PELKEY NOT GUILTY.
Arthur J. Pelkey, charged with
manslaughter in connection with
the death of Luther McCarty,
was adjudged not guilty, the jury returning a verdict last evening after an
hour's deliberation. There was a ripple
of applause in the courtroom when the
verdict was announced.
The case was tried before Chief Justice Harvey, and his lordship defined
for the first time what constitutes a
prize fight in the Dominion of Canada.
He held that an encounter with fists,
privately arranged for, was a prizefight, and was not permissable. His
interpretation of the statute, if it
stands, puts an end to all boxing contests in tho Dominion where the authorities arc inclined to interfere.
The verdict of the jury was to the
effect that the contest was a prizefight,
but the jury held against the belief
that Pelkey had inflicted ths blow
which dislocated the neck of his antag
onist. The jury, by its verdict, memorializes the Provincial Legislature to
pass n law defining specifically what
C institutes a prizefight, and prohibiting the staging of such contests in Alberta in the future.
His lordship objected to the jury's
recommendation, asserting that his
definition of the law and the decision
of the jury established a precedent and
made further legislation unnecessary.
His lordship abo informed Pelky that
had the jury adjudged him guilty he
would'have imposed no sentence on
him, as the case was more to test the
lew than to fix the guilt of the defendant.

WATER POWER ALONG P.G.E.
Anticipating the future power requirements of Greater Vancouver and
the probability of the electrification of
the coast section of the Pacific Great
Eastern Railway, the Bridge River
Company, recently incorporated, plans
to develop at least 200,000 horse power
in the Lillooet district. The expenditure involved will be about $3,000,000.
The project calls for the buildieg of
a large dam on Bridge river, and a tunnel two and a half miles long through a
mountain to an outlet on Seaton lake.
It has just been favorably reported on
by Mr. W. C. Smith, engineer of the
water rights branch of the department
of lands, Victoria. Mr. Smith made a
detailed examination of the Bridge
river, which is a large mauntain stream
with an enormous drainage basin, ensuring a large water supply the year
round. He was accompanied by Mr.

[NDER the registration laws brought down in the provincial
parliament this year it is no longer possible to apply to any
parcel of land any particular name by the process of registring a
plan thereof with name appended as heretofore. Under the new-
law, for instance, a townsite cannot be registered under the name
desired. Townsite plans must be registered as sub-divisions of
district lots, and the matter of a name for these places lies between the owners and the postal authorities. We publish this information for the benefit of those of our readers who are apt to
be deceived by the advertisements of a notoriously nervy town-
site concern which is endeavoring to create the impression that
the G.T.P. will not be allowed to call their townsite on the old
Indian Reserve here by the name "Prince George," The G.T.P.
will use this name, and at a date not far distant the townsites
here will be generally referred to as the Grand Trunk Pacific town,
Prince George, The postoffice department, we are informed on
reliable authority, have approved of the name.
THE sentencing to death of the Indian outlaw Paul Spintlum
brings to a fitting close a typically western crime drama. It
is not good to rejoice in the passing of the death sentence upon
even the most abandoned of criminals, yet we feel that had Spintlum escaped the penalty of the murders of which he has been
convicted, the result would have been demoralizing to the work
of the provincial police amongst the Indians. Since the time when
the Indian Gun-a-noot at Hazelton, killed a man and successfully
escaped the vigilance of the law in the hinterlands, there has existed amongst the Hazelton Indians a certain insolence which, in
their inflamable minds might at any time find vent in violence
and murder. The same spirit would have prevailed had Spintlum
escaped the law. The days of the gun-fighter, the bad Indian and
the posse are slowly drawing to a close. Development and the
march of progress in the west leaves such dramatic, but deplorable features of primitive days in the traditions of the country
only, and when on occasion, as in the Clinton outrage, a man
harks back to the spirit of outlawry, and resists arrest by murder,
the outraged justice of a civilized country demands retribution.
And so a sordid tragedy comes to an end. Poor Kindness, the
brave young constable who was murdered lies in an honored
grave, and his murderer stands in the shadow of the gallows.
THE END IS NOT YET.
(From Toronto Saturday Night)
It seems evident that the clash between the Grand Trunk Pacific and ''Hammondaille" is far from being terminated, peacefully
or otherwise.
The decision of the Dominion Railway'Board, which upsets the
station location designed by the G.T.P. for Fort George, and
which finding favored the contentions of George Hammond, of the
Natural Resources Security Company, has been appealed by the
G.T.P. to the Governor-in-Council. The whole case will therefore undergo revision, and a possible outcome is the reversal of
the finding of the Dominion Railway Board, The Commission
recently, after hearing both parties, decided that the G.T.P.
dept should be placed on the main line about three thousand feet
east from the limits of Hammond's immense group of properties,
but not six thousand feet east and in the middle of the Grand
Trunk townsite, as designed by the railway officials.
So far as imparting actual value to the myriad of 25-foot town
lots sold by Hammond at from $250 to $1,500 or higher, the order
of the Board as to the station site did little, Plans in Hammond's
original advertisements played fast and loose with truth by locating the station on the Natural Resources property. The Railway
Board last May located the depot over half a mile in a. straight
line distant from the nearest of these sandwiches of land, and the
Grand Trunk Pacific has opened a campaign to have the matter
re-considered with a view of having their -own original station
plans accepted. What the final outcome will be cannot of course
be predicted, Hammond heralded the recent decision, however,
by announcing "A Double Victory" in bold type covering large
spreads in the newspaper, and inaugurated another lot-selling
campaign on the head of his "victory."
But the end is not yet.
Hammond has evidently put the Grand Trunk Pacific people to
the maximum of inconvenience. His wholesale townsiting methods have had the temporary effect of shifting the depot location
3,000 feet west of where the railway designed it to be. The railroad is now prepared to usher its principal officers, not to mention
expert railroad engineers, before the Federal Cabinet in the effort
to conserve the original plans of the railway, Able lawyers will
endervor to show that the station sight selected by the G.T.P. is
the logical place, and if the road is not successful it will not be
for want of a thorough ventilation of the real facts before the
Cabinet Ministers of the Dominion,
Meanwhile those that may be tempted to pin their faith to the
Hammond properties might be well advised to look well into the
situation before they buy Hammond's town lots. No matter where
the depot is finally built, it will be surrounded by Grand Trunk
Pacific business ar.d residential lots, and these must have priori-

