SEWER QUESTION IS NOW BEFORE COUNCIL Aldermen Set Forth Their Views on Methods of Financing This Part of the City's Street Equipment —Policy Being Framed to Suit Local Conditions. Now it is the question of sewers which is agitating the city council. It Is felt that these can be most economically put in while the rough grading of the street is in progress. The sy.- tem up'on which the money will be provided for this work must be decided very soon if this is to be i:ne as the pipe will have to b^ irdered a little ahead especialy if it is to be got from the old country. Last night the question arose rather suddenly on the recommendation of the streets committee to purchase 320 feet of six inch sewer pipe to do some necessary work and also on the recommendation that tenders be called for pipe for Fraser, and Eighth streets where the putting in of the sewer, it was pointed out, would be much less expensive than later on after the grading was completed. Aid. Mobley moved thai a engineer be authorized to purchase the pipe. Aid. Pattullo did not care to see this rule followed of purchasing pipe without calling for tenders. Aid. Mobley did not want to see tbe rule followed all the time, but in this case It was urgent to get the pipe at once. Aid. Hilditch said the idea of the committee was to get this pipe as It was felt It would have to be got In Vancouver. Aid. Lynch said they must get some of this pipe at a very early date. The council was up against the question of sewer pipe. Aid. Pattullo thought they might as well thresh out the whole subject now. It would have to be settled. Government Grunt Aid. Mobley said that as he understood It there was sufficient ON PLEASURE TOUR LIGHTING CHARGES Attempt Will Be Made to Have City Electric System Self Supporting. Rates to be Charged Are Now Under Consideration by the Committee C. T. P. Party Spend A Short Time in Prince Rupert This Week E. It. Pitzluigb, •). E. Dnlrymple, And Others Are on Holiday Excursion There has been In the city for a few days tliis week a distinguished party of officials of the G. T P. Included in the company were E. H. Fitzliugh, first vice-president of the Grand Trunk, who is a director of the G. T. P., and Mrs. Fitzliugh anil daughter; J. E. Dalrymple, assistant freight manager of the G.T.P., Airs. Dalrymple and family, and Dr. Rior- dan, chief surgeon to the company. Accompanying the party were also A. E. Holt, president of the Crown Investment company. The parly paid a visit to the coast almost altogether as a holiday. Mr. Fitzliugh In fact admitted that his first trip to Prince Rupert was made In order to see the terminal point before it became a populous cily which seemed to be but a short time ahead judging by what he saw. Capt. Nicholson and wife accompanied the party to Prince Rupert and here they were taken to points of Interest by to. C. C. Mehan, general superintendent, and G. A. -McNicholl, division superintendent. A trip up the line for a distance of 36 miles served to give the officials a good Idea of the character of work that was being done In the construction of the line. They were well pleased with the road and were surprised to find it in such excellent shape before ballasting had been provided. Mr. Fitzliugh slated that he had travelled on. lines that, had been in operation a long time that were In no better shape than the section over which he travelled out of Prince Rupert. The townslte was gone over and by launch the waters of the harbor were (Continued on Pi-ee Four1 money from the government grant to do this work. Aid. Pattullo wanted to know If this was still available. Aid. Mobley thought that the money might be Included In that, but lie thought the money would be available. Aid. Pattullo did not think that this was the case. He was inclined to think the government had not charged this up but he did not know that the funds would be available after October 1. His worship thought that the government had not Included this sewer work in the account rendered. The accounts were too light for that. Discussing the general question of sewers, Aid. Barrow said he had Aid. Bui row's Researches I made a study of the report of the | city engineer of a Massachusetts city. I This report, by Mr. Snow, hit upon t a plan of getting a rental from the j sewer somewhat in proportion to the | use made of it. Ti.e rental ws , based i on Hired classes, those who used the | sewer, those whose property abutted on it and thus had their property increased 'n value, and the genera] public wiirFM Interest lay in th? health resulting. Th? user should pay ''.alf the cost accord in? to thi*; plan and lie was charged 'n proportion la the water nc put into It and that was as to the water used. There was a rebate of twenty per cent in tin; case "f tl.ofe using water for iawns and 7l i or i.tnt In the case of manufactories where it vas felt the water was nol v^sed ri the proportion set For those whose property abut- '"(1 on the sewer pne quarter was chnrvea which was on the basis of six-tenths as to area and tour-tenths as to irentage The general fund paid one-quarter of the cost. He would be glad if the aldermen wished'to read this as he felt some good ideas could be got. Aid. Hilditch felt they were giving more attention to tliis sewer question than was given to the grading question. He would like to see that a man who built his home should use the sewer on about the same basis as tiie man who did not improve his lot. lie would charge only about sufficient to pay a scavenger in addition on the user. lie thought that this should not be settled In a hurry. Aid. Lynch's Views Aid. Lynch stated his views. He felt it would be best to construct the j sewers from the general funds The \ fact that there was a sewer system ni part of tiie city complicated the matter. These people felt that they had paid for It from the fact that the sewers were there when they bought the property. In Ixing the rentals the question came up whtlier the users should pay the whole cost including interest and sinking funds. There was the argument that a sewer increased the value of the unoccupied property. It added to the value of the property and it was felt that the whole charge should not be against the users. Last win'er the citizens of Prince Rupert considered propositions for doing work. They were all on the principle of general fund. Sewer and water were to he provided from funds to he borrowed from the government which would be returned from general fund. The statement had been made tbat the government had given the city of Prince Rupert $25,000 to provide sewers. The citizens met and discussed the spending of this. These citizens and the committee felt that this was to be spent on the general fund principle. If that was not the understanding the few blocks that got the sewer got an advantage. A further move was made to provide for Improvements by borrowing from the government. It was petitioned against and upset. The argument against It was not as to building sewers out of the general fund fut nn the principle that It was not wise to expend a large sum under a commission. While there should be noth- At the council meeting on Wednesday evening the statement was made by Aid. Mobley of the electric light committee that work was going forward very satisfactorily. The placing of the poles in position might be started very soon and if nothing un- forseen came up the lighting system would he working in good time. Aid, Hilditch felt that the lighting sys/em should, like the telephone system, be self supporting. With a 200 kilowatt machine there could be 10,000 lights provided. He thought 7,500 lights snould be offered for sale in hotels and private residences and leave 2,500 lights lor the streets. The revenue to be derived should pay for the city lighting and for the sinking fund. Aid. Lynch wanted s ingestions from the aldermen. Aid. Mobley sin ted that Aid. Hilditch had stated just what the committee had in view. The committee did not know all about this matter. Any suggestions would be gladly received.. Aid. Hilditch said he had not known the plans of the committee. He had, however thought that this should be the general plan. He had hoped to get some light over in section seevn where all the "bad people lived." Aid. Mobley suggested that they "needed light" there. (Laughter.) Aid. Hilditch sugegsted gathering up the scattered wire which might serve in making connections. Aid. Lynch said the electrician had stated that in view of these wires not being insulated they would not be allowed to use it. Aid. Barrow felt that if the system was to be self supporting a very fair rate should be charged. It would be inadvisable to have auxiliary power owing to the expense and therefore there should be no inclination to hang the committee if something went wrong. His worshfp said that In Fernie where the coal was cheaper than here the rate was 65 cents a light per month. Routine Matters E. J. Chamberlin wrote that General Superintendent to. C. C. Mehan had been instructed to have the Inn Annex moved so as to allow the street work to proceed. This was received. L. W. Patmore wanted information on the question as to whether the plans of the Tsimpsean Light Company relative to the gas mains it was proposed to put on the streets was agreeable to the council. This was referred to the streets committee. o SUPPLYING MEAT P. Burns & Co., are Shipping Cattle Into Hazelton for the Winter. Cold Storage Building Will be Commenced Here Next Spring, it is Expected TO START GRADING ON THIRD AVENUE Motion to Call for Tenders for the Work Brings Forth a Full Discussion of the Relative Merits of Different Systems of Carrying Out Operations. Blake Wilson, of Vancouver, who is one of tiie most prominent officers of the P. Burns Company, is in the city. He has been making arrangements for the ensuring of a supply of fresh meat at the various camps of the Foley, Welsh & Stewart contracting'company along the line of the G. T. P. At present the company has about 1,000 head of cattle at Hazelton and are going to ship in steadily by way of Prince Rupert as long as it is possible to do so before winter sets in. Five hundred head arrived this week to go in by way of the G. T. P. line to the end of the road. From there the cattle will be driven along the right of way. This fall the cattle will be slaughtered at Hazelton and put in cold storage for the different camps. The supplying of the beef to the camps is a difficult task. Mr. Wilson says in all his experience in meeting the demands of various railway contracting firms in Canada and the United States, the work which they had to do in meeting the requirements on the western part of the G. T. P. is the most difficult he has ever had to deal with. It Is costly and hard to handle with satisfaction to the company which he represents. Speaking of shipments to Prince Rupft and the trouble with tainted meat this year, Mr. Wilson says that the past summer has been the worst in their experience. The weather has been unnatural and in consequence the meat gave them a lot of trouble. The dryness of the season seemed to have some effect and the beef, ln spit of all precautions, became tainted. Next year, he expects, there will br, pr',>i.ion ra.ide .for cold storage on the steamers. If there is not the company will take other means of overcoming the difficulty. Probably by spring the P. Burns Company will commence work on tnelr cold storage building on the waterfront. They have a lease of the lot nearer Centre street alongside of the Kelly building, and on this site will erect a building. At flrst it will not be very extensive, btiug adapted only to the demands of the trade. Later the cold storage plant will be j a large one to meet the trade of the i whole north. The council has decided to Btart I would not be business sections would work on Third avenue In section one then not be heavily taxed. The parts in three sections according to the where their would be enumeration plans of the city engineer. It will be : to be derived could carry this. A remembered that about two weeks plank road way would do these parts ago the council decided to proceed ] outside the central part. He would oppose the motion on this ground, and not because he did not want to see Third avenue graded. Work Made Value Aid. Lynch argued that the work could never be done as cheaply as now in tiie section below the junction and about Biggar Place. The people who owned property there desired the improvements. They were not children and felt that the work should be done. The cost would only be about $250 to do this Improvement work. The lots were valueless without this work but with the grading done the lots went up to $1,000, $1,500, and even $5,000 a lot. These people wanted the money expended in order to -make their lots' valuable. In Seattle he had seen a man pay $900 assessment which sold a lot which cost $5,000 for $40,000. Unless the grading were done now the with the whole work remaining in section one under the local Improvement policy it had adopted. The engineer reported on the work not now under way and all was ready for the calling of tenders. The advertising was ready and by this time the tenders would have been in hand. But at the very meeting when this was to have been done a letter was received from the Bank of Montreal, which had undertaken to finance the proposition, withholding the funds, temporary at least. A halt had to be called but with the bank's decision to advance further funds to the extent of $90,000, it has been decided to spend the money on Third avenue. At AVednesday evening's meeting the matter came up when a very free discussion followed on the whole subject in which Aid. Hilditch put up a light for the street work being done on the principle of borrowing money j property was kept reduced In price. on the credit of the whole city and so expending it. Aid. Lynch moved that tenders be called for This was the cheapest time to do the work. If postponed a year it would cost about $100,000 more.

