Work was immediately resumed on all the lines. Premier Briand takes the credit for breaking the strike by the strong repressive measures and the wholesale arrests of the strike leaders. VERY FINE VEGETABLES Brought Back From Hazelton by Messrs. Law and Benson W. S. Benson and W. M. Law, real estate agents of this city, have returned from Hazelton laden like the Israelites from the land of promise with the fruits of the earth. The exhibit of splendid garden produce in the Law-Butler firm's window is a remarkable one. Turnips, carrots, beans, leeks, and potatoes of superb growth and quality are on view there all grown by A. C. K. Sealey in the garden ground of the Omineca hotel at Hazelton. For the short period of three years Mr. Sealey has cultivated about two acres of land adjoining his hotel, and from the first year he has raised splendid vegetables. The soil is first rate, and the climate perfectly adapted for gardening. Mr. Sealey has this season grown cauliflowers weighing 23 lbs, one of this size was taken by the Inlander down river en route for Vancouver the other day. On the same journey a second fine head of cauliflower weighing 28 lbs. and grown by Mr. Sealy was consumed on board the steamer, and found excellent. Mr. Sealey had intended to send specimens of his garden produce to the agricultural show proposed to have been held in Prince Rupert He has cleared by the sale of vegetables in th ee than tnough profit to pay for the lo s he occupies The interest around Hazelton is principally forjussed on mining, but that the dis rict is also well adap ed for,, he cultivation of the soil is proved by the present ehxibit of produce in the Law-Butler window On their return from Hazelton, W. S. Benson and W. M. Law are enthusiastic regarding the prospects of the district. They were unfortunately prevented from completing their intended trip to Aider- mere owing to the lowness of the water on the river. ROVE SEEMS TO HAVE ROVED » But Is Expected to Reappear Before "Long Harry Rove, an axeman, belonging to the survey party engaged on the Wood- worth Lake water supply work for the city is missing today. It is thought, however, that he will turn up again all right in the course of a few more hours. He had been in the city, and having been a little convivial was rather wilful regarding the way he wanted to return to the camp by the head of the lake. He landed from the launch intending to prodeed to the camp through the bush, and the launchman was unable to persuade him otherwise. Later as he had not returned, a search was made for him but he was not at once discovered. The city engineer's department expects to hear of his reappearance shortly, and very little anxiety is expressed regarding his safety.

CRIPPEN ON HIS TRIAL BOTH OF PRISONERS PLEAD NOT GUILTY Jury Impannelled in Short Order and King's Counael Muir Taking Up Probably Whole Afternoon in Open ing for Crown. LEAVING THE KLONDIKE Leading Law Firm of Pattullo & To- bin Going Out of Busineaa There J. B. Pattullo, a brother of the alderman, arrived here from the North Saturday evening and is looking over the legal field with a possibility of putting up his shingle here. Mr. Pattullo went to Dawson in the early days and for years has had the leading law practice there. At first the firm was Pattullo & Ridley, and in 1903 Mr. Pattullo became crown prosecutor, holding that position until a few weeks ago. In the meantime Mr. Ridley had left and gone into business in Vancouver, and Major Harry Tobin took his place in the firm. He also came out by the same boat as Mr. Pattullo, and will join the firm of Ridley & McCrae of Vancouver. —Mr. Pattullo says he has had some thoughts of coming to Prince Rupert to practice ever since his brother came here, but he does not feel inclined to take hold just at present. He thinks that before doing so he would like to take a trip around the world, as, if he does not take advatnage of the present opportunity, there might not come another for many years. PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH CLUB Opening Takes Place Thia Evening The opening ceremony of the Presbyterian Church Young Men's Club takes place thU evening. There will be a short program and social function with light refreshments, Mayor Stork will occupy the chair, and the pastor, the Rev. F. W. Kerr, will speak upon the purpose of the club. The excellent program of lectures prepared for the coming season should attract all who care to widen the scope of their interests in this city this winter. The aims and objects of this thriving and well supported young men's club need no recommendation. Everyone knows how much such an organization has been needed, and the quick and lively response made to Rev. Mr. Kerr's initial efforts in this direction, proves beyond question how well the club's work will be appreciated. Lord Kitchener Is Appointed London, Oct. 18.—(Special)—Lord Kitchener was this moming appointed a member of the Council on Imperial Defence. (Special to the Optimist) London, Oct. 18.