In a farewell speech last night he urged the Victorians I has been maintaining by a large force and that many were killed and wounded. The British soldiers were conveyed on the cruiser Proserpine, and it is reported that the commander of the vessel was among the dangerously wounded. The conflict hai long been expected by diplomats as a result of the difficulties between Kngland, Germany and France over Russia's attempt to obtain a port on the Indian ocean. They say it is likely to be a bad mess, as Russia i large force along of its property in the city of Prince Rupert und for railway purposes. In the event of that propo-ition being acceptable I would say as to the several conditions set out in thi resolution as follows: Condition No. 1 "That whenever the this afternoon. At the entrance to all the large squares were great triumphal archw and several arches were erected by citizens across the main streets in the route of the parade. The Duke and Duchess were in the procession, in a barouche made for the occasion drawn by six richly caparisoned ' Railway Co. alienate by lease or other- greys.

I of Persia for some mont lis. interior '. number of warships from the old country all brilliantly illuminated by electricity. IS THIS A JOKE, MR. HAYS? What the Assessor Asks Payment of a sum of $101,497.50, being payment at the rate of 15 mills on an assessment of $7,291,600.00. This is thc assessment of Mr. A. Cuthbert, who was appointed by the Provincial Government to assess the property in Prince Rupert in March last. What Board of Trade Asks That the Grand Trunk Pacific taxes be reduced to $25,897.50, being a rate of 15 mills on a proposed reassessment of the railway company's property at $1.72'"i,500.00. This was the suggestion of the committee of five appointed by the Board of Trade. What the Company Offers "A sum of $5,000 per annum for a period of twenty years in lieu and in full of all taxes and assessments of every nature payable during that period in respect of its property in the city ol Prince Rupert used for railway purposes," vide Mr. Hays' letter. of the particular block out of which alienation is made, be rebated in proportion to the amount of land thus alienated." This would be agreed to. Condition No. ;l "That the RailwJy Co. donate to the city (a) A City Hall site. (b) Cemetery grounds. (c) A reservoir site," must be dependent on the city's action in the other reapecta under discussion. The properly which I understand is desired for the purposes named is valued at approximately $215,000. While the company is desirous of acting in a liberal manner in regard to the sites required for these purposes, I do not think we could go so far as to grant land of that value without receiving some reasonably adequate compensation.

Friday, Nov. 4 SELL THE GOVERNMENT LOTS The suggestion made by Premier McBride at yesterday's conference with the city council that the Government lots in Section 1 had better be sold before the expiration of the fiscal year is one that should be made the subject of an order at an early date. Some such proceeding is certainly due to the remainder of the property owners in that section upon whom otherwise would fall the burden of improving the Government lots as well as their own. If for no other reason than for the clear and forceful way in which the various members of the council laid this matter before the Premier, the council is deserving of praise. The physical conformation of Prince Rupert's site, makes it necessary that large initial expenditures be made for the grading of roadways. Contracts for the rough grading of the remaining four und a half miles of streets in Section 1 were entered into last night. These will total about $400,000. That they will return dollar for dollar with interest is certain. But this is no reason why the property owners of the section should improve one hundred and sixty Government lots for nothing. There is another aspect of the question too. The rating for these improvements will have to be made this year. This rating cannot be added to or taken from after it is fixed. For twenty years thc property owners in Section 1 will be paying for these improvements. If the sale of the Government lots is deferred past the end of the year, then they will be immune from taxation for these local improvements for the whole of that period. It would mean civic anarchy for one portion of the property owners to be paying the whole of the improvement bill, while the latecomers, who may later on purchase the Government lots, would sit with their hands in t heir jeans, watching their neighbors pay the bills. We may all sympathize with Premier McBride's difficulties in his desire to get as much as possible for the Province for the lots, without retarding the progress of the city. Perhaps of the two methods of meeting the situation, paying a share or selling out, it would be a more satisfactory settlement of the case for the Government to put its pro|>erty in Section 1 on the market.

