They point out that |fc government is entitled to every fti.th lot in the townsite and demand Tal this rule apply to the waterfront well as the remainder of the town- ,e. [when the trouble first loomed up, fev> ral government officials went up Prince Rupert to look over the mnd and attempt a settlement, in lis latter tbey failed. The railway fecials were stubborn.

Tbe lire broke out at midnight on the 14th in a shack near the hotel. By tbe time the town was aroused several other shacks and the marble cutting workshop, owned by George Rudge, bad taken fire from the flying sparks. The fact that it was high water at the time alone saved the majority of the buildings in the town, Including the new hotel, which took tire in several places, but was saved without serious injury by the proprietor and a bucket brigade. A mysterious case is occupying the attention of the city police. The Lulu Island bridge was found open in a unexplained way on Wednesday evening, and since then a gasoline launch has been discovered missing. About 11 p, ni., a man started to walk across tbe bridge from the island side, and when he reached the draw span, to bis surprise, it was partly open, at least to the width of the floor. Thinking that some accident had perchance befallen the bridge tender, W. Furness, he went back to the caretaker's house, and aroused the occupants, only to find that the bridge had been left closed. A man thoroughly familiar with the circumstances can use a. wrench with which to operate the bridge. The sequel to this incident transpired last evening. Some time since a man going to the north left in the custody of Mr. Furness a gasoline power boat, and this was moored at a point where only the high tide could reach it. The engines had been taken off tbe launch and placed in a cabin adjoining. This was broken into and the engines removed. The boat is gone, and there is no trace of the party responsible. The police have a theory that the bridge may have been purposely opened to dela^ and even endanger anyone attempting a rescue from the city side. High tide in the river was at 1:30 a. m. Thursday morning. Owing to the interval between the two incidents, which now appear to have some connection, the difficulty of tracing the culprit is increased. There Is nothing in the cabin to offer a clue.

New Wheat Is Found to Yield 280 Bushels to Acre Dayton, July 23.���The discovery of, a now variety of wheat on the Hog- eye ranch of W. W. Ward, seven miles south of here, which, it is claimed, if cultivated, will yield 280 bushels per aero, has aroused intense interest among farmers of this section, and local plantologlsts are working on its classification. An Interesting feature of the species is the head, which really consists of seven distinct heads, united at a common bas<2. Local growers believe thai if the cereal is found adapted to cultivation, wheat can be made to yield seven times as much as ordinary wheat. Hon. John Brining has also found some of the wheat growing on his ram ' Death of D. A. Cameron. Duncan .\lexander Cameron, a miner of Greenwood, and formerly a resident -of this city, died on Tuesday as the result of an accident in a mine in which he was working towards the latter part of tfcx? previous week, Mr. Cameron sustaining a broken leg and internal injuries.

He wa* a native of Cape Breton, N. S., but had been in the West for many years. The :tuneral arrangements are being carried out by W. E. Fales, of Ak__ps street. There was a very large attendance at the band concert at Albert Crescent last evening, and the conductor. J. W. Rushton, had been able to ge. together a much better aggregation o players than on the previous Jhurs day. There were eighteen instru ments, and the program was of a mciv interesting character, but it must bt remembered in explanation that on. the previous occasion the conductor had to hold the baton and play cornet throughout the concert as well. W. Morris was again the vocaUst. He sang "Love Me and the World is Mine" very creditably, and G. Malone played a trombone solo, "When the .Moon Plays Peek-a-Boo." The orchestral pieces included two fine marches, "Father of Victory," and "Western Girl." Another piece of march music rendered was a grand march of'Michel Costa. Other features were; Waltz. "Sweet Remembrance," and intermezzo, "La Rose" (Langley); overture, "Lutspiel" (Ke- la Bela); and characteristic. "Silver- Heels." Owing to the Citizens' picnic next Thursday, the concert will take place- some other evening, probably Wejuesv- day or Friday.

"Thirty feet to tne gulf." . anil Boyce on the minister of justice, Mr. Aylesworth, on account of a defect in his hearing, from which he has unfortunately been suffering for some time.