—Dr. Crippen and Miss Le Neve were both in the dock when the trial of the former started at the Old Bailey this morning. The clerk read the long indictment after which the two prisoners were called upon to plead Crippen pleaded not guilty. The impannelling of the jury to try Dr. Crippen was then proceeded with and in a very short time was completed, and by half past one R. D. Muir, K. C, was able to open the case for the crown. This was expected to take up the whole of the afternoon. The court will sit until five thirty each day until the close. Muir's address was calm and he recited the facts of the case only. He told of the intrigue carried on by Crippen while his wife lived, and declared that the presence of the wife was one physical obstalce to his happiness with Le Neve, the lack of means being another. The death of Belle Elmore removed both obstacles. He dwelt on a dinner party at Martinetta's when the couple were apparently on the best of terms. The moment the guests had departed, however, Miss Elmore dropped from the ken of the world; Crippen pawned her jewelry and in his account of her disappearance employed a whole tissue of lies. Mr. Muir then related the story Crippen told Inspector Dew of his flight, and the counsel claimed that it was practically proved that the remains found in the cellar were those of Belle Elmore. Who but Crippen could have had the opportunity to putrthem- there, he asked. Crippen's skill as a surgeon was shown in the very manner in which the remains had bee mutilated. In conclusion the counsel dealt with the prosecution's theory of poisoning by hyoscine, and emphasized the purchase of five grains of the drug by Crippen. If the remains were not those of Elmore he would ask the jury to keep in mind what other explanation was there of the remains being found in that particular place. Mr. Muir spoke for two hours. The first witness called for the crown was Crippen's landlord who stated that Crippen had been his tenant for five years. The reason given for his leaving was the death of his wife. Cross examined by Newton he said prisoner was exceedingly kind hearted to his wife and solicitous for her comfort. All references to Le Neve were cut out by the court. Master of Black Art The Empress theater will have next Friday and Saturday one of the most interesting entertainments of the season. The management has arranged with the well-known Professor Hoyle while on his trip to Vancouver to give a two- night demonstration of his art here, and the dates are now fixed for next Friday and Saturday.

GUSTAVE BERGER Pub. Sept. 7. John Dybhavn, Agent The Provincial Gazette contains notice of the incorporation of the Lakelse Valley Development company with a capital stock of $200,000 divided into 4,000 shared. The company is incorporated with j quite large powers, being authorizied to carry on all kinds of real estate business with power to loan money1 and do general financial, merchantile and manufacturing business. The personel of the company is not | made known through the notice but it is believed that a syndicate of Vancouver men is behind the proposition. The company, judging from certain powers given it, intends to carry on a genera colonization scheme clearing the landl and sub-dividing it for the intending settlers. Another Galena Strike Another strike of galena ore is reported this week and the samples brought into town by the locators look as fine as anything yet found in that line. Five men are interested in the group of claims that have been staked. A. H. Risdale, Gordon Mc- Lellan, John Salt, Fred Foster, and H. B. Thorn. Three ledges have been discovered with a width of two or three feet and all carrying good ore. From town the claims are about thirty- six miles, three miles off the Babine trail, the point where they turn off being about thirty-three miles out. This leaves the new find about eighteen miles from the surveyed line of the railway with a water grade for the entire distance. Mr. Ridsdale is much elated over the discovery and looks to see quite a stir in the locality as the country close by is very promising and there is every reason to expect further locations. this year. There is a deal partially arranged for the sale of a majority interest in the property to a new company and the main object of Mr. Beach's trip this year was to demonstrate the value of the gravel to the engineer reporting on the proposition. A crew of four men was taken in about two months ago and after repairing the flume and emptying the pit of water they shoveled into the sluice boxes for four days, when they cleaned up and recovered $212 in nuggets and coarse gold. This showed the ground to be worth nearly three dollars a yard. Mr. Beach anticipates a favorable report in consequence and if the deal is completed it means that a heavy plant, capable of handling the gravel economically, will be installed next year. Although admitted to be rich the gravel on the Kildare ground never was a poor man's proposition on account of the flat nature of the country. Tailings have to be elevated mechanically and for this purpose an hydraulic lift was installed, but its capacity is too limited to permit of enough gravel being worked to make a commercial success. More water is needed and that will have to be brought a distance of several miles. The recovery last year was about $12,000.

