WATER PIPE LINES City Engineer Will Soon Report On a Distribution System For Place Wooden Product, it is Announced, Does Not Find Much Favor With Col. Davis STARTING BUILDING WATER ON NINTH It will not be long before the city engineer will have a comprehensive report ready on the subject of a water distribution system in the city foreshadowing the introduction next summer of the permanent system of supply for here. This was announced by His Worship at a meeting of the council and it was further stated that wooden pipes will not likely have any place In the system. The city will therefore go back to the reliable steel pipes generally used in the larger cities and which will have to be Imported from the Old Land. Another announcement was made that the city is in a very fair way to cope with Are in the business centre. This information was given at a meeting of the council on Wednesday night. The subject was brought up by Aid. Mclntyre, who wanted to know what the city council intended to do with respect to a water pipe from Sixth street along Second avenue. If there was any Intention of putting in any additional water pipe it would be wise to do it while the sewer pipe was being laid and before the cut was filled. Aid. Mobley explained that the two Inch pipe would not be all that would be available in the congested area. There was a larger pipe on Third avenue that could be got and he found that by laying hose lines three or four good streams could be brought to play on any part of the congested district. His Worship said that the city engineer was at work on the question of water pipes. He believed that he was aiming at getting it laid as the work of grading was in progress. The engineer had not a very high opinion of wooden pipe for water and his report, he believed, would be against employing that kind of water main. The report was not yet ready but he felt sure It would be along that line. o HACK FROM HAZELTON G. G, S. Lindsay is Quite Favorably Impressed Witli Skeena uistrict G. G. S. Lindsay, K.C., of Toronto, after a trip up the Skeena River, left last night for the soutii on his way home. He looked Into some of the milling properties In that part of the country, but being a prospective purchaser he naturally was somewhat reluctant about placing an estimate upon the values of the mines. He was struck with the general mineralization in the district. From an agricultural standpoint also he was impressed with the imemnse growth of wheat and oats. He saw fields near Hazelton ripe and ready for cutting where the spring wheat was five feet ln height and the oats little short of that. This was quite a surprise to Mr. Lindsay, who goes back east quite impressed with the northern part of British Columbia on this, bis first trip to It. o WEDDED IN CITY Mr. W. H. Derry and Miss Collins of England .Joined in Marriage Tuesday evening, September 27, 1910, was the occasion of an Interesting ceremony when Mr. William Henry Derry, late of His Majesty's service of the ship Algeria, and now Dominion constable in the Indian department, was united ln marriage with Miss Elizabeth Mary Collins, of Wadhurst Sussex, England. The ceremony was performed at the MethodlBt parsonage, Sixth avenue, by the Rev. Chas. R. Sing, B.D. Mr. Frank Derry, brother of the groom, and Mrs. Frank Derry, late of England, acted ln the capacity of witnesses to the happy event. Mr. and Mrs. Derry take up their residence ln the city of Prince Rupert. The best of good wishes are extended to them for a prosperous and happy married life. The groom Is well known here, while Mrs. Derry will he welcomed by the wide circle of friends made by her husband. Next week the Canadian Fish & Cold Storage Company will begin active work of construction upon the half million dollar building that is to be put up by the company near Seal Cove. The delay now is in consequence of the steel not having arrived. This is expected at any time by the manager, G. I-I. Collins, and as soon as it arrives the sand and gravel will be got in place • and the work commenced on the reinforced walls of the building. With that work commenced there will be quite an addition to the staff employed there and tbe construction will be prosecuted steadily until completed. A quantity of lumber was shipped this week from the Westholme Lumber Company's yards to Masset. It will be used in the construction of the home for Thomas Deasy, the Indian Agent there. —o— The finance committee of the city council has had referred to it a recommendation that some of the bylaws be printed in pamphlet form with some advertisements on the covers. Subject of a Supply For That Avenue Is Introduced At Council Meeting •higineer is Opposed to rutting in More Stand Pipes—To Investigate Needs READY FOR TENDERS City Council Prepared to Do the Grading of all Section One. Will Delay Calling for Tenders Until Sett lenient of Financial .Matters NEW ADDITION FINANCES OF CITY Town of Ellison is Bring Extended by Subdivision Adjoining Area MUST STAND TRIAL Alphonse Ricker Taken South Last Night to Await the He Was Committed by Magistrate on Evidence of Those Who Had to do With Case Alphonse Richer, who stands charged with the murder of his fellow countryman a week ago was taken to Vancouver last evening to await his trial at the next assies, which open there early in October. The prisoner was taken south In the charge of L. Crippen who was sworn in a special officer for the occasion. The accused was brought before Police Magistrate Carss on Wednesday morning for the preliminary hearing. The evidence put in was practically the same as that at the coroner's inquest. It went to show that there had been some dispute relative to a small amount of money. Richer had picked up the gun and it had gone off, although he had stated that he did not intend to shoot his companion, Beaudoin. He had then come into the city and given the information and done what he could to assist in bringing the victim to. On the evidence the magistrate had no difficulty in coming to a conclusion to commit him for trial. Richer had no statement to make in the case. The funeral of Joseph Beaudoin took place on Wednesday morning from Hart's undertaking parlors. The services were conducted by the officers of the Salvation army here. The subject of water mains on Ninth avenue came before the city council last evening by His Worship calling attention to the fact that Ninth avenue was without a main. His attention had been called to it and he believed it was about the only part that had no water. If something could be done it would be a great boon. Aid. Mobley said that this had come up twice and the engineer had reported on it. In answer to request, Aid. Mobleyj chairman of the committee, said that it was estimated to cost $2,400 for a two inch main that would be only of the most temporary character. One block above all these residents could get water. The residents were further asked through Mr, Tattersfield if they would instal the water and thus give some revenue to the city. If they would an effort would be made to put it in some shape. The committee felt that it could not well extend the system of mains without a revenue being assured. Aid. Hilditch said that from McBride street west there was no service. There were about 51 houses there and if they could get the water any way, they should get it. They were entitled to consideration. The stand pipes would be useless for winter and the people would have to put in water in the houses. Aid. Mobley said an inch pipe could be put down to the 3treet very cheaply. If the people wanted it very badly they would get it by putting in services in tbe houses. The engineer was epposed to giving any further free water by stand pipe Aid. Hilditch thought the only way to deal with this was to give the people a chance to tap the pipe by putting the water in. Aid. Hilditch said that he himself wantid water. It was going ;o eo° him about ? 