Of these, two or three, at least, will be located In Northern British Columbia, where it Is felt much good work could be done to demonstrate the possibilities of the fruit-growing sections along the line of the G.T.P. o YAKOUN IMPROVED (Special to The Journal) Vancouver, Sept. 23.—The Canadian Manufacturers' As soclation has been in session here this week with a large gathering of eastern men in attendance. The election of officers for the year resulted as follows: \V. H. Rowley, the E. B. Eddy Co., president; W. Curry, Montreal, vice-president; G. Booth, Booth-Coper Co., treasurer; R. J. Rogers, Vancouver, vice-president for Britisli Columbia. Clearing of River by Government Authority Has Worked Advantages Reports from Masset are to the effect that the Yakoun River is being much improved by the work that the Dominion government is carrying out there. For many miles now it has been cleared of the accumulations in the way of logs that have accumulated. This will enable the salmon and trout to spawn and the Yakoun will be improved as a fishing river. The residents of the district are delighted witli the improvements. FAILED TO PASS ALPS Aviators on Third Attempt Forced Hack by Winding Snowstorms (Special to The Journal) Brieg, Switzerland, Sept. 23.— Aviator Chavese and Welmann have failed in their third attempt to fly over the Alps to Milan. They were driven back by a blinding snowstorm. Ladeolf, the Italian, who accompanied them, was also unsuccessful. Miss Sutherland, deaconess of the Presbyterian church, has arrived in the city to take charge of her work here.. ELECTRIC SERVICE Proposition to Build From Barkerville to Fort George on G.T.P. Surveyors Are Now in the Field Examining Route And Esti- milting the Cost (Special to The Journal) Victoria, Sept. 23.—To survey a route for an electric railway from Barkerville down the Willow river joining in the G. T. P. at or near Fort George, a distance of 120 miles, a party has been despatched by~Gore & McGregor of this city. The project is being undertaken by a Vancouver concern. The cost has not yet been estimated and will depend largely upon the report of the engineers. It is felt that if the line is to be built it must be rushed forward at nnce so an to take advantage of the freight handling during construction days. At Barkerville connection could be made with the stage line and automobile line.

FINAL CHAMPIONSHIP GAME TOMORROW New Westminster Lacrosse Team Will Undoubtedly Hold the Minto Cup—Last Saturday's Game Showed Strength of Team. Tomorrow the Xatlonals of Montreal again meet the New Westminsters in the deciding match for the Minto Cup, and in effect the lacrosse championship of the world. In the match tomorrow the Xatlonals will have to gain five goals over the Pacific Coast team to gain the trophy. The victory is to go to the team winning the greater number of goals In the two matches. With the score 7 to 3 last Saturday, it will be seen that the handicap to secure the championship to the Nationals is five goals. It Is not for a moment believed that the Westminsters will be defeated. The game last Saturday was witnessed by about 12,000 spectators, whose striking Impartiality was a feature to be remembered. The arrangements to handle such a huge crowd were excellent and from start to finish everything was kept ln order. All the stands were packed with people who assembled full of hope that a great battle would be decided", and ln this respect they were not disappointed for the game was exceptionally fast and certainly ranked as one of the finest exhibitions of lacrosse ever put up, says the News- Advertiser. It cannot be denied that the better team won and that the difference ln the score about represents the actual play. Midway through the second Quarter the homesters had established a lead of three goals and from this time onward the Issue was never In doubt, for possessing this advantage the Royals seemed to be suddenly Inculcated with Increased vigor and attacked the Nationals' citadel in a way which was thrilling to see. In the third quarter they increased their lead to five to love, playing great lacrosse all the while. Then an electrifying incident occurred, for the Xationals who at such a juncture could be forgiven for feeling a little downhearted, stormed around the goal mouth of the Royals, and Lalonde, with characteristic lightning rapidly, shot the rubber Into the net and scored the first goal for the challengers. Hardly had the game been renewed when the Nationals made another determined attack and within eleven seconds of the former tally, Dr. Lachapelle made the score read 5 to 2. At this period both teams were going great guns and the way the. vlstors rallied was indeed a revelation. Within four minutes of the start of the last quar? ter Dulude sent In a stinging shot which beat Gray and this made matters somewhat exciting, speculation being rife as to what would be tha final outcome. But the work of the Nationals to a great extent consisted of spasmodic bursts, while New Westminster played consistently stellar lacrosse throughout, never letting up through the whole progress of the game. The defence of the homesters was magnificent and this department was kept busy attending to Newsy Lalonde who as usual, had a box of tricks to unload. He proved himself to be a performer of the first water and always kept two men busy attending to him. Quite a few times ,he puzzled his checks and the way he slashed the rubber Into the goal mouth was not.h- (Continued on Page Five) There promises to be two reports from the streets committee at the next meeting of the council on Monday night relative to the dumping of excavated material from building sites. From the discussion that was introduced at last night's council meeting it would appear that the members of the committee, Aid. Lynch, Aid. Hilditch and Aid. Barrow are agreed that there should be dumping allowed by prospective builders. The point upon which Aid. Hilditch differs from the other two is as to the best provision to make to ensure the city in being put to no additional expense in finding other places to dump after being usurped by the private individuals. Early in the proceedings last evening Aid, Hilditch wished to know if no report was forthcoming from the streets committee on this subject. He had wanted to make a minority report on the subject. it was explained that the main report was not yet ready. Aid. Hilditch complained of the delay and believed it should be fought out in the council. Aid. Barrow, who was presiding over tbe council, ruled this out of order as no report was before the council. Aid. Hilditch, however, was apparently in no humor to be frustrated In his effort to have the matter discussed. Later on a specific application for leave to dump on the street coming up, the subject was again introduced by Aid. Hilditch. Aid. Mclntyre said that there was u small amount of material involved Permission might be granted In this particular as it had in other cases. Aid. Lynch pointed out that there was a question involved which was a serious one. If permission was given to fill in on the street for a small amount it would have to be granted for the larger amounts. The city would then find itself obliged to find some dumping ground for its own cuts on the streets. The acting mayor ruled that there being no report presented the discussion was out of order. Aid. Hilditch thought that the discussion was in order. The report was not presented owing to the negligence of the acting mayor. Aid. Barrow ruled It out of order and the matter again dropped only to come up a little later when Aid. Hilditch moved to allow.intending builders permission to dump material on the streets, the city engineer making arrangements that those using the streets should give a bond that they would become responsible for the added cost of the removal of city dumping to another place to the ex tent that their private dumping had made this necessary. Aid. Hildltch said there was a difference of opinion In the streets committee. He believed it was a duty to allow intending builders to dump excavation on the depressions on the streets. The engineer reported that there would be 46,000 yards of surplus rock ln section one. He him- suit felt that there would be thai amount required ln section five ana other sections of the city. He felt that the builders should have the privilege of dumping. They should i Special to The Journal) Scfftleber, Ont., Sept. 23.—The King Edward Hotel here has been destroyed by fire.

Ross, ol ii awa, has resigned from ii e custody of the Minto Cup, the emblem of the lacrosse championship of Canada, now held by New Westminsters, urging pressure of other business. It is understood his resignation is really due to a difference with Premier McBride, another trustee, regarding I lie dates for the championship matches. While no statement is given out, it is inferred that the Premier of the Pacific coast province insisted upon dates that would not work to the disadvantage of the Xew Westminsters, and with characteristic determination stood by his demands.

CONSIDER BIDS HIGH DIED FROM INJURIES Charles Daly Fell Into Hollow- Death Followed Accident (Continued on Page Five) Charles Only, a longshoreman, who fell near the corner of Eighth street and First avenue on Wednesday night, succumbed to the injuries he received and died last night. The coroner, J. H. McMullin is looking into the circumstances surrounding his death with a view to deciding whether he will hold an Inquest or not. Daly has not been here long, and has no friends living here as far as is known. He took a by-path which is used across a deep hollow near the spot where the accident occurred. This is covered by a single plank and Is on private property. He apparently missed his footing and fell a distance of nearly twenty feet among rocks. C. Cole passed shortly after and beard groaning. An alarm wns given ind the man discovered with his head badly Injured. Dr. Tremayne was summoned and all done to relieve him, He was found to be suffering from a concussion of the brain and bad other Injuries. Later he was removed to Dr. Ewlng's hospital but. all efforts lo save li Is life proved Ineffectual. Joseph Beaudoin, an employee of the G. T. P. was shot last night in his cabin located In the eastern extremes of the city. His companion, Alfonse Richer, has been placed under custody awaiting an investigation. He Is believed to have fired the shot that proved fatal and will have to stand trial on the charge which will be laid. As to whether the shot was fired accidentally or was deliberately discharged at Beaudoin will have to be investigated. So far as known there were no eye witnesses. Death was the result of a shot from a 22 calibre rifle. The ball passed through the left lung and also touched the heart. The two men were French Canadians and no motive for the shooting lias been suggested other than a report that they had some words over a question of money. Whether Richer intended to shoot his companion or discharged the rifle accidentally will remain to be shown when the case comes to trial. Sergt. Regan and Police Officer McEwan made the arrest, The shooting occurred about midnight last night. Tiiis afternoon the inquest opened.

