G, Fitzgerald and three men of the Northwest Mounted Police missing since .January Uth when they shoultl have arrived at Dawson, are all dead. They died after one of the most heroic st rubles ever recorde.l in the history of Arctic expeditions by tlwRN. W. M.P. Their hodies have just been found on the hanks of the Peel River not far smith of Fort Macpherson where they died of cold and starvation. The names of the men ure: F. G. Fitzgerald Constable Carter Constable Kinney Constable Taylor. Made Brave Struggle On December 22nd the party left Fort Macpherson for Dawson with three dog teams. They intended to make the Peel River Pass through the Rocky Mountains, but the weather was severe antl stormy, and the party failed to lind the pass. Sticking doggedly to their task they struggled day after day tb make the crossing of tlie mountains, and fought with the snow-storms un- availingly until January 18th when they were still only at the head of the Wind River. Tiny Remnant of Food Now they realised that they wen- baffled, and taking stock of their provisions found that they hail liii only it'ii pounds ol' Hour, eight pounds nl bacon, ami a few tlrietl i\j>li. They were two hundred and fifty miles from Kurt Me- j pherson. They began the journey back to their starting point. StHin the meagre remainder of the provisions nave out. One by one the dogs were killed and eaten. There were fifteen ���>( lliein in the three teams. They were all eaten, but still the party was far from refuge, and the men were gr<>\\inj; weaker and making but painful progress. There was nothing (<> eat at all now except buckskin thongs. They ate these, and gnawed the very harness in the lasi pitiful light for life. Struggled to the End Still struggling on the Btarving men Buffering terribly from cold, battled to the very lasl. Only thirty-five miles from Fort Mac- phcrson cold ami starvation conquered. All four tlietl together. The stronger men hatl evidently dragged the weaker with them in the utterly forlorn hope of saving lheir lives. Relief Party Too Late On January 1-1 lb when the parly was expected in Dawson some Peel Indians tame in wilh news lhat lhe men hatl been seen heading for Dawson mi New Year's Day. A relief parly was organised by the Dawson police. It consisted of Corporal Dempster, as leader, Constables Fyfe and Turner, antl an Indian named Charley Stewart. The relief party It'll on February 28th. On March 'J 1st the bodies were fount) thirty- five miles from Fori Macpherson. Ihey were taken to that station antl buried. Made Fast Travelling That the relief parly made lhe journey very quickly is shown by their time for the round trip io fori Macpherson antl back, ll took them just forty days to make the trip. They recovered the Hcrschel and Macpherson mail i which the lost parly hatl not j abandoned. They also brought the news ihai Sergeant Sclig who had charge of ihe police at I lerechel hatl died of throat trouble. SKEENA RUN IS ALTERED River Fleet to Berth at Kitselas TRAIN SERVICE Preparations Made for Heavy Inland Traffic This Season. Three Boats Will Continue to Run as Formerly. This season the headquarters of Messrs. Foley, Welch & Stewarts fleet of river steamers will In- Kitselas. There can be no doubt thai the (irand Trunk Railway will be running a regular service of trains between Prince Kupert ami Kitselas by the time navigation of the Skeena opens, hut there will be plenty for the steamers to do beyond this point. There will be traffic still by water between Rupert antl Hazelton, lor lhe Hudson Hay Co.'s Bteamers, Haselton ami Port Simpson, and also the Inlander, will continue to make the full trip as before. Indications point to a season ia lhe interior that will tax the resources of both ihe 100-mile Stretch of railway anil the si|tiad- ron of vessels. It is confidently expected by all residents of the norlh that this year will be one of the busiest ever experienced by the Skeena River district. The steamers, many of which liave been lying at Prince Rupert during lhe winter, are now being overhauled ami placed info shape for the approaching season. Between Kitselas and Hazelton heavy traffic is certain to originate, ami between these points the river boats will do the work that the railway is not yet in a position lo do. There will untloliietlly he a heavy sleanibo.it travel between the present end of steel and the interior towns. At present it is difficult to ascertain what dale lhe companies will commence operation, but as near as can be estimated from tlie present indications along the river the Foley, Welch & Stewart vessels will be running by the 1st of May. The preparations for a coming season were never commenced as early in the year or as vigorously as ihey have been ibis season, which signifies lhat the companies expect an enormous amount of business. LABOR FOR CANNERIES Steamer Senator Chartered to Bring Recruits A THOUSAND EXPECTED Preparations Now in Full Swing for Opening of Salmon Packing Season Which Promises to Be a Busy One. Salmon packers are seriously considering the prospect of a labor shortage thisseason, and the steamer Sena lor has been chartered to make a trip to Honolulu to bring back 1000 laborers for the northern canneries, along the Pacific Coasl. Chinese and Japanese laborers are principally looketl for, bill laborers of oilier