The Prinee- Rupert Optimist !���������. tC'^mmL'., 1 wk ���>. (.. DAILY EDITION )L. I, NO. 93 Prince Rupert, B.C., Monday, August 22, 1910. Price, Five Cents UR WILFRID ADDRESSES OPEN AIR MEETING ver a thousand residents of Prince Jpeit and district gathered in front the Provincial Government buildings sterday to hear Sir Wilfrid Laurier \d his distinguished associates deliver ���sir addresses and also to extend to lose gentlemen a hearty welcome. was Citizen's Day and the citizens bended their welcome, the formality hich marked the Saturday reception |en the formal addresses were pre- nted was abandoned. The crowd, which sat and stood on L beautiful planked lawn in front of ie Government Buildings, was largely imposed of the fair sex who are always rominent in doing honor to Canada's ���eat sons. The sixty school children ho were in charge of and trained by lof. Kaufman, were present and debited the Premier with their singing Hon. William Templeman Tells What He Has Done For His Constituency While in Parliament.��� Singing by the School Children. of the National Anthem and the Maple Leaf. It was just shortly after three o'clock when Canada's Premier with his associates arrived at the Government Buildings in company with Mayor Stork. They had been on a trip up the river by train, returning via the steamer Skeena which also ran them over to the beautiful village of Metlakalta. Sir Wilfrid was much impressed with the natural beauty of Prince Rupert's surroundings. IVERLAND FROM EDMONTON Railway Men Arrived on the Steamer Operator. lessrs. Kelliher, Stewart and Lewis | Made a Successful Trip���Contracts j Connecting Edmonton and This (Town to be Let This Fall. f Chief Engineer Kelliher, Mr. Lewis, tandson of Mr. Schrieber, and Mr. (tewart, of Foley, Welch & Stewart, ���rived on the steamer Operator yester- |jy afternoon to spend a few days in rince Rupert. They have just come trough thz overland route from Edmon- bn following the G. T. P. right of way. the trip was a long one but it was made good time and travelling was as !omfortable as possible and every day roduced something new so that the arty did not suffer from monotony. Mr. Stewart made an inspection of Foley, Welch & Stewart's contract from Edmonton four hundred miles west, and (then from Fort George to Prince Rupert. The contracts are both getting along (very favorably, but there is a shortage of men in every camp. The labor is not in the country and can not be procured. Several thousand more men are required and would be paid the highest wages. At Fort George the party were joined by Mr. Van Arsdol who accompanied them to town. So far as their trip and its object was concerned the party had nothing to say. They will await the arrival of the general manager, C. M. Hays and party next week. The eastern contract of Foley, Welch & Stewart will have reached the summit this fall and the western contract is getting on towards Aldemere. The right of way is cleared that far now. There are only four hundred miles left between the Edmonton contract and the Prince Rupert contract and that work will be given out this fall. It is a heavy stretch of country, very much like this end, although the heaviest work of all is the first hundred miles from Prince Rupert. The supplies for the connecting link will be taken up the Fraser River by boat, the same as the supplies are taken up the Skeena, and the contractors on that line will have to rush the construction of steamers this winter to be ready for the spring work. Mayor Stork was chairman on this occasion and before introducing the speakers he said in part: "This is indeed a red letter day in the History of Prince Rupert. We are honored by the visit of Sir Wilfrid Laurier, Premier of the Dominion, and the party of distinguished statesmen who are with him, including two cabinet ministers and our own member, Hon. Wm. Templeman. We are glad to welcome them in our midst and glad to welcome our Premier whose policy of progress is responsible for Prince Rupert being on the map and for the construction of the G. T. P. railway. "Prince Rupert is a fortunate city as she is enjoying the best of government in the Dominion, the Province and in the municipality. We are also fortunate in having one of the four known harbors of the world into which boats of the largest type can enter and anchor at any stage of the tide. In future this city will never ask the government for money to deepen the harbor. We will want a great deal for buildings and improvements. "We give our guests a right royal | welcome and I predict that the first train over the new railway will take a deputation from Prince Rupert that will take Ottawa by storm." Hon. William Templeman said: I am highly gratified to be in Prince Rupert on the first visit of the Premier of Canada to this new western metropolis. I feel honored in being the representative of a constituency which is of such a vast extent as Comox-Atlin, and I am pleased that the minister of railways, Mr. Macdonald and Mr. Pardee have come to see this northern district I have the honor to represent. Probably after having returned to the east the size, the newness and other features of the country will remain in their memories and they will grasp the need we have for development of better transportation, better postal facilities, and other "betters" the government may accord to us when thus acquainted with our necessities. I have not the slightest doubt they will take a deeper and more intelligent interest in our affairs, and help us to get those smail things the people of Prince Rupert ask of their representative. You did me the honor of electing me by acclamation less than two years ago and I have striven to do my best to represent you in the city of Ottawa. (Cheers). At the time of my election a certain memorandum of requests were handed to me, and 1 thought they were of such a nature I could venture to promise them all. 1 think all these matters have been completed to your satisfaction or are on the way to completion. I have not had any additional requests presented to me, but should there be any you should not miss this opportunity but bring them forward before I leave here this evening. You asked me for a wireless station and you have obtained one of the best in the country. You asked for a reduction of telegraph rates. I believed this to be a proper thing and I obtained it for you. Then we also have lighthouses all the way to Victoria, buoys, (CONTINUED ON PAGE 7.) WALLACE WIPED OUT BY FIRE Was Busy Town of Five Thousand Inhabitants. Forest Fires Swept Down From Every Point of the Compass.��� Smoke so Dense That Electric Light* Burned On in Daytime. Spokane, August 22.���The town of Wallace, Idaho, which has a imputation of five thousand people, is believed to have been completedy wiped out by forest fires. They swept down upon it from all four sides and when the telegraph poles were burned down and all wire connections was cut off there were fifty fires raging in different streets and the few buildings left were being dynamited with the hope of checking the advance of the flames. Special trains held in readiness took most of the women and children and no loss of life has so far been reported. All day yesterday the smoke was so dense that early in the morning the electric light had to be turned on. At nine o'clock last night the fire chief ordered all the people out of town. Half an hour later all the electric lights were out and left the city in darkness, all the poles having been burned. The whole town was at that time ablaze. It is expected that all the people got out safely. The towns of Mullen and Newport are also surrounded by forest fires and reported to be doomed. Spokane, August 22, 12.30 p.m.���It is now estimated that at least one hundred perished in the forest fires that destroyed Wallace and other Idaho towns. One hunderd and eighty, mostly firefighters, are hemmed in and reported as missing. The loss in buildings is over a million dollars. Taking refuge in the tunnel of the War Eagle Mine fifty men were caught there. They buried their faces in the mud while the flames burned the clothing from their backs. Five were smothered to death. Many were driven mad by the heat and may not recover their senses. In this city there have already arrived three thousand refugees from the burned city, many of them in the night clothes in which they < lALMOST HALF A MILLION DOLLARS IS THE SUM PAID FOR TIMBER LIMITS Nearly half afmillion dollars has been paid for 2,000,000,000 feet of timber in northern British Columbia and adjacent to Prince Rupert This immense deal which is the largest timber deal ever handled in the north country was put through by Messrs. Leonard and Reid, real estate brokers and timber limit brokers of Prince Rupert. The purchasers are Eastern Canada and English cajKtalists headed by Wm- Gamble, barrister, of Ottawa, Ont. The owner was A. F. Sutherland, of Van. couver, a millionaire lumber merchant, who is probably one of the largest operators in the Dominion. Highest Grade Timber This sale involves ninety-three limits which are situated on the Naas and K.itsumkalum rivers. The property is described by the expert cruisers who went over it as the finest body of compact timber to be found anywhere in British Columbia. The timber consists of red cedar, spruce, larch and western pine. It stands well on all the limits. The pedar, especially, is of the highest grade on the entire Pacific coast. Most of it runs absolutely clear, for 60 feet without a blemish or a limb and the trees hold their size from the trunk up. Some trees that have been measured have been found to be 40 feet in circumference at the stump and standing 60 feet without a limb. The spruce is also very high grade and stands well. It is very tall and clear, running 80 to 100 feet to the first limbs and in some cases clearing the remarkable height of 125 feet without a branch or blemish. . The larch is a beautiful wood and is very tall and clear, running on an average of 100 feet to the first limbs, and averaging about 5,000 feet per tree. The western pine is much the same quality and stands well on an average of three feet across the stumps and 48 feet to the limbs with very little taper. Cause of the Growth This immense tract of high grade timber is attributed to the fact that the valleys in which it is found have a southerly and westerly aspect and are thoroughly protected from all winds and enriched from the deports washed Sown the sides of the very high mount- ans, and also to the fact hatches between the wet and dry belts and has the benefit of both the warm sunshine "Inf total' quantity of first grade TWO BILLION FEET TIMBER Purchased in the Naas and Kitsumkalum Valley. Leonard and Reid Successfully Interest Eastern Canada and English Capital.