Common decency, even to an opponent, would have dictated a sympathetic reference, if reference must be, to the worst calamity that can overtake a public man, instead of the course Messrs. Foster and Boyce took, that of bitterly reproaching a man for being the victim of slicl. a calamity and demanding his resignation therefor. Bad taste are not the Saxon words wiiich the deplorable incident calls for, and it is a wonder to us that when Mr. Leighton McCarthy sharply took the miscreants to task j for their action, he could keep within the range of adjectives allowed on the floor of the House. What both of them needed was a sound drubbing at the,. - hands of an able-bodied man. If they ^M were here ln the west they both would ] ***��� get well ! Justice. Sir Wilfrid Laurler's rebuke, couch-1 ���d in words selected with a "finesse" and delivered with quiet dignity, will long be remembered by the members present, but the culprits have descended beyond that state where they could I benefit by the true import of his scathing denunciation. The halls of Legislature should never re-echo anything which could not be said by friend to friend, and no matter how strenuous i the debate, personal abuse should be entirely absent, and as history re-1 cords, the greatest statesmen, though I opposing each other in politics on j .principle, have yet been very close friends, and we hope the incident will never again be repeated in Canada or that the offenders in this instance | will come West.

We need not be afraid to use the word "nation" in regard to tlie Dominion of Canada. It does not imply a separate or a dissoluble relation. It is the only word that expresses maturity, growth, the power on the part of this Imperial "Jeune premiere" to live and act and earn her national way; and nothing but good can come from the dignity and the pride of historic progress which will be the outcome of a celebration at which the Heir Apparent to the Crown of Great Britain and of the Empire will be the ���central figure. He will be welcomed as much by the French-Canadians as! by the English-Canadian, nnd I fancy | that the celebration will, in a sense, do more for the English-Canadian than for the French-Canadian. It will I teach him more, it will help him j more. The French-Canadian has had to think in two languages for two generations; he has had to think, through the atmosphere of his own history, language, and descent, in terms of British administration and ideals English-Canadian, more practical, and less lived a more selfish, centered life until late years.

Judging from my experience, cats. when living near water, are generally fond of fishing. I have personally knows three feline fishers. One was a mere acquaintance aud used to fish Ic a trout stream. Thc other two lived with tss and during the sum me. months used to fish ln the late nearly every evening. They would crouch ot the shore aud suddenly Jump into at advancing wavelet very Crequentl; bringing out a small Bib. Wheu they had kittens. I have sometimes seer them bring up to the house three flab lu the space of an hour. I know of a cat, whose home wns in Westmorland, close to a stream, that ���was a regular and accomplished fisher. She was a half Persian. Her daughter belongs to friends of mine, and 1 have myself seen this latter watching the goldfish in the cb-ldreu's aquarium, which at that time wias open at the top lind on a broad window seat Puss put In one paw and stirred the water violently, then sat down to watch with apparent satisfaction the terror of the fish, which she could not on that occasion reach. Once the family found shi had caught one and killed a second, sc the aquartum was afterward always covered by wire or net. One of this ��Bt's kittens belonged to me and was for her short life of under a year very dependent ou human companionship Rhe came up to my bedroom frequently the first thing In the morning and al ways took great interest in the wash hand basin, from which she would fish out the sponge or soap, and liked to have her paw in the water. She had to be kept out of the bathroom, as more than once she deliberately jumped into the bath wben it had in it a depth of two or three Inches of water. If this daughter and granddaughter of tlie original fisher had lived near water, I think tbe fishing instinct would have developed, as the three generations all showed a fondness for thla element, which cats, as a rule, are scp tweed to avoid.���London Spectator.