He will remain at Queen's until the close of the first 1911 session. Burn's Storehouse Robbed A storehouse connected with P. Burns & Co.'s establishment at Mission Point was recently broken into and a quantity of provisions stolen amounting to about three hundred dollars in value. When the theft was discovered by the manager the next morning a search for clues revealed some pieces of boxes at the river's edge, indicating that the thieves had made away with their booty by canoe, and when the police were called into the case they had that much to go on. Search by the police brought to light the not wholly obliterated marks - made by a wheelbarrow in the soft earth, and leading from this side of the Bulkley river to the house of P. Brown, a native. When the house was entered the goods were found and in a very short time Peter Brown and Austin Mathews, another Indian, were in jail. They were both held for trial before the county court. Two cases of bacon, one case of hams, one case of butter, one case of lard, part of a quarter of beef, and a saddle, bridle and chaps, the property of Bert Glassey, were some of the articles stolen. Brown will be remembered as having his throat cut in a drunken row last winter and has been in jail since. Interest in Mohawk Group Frank A. Brown has purchased the interest of one of the partners, Gordon McLellan, in the Mohawk and Center Star groups on Bear river. These claims were recently located and are highly thought of by the owners, Worth Three Dollars a Yard H. M.

PRESIDENT PREPARING HIS ADDRESS TO CONGRESS Proapect! of Reduction in All Executive Departments at Washington— Amendment of Sherman Anti- Trust Law Recommended. Beverly, Mass., Oct. 13.—President Taft is mapping out for Congress a strenuous short session when it convenes this autumn, and his recommendations will include several measures for which the insurgent Republicans are fig) 'ng, according to authentic info; .„iion obtained today by the United Press. The President in his message, will demand the enactment of many new statutes embodying the recommendations contained in the Republican platforms adopted in many states. Foremost will come the President's expression of a desire to secure a more economical administration and the recommendation that Congress co-operate with the governmental departments in bringing this about. Taft will recommend the passage of a law permitting the development of water power on public lands by private capital, with the government retaining the power of using a restraining order where necessary. He will urge the amendment of the Sherman anti-trust law so as to permit railroads to enter into limited agreements regarding rates, subject to the approval of the interstate commerce commission. A federal charter for corporations also will be urged. The President will continue his announced policy of favoring the establishment of a strong merchant marine, and in this connection, will advert to the progress made in the construction of the Panama canal. The patronage bunghole of the "pork barrel" will be partially plugged with a recommendation to senators and congressmen that they surrender a part of their appointment privileges in order that more government employees may be placed under the conditions of the civil service. Other probable suggestions are for a new form of government in Alaska, the strengthening of the anti-trust laws, currency reforms and changes in the law governing the issuance of injunctions without notice LAND PURCHASE NOTICE Skeena Land District—District of Caaaiar Take notice that Auguat Rohl of Seattle, Wash., U.

