I am firmly of the opinion that the rights of this company are worth very much more to the City of Prince Rupert than the $15,000 claimed, and I may say I am sustained in this opinion by Mr. Drew- ry, the chief water commissioner of British Columbia. Yours respectfully, WM. MAHLON DAVIS, City Engineer. Aid. Hilditch moved in favor of the adoption of the report, which was carried unanimously.

BACK FROM ATI.IN Starting June Must Collect and Distribute Within .Municipal lloiiiiilai-ies (Special to The Journal) OTTAWA, April 4.—The railway commission has issued an order In regard to the much-complained of "delivery limits" of expresl companies. The judgment makes the collection and delivery within municipal boundaries compulsory starting on June 1, but gives an opportunity for tne companies to ask relief in special cases. , .lodge Young returned a feu days i ago after making an official trip to Atlln where he held court. Ths docket was quite an extensive one. On the way in, the judge encountered very severe weather and had a trying trip. His return wns niadt under much better conditions, however. Speaking of conditions in tlie At- lin camp, Judge Young says there n tl ii ite an optimistic feeling. The remarkable richness of the ore taken out of the Engineer group has had its effect on the place. As be came ont representatives of large financiers were on the way in with power to purchase the Engineer group if conditions satisfied them. The judge is now holding court here.

The others were men. This gives a hint as to his early ability. But this is the tale of his first entrance upon a real league diamond. It was the opening day of the ooast league baseball season in Los Angeles, Cal., in 1904. A big crowd was out—20,000 fans—for California is a great baseball state. The first game was with Oakland, then as potent a drawing card in Los Angeles as the Cubs are in New York. Frank Dillon was the first baseman of the Los Angeles team, and he was considered the best workman about zhe initial sack on tlie coast. He was the star of the team, the idol -of the fans; in short, the hope of Los Angeles. The Pacific Coast league had been in outlawed organization, but in 1904 it had returned to the ranks of organized baseball. The Brooklyn rlub of tlie National league promptly irafted Dillon, as was Its right. Still, the fans hoped lhat hy some hitch 4 miles southerly of mouth of Jas un River and \S% miles west of River; rllence east SO ehains; thence south'l'O chains; 1 thence west 80 chains; thence north i80 ohains to point of commencement, ! containing 640 acres, more or less.

Mac- Tlie Government, He Say* Is Republican Only in Name—Is Military Despotism The decision of the city council to ii in the action of Mayor .Manson relative to the purchase ol the remaining water rights at bakes Woodworth and Shawatlans, is un- li tb ii,.-. a wise policy. It secures /or the city a vast water supply, free from all private companies. This acquisition of water rights for $15,- 000 ensures to the city a splendid estlc supply and also an exeel- power proposition. There are no other records on the lakes so that the city will be able to do as it sees best In tlie matter. Opinions may differ as to the advisability of tlie povt'er propositions such as light and tram services being owned by the municipality or by private companies, but in any event the city acts wisely in securing the rights at tlie lakes. The city is ensured of a source of supply that in these days of cheap power cannot be overestimated. Mayor Manson has shown that his time was not wasted while he was in the south as far as Prince Rupert is concerned. That he has been able to make a bargain with the Prince Rupert Power and bight Company for $15,000, which was held by that company at $30,000 last year, speaks ■rell for his business ability in advancing the interests of the city. With water rights callable at a lomparatlvely light cost of developing well on to 2,000 horsepower, Prince Rupert is placed in an enviable position.