140 to run the neces sary pipes to carry it in. These people would be in much the same position. Every part of the city should be given a chance to get water connection if they wanted it. Aid. Pattullo thought in view of the recent rains with the increased water supply the situation might be changed somewhat and might be looked into. The matter was referred to water committee. o RECEPTION TO NEW PASTOR Rev. to. H. McLeod Given Hearty Welcome A very hearty reception was given to Rev. W. H. McLeod, pastor of the First Baptist church, and family last evening. Solos were rendered by Mr. Davey and Mr. Parent, which were enjoyed by all, after which light refreshments were served by the ladies. In an address given by the pastor he emphasized the fact that the Baptist church which has been started here Is the only one of that denomination north of Nanaimo, and that there are wonderful opportunities for doing a great work in this new country. In connection with the church and Sunday school, Mr. McLeod has plans on foot to start a young men's organization similar to those of the larger churches In the south. Already a great many young men have expressed the desire to join and lend a hand in building up an organization such as this. The young men wl'l meet Monday evening for a formal organization and election of officers. Services will be held as usual In the church next Sunday, the pastor preaching morning and evening. the A bulletin board for notices of motion, etc., is to be placed at the entrance to the city hall. To (hose who may at times grow a little impatient at the rate of progress that the city is making, a little reflection upon what has been accomplished in the few months since the city started will tend to alter their opinion on this point. It is only a few weeks since the permanent engineer reached the city and yet today the council is ready for tenders for the grading of the whole of section one, the business portion of the place. Citizens must take into account that the city of Prince Rupert is not a haphazard town. It is not being built for a few years as some of the mining towns of the province have been planned. Prince Rupert Is building for the future and the work done here must be of the most permanent character. There has certainly been no waste of time by those concerned in getting Ihings in shape. A policy relative to doing the work had to be agreed upon, the estimates made and a lot of preliminary arrangements with respect to the financial side of the question dea't with. All this has been practically accomplished and while work on part of the area has already been under way for some little time, the remainder is all to be contracted for within a very few days now. Tenders were to be called for the whole of the work in grading section one and these were to have been received up to October 19. Following that the awards were to have been made as quickly as possible and a start made at points all over the business'sgction. The desire of the council was to have had the work carried out just as quickly as is could be done, so as to allow private owners to expedite work on their properties in the way of putting up permanent buildings. A little check has come in the matter of the finances as referred to in another column, but it Is felt that this will not result in much delay. The situation in the city is such as to preclude the likelihood of any serious difficulty being met with. New Conditions At Wednesday evening's council meeting some changes, on the recommendation of the streets committee, were made in the forms of contract that will be accepted by the city. In accordance with the change the tenderers must put In bids on each section specifically. The minimum pay for those em- Purchasers in Ihe new townsite along the route of the G. T.

LEAVES WITH REGRETS Mr. Stonham, of Bank of 15. N. Became Attached to City After five months spent in Prince Rupert, Mr. Stonham, who opened the local branch of the Bank of B. N. A., left last night by the Prince Rupert to resume his duties as inspector. There was a large party at the wharf to see Mr. Stonham off with wishes for an early return even if only for a brief visit. During his residence here Mr. Stonham became very popular. He became very much impressed witli the city and takes a most hopeful view of its future. So sanguine is he of it that he did not fail to make investments here. In Mr. Long, the new manager, Mr. Stonham says, the city has a decided asquisitlon.

A test was commenced upon them yesterday and at last evening's meeting of the council the mayor was able to report that two of them had already been found in first class condition, standing the test in excellent style. This announcement was received with a good deal of satisfaction by the members of the council and Aid. Mobley's eyes were seen to twinkle with delight as his opinion and that of Aid. Lynch had been taken by the other members of the council as expert In character. A report from the light and telephone committee presented to the council set forth a list of materials all representing but small expenditures that would be required to proceed with the work. Aid. Mobley explained that the boilers had been tested that day. The committee felt It advisable to proceed with the purchase of supplies o Instal the lighting plant at that location. If it could not be got ready in time they would instal one dynamo temporarily at Seal Cove. The engineer had been Instructed to get the work rushed forward as fast as possible. All Intended purchases were to be submitted to the committee. In the matter of poles the committee recommended that the tender of P. Engler should be accepted. His tender was at the rate of 7 ',4 cents for 30 foot poles, S Ms cents for 35 foot, 9% cents for 40 foot, and 10 % cents for 45 foot. It was explained that the lowest tenderer could not supply the poles against the assessment nnd there the W. Davidson, ex-M.P.P. for Slocan, Isituation rested.