Condensed Advertisements. n ADVERTISING RATES are one price to all-25c per inch each issue for display matter. This rate applies to all advertising without distinction of quantity or time of contract. Reading Notices and Legal Advertising are 10c per line. SUBSCRIPTION RATES-Daily, 50c per month, or $5.00 per year, k advance. Weekly, $2.00 per year. Outside CANADA-Daily, $8.00 per year; Weekly, $2.50 per year, strictly in advance. Daily Edition. Tuesday, Oct. 18 CHANGE IN OWNERSHIP With this issue of the Optimist the control of the stock, plant and good-will of the Prince Rupert Publishing Company, Limited, together with the Optimist newspaper, passes into the hands of a syndicate of business men and henceforth the destinies of the business will be guided by the new Board of Directors, or by persons they may place in command. The Optimist is a splendid example of the rapidity of development and success which attend business ventures in the West, and particularly in Prince Rupert. In July of last year it started as a small weekly, almost immediately usurping the position of the leading paper of the city. Its business prospered and the paper expanded. In May of this year it was converted to,a daily and still it grew. Twice it has outgrown its quarters and now a third time the plant has to be moved to still a larger building. The Optimist has the distinction of being one of the few newspapers in America which has made money from the day of its first issue. The credit for this belongs chiefly to the boosters of the city who have given it loyal support, which the management have endeavored to reciprocate in advertising Prince Rupert in distant fields. In doing this the paper has found favor at home and abroad, and beyond doubt no paper with the same circulation has as many live readers or as many friends. The confidence which the public have had in the paper is evidenced in the fact that three different offers have been made the Company to purchase the plant and franchise. In securing the Optimist the new company have the most promising newspaper proposition in Canada and one which will bring them both pleasure and profit. Up to the present time the editorial column of the paper has voiced only the personal opinion of the editor, and while criticism (the function of an editor) has struck in many places it has always emanated from the best intentions and was without malice or dishonest motive. Like all successful enterprises doing business with the general public the Optimist has received its quota of mud and false report but this has been accepted without bitterness and in good part as belonging to the game of politics. Messrs. G. W. Morrow, C. H. Sawle and G. T. R. Sawle, the retiring shareholders of the company, have disposed of their entire interests and to the new owners they resign the safe keeping of the happy relationship existing between the Optimist and its clientele, and extend the hope of ever increasing prosperity to the paper and the Company.

Tingley, Agent DOMINION IS NOT TOO EAGER NEGOTIATIONS IN REGARD TO RECIPROCITY Freer Exchange of National Products Acceptable on Basis of Concession for Concession—Pour Parlers Not Be Entered for Several Weeks. Ottawa, Oct. 13.—A delay of several weeks is now regarded as unavoidable before pour parleis are entered into between Washington and Ottawa respecting the proposed reciprocity convention. Thp minister of finance, William S. Fielding, who has recently returned to Ottawa from a prolonged visit abroad, probably will next week indicate to the American secretary of state, Philander C. Knox, that Canada is quite ready to enter upon the reciprocity negotiations suggested by President Taft last spring. Mr. Knox likely will be invited to suggest the time and place for the conferences. Whether they will be held in Washington or Ottawa or in both places alternately, will largely depend upon the inclination of the American secretary, but certain prominent Canadians are strongly urging that the meeting take place here. While there have been a good many expressions of- public opinion throughout the Dominion of late against any form of reciprocity with the United States, the idea being strongly opposed in many influential quarters irrespective of political party, nevertheless the Ottawa administration does not regard this opposition as representing the opinion of the majority of Canadians. It is well understood here that the Canadian government will make no sacrifices, and that unless the United States government is prepared to grant concession for concession, the whole treaty negotiations will come to naught. The feeling at Ottawa is that President Taft sincerely desires a successful outcome of the reciprocity conferences, and that there will be a disposition on both sides to deal with the matter in a fair and mutually satisfactory manner. It is difficult to forecast on what points concessions will be asked, or along what lines they may be made but there seems to be little doubt that the proposals which will be made by Canada will be for freer interchange in natural products, and on this basis alone will any reciprocity agreement be acceptible to the people of this country at the present time.

