This part of the operations at Hays Creek, on the largest drydock on the Pacific, will occupy a very considerable gang of men for some months to come. The buildings will be erected In order that the pontoons fo<- the great 20,000-ton floating dock may be constructed .here in the shipbuilding yards that are to be a permanent feature of the yards. Mr. Beer, who is to supervise the work, left yesterday morning. Mr. Wineland, who is to take charge of the actual work himself for the Wineland Construction Company, and Mr. Pearce, the engineer for the company, are remaining and getting operations started.

Ho Remarks Upon the Character of the Session Which Has Just Closed. Among the arrivals by the Princess Sophia yesterday was Dr. Thompson, the member for the Yukon in the House of Commons. He is on his way back to Dawson after the session. The Doctor had time to pay a visit to his brother, J. H. Thompson, and other friends during the stay over of the steamer. Speaking of the session, he says that Premier Borden has made himself very strong in the country by his able administration of affairs. The session, owing to the blocking methods that were adopted by the Opposition, was rendered less satisfactory from the standpoint of general business than would otherwise have been the case. The Opposition kept, up the useless debate on the naval question for the great part of the session. Then towards the close when the estimates were being put through millions were passed without a voire being raised from the Opposition. The Doctor says that, while there was nothing but what was correct in connection with the estimates, the function of an opposition to make full enquiry into the money that was voted was lost sight of. Votes for millions at a time went through without a single challenge being made. Dr. Thompson is inclined to think that there will be two sessions of the House before there is an appeal to the country.

The keynote of the President's speech was that the- currency measure was the twin brother to the Tariff Bill. Il siak-s that the currency reform is vitally necessary to enable the business interests in the country to adjust themselves to the conditions arising out of the revision of the tariff schedules. &MHHHW>«BKH»#ftWt^^ PRINCE RUPERT HEARTILY WELCOMES ITS VISITORS CITY WILL BUY OUTFIT IN USE THE COUNCIL DECIDES TO PUR. CHASE SCAVENGING EQUIPMENT NOW USED. The Price of $1)00 |s Regarded by the Health Committee As Fair Bargain. Tho city council a few weeks ago decided that it would be well to take over the scavenging. The outfit of the partners who are now operating this is to be bought. This was decided upon last evening on the report of the health committee. The price for the two horses and the carts, etc., is to be $900. On the report favoring the purchase of this equipment, Aid, Sutherland stated, as chairman of the committee, that they had made an investigation into the plant and also made inquiries as to the worth of the outfit. It was worth all that was asked for it. In addition to this, it was found that it would cost the city perhaps $250 to get the work done while an equipment was being got here if bought outside. The report was adopted. PROPOSITION TO SECUREJiROUNDS FRED STORK MADE PROPOSAL TO CITY COUNCIL IN THIS MATTER. He Suggests Citizens Putting Up .Money to Be Returned by City Later. There appeared before the city council last evening Fred Stork, who pointed out the necessity for getting something done in the way of recreation grounds in the city. He thought himself that ihere was a site at Acropolis Mill between the reservoir and Borden Street which might be so converted at a small cost. There was a rising bank that could easily be made. Into a grandstand, and the part, in front of it at an expenditure of say $8000 might be made into a splendid grounds, 400 feet by 000 feet. He realized that he would be met with the money situation, but if the council would have the engineer report upon the proposition he felt that a joint stock company could be organized with, say, from $10 to $100 worth of stock being taken by the citizens. ■ Continued on Page Three.) Today Prince Rupert citizens are to have in their midst a distinguished party of visitors from the south. They have come to the city from a foreign land. Prince Rupert extends to them no less hearty a welcome on that account. The visitors are of the self-same blood as are the residents on this side of the line. The governments and the instiulions of both Canada and the United States, although they may differ in some details to suit slightly altered conditions, have sprung from the same origin and there is essentially a common feeling of brotherhood between the peoples of the two countries. The residents of Seattle who are to arrive today are doubly welcome to this city and The Journal but breathes the wish of every citizen when it invites them to walk in and make themselves at home. If they want anything they don't see, ask for it. If Prince Rupert has It, it is for them; if Prince Rupert lacks it, well, the city is young and frontier conditions prevail to some extent yet. In addition to the general hospitality which the city extends to all comers, the residents of Seattle must appeal strongly to the builders of Prince Rupert. Seattle has a reputation for overcoming difficulties. The citizens of Seattle bave never lacked civic pride and loyalty to the place. Among -those who come today are the business men GXP. HOTEL HERE TO BE A BIG ONE Rumor Has It That Company Realizes That Plans Have To Be Altered Somewhat To Provide For Still Larger Building Than At First Planned — Work To Start Soon who have put Seattle in the proud position it occupies among the coast cities. These men have many of them gone through the self-same experiences that citizens of Prince Rupert are meeting with at the present time. They had physical difficulties with respect to the site of the city to overcome just as there are heavy tasks in that line to face in Prince Rupert. They had jealous rivals who sought to belittle the chances of that city in the same way as Prince Rupert has had to combat similar adverse knockings. The coming of these Seattle business men should be an iinspiration to residents here. These men made Seattle in spite of all obstacles. What they have done for the Puget Sound city will be repeated here. Faith in the future and determination to win out will accomplish the marvels that stand out in bold relief in Seattle. In perfunctory way therefore is a welcome accorded the Seattle visitors. Prince Rupert business men have put their hands to a task in the carrying out of which Seattle has taught the way. There cannot be too much of the Seattle spirit impregnated here, o Mr. Beer, of the Wineland Construction Company, which has the contract for the buildings in the drydock yards, was a passenger south yesterday morning. He will return in a few weeks' time. While there is, as far as nan lie learned, nothing very definite received in the city from the headquarters of the Grand Trunk Pacific relative to the plans for the liotel that is to be started here in a few weeks' lime, it. is rumored that the plans of the company are being reviewed somewhat by the architeel in order to give still more room lhati was at first intended in connection with the building. From semi-official sources it is learned that the heads of the company realize that the needs of this place in the way of a tourist centre are to be far greater than was at first anticipated. In view of this it has been decided, according to this Information, to have the hotel made commodious enough on the start to take care of all the travel that may offer for some time to come.