Hildltch Objects Aid. Hilditch called attention to} the fact that there was no report from the committee with respect to stopping work on the section below j the junction of First, Second andj Third avenues. He felt that it would \ be impossible to collect from some' of these parts in section one where i work was not done. If the whole work cost $400,000 it would represent $44,000 that would be required each year. He went into the whole subject stating that with a total assessment of $7,- 157,200 in the. section there was about $4,000,000 of the G. T. P. tc be deducted, 'tills left about $3,157,- 500 of an assessment upon which tr collect and with $460,050 of G. T. P property upon which there could ba a levy the total was about $3,600,- 000. The assessment necessary to meet the half to be salsed on tho assessed value of the property was put at six mills on the dollar,. With about 1,600 lots in the section the rate which would have to be ni"t on frontage would he calculated represent about 1.3 % mills. This would amount to n tax of 1fl'v; mills which joined with the fifteen mills for geneva! a:- cessment would constitute a tax ol 34-}.i mills which was a heavy tax meet the cost of the work under all the contracts. He favored going right ahead. Aid. Pattullo supported the motion The council should go ahead. This policy was decided upon after a long discussion and they should go ahead with it. Pledging City's Credit Aid. Hilditch said that the council wns pledging the credit of the city to increase the value of a $300 lot according to Aid.

Wood, and it was recommended that a regulation be introduced making it obligatory on hunters to procure a license and undergo an examination in their knowledge of firearms. The presentment read in part as follows: Your grand jury deplore that as a result of persons being allowed to roam the woods in pursuit of game who are totally unfit to handle firearms, an unfortunate accident occurred on September 15th which resulted in the killing of one Chester Young. We would humbly recommend that a permit he taken out by all persons wishing to carry firearms, the age limit to be fixed at 16 years, and that before such permit be issued the applicant pass an examination such as would prove his ability to handle firearms judiciously, and that loaded firearms shall not be carried in public conveyances or in places much frequented by the public. Your grand jury has, after careful and exhaustive consideration of the wounding of Mr. E. D. Allen, on November 14, 1909, by a shot from a firearm, and after having examined a number of witnesses who, according to gossip and rumor, were in possesion of evidence of an important character bearing on this subject, and have found them groundless, have arrived at the conclusion that the provincial police department have diligently endeavored to ascertain the person responsible for having fired the shot and that they are still continuing their efforts in that direction.

P. is Tapping a Rich Country Mr. Arthur Bull, of Vancouver, who has returned from a trip to Edson, Alberta, confirms the story ot a big mica find at that town, and as an object lesson has brought with him as fine a specimen of mica in the natural state as could be found anywhere.