THE news has gone forth of the death of the Duke of Sutherland. The passing of His Grace of Sutherland removes from
Canadian annals the figure of a man who, with generations of
hereditary power, dignity and ducal grandeur behind him, walked
abreast of the times into the New World and organized in Canada
well-concived coolnization schemes, having for their aim the
relief of the congestion which is the condition in certain parts of
Great Britain in which the late duke held vast realms of land. In
Canada the late Duke of Sutherland was widely liked. Besides
being one of the most popular members of the Peerage, the Duke
of Sutherland was most widely traveled and well informed. It
will be remembered that His Grace visited South Fort George last
year, not being deterred from viewing his land holdings in this
district by the long and tedious journey up the Cariboo road. The
death of His Grace is a national loss.
ty over the Hammond lam.-, an
of which are, of course, entirely
outside of the G.T,P, lownsite.
More than that, in an interview
acc'orded a deputation from South
Fort George, Mr. Morley Donaldson, vice-president and general manager of the Grand Crunk
Pacific, made it plain last week
to those business men that development of lliv G.T.P. town-
site would be in an easterly direction, away from the Natural
Resources Security properties
rather than 'towards the Hammond lands. Mr. Donaldson
pointed out thai the cost of G.T.
P, hotels and other conveniences
was met, not from G.T.P. funds,
but came from profits of subsidiary companies, such as townsite
companies controlled by the road.
If G.T.P. plans were fulfilled,
(FortGeorge would, Mr. Donaldson said, become the most important divisional point between |
Edmonton and the coast. The
development at Kort George
would be east and south, and not
west, he said, The large shops,
and round houses of the company
would be built on the eastern
portion of the railway townsite, j
north of the tracks, where also j
would be placed the G.T.P, hotel j
and other buildings.
Evidentlv those who ignored j
the dominant position that the
G.T.P. must finally hold in the}
FortGeorge situation, and whoi
bought Hammond's lots on the I
strength of full-page suggestions, have another long session
on the anxious seat ahead of
them. The Governor-in-Council,
and possibly in the end the Privy
Council in England, will have a.
say in the final decision of this!

