FISH EXHIBITION AT
THE TORONTO FAIR
Department At Ottawa Is Co-operating To Induce Displays At Great
Exhibition In Hope Of Inducing
Greater Demand For This Food
Mention has before been made of
the fish exhibit that the Dominion
Fisheries Department is co-operating
in to have placed on view at the Toronto Exhibition. The idea of this
exhibit is to encourage the use of
fish products In'the Dominion as a
food. The department is not taking
the whole of the task in hand, it
would appear, but is assisting materially' the various companies that
are engaged in the work to make a
good showing.
Further details in connection with
the proposition are contained iu a
letter received by the last mail by J,
Lome McLaren, the secretary of the
Board of Trade, from F. W. Cunningham, the chief inspector of fisheries on this coast. Mr. McLaren, in
response to the decision of the
board, wrote Mr. Cunningham in the
matter in order to get the facts connected with the proposed proposition.
The letter in reply to this contains
the information desired. It Is as follows:
New Westminster, July 18, 1913.
J. L. McLaren, Esq.,
Secy. Prince Rupert Board of Trade,
Prince Rupert, B.C.:
Dear Sir,—In reply to your letter
of the Oth Inst, re a Fisheries Exhibit at the Toronto Exhibition this
year I may say this exhibit is really
for the purpose of increasing the
consumption of fish food, and is being conducted, in the interests of the
fish trade. The conditions as set
forth in a letter addressed to me by
the Department at Ottawa are as follows:
"Keeping in view that those experienced in the business will be in
the best position to make a satisfactory exhibit and to demonstrate to
the public the desirability of using
more fish than the Department
could, and also that but few firms
are anxious to make such exhibits,
it has been decided best to largely
place the matter in the hands of
such companies, by allowing them to
go ahead and make their exhibits,
they to provide all the raw material,
and this Department to pay the costs
of transportation to, and,   if neces-

sary, from the exhibition, as well as
the cost of putting up the booths.
These companies will undertake to
have their own men at the exhibit
all through the fair, who will carry
out the demonstration above referred
to.
"To enable a thoroughly satisfactory exhibit of frozen fish to be
made, the Department is installing
an up-to-date freezer, which, will
have a cai acity for six tons of fish,
and which will have a glass front so
that the fish inside will be always on
view. Those interested will also be
able to enter the freezer, as doors
are provided into the sharp freezing
rooms and into the cold storage
chamber."
So far the fish companies have
not shown any great interest in the
matter, and what the outcome of the
Department's efforts in this direction
will be remains to be seen.
Yours truly,
iSgd.)        F. H. CUNNINGHAM,
Chief Inspector of Fisheries.
SUFFRAGETTES INVADE
THE TERRACE
London, July 23.—A band of suffragettes aboard a launch yesterday moored alongside the House of Commons Terrace while
the members of the House were taking tea. Miss Beryl upbraided
the members from the upper deck. When the police patrol appeared the women bombarded the Terrace with leaflets. They then
sailed away, showing their heels to the patrol.

Calumet, Mich., July 23.—Twelve
copper mines in this neighborhood
closed this morning as a result of the
strike called by the Western Federation of Miners. Only a quarter of the
men belong to the union, but It has
been found impossible to run the
mines with these men out. The companies are determined not to treat
with the federation. They are prepared for a long period of idleness.
It is estimated that 15,000 miners
are affected by the strike that is
now called.

BASKET PICNIC.
The Methodist Sunday School picnic takes place this afternoon.
Launch and scow will leave the Government Wharf at 1:30 p.m. sharp
for Metlakatlah, returning for home
at about 7:30 in the evening.
Good weather seems to be assured
and a pleasant outing is anticipated.
The day is primarily for the children
of the Sunday School, but many
older people have expressed their intention of attending to enjoy the
trip.
Ladies of the church who bring
baskets as well as the scholars of
the Sunday School will go free.
Tickets for other adults may be had
at the wharf at 50 cents, and children 25 cents.
Parents are expected to provide
their children with baskets and all
who attend must make similar provision for themselves. Water for
making tea or coffee will be available on the grounds.
Binghampton, N. Y., July 23.—At
daybreak today a big force of city
employees began to search the
smouldering ruins of the Freeman
Overall Factory which was destroyed
by fire yesterday. A conservative
estimate puts the dead at fifty.
There are sixteen charred bodiei
unidentified. This is as far as the
search has gone, but many lost
their lives by falling and jumping
from the building. Most of the inmates were girls.
An inquiry will be held Into the
cause of the disaster and an endeavor made to fix the responsibility,
if any, for the loss of life.