A description of the mechanism of the London Money market in its relation to the Bank of England, the joint stock banks, and the discount houses has just been made public by the National Monetary Commission in a monograph on "The English banking system." by Hartley Withers, financial editor of the London Times, says the Toronto Financial Post. Mr. Withers begins with an enumeration of the distinctive functions of the Bank of England, which he declares to be as follows: 1. Banker to the British Government. 2. Banker to tbe joint stock and private banks. 3. (a) Sole possessor of the right to issue notes which are legal tender in England; (b) sole possessor among joint stock banks with an office in London, of the right to issue notes at all. 4. Provider of emergency currency. 5. Keeper of the gold reserve for British banking. 6. Keeper of the gold reserve, which is most readily available for the purposes of international banking. The Ranks' Ranker These various functions fit into and supplement one another, and though their diversity is sometimes pointed to as throwing too much re- sponsibilty onto one institution, it, in fact, enables the bank to carry out its duties with extraordinary ease and with the least possible disturbance to the financial community. By the fact that it keeps the balancls of the other banks, the Bank of England is enabled to conduct the payment of the Interest on the British debt largely by transfers in its books. By the fact that It keeps the balance of the government and has the monopoly of the legal tender note issue, the bank has a great prestige to the eyes of the general public, which it communicates to the othe»»*anks which bank with it. Value of Credit in Bank A credit in the books of the Bank of England has come to be regarded as just as good as so much gold, and the other banks, with one exception, habitually state their "cash in hand and at the Bank of England" as one item in their balance sheets, as if there were no difference between an actual holding of gold or legal tender and a balance at the Bank of England. It thus follows, at times when an increase of currency is desirable, that it can be expanded by an increase in the balances of the other banks at the Bank of England, since they thus become possessed of more cash to be used as the basis of credit; for currency in England chiefly consists of checks, and customers who apply to the banks for accommodation, by way of discount or advance, use it by drawing a check, which Is passed on and so creates a deposit, and expansion of currency thus consists chiefly In expansion of banking deposits. This expansion Is only limited by the proportion between deposits and cash which the banks think fit to keep, and as long as they can increase their cash by increasing their credit in the Bank of England's books the creation of currency can proceed without let or hindrance. International Position Taking up the subject ot the position of the Bank of England in the Internallonal market, it is declared that London Is the only European centre which is always prepared to honor Its drafts In gold immediately and to any extent, The Bank of France has the right lo make pay- ments In silver, and uses it by often charging a premium on gold sufficient to check any demand for it; and in other centres measures are taken which make apparently free conver- tlblllty of credit instruments optional al the choice of tbe central bank. C tequently the Bank of England lias to be prepared to meet demands nn ii al any time from abroad, based 11 credits given to foreigners by the English banking community, and it has thus lo observe the signs of ■••'•■ atl in all : rts of the >■ 11 lil and to regulate the pi Ice of money in London so that the ex- : 1 nol be allowed to be- ttdvsi ' to a denger- ous point. The difficulties of this task are increased by tho extent to which the English banking community works Independently of it, by accepting and discounting finance paper, and giving foreigners credits at rates which encourage their furth- erf creation. For the low and wholly unregulated proportion of cash to liabilities on which English banking works enables the othe." banks to multiply credits ultimately based on the Bank of England's reserve, leaving the responsibility for maintaining the reserves to the bank. This it does by raising its rate when necessary, and so, if It has control of the market and its rate is "effective," raising the general level of money rates in London. How the Bank Controls Rate When its rate is not effective, the Bank of England finds itself obliged to intervene In the outer money market—consisting of the otlier banks and their customers—and control the rates current In It. This It does by borrowing some of the floating funds in this market, so lessening their supply and forcing up the price of money. By means of this borowing it diminishes the balances kept with it by the other banks either directly or indirectly—directly if it borrows from them, indirectly If it borrows from their customers, who hand the advance to it in the shape of a check on them. The result is that so much of the "cash at the Bank of England," which the English banking community uses as part of Its basis of credit, is wiped out, money— which in London generally means the price at which the bankers are prepared to lend for a day or for a short period to the discount houses— becomes dearer, the market rate of discount consequently tends to advance, the foreign exchanges move In favor of London, and the tide of gold sets in the direction of the Bank of England's vaults, and It is enabled to replenish its reserve or check the drain upon It. Summary In summing up the relation of the bank to the English money market and to the international money market, it is declared by Mr. Withers that the prestige which makes a credit in its books as good as gold enables the banking community to expand credits and make check currency as long as it is prepared to lend credit. At the end of the half year it is sometimes applied to for fresh credits to the extent of over twenty millions sterling, chiefly in the form of advances for a few days. On one side of Its account its holding of securities is expanded by this amount LOTS FOR SALE , in Ellison AND Prince Rupert Houses, Stores, Offices to Rent. MONEY TO LOAN C. D. NEWTON Real Estate Exchange Block Notary Public and on the other its liability on deposits Is similarly swollen. At the end of 1902, the last occasion when the bank's weekly return was made up on December 31, and so showed the full extent of the extra credit provided by It at the end of the year, the other securities rose from £27,- 647,000 on December 17 to £47,736,- 000 on December 31. The other deposits at the same time rose from £36,653,000 to £55,259,000, and this increase In the basis of credit was perhaps used by the other banks for the provision of five to ten times as much accommodation for their customers. A week later the other securities had declined to £29,625,000 and the other deposits to £41,073,000 though re-enforced in the meantime by the payment of government dividends. The emergency credit had been wiped out, when no longer re- ouired by the simple process of repayment to tie Bank of England 0' the sums borrowed from it; and the bank's proportion of cash to liabilities, which 'had fallen to 28 per cent on December 31, had risen to 38 3-8 per cent.

It is an- even by sight. He has, of course, to other example of that suppleness and figure up in the division lobby, when- adroitness which are part of the ever a division is called, there being The interruption of the vacation of Lloyd-George, chancellor of the exchequer, in order to be minister in attendance on the king at Balmoral, is one of the curious little ironies and surprises of present day political life, says T. P. O'Connor in the Chicago Tribune. When Lloyd-George brought In his budget he became the most hated man in England among the upper classes. He attacked what had up to then been regarded by the peers as the ark of the covenant which nobody dared touch. As everybody who has studied English life knows, land represents in England not merely its pecuniary value—which as a matter of fact is small—two per cent being regarded as an excellent return for money invested In land— but because it gives so much social distinction. When Lloyd-George made his attack on the land through the land taxes of his budget he roused the fierciest hatred that has been directed against a politician in all the long years since Gladstone first proposed home rule. What made this attack on the feudal class tbe more exasperating was that It all came from a man whom these exalted personages regarded as beneath contempt. A Matter of Distinction With us the distinction still persists between the two branches of the legal profession, and the attorney is still socially as well as professionally in a lower place than the barrister. To call a man an attorney Is almost to insult him, solicitor being the more regular and more polite way. When, therefore, the peer called Lloyd-George a little Welsh attorney he had poured out on him the last possible word of contumely and contempt. I give this as a specimen merely of the kind of language and the kind of feeling which Lloyd- George's budget, provoked among the uper classes in England. With my own eyes I have seen much greater proofs of the vehemence of this hatred. When I was taking a little tour with him a few months ago in Italy I could not help bearing the insulting observations that some travelling Englishmen uttered as Lloyd-George passed them. I have seen them shake their sticks at his carriage as it passed, and he has had repeated to him, to his great amusement, the hopes expressed by some tourists when he went out In a boat on the Lake of Como that he might find a grave in the deepest spot in its capricious waters. In Favor With King All this will make you realize better the shock of horror and surprise with which tills aristocracy now sees Lloyd-George called with especial favor to the side of the sovereign. It it but one of many proofs of what is already known on the inside, that of all his present ministers his majesty likes Lloyd-George the best. It was not so with the late king, his special favorite was Haldane, the war minister, largely, it was supposed, man's essentially Celtic makeup. I should add that this friendship between the king and Lloyd-George has not been of benefit on one side only. It certainly does send Lloyd- George stock up a good deal, especially in the social world—for which, to do him justice, Lloyd-George cares little—but, on the other hand, Lloyd- George has done the king a great deal of service as well. Carried Civil List It was the business of Lloyd- George as chancelor of the exchequer to carry the civil list bill—in other words, the salary and allowance of royalty—through the house of commons, and that was by no means an easy task. The labor members were watchful critics; there was a certain group of militant radicals, and there might easily have been some risks. This was especially the case with one new and rather startling proposal of the new civil list, namely, that the king should be exempted from the payment of income tax. The proposal, I think myself, could be defended, for it does seem ridiculous for the state to give a certain income to its chief and then take a portion of it away with another hand, but anyhow it was a novel proposition and it was only the daring courage, the adroitness, and the strong position as a radical leader which Lloyd-George holds that enabled such a provision to be carried through with apparently no serious opopsition. The king would have been a foolish man if he did not recognize the valuable service which Lloyd-George did to him in this transaction. This is one of the reasons why the king has gone out of his way to manifest to the public the high regard in which he holds Lloyd-George, and this is the reason why Lloyd-George, wno is never so hapy as when he is scampering over the continent in a motor car, has had to return to England long before he intended. Typical Englishman It is the unexpected success of Lloyd-George In winning favor ln quarters where he was expected to be hated and distrusted that brings into more relief his great difference in character from one of his colleagues who alone among the cabinet minis- ters has been making much ol a show during the recess. Sir Edward Grey cakes almost as much pains to incite indifference, '.t not hostility, among the ranks of his own party as Lloyd-George takes to make himself beloved. Grey might well be taken by painter, sculpter, or novelist ns the embodiment both j physically and morally of what may be called the "typical Englishman" —at least, as he appears to those who are not English. The long, thin, hatchet-shaped face almost without any expression —the cold, shy, blue eyes that seem to evade any notice, tbe frigidly self- restrained voice and language when a special obligation on ministers to attend divisions. Appears in Divisions The ministers, all told, big and little, amount to between thirty and forty members of the house, and it ill at once be seen that an important factor they must make in all the divisions, especially as often the whole fate of a ministry may depend on half a dozen votes—sometimes even on two or three. But if he has to appear in the division lobby he gets out of it as soon as he can. I heard a radical the other day describe Grey as rushing through the division lobby even when it is crowded with members of his own party as though it were an "infected sewer." When Asquith disappears, which of these two different men will get to the top—the supple, pleasant mannered plebeian from Wales or this cold, haughty, reserved, high born Englishman with the hatchet face, the cold eye, and the reserved manner? Who can tell? Chance has the final word in the destinies of all men, but especially of the men who ire fighting for power. because Haldane, like himself, could |lle speaks, the coldly correct impres- speak German as well as English. And yet, even with the late king, Lloyd-George was something of a favorite. Lloyd-George certainly always got on well with King Edward I have heard him speak with great admiration of the way in which King Edwavd managed to attract the good will of everybody who approached him, and he put this down to the king's remarkably beautiful manners. On that point everybody who got In contact with King Edward was agreed. I know a doctor who, by the way, was sent for no more when he told the king that he must smoke less—this was not the kind of advice sion he always suggests, the appearance of perfect equanimity and phlegm under which there is often strong feeling—all these things about the man would mark him as an Englishman if you met him among scores of other men in any part of the world. Grey Modest Man As a matter of fact, I believe Sir Edward Grey is a very modest, simple, and rather shy man. He is also by temperament a very lonely man. He had only one close companion in his whole life, and that was his wife. She was taken away from him suddenly, tragically, without warning, NEW LOUD MAYOR Sir Thomas Strong Will Have Important Part in Coronation =JC/'AV^va£^?jEK— , LAND PJRCHASE NOTICES PHONE 3 Letter Heads, Envelopes, Statements, Business Cards Visiting Cards, etc., etc. Prince Rupert Journal Coast Land District—District of Skeena.