���Will Erect $200,000 Lumber Mill in Prince Rupert. timber is placed at 1,584,000,000 feet. There are also 500,000,000; feet of second class timber. Erect Milling Plant The plans of the new owners of these 93 timber limits involves the erection of a milling plant which will cost $200,- 000 and will employ at least 200 men with another 100 men in the woods taking out the logs. It will be one of Prince Rupert's first and largest industries and will place the G. T. P. terminal city in a new light before the world. There is no doubt about the plant coming to Prince Rupert if it is possible to raft logs down the Skeena at a reason able figure. This problem is being looked into as there are some who say that rafting on the Skeena is not possible while others are just as emphatic in stating that the big river is very favorable. If the plant is not built here it will be erected at the mouth of the Kitsumkalum river, and this city will get nearly as much benefit. The Market The new lumbering company will get their big plant under way as early as possible. They will cater to the trade of Prince Rupert and northern British Columbia first. They will also cater to the trade of the Orient and Alaska and many big ships will load at the Prince Rupert docks with lumber and timber grown almost within the city's limits. Conditions Favorable The conditions for logging and carrying on the lumber business are much more favorable in this northern district than in Washington, Oregon or Southern British Columbia. In the valley of the Naas and Kitsumkalum rivers there is a fall of only 25 inches of rain from March to December, and only 30 inches snow in January and February, and there are some hard frosts during the latter months which are particularly favorable to logging. On the whole, the proposition looks the most promising of any on the coast. How It Was Done It will be interesting to learn how Messrs. Leonard and Reid, two young men, were able to get next to such a large deal and put it through successfully. Last winter when H. M. Leonard was in Ottawa on business he was commissioned by Wm. Gamble, representing Canadian and Old Country capital, to look up a large timber property upon his return to Prince Rupert. Mr. Leonard investigated several properties on the mainland and on Vancouver Island and chose these 93 limits on the Naas and Kitsumkalum rivers as the best thing he had seen for many a long day. Upon his submitting the details of the tract of valuable timber to the prospective buyers they were at once approved and an option was taken immediately from the owner, A. F. Sutherland, of Vancouver, and a telegram was received yesterday by Mr. Leonard that the deal wi'i completed and the first instalment paid over in cash, representing about 25 per cent, of the purchase price. The purchase price was $490,000. -a THE PRINCE RUPERT OPTIMIST LINDSAY'S CARTAGE and STORAGE G. T. P. Tranafer Agenta Orders promptly filled. Prices reasonable. OFFICE-H. B. Rochester.

Monday, Aug. 22 HOMEWARD BOUND The Premier's tour into the west has reached its objective point in Prince Rupert. This evening the party starts on its homeward journey, taking with them their first impressions of the new west and the new city. While we are all proud of our infant city and its phenominal progress we trust that the visitors in comparing it with the older western towns and the aged cities of the East will make due allowance for the handicaps under which we labor. It is hard for the Easterer to overcome the custom of daily looking out on paved streets and mammoth buildings, but we can offset that prejudice by the promise that on their next visit we will have better streets than those in the East. The present tour of the Premier is probably the greatest trip ever undertaken by a political leader in Canada. He is accompanied by a wisely selected number of friends and colleagues���men who can meet and cope with the many different problems and elements which the party must necessarily contend. The tour has been a great success politically for the leader of the Liberals. The fact that 18 newspaper men accompany the party, representing the leading papers from ocean to ocean, is an evidence of the development of country and public interest in the trip. PRINCE RUPERT WEATHER Every visitor to Prince Rupert talks weather. They seem disappointed if it does not rain, and they imagine that the laughing comments of the citizens is the spirit of optimism, while as a matter of fact it is simply a pitying contempt of their misunderstanding. While so many visitors seeking for information are in the city possibly a few statistics would be acceptable, although local people dislike them. In the month of July we had 16 clear days, 7 days of light showers and 8 days rainy weather. The maximum temperature was 81 degrees. The total rain fall was 4.50 inches. For the first 19 days of August we had 12 clear days, three days of showers and 4 days of rain. The total precipitation was 1.40 inches. At no time does the temperature take the violent jumps it does in the East. The average in about 60 degrees in the summer. The finest weather comes in the winter when the