THE GREAT SCENIC ROUTE OF CONTINENT LORD ROBERTS INSPECTS 0.0. R. Among the many honors bestowed upon the Queen's Own Rifles of Toronto during their visit to England probably none was regarded with greater satisfaction than the inspection of the honorary colonel, Lord Roberts, a few days ago. The Idol ol tne British army, In company with the Minister of War, Hon. Mr. Haldane, made an inspection of thi, Canadian force. Lord Roberts addressed the regiment observing that as he was honorary colonel of the regiment he wished to bid them welcome in person.

Continuous Erruption of Volcanoes Near I'liiiiiuk I'nss Attracts Attention of Sailors Concurrent with the rocking of building in the towns of Unalaska and Dutch Harbor by two violent earthquake shocks September 1, a new island thrust its head above the ocean's surface twenty-live miles to the westward, further increasing the Bogoslof group, the unaccountable change in which during late years has attracted the attention of scientists the world over. The quakes and attendant volcanic activities were reported at Seward by officers of the revenue cutter Bear, upon her arrival from Xome. So extraordinary were the changes in the Bogoslof group the officers of the revenue cutter Tahoma, which has been cruising about tbat part of the Aleutian islands, decided to make a detailed investigation. A party of volunteers, who will undertake to survey the new island and report in detail upon it, was or- ganiezd in Dutch Harbor. This is under command of Lieut. R. R. Waesehe, of the revenue cutter service. The party was landed on the island and it is their plan to camp there for a week or ten days. The earthquakes resulted in no serious damage. They occurred in a district where tremors are frequent and although they were a little more violent than those of the past several years, no panic resulted. The new island rose at a place ln the group where it was least expected because of the depth of the water. The soundings made by the geodetic survey last year sHowed a depth of seventy fathoms at tbat position. The new island Is In the form of a great rounded hill, very close to Perry Peak, the new island discovered last year by the officers of the revenue cutter Perry. Vessels arriving at Seattle from Behring sea continue to bring news showing how remarkable has been the activity of Mount Shishaldln or "Old Moses" as the volcano on Unimak island is known to old salts who have spent much of their time in the far North. Latest details brought by those on board the three-masted cod- fishing schooner Veda which arrived last night serve to indicate that the lofty peak which stands as a giant landmark at the entrance to Behring sea, has been in violent eruption for at least five months. ' While making the Pass last April Captain Pete Nelson and the crew of the Veda witnessed a tremendous upheaval on the summit of the mountain when vast bodies of flame shot heavenward and were later lost in clouds of steam, smoke and cinders, which finally settled on the mountain side. Many weeks afterward when the Veda was nearly 100 miles from Unimak island, those on board mistook the light at the summit of Shishaldin for Halley's comet which they had been looking for for some time At a later date news was brought from the three-masted codfishing schooner W. H. Diamond, that In coming down through Unimak Pass showers of molten lava descended on their decks and set fire to their spanker and rigging. The flames were extinguished before more serious damage, which threatened, had been done. At the time the W. H. Diamond went through, the soa for Fcores of miles was covered with ashes and floating pumice. When the Veda came back through Unimak Pass two weeks ago flames were still Issuing from Shishaldln and the sides of the mountain were covered with cinders. SPOR TS hARNED'S RECORD William A. Lamed, five times ten nis champion, has recently been out of the game with a sprained tendon, which he first injured when serving as a volunteer in the Spanish war. Larned has the most remarkable history of all American tennis champions. When he was 19 years old he won the intercollegiate championship in 1892, representing Cornell. In this tournament he defeated the redoubt able Bob Wrenn of Harvard. During the same year he was the runnerup at the national championships at Newport, being defeated by the then champion, O. S. Campbell. He was again runnerup in the Newport tournament in 1894, 1895 and 1896. The Spanish war kept him out of the game for some time after this, but in 1902 he achieved his ambition and won the all-comers at Newport by defeating Beals Wright and acquired the title through default of the champion, M, D. Whitman. In 1902 he defended his title successfully against R. P. Doherty, but In 1903 he wasb eaten by H. L. Doherty, who was the champion of England at that time. It was not until 190" that he renewed his tournament play. That year he again won the national championship defeating Robert LeRoy in the final round. He repeated his victory in 1908 and 1909, successfully defending his title against Beals Wright and W. J. Clothier. At Longwood he has been most successful. Beginning in 1894 he won the Longwood title 11 times, the other years being 1895, 1897, 1901, 1903, 1904, 1905, 1906, 1907, 1908, and 1909. LORD HAWKE'S BIRTHDAY especially a fighter. Two years of such a life will be a long time, and wnen at the end of that period Johnson attempts to get himself into shape to fight some husky young fellow iwth a lot of vitality and recuperative powers he will find that he wl" be in the same class as Jim Jeffries—"the can't come back class." It does not necessarily take drink to sap the vitality of a fighter. Irregular living, loss of sleep, lack ot regular exercise will do the work, and those who follow boxing are likely to see Madden's prediction verified in the case of Johnson. FAMOUS TROTTER Last month Lord Hawke, captain of the Yorkshire Cricket Club, celebrated his fiftieth birthday, and every lover of the national summer game will wish him "many happy returns of the day." For twenty-five years he has captained the Yorkshire team, and made it one of the most powerful elevens in the country. He is undoubtedly among the most popular cricketers in England, and has specially endeared himself to Yorkshire professionals on account of the keen interest he has always taken in their welfare. He is godfather to most of their children and out of the season he has each professional in turn, with his wife and family, if such exist, to stay with him at Tad- caster. It. is stated that among his lordship's personal possessions there is, perhaps, nothing quite so interesting or so highly valued as a little well-worn edition of the English prayer book. This has belonged to Lord Hawke since he was a child, and on its interleaved pages is entered a careful record of every Sunday he has spent abroad in his life. As Lord Hawke has been an almost constant travelled, the diary covers a good many pages. JOHNSON'S END In addition to having helped to make Milwaukee famous with his well known beverage, August Uihleln, owner of the Harvester, 2.03 Vt, the champion stallion trotter of the world is rapidly making Milwaukee famous with his grand racing machine which Is sweeping everything belori' him again this year. Milwaukee can well fetl proud of this fast stepper, as he Is the sensation of the trotting world again this season. This horse has an almost unprecedented record in the history of the turf in this country. Since that memorable day at Syracuse, N. Y., In September, 1908, when he first faced the starter, his fame has increased. The Harvester's record is: Owned by August Uihein, of Milwaukee. Age, five years. Champion trotting stallion of the world. Sire, Walnut Hall by Dam Netelet. Has never lost a race. Has lost only two heats. First race at Syracuse, N. Y., August, 1908. Winner of Kentucky futurity in 1908. Winnings to date, $42,700. Record, 2.03%; also world's mark for fastest heats, 2.04% and 2.03%, made at Cleveland, August 13, 1910.