WHAT PRINCE RUPERT HAS ASSURED TO HER The city ef Prince Rupert starts off with an assurance with respect to the future far in excess of anything possessed by any other city in Canada. While cities of over 100,000 of a population are striving to interest capital in drydoeks. In shipbuilding plants, in elevators and in many other lines of industry and permanent improvements these are assured to Prince Rupert in its infancy and in many instances the works are already under way. Few residents really realize what the work means to the city. In order to bring to their attention the situation In this respect the following works now under way or assured to the city are enumerated: Prince Rupert floating dock, under construction by the G. T. P. at a cost approaching $2,000,000 and capable of taking care of the largest vessel on the Pacific Ocean. Shipbuilding plant in conjunction with which can be constructed coasting vessels year. Ctii'.a elevators with a capacity of ten lni'lion bushels to be constructed by the G. T. P. - Colossal hotel to cost a million dollars now about to be started by the G.T.P. Permanent station and sheds for the wharf now about to start by the ii. T. P. Acres of railway yards now being cleared by the G. T. P, of rock at a cost of a million dollars or more. Provincial Government Buildings of stone structure costing hall a million now about to be started. Federal Government Buildings to cost a sum approximating that of the Provincial Buildings. Large cold storage for llslih g industry now bui't by the Canadian Fish & Cold Storage Company at Seal Cove, and supplied with a large fleet of trawlers, seining boats, etc., costing a million and a half dollars, now in full operation. Cannery of the most improved type under construction by the Canadian Fish & Cold Storage Company. Cold storage to be erected by the British Columbia Fisheries this fall at Porpoise Harbor to be used in the fishing industry somewhat similar to the Canadian Fish & Cold Storage Company. In addition to these as some of the large plants that are absolutely assured, there are numerous other fishing concerns with plans somewhat less extensive,additional works for the G. T. P, permanent docks for the railway company, oil storage tanks for the Standard Oil Company to supply all the demands of the north and numerous other industrial concerns. Under these curcumstances, can it be wondered as that citizens of Prince Rupert feel sure with respect to the future. a-CHMKKKUKKi-a ,1. Y. ROCHESTER AND OTHE1I HOLDERS OF LOTS ON CAMERON BAY .MAUI". CLAIM. The Matter Is Referred to Finance Committee for Consideration and Report, At the meeting of the council last evening there was an application from J. Y. Rochester and other lease-holders of lots on Cameron Bay asking for a remission of the taxes that had been paid to the city for the past three years in view, as set forth in the letter, that they had not had the use of the lots owing to the fact that the Grand Trunk Pacific had blocked the way in. Aid. Bullock-Webster thought that this was something that it might be well to have the advice of the city solicitor on before any action was taken by the council and he thought that it might well stand over until the return of the solicitor. The matter was referred to the finance committee. SKEENA IS ON BAD BEHAVIOUR THE WATERS HAVE RISEN HIGHER THAN ANY TIME IN FIFTEEN YEARS. Bridges Swept Away mill Oilier Damage Done—G.T.P.