PROVINCE'S WEALTH ACCIDENT NEAR STEWART J.S. Willison Gives Reason Why British Columbia Will Become Important Potentialities in Various Lines Such as to Ensure Attention Are British Columbia, as this province appeals to one of the leading editors of eastern Canada, Mr. J. S. Willison, of tho Toronto News, who recently visited this city on his tour of the Pacific coast, is the subject of a recent editorial in that daily, which reads:— "Several years ago Sir Edmund Walker intimated to the shareholders of the Canadian Bank of Commerce that British Columbia was destined to be the richest province of the nine which compose Confederation. The Bishop of British Columbia apparently is of somewhat similar opinion for he told the Anglican Church con- gross at Halifax that after the opening of the Panama Canal the Pacific Coast would become the centre of Canadian life. If this prophecy Is well founded, Ontario has only a few more years in which to enjoy her long primacy. This month's meeting of the Canadian Manufacturers Association in Vancouver may be accepted as indicating that hundreds of men prominent in the commercial and industrial life of the nation go at least some distance with the banker and the cleric in their views regarding the potentialities of the most westerly province. Nor is it difficult to understand why they do. The huge copper and smelting industry in the Boundary country, the almost inexhaustible coal deposits of the Crow's Nest Pass, of Vancouver Island, and the North, the silver mines of the Slocan and recent stampede to Bitter Creek go to show that the Cariboo gold rush of the sixties only touched one pocket of the mineral wealth with which the Rocky Mountains and the coast ranges abound. Lying in the creek bottoms of British Columbia are tens of thousands of dollars in gold. The deposits only require transportation facilities and organized capital ti help pour their riches into the world's lap. Hitherto the lack of railways has confined the working mines largely to the- coast regions and to the southern end of the province penetrated by the Canadian Pacific lines. The construction of the Canadian Northern and Grand Trunk Pacific through the mountains farther to the north will render accessible some deposits already known to the prospector and, doubtless lead to the discovery of many others "Already British Columbians cal1 their province the Orchard of the Empire, and with some justification, for such of its fertile valleys as have been occupied by the seUler are yielding beautiful fruit. The wide uplands and secluded valleys, about to be penetrated by the new railways will afford happy homes for thousands of farmers and fruit growers, and produce great quantities of de? sirable food for the world's table. The timber wealth of the province is remarkable, and its fisheries are so vast, in extent and so varied as to compare favorably with any in the world. Their immense value helps to render important the recent headland decision at The Hague, practically extending the area of coast waters over which the government may enforce its regulations, "Washed by warm currents of the Pacific! the coast regions enjoy ■ mild climate and In Vancouver cltv or on Vancouver Island the visitor imagines himself in England. Chim- atlcally, geographically and, perhaps, In natural resources the island Is to North America what the British Isles are to Europe. The scenery In the Rockies and Selklrks at least equals that of the Alps. The Interior abounds in game and game fish, nnd altogether its topography and sporting attractions stamp it as one of Ihe world's great, playgrounds and health resorts. Once Vancouver and Prince Rupert get into closer touch w''h Croat Bi't- ain and Europe by way of the Panama Canal, British Columbia is likely to advance rapidly towards its rightful place In Confederation and In the world. o The Yakoun river will soon be cleared the full distance required according to Mr. Trodden, superintend- on! of wharves. It Is now complete! for about 30 miles. When all the obstructions are removed the river will be readily navigable by small boats. Prospector Falls Into Yawning Crack And Breaks Leg In the rush to the Naas river country following the placer news Bill Featherly, prospector, came near ending his exciting career by a misstep on the Bitter creek glacier which threw him into a crack breaking his right leg, says the Portland Canal Miner. His partners were unable to assist, him greatly other than to make him as comfortable as possible and and hurry away for aid which was soon found, and then began a record breaking mush down the trail to Bitter creek where work was sent to Stewart. Immediately following the news here, Jack Huggard organized a rescue party to go to Featherly's aid. It was a hard 16-mile trip get ting to the glacier, but that was not. a circumstance to the difficulty of carrying the injured man back down the trail to Bitter creek where wagon was in waiting. Featherly and his rescuers arrived in Stewart where Dr. G. E. Richards met them and took Featherly to the Stewart general hospital where he is getting along as nicely as circumstances will allow, j . ■' o DEVELOPING COAL Provincial Capitalists Will Begin Exploiting Measures On Islands Areas Held Near Masset Will Tested at Once by Boring Operations be Among the recent visitors to the city Was John G. Johnston who is prominently identified with various enterprises connected with the Queen Charlotte Islands". He represents a strong syndicate of capitalists in Vancouver and Victoria Who are interested in the coal deposits of tbat part of the province. There is reason to believe that this syndicate will soon begin operations in connection with the properties held by them near Masset. Almost at once a first class boring outfit is to be? put at work on the ground in order to' fully test the measures which are held by the company. Following this there will be active mining carried on, the intention being to go right ahead with the development of the mines. The repprts of the engineers are all that could be asked for so tbat those interested have no doubt as to the future of the proposition. There is a demand for coal that will be ever increasing and the company is laying plans to meet the most active demands that may offer. 