Y 2,000 Columbus 3,000 Lexington, Ky., won two heats and was withdrawn owing to illness. 1910 Detroit 2,000 Cleveland 2,000 That the Harvester has been a good investment is shown by the fact that in the short space of two years he had won $42,000 in purses for Mr. Uihleln. BASEBALL SALARIES Of all the men actually playing baseball, and eliminating Connie Mack, manager of the Athletics, who owns stock In the club, Frank Chance manager of the Cubs, is considered to be far and away above all other active players in his earnings from baseball. This, too, is because Chance also is a stockholder ln the Chicago Cubs, owning a one-tenth Interest. Prior to the season of 1908, Chance received a salary of $5,500 a year, which was augmented by his dividends and the share of one player in post-season and exhibition game receipts. Chance had signed a four- year contract at $7,500 a year, but a dispute arose between him and Charlie Murphy, president of the club and he announced that he would not play with the Cubs. A Chicago man was sent to California to arrange a truce between Chance and Murphy. One of the conditions of the truce was that no party to it should ever reveal the salary part of the deal, whether raised or continued the same. But, with his dividends on his one-tenth interest, Chance earns between $20,00.0 and $30,000 a year, probably $25,000 a year on an average. This one-tenth interest was obtain- for Chance in the same manner ln which Murphy obtained a majority of the stock. Charles P. Taft, brother of President Taft, loaned money to Murphy and Chance to buy the club, which was sold at the bargain price of $105,000 in 1905, a figure so small that several persons to whom the franchise was offered, thought something was wrong and refused to consider it. Because of the national commission decision in his case sentencing him do play for his contract salary, it is known that Johnny King signed a three-year contract for $4,000. To this, of course, must be added what the players get from the post-season series, which, when the world's championship games are played, runs up to $1,500 to $2,000 extra. Brown, Overall, Tinker and Evers probably receive amounts varying from $4,000 to $5,000. Fred Clarke of the world's champion Pirates Is reputed to receive $12,500 annually for services as player and manager, while Wagner is called a "$10,000 beauty," although It Is not likely that figure Is correct. Ty Cobb of eDtroit, and Charles A. Comiskey recently picked as the greatest ballplayers of the time, were reported to receive $9,000 a year. Probably some salt can be placed on this estimate also. The average player of experience on a winning club considers himself worth from $2,500 to $3,000, while one with pretensions to being star estimates himself as worth from $3,000 to $5,000, depending on the club and his ability. This Is good money for seven months' work, Including the training season; more, probably, than the same player could average In other lines of endeavor. But the life of a ball player Is short. Club owners with winning teams are raking in enormous profits, and of sentiment there Is little. It is pretty safe to say that the players earn all they get.

Eight, miles of new tracks were added to the system and the car mileage was 20,974,016, an increase of 171,- 219 miles. The traffic receipts totalled In round figures $4,450,000. Of the passengers carried no less than 62,225,260 paid one cent, 132,- 920,172 two cents, and 17,042,626 three cents—only about 10,000,000 paying more than three cents. In this connection it is worth notice that at the half yearly meeting of the Central London Railway Company, Sir Henry Oakley reported that the two-cent stage had proved a success. Cheap fares encourage traffic and are profitable as well as a public benefit Billy Madden, the old-time fighter and manager of boxers, himself in his time one of the cleverest lightweights in the world, announces it as his opinion that two years will about see the finish of Jack Johnson as the heavyweight champion of the world. Madden can be credited with bringing out more good big boxers than any man ln ring history, barring Billy Delaney. Among the men he discovered and developed were John L. Sullivan, Charley Mitchell, Peter Maher, Gus Ruhlln, Denver Ed. Martin and several others. It was Madden who first saw the merit of Johnson as a lighter, which he became wise to when he matched Ed. Martin against the Texan black several years ago. Madden thought he had a champion in Martin, who was a clever and hard-hitting two handed lighter, but when he stacked him up against Johnson he soon discovered that he bad another guess coining. After that contest Madden, who hadobtained a good line on Jeffries, made the statement more than onnp that if Jack Johnson and Jim Jeffries ever met in the ring, Johnson would win, and he has stuck to his ground ever since, and had the pleasure of winning a considerable sum of money backing his opinion against, the New York admirers of Jeffries when the Reno fight was brought about. According to Madden's ideas now, Johnson can't last at the pace he Is going. Billy says that the big black Is living loo fast for an athlete.

WW*.40 w*i*Vv»'" .- *-■ *£* The Hermit kingdom and the empire of Korea have become historical terms. Twelve millions of people have been added to the population of Japan, and territory as large as England has become part of the Japanese empire. • The treaty of Portsmouth, which settled the war between Japan and Russia, reads that Japan shall have the guidance, protection and control of Korea, and the last stage of this agreement has now become an actuality after three years of experimenting to discover a practical method for preserving tire national entity of the Korean peninsula. End of Vi Dynasty The Yi dynasty in Korea has lasted for f>18 years. Seven branches of the family remain and the heads of these will rank as princes. A number of other Korean officials will be elevated to the Japanese nobility. Throughout the negotiations the mass of Koreans have been kept in entire ignorance of what has been happening. Tbe newspaper censorship is complete, and Japanese newspapers have not been permitted to be sold in Korea. It is not believed, however, that annexation by Japan will involve disturbances in any section of Korea, which is thoroughly policed. Certainly, the court and cabinet officials in the peninsula are quite complacent. The vast majority of the people of Korea realize that conditions in their country will be Improved and it will be impossible for the malcontents to arouse sufficient feeling to create uprisings. History of Korea The beginnings of Korean history are associated with Ki-tse, who Is said to have founded a nation there some time after B. C. 1122. In B. C. 108 the country was annexed to the Chinese empire. Soon after the Christian era it was divided among three petty principalities called the San Han. About 960, one of them, called Corl or Koryu, became paramount, and maintained Its independence during a brilliant period of progress. In 1329, however, a palace revolution took place, which resulted In the overthrow of Buddhism, the banishment of the priests, and the establishing of the present dynasty. In 1592 Hideyoshi, the Japanese regent, sent a large! nvadlng army into Korea as a first step to the conquest of China. His armies overran the country as far north as the Pingyang and Wonsan, but on the arrival of Chinese assistance Hideyoshi's troops were gradually driven southward, and In 1597 they were recalled. In 1627 the Manchus appeared and placed the country under vassalage, and from that date until 1894 a tribute-bearing mission annually visited Peking. In 1S64 the king died without having named a successor. The present Emperor Yi Hyong, then a child of 12, was chosen, and his father appointed Tai Wen Kun as regent. For nine years he ruled with a rod of iron. Persecuted Christians His persecution of the Christians led to a French expedition in 1866, which accomplished nothing, and the policy of exclusiveness and the doctrine of "Corea for the Coreans" was rigorously enforced. In 1871 a United States expedition, sent to enquire into the fate of a shipwrecked crew was equally fruitless. It fell to the lot of the Japanese to be the first to make a treaty of friendship and intercourse witli Korea. In 1876 they formally recognized the Independence of Korea, and In return the port of Fusan was opened to their trade, as were Wonsan in 1880 and Chemulpo In 1881. In 1882 Commodore Shufelt secured a treaty of friendship between the United States and Korea. This was followed In 1883 by treaties with Great Britain and Germany. In 18S4 with Italy and Russia. In ^886 with France, In 1892 with Austria, and In 1897 with China. Meanwhile there was much conflict ln Korea between the Con- servallves and the Civilatlon parties, but the latter triumphed. Independence was brought about by Ihe China-Japanese war in 1894-5. The ostensible cause of It lay In the dispatching of troops by the Chinese government to assist In suppressing an uprising of peasants. Without first notifying Japan in accordance with an agreement between LI Hung Chang and the Marquis Ito, active hostile operations were at once begun ln Korea, though war was not declared until August 1, 1894. Formal Independence Following the decisive victory of Japan the Korean king declared his Independence January 8, 1895, and the treaty of Shlmonosekl confirmed this. There remained, after the war, a powerful party, aided by the queen, inimical to Japanese influence. In October, 1895, a popular tumult, en gineered by the Japanese authorities, broke out at Seoul, and a mob invaded the palace and murdered the queen. The king sought refuge in the Russian embassy. For about wto years the Russian influence was in the ascendency, but in April, 1898, the contending powers entered into an agreement recognizing the independence of Korea, and pledging themselves to abstain from interference with the internal affairs of the country. In 1897 the sovereign adopted the title of emperor. Public interest was diverted for a time to China, and the question of Manchuria where Russia was firmly entrenched itself as a result of the event3 connected with the Boxer uprising. In 1903 the Korean bank of the lower Yalu became the scene of Russian activity, which was regarded with apprehension by Japan as constituting an attempt, to occupy Korean territory. The first landing of the Japanese troops was began at Chemolpo February 8, 1904, and on February 23 the emperor subscribed to a treaty by which, In return for a guarantee by the Japanese government of the independence of the imperial household, he bound himself to follow the advice of the Japanese government in the execution of pclitical reforms, and to enter into no treaty with a power contravening the terms of the convention. Practically Korean Independence was at an end from this time. On August 22, a second agreement provided for the appointment of Japanese financial and diplomatic advisers. In the second article of the treaty of Porsmouth, September 5, 1905, Russia recognized the paramount position of Japan in Korea, and in November tne emperor consented to a treaty with Japan providing for the appointment of a Japanese resident general at Seoul, who should have entire control of foreign affairs. This resulted in sporadic uprising of the natives In 1905 and 1906. o Judging from the talk of some enthusiasts, one would ifagine that the modern airship could do everything that, the bird does except lay eggs.