L. Tlnglev, Aiant LAND PURCHASE NOTICE HE HAS OUR SYMPATHY Troublea of Editor of Ketchikan Miner Moving Hia Plant This paper is somewhat abbreviated in J size and curtailed in news this week; whereas it should be voluminous in extent and pregnant with information. Court is in session and there is material enough to fill two newspapers and only for the lack of time, and fear of contempt, we could a tale unfold to entrance the ears of gossip lovers. There is the ' case of a man who is accused of selling two dollar's worth of hooch to an Indian. With half that much hooch a, story might be hatched up to tingle the risibility of the community and land the writer in the donjon keep. Donjon keep is a medievalism, and being so, it wears a peculiar relish for courts of law, and thus excuses writers who use the term from liability to a sweating by the grand jury. Then there are some divorce proceedings—proceedings that are always full of ginger and tears, broken hearts and purses and blasted hopes. Had we time to revel in this mistiness, what a publication could be put on the market and how it would sell. But we haven't the time, becauae the time is taken up with moving a lot of junk which is designated in the mortgage as "presses, type, stands, cases and racks, together with the appurtenances appertaining to the publication of a newspaper." Not only is time an interfering condition; but inclination. For who can write after he litis been welted over the eye with a monkey wrench? Who can think clearly when he is under the press squirting black oil into the hinges of a gilderlluke? Who can hear with . a gob of cold grease in his ear? Who has inclination to please the public when' his back aches and his lung is full of gasoline? Men have said that it is cheaper to move than to pay rent. That is a lie, and i( we ever have it to do over again we will pay our rent. Another thing; why should a grasshopper press and a handful of type swell into seventeen dray loads when you come to move it? Think of all this grief and then wonder why one man should be arrested for offering two dollar's worth of hooch to a troubled soul. Perhaps the Indian who wanted the hooch had a printing office to move; if so he has but to tell his story and his benefactor will go forth a free and much persecuted man. ■ ■■■■■■.-■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■I * ft ft ft - ■ Good Real Estate Buys ■■■ ftftft ft 1 have decided to place on the market for immediate sale the following valuable lota, which will pay the purchaser big profits within a year.

I bet him a Cow on that, as I thought you was worth it then. After I got your note sayin' you de- klined to ackt in the matter I druv the Cow over to the Keller's place an' tole him he had won her.

And talked of early freezes and the damage that they do; The man to whom he shipped it said the grower's price was high And railed the price two dollars more than in other days none by.

At the height of about seven and three-fourths miles the thermometer marked a temperature of sixty degrees Fahrenheit below zero.; Then the ink in the registering pens of both the thermometer and barometer, became frozen, and the records were j interrupted. But as the baloon continued to rise the ink was thawed again, and at the ten-mile level the automatic records were renewed. The temperature registered there was only about six degree* below zero. The increase of temperature is ascribed to the effect of the unclouded sun heating the air in the basket that contained the instruments. The lowest record of the barometer was one hundred and three millimeters, or a trifle more than four Inches. Attention was called to the fact that the density of the air at the height of ten miles, where the balloon remained during most of the afternoon, is less than that oxisting upon the plains of the moon, on the assumption that the atmospheric density on the moon is proportional to the force of the gravity at the surface of the earth. If this ia correct, then the instruments would have behaved about the aame if the experimenters had been able to place them on the moon, aa they did when they sent them only ten miles above the earth. The experiments mentioned above have suggested the question whether the air continues to be "air," in the sense in which we understand it, at a very great elevation from the earth. The' dimunition of temperature is so rapid aa to indicate that in inter stellar apace it must sink at least aa low aa four hundred and fifty degrees or five hundred degrees Fahrenheit below zero, and perhaps much lower.