In a day like this when competi tion among the different coniiner oial cities is so great, this question of power means much. Added to her other vast advantages the city is to have within such easy reach as to be considered practically in the corporation, water power to serve to a very considerable exieiit the needs oi the place for some time. The offer was one that was not 31H11 to being considered for any length of time. It had to lie acted apon quickly. Tbe council could not afford to turn down such a proposition and tlie business men of the city will undoubtedly endorse the action. ALL-RED ROUTE Rev. .1. A. .Macdonald, editor of the Toronto Globe and one of the ...est known newspaper men in Canada while In Victoria has given his opinion of President Diaz, of Mex-1 leo. Wilii some twenty of Hie best I known newspaper editors In Canadit •Hid tiie United Stales Dr. Macdonald was Invited te \ isit Mexico la il September as the guest of President Diaz, during tlie Centennial celebrations of .Mexican Independence. From that trip lie is only jus; returning i.y slow stages, having spent some time in Souther:! California recuperating. Dr. Macdonald, in the course of an interview expressed a high opini n oi' Mexico's veteran president. Diaz, lie says, is a wonderful man and a born organizer and ruler. But he says that .Mexico's government is republican only in name; Diaz's "regime" is rather that of a military despotism, which, all things considered, lias been a benevolent and a beneficent despotism, and has certainly been the saving grace of Mexican independence. But, added Dr. Macdonald in one of his characteristically pungent phrases, "a government should grow out of the nation, not be put on like Saul's armor—and left." Mexico's Need The cardinal weakness in his otherwise strong and sound administration is that President Diaz has not "brought on" any young men to take up the reins of government after death should call the great republican leader from office. Each of his counsellors is a political Polouius. They are wise men. but old; old men who give good advice as a consola- lion for being unable to give good example.

The consequence is that there is no one to succeed him, and carry ou his work. o WHERE "CATGUT" IS MADE Probably but a small percentage of the fishermen who -use flies strung with fine translucent "catgut" are aware that the almost unbreakable substance that holds the hooks against the fiercest struglges of the struck fish, comes from silkworms. The principal centre for the manufacture of this kind of catgut is the Island of Procida, in the Bay of Naples, but most of the silk worms employed are raised near Torre Annunziata, at the foot of Vesuvius. The caterpillars are killed just as they are about to begin the spinning of cocoons, the silk glands are removed and subjected to a process of pickling, which is the secret of the trade, and afterwards the threads are carefully drawn out by skilled workers, mostly women. The length of the thread varies from a foot to nearly twenty inches, The Fire Fighter It should always be gratifying lo residents of Prince Ruper\ to bear tbat the scheme of the All-Red Route is attaining importance and nearing definite shape. In the carrying out of such a scheme this port, ft lias always been felt, would play an Important part. The National Transcontinental and the Brand Trunk Pacific combined must constitute the best railway across the jontinent of America. In the formulating of .lie All-Red Route with all that lhat scheme means, It has always been felt that the Canadian S-overnmenl would favor the G. T. P, tor the land end of the scheme as fat- is Canada is concerned. This lias been recognized by those In close -.ouch with transportation affairs for fears and oilier companies have il ....ii a disposition to fear such a londitiou being created. Tlie premiers Of the overseas dominions are reported to have in -lew, looking Into the situation as It jxisis relative to this scheme in Ireland. When the time arrives for the i»rrying out of such a project, along the magnificent lines contemplated by those favoring it, the Grand Trunk Pacific will be able to take its part in the proposition. Prince Rupert will be a port with unrivalled advantages in the way of shipping and on the great through route among tne seaports of the empire its advancement must be phenomenal. EDIT H. Ward, of the Ward Electrical Works, has gone south. We cheered when they hoisted her onto the wharf, With her beautiful varnished paint. We saw that she wasn't no kind o' dwarf, And she might need a bit of restraint. When they swings the handle and starts her up, "bet her go," says BUI to me, "If I ain't mistaken, she'll buck a hit, "Keep your eyes skinned, 'Sport,'—you'll see." When he let in the clutch—this fancy bloke, As they'd brought up from Vic. to drive her, She just give a lep like a piston stroke, Then stopped like a winded diver. Well, he used some words as it ain t my place To repeat in a yarn like this. ■ Then he tips with the Bonnett and shoves his face In the works of that chrysalis. He touched the fan and he felt the coll, And tightened the nuts up better, He cleaned the Magneto, and changed a plug, And he tickled the Carburetor. When she DID start off she was smoking some, And the roar of her'd deafen an adder. But never mind, boys, the engine's come With her Babeock and hose and a ladder. She won't go into the Fire Hall—• But that's the fault of the Builder. Somehow the aerned place seems too small, But we'll wait till the night air's chilled her. She stood in the streels or down in the shed Of Prince Rupert's Construction Co.; When her water pipes burst, they put her to rights, Inside of a month or so. When the fire broke out on Sixth and Third And threatened the business quarter, The firemen fought the raging flames, Led on by Mrlnnis and Porter. But where was the Engine, Sir?—you say— Why, she'd slipped into the muskeg In front of the Bank and there she lay Like a sat-upon-broken-bust egg. She'd skidde daround from Fulton street And crashed into Wallace's store, She pitched the driver out of his seat, Then backed with a rattle and roar. She'd broken her gear loose and axle bar, Her crankshaft was bent and twisted, A caricature of the nine-thou. car In the company's catalog listed. Yes, sir; nine thousand's the price they paid Of tlie citizens' hard-earned money. She ain't worth a niekle, I'm much afraid, But maybe they think it's funny! When the fire was out—the boys fixed that— There was some was for making a row, "Let byegones be bygones," said Bill to me, "We'll call her the Muskeg Plough." The British Columbia Company LIMITED.