STAR CHAMBER PROCEEDINGS The city council is being charged in season and out of season with following a system of star chamber Bit- tings for the transaction of public business. We do not approve of the practice of holding private meetings on the part of any representative body as a habitual practice. On the other hand we do not believe that private meetings are not sometimes essential. Questions may arise from time to time when the city council would be perfectly Justified in holding a private session. The occasions, it Is true would, in our opinion, be very limited and no council should take to itself such a right except under very exceptional conditions. In the public interest there are occasions arise when the members of the council can best serve the public by a private meeting. We have not lost faith in the human race to the extent that we must regard all private meetings of a body like the city council as indicative of mischief plotting. There are questions of policy sometimes to be. decided by the members of the council which if discussed in open session might undo the very thing that the members of the council may have in view. All this may involve matters that are perfectly honorable and concerning which there is no desire to be secretive except in furthering the interests of the public. While tbe practice of holding secret sessions is open to being abused, it is surely going too far to suggest that all private sessions of the council are open to condemnation. o— — DUMPING GROUNDS There has arisen a decided difference of opinion on the Streets Committee of the City Council relative to the matter of dumping the excavations from private property on the streets. The subject has come up in a small way from time to time ever since the city has been incorporated. With the arrival on the scene of the city engineer and the preparation of estimates by the engineer's department of the cuts and fills, the situation has necesarily become more aggravated. Now the streets committee is grappling with the difficulty of finding a dumping place for the excavations from property where it is proposed to erect buildings. Aid, Hildltch wants to grant permission to dump the excavations on •the streets, at the same time taking a bond from the owner that be will pay the addiiional amount which it costs the city to carry surplus filling to another place in consequence of the fll'ing tbat the owner has placed there. Aldermen Lynch and Barrow, the other members of the committee, are agreeable to the allowing of the dumping, but are somewhat undecided how best to adjust the matter of ensuring the return of the difference In value between dumping the city's excavations according to the original plans and the new ground which may be necessary through private parties usurping the dump. All are agreed that nothing should be put In the way of those who want to build. Willi that we agree. Every Inducement should be offered to prospective builders at this particular slage of the cilv's h'story. To work oul any scheme thai will call for reimbursing al n future time when tho city wants a fill is n difficult mailer. Will: changes In the owners of property which will b" very frequent in a city like Prince Rupert, there would be a lot of trouble collecting unless the city fills are made very soon and collections effected. We fear that In the end there would be a number of collections that would never he made. What would be more Inequitable would be tbe fact, that some collections would be made on the bonds and some would escape. It would be belter rather lhan have such a state of Inequality lo arise to forego all restrictions upon builders for using the streets. It is quite possible that at the present, stage of the city's history it would be a wise policy on the part of the council to give permission lo dump on the streets free of all cost and without any entanglements in the way of bonds or advances to reimburse the city. The council might well offer such an inducement to prospective builders taking care that the excavations were fo'lowed by immediate construction, and the dumping was all done under the direction of the city engineer's department. Later facilities will be provided for h.e more expeditious and cheaper handling of material. Under the engineering department private dumping could possibly be so arranged as to facilitate work on the part of private owners and at the same time reduce the future cost to the city for additional dumping to a comparatively small amount. The council might with advantage consider the wisdom of offering what would thus be a small bonus lo construction work carried out'at once, li would later, perhaps, cost the city something, but the amounl at the most would only be nominal while in the meantime ai a period in the city's history when construction work is needed there would be a decided advantage which would many times over pay for the added expense later on. o The dance to be given by the Kaien island Club this evening is expected to be one of the very best that lias ever been given in this city. No expense has been spared in endeavoring to make this formal opening of the club a great success. The committees state that everything has been arranged for and that all is in readiness for a very pleasant evening. * * * Capt. Francis, special police constable, arrived on the steamer Bruno from Masset, and left aagin for Tel- el river, to secure witnesses in an assault case which arose over a mining dispute, which occurred several months ago. The defendant left the country when he received information that a warrant had been issued for his arrest. He returned recently and surrended to the authorities. The case will be heard before C. Harrison, stipendiary magistrate. * * ,;: The Salvation Army is about to open operations here. Major Morris, who Is In command of the work in this province, and Mrs. Morris, have reached the city, accompanied by Ensign and Mrs. Johnstone, and Lieut. Wright, who will have charge of the work. A barracks that will serve as a home for the officers will be erected at once on the lots purchased some months ago for the Army. The contract has been let for the building for about ?5,000. * * * At the council meeting last night the health committee reported upon the matter of the complaint made by W. C. C. Mehan, superintendent of the G. T. P., as to the nuisance offered by dumping refuse into the harbor. The committe reported recommending that in view of the fact that the city had no means of reaching the waterfront with refuse that Mr. Mehan be asked to let the matter stand over until the question of waterfrontage for the city was taken up with the G. T. P. o ■— THE HAIDA NATION Once Powerful Race is Now Reduced in Numbers on Coast. Under the Influence of Missionary Teachings Indians Are Recovering Places The fo'lowing Is contributed to the Journal by one who has made a careful study of the Queen Charlotte Island Indians: — Here and there, along Ihe shores of Graham Island, are twenty-three deserted Indian Reserves, with their totem poles standing as mute testimony of a former race of warriors, dreaded by all of the native tribes, from the California shores to the southern interior or AlasiU. The l"iis of thousands of warriors have dwindled down, until the nation now numbers but five hundred souls, and two well-kept towns hold the Increasing Haida nation, few in numbers, but a credit to their spiritual advisers and the Indian Department. Where the God of War decimated the once proud race; where the family crest was but a mark of the high birth of some ancient chief; where the shelving on two adjacent spruce trees marked the resting place of the conquerors of the hundreds of tribes scattered over the former colony and adjacent territories: now the churches and schools, city council and government agencies, peace and prosperity rules, and Is again bringing forward a stalwart and increasing class of citizens, who have adopted the ways of the whites. Future historians will sing the praises of the generations that have gone. We will deal with the remaining few and attempt, in a short article, to show the Halda Indian of today, in his true colors. In order to direct attention to the progress made in the past fifty years, it might be mentioned that former slaves of the Haida's are still living in Masset, and the son of the former chief is one of the best known residents of the Northern country, where he owns a launch, hotel, cattle and horses, and is the proud father of eight young Edenshaw's. Every Sunday morning he reads the Collect In the Anglican church and interprets, from English into Ihe Haida language, the sermon of the Anglican clergyman who directs the spiritual affairs of the native congregation Seated at the organ is the chief councillor, Alfred Adams, another descendant of the Haida's, and around him is massed the surplised choir of Indians who sing "the praises of the Lord of Hosts" from the hymnbooks used in the churches throughout the land. In one of the town stores Daniel Stanley, another councillor, dispenses wares of every description and was the recipient a few days ago of $1,- 500, the value of a schooner built by the Haida's and sold to Captain Clark of Vancouver. On the Yakoun River, where the Dominion government appropriated $10,000, for the clearing of that stream of the accumulation of timber, fifteen Haida's are employed, with a number of whites, and are expert boatmen and axemen. The construction of Agency buildings is in the hands of expert carpenters of the Haida's and a wharf, for the accommodation of ocean-going steamers, is also being erected by the Indians. The war canoes, of former days, are to be seen beneath the trees, in the neighborhood of the settlement, and the former resting- places of their dead looks primitive, even to the' inhabitants of the Masset agency. They have a graveyard, with the marble headstones and other signs of civilization, and have adopted the Christian methods in the manner of burying their dead. Their brass and reed band comprises twenty young men, under the leadership of one of the Haida's,- and the selections, given at their last concert, were from the latest and best composers. Each family is the possessor of a well-built and modern house and the streets are well kept, under the supervision of the town council. They are expert boat-builders and good fishermen. Along their streets stand several of the old totem poles and the older residents still talk in the native dialect, retaining their old customs and looking askance on the innovations of the followers of the white race. Here and there the evidence of old customs can be traced; but civilization is fast superceding the work of the ancients and should save from extinction the once proud possessors of the country. There is an object lesson in the regeneration of the Haida nation, and thanks are due the pioneer missionaries for their fostering care of the Indians. The Rev. William Duncan was the first to lead in the uplifting of the Haida's, paying them periodical visits and leading them into the path of righteousness. He was followed by the Rev. W. H. Col- ltson, a gentleman who spent the best years of his life on Masset Inlet and who induced the scattered Indians to move to one reserve. The church, rectory, scholhouse and other Improvements are monuments of Rev. W. E. Collison's watchful care of the Indians. He fostered their love of music, subscribing liberally to their hand fund. The Indians delight in singing the praises of their former spiritual adviser, and, to his watchful care the natives are Indebted for their freedom from many of the Ills that other Indians contract. He was also Ihe medical atl uidant, and kept the Haida's from dying off from con- i. vous diseases, caring for them by nignt and by day. During recent years the Indians of Masset have been fortunate in having Ihe Rev. William I-Iogan as their pastor. A graduate of Trinity College, and. a whole-souled native of Dublin, there are few men in the North who have not enjoyed the hospitality of this missionary. He has been nineteen years among the Indians, and wherever he goes, the natives love and respect him. An athlete, and a specimen of the race from which so many worthy Christian teachers have gone out to save the untutored races, "Father" I-Iogan is as much thought of in the great northern land as the late "Father" Pat was the model In the Kootenay's. In order lo show the labor performed by this missionary, we will give the work performed on Sunday last: He held morning ser vice In the Mission church, then proceeded to the white settlement on the Inlet, where another Sunday service was performed. Returning to the reserve, he held divine service during the evening and baptized two children. He thinks little of rowing from one settlement to another, at any time of the night or day, and performs the duties with that winning way which brings the respect, not only of his own congregations, but also of those who have been brought up in other paths. The church and the schools are doing more for the Haida's than many realize and their benign influence may yet save from extinction the few remaining members of this once powerful race. Situate at tbe south end of Graham Island is the Skidegate tribe of Hiada's. Their beautiful "White Village" can be seen from a distance, when entering Skidegate Inlet. This portion of the Haida Nation is Just as progressive and law-abiding as their brethren to the north. They have a school, church and other improvements, that tend to make them a well-behaved class, and are under the tutelage of the Methodist church. Only very recently one of their number has been sent out in the missionary field. He held the position of teacher in the Indian day school, and to Peter Kelly is due a great deal of credit for his zeal and good work. The Indians of Skidegate own a wharf and oil works, where they ship dog-fish oil and where the steamer calls every week. They are the best fishermen on the northern coast, and a large number converse in the English language. They also have adopted the ways of the whites, and own homes that are a credit to the native builders and. householders. Rev. J. C. Spencer Is the missionary in charge at Skldegate, and he Is indefatigable in his attention to the spiritual and physical wants of his charges. It is the intention to construct a beautiful church on the rising ground at the back of the village, and a new schoolhouse will be erected by the Dominion government. The installation of water-works and the erection of a second wharf at the village, are tinder way. A number of the Indians are employed at the sawmill In Queen Charlotte City, while others, who learned trades at the boarding schools, are engaged in other occupations. During the past summer the Haida's have been engaged at the salmon canneries on the Skeena river, where they all succeeded in accumulating a goodly share of the results of the season's fishing. They are now preparing fish for winter use, at the river's along the shores of Graham Island. On their return to their homes the work of building residents and improving their streets will be taken up. Their council are elective and the laws they promulgate are strictly carried out. Any visitor will find the young men ready to adopt the days of the white brethren, and no more tractable people could be desired. The half-century of civilization has done wonders for the Haida's, and it is to be hoped that the advent of white immigration will not leave in its wake the demoraliza- H;n so frequently seen, where the ancients and modernism come In contact. THE GREAT SCENIC ROUTE OF CONTINENT (Continued from Page One) a picture that is never ending in variety and grandeur. It will be but a very short time until this part of the route will be supplied with tourist hotels to meet the demands of the tourist trade that must be built up. Then again there are hot springs along the route that will add to the attractiveness of the resorts that may oe established. v Mount Robson Mr. Russell has several paintings, particularly one of Mount Robson, the highest peak in Canada, which are now on view at the exposition in Brussels. His trip, which has Just, ended, will enable him to execute some additional paintings which will be made use of by the company. From his enthusiastic relation to the Skeena River section of the route there will undoubtedly be some works covering this section of the line of road. On the way the party went into the Mount Robson district and took advantage of the opportunity of getting a view of that majestic peak. They camped for a time at Grand Forks which will be within easy reach of the mountain from the G. T. P. and made careful study of the scenery. While Robson of course overshadows the other peaks in the neighborhood, there are other attractive features and the whole will form a magnificent resort when the railway is completed and a summer hotel erected there. Changed Scenery Through the Nechaco Valley the scenery is more prosaic. Tiie country apears there to be more of an agricultural and grazing section with an absence of the more striking features met with in the mountain section. The members of the party are agreed, however, that in the trip across the province this will not be any disadvantage. It will afford an opportunity for a change of scene that will afford relief to the tourist giving variety that will be most welcome. At either end of the line insofar as the province of Britisli Columbia is concerned, there is the grandest and wildest of scenery. The Bulkley Valley affords a sort of blending of the two forms of scene. There is the rich agricultural areas with mountains rising in the background. A Rich Valley Of the Bulkley Valley they had no doubt of its becoming one of the richest of the farming sections of the province. The soil, they say, Is a good one, and should give rich returns to the farming community that will make its home there. They were surprised at the Immense area that there was offering itself to cultivation. Its productiveness has already been proved by the Immens • crops " hays and farrA produce including vegetables that are being raised on the lands there. Speaking of the Yellowhead Pass through which the railway will enter the province, the members of the party say that it dissipates the ordinary conception of a pass. It is ln reality a valley through which you pass before you are aware of the fact that the divide has been gone over. Members of the party on the lookout for the pass, had to be informed after they had gone through It that the pass was behind them. It will thus he an ideal pass for railway purposes. o Arsenic is mined In Japan, Italy, Portugal, Spain, Germany, England, and, within a limited area, In tbe United States. Its uses are many. As a poison it has been known from very early times. The peasant women of Austria consume large quantities of it, having faith in its virtue as a beautlfier, and the man of the same region are adicted to Its use In the mistaken belief that it increases their bodily strength and endurance.