ther- momeoter averages a few degrees of frost, and never touches zero; the sun shines every day and the whole winter produces only a few inches of snow. l^^^%fc��iyiVa^a��l'��i��laaaJ��tiaa��<'��ij��%��%��iii% presented to Sir Wilfrid, the Proud of Prince Rupert "I need not tell you how it was with anxiety that I started on this journey, the end of which was Prince Rupert. (cheers) It was because I think I can claim that in the building of this city the government of which I am the head has had some considerable share in it. It is the last great work we have undertaken and will possibly be our last achievement in the endeavor to rivet together all our country, from the teran'diplomsthwiMacheeiv'word Atlantic t0 the Pacific- and ala�� the, great empire of which we are proud of being a part, (cheers) "I am surprised to see so large a gathering here and that you have such a population already; a population not all. Then a move was made for i government buildings. Presentation of Addresses After a number of introductions, to of which Sir Wilfrid responded in pat seemed to be a customary cheery lu'iner, the mayor, without any preface lead the address of the city which was primed jn Saturday's issue, referring hculentally to the address on the scroll V mooseskin which the premier had |lready examined and admired. The mayor next introduced Mrs. f-ffiert, who read the address of the J!��ighters of the Empire, of which she 1 '-he president. Following this the mayor expressed ���jhe regrets of the city that Lady Laurier Vus not present in a gallant manner and "eat, brief speech, and tendered the dutiful album containing a wonderful Collection of Prince Rupert wild flowers hade by Mrs. Craig. The album was Presented on behalf of the city as a |oken of the high esteem in which Lady '���mrier is held by the citizens. Monsieur Segouin was next called coming from the body to which she belongs, of the bond which binds us together: that we are all subjects of His Majesty King George the Fifth, (cheers) It is our wish and pleasure to proclaim ourselves British subjects because we know, as British subjects, that British institutions are the best ever designed by man for all races, (cheers) It guarantees to all an equal share of freedom, of justice and of tolerance, (renewed cheers) Though Not of British Blood "To the men of French origin who are British subjects: It is with me a sentiment of pride that though myself not of British blood I have been a blessing to the race to which I belong by at all times proclaiming the superiority of British institutions. Under these the men of all races and nationalities, and our friends the aborigines I we have with us today, all must feel that they have that full measure of freedom and of justice which is the j pride of the British crown. The word of the Crown is sacred, and the rights of all will be protected by the government of the land, (cheers) The Tribute to Lady Laurier "In regard to the other address that has been presented I must say how much I appreciate the kind words and the kindly gift to my wife (cheers) whose health did not permit her to I accompany me as far as Prince Rupert, i In her day she was a good soldier, when I went she came; and if in the j same condition of health as I am myself she would be by my side today. But I am sorry to say she has grown old and you know that is a great mistake. But I hope no one will blame me for that. It is the unfortunate fate of us all. "It will be my great pleasure and' happiness to convey to her these senti- ments expressed by you on her behalf, and this token of your kindly regard to find from your address that you are for her. (cheers) as proud of that title as I myself am. He Speaks In French Therein lies the beauty and strength of "Will you permit me to again recall British institutions.

When He Comes Again "The hope has been stated that as I come now I will come again. I cannot hope to come very often. There are many years upon my head, as you can language of that address: I Rupert and British subjects," resumed "People of my own race and tongue," I Sir Wilfrid in English. "Once more I said Sir Wilfrid in French, "I thankl beg you to receive the expressions of you for the address with which you! my gratitude for this reception, and my have presented me and the warm senti ments you have therein expressed so felicitously. But though of my race I address you as British subjects, pleased | you." regrets that I cannot express them to the extent I feel them; but such as they are in my heart I give them to and a kiss. In face of the big mooseskin on which was burned the civic address, he said in his cheerful way: "Mr. Mayor, that is an address of which I am proud. I shall hang it in my parlor at Ottawa and whenever you come to see me I shall point to it with pleasure." And talk about there not being sufficient police to manage so large a crowd! Sir Wilfrid will never know there was not a hundred police unless some one tells him. Nothing so universally courteous was ever seen in so large assemblage. It demonstrated that progress in civilization to which every man becomes a peace officer unto himself. Prince Rupert crowds are certainly the limit in good behavior and civic pride. f k o rt ft n >- t ', il ���e d I, y, ���e r. i- !. e ���r ���r e i. o j ii 'Mr-Slftla,- '���*&��.

