Committees Will Arrange tin Detail Connected Willi the Distinguished Statesman's Visit Here Sir Wilfrid Laurler on his .-Isil to Prince Ruperl is to be given a public reception.. In connection with this move the city council will take* the Initiative. This move will, II is believed, meet with general approval and is in line with what lias been advocated by The Journal. Sir Wilfrid comes to the city as more than the leader of one of the great parties in the Dominion, lie comes as the first citiezn in this country and is worthy of all the ho'nor thai can be bestowed upon him. His visit to the west at this time as announced in the letter received by Mayor Stork since time ago, is one of duty as well as of pleasure. He is studying the needs of the west in order to better understand what is required. Al Saturday evening's meeting of the city council, Mayor Stork introduced the subject of a reception to the Premier. His Worship thought it would be better in every way for the city council to lake steps and provide a suitable reception. A committee could be apointed out of the council to be known as the striking committee, which would drafl the other necessary citizen's committees. Aid. Mclntyre was pleased to know thai this would not take a political complexion, As s Conservative, he would be glad to welcome Sir Wilfrid as a distinguished statesman. In doing honor to Sir Wilfrid citizens were doing honor to Prince Rupert, as it was due to his genius that this city was on the map. Aid. Barrow, while not owing allegiance to Sir Wilfrid's party or any other political party, thought steps should be taken to Welcome Sir Wilfrid. Aid. Naden was glad to own allegiance to the party of which Sir Wilfrid was the leader. He believed all parties would be glad to join hands in welcoming Sir Wilfrid here. He agreed with the mayor's suggestion. Aid. Mobley was pleased always to do anything to advance the interests of Sir Wilfrid Laurier. (Laughter.) He thought a genuine reception should lie Riven him. Aid. Pattullo thoughl thai if any place in Canada should do honor to Sir Wilfrid it was Prince Rupert. The city council might well take the initiative In this. Aid. Hilditch while nol affiliated Willi the party of Sir Wilfrid, was prepared to assist in welcoming liini to the city. He believed the Liberal Association would claim the privilege of entertaining Sir Wilfrid. He thoughl the council should work along lines laid down by the Liberal Association. Aid. Mobley did not agree with Aid. Hilditch', If he were a member of the Liberal Association he would feel it a compliment lo have the council representing all parties offer to take the matter up. ■Aid. Naden referred to the fact that when the Premier of the province came here he was given a general reception. He had felt proud to do his pari In that. Aid. Lynch wanted to see a reception given in keeping wltn what belonged lo the great, good man who had given his talents to this country. His Worship said the Liberal Association would not feel hurl In the least, lo have the council take this up. On mot ion of Aid. Mobley, seconded by Aid. Pattullo, Ills Worship was authorized to name a committee to deal with this. His Worship accordingly appointed Aldermen Naden, Pattullo and Mobley a committee to report to the council. At last evening's meeting of the council the committee reported on the various committees, and tne report was adopted. The report was as follows: — Your committee appointed to strike the various committees for Ihe reception to be tended lite Right Honorable Sir Wilfrid Laurier on his visit here, herewith recommend the following: Reception committee — His Worship (he Mayor, and the City Council, His Honor Judge Young, William .Manson, M.P.P., Bishop Du Vernet, ■iii i lartman, Rev.

In answer to a request from the property owners a sixteen-foot plank roadway is to be laid from Hays Cove avi-iin in MLlflh Eighth avenue to Kelliher.—This will include the lowering of the grade to the proper limit near Seal Cove. When tite matter first came up Aid. Lynch explained that while the cost was put by the engineer at $11,- (iuo, there would be an additional cos! of over $20,000 if the cut was to be made near Seal Cove. Aid. Hildltch did not approve of having the street ending against a blank wall of rock as would be ihe case If the ctil were nol made. Aid. Pattullo, in view of this proposed thai the facts should be communicated to the residents concerned. Aid. Hilditch said thai section one had been made a section for local improvement. Why should not section seven also be so constituted? The council had a right to assume some responsibility. Aid. Lynch did not believe thai section one would have been considered as an area for local improvement had it not been proposed that every streel in thai pari was lo be graded. If section seven was thus to be Improved every streel would have to be graded. It was nol so proposed, however. Aid. I'altuiio then moved that it he inferred to the streets committee for a report. This motion carried and last night It is acknowledged by those in a post ion to know thai Prl Ruperl will become in the next few years in,' greatest fishing centre nol only on tiie Pacific I cnl.-l, lull in tne world What this wiil mean to the city from i he standpoint of commerce is a dif- Uctlll thing io estimate. -Men like il:-.

Ind pend ( ij.o fishing industry altogether, the city will have an immense population to look alter the trade that is to develop. Add to that population over 25,000 dependent upon the harvest ot tiie sea and the outlook is enough to inspire all residents of the place with the most optimistic feelings. Prince Rupert is not to wait for the development of the fishing industry. Already a start lias been made on what will, when completed, be undoubtedly the largest tish curing plant in the world. The Canadian Pish & Cold Storage Company is not an organization that is seeking advertising. It is backed up by large capital and its plans for the future are all complete. It has but to systematically proceed with the work so as to be In shape to begin operations as soon as the G. T. P. is completed to the coast. Already the first contingent representing the work of construction is busy on the site of the curing works and cold storage which is to be located near Seal Cove. Xot Experimental The works are not to be of the experimental type. Those interested have gone fully into the whole question and laid their plans in accordance with the experience of the men best qualified to judge of the needs of the industry.

PEACE RIVER LANDS Hudson's Hay Company Official Puts It As Richest i" Canada Works Were to Have Been Established at Portland Canal in Connection Willi Smelting Device D. I>. .Mann, of Toronto, has begun action to restrain the Island Smelting and Refining company from disposing of processes or apparatus for the reduction of mineral ores. The action is directed against lir. J. S. Island, inventor of the process; W. A. Brodie, W. P. Green, of Toronto, and R. E. Southbick, of Port Hope, the majority shareholders. It is said Mr. Mann secured an option on the process in May for $2,000,000. Tills information has additional interest to residents of this section of the country Inasmuch as the process was intended to be applied to the treatment of the ores of the Portland Canal district. For some time it has been known that Mr. Mann had experiments In progress in Toronto looking to the ehiep treatment of ores such as are found on his properties at Stewart it was reported that the experiments had been eminently successful up to one ton lots and that now the inventors of the process were at work on five ton lots. The cost of treatment was, accord Ing to report, to be reduced to about $1 a ton, and Mr. Mann had In view works at or near Stewart. The announcement that trouble has broken out may alter the arrangements. o IMPORTS EGGS W. .1. McLean, who landed in York Factory from Scotland, as an employee of the Hudson's Bay Company in 1840, and who, with his family, remained a prisoner in the hands of Big Bear and his braves for over two months during the Kiel rebellion, is visiiing friends in the east. .Mr. McLean says that between Churchill and Nelson as a Hudson j Bay port there can be no possible hesitation in the choice of the former. Me has been at both places, and declares that while there is splendid water at Churchill, and wharves can be constructed against the solid rock, they will have to go out twenty miles before deep water can be obtained at Nelson. He has been all over the route of the proposed railway from The Pas to Churchill, and says that there are no natural obstacles of any account in the way of building the road. As for the feasibility of navigating the bay during four and a half months of the year, there is, he claims, no possible doubt. While ships have been lost navigating those waters, wrecks have also occurred in the St. Lawrence. Mr. McLean's opinion of the Peace River country, a greater part of which he has explored, is that it will be the greatest mixed farming domain in all the Dominion. o RETIRES FROM ORSERVATORY Canada Brings in More Than She Exports to Foreign Lands According to Vice Consul General P. Gorman, of Montreal, last year the Dominion of Canada exported 552,850 dozen eggs, while there were imported from the United States Russia, China and Japan 1,136,120 dozen. It is estimated that with an average of 76 birds per farm, or 60,000,000 for the whole of Canada there would be a profit of $60,000,- 000 a year, which shows the great importance of this industry. At pres ent there are said to be less than 25,000,000 fowls in the country. In fact, wheat and cheese appear to be driving meat produce off the farms PASSED ENTRANCE Successful Candidates at Examination II. hi Here for High School Work The result of the high school entrance examinations in what are classified as rural schools has beei announced at Victoria. Of a total of 321 candidates who wrote In these eentres 156 were sucecssful. Margaret Gladys Wilson, of Belmont 3chool in the lower mainland, ranked highest, obtaining 773 marks out ot a possible 1,100. The results for the Prince Rupert centre were as follows: — City of Prince Rupert Number of candidates, seven; passed, three. Mary F. Currie, 651. George A. Hunter, 641. Muriel F. Strathy, 62 8.