Strong who has been elected lord mayor of London without opposition is a temperance advocate, and enjoys the distinction of being the first teetotaler chosen as chief magistrate of the metropolis. He was born in 1857, and in 1900 married the eldest daughter of the late James Hartnell. The lord mayor will be sworn in on November 8, and the following day, as usual, will be marked by a general holiday, and a great pageant. The lord mayor of London receives a salary of $50,000 a year and lives in the famous Mansion House, opposite the Bank of England, the home of the chief executives of London since easly in the eighteenth century. By right of office, the lord mayor will become a chief butler and cupbearer to his majesty, and the lord mayor will play an important part in the exercises and ceremonies at London upon the coronation of King George next June. In addition to being provided with a big salary and a mansion, the lord mayor has many other perquisites. The municipal government provides him with gentlemen in waiting, a purse-bearer, a sword-bearer, a marshal, a chaplain and a personal hangman, the last named job has been something of a sinecure, but there was a time when tbe lord mayor had only to speak the word to provide a victim for the gentlemanly executioner. In theory, King George himself cannot legally enter the city of London without the permission of the lord mayor, and the same prohibition applies to all the soldiers of the British Empire. Theoretically, the lord mayor of London is about the most powerful despot to be found in any civilized land. Actually, he has less power for good or evil than the mayor of an average Canadian city.

The function should be well attended as the object to which the funds will be devoted is one thai appeals to every one. In me proper carrying on of tbe work of a hospital il would be difficult to find any method of doing the department done by the ladies' auxiliaries in anything like satisfactory way other than by the women. Sometimes the Indies' methods of financing are laughed at. That is easy to do, but when it comes to dealing with such work as that done by the auxiliaries to hospitals it must he acknowledged that men have much to learn from the women. They are pre-eminent in that, field and should not he interfered with. There may be some energy lost In the undertaking but the results are always successful. All honor therefore must be paid to the sacrificing work that the ladies' auxiliaries to various hospitals have done and it is safe to say that Prince Rupert's organization will not be one whit behind the others. THE SEWER SVSTEM The city council is now grappling with the subject of sewers and the policy to be pursued will probably be settled very soon. The views of the public should therefore be made known to the council in order that the subject may not be disposed of without sufficient interest being aroused. The sewer installation in Prince Rupert should not be excessively high. If a definite policy is decided upon the sewer lines can be put in place as the work of street grading progresses In most of cases. This will avoid a large expense being charged up to the sewerage system in many instances as It wil avoid cuts and fills. There will be expense added of course where rock cuts have to be made for the sewer at points where the street level is gained by a rock cut. Taken all round the sewering of the city will not likely be much costlier than it is in other cities on the coast. In most of places the sewerage is put in on funds paid out of the general taxation with sewer rentals fixed to make (he sewers practically pay for themselves. In Prince Rupert a different proposition is faced in view of the fact that so many lots are likely to be held some little time for speculative purposes and will not be using the sewer.

The question is one which has to be decided and the fullest information on tiie subject should be sought by the council before acting. ei i NATIONAL APPLE SHOW Reduced Rates Have Been Promised For Exhibition at Vancouver With the success of the first Canadian National Apple Show in \ n- couver from an exhibition standpoint now assured there Is every Indication of a large attendance of visitors from the entire province and even throughout Hie Dominion. The engagement of the 48th Highlanders military band, a leading hand of Canada and one of ihe world's best musical organizations, has added very much to tin- attractions of the big show. The management believes that every obstacle to the success of the big undertaking lias now been removed by the Canadian Pacific Railway Company granting a one-way first class fare tor the round trip from all points in the Dominion of Canada, and In addition to that have granted selling dales in advance of the regular selling dates to the public, for the benefit of the exhibitors, thus giving to all exhibitors the same privileges as granted to the public. Exhibitors' tickets will be sold on the certificate plan. ON PLEASURE TOUR (Continued from Page One) inspected. The officials left last night delighted with the prospects here. Referring to ihe progress of work on the western part of the line, Mr. Fitzliugh stated that his company were anxious, as anxious as anyone, to see the track completed at the earliest moment. Lack of labor, lie assured his interviewer was the only cause of delay. The company want- ad to see the task completed just as lulckly as it could be done, bu! with thi obstacles in the way of labor ruling them, the public would have to be patient. The public sometimes for- -)t what an undertaking this was, he added. They were building the first really transcontinental line without coupling up any old sections. When it was contemplated what that meant one realized the immense character of the work in hand. -o- FINANCES OF CITY Statement Brought Down By the Treasurer for Information of the Council.