15. C.'S EXAMPLE Ontario Will Follow Local License Legislation We never know the meaning of life till we read it In Hie eyes of those we love. Temperance leaders of Ontario have recently received assurances from semi-official sources that at the next meeting of the Ontario legislature Premier Whitney will present an entirely reconstructed liquor law which report says will be closely modelled upon British Columbia's legislation in this regard, the successful enforcement of which is being closely observed by eastern politicians. In the new Ontario liquor law, it is promised, the present system, providing for Independent district boards will be wholly abolished, and the law of the province will be administered from Toronto direct, the provincial police assuming similar functions to those bestowed upon them by the law in British Columbia. Throughout British Columbia each day brings some new item of evidence suporting the success in practice of the new law, and it is Inter- esting- to note that certain of the strongest advocates of local option are now publicly endorsing a fair trial of tbe license law in association With a campaign of education In the eivls of alcohol ln preference to any attempt to bring forward the Canada Temperance Act at the present juncture. The latest endorsement of the new act comes from Cumberland where at a meeting Just, held of the Local Option League, a resolution was adopted expressing satisfaction that, "the Local Option League had secured the passage of this new law and that its enforcement all over British Columbia Is proving a credit to the province." o—r— She—No, Reggie, my mind Is made up. lie—What! Not even that much of you real? *♦<•♦♦»>♦•>♦•>♦♦•> •5***3,*5''5''3'#'3'**,*^4'1 % Automobile Highway f *****+*♦******+********♦♦* The building of a complete highway from Calgary over the Rocky mountains down the Columbia valley, the "orchard of the prairies," to Wilmer, on beautiful Windermere lake, British Columbia, is being contemplated and it is probable that this project, which will result in perhaps the most beautiful highway in the world, will be undertaken In the course of a year or so. The aid of both the Alberta and the British Columbia provincial governments and of the Dominion government will be invoked and automobile associations will also be requested to help. The suggested name of the road is "the automobile highway of the Great Divide," says the Calgary Herald. Mayor R. R. Jamieson was in the Columbia valley last week and talked the proposal over with R. R. Bruce, the executive head of the Columbia Valley Fruit and Land Co., Ltd., of Wilmer, B.C. The details of the plans for this road which will furnish a delightful automobile ride, have not been completed as yet, of course, but as outlined the scheme appears feasible. The scenery through out Is unequalled in the world. The road will pass through the Vermillion Pass, and the trip through the mountains and down the magnificent Columbia valley, will be one hundred and fifty miles in length and will combine a variety of scenery that will be entrancing to the eye of the tourist and sightseer. Inns located at places along the road will add attractiveness to the drive and furnish places for refreshment for the traveller, besides adding a certain picturesqueness and giving an old country aspect to the drive. A magnificent hotel at Windermere, on Windermere lake, will be built by the C. P. R. probably, and there travellers can enjoy all the plendor of a palatial hottel with occasional excursions Into the' mountains or aling the driveway. Calgary has been suggested as the starting point for this highway of the great divide. The name, incidentally, Was selected by Mayor Jamieson and Mr. Bruce, and appears eminently suitable from every point of view. From here to Banff, a distance of eighty miles, the automobile association will be asked to cooperate with the provincial government to make a good roadway. This will extend to the easterly limit of the' National park, and will be a delightful drive in itself. Then the Dominion government will be requested to take care of the road from there to the summit of the Rocky Mountains to the eastern limit of British Columbia. Mr. Bruce informed the mayor of Calgary that the British Columbia government has signified its willingness to build the road from the summit of the Rockies to connect with the present road running from Golden to near Wilmer down the Columbia valley. Those who have travelled through the mountains can testify to tbe magnificence'of the scenery. Observation cars give the tourist an opportunity to see the rugged scenery, the dashing rivers and creeks, and the splendor of the Rockies. Along the proposed drfveway, though, travellers will be given an opportunity to pause at particularly beautiful spots and to make side'journeys Into the mountains trom the inns en route. The journey might be taken by stages, going from here to Banff, and stopping there for a day or so, and then on through the mountains with occasional stay-overs at the wayside hostelrles to fish, hunt or sightsee for a day or so. Then another stage of the journey might be followed with a similar stop. The Columbia valley with its scenery, Its fruit orchards and trees and beautiful Windermere lake, would form a' fitting climax to the trip through the mountains. At the magnificent new hotel planned at Windermere a stop for a few days would be pleasant and motor trips up the various valleys leading out of the main valley would acquaint the tourist with the country. Then the trip could be continued down the valley to Cranbrook by an excellent road and over the summit of the Crow's Nest Pass to Calgary, making the trip a round one, or rather a square one, for the journey would comprise routes forming a huge rectangle, 150 miles around. Not another trip In the world, It would be safe to say, would combine the scenic possibilities of this trip and in a short time the "Automobile Highway of the Great Divide" would become world famous. The mayor of Calgary has the highest opinion of the possiblltles of such a driveway and Is enthusiastic nhout it. The valley of the Columbia appealed very much to him, Tho C. P. R. has looked over the proposed road and find it feasible, the summit of the road being twenty-five feet lower than the summit of the main line of their railway through the Rockies. An effort will be made to add quaintness and charm to the drive and automobilist8 from all over the world will doubtless soon be acquainted with the route. Steps will be taken in the near future to put the proposition in definite form. The value to Calgary of such a highway would be considerable. \ o WORLD'S COAL OUTPUT Figures Relative to This Line of Industry Have Ileen Completed The world's output of coal during 1908 is computed at 1,068 million tons, and its value Is estimated at .C409,500,000, says a London exchange. Of this amount nearly 266,000,000 tons were produced In the United Kingdom. America tops the list with 377% million tons, and Germany comes third with 215,286,000 tons But while the output of Great Britain is less than the United States, the value of America's coal Is only £109,- 305,000, compared with £116,599,- 000 for the United Kingdom. At home and abroad nearly 6,000, 000 persons are employed in mining and quarrying. Of this total (5,819,- 120) nearly one-fifth, roughly speak Ing, are employed in the United Kingdom and more than one-third id the British Empire. More than one-half the people engaged in mining are employed getting coal, the figures for the more Important coal producing countries being:— United Kingdom 972,000 United States 690,000 Germany 667,000 France 195,000 Russia 165,000 Belgium 145,000 Austria 132,000 India 129,000 The total output of gold was 21 million ounces of £89,500,000 value, the British Empire supplying nearly 60 per cent and the United States 22 per cent. In the case of iron United States with an output of over 16,000,- 000 tons, ten millions less than the year before, was still considerably ahead of any other country, the German Empire! producing six and two- third million tons and Great Britain nearly five million tons.