LM.REES THE PRINCE RUPERT OPTIMIST PREMIER ADDRESSES OPEN AIR MEETING CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 nd so on, and I believe navigation in l,js inland water was never as safe as t'the present. We are going to build quarantine station here and my friend Mr. Fisher, the minister of inland reunite, is to establish a marine station here. He will have an agent here before long. You are being dealt with by the gov- nment in the way a young and push- ling city deserves to be dealt with. The brand Trunk, I believe, has given the 'government two corners of what is [known as railway reserve. One will e devoted to post office and custom ouse and the other is for an armoury. rejoice to see that although so young city you already have a militia company, and I commend your patriotism fend enterprise. There is a vote of $50,000 been pass- id to start the work, and you will have public building adequate to the re- uirementa of the city for many years ;o come. The work on this should be- in soon. There is no public necessity ith which the government has to deal ,n regard to which your wishes will not eceive every consideration. 1 desire to know my people better ut I am aware that today you are not ere to listen to your member to but the reat leader of the Liberal party, Sir (ilfrid Laurier. (cheers). Sir Wilfrid Laurier was the next ipeaker and upon rising the premier of anada was greeted with loud and rolonged cheering. In his opening marks he said: "The mayor of your city has stated hat this is a proud day for Prince Rupert mt I say that it is a much prouder day lor the man now standing before you. uring the sixty years of my life I ave not had a moment when I have ad more right to feel proud than on his occasion. For here I am today in lie city which is the direct result of he policy of which I am the father.tring- ig applause). "Five years ago Prince .upert was not even a geographical ame. But today it is a young city of energy and with the glow of youth nd youthful optimism. I pray that od may prosper this city; not only tor the sake of Prince Rupert alone, iul [or the good which must naturally nsue to the rest of the Dominion. have come here as a pioneer to the ity in its infancy, but my one hope is flat I may be spared for three years j nger, for at the end of that period of '.ime the railway will have been com- )ted from ocean to ocean and then Bhall with great pleasure again visit rince Rupert to view the change which he next couple of years are bound to roduce. "You have faith and hope in it, and thank you for it. For when this policy f i he trancontinental was brought for-1 ard there were many croakers with all 'iris of proposed reasons why the policy 'ould not be a success. It has been ven said by some of the opposition j hat the Grand Trunk Pacific would) u very expensive proposition, ha as long as money was not care- wly wasted, and the result is for the people and in the best interests of the Dominion) expense should not be a Weans of balking it. The Grand Trunk is going to be one of the great enterprises of the 20th century and as such It is my honor to have my name connected Mh it at its foundation. "One of the chief advantages which the new transcontinental has, is thc fact that it has rolled back the map of the country by at least 1000 miles. Beyond the mountains on the Pacific Coast are lands which for agricultural wealth cannot be equalled by tho best fields of the i".rlhwest. "Another reason to be proud of the I Grand Trunk Pacific is that it is the best line on the continent. Prince Rupert claims to have one of the best harbors in the world. The chairman has "aid that it was one of the four best, but 1 take exception to this statement, for he did not even mention the harbor of Quebec. I think, however, that Prince Rupert's harbor is the equal of that of; the capital of the French province, and j that it is destined to to be the last of the great harbors of the world. "I have never had any doubt of the ' final outcome of the policy of the government, but I have been anxious to see with my own eyes the work which has been done. From what I have seen of this city and my tours around it during the last two days, I have now no doubt that Prince Rupert is destined to be one of the great cities of the continent! (applause). Not only from the fact' that here is the terminus of the great transcontinental, but also from the! great commanding position which nature has given her. "She is the shortest route from Europe to the Orient. The trade with the Orient is bound to enormously increase during the next few years. The chief reason which contributes to this is the fact that the population of the Orient, j consisting of untold millions, has been dormant, but now the great nations of China and Japan are awakening from their long sleep of centuries and getting into the western civilization." Sir Wilfrid went on to show what might be our prospects for developing a trade in articles of our manufacture which are now unused by the Orientals. He cited the case of tea, which is now used on every table from the hut of the poor to the palaces of the rich. It was found in all Oriental countries and 200 years ago brought to Europe and was made a staple article of that commerce. Rice was now the staple food of the Oriental countries but it did not contain half as much nourishment as does wheat. As was the case with the working up of the tea trade, so might the wheat be introduced into the Orient, and thus a greater commerce than ever would spring up from this port. He could forsee the day when the export of wheat from both Vancouver and Prince Rupert harbors would necessitate the erection of gigantic elevators at both ports, not only for the Oriental trade, but also for