The officials of the Grand Trunk Pacific have an un- houncling faith in the city and from the sources of information that are available to them they have come to the conclusion that there is to be such a large amount of travel through here that a hotel ot the first order is needed at the very opening of the line. It is expected that work will begin on the building either next month or, at the latest, the month following, when construction of the basement and the sub-basement will be proceeded with. These will occupy a height of about 3i> feet In order to bring the building to the level of (Continued on Page Three) TO INVESTIGATE TROUBLES.

Advertising Rates I'pon Application. Tuesday June 24, 1913. our visitors; The visit to Prince Rupert today of a distinguished party of Seattle business men is of more than passing Importance. The name of Seattle is synonymous with united action on the part of the citizens of a place to overcome all civic difficulties. Well may the men who are beginning things in Prince Rupert sit at the feet of the visitors from Seattle and learn of them. These business men of tiie southern city never knew whal it was to acknowledge defeat. They stood by their city through dull days as well as through bright ones. The spirii that was shown in Seattle can well be emulated here, as we believe it is being done. On this continent the human tide which has carried with it industrial and commercial progress has been surging westward, building up large centres as it came towards the Pacific. The striking of the western shore-line seems to have diverted the stream northward. Prince Rupert occupies a strategic position in this connection. It Is the key to the great north that is now developing in Canada and Alaska. Our visitors are on a tour of investigation as well as of pleasure. Their eyes are open to the opportunities that exist here. Prince Rupert is occupying a somewhat similar position to whal Seattle did bul a few years a^o. Without being charged with being discourteous to our visitors, we may add Ihat we feel that Prince Rupert's position is such as to give it advantages ovei even Seattle. The development of Prince Rupert in no sense means injury to Seattle, or to any of the oilier cities in the south. On the contrary, Ihe development of trade here will mean increased commercial business in the cities farther south. This has been the history of the development of commercial and trading centres. Seattle, Vancouver and the other ports to the south will not suffer with Prince Rupert's rise. This city will develop a ir«icl<> of her own, anil in doing so will throw increased business in the direction of these other points. Seattle business men are large enough to realize this. It is true that in some small ways Prince Rupert may cut off from Seattle trade that is going that way from Alaskan ports, bul in return for this Prince Ruperl will give Seattle trade far in excess of what is cut off. Besides this, the general developmenl of this northern country that will follow the building up of a great shipping pon here will mean further extensions of business for all the cities OH Ihe Coast. It is practical commercial men j who an- visiting the city. Seattli PRIVATE SEWERS GIVE TROUBLE ALD. BULLOCK-WEBSTER AND ALU. McCAFFERY CLASH OVER MATTER. The Question Called for Information Concerning a Private Dispute. A matter affecting the sewer proposition in the city came before the council last evening and called for an explanation that seemed to affect private parties to a large extent. It was Introduced by Aid. Bullock-Webster, who wanted information as to why bills were sent out from the- assessor's office in Ihe city hall culling for repairs to a private sewer on Fifth Avenue. lie said that it appeared that the work was carelessly done in any event, for it was, acording to the first notices, made to appear thai ten were to pay for the work. This was later changed to fourteen, and it now appeared that there should have been fifteen who were charged. lie contended (hat it was doubtful if this could be collected, and, being for a private sewer, he did not know how it came to go out from the assessor's office. Some said they would not pay. Aid. McCaffery explained the matter. He said that Hie work had been done in repairing the sewer bj the city engineer's instructions. The notices had been sent om to try and collect from those who were connected up with it. As to there being a mistake as to the number of connections he said that he himself was responsible for that in large measure. He explained that there had been some additional connections made Io the sewer In question without permission of those who put it in. Aid. Bullock-Webster had made some connections in this way. Aid. Bullock-Webster contended that he had agreed to pay $15 a connection at first. He had paid $120, however, for the four connections. Why should a private sewer be collected by the-city he asked. Aid. McCaffery said that he felt that if there were those who refused to pay owing to the fact that the amendment to the bylaw had nol yel passed they might not be able to make them pay. He would himself pay for those who dicl nol so pay. He did not propose to take a lot of time discussing at council a matter that was very private in its character and affected only those directly interested. - * * +»»»»AH^»»*»»JME<MMH>"»»»*»»»»» *4**********f* 4*++** LUM Coal, Cement, Plaster and Brick AND A COMPLETE LINE OF BUILDERS' SUPPLIES I WESTHOLME LUMBER CO., LTD. j i First Avenue Prince Rupert Telephone 186 I ******************ie**1,***k****•*•***••••*••*•**< ***** , OUR BEST LEADER Rexall Glycerine Soap I5c the Cake.

