The dance was a big success, and was attended by a large 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. we are not fully informed.

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.

Subscription $3.00 a Year iu Advance IP [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- Advcrtising Rales on A;., -ration 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! matter. The Northern Lumher & Mercantile Company I .miu W. F.

Afte: referring at lt.ngth to all the amendments, the Minister of Lands states: "Private capital is, hy the amdnd- ments, not only permitted but in- viter) to taue the initiative in launch ing enterprises in British Columbia. Ye'; thn water users are protected and will eventually own and operate thei: own systems. This' is coming to be the common type of control in the States across the line, where the irrigation enterprises now adopt the plan outlined. Experience has seemed to indicate that perpetual control of systems creates endlees friction hetween companies and water users. "In thu light of the amendments, the southern portion of the province has been divided into districts, the divides and drainage areas being followed in arriving at boundaries. These districts for the present are as follows; Victoria, Nicola, Okanagan, Lillooet and Carihoo, Northeast and Southeast Kootenay, Nelson 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, CANCELLATION OF RESERVE NOTICE is hereby riven thai the h Own your own home!

The last witness to be examined at ...rday's session, J. D.

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.
