton Following Devastation Wrought By Floods-President Wilson Has Issued An Appeal for Help for the Sufferers From the Disaster- Ohio Valley Is the Scene of the Most Terrible Flood In History of the Country Columbus, Ohio, March 26.—Following the news yesterday of high waters in the Ohio valley and reports of devastation wrought by tlieni comes the announcement that front Lake Erie to the Ohio river the state OIL FOR WARSHIPS.

This has been followed by almost every city and village in the state, with'a heavy death roll. The loss cannot be .totalled until the raging waters subside. The town of Miamiasburg with a population of four thousand has been swept away. Later estimates place tbe dead throughout the state at from 1475 to 2400. Loss Increasing. Indianapolis, March 26.—The dead from floods in the state is believed to be greater than at first estimated. It is said that fifteen thou sand lives were lost In this state.

SAVING THE TIMBER Sale Being Made of Standing That Have Been Killed By Fire. Trees Results of Tests Made as to the Due ability of Wood Taken from Such Trees. In the announcement which the Provincial Forest Branch is making regarding timber for sale along the Grand Trunk Pacific between Yel- lowhead Pass and Fort George, there appears an item of "5,000,000 feet of timber killed in 1912." The government is anxious In the interest of the country to have the timber taken out and used before decay and insects get a firm hold. As is well known, dead timber is not able to resist either of these enemies and It is only a matter of time before what was perfectly healthy eral party on the navy bill is retard- ; vaneo of the appropriation until it ing the public business of the noun- was seen that the appropriation iry. would be Inordinately delayed." He pointed to two undertakings The Liberals say, "You don't have for the improvement of the Fraser to go on with the navy bill.

There is not the slightest foundation for those stories. There is no more stalwart leader over whai he has undertaken than Mr. Borden, and there is not a waiverer in his entire following, not a single one. It is therefore unnecessary to say that tbe navy bill will not be dropped. "It is a mistake to suppose that the Liberals me making martyrs of themselves. I have seen the obstruction carried on with as few as three Liberals on the floor Of Ihe House." wood is filled with a network of insects' borings and fungus growths. Damages to the extent of over $5,- 000,000 annually are estimated to take place in Eastern Canada and the United States. These losses may not be paralleled in the West, but there is undoubtedly vast depreciation going on at all times and this will become more and more noticeable as time goes on and timber values increase. The rate of deterioration of fire- killed timber depends a great deal on the size of the timber and proportion of sapwood. Trees under three feet In diameter, if killed outright by a crown fire, are usually unmerchantable In eight or ten years; larger trees, with thin sapwood, may remain merchantable for fifteen or , twenty years. Logging tire-killed timber involves losses in many ways, particularly in ', bringing useless parts of the tree to the mill, anil In the danger of i breaking when the trees are being felled. There are difficulties in milling, in that the soft punky outside j layer of decayed logs lake up gravel, | which is bad for the saw.

The work on the Jetty at Steveston was divided into three sections: $100,000 was to be spent in the first year; $800,000 In the second year, and $600,000 in the third year. That, was the regular programme, and there was no suggestion that it would not be carried out. But you can see that the late Mr. Keefer thought that $800,000 split into ice and humiliation for any government to drop that bill after Introducing it last December and to take up other general business; to let this "free will" offering stand over to the end of routine business. I think the public will appreciate iliat.

It is altogether likely, therefore, that the line will be built by the government and with the opening up of that part of the country and the completion of the Grand Trunk Pacific there will be the opportun- % Ity afforded for the building up of trade between the Peace River J territory and this city, * ■IHr*********lHk**lHr************************************ INCREASED SALARIES.