TAXING LAND VALUES Vernon City is Moving in Direction of Exempting Improvements in Levying Rates. Arguments Introduced by Mayor Husband, of the Interior Centre, In Favor of Move- Sir William Christie Severs Connec tlon With Greenwich There was an unwonted air of ex> citement and bustle about the little cluster of gardens and quaint old courtyards and mosque-like cupolas that crown Greenwich Hill, says a London despatch. In general, the famous observatory—the inside of it at any rate—is about the most peaceful self-contained spot to be found within twenty miles of London. Strange though it may seem, the Greenwich "observers" who hold the world's pulse and time its heart beats, are not even on the telephone! On Saturday, however, there was a great difference. In the first place it was Visitation Day, when all sorts of scientific, and not a few unscientific, people make an inspection of the observatory. As always while the official folk were listening in solemn conclave to the astronomer royal's report, the others drank chocolate and munched biscuits, and pretended to understand the astro- graphic telescopes and other instruments, and really enjoyed the mere toys like the wind-vanes and raln- guages and mirror where one could watch the clouds and see how fast they went. But this time there was a special undercurrent of interest, for it was Sir William Christie's farewell "at home' 'as astronomer royal, this being his last year of office. After thirty years of labor at Greenwich, with his little band of over-worked and tinder-paid assistants, Sir William is retiring in accordance with regulations, at the age of 60. To be sure he still seemed as vigorous to a press representative who had a chat with him, as if he were ten years younger at least. For Greenwich breezes are nothing if not healthy, and a hale old age has been the unfailing lot of the eight astronomers royal since the Merry Monarch established it in 1675. Still, with science as with the episcopate, youth is the present-day watchword, and on Saturday Sir William rendered an account of his stewardship. Both in his report and in his talk, Sir William paid touching tribute to the "zeal and devotion" of his distinguished staff, and their "loyal co-operation in carrying on and extending the work of the observatory. At a recent meeting of the city council of Vernon, Mayor Husband left the chair and moved the following resolution: "That in the opinion of this council, improvements should be exempt from taxation, and that taxes should be levied on land values only, and that imemdiate steps be taken to secure the opinion of the ratepayers on the subject." His worship In his argument in favor of thlB principle made some points that may be of special Interest In Prince Rupert at the present time. He said: I wish at the outset to dissociate myself from the theory of single tax as regards national and provincial taxation. I am not a follower of Henry George His proposition was that all taxes should be on land only, while I think this is a right policy as far as civic government is concerned, I do not think it should apply beyond it. I would lay it down as a principle of municipal government that taxation should be as far as possible in return for benefits conferred. Now let us apply this principle to the question of vacant and improved property. Take two lots side by side on the same street. One has a building on it; the other has not. Under our present system one must "ay a tax of say $100; the other $150. Yet we have to make and keep in repair the same amount of road past each lot. We have to build and maintain the same amount of sidewalk for each. We have to provide the same amount of street lighting, and not only this, but we have to lay a water pipe at a certain price per foot past this vacant lot which contributes no revenue to our water system to reach the lot with the building' on it. The only possible exception for which Improved property might be called on to pay taxes which the vacant lot did not would be for fire protection. We have lately introduced into this city what Is known as the local Improvement plan in connection with our sewerage system and cement side walks. In building our walks we have arranged that each lot-owner shall contribute according to the amount of his frontage. He pays in proportion for what he gets, no more and no less, whether his land is vacant or improved. Now if this local improvement plan is right, if Its principle is just, so then is my plan of equal taxation for improved and unimproved property also just; for the principle is identically the same. Take another side of this question. Our present system is a direct discouragement to the home maker. If a man owns a vacant lot we only tax him a certain amount, but as soon as he shows a little enterprise and helps to build up the city—and the business of every merchant, mechanic and laborer in the city—by building himself a home, we reward him by taxing him extra for his enterprise. Not only does it discourage home building in this direct way but it discourages it in an Indirect way in that by allowing the speculator or absentee owner to get off lightly in the way of taxes ft encourages them to hold their land at too high a price for the would-be home builder to buy It. Now let us look at the practical effect, it would have in Vernon. It would lessen the taxes on every im proved lot in the city and increase on every vacant lot. Leaving out improvements our land assessment this year is $1,082,950. It is calculated that a tax rate of 27 mills will be necessary this year if levied on the old plan and this will pro duce about $39,000. To raise the same amount on land only would require a rate of 37 or 38 mills. Now this sounds very high, but it is only sound and should frighten nobody. Let us take our examples again. Two lots on the same street each worth $500 but one vacant, the other having a house worth a thousand dollars on It. The taxes for each would he: Vacant lot, $19; improved lot, $19; thus It will be seen the vacant lot would pay about $5.50 more in taxes and the improved lot would pay $8 less as compared with the present system. An objection that has been urged against this plan is that it would effect our borrowing powers. There is nothing in this objection. I think I have shown that it is the only just and equitable method of civic taxation. There is nothing in it to alarm either us or the ratepayers, and all I ask is that after having the matter properly placed before them they be given a chance to express an opinion on it. All the other aldermen took part in the discussion which ensued and the matter was laid over to be reconsidered. PROLONGED SALE Rook Collection is Being Disposed of At a Very Slow Rate An auction sale which has already lasted nearly a quarter of a century is still far from finished at Messrs. Sotherby's, London. . It is the sale of the most extensive collection of ancient manuscripts in the world—the "Bibliotheca Phll- liplca"—to which Sir Thomas Phillips, who died forty pears ago, devoted a long life and a fortune of $500,000. The disposal of his vast library, which packed bis country mansion, Thirlestalne House, Cheltenham, from the basement to attic, began In 1S86, and the sales will continue at least another generation. Already thirteen separate sales totalling nearly 16,000 lots have realized $225,- 000, and there have been several sales by private treaty as well. The French and German governments have brought in many national mantiscrips which Sir Thomas Phillips acquired while ransacking Europe for his unmatched collection. Anything written on vellum, whatever its nature, was purchased by this ececntrlc collector, who described himself as "a vello-maniac," and gave any price that was asked for old manuscripts. The account books of kings and queens, the early records of ancient monastries, long-forgotten treaties between nations, and the autograph poems of fourteenth century bards were all eagerly nought by him. o RETIRING FROM HOUSE Henniker Heaton Will Not Again Contest Sent iiiaiiiiniaiiiiiiiiiiiwiHiiiniiinniiHiniiniiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiMHinniniiHinaiBiiiiii^ HAYNOR BROS.