Bahama Island Residents Arc Largely Blacks—Situation for Country to Consider Members of the legislature of the Bahamas have voted by 26 to 6 in favor of political union with the Dominion of .Canada. This is a compliment to Canada, but It is a case of where the gift horse must be looked in the mouth. The bulk of the population is b'ack. The blacks have very limited political rights, and the legislature is based upon a restricted franchise, very different from anything in this country. The The admission of the islands to confederation would introduce political and social problems to which Canadians are now strangers, and and to which they will probably prefer to remain strangers. They see what the race problem means across the line, and they will be chary of importing it even to the slighest degree, no matter what the commercial compensation may be. The white people of the Bahamas would probably not agree to any extension of the political privileges of the colored population. Does Canada want a new province without representative government in the full sense? The offer of the Bahamas must be very strictly examined. o—■— VANCOUVER WATER A letter was read from the consulting engineer at the meeting of the Vancouver water committee in regard to the expenditure Involved in the proposed,new water supply from the Seymour Creek, and the installation of the new thirty-four- inch pipe. The total cost of the extension will be $563,062,50. The main Items are: New Seymour Intake, $10,000; supply main, north, side of Burrard Inlet, $287,500; submerged mains and shore connections, $83,000; steel pipe, $107,000; engineering and superintending, $20,000. There is $200 000 on hand now, and it was moved by Alderman Stevens that tenders be called for steel pipe, tenders to be in by the first of May.