DUMPING ON STREETS (Continued from Page One) only be asked to put up a bond thai they would if there was insufficient dumping ground for the city owing to this private dumping pay for thb extra haulage up to the amount they had put ln the fill. Aid. Mclntyre seconded the motion. Aid. Barrow, the acting mayor, did not know whether this was in ordei or not. Aid. Pattullo said he would favoi allowing the committee longer time to consider this ln view of the explanation of the chairman of the committee that further time was needed. He did not oppose this mo' tion on principle. He simply did It in order to give the committee time to report as asked for. Aid. Lynch explained thai Ihe difficulty he met In connection with this wns the necessity for safeguarding the granting of tho bond. Thero might be removals and the sale of property which would out ail all kinds of trouble In collecting the bond. He was ln favor of giving the fullest, opportunity to proceed with building and was willing to stretch the point as far as possible to allow this. Ho had considered the matter from all points and was not yet in a position to suggest a satisfactory way of safeguarding the city's Interests. The proposal of Aid. Hilditch was altogether too vague to suit him. There was no specification of any amount per yard for which the bond would be given. It was finally decided to lay the matter over for further constderalion by the committee. Aid. Hildltch and Aid. Mclntyre voting for the motion of Aid. Hilditch, and Aldermen Lynch and Pattullo against, with Aid. Barrow giving the casting vote against the motion. ing short of marvellous. He received some support from Dulude and Gauthier, the latter being responsible for some fine runs, while the former shone through the undaunted manner in which eh pierced his way through right up to Gray. Cattari- nlch played a solid game at point, but he was at times non-plussed by the sweeping rushes of the Royals' home brigade, who bored In repeatedly. Jimmy Gifford played grand, his checking being superb oil all occasions. Len Turnbull attacked with determination and at all times contrived to beat his man, a feat of no small significance, having regard to the speedy opopsition he had to contend against. He was the highest scoring player, managing to net three. The Spring brothers excelled at certain periods and the dazzling way in which they kept at their men and repeatedly led in a concerted attack, gained for them many admirers. As a team the homesters excelled, but when it came to Individual play there was not much to differentiate about, although Newsy Lalonde shared with Jimmy Gifford the honors of being the best players of the day. While no doubt to a certain extent the Royals' eariy lead had a somewhat demoraliizng effect upon the challengers, the French-Canadians are to be congratulated on the game they put up taking the match as a whole. Had they shown better combination instead of dilly-dalling while in their opponents' territory they might have brought about a more even finish. At one period they were playing 12 men to 10 and if they had persistently gone after their men instead of waiting for them to pass, it is quite likely that a different complexion would have been put on the game. As It was the salmonbellies recognizing their numerical weakness delayed as much as possible, waiting for the two men to come off the penalty bench. "Play the game" was repeatedly shouted, but the cupholders intended taking no chances and consequently played the monotonous "waiting" practice. Of course, New Westminster knew that they had the highest championship honors to de fend and one could hardly blame them for their tactics. Joe Lally, of Cornwall, the man who Is doing so much to keep up the prestige of the game of lacrosse as the chief national sport, faced the ball.' "The best team won," was the comment of Mr. Lorenzo Prince, one of the directors of the National club and managing editor of La Presse: when approached after the match. He, however, condemned some of the tactics of the winning team, saying that a few of the players used profane remarks during the progress of the game. He further deprecated the action of the Royals in playing a ragtime game, this expression referring to the occasions when the cupholders held on to the ball and kept dancing about without making any definite movement to attempt to score. Shiner White, the coach of the team, said: "Don't worry; we will take the cup back to Montreal." Some of the players who were asked their opinion declared that there should not have been an adverse balance of four goals. They thought that the score 5 to 3 would have better represented the day's play. Asked as to what arrangements would be made with a view to capturing next Saturday's match and possibly the Minto cup, the officials stated that nothing had been decided yet, but. Inferred that a decidedly different result would prevail in the second encounter, to be played next Saturday. The Nationals also staled that some of the men had not become acclimatized and that the mnjorily were suffering from colds and were not, therefore, so lit to play as on oilier occasions. The Association Makes Choice of Miss NcTavish to Take Charge. Institution Will Likely Be Ready About December—Woman's Auxiliary to be Formed The city hospital association at a meeting held on Tuesday afternoon when a report was read from the architect, W.