A point that Mr. Richardson emphasized was that, when foreign capital is broughl Into the country It is the business man's duly to see that reason Mr, Richardson would like to see the great amount of English capital that is pouring into the country given the safest investments even though the ret urns may be more moderate. Mr. Richardson considers that optimism is an admirable quality, but it needs lo be backed up by enterprise and hard work. in a young country possessing the unbounded natural resources of British Colum- bit it is hard work and not speculating and dreaming that is necessary to produce results which bring to to the individual and to the community alike the prosperity that is to be had for the effort. A lealure of Mr. Richardson's talk in Vancouver was thai although it is nearly twelve years since he was here before he saw such marvellous changes in the southern seaport. At thai time Granville street was an open thoroughfare on both sides and the only buildings worth mentioning were on Hustings street. It is acknowledged that the de- velopmenl of Prince Ruperl niusi be much faster than that of Vancouver was for the earlier of those twelve veins. What a change ten or twelve ycuis will, therefore, make here!

"Strong intersts acting on expert advice have invested large sums in mining properties and arc building a railroad from tidewater to their prospects. The promising ground for prospecting is not confined to the immediate neighborhood of Stewart, bul extends north and south along the inland border of the coast range granite, furnishing still an ample territory for extensive prospecting.

German Says Mikado Will Conclude Alliance With Other Countries Professor Albrechl W'irtlit one of the most prominent of Pan-German politicians unci writers, is authority for Ihe statement thai Japan will nol renew her alliance with Britain when the presenl treaty expires, but prob-I ably will come Into the triple alliance with Get many. Austria and Italy. In discussion the matter, Professor VVIrth said "Japan will not renew her alliance with Britain. England knows tin's anil is taking the necessary precautions to strengthen her posil Ion in the Far East, She is enlarging and modernizing her Singapore fortifications. "Japan is seeking other alliances and has offered to come into the triple alliance with Germany, Austria unci Italy. She has also offered to conclude a defensive and offeni Ive alliance with Turkey, and has suggested a quintuple league with Germany, A ii -i i in, Italy, Turkey and hot. elf as members. 'To prevent Germany's entrance Into any sort of alliance with Japan, Britain Is trying her best to patch up all past differences with Germany." Ii is an open secret thai utterances on tin- part of Professor Wlrtb on matters political are inspired by officials high in governmental service, and on this accounl his words are looked upon as authoritative. According to Prof, wirth, Japan's Offers thus far have been tentative, bul have been made officially, nevertheless.

In a little uptown sion- where she sold materials used by actors, Mrs. Haverly had fought for an existence with a smiling persistence since her husband'! a distinguished death six years ago. The actor folk Scottish naturalist, has been in Ottawa atid has brought to the attention cd' the government tin- desirability of making a physical and biological survey of the Great Lakes. It is possible that he wil be asked to do the work. Sir John will be remembered as the naturalist on II. lei.ic-d Colonel Haverly, and they had two benefits for the widow, one in ihis city and one in Chicago. At one time Col. Jack owned fourteen theatres and twenty-three road com. panies and started on their careers such men as Daniel Frohman, George Evans and Primrose and West, but H. S. Challenger on Its world-famous those were palmy days, and when cruise of exploration of the physical the colonel died his wife and datigh- and biological conditions of the great ter found they had to make their ocean basins which lasted from 1872 own living. Mrs. Haverly was sixty to 1 s71;. nis home is in Edinburgh, years of age. The New Viceroy Sir Charles Hardinge, who has recently-been appointed viceroy of India in succession to Lord Minto, who resigns next November, furnishes an example of rapid promotion in the diplomatic service seldom attained. He arrives at the pinacle of diplomatic ambition at the age of 52, a record beaten only once before by Lord Curzon, who became viceroy at 40. But Sir Charles has spent many years in the diplomatic service, having entered it at 22, when lie went to Constantinople as attache, and was lucky enough to come under the notice of Lord Dulferin, then ambassador, who made him li is private secretary. Since then his promotion has been rapid, and he has served in nearly every capital of Europe and Asia. From Constantinople he went to Berlin and from there to Washington, where he received promotion and became second secretary, and acted us charge d'affaires for some time. After Washington he returned to the near-east, serving at Solla and Bucharest; went into the Far East at Teheran for a while, and then to St. Petersburg as secretary to the embassy, lie also served a short period as assistant under-secretary of state at. the Foreign Office in London. His brilliant abilities and the hard work he put in at these various places had already attracted the attention of his superiors, for the young diploma! was one who was never content with the mere perfunctory discharge of his duties, but took every opportunity that came in his way to get thoroughly acquainted with the language, the manners and customs, and the national problems Of I lie people among whom lie lived. In this way he became fluent in Turkish and Persian. To these accomplishments, he added Ihe attraction of ii distinguished appearance and ihe most' charming manners, and il was chiefly owing to this art of being able to make himself pleasant that the late king chose him to accompany him on Ills lour of the European cities which he made shortly after his coronation with the object ■ lilishing a friendly fooling with other nations. These experiences Sir Charles has published in a book on King Edward's continental tours. His next appointment afforded him an opportunity of displaying his powers, lie was sent back to St. Petersburg as ambassador, and whilst he was there the famous Dogger bank incident took place, when the Rus- slon fleet on Us way out to Japan Bred on some English Ashing vessels in the night, mistaking them, ii is supposed for Japanese torpedo boats. Excitement rau high at ihe time and a difficult delicate task lay" before the young ambassador. He not only succeeded in relieving the strained relations between tiie two nations, but laid the foundations of an enduring friendship with Russia by assisting in the drafting and signing of the subsequent Anglo-Russian agreement. It is these experiences both in Persia and Russia and the advantages he has talctn of them that make him peculiarly capable for his new post, for they brought him In contact with the weightiest issues upon which the external politics of India depend. He was recalled from St. Petersburg In IDOfi, and was appointed Permanent Under-Secretary for Foreign Affairs, the position lie now holds. It is interesting to note that his grandfather was Viceroy of India from 1S44-47, after having served In the Peninsular War. Another ancestor of his, the first Lord Hardinge was thanked by Parliament' for his services in India, and was granted a pension of $16,000 a year. Sir Charles Hardinge married in 1S90, the Hon. Winifred Sturt and has two sons and a daughter who has the curious first name of Diamond. Lady Hardinge, who was Woman of the Bedchamber to Queen Alexandria, is very beauliftil and a line violinist; among her most treasured possessions is a Strad valued at $4,000. She is an intimate rriend of Queen Mary. One of her sons was page of honor to King Edward, who was his godfather and lie was chosen as one of the playmates of the children of the present king. o In the far East the influence of Rome has been little felt-—thai is, the Influence of ancient Rome. There is a desire among the cultured classes of Japan to Introduce a new alphabet, and lo abandon the difficult and ancient form of national writing. Many literary men in Tokio have formed a society with this intent. The organ of the society Is known as "The New Japanese School," and It Is proposed to borrow twenty-four letters of the Roman alphabet, to which will he joined forty-seven simple signs and twenty-five accentuated. It is said that the proposed new system has been very favorably received both by the learned and commercial world. The elaborate funeral given King Edward cost the nation $202,500, as shown In the supplementary financial estimates Issued today. Parliament of Empire. There was more than a spice of constructive imperialism in m. address recently delivered by E. .1. Duveen at Ihe Hampstead Conservatoire, says the Montreal Witness. He touched on the dangers of imperial disintegration which would result if certain present tendencies continued unchecked, and expressed the belief that a solution of the difficulties would be found in the creation of a dominating parliament of the empire. He suggested that this imperial parliament might be composed of members selected by each of the parliaments of the self-governing states, and would represent the different parties In each, India, the crown colonies and the various dependencies would also be represented. The parliament would meet In annual session In London. Its scope would be limited to Imperial matters, such as naval and military and foreign affairs, so far as they concerned the empire. Among other (Itiestions which he considered could be dealt with by Ibis imperial parliament would he (1) the commercial relations of Ihe empire to foreign countries; (2) treaty making powers; (3) patent and copyright legislation; (4) coinage and currency; (5) mail service; (II) fisheries; (7) bureau of trade statistics; (S) naturaliaztion, and (9) emigration. Others besides Mr. Duveen hold that some such Imperial federation is the logical outcome of our empire's existence, and that as a side- issue it would go far to solving t ho vexed question of Irish home rule. That the present imperial parliament is overburdened with work all agree, and there is little doubt thai a asure of local government will lie granted to Ireland, sooner or later, either by a Unionist or a Liberal government. Bul it is still considered by many thai it would be anomalous to grant such self-government to one member of the United Kingdom without granting il lo others. An imperial parlhimen1 however, would have to deal with questions affecting our Hindoo fellow subjects, and our own flesh and blood from the British Isles, not only as they affected Canada, but as they affected the empire. Tbe objections, to that naval ideal of one fleet under one flag, would also be necessarily overruled, for questions of peace or war would then be decided by the voice of the empire speaking by its chosen body of representatives. Such an Imperial federation, say its spokesmen, would, moreover, have a great Influence In maintaining the peace of the world, and could take up many social questions thai can only be adequately dealt with by a broad world-wide outlook. Bul Mr. Duveen did not stop even here. He proceeds to tack provisions and qualifications on to his fine vision which go fa-' to nullify its purpose and to render it a poor, chattering absurdity. Such an imperial parliament as lie suggests could, he says, only proceed from an alliance based on preferential agreements. "lie ridiculed the suggestion: 'We are told that the empire must not be saved because preference, which is the only means for bringing about this result, involved the abandonment of free trade.' If free trade were incon- slstent with closer imperial relations, then away with free trade." As a matter of fact, it is not Ihe free trade of the Mother Country, but the exclu- siveness of ihe unlilial daughter nations that hinder closer Imperial relal ions. Our mother's house has always been open to us, but the lease move toward more hospitality to her down by the party among us that makes its boast of loyalty. Little Colonials of one stripe or another, and not Little Hnglanders, are the real weakness of the empire—sacrl- lic-e and service, and not selfishness, has ever been the cement that has knit ii together. We know the corruption and other evils engendered by a protective tariff. We see it at Its best or worst across the line. Such a measure adopted by the Old Country would cripple her foreign trade, on which she ultimately depends, would inevitably plunge thousands over the border line of want Into Hie pit of destitution, and would postpone, perhaps forever, any real measure of organized Imperial unity, SCHWENGERS MAT GO EAST II. P. Schwengers, of Victoria, winner of the international championship at the recent Spokane tennis tournament, has practically decided to make a bid for the Middle West and Western championship at the forthcoming Chicago series. While playing ai Spokane those who saw him in action are said to have been so favorably Impressed that they importuned him to try his luck In the larger field, where he would have to test his mettle against some real stars. They encouraged him to believe that lie has the style and form necessary for success. Schwengers has almost made up his mind to take this advice. If he goes he will leave in a few days and will participate in Chicago's tourney as the acknowledged representative of the Pacific Northwest. !•'-**■■ nBWMMJ MMM »W«*K 1 Tuesday, July 19, 1910.