"You are the masters of the situation, The Government is not going to step in and force matters in favor of the ; company, but it seems to me that the case is one open to settlement on a i basis fair and favorable to all parties j concerned. And to this end I am pre- | pared to offer my own services if required as agent to help matters towards I any arrangement of the kind suggested." The Premier went on to say that he ! did not blame the city for being on its guard against the risk of being dis- ! advantageously treated by a large corporation. He agreed that corpora- I tions had to be looked into closely. But he said that he felt the G. T. P. had ' considerable ground of complaint re- | garding their assessment. "The Grand Trunk Pacific," went on the Premier, "is wedded to Canada and ' Canada is wedded to the Grand Trunk Pacific. The road has got to be built ' and it is up to B. C. to treat with the company in a fair and generous way.: ' It would not be fair to say to the com-1 pany, for instance. 'Here we have a ] cinch upon you. You have got to j : come through British Columbia and you have to pay for it.' Though tempted perhaps by political considerations to i rule otherwise thc Government at the: time had not demanded much revenue from the G. T. P. on its entering British • Columbia. With the same spirit ani- mating the city council of Prince Rupert matters might be arranged amicably with the company, and I should be < glad," Mini the Premier, "to see this situation of armed neutrality done away with, and a better understanding arrived at. I think you would find it a good thing all round to settle up' and get rid of the difficulty." Aid. Pattullo here pointed out to, the Premier that the idea that there was any ill feeling between the city and company was incorrect. The Premier referred to and read extract* from correspondence from Mr D'Arcy Tate of the G. T. P. to himself j ? on the disputed matter, stating that he L had made no promise to interfere with 1 the legislation in this affair. The K following are sentences from the letters {J read: XX "We don't seek exemption, but only ™ that the assessment be put at a fixed - reasonable sum for say fifteen years." "If thc railway terminus were not at Prince Rupert could you sell the land on the townsite al a dollar an acre." This in sup|Mirt of the contention that it was not thc city that made the railway but the railway that made the city. The Premier went on to say that the certain about SILVER CUP MINES-there is no BpeoukUwi *" long deferred hope that some day they may strike orc-tT SILVER CUP ore bodies are systematically developed from eveiy point of economical and profitable n I tion. It is clearly apparent that a great dividend earning era is practically assured, the time that this is an accomplished fact is the opportunity for extraordinary profits . .