NO FEAR THIS YEAR FROM THE INDIANS The Apprehension Expressed By Rev. Dr. Chown Have No Foundation In Fact-Northern Tribes Are Exceptionally Quiet -Religious Wave Sweeping Through Naas Tribes. There is no fear of any trouble among the Indians of the north this season as expresseed by Dr. Chown, according Io a despatch received from Vancouver by The Journal. As a matter of fact, the Indians were never more quiet than ihey are at the present time. This is matter of general knowledge and is borne out by Dominion Government Coustable Phllllpson, who has returned from a trip among the dlfferenl tribes in this northern district and wim reports thai he never found the conditions better among the natives than they are at this time. Only a few days ago he was In Klncolitli and while there he attended a great religious gathering of Hie Naas Indians from all points along that valley. The Naas Indians are known to have been belligerent ones in the north. The meeting that was held at Klncolitli revealed a wonderful change In these tribes. The meeting was heeld at the Instigation of the Indians themselves and there were probably well on for 400 present, says Officer Phllllpson. In addition to the constable, there was present at the meeting that was held there the respected Anglican missionary, Archdeacon Collinson. There appeared to have been a good work going on among the tribesmen and they have decided Io live better lives than in the past Some of the most troublesome of the members of Hie tribes acknowledged that they bad been in the past notorious offenders in the matter of brewing and using the native liquor that has been such a productive source of trouble among the Naas Indians. They testified that they had kihui the error of the practice and had decided to live ; better lives. The actions of the Indians certainly showed thai there had been a general spiritual revival among ihem j and the effects wero shown In the I speeches that «<,. made and the j improved conduct ol ome of tbe j most troublesome of thi men. These men are noi now to anxious io make trouble with respect to the claims in Hie matter of the land question, They are nol bo ready now to follow the teachings of the agitators that have been at work among them iii the past but on the contrary they are prepared to abide by the decision uf the authorities in the matter and to accept what constituted authority is prepared to accord them in this matter. There is, therefore, no danger of any trouble at the present among these Indians and the danger of any subsequent trouble seems now Io be passed. \V, Kincade and Miss Klncade have returned to the city from a visit In the south. W, It Lord, who has charge of the cannery end of the Canadian Fish & Cold Storage Company's affairs, lias returned from a trip made to the south.

Thursday, March 27, 191i ON TOURIST ROUTE Prince Rupert will soon be on one of ihe main tourist routes of the world. This is to be the fact when the Grand Trunk Pacific is completed and the means provided by which the scenic beauties of this part of the province may be taken advantage of. Here in Prince Rupert, with a park existing on Kaien Island that will he second to none on the continent, with the greal glaciers and other coastal attractions within a shoii distance of the city there will be every inducement for visitors to upend a large part of the summer here. The Grand Trunk Pacific will have a hotel that will rival the best on the continent and the route along that Hue of railway will be an ever- The Panama Canal witVbe divided into three general divisions; the first the Atlantic division, being seven miles in extent, ending with the Gatun locks, where vessels will be elevated from sea level, 85 feet. The second division, known as the Central, will be thirty-two miles long, and will end with the Culebra Cut. In this section are situated the Gatun Lake and Gold Hill, through which the Culebra Cut was made. The third division, known as the Pacific, will be eleven miles long, and includes the Pedro Miguel lock, consisting of one lift, and the Mira- flores lock, consisting of two lifts. The locks of thee canal are practically at either end of the great artificial lake in the central division, known as Gatun Lake. To build these locks, which are six in number on the Pacific and six on the Atlantic side, in pairs cost $58,000,000. Vessels bound from the Atlantic to the Pacific will enter Limon Bay and steam seven miles to the Gatun locks. Here they will be elevated 85 feet by means of three lifts. The first and second locks will raise a vessel 27 1-2 feet, and the third will lift it 30 feet. The time consumed will be be about one and one-half hours. Then the vessel will steam through tlie Gatun Lake for 23 miles, at the end of which the famous Culebra cut will be entered, which is nine miles long and 300 feel wide. At the end of this cut is the Pedro Miguel lock, by means of which the vessel will be lowered 30 feet to the level of another artificial changing one, from mountain scenery unsurpassed to rich agricultural j body of water one and one-half miles valleys, and from great rivers to In-1 long, known as the Miraflore lockB, vitlng lakes. two in number, are reached. In each Speaking before the Progressive ! of these locks the vessel is again Club In Vancouver, W. N. Foster, I lowered 27 1-2 feet, after which she deputy minister of public works in the province, made reference to the great part that the Grand Trunk Pacific was to play in the tourist travel of the province. Mr. Foster knows will steam through a sea level channel seven miles long into the Pacific. The whole time occupied from sea level to sea level will be ten hours. The great. Gatun Lake and the what he is talking about, for he is a smaller Miraflores Lake are formed mountain climber of some note himself. He said: "But two additional factors are required before British Columbia attains first, plare as a tourist resort —transportation and publicity. The objection of initial distance has been overcome, the British flock to Switzerland not so much on account of its proximity, but because it is known to them; the mountains of British Columbia are on a vaster and grander scale—-but at present their grandeur is a closed chapter to the ordinary tourist.. "The Canadian Pacific Railway Company lia.s done magnificent work, in fact, all the advertising so far undertaken of our mountain resorts lias been through their good efforts, whilst when tho Grand Trunk Pacific is complete—a wonderful trip will be available through the Rockies and Selkirks by Canadian Pacific, then up the coast, and returning through the mountain stretches of the northern interior passing through the new Robson park; but the great need Is tor connecting roads and trails to open up the beauties hidden In vast arean at present impossible to penetrate except at great inconvenience and expense.' by damming the Chagres and other rivers. Strange as it may seem to the layman, the Panama Canal is not being built at the narrowest point of the isthmus. That would have been at the Gulf of San Bias, where the Atlantic and Pacific would only' have been separate from each other a distance of thirty miles, while at Colon the distance Is 4 7 miles. San Bias was Impracticable, however, because of a 700-foot mountain barrier and the absence of rivers, which would, have made a sea-level canal necessary, entailing a staggering amount of excavation. .1.

