.IMMENSE TRAFFIC
What the G.T.P. Hay  Expect In the
Way «f Trade When Completed
la Forecasted.
The Experience of the C.P.R. in the
Matter    Is Indicative   of a Tremendous Development.
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

There has been an appalling loss of

SAVING THE TIMBER

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

is therefore unnecessary to say that
tbe navy bill will not be dropped.

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

felled. There are difficulties in milling,  in  that  the soft punky outside

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 city is shortly to be placed in telegraphic communication
with Fort St. John, which is In the Peace River government reserve and which is to become one of the rich areas of this province.
The move for a telegraph connection with this point is being backed
Up by H. S. Clements, M.P., the representative of the district, who
realizes that although this is outside of his constituency there will
be a decided advantage to Prince Rupert to have connection with
it .lames Cornwall, of Alberta, who was here some months ago, is
pressing also for the telegraph line to be extended to that point
and has enlisted the co-operation of Mr Clements, who has gone
so far as to have the question of a subsidy for the proposition of
an extension of the government line from Spirit River to Fort St.

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. He will take up his
quarters at the cannery site of Hie
company on the opposite side of the
harbor. ..-"-> ■'■   -    -■■ ,-■        •■■   '

Prince Rupert will soon be on one

the Grand Trunk Pacific is completed and the means provided by which
the scenic beauties of this part of

other coastal attractions within a

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

of  the  province.   Mr.   Foster  knows

"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..

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.

Something
That
You Never
Seen
Nor
Even
Heard
of!
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.

FISH HARDLY EVER DIE.
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.

SAVING  THE TIMIIKR.
(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."

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.