Mr. McLeod Will Preach First Sermon in Baptist Church on Sunday. Well Trained Minister Will Charge of the Local Congregation Take The new pastor of the First Baptist church of this city arrived on the steamer Prince Rupert on Wednesday evening. The Baptist people are very fortunate in securing a man so thoroughly educated and with such a wide experience. Rev. Mr. McLeod received his B.A. degree from Acadia College, the Baptist school of the Maritime provinces. He spent three 5;ears at the Newton Theological Institution, Boston, Mass., graduating from this school in 1901. Newton is the oldest Baptist theo- logicu' school in the United States. Mr, .McLeod also took a post graduate course for four years at the University of Chicago. He was appointed to a fellowship in the university which is a recognition of excellent scholarship. He received the degree of Bachelor of Divinity from the University of Chicago, and was presented with the same degree ad eundem gradum by McMaster University last June. Mr. McLeod has been pastor of several important churches and has had experience in various lines of Christian work. He has been pas- lor In Kansas, Wisconsin, Ontario and Illinois. The Baptist Standard of Chicago speaking of Mr. McLeod'a Chicago work, said: "Rev. W. H. McLeod, late pastor of Humbo'dl Park Baptist church, Chicago, nnd recently n \ Btudenl al the University of Chicago, has lie ul notably active In the work of the evangelistic band. Mr, McLeod has made a good record for himself in Chicago." A resolution passed by the Plrsl Avenue Church of Hutchinson, Kansas, says; "The work of Rev, Mr. McLeod has been almosl phenomenal .mil absolutely unequalled for iiuc- cess in the history of the church." Mr. McLeod will preach nexl Sundoy morning and evening in the building now occupied ley the Baptist church and situated at the head of Sixth Btreet. The members of the church cordially Invite the citizens of Prince Ruperl to attend these ser- \ ices and hear their new pastor. o Thomas Deasy, Indian agent at .Masset, is in Ihe city. lie has visited the southern pari of the Islands. o—■— Dr. A. 11. Wallace, of the Hazelton hospital, was In the cityt his week nn his way to Vancouver. The city council held a short sitting last evening. His Worship the Mayor, Aid. Mobley, Aid. Naden nnd Aid. Smith were all absent, there being just enough present io complete the quorum and allow the sitting to he held. Aid. Barrow was e'ected to act as mayor. The streets committee reported on several works. n recommended the putting In of a 16 foot plank way ut Seal Cove Circle from Eighth street at the junction with Kelliher and Sixth street. This was a work that has been petitioned for and the committee recommended acceding to it. A recommendation was also submitted by the committee that no change be made in the grade on Third avenue. As the difference to be effected would not. be great; as there were only fifteen petitioning for it, and among these there was considerable difference of opinion; and as any change would have to be submitted to the Lieutenant-Governor in Council for approval, the committee felt it would be better to allow the grade to stand. Aid. .Mclntyre felt that It would be wise to leave the grades on Third avenue as they were. This was the better course in view of the fact that the plans were registered. If left as it was it would allow work to progress. He moved the adoption of the report, which motion was carried. To Proceed With Work Later in the evening Aid. Mclntyre introduced the subject of work on Third avenue on a motion to proceed with the calling for tenders. He moved that the grades on section one should remain as it was and that the clerk should be empowered to do the necessary advertising for grading on Third avenue. Aid. Pattullo thought this whole work might proceed. First avenue should be graded as well as Third avenue. He himself, however, believed that these matters should go through the committee before being passed on by the council. Aid. Lynch believed that there were some matters to attend to on First avenue which necessitated delaying a little. Third avenue could With advantage be proceeded with. The motion of Aid. Mclntyre carried, which will allow of a start being made on Third avenue very shortly. In the matter of the proposed alteration in the grade at Hays Cove the committee recommended that it he lowered only four feet instead of ten feet as suggested. The petition with the suggestion will be returned to the petitioners. MODEL WHARF According to advices from Seattle, the new Grand Trunk Pacific dock In that port Is to become the headquarters of the port warden and his staff of assistants. The 50-ft. tower on the dock, which commands a view ot Klliot Bay and the surrounding waters, is regarded as an Ideal location for the official's offices. G.T.P. officials have expressed their willingness of furnishing quarters for Ihe port warden and as soon as the offices can be fitted up the official will move ln.

COAL NOTICES PEARL FISHING In the stirring times of strife between English, Dutch and Spanish traders in the East India trade during the seventeenth, century, the hardy buccaneers who visited Ihe desolate coasts of northern nnd north- western Australia, little thought as they faced the dangers of those unknown tropic sens that they were sailing over treasures far greater than those which they had obtained by force and fraud and which they risked their lives lo keep. The pearlier of today follows a calling as picturesque and little less dangerous than those hardy pioneer navigators of the Indian Ocean. Broome, on the west coast and Thursday Island on the north, are headquarters of the industry, but the western pearler has a far more extensive range for his operations, having at the same time more to dread from the violence of the tropical storms. Along the northwestern Australian coast from Onslow south to Derby north, a distance of about 1,000, the pearl oyster abounds; and although the diver is unable to work in water deeper than twenty-five fathoms, so shallow are the ocean beds in these latitudes that there are areas available some 250 and 300 miles from shore. Up to the present time all the diving is done by Malay or Japanese from luggers—small, well built, and equipped craft from five to fifteen tons carrying capacity Each lugger carries six or seven colored crew, and In most instances a white master, whose chief duty is to take charge of shell and prevent any peculation of "stones" (pearls). The accommodation on board the lugger is most primitive, the crew occupying closely-packed bunks forward, while the white master has, in most instances, to share his tiny cabin with his diver. This is a necessary evil; the diver having to give sailing orders is obliged to maintain a self-respecting distance from his crew. The deck space on the lugger is necessarily limited. The pumping gear—the most important feature of the boat's equipment—takes up a great deal of the area forward, while amidships is the primitive cuddy— a box of sand in which stands a camp oven—where all the cooking for master and crew is done—really wonderful dishes, too, the beautiful snow-white bread made with rice yeast. Aft, room has to be found for mes- ter's cabin, spareroom, repairing gear etc. Neither master nor men, therefore, have much room for exercise, and the master's life cannot be called strenuous. He can, if so minded, take swimming exercise in the shallows, or row in his dingy in the evening; but for companionship he must wait for his Sunday's visit to the schooner, which forms a base for a fleet of luggers, a store, a postoffice, nnd in some instances an hotel. The "skipper" of the schooner is generally a convivial old sea dog, known locally as the "old man," who makes his visitors welcome, dispenses hos- pita'lty and drives a brisk trade at the same time. On Sunday night each master rejoins his lugger at a favorable moment for wind and tide, and his diver directs his course to some chosen spot to be ready for work on Monday morning. At dawn all are astir on board. Coffee is made and served to all hands, the diver donlng his dress the while he takes his coffee and then his helmet 1b placed, the race plate securely fastened, and he Is lowered over the side and the air pump Is set going. Two lines are previously attached to Ihe diver's dress, his life (signal line) being under the care of line lair pipe), and pumper line his lender—a member of the crew chosen by Hie diver himself, ns his life while below Is In the "lender's" hands." There Is a weird fascination In descending to the ocean bed anil roaming fathoms deep through the submarine forests, or over picturesque reefs, treasure hunting. Hundreds of curious fish, attracted by the odd apparition, crowd around the diver, who will roam as far as his lifeline permits In every direction, trying to fill his shell hag. An experienced diver knows Just where to look, the presence of shell being variously indicated according to the nature of the sea bed He rejects chicken shell, that below a certain diameter, and stays below varying periods of from twenty to thirty minutes. If he be lucky enough lo strike a "patch" he might fill his bag in a short time, but fori une does not often lie that way, and he might spend many, many unprofitable days. As he Is always a shareholder, lie can be trusted to do I Skeena Land District—District of Coast. TAKE NOTICE that I, K. M.