The piles used are all gold treated so as to ensure them against the ravages of the toredo. Extending westward from this wharf on a solid rock foundation the main building is to be erected. This will be of reinforced concrete and will be carried up at the start to a height of four stories, li will be 145 feel in length extend Ing along the wafer from and running back to a de jit It of So feet. Eventually the company intend to extend the wharfage facilities along i lie full length of the works. linilwny Spur The tl. T. P. is fully alive to Hie importance of the undertaking and have already at work upon the site a force of men clearing the riglit of way for a spur tine directly in rear of the site of Ihe building. This will allow the transfer of the output 1 loin Hie cold storage directly to the cars, thus doing away with all unnecessary handling. While the company intend to do a general cold storage business, accepting all lines of custom work, the great work of the Institution will be in connect ion with the fishing industry. According to the plans there will be a capacity for the freezing of about one hundred tons a day, while the storage capacity will be about 6,000,000 pounds. The intention is to utilize all the fish taken and all the by products. The company will have a limited number of trawlers of their own engaged in the business, but they look to fostering individual enterprise, and will be prepared to lake care of all the fish offered. In this way a large Ashing community will spring up. These men will own their own gear and equipment and will at the wharves of the cold storage company receive returns for all tbe lisli they have to offer. The company will purchase these and put them up In shape to meet I lie demands of the market, and the money paid for this will be put in circulation In the city through the medium of the fishermen. Across the harbor a site will be obtained where the company will establish a fertilizer plant for the nlt.il ization of the fisn that are not food fish. In tliis way all that can be brought In will be taken care of. The fertilizer plant will be built on the most improved methods so'that there will be no objectionable features to it, tiiiil no nuisance will be created. Through Mr, Starrett and others the company lias the fullest Informa Hon relative to the fisheries and the •possibilities of develbpmenl In this line that is obtainable! The directors are In no wise going in tbe dark. I is years ago since the proposition was taken up by those interested and it was only after the very fullest in vestigations and the most careful nil culations thai the plans as now under way were agreed upon, Unlimited Supply The halibut hanks tributary to tin's port are looked upon as Hie greatesl in the world. These have I n to some extent exploited but with facilities for handling the product here at the very centre of the trade the development slum Id be wonderful. There are herring grounds in the vicinity of Prince Ruperl equal to (hose found anywhere else in the world and producing a lisli thai is fur superior to the oilier herring found on tin's coast. The cod fisheries are practically undeveloped and are said to be probably the richest branch of the Industry thai the north lias to offer. The gray cod will be treated in the usual ways known to the trade, bill in addition to ibis there is the black cod which so far lias been neglected by Hie trade because the iiesi method of treating ii was known. The black cod is pronounced to be a delicious lisli in a class all by llself and the company is prepared to bundle II catering m a high class market. It is capable of mild curing and is sure to find a ready market. The salmon Industry is another source of rich revenue. There is a large run of spring salmon in these1 waters and by the modern method of mild curing the spring salmon is coining Into general favor. These are but sonic of the more plentiful varieties of fisli in the northern waters and when the company gels iii full running order they will turn out an endless variety of prepared lisli foods ready lo meet, any and every demand of the market. The cheaper varieties will be shipped to the Orient while care will be taken to cater to the most fastidious of the trade. Additions Already Planned Later the company will put in smoke houses of Hie most approved type and other equipment for the curing of lisli.

TIIE NEW OOINAG1 Head of King Will Look in Different Direction From That on Old Coins When the new coinage bearing the head of King George conies to be minted—it will not lie for some six months yet—it will be found that the head looks in a different direction from that of tbei head of King Edward on tiie coins now in use. This is in pursuance of a custom which dales back lo the Stuarts. The head of the sovereign, which all our coins bear, is altered in position at the beginning of every new reign. The coin of Queen Victoria presented her majesty's face as turned to the left. I'be coins of tin- last reign presented Hie right side of King Edward's face. Those of King George will in turn present the left side. A notable tradition in connection witli the coinage is that none Inn, freshly minted money shall pass through the sovereign's hand.