' Revival of the Proposition so often Put Forward by Scientists aroused of the Great interest has been in Europe by the renewal project to change the Sahara Desert Into a sea. The author of this project is Professor Edniond Etchegoyen, one of the most distinguished engineers and scientists in France. He Is In many ways comparable to Ferdinand de LessepS, tlie projector of the Panama Canal. The project is receiving great support from Mademolsele Etchgoy- en, the beautiful and accomplished daughter of the professor. She is supporting tlie scheme with much energy and enthusiasm and through her efforts, there is a serious prospect that it may be carried out, In favor of the scheme it is said that it will restore a vast territory to civilization. Against, it is urged the startling facl thai it may upset the balance of the world. The Sahara Desert is an immense, depression many hundred thousands of miles In extent, lying generally from one hundred to a thousand feet below sea level. It is for tlie most part useless, a menace to life and a hindrance to commerce. Its climate is absolutely unendurable, because it. lies on and about the equator, below the sea level, and is shut off from the cooling winds from the north by the Atlas Mountains. On behalf of the plan to flood the Sahara, it is claimed: 1. Thai it would render the territory surrounding tlie great inland lake habitable. 2. That it would furnish a safe and liealty way of communication through Central Africa. 3. That it. would give a comparatively moderate climate to this region, as moderate probably, as the north shore of Africa, lying on the Mediterranean Sea. The lake could easily he formed, acordlng to the proprietors, by cut-1 them out °r tttelr dwelling places, ting a small fifty-mile canal from or. at best deprive them of the op- the Mediterranean to Ihe Sahara Portunity to flee into tlie trackless through a certain part, of the French wilderness when pursued African possessions., France is the These wild children of the desert, country chiefly affected by the who are quick to learn nowadays cities of London, Edinburgh and Brussels. "The British Islands would be practically blotted from the map, since their people would become a savage people, clad in skins and drinking oil ann eating blubber like the Eskimo. The picture is a strange one, yet there is something else that is stranger still. Serious- minded men of science have predicted something even worse, as a possibility, than a mere change of climate. Suppose the channels were cut down through the hills and plains of .Morocco to the verge of the vast, mysterious desert which lies beyond. "There would come the moment for the cutting to be made cm the edge of the .Mediterranean—the moment when a tremendous explosion of dynamite would shatter the last harrier and allow the waters of the world's oceans to go thundering and roaring down the steep incline. Tbe bursting of a reservoir, I lie breaking of a great dam is a fearful thing to contemplate; yet how trivial would' it be compared with this great cataclysm, which would drain two million cubic miles of water from the seas and hurl them in one tremendous avalanche into the heart of a continent! "Might not this sudden shifting of so immense} a mass actually destroy the equipoise of tlie earth, tlie nice balance which keeps it adjusted on its ax.s? "That is what Ihe scientists have seriously asked themselves; and the question gives us an almost shuddering insight into the power of the human brain. It lias seamed and scarred the world with lines of steel; it has linked river to river and sea to sea; it has levelled mountains and tunnelled under the river beds and even the channels of the ocean;-and now it has within Its power not merely to convert summer lands into Arctic wastes, but conceivably it might even destroy the earth itself and send us all whirling into scattered fragments through the infinite and awful reaches of everlasting space." Not only the scientists are opposed to the project. The Moors, Kabyles, Riffs and' other wild tribes of the desert and threatening to rise in arms against it. The new sea will either flood which would alter the climate of Europe, upset economic conditions on the continent, and perhaps imperil the safety of the world." change, since tiie Sahara lies almost entirely within French territory. The change mlghl also be effected letting the waters of the Atlantic into the Sahara from the vest coast of Africa. Against the formation nf the new- sea the chief reason urged is that it would cause a dangerous change in the climate of Europe, tlie consequences of which no one can foresee. It Is quite remarkable how many eminent scientists hold that this would be a grave danger. Some go so far as to assert that the sudden shifting of so vast a body of water might shift the position of the earth's axis, thereby entailing a disturbance which might cau e the destruction of all life on ,our globe. what, is happening in tlie civilized world, have already hteard of the Etchegoyen project. Tlie first step to carry into effect will be a signal for a raid by them on tlie civilized settlements of the Mediterranean shore.

Professor Camllie Flamar- ion of Paris, is one of those who support this view, and another is Professor Bruckner, of Vienna. "The flooding of tlie Sahara," says the distinguished Professor .Mollendorff, or .Munich, "would make the climate of France and Germany subarctic, while England, Belgium and Denmark would be almost uninhabitable, Some of the greatest capitals of the world would soon he quite deserted.

Experts, however, say that it would be possible to hold the sand In check, and the land thus reclaimed would be the best in the world for producing tropical fruits.