As a rule they receive from £20 to £25 a ton for "lay" on shell, and a commission of from five to eight per cent on the value of any "stones" or "by-ar- rogne" misshapen pearls. Owing to the many risks attending the calling it is, however, left almost to the colored races. The greater number of fatalities occur through the rashness of the divers themselves in venturing, in calm weather into water twenty-eight to thirty-two fathoms deep. Budden death from paralysis may occur or the unfortunate victim of his own rashness may be a cripple for the hest of his life. During the months of June, July and August there is more deep water diving and many fata'ities, but the Maylas and Japs display a stoical disregard for death and there is always a candidate for the rear man's diving gear Immediately forthcoming. Accidents occur at times in shallow water also through carelessness In adjusting vital parts of the dress, fouling the lines or defective gear, but these are so rare that a great manw white men make experiments diving in from eight to twelve fathoms of water, and experience no discomfort after a little practice. A fine body of men the pearlers are as a rule, the open air, unconven- tiona life, and the charm of those tropic seas exercise a fascination which does not seem to wane even with advancing years. Veterans and pioneers of the industry, who amassed easy fortunes In the earlier days still return periodically to Broome- Cossak to compare their methols with those of the present, and taunt what they call "verandah pearlers" (those who own fleets but do not personally superintend them) with their lack of pluck and enterprise. Meanwhile the luggers range over seas which cover strange histories, and still present, odd sights. At the I.acepedges and Montehello Islands myriads of lurlles make their breeding grounds, and gulls their nests and here, by-and-bye, a new Industry in turtle hunting and bechelde-mer and tropang fishing will arise, Further soutii are Bernier and Dirk llantog islands, the former a retreat for natives suffering from contagious nnd infectious diseases, the latter a sheep run. Off these Islands there are still to be seen, at low tide, portions of wrecks of vessels of an earlier century, and from time to time par- liesof enthusiasts ransack the shore line of these islands hoping lo find burled treasures of the bucanneers, who evidently regarded these desolate spots as safe hiding places. Up to date, however, only n few rusty, battered relics, arms, cooking utensils, rusty bolts, bars and anchors of a bygone age have revealed themselves.