Has Two Areas Designated on tbe Skeena River for Carrying on Operations Fuller information as to the provincial government's intentions relative to the experimental orchards In the province are now forthcoming. According to the plan northern British Columbia will constitute the fifth official division, to which two orchards will be given, the one in the Kitsumkalum, and the other at Lakelse. It Is probable, however ( that a third may be located in connection with the model farm of Mr. Mitchell and his associates at Kitmangar. To Vancouver Island two orchards are allotted, the one to be between Cowichan and Nanaimo, and the other in the Saanich peninsula somewhere in the vicinity of Victoria. Four orchards are allowed to the lower mainland; one probably In the Delta, one in Chilliwack and two in the Dewdney ridge. The second orchards district is to comprise Shuswap, Armstrong, Nicola, Salmon Arm and Penneys (Wal- lachin), two orchards going to the constituency of Yale and two to that of Kamloops. Either three or four orchards are proposed for the third official district, which is to include Vernon, Kelowna, .Summerland, Pentlcton and Keremeos. The fourth district provides for the Arrow district, Kootenay and the Boundary country, East and N. E. Kootenay. It Is expected that two orchards will be awarded to the Slocan district, one being given on Arrow and one on Slocan lake, with one on the Kootenay lake in the vicinity of Nelson, one at or near Cranbrook, one at Windermere, one at Rossland, and another at Midway. The method in which the work is to be carried out has been explained by Hon. F. Carter-Cotton, who, speaking recently on the subject, described the proposition as embracing a five acre plot. The laud of these five acres must be put Into such shape that fruit could be raised upon it. If it were timber land it would be first sown in clover to improve the soil and when that was done the government would undertake to prepare the soil marked out, provide and plant the trees free of all cost to the owner of the orchard and deliver them at the station nearest to his place. Then the owner would take care of these trees for the period of five years. During that time he would be guided by the advice of experts of the department who should be at liberty at any time to hold a demonstration and show what could be produced and the best way to cultivate the trees. The government expert, would select the trees and give the benefit of their advice In the choice of variety. After five years the orchard and trees would become the property of the owner of the soil, so that they saw it would cost nothing to the owners and the government was making a substantial grant by purchasing the trees besides people would have the advantage of the advice of those who made these things a study. In many cases failure had arisen not through unfavorable conditions of soil and climate but through Inexperience and lack of knowledge when they started the orchard. It was to obviate this the scheme was planned and he would be much pleased If their association would take counsel In this matter and make an offer of a five acre tract to the government for the establishment of one of these demonstration orchards within the next few weeks. That was one of the ways a government could foster local Industry without Interfering with Individual effort. TECHNICAL EDUCATION Manitoba Has Appointed a Commission of its Own on Subject The Manitoba government has appointed a technical educational commission, headed by the minister of education and consisting of twenty- two persons, representing labor, manufacture, educationists, the agricultural college and social workers A feature Is the Inclusion of two women, Mrs. A. W. Puttee, wife of a former member for Winnipeg, and Mies Juniper, a well-known social worker. Manitoba thus stands aloof from the federal government commission along similar lines. <•.>.;. »2..j.<.^«.>.>.t*->'->*;..:**;..:.'i>^.{-^.*><-.4'<*iiiiSi ... ! Guiding Torpedoes j ♦j. ^.»>ij.^..j.»;4^.^i»j.^.»;«.>^«ij»,>^.<*^..3..>ij'.^» <«<*<* Some remarkable results have been achieved by Mr. A. J. Roberts, a young Australian inventor, in the control and guidance of torpedoes and aeroplanes by means of Hertzian waves. These are, in the language of the layman, electrlcan discharges and are a form of "wireless." Mr. Roberts is at present in England, whither he proceeded last year bearing credentials to the Admiralty from Mr. Deakin. His brother has furnished some account of his doings. Mr. Roberts established himself on a lake at Dagenham, Essex, and, after many delays and mishaps got his apparatus into working order. About three months ago he had the satisfaction of successfully guiding a torpedo on and under the surface of the water in any direction he aesired. "It rammed a moving buoy," said Mr. Roberts yesterday, "dived below the surface of the lake, dashed along the top in figures of eight, and*then my brother whistled to it, and it returned to the dock like a well-trained seal." The system by which these remarkable evolutions are accomplished is simply an application of the principles of wireless telegraphy. "We send messages to the torpedo," said Mr. Roberts, "and the toipefo understands them. The waves are so regulated as to effect different receivers on the torpedo, by means of which various electric switches are affected, and the planes and rudders regulated at the will of the operator. When the torpedo is submerged deeply by the depression of ata II- plane, the communication is temporarily broken." "Then how do you get her up again if you can't speak to her?" "That's easy," smiled Mr. Roberts, as he pulled a stop-watch from his pocket. "When she gets round to here," (Indicating the racing hand of the watch) "she connects up a switch which operates the planes, and up comes the