Eighth—Separation of church and state. Ninth—The strengthening of the credit and finance of the country. On account of reports that some iroops in the provinces have not yet dec'ared their allegiance to the republic the provisional government Is exercising great vigilance. Thirty-nine heavy guns and ten maxims have been posted in the trenches on the heights of the city and are ready to check any attempted invasion of Lisbon. Up to the present, however, the government has received no advices of risings. Tiie encamped forces of the provisional government have detailed 200 soldiers and armed civilians to report for duty in guarding public and other belongings, especially the hanks of the city. All carriages passing through the streets are closely inspected. The wearing of or carrying of small republican flags of green and red is considered the open sesame to safe conduct. The New President The most interesting man in Portugal is the new president Senior Theo- phile Braga, who may be said, without exaggeration to be the father, not only of this revolution, but of that In Brazil, having, by his standing as a professor in history and philosophy, prepared the ground for both movements. His unassuming manners may be inferred from the fact that after having been elected first president of Portugal, he returned, as usual, in a second-class compartment of the train to his unpretentious little home. President Braga has written much on the subject of sociology and political economy, and has published several volumes of poetry. He has great ability as an orator. His political career has been comparatively brief, but he has preached republicanism for thirty-five years. He attracted much attention in the slimmer of 190S, when be accused the monarchist party of having assassinated King Carlos. In a subsequent debate in the Cor- ten, he attacked the government's financial po'icy so bitterly that a duel with the finance minister, Senhor D'Esprequeci, was narrowly averted. Uf a democratic temperament, and habits, he is popular with the masses. Other Officers The officers of the new provincial government of Portugal have represented for years the republican movement and have assumed the responsibility for the overthrow of the monarchy. Of the eight men, the most widely known outside of Portugal are distinguished scholars and teachers. These are President Theophile Braga, professor of Portuguese literature at the Literary college at Lisbon; the foreign minister, Senhor Barnardo Machado, of the Lisbon university, and Dr. Alfonza Costa, of the University of Coimbra, the minister of justice. The Foreign Minister, Senhor Machado, has for years been described as the flrst president of the predicted republic and it. Is considered he will he chosen to the office. Of all the republican leaders he Is perhaps the stronegst and bis influence Is great, lie, too, Is a brilliant speaker. In January, 1908, he was accus- sed of conspiracy against the crown, but the accusations were never proven. In 1908 as speaker for the republican party he denied any connection whateevr with the assassinations of that year, but said that the general horror felt over the assassinations Would die out and that the discontent with the monarchy would re- :turn. ■"'•■ mHi"" s:inl """ wl,il" ""' The minister of justice, Dr Costa is perhaps the most brilliant member of the new government. He has openly worked for the overthrow of the monarchy. A year ago be was turned out of the Cortes for an attack on the extravagance of the rfyal family. After the August elections he declared that the monarchy was (loomed and boldly advised King .Manuel to abdicate.

King Manuo''s por- trait from pu' lie exhibition In fact, not a vestige is now seen of the picture postcards of the king or of any other member of the royal family. These have given way to pictures of members of the new government and the photographic records of the revolution, in the shape of groups of armed leaders and companies of insurgent troops, not in action, but posing for the camera. The damage done to the city by the bombarding was surprisingly small. On the journey down to Lisbon from the frontier, one hears at each stopping place blood-curdling recitals of thousands of persons having been killed and whole quarters of the city having been devastated or wiped out. The total number killed has not been ascertained, but it probably does not exceed three hundred. Recent events that startled the world are discussed with calm by all classes. The general feeling evidently Is one of relief that a crisis long anticipated was surmounted so speedily with comparatively little violence and such a brief dislocation of the national life. Admiral Rels Is described as young, versatile and competent. As commander of the fleet he Is compared to Lord Beresford when the latter was a young man. Premier Machado has Issued a statement emphasizing the necessity of maintaining the British alliance. Friendly to Britain President Braga in an Interview with the British minister assured him that the republic would continue the friendly relation with Great Britain. In a conference of German, Spanish, Italian and British ambassadors, it was agreed to confide in Great Britain the protection of Europeans in Portugal. King Manuel has cabled to London that he Is in good health. He does not mention the revolution. It Is expected that he will remain at Gibraltar and watch the course of events.

CAMOSUN COMING Tbe Camosun, after a delay of two weeks, will make her usual run, to tills port this evening. The staterooms of the steamer have been remodelled, the berths now being much larger than the former ones, and with the commodious staterooms which characterize the steamer, she will now be even more poular than ever. The Camosun made a very good record for herself last winter and It is expected that this winter she will be able to take care of a large part of the trade between Vancouver and this port. As the Prince Rupert brought very little mall, a large one Is expected on the Camosun this evening. She will make her usual run to Stewart at 3.00 a.m. Saturday. COTTAGE CITV CALLED The Cottage City arrived In port lost evening from the soutii with a full cargo of perishables and provisions for this port. She also brought a fairly large mall, including some from Vancouver and Victoria. MADE INTO OIL BURNER The steamer Princess May, of the C. P. R., which is undergoing repairs at the B. C. Marine Railway company's yards at Esquimau, when she re-enters service on the Victoria- Skagway run about three months hence, will be equipped as an oil- burning steamer. A trial is to be made with the steamer Princess May and if success is achieved, as is expected, the greater number of the steamers of the British Columbia service of tiie C. P. H. company, and also the Empress steamers in the trans-Pacific trade, will be equipped as oil-burners. It is not improbable, too, that the locomotives of the Pacific division of the railroad may be converted to burn oil. The steamer Princess May will be the first steamer to be converted, advantage being taken of her repairs at Esquimau to make the necessary changes to convert her from a coal burner to an oil-burner, and it is expected that work on the steamers Princess Victoria and Princess Charlotte will follow, both steamers being probably converted into oil-burners before the spring. For about two years the C. P. R. has been considering the change. For some time past the company has bad an offer from the Standard Oil company to suply oil at a fixed price covering a long term of years. The matter has been thoroughly considered, and many exhaustive reports have been investigated, comparing tbe use of oil and coal on many vessels. Investigation has also been made on board the steamers Iroquois and Chippewa, of the Puget Sound Navigation company, which burn oil fuel, and the decision has now been reached to convert the steamer Princess May to an oil burner as the test vessel. The oil fuel has long past the experimental stage, and large ocean liners and warships have been burning this liquid fuel for some years. The big Japanese turbine liners Chlyo Maru and Tenyo Maru of the Toyo Klsen Kalsha's line to San Francisco, are notable examples of large liners using oil fuel In the Pacific. Plans have consequently been secured for the conversion of the fast Princess liners, the Princess Victoria and Princess Charlotte, and as soon as the new steamer Princess Adelaide arrives from the Clyde, probably about the end of November, an opportunity will be found to lay oft the three-funnel liners in their turn for the change. The supply of oil is to be kept at Vancouver and Seattle, where large tanks for storage of sufficient oil for the company's steamers will be maintained. Aill of the company's steamers call at Seattle or Vancouver, and they will take on their supply of oil at one or other of these ports. The officials of the company have been obtaining data for the last two years regarding the use of fuel oil. Since the proposition was received about two years ago from the oil company for the supply of liquid fuel the question has been exhaustively considered and decision lias now been considered and decision has now been reached to make a series of final experiments with the steamer Princess May. The use of fuel oil by the coast steamers will reduce the fireroom staff on each vessel by two-thirds, the stokers being eliminated. The cost of the oil itself is practically as great as coal, but the saving of labor of weight carried, space and in handling, is great. Owners of steamers now burning oil state that the saving is from 40 to 60 per cent. S1L\ ERWARE FOR RAINBOW "Presented by the province of British Columbia to H. M. C. S. Rainbow in welcome recognition of this being the first vessel of the Canadian navy to be stationed on the Pacific coast of the Dominion, and with the loyal hope and belief that the Rainbow and her successors may fulfil their part in uniting the strengthening the naval defences of the Empire." The above is the inscription which is to appear on the piece of plate which is to be presented by the government of British Columbia to H. M. C. S. Rainbow on her arrival here early ln November. Hon. J. H. Turner, agent-general for British Columbia, has advised the premier that a beautiful design for the, plate has been completed by the London Goldsmiths & Silversmiths' Co., Limited, the principal workers ln such forms of art at the world's metropolis, with whom an or.der has been placed. The design has been submitted to and heartily approved by Admiral Kingsmill, and provides for a very handsome vase centrepiece, the handles formed respectively of the wapiti and the big horn sheep of British Columbia, emblems of a nutical character being at the base. caught a message from the steamer Empress of India, who stated her position at about 150 miles westward, announcing a ninety-mile gale. Suddenly the apparatus was put out of service. Almost simultaneously with the disappearance of the staysail the wireless masts and apparatus were carried away. While the decks were awash for hours, no serious damage was done, and the wireless was repaired shortly after the vessel entered the strait.