Freak Insurance Has Kept the Name of the Organization Before the Public The announcement that the pearl necklace, diamonds and jewellery of Mrs. Baldwin Drummond, valuend at $130,000, stolen from her stateroom on the Hamburg Amerika, were insured by Lloyds of London, which will be aboul $100,000 in case the missing gems do not turn up, recalls the chances thai tills organization takes on all manner of insurance. Lloyds is not an insurance company as the term is known here. It is an association of individuals who are prepared to accept practically any risk, the various members, or groups of members, taking the chances, each according to his own views and the association itself not in any way assuming responsibilities for the Individual risks. Originally the organization undertook only marine Insurance. In the days of the Georges the owner of a vessel would go to Lloyds' coffee house In Alchurch lane and bis fellow merchants would sign their names under the policy and opposite the amount which ea*ch was prepared to pay in case of shipwreck. Hence the term "underwriters." "Any Old Risk" at a Price Gradually the underwriting custom began to be applied to risks other than marine, and the speculative habit was developed. Today, like the old underwriters, the various members are willing to consider "any old risk" and will accept almost any at a price. The various forms of freak insurance that Lloyds have indulged in has kept its name in the public eye as much as anything. England, of course, has long been accustomed to it, but it was such insurance as policies against Black Hand outrages, taken out two years ago, and the losses resulting from the possible election of William Jennings Bryan, that drew the special attention of Americans to this practice of Lloyds, that one can be insured against anything from twins down through rainy weather to a cold in the head. One hundred years ago or so the predecessors of the present Lloyds gambled on th/; fate of Napoleon. The policy was for one month at three per cent. This would be an ordinary risk today for policies on the lives of threatened uionarchs are almost as common as policies upon delayed ships. Everybody remembers how in 1902 Lloyds took a big chance as to whether Edward VII would live long enough to be crowned King of Great Britain and Ireland and Emperor of India. Many men in Britain carry insurance all the year round on tbe life of the King. Some Wall street speculators, it Is said, make it a practice to carry insurance on the life of the President because of the probable market upheaval that would tollow the sudden death of the head of the nation. Wars and the lives of crowned heads have always been the greatest source of Lloyds' policies outside of its legitimate business of marine insurance. Durin gthe period of continual disturbance in Europe between 1775 and 1815 not a cargo went to sea that was not insured against capture and during the more recent Japanese-Russian conflict the shipments of contraband to both parties were Inovilaby insured at Lloyds. Elephant Insurance Policies ou the safety of valuable animals are common, elephant Insurance especially being quite usual. One Of tlie largest animal policies was on tlie life of the great Jumbo when he was brought to New York on a steamship, Horses, too, ar* often insured at Lloyds. Nearly every stallion of importance on the Kentucky breeding farms is insured, and still a few years ago many race horses in training were insured, but a succession of losses caused an advance of premiums to virtually a prohibitive figure. The final blow came when James R. Keene's Highball broke his leg in a race and had to be destroyed. He was insurend for a very large amount. Bank deposits are often insured, and the Prince fo Waie's jubilefe stamps were insurend at Lloyds, a prominent firm of underwriters guaranteeing that tbe Issue would be successful, it was. An odder risk was the insurance of a glass bed packed in twenty cases and shipped to an eastern ruler. One case was damaged and the undenrwriter had to pay in part. Gate money for cricket and football matches have also been insured, and a lot of money is made out of the vagaries of the weather. Lloyds bets large sums right along that it is not going to rain on a certain day. At the time of King Edward s coronation Lloyds insurend stand owners, decorators and florists, and lost, it is estimated, at least a million dollars by the postponement of the ceremony. On the other hand, the undenrwriters Insured Queen Victoria's jubilee and her diamond jubilee, and as both took place according to schedule they made money on the outcome. Paderewski on his concert tours takes out half a dozen different kinds of insurance, accident and health, and a separate policy on his fingers. Kubelik, the violinist, also keeps his fingers insured and Caruso and other grand opera stars carry insurance against colds and other maladies. NEW DISEASE IN CANADA "One of the worst effects of the chlorine treatment of Toronto's water supply is an epidemic of imag- Inltls." says Dr. Hastings, M. H. O. Then he proceeded to hand out a few figures to prove it. "There are 480 drops In every ounce of water. A pint holds 20 ounces. A gallon, therefore, would nold 76,800 drops. The proporcion of chlorine Is one drop In 3,000,000 drops, and when /ou figure It out that means a slnglt drop of chlorine to about 40 gallons of water, and it is very rarely that chlorine reaches the consumer. It is almost always taken up by the organic matter in the water before It reaches the tap." Therefor*, argues the M. H. O. don't worry about the chlorine in the water Injuring your hair, your interior, or your plants. GEORGE D. TITE COMPLETE HOUSE FURNISHERS 3rd AVENUE - .