the trade with the continent of Europe. With one exception Prince Rupert, he said has been the first city which he had come upon during his present tour, which has not asked for many appropriations from the Ottawa Government. He had heard it stated, however, that there were fifteen lights needed on the route up from the Island. "Well," said Sir Wilfrid," if the people of Prince Rupert want those fifteen lights the government of Canada is rich enough to give them to you." "The tour of the Dominion has been one of the greatest revelations to both myself and my colleagues. We have met men of all nations, and yet have found none dissatisfied with their lot in the Dominion. For it is here that all men are brothers. Here it is we find institutions the superiors of which cannot he found in any other part of thc world. We do not live in a republic, but under a crowned monorchy, and it is under this we find the truest freedom. I left the East two months ago and now have reached the last settlement of the west and here, just as much as any of the Owing to a break in the machinery of the Optimist shop, yesterday's issue had to be cancelled. To-day we are putting out an extra newsy paper as a recompense for the great anxiety the public exhibited yesterday because the Optimist did not appear at the usual hour. prouder places on my route have I found that energy, activity, enterprise and brotherly spirit, which is the only means of building up this great country, in a larger degree than elsewhere. "The east is not jealous of the west. Your success is our success, your prosperity is our prosperity. I was proud when 1 left the east, but now I am prouder than ever. I was an optimist when I left Ottawa, but now I am an enthusiast." E. M. MacDonald, M. P. for Pictou, spoke generally of the transcontinental railway and the obstacles that were placed in the way of the government taking up the project by members of the opposition. Members of the Conservative party had opposed it as a wild dream, but men of that stamp, he was pleased to say, did not dominate the Conservative party. But the Liberal leader had the keen vision to see all that this great railway meant in the development of Canada as a nation, and the nation would applaud him when the people shook hands in congratulation from the Atlantic to the Pacific over what would be the shortest line from sea to sea across this continent. Then, when the great leader proposed last year that Canada should have a navy, what did we hear from the gentlemen on the other side. They absolutely went back on everything they had said the year before, and there was not a man in Canada today who could tell where the conservative party stood on the question of a Canadian navy or upon any other national question. In a brilliant elogium of the premier he sketched the rise of Great Britain as a nation, formed by conflicting and alien elements, and said it had been the mission of the premier in taking this tour to preach the doctrine of a greater Canada and to bring all elements into accord upon their allegiance to the British crown. It was to inculcate these grand ideas that the leader had gone all over Canada and one result would be that his belief in Canada, his trust in her glorious I destiny, and his high aims for her future would bring in sympathetic touch the | men of every section and unite them all in his pur|>oses from sea to sea. Hon. George P. Graham, minister of railways, had a good deal to say regarding the women and children. 'I am greatly enamoured of the crop you raise in the West" were his first words, "I see they are waving the British flag. So long as they remain under the flag we can hope to become the greatest nation of the world. They start in right in waving the British flag." He next facetiously remarked upon the scarcity of women, saying there did not seem to be enough to go round. As they sat before him it reminded him of the darky sermon on the day of judgment, when sheep should be segregated on the right hand and the goats on the left. He congratulated the men sitting on his right and commisserated with the men on his left(laughter) He noticed that the ladies wore in Prince Rupert the same sized hats as in other cities they had visited. Therefore he pitied the men on his right and extended his congratulations to the men on his left. But he must say that the woman who left her comparatively palatial home to accompany a man to a new country and put up with the many inconveniences for a time, was a queen in her own realm, and the country owed her much for its consequent development, (cheers). Mr. Graham then gave a description of the great railway, technically touching upon the masterly engineering that had reduced the grade so that one locomotive upon it was able to haul double what it could on any other railway, and sketching the country between here and Moncton, N. B. It was a mistake, he said, to say so much of this railway to de- velope the West only; it would develope the two provinces of New Brunswick and Quebec, and the product of those two old provinces, after the completion of railway, would astonish the world. The completion of the road would mean a reduction of freight rates because more could be hauled cheaper on this road than any other and because it was the shortest route from sea to sea. But it was not the railway alone that had led to this trip. They desired to find out the needs of the people of the west, so that they would better be able to legislate wisely for them. They were working out on this northern half of the continent the destinies of a great nation. "We are a young nation, and if our young men of the west will do their duty and stand shoulder to shoulder the west will not only be the pride of Canada but the envy