nationalities ate engaged. Only lasi week the Pacific Mail Steamer Korea calling at Honolulu on her way io San Francisco, brought about 300 Port- Ugucse, Filipino, ami Russian laborers who were seni north by one of ihe packers' association boats, A busy salmon season is ex pec ted, but no unusual develop ment of this important industry will take place this year. Large shipments of tin are arriving now continually, anil preparations are in progress for lhe rush of work. WE POLICE HELPED TO FIND "DADDY" Her propellers kicked up the foam as the S. S. Princess May swung sideways into the ('.. T. I', wharf yesterday afternoon. Captain MacLeod, with a complexion like a ripe filbert caused by a thousand north coast zephyrs gave orilers to his men lo swing the gangplank so that the passengers lor I'rince Rupert could disembark. A Pretty Picture The purser, in a uniform covered with much gold braid, saw that his charges were safely landed. He spoke a kindly word to the children and gave a hand to help them when occasion demanded. A hundred or so olive complexloned foreigners with all sorts and conditions of baggage crossed the plank, a half hundred or so well dressed first class passengers were landed. Last of all came a neat little woman with a healthy five year old boy clinging to her skirts tm one side and a dimpled, curly haired, brown eyed, three year old girl clinging to the other side of mammy's skirls, ln her arms she carried a liny piece of pink and white innocence, a three months oltl baby. "Where s Daddy ?" A mother and baby would soften lhe heart of a Sphinx, so no wonder that purser, stewards, hard handed .seamen and passengers rushed to offer assistance to the mother. They were permitted to give an eye to the toddling boy ami girl bill lhe liiolher would nol trust the baby out of her arms. She crossed thc gangplank ami gazed wistfully along the wharf evidently looking for somebody. He was nol there, 'lhe iwo kiddies looketl ud intQ_iL face lhat was near them. The boy said, "Where's daddy, mama?" and she answered quietly, "He'll 'ie here in a minute, son, cheer up." A Haven of Safety A minute then several minutes passed and daddy did not come. The mother ami children were still Standing on the wharf strangers, nol knowing where lo go or what lo do. There was a concerted rush to lhe mother's sitle. A young slewartl won out He knew lhe comfort of Little's news stand and he knew Arthur l.illle himself woultl lake care of lhe family until "daddy" was located, The Queen of England was never welcomed more graciously and courteously to any function, nor MEANS MUCH TO RUPERT Rich Mineral Resources of River Impress Traveller HAZELTON IS GOOD Opening of Grand Trunk Railway so Far This Season Mean Vast Increase in Present Development. Evidence of the splendid impression made upon visitors by lhe vast mountainous mining llislrict of British Columbia around Hazelton ami northwards is continually coining lo light in the London newspapers. Every tribute paid to this great district is a boost for Prince Rupert, lhe key 10 ihe interior. Great Mining Activity A writer to the London Times, just returned from a visit lo the IL ('. mining districts says of thr Northern section: '('.real mining activity was evident on all sitles, and some of lhe men were making on the average from 12s (o His a day panning. Hul the goltl was purely alluvial, and the creeks require to lie followed to ascertain lhe existence of the actual deposits of ore. Rich Strikes at Hazelton "At Hazelton numerous rich strikes of ore were related, especially on Nine Mile mountain. The minerals were gold, galena, silver, and copper for the most part, both high and low grade, in hard milling rock. Ai present operations can not he carried io a very definite conclusion. Inasmuch as it costs about twenty pounds per ton lo bring machinery up from lhe coast. Hy lhe entl of lhe summer, however, the (irand Trunk Pacific Railway will be carried into the difficulties of transport will be appreciably lessened. Over 600 Claims Allowed "The mineral belt extends for aboul 100 miles soulh of Hazellon. Sixty miles south two towns have sprung up ai Telkwa and Alder- mere, and these, from their strategical positions, will doubtless prove to be ihe focus of industry A smelter is already projected at ihe former town on a Hat fringing the Hulkley River. The Hal lines are twelve miles distant on the easl, ami ihe Cascades about the same distance on the wesl. The whole country was overrun with prospectors. The deputy mining recorder reported thai up to ihe lime of the writer's visit over 800 claims had been allowed by government, and the extensive collection of ores of all descriptions which he displayed siib- stantiaietl the reports lhat were advanced regarding the mineral richness of the district. Hudson Bay Mountain "Eleven miles northwest of Telkwa ia s massive peak. Hudson's Hay Mountain, which has been staketl from fool to crest, though onlv one prospect has been developed so far owing to the transport difficulties. This is a rich galena ami silver deposit, lhe gailery having been driven in and the solitl vein of mineral tappetl. The mine, it is hoped, will be brought lo lhe producing stage this. year. French ami German engineers were in lhe country, and iheir mission was obvious, bill tht Hritish ambassador of commerce was absent."