PRINCE RUPERT JOURNAL Tuesday, July 12, 1910 THE SAILOR KING OF ENGLAND "I feel when 1 go to a party as if I was quite 'out of it.'. I know hardly anyone." The speaker was Prince George of Wales a few months before his wedding. He had been so much out of England, and had served so thorough an apprenticeship to the sea that he was almost a stranger in London society. Since then, however, the Prince has had to remain hostly at home, with all manner of duties to discharge as Prince of Wales. And yet, though he has taken up the burden, he has never real.y enjoyed social festivities, says the Winnipeg Free Press. When he was in Scotland, two or three seasons ago, shooting and fishing to his heart's content, he said to a friend: "This is what I like—this grand heather, and a day in the open air with a gun or a rod." King confession. And yet, with the hereditary sense of duty strong in him, he will put aside personal perferences for a quiet country life, and will, I prophesy, fulfil conscientiously and with dignity the full round of a Sovereign's heavy day's work. King George has always been very handy with the boxing gloves. When he was a youngster he began to practise fisticuffs. A solemn member of the House of Lords will remember a hot fight In which the young Prince was victorious. The peer, who was rather older than King Edward's two sons, was asked to spend the afternoon with the Princes. They played at hiding in out-of-the-way parts of the park. But the princes, in those days, wanted always to win the game, no matter what it was, and at last Prince George challenged the young nobleman to a match with fists. The latter did his best, but Prince George gave him a drubbing which has not been forgotten to this day. In the shooting lodge on the Balmoral estate there used to be kept some pairs of boxing-gloves, and King George enjoyed veiy much a good stiff bout with some member of his party. Collects Stamps Every stamp collector who call himself proudly a philatelist knows of the unique collection of stamps which King George possesses. Of course, he has had exceptional opportunities of getting stamps of great rarity. Here is a story which came under my own observation, showing now astute the King has been in adding to his collection. A young clerk in the city, becoming desirous of turning his stamps into money, advertised them for sale. He said they might be examined at his lodgings. One Saturday the clerk arrived to find a gentleman waiting to see his collection. He showed them, and the gentleman chose several rare specimens, and asked for a price. The clerk agreed to a certain sum, which was paid. The dull afternoon had not revealed the purchaser; but as he left the house the clerk was astonished to recognize the Prince of Wales—our present King! The Prince believes In doing things himself, and he had therefore come personally to inspect and buy these rare postage stamps. King George has always been impulsive, and this quality—not always a virtue in a ruler—has helped him in his naval life. From boyhood he was intrepid, and this was emphasized by the physical timidity of his brother, the late Duke of Clarence. One who knew them both well says that Prince George was always the first to leap off the ship into the water, and often It was not until Prince George was swimming In the sea and chaffing his brother that the latter would follow his example and take the plunge. When the two Princes were following the hounds it was Prince George' pony that led the way, and so it was with everything else. The King takes quick decisions; makes rapid preferences, and is still "the first to leap." Now with added responsibilities, he will probably be more cautious, though his nature Is to act on impulse. After Dinner Speech King George, though he Is a capital talker on subjects which Interest him, finds it far from easy lo speak in public. When he was asked to preside at a public dinner on behalf of a hospital he was very anxious as to his speech. He asked the Duke of Cambridge how he managed, and the old Duke—an experienced postprandial speaker.—said: "I have my speech typewritten, hold it in my hand, and refer to it when the moment comes." That did not appeal to the Prince and to the amazement of the Duke of Cambridge, who sat near him at the dinner, the Prince began his speech without any obvious notes. The Duke bad a disconcerting habit of Interjecting comments, and soon they began. "Cone-cited boy!" "Why didn't be do what I told him?" "Self-sufficiency!" "Absurd!" "He'll break down!" These and other far from complimentary exclamations were ejaculated by the veteran Duke. Hut the Prince held on his way, and his speech was quite a success. It had been memorized, and was delivered without hesitation. The result of the dinner was a very large list of donations. The Duke drove off with the news to King Edward, and told him how the Prince had defied his advice. All three had a hearty laugh about the affair. I am able to give an interesting incident with regard to the lamous speech at the Guildhall by the P/ince of Wales after his return fioin his tirement on the previous nigh'. Often he has accepted quite gaily the appointment of leaving Waterloo or Paddington by 7.30 a.m., and some months ago 1 saw him flash by in a special train which had left London as early as half-past six o'clock. He Is a martinet for punctuality, and his subjects will not run any risk of being kept waiting beyond the time fixed for his public appearances. Circle of Friends King George has never had a large circle of friends of his own age. His life at sea prevented this, and after his brother's death his public engagements were so heavy that he had little opportunity for cultivating many plenty of literature on that difficult problem. But he Is like King Edward in preferring to talk about questions, or to hear them discussed in debate, rather than wade through dull volumes or Blue Books. In his boyhood he was taught to admire the genius of Mr. Gladstone and the solid statesmanship of Lord Salisbury. In his later years he has studied at first hand the ideas of Mr. Balfour, Mr. Asquith, Mr. Chamberlain, and the late Sir Henry Camp- bell-Bannerman. His position as Prince of Wales did not alotgether prevent his expressiong—sometimes in rather emphatic terms—his sympathies on certain questions. Naval In His Home What a man is at home is a good Index to his true character. King George is happiest when, free from State duties, he can have a merry game with his lively little sons. The Princess Royal is rather "grown-up" and can be sarcastic about her brother'n pranks. But all the King's family are united in enjoying a frolic. They can behave very gracefully in public, as visitors to Marlborough House garden-parties can testify, but they like a game In the garden better than such solemn functions. In his boyhood King George was a source of much anxiety to his mother because of his LAND PURCHASE NOTICES Skeena Land District—District of Cassiar.

Halfway t'irough the speech a telephone message was sent to King Edward, by his special desire, stating what a splendid reception had been accorded to the Prince and Princess and how admirably he was speaking. The King bad a paternal pride, which found expression in this anxiety to know how things were progressing at the Guildhall. King George retains from his naval experiences a belief in early rising. He finds it no hardship to be up and about by half-past six in Hie morning, even after a late re- friendships. He likes to talk to elderly men, by choice men who have been in the Navy or Army. Famous politicians interest him, but their long speeches bore him sometimes, and he has a sailor's dislike of round- abount dialectics. "Why doesn't the man say what he means and sit down?" the King has been heard to remark after a weary speech in Parliament. During the last five years the King has made a fairly close study of political questions of the day. He read Mr. Sydney Buxton's excellent handbook giving in a clear fashion the arguments for and against most of the debatable question. Tariff Reform has interested him, and he has read affairs in Parliament have always been watched very closely by him, and the "Little England" ideas of a reduced Navy have been characterized in very strong terms by him at private dinner-parties and elsewhere. "I heard one day the most scorching criticism of a certain Peer's speech," said a journalist in the House of Lords to me. "I turned round, wondering who on earth would be saying such severe things, and lo, it was the Prince of Wales!" And that he Is King, we may be quite sure that he will hold the scales evenly between all politicians, and that any personal predilections will be kept in abeyance. lively liking for pranks. He would pinch one of his sisters when she was sitting listening to some solemn mayor at a foundation stone ceremony. And this habit of fun has descended to two of his sons, who have great difficulty in controlling their high spirits. Some years ago the King taught one of his sons a lesson in this way: He was disobedient, and his father said that, as a punishment, no salute would be given to the Prince when he went out. Now all King George's sons love to acknowledge the salute, and this was a terrible blow to the young Prince's pride. He could hardly believe that his father meant It. But, true enough, when he next quitted Marlborough House no salute was Skeena Land District—District of Cassiar. TAKE NOTICE that Reginald Davey, of Vancouver, B.