of the world." The school children then sang the national anthem and cheers were given for the king and for Sir Wilfrid. The premier and his party were then escorted to the Prince George, where they held informal receptions until the steamer pulled out shortly after eight o'clock, amid rousing cheers. Owing to the early hour of leaving the smoker to be given by the Liberal party in the Empress theatre had to be abandoned. SPIRIT OF THE WEST Extracts From the Speech of the Premier Saturday Evening Entertained by Wanderers The Hon. Geo. P. Graham, Hon. Wm. Templeman, Senator Bostock, Senator Gibson, Senator Roy, Mr. Pardee and several other members of the Premier's party, were entertained at the Wanderers' Club informally on Sunday evening and on Monday afternoon. The guests intimated that Prince Rupert's social attractions had progressed about as rapidly as its more practical development. It would be a very sorry fellow who would not be jolly with such before me. I have no reason to find fault with life. I have good' health and better spirits. I have been accused of being an optimist and I have never denied the impeachment, I will be a greater optimist when I get home. The air of the west is infectious, and I have caught some of the atmosphere. I believe in the country more than I did five weeks ago. I believed in it seven years ago when I brought forth the project of the national transcontinental. A strong nation should not be bound by one railway and now I believe there is business for a third transcontinental. British Columbia in itself could make, a great country. Its fisheries, its minerals and its lumber might employ millions. It is sufficient for a kingdom in itself but its policy should be to expand to the Atlantic. We want to bind our country the West with the East and the East with the West. The G. T. P. is the first link in that policy. I want to see the completion of the G. T. P. Nothing could give me more gratification. It will be completed in two or three years at the most. The West is strong and enthusiastic You are all Napoleons; you do not think anything is impossible. This is the spirit in which I meet you. Meet the Council R. Brutinel of the Tsimpsean Light and Power Co will appear before the city council tonight and outline the plans of the company. As stated in these columns last week the Tsimpsean Light and Power Co intend to get their gas plant under construction at once. Sewer Work Stopped "What's the matter with your gang that they are not working today?" asked the Optimist of contractor MeMordie who is building the sewer. "There is no pipe to go on with," replied Mr. MeMordie. "It has been ordered by the council some weeks I understand but it has not got here yet and I cannot go on with it."

Business Closed Kelly Carruthers Co., Ltd., Prince Rupert's largest mercantile concern, closed its doors for business Saturday night, the balance of their stock of dry goods being sold to Messrs. McCormick and McLaughlin, and the groceries to Lynch Bros. This firm was organized four years ago and is owned by Robt. Kelly of Vancouver, Jas. Carruthers of Montreal, and L. Morrow & Co., Prince Rupert, each owning a one third interest. Mr. Wm. Craig was manager till failing health this summer compelled him to retire and Mr. Wm. Law was appointed to wind up thc business. They carried a very large stock of general merchandise and did a large and profitable business. The building they occupied on Centre street is owned by the G. T. P.

BRITISH SHIP IS FOUNDERED CARRIED A CREW OF NEARLY SEVEN HUNDRED MEN Eighteen Sailors Were Drowned when Cruiser Bedford Foundered near Shores of Corea���Was on Way to Nagasaki with British Squadron. (Special to the Optimist) Seoul, August 22.���The British cruiser, Bedford, foundered last night near Saison Island, off Chemulpo. The Japanese cruiser, Yedo, has gone to the rescue. London, August 22.���Eighteen sailors were drowned when the British cruiser, Bedford, went ashore on Quelport Island, near the coast of Corea last night. The vessel was in command of Captain Fitzherbert and carried a crew of six hundred and eighty-seven men. She was going with the squadron from Wei Hai Wei to Nagaska. The cruisers, Monmouth and Minotaur, attempted to aid her but were driven to sea in the violent gales. MAKE BIG MONEY Growing Strawberries in Lakelse and Kitsumkalum Valleys To the Editor of the Optimist: Dear Sir:-In reference to your article in Saturady's issue re the strawberries in Lakslse valley allow me to say: There is probably no land in Canada that is so rich and so favorable to fruit growing as the Lakelse and Kitsumkalum Valleys. They lie along the G.T.P. railway on both sides of the Skeena river and are just 80 miles east of Prince Rupert. The valleys are about 20 miles wide and 40 miles long and every acre could be put under cultivation and fruit and vegetables grown with great success. A very valuable feature of those lands are that the strawberry season comes on after all the berries in other parts of Canada and the United States are gone and the demand for them will always be greater than the supply and necessarily the price will be the highest. The quality of the fruit grown thus far is much superior to the southern berries and they are firmer and will keep longer. In order to assist the new settlers, the provincial government is establishing experimental farms ih the district and these will be of great assistance and will be watched with interest. The land in those valleys can be had today at from $10 per acre up and in five years it is safe to say, the same land will sell at considerably over $100 per acre. This is the time to get in and purchase land and plant the vines which will return a profit next summer. Yours truly, OLD TIMER.