Washington, July 23.—The repeal
of the neutrality laws and the proclamation prohibiting the exportation
of arms to Mexico is being considered by the administration here as the
next step in the Mexican situation. A
conference between Henry Lane Wilson, the ambassador to Mexico, who
is now here, and the congressional
leaders has been planned for loday.
The discussion will include this
proposal to which many of the leaders have already given approval.
It is understood that the belief of
the administration officials is thai
should the free exportation of arms
be permitted to all (actions in Mexico the present situation might adjust
itself. The congressionalists claim
that the lack of arms is the only bar
to quick victory.
The repeal suggested is proposed
on the ground that there is no recognized government in Mexico. When
the prohibition was enacted a regularly constituted government, recog-
i.ized by the United States, was In
existence.
The administration will make no
Move In the Mexican situation and
h;ii reserve announcement of Its future policy towards the Huerta government until after President Wilson
ami Secretary Bryan have hail an opportunity to confer with Ambassador
Henry Lane Wilson,
Upon the advice and report of
conditions which Ambassador Wilson
presents will depend whether he will
return to the Mexican capital, No
answer will be made to any of Hie
European   powers   as   to   conditions
THE NEW ZEALAND IS
APPROACHING COAST
in Mexico until the Washington government has been able to learn the
true state of affairs In the southern
republic.
No criticism is advanced against
Ambassador Wilson for failing to
supply all the Information desired by
the president and his advisers, the
difficulties of communication being
taken Into account, While it was said
reliably thai the i resilient had hoped
after personal conversations with
the American ambassador to formulate a definite policy toward Mexican
affairs, officials by no means are
une that ills opinions would in- crystallized immediately, us the uncertainty and constant changes In the
situation may produce additional
complications.
The results of the High School
Entrance Examinations have been
made known. Prince Rupert centre
passed eight out of the twenty-three
that wrote on the examination. Of
the eight one, Doris Campbell, trained at the Georgetown School. There
were two of those who wrote here
who took their training at the
Georgetown School, so that Prince
Rupert passed seven pupils out of the
twenty-one that wrote here. Quite a
few of those who wrote at the examinations were not recommended to
take the test by Principal Hunter.
The High School   Entrance Exam-
I Inatlon was held on the 2f.tli. 26th,
and 27th ult., at tho thirty High
School centres throughout the province. The total number of candidates
was 2101. out of which 1214 were
successful.

INTERFERENCE IN   MEXICO.
There seems to be an evident desire on the part of the United States
just now to take a hand in the Mexican situation. Apart from the feeling that tnere might well be -no further extension of the territory of the
United States and the fact that that
country has not been the most successful as a holder of dependencies,
it must be admitted that the effect
of the United States in going in and
taking Mexico would bo for the advantage of the whole continent. The
United States is more directly interested in the situation there owing to
the  proximity of  the  country.
There is no reason to doubt that
Mexico is a rich country, callable of
adding very materially to the world's
production. It is to a large extent allowed to lie barren because of the
absence of settled government or sufficient power to exercise proper control and allow the easy Investment of
money there. If the United States
were to take possession and settle
the conditions there, there is no
question that soon Mexico would he
<ino of tiie best States in the whole
union.
Under these circumstances might
it not be the best thing for all parties in any way concerned that Mexico as an independent state should
cease lo exist and the country should
be coupled up with Hie United
States? If at the same time some arrangement could be made for the
passing of Alaska to Canada, thus
shaping off the continent in a natural way, the .other move might be
regarded us still more welcome.
GARBAGE METHODS.
Garbage removal is as yet conducted along up-to-date lines in only a
very few Canadian municipalities,
says Conservation, issued by the Dominion Commission. In SaTanac, N.
Y., where a great deal of attention
is paid to sanitary matters, it is customary to wrap all garbage of a
vegetable or animal nature in newspapers before placing it in the
garbage tin. This deprives the flies
of their principal source of food and
has other obvious advantages in connection with the handling of tlie refuse.
This method was adopted by a
resident of an Eastern Ontario city
who had seen it in use at Saranac. To
his great disgust the garbage men,
when they did come, carefully removed the paper wrappings and
threw them carelessly round Ihe
yard. It was a sad outcome of an intelligent effort  to  better conditions.

GRAIN MARKETS
LOOK SETTLED
GENERAL MANAGER OF OGILVIE
COMPANY GIVES   VIEWS   ON
SITUATION.
Nothing Appears   to   Be    Disturbing
the  General   World   Market
Now.
Despite wars and rumors of wars,
Mr, W. A. Black, general manager
of the Ogilvie Flour Milling Company, who has just- returned from
a trip abroad, sees nothing but the
most optimistic outlook in the grain
markets of the world for the present
and coming year.
In an interview Mr. Black stated
llial the present outlook was very
encouraging. He said: "The London
Board of Trade export figures are
away up and th9 Balkan war has
had little monetary effect on the
grain situation abroad.
"The crop conditions in England,"
he said, "are very good this year.
Russia has more and a better crop
of wheat, while those of France and
Germany are also  very good."
The enormous increase in the exports of Canadian wheat thjs year
-Mr. Black attributes to the poor
quality of the grain raised in England last year, but as the quality,
if not the quantity, is improved, so
far this year, it is expected that
there will be some falling off in next
year's demand for Canadian grain.
It is not expected, however, that
the English crop will show anything
over the average in quantity.
Questioned as to the Bulgarian
wheat crop being somewhat smaller
than last year, Mr. Black said that
it was generally stated and believed
abroad that the crop raised would he
just as large as usual, if not larger,
as directly after the Balkan-Turkish
war, the men hastened back to the
fields in time to plant any that had
not heretofore been seeded.
As to the monetary situation
abroad, Mr. Black explained that
from his point of view he did not
think that the money stringency was
caused in any way by being entirely
tied up in investments as it was being held back by those who were
afraid to let go of it until the present political situation had better adjusted itself. It seemed, he said,
that everybody was holding back
waiting for some adjustment of affairs.
■In reviewing his time spent in
Liverpool, on his return journey, Mr.
Black said that it was most wonderful to see the change in the class of
immigrants embarking there for Canada and biottnd for the great northwest. There were fewer of the lower
and illiterate classes such as have
formerly come from abroad, and it
seemed that the more intelligent of
the foreign classes had awakened to
the fact that Canada was in need
of their assistance as skilled laborers
and they were coming here full of expectations.