It was exactly the right way in which to affect the youngster. In the last few years King George has done his best to relieve his father of some of the heavy burdens of State. He has gone hither and thither, opening bridges, docks and town halls, and all that was possible in the way of Royalty's work. Though no great lover of the turf, the King has paid a few visits to race-meetings. Football he enjoys, so he has often witnessed great matches. Cricket, too, is interesting to him, and to his sons, so he has often been seen at Lord's and the Oval. His correspondence has been very heavy of late, but it has been dealt with with a most business-like promptitude. The dinner-parties at Marlborough House have been pleasant functions, for both host and hostess are good conversationalists. Usually the guests Included explorers, scientists, or artists, in addition to politicians. King George and Queen Mary have been kind patrons of several younger artists, sometimes sending for their pictures when they have been unable to visit galleries. In conclusion, let me quote the words of one who knows our King and Queen well: "They will make a fine pair." The prestige of the Throne Is higher since King Edward reigned—higher even than when Queen Victoria was alive. The devout wish of every British subject is that King George and his wife may have a fair voyage in the ship of State, and that the Empire's prosperity and happiness may be sustained In dignity and peace.

Recapture Convicts New Westminster.—Both convicts who recently escaped from tbe rro- vincial penitentiary at New Westminster, are now back behind the bars. The second of the men lost his liberty when recaptured by Detectives O'Grady and Jewitt of the Vancouver city police force at Hastings. Although the man had been five days free, it was believed that he had not yet dared to come to Vancouver and was lurking In the bush. The two detectives located him In the neighborhood of the exhibition grounds, although he had obtained a change of clothing from some unknown source. The original getaway was made while working in the potato field of the penitentiary grounds, but the first man was soon caught. The Clam Diggers Vancouver.—"The Clam Diggers," is the name selected for a new organization to be composed of newspaper men, magazine writers, advertising writers, and all those connected in any way with the literary end of journalism In Vancouver. Manager Rowe of the Tourist Association has had the matter under consideration for some time, believing that a social club of this kind will prove of great benefit, not only I exploiting the opportunities of the city and the whole of British Columbia, but be of material benefit to the members in their daily routine work, and in providing entertainment for prominent journalists visiting Vancouver. Quesnel.—The new road providing through connection between Quesnel and Fort George will be completed this season, which will meet all actual demands as the river route would in any case be utilized during the summer for economic reasons. John A. Fraser, M.P.P., says: "Road gangs are working from both ends on the Blackwater road. Five miles at this end are completed. I am unable to say how much from the other end has been finished but presume about the same." About thirty-five miles in all are required to complete the connection. The work Is in charge of Road Superintendent Malcolm McNiven, who in view of the increased demand for traffic facilities, deserted his other work of supervision, laid out the route personally and personally is seeing that construction is rushed, in execution of emphatic directions from the minister. m., in the court house. Word to this effect has been received at the city hall, and information was also given out relative to the matters to come before the commissioners for adjudication. All of these affect questions In dispute in and about Vancouver. Fight Pictures Vancouver.— A special meeting of the police commissioners considered the question of prohibiting the display of the Jeffries-Johnson fight moving pictures. At the request of the mayor and Commisisoners White and Von Cramer, Mr. G. H. Cowan, city solicitor, was on hand. After consulting with the solicitor, the commissioners concluded that they had no jurisdiction to prevent the exhibition of the fight pictures, even if they wished to do so. It was pointed out that the city council issued licenses to the theatres and they might possibly be dealt with in that way or by a bylaw, but while the police had power to see that the regulations of the council were carried out, the commissioners had no right in themselves to legislate against any particular class of moving pictures not already pronounced upon by law. In view of this the commissioners decided that they would take no action in one way or another, and it now seems to be left to the city council to deal with. Rig Scheme Planned Kamloops.—After inspecting the gypsum deposits at Grand Prairie, Henry Pearce, who was accompanied by Mr. Rear, of Vancouver on the trip, returned from that section thoroughly convinced that he has got hold of the biggest gypsum deposit In the world, one that will be able to supplant all other other competing sources for the manufacture of Portland cement. This is Mr. Pearce's first visit to British Columbia and he is amazed at the potentialities of this section of the province and has formulated plans for the carryiing into effect of several large projects, among which are the opening of the gypsum deposits and the building of an electric railway f''nni Kamloops to Grand Prairie, then to Vernon, down Okanagan Lake, bringing this city into direct touch with the extensive rfuit growing areas of that district. Serving as he did for some time under the late Cecil Rhodes, he has imbibed some of his grasp of great possibilities and in this portion of the province he sees scope for enterprises on a large scale that cannot but when completed increase its population and wealth producing capabilities. In his electric railway project, Mr. Pearce sees a factor that will operate as a feeder to both the Canadian Northern and Canadian Pacific railways and the building by the former of a railway to Okanagan lake from this point will in no wise Interfere with or militate against the plans he has conceived. Mr. Pearce has in view the harnessing of water power for the generation of electricity for the proposed railway and for pumping water for irrigation. "I saw lands that should support hundreds where there are only dozens. Thousands of acres of land are crying for water. It can be got and we propose to supply it." Railway Commission Vancouver.—The board of railway commissioners will hold a sitting in Vancouver on September 5, at 10 a. Convent and Church Burned Nanaimo.—The Roman Catholic church and St. Ann's convent were completely destroyed by fire, which started in the wash room of the convent shortly after 5 o'clock on Monday of last week. The loss is $25,000. There was only $3,000 insurance. The flames were fanned by a strong breeze. The water pressure being lamentably weak, the firemen were helpless. Forty orphans in the convent were rescued, though all their belongings were destroyed. Vancouver.—One of the most important seizures of opium made in the port of Vancouver has just occurred In the baggage shed on the C.P.R. dock,. and the customs authorities and the C.P.R. are working on the case which opens up an entirely new theory as to how opium is smuggled into this country. Matters came to head a few days ago when Colonel Worsnop, surveyor of customs, and Mr. G. E. Graham, superintendent of the C. P. R. In Vancouver, were in conference. The seizure consists of 140 cans, which are valued at $2,800, and Customs Officer Cosgrove was the man who discovered them. Last week a transfer rig took to the baggage shed a Chinese camphor- wood chest and the Celestial who accompanied it had It checked to Victoria. The check was issued, but later Customs Officer Cosgrove decided to look through the box as the rattle of cans could be heard when it was moved. On opening the chest a white sweater, the owner of which, it is claimed, Is known, was found wrapped around some cans and a number of pillow slips marked "Em- pres of Japan" contained the remainder of the opium which was in flve- tael cans, valued at $20 each. Customs officers have for a long time been of the opinion that opium which got past the watchmen on vessels was smuggled ashore in safety owing to confederates on the deck who knew the routine, and from this seizure interesting resultB are expected. The opium found was to have been sold in Victoria, but the methods employed in getting it to the capital were crude because any customs officer would know that a camphor- wook chest must have come off an Orient steamer, and his official instincts being aroused a Bearch would follow. Change Office Queen Charlotte City.—The office of gold commissioner and mining recorder hitherto maintained at Jed- way, Moresby Island, and of which Mr. Sandilands Is in charge, has by a recent decision of the government been transferred to Queen Charlotte City, Skidegate district, Graham Islands, Mr. Sandilands will remove to the latter centre of official action in the near future. In order that mining men of the southern island shall not be needlessly inconvenienced, Jedway remains a provincial police port, and Constable Walter Pres- cott is also commissioned as deputy mining recorder at that point. The date for the opening of the gold commissioner's and mining recorder's offices at Stewart, which had been set for July 15, has been postponed un til August 1, in consequence of the government agent, Mr. Conway, being on holiday terminable at the later date. New Mining District Victoria.—The provincial mineralogist, W. Fleet Robertson has left on an important summer expedition afield, his immediate destination being Tatlayoco Lake, at the northwestern corner of the Chilcotin country. At present this lake, lying a little to the west of Chilco Lake, is reached by a long detour westerly through North Chilcotin from the old Cariboo road. It is one object of the mineralogist's trip to investigate the feasibility and the desirability of having a shorter and better route provided by the construction of a road direct from the head of Bute Inlet. Clergy Protest Vancouver.— Rev. Father Che- rousse of Mission City, and Rev. Father LeChesne, representing the Roman Catholic clergy, have made representation with reference to the proposed gathering of Indians from all parts of the province in Vancouver during the approaching visit of Sir Wilfrid Laurier. They request that the civic authorities forbid the Indians to take any part in the reception if it was their intention to appear in native holiday costume of furs, etc. The visitors said their church had been endeavoring to free the Indians from every trait of their uncivilized days and their appearance on the occasion of the Premier's visit in native holiday attire would do much to undo this work. When Earl Grey visited the city some years ago Chief Joe Capllano arranged for a gathering to greet the Governor General here. Protest was then made against the braves appearing In their "devil clothes," but the civic authorities declined to in terfere. Smuggling Opium Illegal Rebates New Westminster. — Remarkable disclosures have been made to the city council by M. B. Cotsworth, city auditor. Deficits to the amount of $55,257 made up as follows: "City taxes, $14,327"; "Lighting, $16,- 115"; "Water, $25,815," were found. These are the amounts of illegal rebates allowed and cover a period of six years. Certain privi leged parties would pay their taxes six months, and sometimes a year; after due, but would receive the cash discount rebate. One instance of this is when Messrs. Lewis & Fader were allowed a rebate of $128 as though they had paid $640 cash in August 1909, whereas the city did not receive the money till December, 1909. During the year 1909 there were many cases where receipts had been dated August 18, whereas the money had not been paid till months later. The late treasurer will also be billed for about $50 or $60 arrears on his own electric light bill. There were many instances of electric light bills being allowed to run for years where the parties had a friend in the city hall. There were also many cases, says the auditor, where cheques were handed in in payment of taxes so as to secure the rebate, hut through favoritism these were held for some time, the city thus losing the interest on them. Another matter brought up by the auditor was the treasury as a source of free loans, no less than $1,333 being outstanding against civic employees. The city has lost in the neighborhood of $30,000 in the last two years through tax sales improperly conducted. Bills will be made out and collected where possible for all Illegal rebates during the past six years. Fell Into Furnace Grand Forks.—To fall into one of the large furnaces at. the Granby smelter, to be enveloped for an Instant by blue flames and sulphurous fumes, and to emerge alive and practically uninjured, was the thrilling experience of Jack Fealt, one of the oldest furnacemen on the works. A couple of severe burns on his wrists and badly shattered nerves are tho only evidences of his miraculous escape from instant death. Feak was working In front of his furnace, when one of the electric charge cars came along with a lnnd of coke. Feak gave the signal to the motorman to stop, and resumed his work. The motorman, however, did not see the signal, as the trolley ot his car had pumped from the wire, and at the time it was given he was engaged in replacing the trolley. The instant the trolley touched the wire the car rushed into the furnace, carrying Feak before it. There were several workmen around the furnace when this exciting scene was being enacted, and to their coolness and rare presence of mind Feak un doubtedly owes his life. The motor- man, whe he realized what had occurred, reversed the lever, and before the car had entered half way Into the furnace, it shot out again with lightning speed. Someone shut, off F.B.