SEAMAN INJURED FATALLY INJURED IN A MOTOR CAR SMASH Sad Accident to Henry Selfridge the Famous Anglo- American Merchant���His Family Escaped Injuries by a Miracle But He Will Probably Die (Special to the Opiimist) London, Lug., April 17. -Henry Selfridge, the Chicago merchant who opened a large departmental store in London on the American business plan, is lying at death's tloor as the result of serious injuries received in an automobile accident in Westmoreland on Saturday. The machine, a big six cylinder louring ear, was going down hill al a gootl clip when the brakes failed. 'Ihe big gasoline juggernaut careered down the hill wilh Mr. antl Mrs. Selfridge antl their two children shrieking in terror and the chauffeur doing his best to deter the machine. At the bottom of the hill the tar ran into a stone house with terrific force ami hurled the five occupants into a neighboring field. Mrs, Selfridge, ihe children anil ihe chauffeur escaped without injury in some marvellous way. Besides concussion of the brain Mr. Selfridge has other injuries. Henry Selfridge opened a tremendously large departmental store in London in lhe latter part of 1908. The store is a palatial building on Oxford street and is the only store of its kind in England. It has proven a success in every way ami English people, though they did not take kindly to il at first, soon became converted to the new order of things. ARE AFRAID ! MURDER IS OF RUPERT | THE CHARGE Seattle Merchants are Growing Japanese in Jail Here From Very Uneasy Naas Harbor THEY WANT ALASKA Fear That When the G. T. P. is Linked up That the Trade of Alaska Will All be Done Through Prince Rupert. Seattle merchants are very uneasy aboul the probable diversion of the Alaskan trade through the Prince Rupert channel via the (irand Trunk Railway. Already there has been even Suggested that Alaska may make overtures for linking herself with Canada for the greater development of her resources, and the idea is by no means disapproved of by those who most believe in the prospects of the Northwest irrespective of territorial considerations and tarill barriers. Realising this Seattle business men anxious to preserve the trade of their own cily, are more ready lo cultivate Alaska than they have been formerly. Messrs. Maurice I). Leehy, J. L. Steele and II. R. Harrison addressing the Seal tie Coiliin rit al Club said lhat committees shoultl form a bureau to supply information to the country at large of Alaska, a particular needs at present and to aid in snipping a plague of wildcattiiig of Alaskan mining stock that is spreading through the Last.

According to Sir Charles this is a terrible state of affairs.*j "Let ns not be led away bj the lure of gold. Lcl us come oul fairly in the open and declare thai wc are ready to sink or swim under the <>M flag and under the King ol the greatest Empire the world has seen," he urged a large audience al Vancouver lusl week. tm___\Jp to date, however, there has been no marketl diminution in the efforts of the Vancouver folk to make money, or anj greal rush to Windsor to perform the feats of natation to which Sir Charles invited his audience, After cheering at the mention of thc grand old tl.ig the audience went about its business, which is nol unconnected with the quest for gold. Previously in the evening, the anti-reciprocity orator had wh his audience that he was not there to discuss the question from ilu standpoint of dollars and cents, but from "the loftier standpoint t Canadian nationalism." As though tlie reciprocity question can he anything else but a question of dollars and cents, and as though Canadian nationalism like the nationalism of everj other nation does not depend on the successful economic organization of the people, In shirking a discussion of the reciprocal trade question from the standpoint of dollars and cents, and appealing instead to thc people of Vancouver to stand by the grand old flag, Sir Charles confessed his inability to deal with the question, Any woman going to her butcher to inquire why mutton chops have gone up five cents a pound would bc satisfied ii thc butcher saitl wiih line dignity: "Madam, I will not discuss this question from thc low standpoint of dollars and cents. Let us nol be led away by the lure of gold. Let us tome out fairly in the open and declare that we are ready to sink or swim under the old flag, and uniler the King of the greatest Empire the world has seen." And the reciprocity question is just a question of whether or no a reduction shall be made in the price of mutton chops and other articles of food, by the removal of the tax on them. In the case of cattle thc reduction is 28 per cent. Twenty-live per cent off the butcher's hill is a mailer of dollars ami cents, not a mutter of flag waving. The removal of 20 tents a bushel tax on the potatoes which go with the meal is likewise a mailer o| dollars and cents. Antl so with every one of the hundreds of articles on which it is proposed to either reduce or abolish the taxes. Between the two kinds of patriotism lhe kind lhal aims to make f I plentiful and cheap, and the kind lhat believes in yelling to the common people lo keep both hands on the Union Jack, there is a wide difference. There is no doubt which is thc more essential to the building up of a great nation.