THE PRINCE GEORGE    BROUGHT
LARGE    COMPLEMENT   OF
PASSENGERS.
Unusual Experience in Port .Account
of  Pog   Han^iiiK    Over    Waters
of the Harbor.
The Grand Trunk Pacific steamer
Prince George reached port yesterday morning with many on board,
'lhere was a delay of about fifteen
minutes in making the landing owing to the fact that the unusual condition of a bank of fog hanging over
the waters of the harbor prevailed
as the steamer came into port. Mariners have come to regard the port
of Prince Rupert immune from fogs,
and certain it is that it Is seldom a
mist hangs over the harbor. Yesterday, however, as the steamer came in
there was a rather dense bank of fog
lying across the entrance and the
farther side of the harbor. On the
city side the fog was not nearly as
dense. The steamer came in at the
usual time, but was held In the mist
for perhaps ten minutes before the
fog lifted and the boat was able to
see the wharf. In ten minutes more
no mist was anywhere to be seen.
The experience the Prince George
had is one of the most unusual that
any vessel has had In this port. The
steamer carried a very large number
of passengers, many of them, being
bound for the interior of the district,
leaving by the train half an hour later. Among those who arrived were
a number of tourists. The passengers
included the following:
Miss J. Allen, Mrs. A. Hughes,
William Dixey, Mr. Kelly, Mrs. Mil
ler, Mrs. L. C. White, Mrs. B. West,
Mrs. B. F. Stanwood, Ed. Aldonard,

SHORT SEASON.
The season of navigation on the
Stickine River was a very short one
this year. High water on the river
allowed the four trips of the. Hudson's Bay steamer Port Simpson to
be completed in short time. The vessel is back again at Port Simpson
ai d tied up. The amount of freight
handled this year on the Stickine was
not great. •-.....
LEELANAW IX.
The big steamer Leela'naw, now on
the run to Skagway from the southern ports, called here yesterday on

MANY HOLD STOCK
IN CRAND^TRUNK
IT     IS ONE OF  THE     RAILWAYS
THAT  HAS SHAKES   WIDELY
DISTRIBUTED.
NO MORE DOCKING.
Over  (10,000  Hold  Interests in   the
Great Canadian   Transportation
System.
According, to a statement given to
the Monetary Times this week by
Mr. E. J. Chamberlin, president of
the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway,
the number of Grand Trunk shareholders on the company's register is
02,740.
The number of stockholders naturally varies from day to day, and
the figures mentioned are the number on Ihe occasion of the issue of
the last half-yearly reporl of the
company.
This number Includes the holders
of the Grand Trunk five per cent.
debenture stock and of the four per
but not the registered holders of
the Grcai Western and Northern debenture stocks, wiiu have no voting
power ami consequently do nol receive the report,
The holders of the last mentioned
stock may be taken at approximately
51,000. In 1H11 Grand Trunk shares
were held by 42,624, against 52,200
In 1912. The shares of this road
are held almost exclusively in the
British Islands. The late' Mr. Chas.
M. Hays told the Monetary Times In
1911 that from 7!i to 90 per cent.
of Grand Trunk shareholders were
resident in Great Britain.
It will be remembered that Sir
Thomas Shaughnessy gave out that
the total number of Canadian Pacific common stockholders at present
is about 27,000. The number of
Grand Trunk shareholders probably
comes second only to the Pennsylvania Railroad in America, which recently reported 64,689 shareholders.
Horses  Will  Not   Have Tails Amputated Much Longer.
In reply to a question by Mr.
George Greenwood, M.P., in the
House of Commons, recently, Colonel
Seely, secretary for war, stated that
as few docked horses as possible are
bought, for the army, and that after
three years from that date no remounts with docked tails will be
bought.
A special circular to this effect
has now been issued by the War Office.
Further, the army council have issued orders to officers engaged in
buying army remounts in accordance with this decision, and dealers
from whom remounts are usually
bought have been informed.
This decision is welcome news to
Mr. Winans and those who have
been working with him to stop the
practice of docking. Mr. Winans recently drove a team of undocked
horses in the presence of the King.