As he did so Bill Emard, who was standing by the side of the furnace, caught hold of the man's arm, and with the aid of another workman he was instantly pulled out of the furnace. All these events happened in a second, but when Feak landed on the feed floor his hair was singed and his clothes were ablaze. While in the furnace he refrained from breathing. Had he done so, the sulphurous fumes would certainly have choked him. With the exception of the burns on his wrists, Feak suffered no bodily injuries. SCOn ACT CAMPAIGN Views Differ as to Advisability of Move in Introducing it Into Province. —THE— Correspondent of Montreal Star Presents Case From Standpoint of Opposition to Move A special representative of the Montreal Star sends to that independent and influential Canadian journal an interesting analytical reference to the recently inaugurated campaign in this province for "local option" in liquor traffic matters un der the so-called "Scott Act," the article In question containing food for reflection by British Columbians as well as touching upon certain phases of the situation here which have not heretofore invited public comment. "The Local Option League," says the correspondence In question, "now that the 'Canada Temperance (Scott) Act' has quietly been so amended at Ottawa by a classifying of the British Columbia 'counties' deflnition as to make It possible for anti-liquor extremists to invoke it in this Pacific province—has recently inaugurated a campaign in direct antagonism to the adopted liquor traffic policy of the McBride Provincial Government, and with such special energy as to suggest to many, an anti-Conservative partizan inspiration back of this Scott Act movement. "It will he recalleu that incidental to the last provincial general elections, a plebiscite was taken to test the feeling of British Columbia as a whole as to the expediency of the suggested adoption In and for this province of the Local Option plan. The Local Optlonists now say that they desired no such plebiscite, but rather desired the Government to adopt the Local Option principle without reference to the sovereign people; and that they held as distinctly unfair the plebiscite condition, which was that more than fifty per cent of the recorded poll for parliamentary members should also be cast for Local Option to justify the Government in abandonment of the principles underlying the present system. "Be this contention as It may, the Local Option League worked strenuously for a victory In and through the plebiscite In question, pressed constantly and keenly for every possible advantage in the count and recount, and then admitted in their own published statements a defeat by something between five hundred and six hundred votes—with not unusual recriminations nnd charges of unfairness in the rules under which their battle had been fought and lost. "The growth of prohibition senti ment throughout the country, as Indicated In the substantial closeness of the plebiscite vote, was voluntarily accepted by the Government as justification for the enactment of much more rigorous iaw and regulations concerning, the liquor traffic; and as a consequence, and after very comprehensive study by the Attorney General (Hon W. J. Bowser) of the contrasted liquor traffic laws and systems throughout the civilized world, an act was passed last session which is perhaps the most practical, and certainly the most drastic, on any statute book In the British Empire. This will become a law of British Columbia and strictly enforced from the 1st of August next. Its sweeping provisions were received with amaze and consternation by the trade—with corresponding jubilation and approbation by practical and temperate reformers. "Even Rev. Dr. Spencer, the leader of the Local Optionists, felt constrained to write to Attorney General Bowser congratulating him upon his measure. It, therefore, has been a general and almost complete surprise to find that the militant Pro diibitionists in British Columbia have not, as it had been expected they would, been content In common fairness to give the drastic new act a working trial, but they have moved meanwhile, without the knowledge of the provincial authorities or of the vast majority of British Columbians, to invoke the much-talked-of Scott Act, concerning the practicability as well as the principle and the expediency of which there certainly exist grave differences of opinion even among the most sincere and active of Canadian temperance workers. "At present the indications are that action will soon be taken toward forcing a vote for and against the Scott Act in such localities as in the plebiscite vote displayed strong prohibition-ward. To those who can and do regard the matter dispassionately and fairly this is particularly to be regretted, primarily because the principle of tair play suggests that the new provincial act, should be given an honest trial, and secondarily because in thus forcing a campaign against a distinct and long- considered feature of Governmental public policy, the Local Optionists sink the humanitarian and benevolent characteristics of their propaganda by making the temperance movement a distinctly partizan Issue in Provincial politics, from which it lias heretofore been kept desirably separate and distinct. "There are other sound reasons for general regret that the Local Optionists have been so ill advised to adopt their present course—one being that the very first suggestion of sin -cess which they may secure in the new policy they have seen lit to adopt, will mean destruction of uniformity and solidarity (and therefore of effectiveness for good) in provincial control of the liquor traffic."