The Liberal Opposition at Ottawa during the past session appears to have failed in its mission to /guard the public interest by a careful scrutiny of the estimates. Centering all its energies upon the one thing —that of blocking the naval bill— they let the ciuestion of the estimates pass without the least scrutiny. Million dollar votes, no doubt very necessary, were allowed to go by without a question even being asked. The Liberals find fault with the fact that there is no opposition in the British Columbia Legislature. It is evident that at Ottawa when it comes to real, practical opposition there Is little better than there is in British Columbia, where no Liberals sit. j Royal Bank of Canada X< HEAD OFFICE: MONTREAL 3STABLISHED 1869 j g Surplus $1*5,500,000 Capita] $11,500,otxi 5 Total Assets $175,000,000 Savings Ban.i Department—$1 Will Open an Account 2 Branches Throughout Canada and Banking Connections With All Parts of the United States J Agents Throughout the World X H.

Towards the end of Ihe present month the powerful tug Lome, Captain Cutler', which visits her frequently, will shift from Victoria to North Vancouver, where she will be converted into un oil-burner. The Wallace shipyards bave been awarded the contract for putting oil in the Lome, and it is expected that the big job will he completed within three weeks after the mechanics start making the alterations. The change will not keep the towboat out of service for any length of time. With oil the steaming radius ot the Lome will be increased considerably, and her stokehold staff will 'be cut down materially, which is a natural sequence to the installation of oil fuel. It is not expected that the speed of the Lome will be affected as her boilers have always furnished sufficient steam to turn her powerful engines over to the limit.

There will be three partial bulkheads on each side to stiffen the pontoons. All diagonal braces are heavily reinforced with anchor stocks. The arch brace is made up of planking through-bolted with screw bolts, and is intended to take the reverse stresses when the dock is floating light. This is a considerable amount when it is considered that the wings are superimposed weights carrying at the extreme ends of the trusses, supported by an evenly distributed pressure over the entire bottom. Six by 12-inch deck beams are worked across the upper and lower truss members, carrying the 5-inch deck and bottom planking parallel to, and reinforcing the truss members for the maximum stress. This construction also makes it possible to get in double vertical tie rods alongside of bulkheads in such a manner thai they may be ret.laced at. any lime. The whole structure is made water-tight by caulking with white pine wedges. To protect the exterior from teredo and oilier marine worms, it is first thoroughly graved witli tar poisoned with arsenic, then sheathed with two layers of hair felt, each thoroughly saturated with tar and arsenic, and then with creosoted lumber, also treated with arsenic and thoroughly secured with galvanized nails. This treatment, together with the facility for inspection .afforded by the possibility of detaching and docking any pontoon, has been found to give satisfactory protection. Each pontoon will require approximately 230,000 board ft. of lumber or a total, including outrigger or prow on tbe end pontoons, of 4,000,000 board ft. The entire bill of lumber will be of selected grade of Oregon pine or Douglas fir. Wicker chairs anil rockers for SI.•">'), .lime's special prices at George D. Tite's. (j Remember that Harry C.