At a recent meeting of the council there Superintendent Hammond of the electric lighting system made a kick about people who get lights on a flat rate and use the juice through the day for electric irons, toasters, coffee percolators, electric massage, electropathic treatments and other purposes too numerous to mention. The council cut the flat rate off absolutely. As soon as they can be installed all juice from the power plant will be measured out by meter. In this connection Supt. Hammond suggested that he might need police protection to put the meters Int he Chinese houses and stores as the Celestials are very superstitious and are afraid of the "devil boxes." SENATOR IN GALE The steamer Senator, which Is expected shortly to take the place of the Cottage City on the Skagway run for a litte time while the Cottage City is being overhauled, had a trying experience on her last run from Nome. Struggling in the teeth of a hundred-mile gale, the steamer was at the mercy of the wind and a sea which broke over her upper deck for hours, 350 miles out from Flattery. A staysail was put up to ease the kicking about, and following the rapid fall of the barometer all hands were ordered Inside, the staysail and oil bags put into place, and the vessel hove to. Suddenly the staysail was loosened and clutched by the high wind, was blown away and disappeared Into the inky black sea.

It was explained by Capt. Eddie that a commencement could be made at once, as Mr. Franklin had generously placed that hall at his service. They could consider the hall a brig until a real one arrived in Burrard Inlet, and a number of lads were ready to enroll themselves. This was to be a voluntary training; it was not necessary that the boys should be regarded as refractory. He would teach and carry on their training on Navy League training ship lines. A committee could get to work and procure a proper training ship so that Vancouver could supply the boys to become men fit for the mercantile and naval marine. On the motion of Captain Archer, Captain Eddie was elected commandant. He will take up his class at once. A strong committee was chosen, including the chairman, Messrs. R. O.

TOE PRINCE RUPERT JOURNAL SIR CHARLES TUPPER Virile Old Party Leader Gives Advice Regarding Canada's Policy. At Ninety Years of Age He Has Decided to Remain Permanently in England After the stress -if nearly half a century on tbe political life of Canada, Sir Charles Tupper, one of the fathers of Confederation and former prime minister, is living a secluded life in rural England. "It is a case of 'ex necessitate' " he said, when asked why he lived in England. "The health of Lady Tupper, while It has Improved, will not permit her to take an ocean voyage, I should certainly prefer to live In Canada." * Speaking to Sir Charles ltl s difficult to believe that Canada's aged statesman Is in his 90th year; the fact that at this advanced age he still plays golf evidences his wonderful vitality. The passing of the last ten years has made little impression on the renowned son of Nova Scotia; that familiar stoop is not more pronounced than when last seen in the House of Commons. In an interview at his residence "The Mount," Bexley Health, ent, Sir Charles speaking ot the wonderful development of the Dominion, said: "I have witnessed the immense progress of Canada with intense satisfaction. Forty years ago I was regarded as a very sanguine man when I prophesied the future of Canada; but its development has passed my most sanguine expectations, and occupying as it does the best portion of the North American continent, it is obvious that at no very distant date it will hold a most commanding posi- ion in the world." "Do you think that Canada as it develops in importance w ,1 want to take a large part In tbe government of the British Empire?" he was asked. „ "Tbe present generation" he replied, "will, in my opinion, see the population of Canad surpass that of the United Kingdom, but I see no reason to suppose that Canada and the other Dominions, however great and important they may become, will Hot be proud to enjoy the position of sister nations. Of course all the Importance that attaches to any portion of the Empire will be greatly enhanced by the future greatness of Canada, and the Empire by the development of its outlying parts will command still greater Influence In International affairs than it wields at present." On the much discussed question of annexation to the United States Sir Charles was quite emphatic. "The question of annexation was settled in the contest of 1891, and in my judgment settled for ever," he said. Asked what position he thought Canada would take in the event of a European war, Sir Charles declined to give an opinion. When it was sugegsted that a defensive alliance between the United States and reat Britain would be a happy solution and would dispel any fear of England being overwhelmed In an European conflict he was warmly sympathetic. "If Great Britain and the United States would stand together," he said, "no combination of powers could affect their position. They could keep the peace of the world. I do not mean that they could prevent the antagonisms of European countries among themselves,">but they could main tain the supremacy of the Anglo-Saxon race." Sir Charles Is an ardent believer In the benefits of protection. "Canada owes all of Its present greatness to the protective policy am* that policy will be maintained. Protection In Canada will not be abandonee! u \ your time," he said. Discussing tbe question of Imperial preference, Sir Charles said:— "I look upon a mutual preferential tariff between the Dominion and the other portions of the British Empire as a policy that will be atlended by the happiest results by creating a strong bond of mutual self-interest to add to the sentimental loyalty that now exists in all parts of the Empire." Sir Charles recreations are driving and golfing. Frequently he Is to be seen on the links which adjoin his house. "1 am very fond or golf," he Informed the reporter, "but my medical adviser restricts my participation in the game to 'putting.' $t is n consolation, howevM', to know tiial all championships are decided on the 'putting' green," he added jovially. Sir Charles' son J. Stewart Tupper, K.C., of Winnipeg, and his wife and family are at present visitors at "The Mount." Mr. Tupper Is In England pleading cases before the pudi- cial committee of the privy council. Sir Charles Hlbbert Tupper of Vancouver, and William Tupper of Winnipeg, are expected shortly. "It has been a source of unbounded satisfaction to me," said Sir Charles, in conclusion, "that all the great measures ln which I was per- mlted to take part have been BOlved practically in the direction of my exertions; the Confederation of Canada, the binding together by steel bonds of the provinces from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and the opening up of that great granary between the Red river and the Rocky mountains, which under a policy of protection Canada was able to achieve, enable me to look back with great satisfaction on the consummation of the great questions with which in my public life I was occupied. "You ask me to give you a message to Canada. It Is this: 'Go on and prosper.' No country In the world, In my judgment, is prospering to such a great extent as Canada, or on so sure a foundation, and It would pass the most prophetic vision to say what position she will obtain in the not distant future." o SPORTS BALL CATCHING CHALLENGE William Sullivan, catcher of the Chicago White Sox, will not attempt to catch a ball thrown from an aeroplane at a height of 1,000 feet. Sullivan declined the offer of Aviator Williard to take up a dozen balls and drop them one at a time until Sullivan held one. Sullivan says that the Washington monument is high enough in the air to catch a bali from "Too much is euough," said Sullivan. "A man might as well try to stop a cannon ball or 9-ounce bullets as a ball dropped 1,000 feet." Sullivan recently gained notoriety by duplicating Charley Street's feat of last year in catching several balls dropped from the Washington monument. The monument is only half as high as Willard proposed to soar. MAY NEVER FIGHT AGAIN Ad Wolgast, the lightweight champion, may never fight again. An examination of the champion's left arm, which was broken in his fight with McFarland at Fond du Lac recently, was made yesterday. The arm was broken just below the elbow, and the attending physician said Wolgast would not be albe to fight again for four months, and perhaps never be able to use the arm in hard fights again. GOING ON STAGE Tommy Burns has decided to take a little flier into the show business. His injured knee feels so good now that he has accepted an offer to meet a lad named Mayer over in Ellens- burg in a couple of weeks In an exhibition bout and then he plans to go to Calgary and put on a little boxing show as an adjunct to some fight pictures he will flash on the screen. Tommy has the films of the fights he had with Jack Johnson, Gunner Moir, Bill Squiers and Jack O'Brien, and he plans to show about two rounds of each "t;rap and fill out the programme with a boxing bout with his younger brother. The Calgary sports are anxious to see Tom, for ■he is a Canadian, well known all over the Dominion for his work as a lacrosse player, and an old pal of his now living in Calgary says he will surely pull a $3,000 house there.