A Parisian Novelty—In Europe it is used this year as a little Easter present or rather a mark of courtesy to friends and relatives. Its value as a token lies more in the novel idea than in the price of tho article. It is arranged so that it can be sent Just like a postcard for a cent or two, to any place in Canada or the United States. The endearing idea about it is the embedded LUMINOUS CROSS, which will shine all night long (or in any dark room) in a GLORIOUS, MYSTIC BLUE LIGHT, after you had it exposed to daylight for a few minutes. The price is so low that anyone is enabled to be convinced of its real nrture. It is indeed an article which is held In high esteem by any Christian family or person. The shining Cross Is made of stone, which is found only near Jerusalem and of which already the Bible speaks as the LUMINOUS STONE in picturing Solomon's Temple. Prices are: 15 cents each, 2 for 25 cents, 5 for 5,0 cents and 12 for $1.00. A.

Fish Sees Distorted Image of All That Appears Above the Water. Fish never die—or hardly ever, was one of the interesting things said by Dr. Francis Ward in a lecture, "With a Camera Under the Water," delivered to a distinguished audience the other night in the sympathetic atmosphere of the Fishmongers' Hall, London. And he ex- p'ained why it is that so few fish die peacefully in their beds, so to speak, and why we. so seldom see dead fish floating about. As the roach or dace sickens it loses its powers of equilibrium and begins to turn over. In turning it causes a flash of bright light, as the light under surface turns upwards. A pike or some other predatory fish is attracted by the flash, and the ailing fish disappears to a swifter doom. Tho fish below sees but very distorted Images of the fisherman above. Of a heron, for instance, the fish sees only two logs which look like weeds. Things are all round much more difficult for the fish than we Imagine. The things they see from their watery habitant hear no relalion to the things as we know them above the water line. All the rules and laws of optics go to delude the fish and make him fall an easy prey to the lesser black-backed gu'l or salmon fisher casting his fly or whatever the danger may be. And tt is well to know that the fisherman wko sits In front of a wall or a hedge cannot be seen at a", ftis reflection is absorbed in that of the object in front of which he is stationed, and so to the fish danger lurks quite unsuspeected. The lecturer laid stress on his belief that it is the flash of light on bait which attracts the fish, whether It is the flash on a turning salmon fly or on a smaller fish falling a prey to a larger fish, or to a bird, otter, or seal. A salmon often rises at the flash of an artificial fly In a moment of irritation and not necessarily because he is hungry. TAKE NOTICE that Chas.