"11* . yesterday afternoon, to meet]00"™'1 WM *• ''•"*' rourl l0 <^^> the members of the Kaien Island club,! ""* cour8e thul m'Khl •* uke" UP I" a large number of whom were awaiting; the matter, him. An item of interest was the presentation of an address of welcome from the club, which, soon after the Premier's arrival was read to him by President Roerig and duly presented. The Premier made a brief and appreciative response and was then presented with a life membership in the club. The certificate of his membership is a dainty work of art, beautifully bound in burnt leather work and carrying a silver plate upon which the name of the distinguished holder of the certificate was engraved. Mr. McBride said he Bhould have pleasure in hanging this souvenir of his trip in his library and that whenever he again made a trip to Prince Rupert he should take pleasure in availing himself of the courtesies so kindly extended to him. Self-esteem is a brand of yeast that enables a man to rise in his own estimation. "I would say, gentlemen, in conclusion," he suid, "that if you could devise some fair and reasonable scheme whereby a fixed and reasonable taxation for a certain term of years could be settled upon between you and the' company, it would be a great advantage. I say this as the friend of both parties | and most anxipus that the city of Prhtce | Rupert Bhould have every chance." Replying to the Premier on behalf I of the council, the Mayor said that It' was unfortunate that the idea existcl existed that there was any quarrel between the city and thc G. T. P. He went over the story of the council's dealings with Mr. Hays and the request for a proposition from him which they would put to the people. "The mention of the people," said the Mayor, "sent the thing up in the air. From what I know of the people hi this city," he went on. "I don't think they will feel like granting any great exemptions. And I don't care to see the G. T. P. come to the peopla with a proposition only to get turned down." The Mayor suggested that an order in council should be passed for a new Court of Revision. The Premier said that he understood that the objections of the G. T. P. referred chiefly to taxes on track areas not lots, and Aid. Pattullo said that this was so. There followed some tentative discussion during which the Premier said that the British Columbia Provincial Government had given the G. T. P. exemption for ten years after completion of the line through the province, and Aid. Lynch asked the Premier what he would suggest the city's attitude should be. "Candidly gentleman," said the Premier, "where you as a city are just in the early stages of development as at present in Prince Rupert it is well to weigh the cost of any attitude you may assume towards a corporation whose interests affect yours as in this case. I believe that the city is entitled to grant exemptipn to the G. T. P. as much as the Government. Speaking as the friend of all concerned, I hope to see the G. T. P. going ahead with these works as soon as possible." Aid. Hilditch asked the Premier if the proposition should come from the city first or from the G. T. P. Thc Premier: "Certainly it should come from the company. There is no reason for you to be suppliants." Aid. Hilditch said he was anxious for things to go in harmony, but it must be remembered that Prince Rupert was not just like Victoria or Vancouver. The G. T. P. had already realized large sums of money from the sale of Prince Rupert lots. The Premier: "They are going to put it all back though." Aid. Hilditch: "That may be, but we have to spend large sums on sewers, streets, etc." The Premier went on to say that after all thc people are the judges of the mutter, and can satisfy themselves of the capacity of the men they appoint to manage municipal affairs. The G. T. P. of course would have to make out a very strong rase. The Mayor asked the Premier about the holding of another Court of Revision but the Premier Beemed to think this would be u difficult mutter to arrange. He would approach such a proposal with the greutipst possible rare. It might establish a precedent that would put the Government in a very difficult position regarding other matters. The Mayor then called on the city clerk to read the letter from C. M. Hays in reference to the assessment question, published on this page, after hearing which the Premier suggested that some one should be deputed by the G. T. P. to come and negotiate on the subject with the city council. MORLEYS PROMOTION British Secretary for India Becomea Lord Preaident of Privy Council (Special to the Optimist; London, Nov. 4.—As foreshadowed in these despatches yesterday Viscount Morley has retired for the India office and becomes lord president of the council. Earl Crewe is his successor in tha India office, Lewis Harcout has been appointed secretary of state for the colonies and Earl Beauchamp becomes commissioner of public works. PREMIER HEARS CITY'S REQUESTS CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 approve of the plans until it (the I city) has had an opportunity of seeing them, aa it desirea ingress anad egresa through Haya Creek for municipal purpoaes with acowa, amall ' boata, etc. The idea was in reference to a place I for the handling of garbage. Camerons Bay and Hays Creek were mentioned as suitable places for scows to be handled. ' Cumerons Bay in particulur was regarded as specially suitable owing to its nearness to the eitj electric plant where coal would need to be landed etc. The Premier mentioned that there , had been some hitch in the filing of the G. T. P. company's plans covering the filling in of these points on the waterfront. Mr. Tate had imformed him I that theae had been filed with the Railway department at Ottawa but it seemed that Mr. Tate had been mistaken. The Premier did not think that the B. C. Government would have any power to interfere. Mr. Hays had represented that the intention of the company was to put ten tracks in here, the idea being to have terminal facilities for handling rail traffic at rock bottom < prices. (5) Government lota now unsold pay no ahare of the coat of improvements under the Local Improvement Plan, although they receive the aame benefit aa property which carries the taxation for aame. The city requests either that these lota contribute their proportion or that they be aold immediately so that improvement taxea can be collected on them. The Premier after hearing the arguments on this matter suid that it semed ' to him the city was pressing the Government pretty hard to sell these lots. He added, however, that he thought the best way would be to have a sale and wind tbem up. (6) The city requests that park sites be set aaide and reaerved for a Municipal park along both aidea of Haya Creek, and alao from tide water at Shawatlana Pasaage, thence along both ahorea of Shawatlans Lake and embracing about 500 acrea at the ' upper end of the lake. The Premier requested thut u memo, setting forth the vurious portions of land suggested us purks Ih- prepared und sent him. It would lie neeip*sury to pass an act of parliament on the matter, but this would have early attention. (7) That all school aitea in the city be tranaferred to the city, to be uaed by the municipality for school purposes only. The Premier will receive a memo, also upon this matter and promises early attention to it. s Title to reservior aite, and right- of-way for water pipe line. The Premier said he would see that this was granted (9) That government reserve be placed on watershed and drainage area of Woodworth Lake to preaerve the purity of the water. The Premier asked if there were any timber claims involved in the area mentioned and was told there were none but there might be an Indian reserve. He asked that plans showing the watershed and completed survey be sent him and promised his attention to the matter. (10) Cemetery site. Regarding this matter the Premier expressed the opinion that tho portion ; of the townsite suggested for the ceme- ; tery seemed to him so situated as to | give a depressing impression to the ' visitor approaching the city from the harbor if used as a cemetery. He asked that a memo, on this subject also be sent him saying that the matter was one requiring careful consideration as after ; difficylties were apt to arise over property | adjoining cemetery sites granted. (II) Incorporation Act amended re inscribed stock. After hearing City Solicitor Williams i on this matter the Premier said that he thought this could lie very well provided { for under the General Act which seemed I to him a very suitable way of financing ! municipalities.

Co. release to the city all their rights in | the various odd sections of land in the , surveyed portions of the city which have not been surveyed into lots, and which belong to thc Railway Co. and the Provincial Government jointly."