Bob." was elected president of the Northwestern Baseball League at the annual meeting in Seattle. The defeat of former President to. H. Lucas was due to the opposition of the different cities briefly outlined already. Tacoma, represented by President Eddie Quinn, went down tiie line fighting for the retention of Mr. Lucas. Second in importance lo the defeat of Mr. I,mas, who has held the office of president, secretary and treasurer since the presenl league wns organized in 1907, nnd the same offices in oilier leagues in the Pacific Northwest for leu years or more was he i" Ignation of Eddie Quinn of Tacoma, as a director of. the league. ln his place George Shredder, who 1 r.s been suspected of owning the Tacoma club, was elected. Mr. luinn stated he had sold his holdings In the Tacoma club to Mr. Shreeder. The general impression is that Mike Lynch will handle the Tigers next season. The circuit question was taken up only In a casual way, Eddie Householder was present as a representative pro tern for Victoria. He was authorized to say that Victoria would go ahead any time official assurance was given of award of a franchise. Mr. Householder was further backed in his statement by a letter which was received during the proceedings of the meeting in the evening from Manager Wattelet of Victoria. In the future teams will be limited to fifteen players after June 1. The salary limit will remain open. The rule which prevented a player from signing with another club in the Northwestern League after he had been released without the consent of the releasing club was killed. The playing season in the future will not extend beyond October 1, and as a usual thing, will end September 25. Bob Brown won his fight to have July 2 taken off the holiday list ln the future. Each city had its candidate for 'out of the league. Spokane wanted George Brown, a well known attorney. Vancouver favored William D. Hayward, Tacoma stood pat for Lucas. The discussion lasted for over three hours and a deadlock was inevitable when the name of Judge Robert Lindsay was suggested and he was finally elected. Considerable business of importance was held over for this afternoon. TRADE IN EMPIRE Canada's Relations With Great Britain in Commercial Way. Aspect of the Situation From the Standpoint of Relation With Motherland Canada's trade relations, past and present with the United States, are attracting a great deal of attention In the press of London. A well informed contributor to the discussion writes in the National Review as follows: Two years ago reciprocity with the United States, with Its infinite possibilities, was the idea in the air, and if it should be taken up by. some crowd-compelling personality, some master of straightforward thinking and straight talking on either side of the international boundary, the Americanization of Canada's fiscal policy is inevitable. Fortunately for us there Is no such personality ln sight either on the American or the Canadian horizon. There is yet time, if the advocates of imperial preference here and in Canada will use the passing hour aright. The heat of the first enthusiasm is not lost but latent: and a flood of light has been shed by the discussions of the last seven or eight years in the question of the effect of a treaty of mutual preference between anada and the mother country. The people of the west now understand that Great Britain is Canada's chief customer, and that this custom must be kept and safeguarded against the rivalry of foreign competitors (of whom Argentina Is the most dangerous) if the development of her west Is to proceed without In- j terruptlon. When western Canada produces 250,000,000 bushels of wheat an-! nually, the whole of the exportable surplus cannot be marketed if Canada has not gained control of the ■ all-red route into the Briton's stomach. Thoughtful men of hoth historic parties iin the dominion have grasped this necessity of the near future, and would be willing to make liberal trade concessions in order to secure the Canadian grain-growers' position In the British market. Tite price they will pay is nothing less than this—to turn each and every reduction in the tariff lo the sole advantage of Great Britain, whence Canada can obtain all tiie •roods she cannot profitably manufacture herself.

If Cobden were alive today he would take the business man's opin ion of the situation, and decide that freedom of trade within the empire is a necessary condition of the ultimate realization of his larger ideal. He was a keen and sympathetic student of American affairs, and the success of the union as a business undertaking would not have escaped his notice, nor would he have ignored the eGrman object lesson. If it is profitable for California and Massachusetts to give one another a preference over foreign countries (despite the costs of transportation, which are equivalent to the effects of moderate tariffs), it must be profitable for Lancashire and Quebec to enter into a similar arrangement.