(Continued From Page One) Indicate that the wood of fire-killed Douglas fir, after a considerable number of years, is slightly weaker than that cut from green timber. The difference, however, is not great, and in structural sizes containing the defects ordinarily found in timber, very largely disappears. In tests which have been conducted bridge stringers of fire-killed wood proved to be somewhat less strong than the green stringers with which they were compared; while the floor joists (of both kinds of wood) were about equal in strength. In stiffness, the fire-killed wood was fully equal to the green wood for all sizes tested. In general, tests indicate that the sound wood from fire-killed Douglas fir of the Pacific Coast may safely be used for general construction purposes and that its merits are nearly if not quite equal to those of material from green, growing trees. It should be emphasized, however, that these results apply only to sound wood. Pieces showing indications of decay, whether cut. from green or from dead trees, should he rigidly excluded where strength or durability is important. fifteen-fold in the last half century— or even a slightly increased use per capita, along with enormous increase in the use of other structural materials, but there is no excuse for the waste which we allow to occur annually making us poorer in the present, and crippling the prosperity of generations yet to come." QUITS WASHINGTON. Uncle Joe Starts for Danville, 111., Af. tcr Forty Fears of Public Service. IMMENSE TRAFFIC. (Continued From Page One) British. Columbia. The potentialities of this province are becoming better known in the .Mother Country, and thousands of British farmers who do not care for life on the prairies will find here the diversity of scenery and agricultural effort which they prefer. We handled a record number of British immigrants last season and many of them came through to this province." What has been true of the C.P.R. in the south may be reasonably expected to bo repeated in the next year or two In the north to the territory to be served by the Grand Trunk Pacific. There is nothing to prevent it. The country is becoming famed as scond to none and all that now holds back settlement is the lack of through transportation, which must come In a few months. TIMBER, CEMENT AND STEEL. Greater Vhc of Concrete in Canada Has Not Lowered Demand for Timber. Canada shares in the remarkable increase in the use of all building materials which has been one of the chief characteristics of the past quarter century. According to the Commercial Review whereas in 1899 wo had imports of cement of 93,483 barrels—less than one-fiftieth barrel per capita; and of all classes of steel (he consumption was 101,470 tons, a trifle over one-fiftieth ton per capita; the wood consumption was something over 3,125,000,000 board feet, or about 650 feet per capita. In 1911 the consumption of cement was "i,726,282 barrels, almost seven-tenths barrels per capita and of steel the consumption was 878,- 093 tons or one-tenth of a ton per capita. The figures on timber used In 1911 will be found certainly to exceed those of 1910, when there was consumed well over five billion feet of lumber, which would give, with a population of, eight millions of people a per capita consumption of C2ij feet or more—almost equal to the figure in 1899. This leaves out of consideration entirely the rapidly growing pulp Industry, which had a value of about ten millions in 1010. Pulp is gradually Inking the place (if lumber in many forms of interior finishing and box manufacture. To sum up: We use just as much wood as ever we did, and In addition we have brought. Into service seven times the cement per capita, and five times the steel we used In 1891. "With the forests uf British Columbia opening UP as they are, it is difficult to estimate the great probable Increase in the amount of limber used in Canada," says the Review, "While the industry Is capable ■of an expansion of five times Its present bulk, without impairing the wood capital, one rather shrinks from the thought of what condition forest fires, If they once got headway, might leave. Canada has an estimated growth per acre of 150 board feet and a cut of 12.5 board feet, but the fire loss is 525 board feet. The terrible disproporlion between tne amount grown and the amount removed every year Is something which must be overcome If Canada is to maintain her place in the fore of the timber-producing nations. "There may be some excuse for the use uf an ever-increasing absolute amount of timber -jump uf Joseph Gurney Cannon, private citizen, "went home" a few days ago from Washington, after nearly forty years of public service. Unattended, the erstwhile "czar of the House," picked up his gripsack and started for Danville, III. "Uncle Joe" and two big cedar boxes left together. The boxes contained the private letters and documents of a long service of years in the midst of Washington's political turmoil. It, took weeks to sort them from the accumulation of the former Speaker's letter files. "Well, I'm through," sighed Uncle Joe, as he straightened up after closing the last box, shook the dust from his hands and rumpled his scanty gray hair. "I've had a devil of a job getting rid of newspaper clippings and cartoons, besides my letters and papers. They were all worth keeping, and I had a hard time weeding them out. Most of them were clever, but scarcely of a complimentary nature," and Uncle Joe's keen gray eyes twinkled reminiscently. "What are you going to do back home?" he was asked. He rubbed his head reflectively, hoisted himself to Ihe edge of the table, wrapping his legs about the back of a chair, and began: "Well, my business is in pretty good shape. I've got a little bank stock and that is pretty well organized. My farm land is well handled. I guess I'll just look around a little bit. When 1 was young 1 wanted to travel, but 1 was too busy earning a living. Now i don't care much about It. The folks are planning a trip around the world. China, India, Japan, the Philippines and all the rest of it " Uncle Joe stroked his beard a moment and then leaning forward confidentially remarked: "But I'm not going. I may take a littlee run through Mississippi and Arkansas, where 1 want to look over some land in the Yazoo and St. Francis country, but that will be about all the travelling I shall do. "I am not tired. I feel just as well as 1 ever did, but 1 s'pose that's 'because I'm the old devil they say 1 am." "Will you continue in politics?" He pondered a moment, then said: "When .1 lose interest in politics you can bet I'll be dead. 1 will still be in politics, as a private citizen." Then, as In afterthought, "without personal ambitions." The former Speaker thought he might stop off on his way home to visit Representative Marlin Olmsted, one of his old adherents in the House, at Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. J. Eisenstadt of the Acme Clothing Store arrived home yesterday morning by the Prince George after an extended visit to points in the east. ,—o Out of the Months of Italics.