torpedo. There Is an automatic arrangement which straightens the plane when she reaches the surface. Anyhow, she couldn't fly up in the air, but if the plane were not straightened it would retard her speed. We have marked her course before she dives, and we pick her up again when she comes to the surface." "Your trials were made in smooth water. What about a rough sea?" "Yes, that makes It more difficult, but you know that Brennan fitted his torpedo with gyroscopes to keep her straight. Our idea is to fit the Brennan w'th our gear and probably attach an aerial wire to receive the messages. That would enable the torpedo to run submerged, and thus preserve the great advantage of the invisibility. You can kil a torpedo with quiekfirers If she runs on the surface. The depth at which she runs is regulated by an automatic contrivance of air chambers. Of course, that is all Brennan's.. stuff. We have to do only with the directing. If we should miss our target we can circle her round again and have another shot. We were well satisfied with our trials—there were three official occasions—and we have to make certain improvements in the hull to meet conditions which the trials discovered. We want to fix our gear to an Admiralty torpedo modified to suit it. An aerial wire, for instance, would affect her running in the water and that, among other things, would have to be met." "The principle may be extended to navigation?" "Yes, my brother brought a French dirigible, 105 feet in length, 40-horse power, and was able to guide her with the wireless apparatus He has also sent up a Voisin biplane and manipulated both rudders and planes by wireless. There was a pilot on board in case any of the delicate mechanism failed, and he also looked to It that tlfe engine kept running. You don't send thousands of pounds' worth up Into tricky air currents, and risk too much on a chance. We had a small model plane at Doncaster, which we were controlling in this way. My brother has also applied the gyroscope to the aeroplane for lateral stability by fitting his 80-horse power Voisin with gyroscopes revolving 6,000 times per minutes. The problem has been solved, but at the cost of greatly-Increased weight and a bigger strain on the driving power of the engine. But all this aeroplane work Is in the purely experimental stage. The torpedo control Is the finished article, and In that we are practically within sight of our goal." It Is always safe to learn, even from our enemies—seldom safe to Instruct, even our friends. BACK TO CANADA T. J. Tait After Putting Australian Railways in Shape Has Retired. Well Known Transportation Man Expects to Return to This Country The retirement of Mr. Thomas James Talt, chairman of the Victorian railway commission, in Australia, has taken place under remarkable circumstances. Mr. Talt went there several years ago from Canada, where he had been manager of transportation over the entire system of the C. P. R., says a special cable to the News-Advertiser from Melbourne. In the spring of 1903 he took over his appointment in this state and started in to effect many reforms in the administration of the railways. He labored hard and as a result of his work the railway system of the state was converted from a non-paying to a paying basis. Indeed so successful was he that recently a profit of $2,750 a day was made on the system; while last year's surplus reached the considerable figure ot $1,000,000. During the present year Mr. Talt's good fortune did not continue, however. Accidents were numerous on the line and some lives were lost P1 well as great damage being done to property. Much unrest in the ranks of the workers displayed itself and in addition the Labor party in the state parliament launched venomous attacks against Mr. Tait's management. One section of the press also aided the agitation and made grossly unfair charges. Matters came to a head recently when the adjournment of the house of assembly was moved to afford opportunity for discussion of a proposal to hold official inquiry into the cause of the numerous accidents on the system. The premier, however, before the debate had proceeded far, rose and announced that Mr. Tait, for family erasons, had decided to relinquish his post under the government. His engagement would In any .event have terminated shortly, but Mr. Tait was anxious to be leleased at the beginning of December. The leader of the government and his supoprters warmly eulogized the work of Mr. Tait in the state and referred to him as "a first-class railway manager." In a letter Mr. Tait said he wished to leave Australia solely for family reasons. It is understood he returns to Canada in the new year. The statement of Sir Thomas Shaughnessy of the Canadian Pacific railway, is recalled here by the press which regrets Mr. Tait's departure: "Mr. Tait should never have left us. There is a chair waiting for him." Mr. Talt was born in Melbourne, Quebec, in 1S64. The son of Sir Melbourne Tait, chief justice of the superior court for the province of Quebec, he was educated at tbe High School, Montreal, and in 1880 entered the audit office of the Grand Trunk railway. Later he became secretary lo Sir William Van Home, then vice-president and general manager of the C. P. railway. Afterwards he was successively assistant superintendent at Moose Jaw; general superintendent Ontario division at Toronto; general superintendent of Ontario and Quebec division; assistant general manager of the whole system; manager of the lines east of Port Arthur; manager of transportation east of Port Arthur, and finally manager of transportation over the whole system. When he took up his duties in Melbourne the deficit on the state railways in Victoria averaged $5,000 a day, so comparing the magnitude of the present surplus some Idea of his achievements may be gained.