A atx foot American who bad s���� cured a "command" to one of tbe Kngllsh royal taveea recently found himself In*** pretty predicament On hla notification paper waa tbe hint that levee dreaa waa tndiapenaa- ble. In Um gulleleae Innocence of bin -SJIemocraUc WMl tbe American took this to mean that frock coat and flhlay shoes would be called for. He was ln tb* *~ tt looking over hie beet oatflt of that nature wben a mora experienced friend called and caught him la the act Tbe friend made haste to Inform tb* misguided Yankee that levee dress involved silk stockings, ruffled sleevee, black _word and other Items. Consternation enaned. It continued to ensue wben owing to bis height and girth no borrowable suit was discovered and no tailor couldibe found who would make one before the next afternoon. At last a stage levee dteas wag rented from Hla Majesty's theater, where It had done duty In "The Last of tbe Dandles." After the levee was over tlie American confessed that be hardly knew what had happened. Wben he reached the palace he was first surrounded by th* yeomen ot the gnard, who started him upstairs with great dispatch. In tbe course of hla progress upstairs the yeomen disappeared, and he found himself ln a lane of tin plated life guardsmen. Again the scene changed, says Town and Country, and there was a lane of royal footmen and next a large room }ilpd to ayerflowi&g with admirals, generals, diplomats, peers, chamber Jains, soldieri |pd sailors of all de- great hMTof^r*��ltta j)kft ��w����& ln levee dress. One by one taiy w'STr singled out and ushered into the royal PJSatBSS JA-tirc ^djoiniw; jo^au ��h��~ ftood the king surrounded by his suit/1 The work of presentation was so rapid that the American found himself out and ln another room before he knew what bad happened. His overcoat was on his bjicl. In the same rapid, mysterious fashion, and the next thing be knew he was outside in the courtyard, hjjt he was actually "presented" and la now* forever Hot fable, or eligible for presentation at any court ln the world, provided he behaves himself. '' -, AU this was preliminary to the presentation of the man's wife and daughter at the drawing aoom. Men are pre- aented at the king's levees, and the women undergo the same ordeal at tbe courts or drawing rooms, which are by Car the more Imposing functions. It In probably no exaggeration to say that every time a drawing room ls held ilm i.ooo ls spent by the people who go to court. ^ None but a very old habitue of the court���and then she Is never below tha rank of a countess���would dream of appearing at court ln a costume that she had worn there before. Tbe item of flowers alone ls one of vast lmpi"*- tance. If It were not for tbe drawing rooms the large florists could not exist Every woman who ls presented goes armed with a bouquet, whose value ia at least a pound, and some of them ar* worth ten times that sum. Then there are tbe bookmakers and the hosiers and the milliners to consider, to say nothing of the people who lend carriages. Suppose there are at a low estimate 500 people on the presentation Hat Of these every mother's daughter has her- sulf photographed In ber court cos- tame, and London court photographers are notorious for their stiff prices. St. James' park on tbe nlgbt of a drawing room Is filled with Londoners who wander up and down tbe double line of carriages stalled ln the mall, peurlng Into the windows and criticising tbe costumes of the matrons and their debutante daughters. It ts a legitimate privilege of the populace tv consider those waiting for presentation , us objects of interest, aud there tlie latter have to sit, some of them oviw ��.. hour, subjected to the gaze of Lou | dou's citizens. You see half a down ; shopgirls flattening their noses against I thtt window of a motor brougham aud I carrying on a rapid Ore conversation | about the dress of milady aud her I daughter Inside. '���Ain't ahe beootiful, Mary Ann?" or "Wot do you think of this un? Ol don't like 'er gown at all." AU this has to be borne with Spartan fortitude so long as there la be rowdyism; but, strange to aay, there never ls. A good many people starve th��� selves for months so that they aod their offspring may have the meaey to enable them to go to court Wiere are many half pay colonels who live In the country whose <_M object Is to come up for a drawing room. Generally thv bsve Influential and wealthy fr_aa_h who make It easy for them ln the matter of lodging ln town and bskd them their horses, carriages and footmen: otherwise tt would be Impossible for them to go. There seems to be a tradition that If a man's daughter bas not been presented at court her way to a successful marriage wlll not be so smooth. That of course Is s fallacy, but the tradition nevor dies, and so people stint themselves and endure endless sacrifices thnt they may put the hall mark oo themnelves and their offsprlif. _ " i ���* - V " i i --V li.. r.j| *i* . ���/Wit' y-m. i ; WA ,, ,'*'-���',.