and Kettle Valley. The boundaries of
several of these districts will shortly
be altered to include the railway belt
the transfer of which was recently
completed by the Dominion Parliament. Practically no division of the
province north of the railway belt
has yet been madt, but it has been
decided to place water engineers at
Fort George, in the Quesnel district
and on the line of the P. & G. E.
railway.
"Engineers have been appointed to
the important districts an 1 selected
for the northern work that the general Held work might proceed without
Interruption, assistant engineers have
also been appointed in several districts. Through this arrangement the
district engineer is available at any
time to investigate a record or licence, or hold a hearing on nn application by the direction of the Comptroller. He is particularly available
to the small water user for 'advice,
assistance and the settlement of disputes, and at the same time to report to the Comptroller of Water
Rights ln the administration of his
district. When formerly it was a
hardship to many applicants to appear either before the water recorder
or the comptroller at Victoria, it
now is a comparatively easy and inexpensive mnl ter for him to refer
any question for decision.
"The field work of the past two
years has been chiefly confined to
making surveys and plots of land
appurtenant to water records. In
order that the Board of Investigation
should this season be in a position
to make prompt adjudications, the
preliminary field of work has
again been confined to surveys appurtenant to such records, and in
such districts as, in the discretion of
the board, merited, their first attention. Their work is now well advanced, and the attention is being devoted to lines of work that will pus
sees a permanent value. These lines
of work are as follows:
"1. Systematic and continuous work
in stream measurements.
"2. The prevention of wasteful use
of water.
"3. Policing of streams.
"4. Ecomomic distrib ition and
delivery of water.
"5. Inspecting water systsms to
determine their efficiency and safety.
"6. Determining storage possibilities. . ,
"V. Drivability of stream for
timber.
"8. Study of the proper duty of
water.
"9. Investigation of water powers.
"In general tlio work as outlined
will embrace collection of data and
such public supervision as will result in full utilization of thc water
resources of the province, and to
this end tlio Water Rights Branch is
slowly, but surely overcoming outstanding difficulties."
Mr. Boss finishes his Bpecch by a
reference to the personnel of thc
Water Rights Branch, which, as introduced by him, ia evidently made
up of a most efficient number, of officers,

U been placed by the government, in
isoners' box, another chapter in
■iestory of one of the most exciting
„8n-hunts in the history of British
jolumbia opened in the assizes court
esterdny noon.
The last witness to be examined at
...rday's session, J. D. Boyd, of 70-
leHouse, on the Cariboo road, posi-
-jvsly identified Paul Spintlum, tlieVc-
■s the man that run from be-
log after Constable Kindness
been wounded, all the witnesses of
;he killing, including Boyd, having tes-
ilied that the shots came from that di-
■ection.
Witness stated that he had personals' known the prisoner for fourteen
iears, also he knew the accused's fam-
j», Upon being i rosa-exaidned by Mr.
mart Henderson. ;:-ting for the ac-
lused, the witness si ill persisted in his
lositive identification of the aceused.
Boyd testified that he had started
mt with the posse as soon as Constable
indness had been notified by Charles
'raman, a rancher, where the outlaws
'ere located. They tracked the In-
lians from their last camp and had
roceeded but a short distance when a
ot rang out. Boyd was riding be-
een Kindness and Loring when, as
ie first shot was fired, Kindness cried,
'Oh, you beggar," .ind fell from his
lorse.
,oring, who had sprung from his
lorse, and was making for shelter of
imo kind, was shot in the arm, while
•itness made for a place of safety be-
fnd another tree as a third shot rang
He looked in the direction from
hence the shots were coming and saw
ie muzzle of a gun and about IS
idles of the barrel protruding over
e edge of a log, also he saw the top
a cap much as the accused is alleged
have worn at the time. He then
'ted the accused making for some
iiek timber, and being but 23 paces
■om him, got a good look at the Irian.
Later while they were taking the
•M officer to Clinton, witness stated
iat shots were again heard, and bul-
jta whizzing close to them. He defined how next day he went back to
e scene of the shooting and two emp-
cartridge shells were found behind
«*og, one being a 32 special and the
.her 130-30.
W Stuart Henderson, for the de-
lns*. asked witness whether he could

Nonstable was killed, Witness atv*
wed, "Yes." In answer to wheth-
"«had done so, witness stated that

not consider an , inquest as serious
a criminal trial. Besides, he said