Portland Canal Mining company's stock has always attracted interest in Prince Rupert and considerable local money is interested it in. To those who hold stock and those who are interested in any way the report -of the engineer and manager of the company, W. J. Elmendorf, to President Dickie is given below in full: 'On September 24th both water wheels at the concentrating mills were run as a trial. Everything moved off in a satisfactory manner. From that date until yesterday one machine after another was connected, the crusher being started on September 27th. Yesterday the first ore was fed into the j,gs and tables and our next work will De the adjusting and gauging of their capacity, bedding and jigs and gradually juning up the plant for'the serious work t has in store. The mill is a substantial and complete one of which no engineer or company need be ashamed. It is built primarily with regard to economy of operation and with a future increase of capacity in view. A mill which apparently might answer the purpose could have been built for less money but it would not have lasted so long, done the work so well, nor operated at so low a cost as this. All the work of construction has been done well and the mill with its magnificent water power is worth many times what it has cost. "It gives me pleasure to report that the separation of the galena from the pyrite and of both from the gangue is easily affected. The ore concentrates more perfectly than I expected, and I have not seen any from which the gangue is more easily removed. "There has never been any reason to doubt that the ore would concentrate successfully, on the contrary, the tests of two years ago were quite conclusive, but the accomplishment of an undertaking of this sort, even if fully expected, is most satisfactory. "The grade of the feed to the mill is for manifest reasons, low for the present. It would be folly to put high or even average grade ore through until the machines were adjusted to make the proper saving. As it is needed a better grade of ore will be supplied until the average ore which the mine can continuously produce is reached. "Just what this grade will be no one can possibly tell but it will not be far from that given by me in my report of August 28, 1908, page 19, as the average from No. 1 and No. 2. ore dumps. Such ore will be more profitable than the tests made at that time would indicate because a much cleaner concentration can be made than was then effected. "Development work at the mine has been uniformly satisfactory. The ore body now being opened by No. 2 and No. 3 tunnels is proving larger than any other in the mine. Both are in good ore from which high grade specimens may be obtained and which will average at least as well as the rest of the ore. At one point nearly five feet in width of almost solid ore is exposed and is notable for the increase of lead which it shows. The next one hundred feet on No. 3 level is most important ground and will develop splendidly judging from the surface and levels above. From the A raise a new stope has been started which will supply ore when needed. The assays from this point show a higher gold content than the average and this should make good feed for the mill, the ore is about four feet wide. "The B raise is now up more than half way to the No. 1 level and has about thirty feet more to go. There is three feet of ore in the face of this working today. With its completion an underground connection down through the mine will be provided and the ore above No. 1 can be economically extracted. "The tunnel on the Eclipse claim which develops the vein in place about 1000 feet north from and 400 feet below the No. 3 tunnel, shows a strong seam of ore mixed in character and about a foot wide, although it probably is not an arc shute. Work has been discontinued for the present but should be resumed next summer as this is a most important point from which to to prosecute development. "I have so often expressed my confidence in the future of the mine that to repeat it now seems superfluous. "Its developm nt is fully justifying my expectations and the ore opened is worth many times the company's expenditures for purchase, development and improvement and at no time in the past has it looked so well or promised so much as it does today. "All the new buildings, which were badly needed both at the mill and the mine, are completed and occupied. These are commodious and furnish many comforts which should insure obtaining the best labor for the company's requirements." Senator McGregor Haa Accepted Halifax, N. S., Oct. 18.—(Special)— Senator McGregor has accepted the governorship of Nova'Scotia.

After discharging her freight at the wharf she proceeded at 9 a.m. to the wharf of the Atlin Construction company at the new cold storage building to land ten iron columns there foi the building. The Princess Beatrice brought no freight for the up river points as this traffic is now practically stopped for the season. The Port Simpson and Hazelton left this morning with as much freight as could be carried considering the state of the water in the canyon, but very little more freight can now be sent up river.