THE PRINCE RUPERT JOURNAL FRENCH NAVY PLAN Increased Expenditure on Warships By the European Republic Battleships, Cruisers, Destroyers and Submarines Are All Included in the Programme Tbe French naval estimates for 1911, which have just been approved in their general lines by the Commission du Budget, shows that out of a total expenditure of $82,500,000 for the navy, no less than $28,600,- 000 will be devoted to shipbuilding and artillery. Although this represents the greatest effort the republic has as yet made towards maritime expansion, the French naval men are by no means satisfied that it is at all adequate. They deplore the purely administrative expenses, unproductive from a military standpoint, which have Increased with every successive civilian minister, and absorb a relatively considerable part of the estimates, to the detriment of new construction and efficiency. They point out that Germany, with a total tonnage in commission superior to that maintained by France is able to employ (1909-1910) $50,000,000, thus half her marine budget, to provide for the future. With these views the parliamentary committee of finances fully concurs, as the reduction of nearly $80,000 it has made In administrative Items has shown. The new construction estimate comprises appropriations for the completion of the six battleships of tha Danton class and for the continuation of the Jean Bart and Courbet, for the completion of the armored cruiser Waldeck-Rousseau, for an ensemble of twenty destroyers in hand, for twenty-two submarines and for two mine layers, besides a small sum for the completion of a salvage dock, already ordered. Thus, altogether, fifty-five units will be next year in various stages of construction. To this very moderate programme, however, must be added two battleships of 23,500 tons, which will be laid down early in 1911, and for which supplementary estimates will be asked, should the "organic law" fall to be voted and promulgated in time. • It is Interesting to note that Important reductions have been made in the estimated cost of the battleships ln hand In government arsenals. Through a judicious appeal to competition, and also more businesslike methods in the awarding of commands, the rather startling economy of 9.45 per cent Is claimed to have been realized in the case of the Jean Bart and Courbet, now apparently to cost only $12,600,000 instead of the $13,800,000 that bad been officially anticipated from past experience. Even the Danton and Mira- beau, though they are rapidly approaching completion, have seen their estimated price cut down by $200,000. A slight reduction has also been found possible in the case of the cruisers Quinet and Rousseau. On the other hand the cruisers completing in private yards—viz., the Voltaire, Condorcet, Diderot and Vergnioud—are to cost on an average slightly more than was expected, a change which has excited some comment and seems to prove, contrary to the opinion held by many, that ships built by contract turn out to be more expensive than those entrusted to the state dock yards. From all this the one thing to be clearly gathered Is the intention of the admiralty to utilize to the utmost the resources of the arsenals and to suffer no longer naval contractors "to make their own prices." —o SETTLERS HUSH Gathering at Edson on C. .T P. For ElXOdus to Pence River Section What gives Indications of being one of the most historic rushes In the glowing annals of Canadian colonization, is scheduled to start from Edson, Alberta, on the line of the G. T. P. early In January, when the new fifteen foot wagon road to Sturgeon lake, the gateway of the Grand Prairie and the Peace river country, will be open to traffic. Already forty families, comprising over a hundred men, women and children, the vanguard of a host that is hourly Increasing and will probably reach several thousand souls before the great trek begins, are camped on the outskirts of Edson, awaiting the word to start. A heterogenous mass of household and farming utensils, as varied in their make and mark as in the nationality of their owners, strew the roadside. Dakotans and Mlnneso- tans, giving the He to recent reports that Americans are returning to their old farms in the States, Manitobans and Albertans, Russians and Germans, have pitched their tents by the side of the road for the last rest be- fort the start for the land of promise is made. Whole households are being moved. Women and children form no small part of the advancing army of colonists. Eight infants in arms are among the number. Horses, oxen and dogs are also being taken along. o POPULATION OF CITIES London 7,537,196 New York 4,766,883 Paris 2,714,068 Tokio 2,085,160 Berlin 2,040,148 Chicago 1,698,575 St. Petersburg 1,678,000 Vienna 1,674,957 Canton 1,600,000 Peking (estimated) 1,600,000 Moscow 1,359,254 Philadelphia ... .'. 1,293,697 Constantinople, estimated.. 1,125,000 Osaka 1,117,151 Calcutta and suburbs 1,026,987 NO ROYAL-VISIT King and Queen are Not Likely to Make Tour of the Dominions. Lord Wenlock, Who is Closely in Touch With the Situation, Gives His Opinion Lord Wenlock, K.-?.B., G.C.S.I. G.C.I.E., vice-chamber lain to the queen, and formerly head of the household of the Prince and Princess of Wales and ex-governor of the presidency of Madras, who is on a tour through Canada in the capacity of chairman of the Yorkshire insurance company, gave it as his personal opinion that it is very unlikely that King George and Queen Mary will, as crowned heads of the empire, visit Canada or any other of the great oversea dominions. A report to this effect which recently came in cable despatches from London he pronounced without hesitation as entirely incorrect. Lord Wenlock has long been on terms of close intimacy with their Majesties, and was a prominent member of the suite of the present king and queen when as Duke and Duch ess of Cornwall and York, they made their trip of the empire on H. M. S. Ophlr and their famous railway journey Canada from the Atlantic to the Pacific. He is one of the very few men who would be among the first informed if such a tour were now contemplated by their Majesties. He said quite emphatically that he had received no information whatever of any such purpose. All he had seen was the newspaper report on the other side of the Atlantic which he did not believe had the slightest foundation, and probably arose out of the fact that, as was well known, the king was deeply disappointed, owing to the unexpected death of his father—at being unable to go to South Africa to participate in the inauguration of the new federal parliament thera There are in addition to the fact that an entirely new precedent would be created by the reigning sovereign making a tour of the dominion, the Inconvenience and the risk attendent upon a long Sbsence of the king from the seat of empire, such as a visit to Australia would entail. So far as Canada Is concerned it would be impossible to come here without going to Australia and South Africa, as spch a trip to one great self-governing dominion would, If It did not actually give offence to the others, be deeply disappointing. Lord Wenlock added that the king and queen regarded with the most profound Interest the developments In progress here and in other parts of the empire and were always eager to know what was going on. o A farmer believing himself to be dying, sent for a clergyman, and somewhat shocked that good man by the offhand, easy way in which he announced his fitness to die Pressed upon certain topics, particularly upon the question of forgiveness to his enemies, he said he forgave everybody who had injured him, "except Johnny Smith." John had played him such a trick about the sale of a certain cow, that Ihe farmer declared nothing should make him forgive him. Impressed by the exhortations of the clergyman, and moved by fear of the consequences of dying unforgiving and un- forgiven, he turned to the minister and said, with an air of satisfaction: "All right; jest as you say. If I die, I forgive him; but if I live, by Jlm- miny, he'd better look cut!" NEWS OF THE PROVINCE Items of General Interest From Centres in British Columbia. No Report Yet Victoria.—The Hon. Dr. H. E. Young, minister of education, has authorized a point blank denial to a statement to the effect that the government has had in its possession for some weeks past the report of the University Site Commission. "Up to the present," says Dr. Young, "we have not received the report, nor have we had any Intimation of what Its contents will be . Before the educationalists who have the matter in hand left the city at the end of July, their chairman, Dean Weldon, stated that the report would be forwarded to us In the course of a few months We expect to receive it before the end of the present month. Any statements that we have received the report are absolutely incorrect." * * * Crimean Veteran Dies Revelstoke.—Capt. William Smith, one of the few surviving Crimean veterans, died at the home of his son, Mr. J. L. Smith, Campbell avenue, on Tuesday. The deceased >had reached the age of 85, and has been a resident of this city for many years, and his death will be greatly felt among the whole community. Capt. Smitn, who served in the Prince of Wales Royal Canadian Rifles and 17th Infantry, was the hero of many campaigns in those terrible wars of the Crimea. Okanagan Peach Output Pentlcton.—The big rush of peach shipments from southern Okanagan points reached Its culmination this week when average daily shipments of over three cars a day were made from the Summerland and Pentlcton districts. Summerland, with Its older orchards, Is contributing in the ratio of two to one this season. The Pentlcton peach crop will be many times larger next year, as a large additional number of orchards will have come Into bearing. In spite of the fact •that apple growing is still in Its Infancy here the outlook for a good harvest is very bright. Missionary Work Vancouver.—The home mission board of the Presbyterian church in British Columbia, which met In St. John's church, Vancouver was attended by Rev. Leslie W. Clay, Victoria; Rev. Dr. Ferguson, Nelson; Rev. D. Campbell, Armstrong; Rev. Dr. McLaren, Toronto; Rev. G. A. Wilson, Vancouver, and Messrs. W. H. Leckie and A. Sullivan, Vancouver. During the past six months five new mission fields were opened making a total of 73 maintained by the mission board. In addition 19 augmented congregations received aid, at an outlay during the six months ending September 30, of $11,322. The following appointments from Westminster Hall were made: R. L. Rayner, Duncans; R. C. Eakin, Stewart; J. J. Hyde, Shuswap; C. D. Kerr, Princeton; R. Van Munster, Jordan River; T. Morrison, Powell River; C. C. Inglis, Falrview; J. Macdougali, North Bend; M. W. Graham, Rock Creek. Must Buy Lands Victoria.—It transpires that the Canadian Northern Railway will have to purchase Its entire right-of-way and station sites and yards in British Columbia, involving an expenditure of several thousand dollars. No provision for a grant of crown lands for railway purposes was made In the contract negotiated between the company and the Provincial Government. During his recent visit to Victoria, Mr. William Mackenzie, president of the Canadian Northern, negotiated an agreement respecting this matter. The Provincial Government has decided to sell the company the property required at a valuation of $5 per acre for agricultural land, $2.50 per acre for uplands, and $1 an acre for wild lands, the inspection and classification to be made by a provincial land surveyor to be mutually agreed upon. Sells Fruit Land Vancouver.—At a figure approximating $100,000, Mr. Smith Curtis, ex-M.P.P., has just sold 1,600 acres of land which forms a portion of the original Deadman's Creek Indian reserve, near Savona, on the main line of the C.P.R., west of Kamloops. The area Is located ln the so-called "dry- belt," and comprises two large level tracts known as tSewart's Flat and Bates' Flat, on plateaus near tho Thompson River, and adjacent to the British Columbia Horticultural Estate Company, Limited. The buyer is a syndicate consisting of Messrs. James C. Shields, of Savona, F. W. Anderson, C. H. Clendlnnlng of Vancouver, and Robert Booth and Gordon Booth of Pembroke, Ont. It is the intention of the new company to set out young fruit trees, and as soon as these orchards reach a high state of development they will be divided Into small holdings of from five to ten acres. C. P. R. Hotel in Kootenay Nelson.—W. Sharp & Son are the successful tenderers for the construction of the new C. P. R. summer hotel at Balfour, Kootenay Lake, 20 miles from Nelson. The contract figure Is $150,000 and the hotel is to be completed by May next, so as to be ready for the opening one month later. Like the other summer tourist hotels of the C. P. R. the handsome structure- that will overlook the lake and the west arm will be chiefly of frame construction. Considerable stone and cement will however, be used and a large portion of the exterior will be rough cast. It will be the first hotel to be build by the Canadian Pacific in southern British Columbia. Scaled Mount Hammond Windermere.—On Friday, September 2nd, C. W. Harnden, of Boston, and Chas. D. Ellis, of Windermere, B.C., concluded to attempt the climb of Mount Hammond. This mountain has long been the show peak of the range, standing as it does far out from its sister peaks, looking majes tically down the valley. The start was made from an elevation of 8,000 feet. The summit, reached at about two o'clock in the afternoon, was found to rise to an altitude of 12,125 feet. There was no evidence whatever cf the peak having been climbed before. The summit was covered with fragments of green lime shale, tinged with red iron stain. The whole top would long since have disintegrated and fallen away but for the layer of lime just below. The crown is sp'it in almost equal parts, the south summit being only a few feet higher than the north. Mr. Ellis, after making his records, placed them in a bottle previously emptied, and deposited them in a cairn which he hastily built. Mount Hammond Is the loftiest peak yet conquered in the Selklrks, Its nearest rival being Mount Dawson, near Glacier, 11,113 feet. But Hammond must look to her laurels as many other peaks in the locality challenge her supremacy and the above record shows the great height of this part of the range, offering vast fields for climbers. Mount Hammond was named in honor of the late Herbert Carlyle Hammond, of Toronto, a public- spirited man, who for years was interested ln the development of British Columbia, and who was largely interested in the Paradise and other mines.

P. B. Will Extend its Line In That Direction An announcement from Halifax to the effect that the Canadian Pacific is quietly buying up property in that city once more gives color to the belief that the company will extend Its main line to Halifax In the near future, if it cannot secure running rights over the Intercolonial. Since the Canadian Pacific secured the control of the Dominion Atlantic railway, and with this an entrance Into Halifax, all doubt has been dispelled as to the Intention of the company to make Halifax a terminus of its main line. In Ihe event of failure to come to terms with the government for running rights over the Intercolonial from St. .John to Halifax, it is thought that the company will build a new line across N'ew Brunswick, starting from the junction of the C. P. It. and Intercolonial at Fredericton. Another Inducement for the Canadian Pacific railway to run its own trains into Halifax is the fact that It would save the company time and money if Halifax were made the permanent winter port for the fast pas- seffger boats, while St. John would continue to be the winter port for the freight boats. This, it is generally believed, is what will eventually be done. o Sugar Is said to have been known to the Chinese three Ihousand years ago, and there Is not much doubt that Hie manufacture of the article was carried on in China two hundred years 13.

Only the tops of th-. tlnee funnels showed above water when the Mon- eagle passed the scene bound to Nagasaki from Changhai The Bedford with the Minotaur, Kent and Monmouth, had just completed a four-hour full-speed trial and was running down when she struck, uf- ing about five miles distant from the other warships and much out of her course. The stokers remained at their post despite the inrush of water with the result that Allen Jones, artificer engineer in charge, fifteen stokers and two seamen were drowned. It was soon evident that the vessel was a total loss, she settling quickly, and tbe remainder of the crew was taken on board the Minotaur and Monmouth. The Japanese cruisers Yode and izumi, two salvage steamers and a large number of coolies were sent from Nagasaki and Sasebo, but heavy weather et in and they were obliged to put Into Mokpo, Korea. Meanwhile the Bedford gradually settled. The survivors of the disaster were sent home ln the steamer Nubia.