PLEASED WITH OUR RAILWAY SIR WILFRID AND PARTY GO UP THE LINE Expresses His Satisfaction to General Superintendent Mehan in High Terms���Came Back by Steamer. In response to the invitation of General Superintendent Mehan and Superintendent McNicholl, on behalf of the Grand Trunk Pacific Company, Sir Wilfrid and all his party boarded the train this morning for a run up the line. Others were invited to join them but Mr. Mehan was unable to make the invitation general, as he would have liked to do, because there was only his own private car and one other car available. The party were taken along the line to a point opposite Port Essington and then to the Iverness cannery, which they inspected. There they became the guests of Foley, Welch & Stewart and took luncheon on the steamer Skeena. Meanwhile the steamer visited Metlakatla and other interesting points in the neighborhood. Sir Wilfrid expressed to Mr. Mehan his supreme satisfaction in riding over the rails of the transcontinental railway the construction of which had been one of the ambitions of his life. Mr. Graham, minister of railways, joined in praising the substantial character of the work and paid both the contractors and the railway company many high compliments. Police Court Prince Rupert has established a new record. Three days of holiday and celebration and not one drunk or criminal of any kind to decorate the police court afterward. Enquiry at the police station at noon today revealed the fact that not a single arrest nor a single complaint had been received since Thursday of last week. This is a great record and Chief McCarvoll and his staff deserve great credit. No doubt the new uniforms of the police had something to do with the good order maintained. Police Uniforms The police appeared at the docks on Saturday afternoon all togged out in their new uniforms and they looked pretty nifty too. The chief only had a hat, trousers and vest. His coat was not finished but will be in a day or two.

There have been complaints, however, that the city officials have not been impartial in apportioning the coal. Some charge that only those who are friendly to the administration are able to obtain fuel from the city's supply.

Sir Wilfrid Laurier was accompanied by D. Sigouin and 0. Besner, as representatives of the French Canadians in Prince Rupert, to High Mass in the Roman Catholic church yesterday morning, where Rev. Father Hartman preached a special sermon. Sir Wilfrid took great interest in the service and was glad to be with people from his native province. After the service an informal reception was held at the priest's house where a number of ladies of the congregation were presented to the premier. After church Sir Wilfrid was accompanied to the New Knox Hotel, which is conducted by 0. Besner and Madame Artaud, to meet the French Canadians at an informal family luncheon. About forty were present and the affair was thoroughly enjoyable. The Premier expressed his pleasure to many and talked to all like an old friend. It was a gathering of the clan with Sir Wilfrid as father, or head of the family. The hotel was very nicely decorated and the dining room was particularly well arranged. The tables were in the shape of a horseshoe and every chair was filled. The menu was well chosen and the good things enjoyed. Rev. Father Hartman opened with prayer. After luncheon D. Sigouin presented the following address:- "Sir Wilfrid Laurier,on behalf of the French Canadians I thank you for the honor of your presence at this little family gathering. Many of us have never met you before. Some have come many miles to have the pleasure of meeting you, and when they return to their homes again they will have the gratification of telling their countrymen that you will carry back to the Province of Quebec the message of our most sincere sympathy and devotion." In reply Sir Wilfrid remarked :-"Rev. Father Hartman and Mr. Sigouin, it is with much pleasure I attend your family gathering on this most cordial occasion, and when I return to my province I will tell my people that in yonder great west there are many French Canadians who have not forgotten their language or devotion to the Empire and their Mother Land. Now, I will ask you as your guest, to fill your glasses, I do not partake of this very often, but I feel obliged to ask you to join me in the toast to our host and hostess." The balance of the luncheon hour was spent in informal chat and when Sir Wilfrid was leaving he expressed his pleasure again at being present and particularly to meet his host and hostess and the French Canadians of Prince Rupert.

P., has been in town for several days and he states that many thousands of tons of hay have been cut and put up in the valleys in the Aldermere district this year and at big prices. There were 3000 tons of timothy alone and there has hardly been a drop of rain all season. But the soil and the climate are very favorable for hay. The same applies to oats. There will be a bumper crop this year, and crops of all kinds will be heavy in the interior. For mixed farming and small fruits there is nothing in the Dominion that can surpass the valleys lying between Prince Rupert and Fort George. The farmers who are now there will make big money although they are still clearing their land and in most districts would not even expect any returns at such an early stage. Another year or two will see a big increase in the population of the fertile valleys.