Pattullo moved Hint the report of the committee be adopted and a rate of lif- teen mills on tbe dollar be struck as the rate for the year. His Worship seconded this motion. Aid. Naden Opposes Aid. Naden said that before the motion was put an opportunity should be allowed to go through the report and If deemed necessary strike out certain clauses. This was agreed to, and Aid. Naden took exception to $23,000 being allowed to stand for a city hall. He did not think that this should be taken out of current revenue. He had made some investigations relative to Vancouver. In 1900 in that city with the real property assessed at $12,826,905, the net rate was 16 V2 mills. Vancouver had then a population of 24,750. The urea of the site in Prince Ruperl was about three Square miles. while in Vancouver, while he did not know exactly what is then was, ii now was 21 square miles. In 1900 1050 Vancouver was assessed for real 150 propertj $ 18,000,000, with a net rati 150 of 20 mills, the population being 50 1 00, The fixing of the rale here 1000 at 15 mills would lead to the view heing taken that the city was going 6000 moo 2000 $13225 ! 1100 : 1050 L080 $15130 the pace a little too fast.

A Remarkable < ity Aid. Pattullo said that while the estimate was mosl remarkable in Hie history of 1 he wot Id, yel the sal held in Vancouver was the most remarkable in He- hls'ory of 1 he wot; ' He pointed out 1 hal in the figure - ■ii d wiiii re sped :.i Vancoui - wo nd P.- found 1 ".11 '■- hilo 1 he c-ial burden was greater according to populal "in. j el Hie calue pf the pro erty in Prince Unpen was just as high as ii was in Vancouver at Hint inn-. Tin- borrowing of money might in- more difficult next year than 11 would lie this year. While the city council had nut been iii office long yel it had to provide I'm- 1 be Inco ing council. He did not believe Hie j taxation would lie found let week ::: hardship. Aid. .Mobley called am miem in the I'ae-i that (be net rate in Prince '.'■ pert as proposed would only in- 12 mills as compared with 16% mills which was cited in Vancouver In i 900, 1 ;,. co 'in ii Has starting « lie untiling this year. There was - ing u> go cm wlf ii. Next year's eil would mii have this to face, li- had tun found anywhere in the province wlnre the rate was lower. Maj or Stork pointed out tha; .-. i the council acted I'm' only n pari of He- year, Hie city had to refund money to Victoria so thai in reality the expenditure represented the whole years expenditure. Tin- city started off wii h the absolute exemi Hem of improvements. The conditions here were extraordinary, a rate of fifteen mills was phenonn :. ii Vancouver was -O'j mills. The nut- side pui,lie- expected something of Hie kind. Aid. Mclntyre felt that in view of everything tin- rate was reasonable. While till unnecessary expense should be em down, lie would rather tun: nvei- a surplus to Hie new council than a deficit. Willi respect in the comparison witli Vancouver, which Aid. Naden made, it must be remembered that about that time what was now valuable property in that city was sold for taxes. He did not believe that. Hie assessment was too high in any case. Tin' Year's Rate Aid. Barrow wanted to know what the rate would be if the sums which might be charged to capital account were excluded. Aid. Pattullo thought it would be about ten mills. Aid. Lynch felt that the money lender upon going into the whole sit- imtion woind find nothing to alarm him. He did not think it would alarm the capitalist if he found that It was proposed to build a city hall and pay for it out of the revenue of the year, or to buy a telephone system in the same way. He felt it was better to get the money while the money market was in a suitable state. Aid. Naden said if this included interest and sinking fund which it was proposed to expend the rate was low. But this was not the condition. Prince Rupert was building on tiie future. The actual value was not here. He could not see why capital expenditure should be paid out of current revenue. He doubled the right of the city to pay for capital expenditure out of current revenue. A city hall did not need to be built out of cur- re.111 revenue. He would rather have a deficit than a surplus. It was human nature to spend freely as long as the money was available. Many cities in the interior were bankrupt really because they had gone ahead and spent too lavishly at the start. He was not opposed to the expendi- lure if it represented interest and sinking fund. He was opposed to expending that $150,000 on current account. Money that had to he raised lor water and telephone should not be paid for out of current revenue. He alluded to the fact that it seemed likely that it seemed likely that the fines imposed by the police magistrate for violation of the liquor act promised to amount to as much as Hie licenses would have brought in. Aid. Hilditch pointed out that in i:inii Vancouver was far smaller in area than it was at present, it was therefore far less .nan twenty-one square miles. He believed thai feu square miles would cover the area. Liquor lines Small Aid. Mobley wished to correct an Impression conveyed by Aid. Naden, There had not been very large returns from these men fined for selling liquor, he said. The men escaped or did not pay their fines. Aid. Pattullo discovered that in the case of Vancouver, while $160,- 000 was raised on Hie 16% mill rate, there was, he found, $485,000 raised, so Hint there must have been other sources of revenue from local improvements and other sources. Aid. Pattullo did not believe In treating a council as a kindergarten and allow for expending simply be- cause there was money on hand. Aid. Lynch pointed nut that while ,,,!s late provided for a considerable sum, nil of it would not he expended on current account really. Included In it was the refund to the Victoria Government, (he cost of fire equip- .. etc. Next year there would P.. the local Improvement rates coming in. Ud. Xaelen's pioposal to strike out $23,000 for a city ball was d0- id, only Aid. Naden ami Aid. Barrow vming for Hie motion, The Telephone Item Aid. N'aden then proposed to strike - 't the vote of $25,000 for the : : -phone system. The people did j •nit want to pay for it out of current' revenue, In- said. It should he paid nut of capital account. Aid. Mobley said no member of ihe board expected to pay for this out ! n current ic\ i-niie. Ii was a handy sum to have in the estimates, however. There was no reason why this Oiould te so expended. There were oilier ways in which money would lie tequlred which had not been provided 1 let-, if the sum was needed it could 1 I .- expended, but il it were not need- - 1 it would no! lie expended, Aid. Pattullo was nut afraid of '.living a surplus of $50,000. This v 1 - .1 Inner year m raise the money in than nexl year would 1 e, i< id. Naden saicl thai l " Eel 1 hat S50,000 more than was needed was being laisecl by this rate. Suggested 1 liniiue Aid. Lynch did not qu'te li-te to see this item in the estimates He would rather see it nut even if the rate was kept the same, Aid. Mobley did not believe it could In' -aid that tin- necessity had passcvl for this under Hie head it appeared. It might look hener under ihe head of contingency. Aid. Pattullo Was agreeable to changing Hie item lo c-onte under the| betid of general contingency ami telephone fund raiher than telephone fund. The change was made:. Aid. Naden proposed to strike out Hie- item of $1,000 for building In- <■•<«:. He thought that the fire chief could well perform the duties of that office as well as his own. Aid. Pattullo recalled thai lie had early proposed to join the duties of lire chief and building inspector. That was not acted upon. It was pointed out that tiie building inspector could do other duties in connection with the work on the streets. This might be found practical. Building Inspector Aid. Hilditch said that since the appointment of the building inspector, that official bad done all the repairing on the streets. He did not think that the fire chief could do the Work satisfactory. Aid. Naden wanted to know if $150 u month was not a high rate to pay a man for repairing streets. Aid. Hilditch admitted it was, but he said that soon there would be plenty of other duties for him. Aid. Naden said that this but bore out what he said—the council had gone too fast and the public- would say so. Tite proposal of Aid. Naden to strike out the $1,000 for building inspector was lost. The matter of the .police expenditure was introduced. Aid. Mobley argued that tbe policemen were working longer hours than they were required to work. There were none to many policemen. Five men were too few. Aid. Naden argued that he had shown where fifty per cent of the proposed expenditures could be cut off in reply to a statement of Aid. Pattullo that this was the time to show- where expenditure could be saved. Aid. Pattullo, in closing the debate on the estimates in committee, paid a compliment to Aid. Naden for the valuable assistance he had given. The committee thereupon adopted tbe estimates and reported to the council. I An inspection ol' our stuck of I [ouse Furnishing'S will convince you.