PRESENTED MEDAL Mrs. Rudge is the Recipient of the Royal Humane Society's Prize Donation is Made on Board Prince Rupert by William .Manson, M.P.P. of the most dangerous rivers in the province. .Many lives had been lost in il and a great many heroic efforts had been made to save lives in It. He knew of no other occasion where a woman had taken her life in her hands and saved life in the river. Capt. Barney Johnson, skipper of the'Prince Rupert, in replying to the thanks bestowed upon him for the use of the vessel, said he was glad to do It. British Columbia, he added, should be proud to have such a daughter as Mrs. Rudge. A great many of those present, which included all from Port Essington who were in the city, Judge Young, Mayor Stork and wife, J. H. McMullin, government agent, and wife, and many others took occasion to examine the medal before leaving the vessel. o THANKSGIVING DAY RANQCET Ladies Aid of Methodist Church Preparing for Enjoyable Event Arrangements are being completed for a most enjoyable time for the old-timers and new-timers at the third annual banquet to be held on the evening of Thanksgiving day in the Methodist church. The preparations for the banquet are in the hands of the Ladies' Aid Society, a sufficient guarantee for the highest expectations, while the music and toast list to follow will ensure an opportunity for tbe expression of inter-church fellowship, the fitting remembrance of our national blessings, and the strengthening of the social bonds of the people of this new city. Those who in former years were here to enjoy these functions heretofore held will look forward to the coming banquet with pleasure and assure the new-comers of a good time ahead. o COMMISSIONERS TO MEET Local News Last evening in the observation room of the G. T. P. steamer Prince Rupert a very interesting presentation took place. The occasion was the honoring of Mrs. Fred Rudge, of Port Essington, by the Royal Humane Society for saving life. The medal of the society was presented to .Mrs. Rudge through to. Manson, ....P.P. The presentation was in no wire formal, advantage having been taken of the departure of Mrs. Rudge for the soutii to informally award one of the highest honors that can be won by anyone, the right to wear the medal of the Royal Humane Society. The facts connected with the life saving which resulted in Mr. Rudge being presented with the medal are well known here. Her act was one of the greatest bravery as she readily took her own life in her hand to rescue a small boy which she successfully accomplished. The act of pinning the prized reward for bravery—the Victoria Cross of non-combatants—was performed by Grade Manson, the little daughter of tiie member for the district. Mrs. Rudge was the recipient of hearty congratulations later in the evening in receiving the recognition of the old society whose rewards are distributed very sparingly and only In Instances of real merit. The prize bears a close similarity to the Victoria Cross so early sought after by the members of the fighting forces of |Some X(,,v hi,,.u.^ x the Empire. The Royal Humane Society's medal however is given for life saving not under the excitement of the field of battle, but in everyday walks of life. Mrs. Rudge's act was one that was well worthy of the society's recognition. In making the presentation \V. Manson, M.P.P., said he had great pleasure in taking part on such an occasion. He recalled the fact that the Royal Humane Society dated back one hundred and thirty-six years, having been organized In 1774 it had accomplished much in assisting in life saving, having had disseminated a vast amount of information that had been of great advantage in life saving. The society had also distributed many medals which were, ,,,-,,,,,-i,.,,,, ,,„„-,.„.,. ir, ,„,,„,.„„,, it i;, prized very highly not for their in-|announfiedi t0 fit it up to acoommo. tunsic value, but for what was rep- date a„ rIasses of (rade ,f the com. : resented by it. jmlssloners will but grant the license. it was indeed a pleasure to know The s|tuation is welI adapte(, to „„ a that one in their midst had carried ,arge demand being close to what the distinction of being permitted to wear this medal. Her act in plunging into the Skeena whose waters were full of ice at the time in order to save life had excited the admiration of all. II was gratifying, therefore to know that the Royal Humane Society had recognized her bravery. He outlined the circumstances connected with the event which the so- cii ty had thus recognized. e Expected to be Granted Tomorrow The license commissioners will sit on Saturday and if Aid. Smith is back to the city by that time it is expected that some license applications laid over from the last sitting will come up for consideration. So far the licenses have been confined to the heart of the city quite well. A strong agitation is being made to have a few located more in the outskirts of the business section. One that is being strongly pressed forward is that standing in the name of M. Albert, on First avenue near the new government wharf. The premises are at present occupied as a rooming quarter for men. The will be an important shipping section very shortly. The Salvation Army's services on Sunday will be held In the Majestic theatre. This will be the meeting place for me winter months. —o— William White and John Collins, charged before the police magistrate with having allowed the playing of a game of chance in their premises, were fined $50 each a few days ago. The practice of obstructing the roadways in the city is to be stopped. to. Drown, on a charge of leaving a load of lumber on the streel, was taken into court and fined $10 and costs a few days ago. —o— * Miss Ella May Peacock, daughter of Mr. Richard Peacock of this city, was united in wedlock to Mr. George William Phillpott of the Grand Trunk staff, on the evening of Thursday last October 6. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Chas. R. Sing, B.D., at the residence of the bride's father on Eighth avenue, their immediate friends being present to witness the happy event. Mr. Phillpott is receiving the hearty congratulations ot liis many friends in the city. The firm of Director, Cohen & Co., who were formerly localed in the Royal block, have moved to temporary quarters in F. to. Hart's building. I'be space formerly occupied by them is now being remodelled into a sitting room and office for the Royal Hotel. The Royal is at present one of the leading hotels of the city and it is expected that this change will make I be hotel much more comfortable and will be a decided advantage in making is very popular with the travelling public. —o— The Clinton rooms, formerly under the name of the Fraser House at the corner of Fraser and Eighth streets, have been remodelled and overhauled and will be open for boarders and lodgers under new management next Sunday, Oct. 16. Mrs. Anderson, who has taken over these rooms, has spared no expense in endeavoring to make this house one of the best in the city for boarders and roomers. Home cooking is to be a specialty in connection with this house, and Mrs. Anderson promises a very comfortable house for her boarders. At the meeting of the city council last evening there was a recommendation from the electric light committee that the tender of the Canadian General Electric company, for the supply of the necessary equipment for the new lighting system in the city should be accepted. The sum involved was given as $6,980. Aid. Mobley in speaking to the report said that while the committee had been authorized to make the purchases the members did not feel like taking the responsibility without referring it to the council. The report was adopted and the order will be placed. Personals TO CURE BLACK COD Sol Cameron has gone to Stewart to look after his interests there. * * * Alex Faulds, M.E., has gone to the I).

TO START GRADING ON THIRD AVENUE (Continued from Page One) parts referred to, while there were other parts where there were lots many times more valuable left unimproved. They pledged the credit of the city to the extent of $250 on a $300 lot. The property .owners on Sixth avenue and other parts where high assessments prevailed, had a right to be given a chance to improve their properties by avoiding the pledging of the credit of the city to improve small valued lots. These other parts had a strong moral right to this. Aid. Pattullo held that the moral right referred to did not apply. If the work were carried out by money raised on general revenue all sections could not be improved and the argument of a moral right would again come up. Aid. Hilditch pointed out there was a vast difference. The owners would have a say In the matter as to where the money was to be spent under the general assessment plan. Aid. Mclntyre, while he agreed that Aid. Hilditch was correct in some respects, yet he felt that this system now decided upon was the best one to follow. Later the business part would be called upon to help to put the outlying parts in shape. Aid. Lynch pointed out that under a general assessment the p'ace where the money was to be spent would have to be designated. It would be found that each section that was not to get the improvements would have put up opposition to it. Unless a loan had been floated that would have been too large not to affect the sale of the bonds, it would have, been impossible to get a by'aw passed. Belligerent Colleagues Aid. Barrow thought that having settled the method of doing the work he saw no difficulty in proceeding with the work along that line. While he had the greatest respect for his two colleagues on the streets committee the difficulty was that Aid. Lynch was the apostle of the frontage tax, while Aid. Hilditch was the high priest of work being done on a general assessment. This created difficulties and like King Charles head in one of Dickens' works, this was always cropping' up at unsuitable times. Aid. Hilditch wished to know if this motion would include leaving this contract below the junction to still go on. Aid. Pattullo suggested they might still leave that open for Aid. Hilditch. Aid. Hilditch said he would continue to argue against it until It were switched. The motion to call for tenders was carried.

The choice was made at N'ew Westminster at a m .'et i, of the executive of the association. For some months It has been current talk in party circles that Xelson would be tite scene of the annual meeting, but not till this afternoon was the matter definitely settled. Tiie convention will be held in the interior city on November 17 and 18 Between 150 nnd 200 delegates will probably be present al the meeting. They will represent all the elecloral districts of British Columbia. ing against changing the plan yet he felt the city had started out on the system he supported. He felt that a rental could be charged that would make the sewer pay for itself. He saw no reason against making owners of unoccupied land pay a part of the cost. Not Yet Decided Aid. Pattullo felt that the government had not considered the question of how the money was to be raised to pay back the cost of sewers. He did not think that that argument should have any force. He did not feel like expressing himself on either aspect of the case. Aid. Hilditch believed that he and Aid. Lynch would more closely agree on the sewer question than on the grading. His idea had been that the sewer should be paid for out of general fund while the cost of malnten-1 ance should be met by rentals from Ihe users. He believed that the rentals to be charged would be cheaper' than the paying for scavenging. Aid. Barrow felt that when the lots were bought the sewers were not i In for the most part. The price of the lots were the same as if the j sewers were not there in cases where they were laid. He felt that while the whole public paid Its proportion of th sewer and the user the cost. of maintenance under Aid. Hilditch's proposal the land abutitng on the sewer which was appreciated ln value but which was not using the sewer was not made to pay Its proper pro- j portion. Aid. Pattullo suggested that the sewer did not benefit the whole city the same as streets did. It benefitted the users to a very great extent alone. His mind was open on the subject however. His worship suggested that perhaps the best system would be to divide the city Into sewer dltsrlcts to Between: John Jacobs, Frank Johnson, and Charles Carlson, carrying on business as Contractors under the firm name or style of Hawkins & Co., Plaintiffs.