We realize our duty to the public to give them the news and will not shirk that responsibility. This is no new doctrine to us that is being preached by members of the council. We have experience to go by and will follow the lessons learned. When it comes to a question of public spirit and an honest endeavor to serve the best interests of Prince —upert we are not prepared to take second place to any member of the city council. At last evening's meeting of the city council the press of the city came In for a good deal of criticism. Members of the press are always prepared for that. Without meaning to any way apply the reference to the members of the Prince Rupert City Council in this particular case, there is ever a tendency on the part of representative bodies when they get into trouble to find some excuse for getting out and in about nine cases out of ten the unfortunate press is blamed for the trouble. Again we say we do not mean to make this apply in the present instance because the council showed a creditable spirit in facing the situation which has arisen, in a manly way and proceeding at once to right matters. The Journal has confidence enough in the business ability of the council to believe it will get things in shape so that the city will feel no evil effects from the situation created. But dealing with the question of the press as discussed by the council we are inclined to think that the members of the council failed to appreciate the questions which the press are called upon on short notice to decide every day. The press has a duty to the public. It is to give them the news as it happens. It is a serious matter to supress the news and the very people who are generally the first to critize the press for the publication of information that may not he agreeable to them are the first to raise loud objections when news is suppressed which might have an injurious effect upon others. The result has been that the best journalists have found that the wisest course is to publish the un- garbled facts as they arise irrespective as to who Is affected by it. There must of necessity be some variations from this rule which must be decided on their merits as they arise, but the reputable newspaper has always got to bear in mind that It has contracted with its readers to give them a fair chronicle of the events as they transpire. As in other walks of life of course every one outside of a newspaper office knows infinitely more about running a paper than the men who are engaged in it. As has before been stated in these columns, we do not believe that a city council, any more than any other body of business men, is called upon never to hold private sessions. The council might well find It necessary in the public interest to meet privately. The council must take tiie responsibility in each case for so meeting. We believe that a council will find it unnecessary to often resort to private meetings, but matters will sometimes arise that require such methods of handling. If the representatives of the people err in judgment in holding such a meeting in private It is almost sure to come back against them later on when the facts must come out. In connection with the question of the assesment of the G. T. P. property and the difference of opinion that has arisen with the council, the Journal feels that it cannot be charged against this paper that it sought to inflame public opinion over the matter. While we felt called upon to give all the facts as they arose, we refrained in the public Interest from making news capital out of it. We avoided studiously all sensationalism in the matter. Feeling the Important bearing thai ii had upon the city we fell il a duty to urge prompt ac- ticm looking towards a final settlement which would remove all danger of anything such as has now arisen "oming forward. The tone of Ibis paper in the matter has been far less sensational than some of the speeches of members of the council in the matter. We si ill believe that the question Is one in which sentiment must play little or no part. It is a business proposition that must he faced in cold blood. Let there be an absence of panic and of temper and all can be adjusted satisfactorily. For the enlightenment of the members of the council we will state that r.s far as the Journal Is concerned we will be very reluctant to suppress anything that takes place ln open session of the council. Members of the council must feel their responsibility in the position they FINANCIAL 0,1 I.STIOX The council has been asked for Information relative to the financial position of ihe city by the Bank of Montreal as a condition upon which the necessary money will be jadvanced preparatory to floating the debentures of the city. The sub- !mining of this to the manager of the : hank at Montreal will necessarily delay operations by the council with j respect to starting work on the whole | of section one, but there is no reason J for anticipating that the delay will (be long. The bank practically urges a settlement of the assessment dispute with the G. T. P. as a necessary move before the debentures are put on the money market. The bank is concerned alone with the financial aspect of the matter. With a difference existing between the railway company and the council no matter how small an amount is involved, a disquieting effect might be produced on the money markets which would have its effect in the sale of the debentures for which the bank will be the agents. The management of the Institution is therefore concerned in seeing the matter settled in some way or another so as to preclude any disquieting effect. The sum involved in dispute is too trifling to prejudice the city's credit, but in floating debentures the bank probably realizes that It cannot afford to have anything that requires explanation and might involve loss in the proceeds of the stock offered. It is not to be anticipated that the whole matter will not be settled and that quite quickly, but in Prince Rupert we have come to look for things moving with the greatest acceleration. No allowance is made for necessary delays as in older places. It is reasonable to suppose that the Bank of Montreal does not care whether the G. T. P. is taxed twice as much as at present or exempted altogether from taxation. All that the bank is concerned with is the question of whether there is anything which will tend to upset the financial arrangements which it has to carry out. A settlement of some kind will remove all this and the bank would then feel confident in going on the market. The question that has arisen is one of those vexatious things that every public body is liable to run up against. It requires careful handling and an absence of panic on the part of the citizens and all will come well. The council has the most exact information in the whole matter. They realize the situation very ful'y we believe and should not be too much embarrassed by the general public while making an effort to adjust the financial matters connected with carrying on the works of improvement here. It may possibly have the effect of more quickly settling the assessment question as it is reasonable to suppose that the G.T.P. will be only too anxious to expedite matters and thus aid the financial arrangements of tbe city being carried out. o A UNION SHOP The Journal has no desire to become mixed up in any petty wrangling as to conduct of the office. For the Information of the public, however and to remove any doubt which might happen lo be aroused wo will slate that the Journal is a union office and has always been on". We have had no trouble with the Typographical Union and are not courting it. As a "urdon shop" we are paying the union scale of wages as,every man must know. No other office in the city pays higher wages than the Journal. We acknowledge thai we never heard that the International Typographical Union, which embraces thousands of members on this con tinent, and which is recognized by practically every printing office in Canada and the United States, had made any special efforts to secure the Journal to the union. We further do not believe that this was done, and feel that this same statement would apply to every other office In the city.

Mr. Sweeney appeared to be well satisfied with the progress of the city. MUST REMOVE BUILDINGS City Council Will Give Final Chance to Those on Streets and Lanes The streets committee at the council meeting on Wednesday night recommended the serving of another notice to those having buildings on the streets and lanes that they should be removed within six days or the city would do it. This it. was recommended was necessary, so that the succeeding council might not be troubled with it. Aid. Mobley thought six days might be a little too short a time to do some of the work. The report was adopted, however. In future dragging logs along the planked streets without some protection being afforded In the way of support will be prohibited. The police and the building inspector will be empowered to see that the rules are carried out. * —o— Clarke Brothers, importers and wholesale dealers In wines and liquors, have now opened up in the Christ'anjen & Brandt building, on Third avenue.

Gibson of Victoria Has Demonstrated the Success of His Machine. His Lack of Knowledge in Aviation, However, Results in Damage W. W. Gibson, the Victoria aviator, has made a second flight with his twin-plane. This flight showed once more the flying qualities of the machine, but it demonstrated also that while inventors may be born, aviators must be made. Mr. Gibson left the shed with his plane about 4 o'clock in the after- non anod starting his engine on a slight incline rose to the air about fifty feet from the shed. Passing the shelter of a clump of trees a strong cross wind was encountered with the result that the aeroplane was drifted dangerously near some trees, Mr. Gibson not using his rudder. He shut off his engine to avoid colision and came down, but unfortunately his wheels were not equipped with brakes and the momentum drove the aeroplane into an oak tree at the rate of about 25 miles an hour. The slight damage which occurred as a result of the contact with the tree indicated strongly the substantial structure of the machine.- The damage, apart from the splitting of a couple of wooden planes and the buckling of a wooden lateral truss, was confined to injury of two of the whee's. Repairs will be effected within the course of a few days and another flight will then be made. In discussing the flight, Mr. Gibson said he was under the disadvantage of having to learn the art of aviation by experience, there being no "flying schools" In British Columbia. His flights have demonstrated to his sit- isfaction that the machine is all that is required and all that is necessary to demonstrate it is practice in "airmanship." The Gibson twin-plane Is a unique machine. It differs from all previous types of aeroplanes. It fts composed of two planes, one behind the other, both triangular. These planes are fixed, the machine rising or falling according to the elevation of depression of a triangular plane of cedar which is worked by a lever and forms the nose of the craft. There are also a couple of other cedar planes beneath the triangular canvas ones which aid materially in lifting. Altogether he has 330 square feet of lifting service as against 160 of the Bleriot monoplane. The remarkable feature of the Gibson twin-plane Is that owing to its design it is automatically stable and its stability is increased by the fact that the engine is suspended in the centre of the airship beneath the planes. The propelelrs are fixed, one in front and one behind the engine. These revolve in contrary directions and the air produced contributes to the buoyancy of the craft instead of tending to depres it as is the case with other aeroplanes which have their propellers fixed on the top of the machine. The operator sits in front and above the front propeller and thus is no incommoded by the wind made by the revolving blades. This removes much of the discomfort experienced by other airman owing to the coldness developed by the wind from the propellers. The craft is steered by a rudder somewhat of the same shape as the rudder of a racing shell and Is made of varnished cedar. In general appearance the Gibson twin-plane Is also unique. It is about 64 feet long by less than ten feet In width at the widest part, tapering to a point fore and aft, thus the air resistance is reduced to a minimum and much greater speed per horse-power can be devoleped. This type of machine too, offers much less surface to the wind, and so will be able to cope with much more adverse atmospheric conditions than the familiar monoplane or biplane. The engine develops forty horse-power and was designed by Mr. Gobson himself. The machine, also, complete with engine, weighs about 500 pounds, and has been tested to carry half a ton dead weight with ease. The building inspector has condemned the Dunedin block and insists upon Its being vacated until strengthened. The council, upon his recommendation, last night decided to endorse the proposal. o MEAGRE WINE HARVEST This Year's Will be the Worst on Record in France It can safely be said that the wine harvest of 1910 will be one of the worst on record, says a Paris despatch. Particularly Is this so in France. It sometimes happens that a comparative failure In the claret district may be compensated by a respectable champagne vintage, or a poor crop may be gathered in Burgundy at the same time that the Charentes are producing one of the finest brandies on record, but this year's outlook Is exceedingly gloomy over the whole of France.

SPORTS AFTER MANN CUP Vancouver's champion senior amateur lacrosse team has gone east. The boys are going after the Mann cup, emblematic of the amateur championship of Canada, and they carry with them the best wishes of thousands of lacrosse enthusiasts in the west. It is the first trip ever taken by an amateur team in quest of championship honors and the boys are determined to return with the scalps of the easterners. Eighteen have gone along ln the party, the players travelling by their own car. Mr. James Findlay will manage the tour. The players who are making the trip are: Goal, McDonald; point, F.

Gilmore. Reserves: Arthur Wright and Grant Gunn. Games will be played in Toronto October 1st and 8th with the winner of next Saturday's game between St. Catherines and Young Torontos. ROYAL SPORTSMAN There can now be no doubt but that King George V Is to take an active interest in the turf. The entries for the big classics of 1912 are published and his majesty has entered anima's freely, which may be accepted as a sign that he will soon follow turf cffairs as his father did, and it goes almost without saying that a victory for the royal colors either at Epsom or Doncaster would bo hailed with the greatest delight. In the Jerby the king has made five entries, and an equal number have had the first forfeit paid in the Oaks and St. Leger. King George became a member of the jockey club so long ago as 186 4. He has been a frequent visitor to Newmarket, Ascot and Goodwood, and he was present on ea.'h of the memorable occasions when King Edward won the Derby. His majesty has of late years been a bleeder of blood stock on a small scale. The king has also graciously consented to become patron of the amateur football association, and, in fact, for every branch of sport lie has at one time or another shown that lie has a liking. He Is particularly fond of gun and rifle, and few men of his age have had more variety of sport. He has shot, for instance, crested screamers on Argentine pampas; quail, peacock, duck and kangaroo In Australia, and elk, sambus, snipe and buffalo in Ceylon; while in China he actually had a shot at a fox. There are, Indeed, very few better shots In Europe than the king—a fact which proves him to be the possessor of sureness of eye and coolness and steadiness of nerve. A magazine of sport recently held a sportsman's plebiscite as to who were the twelve most remarkable shots in the coun try, and the result found the then Prince of Wales in the fourth place, after Lord de Brey, Lord Walsingham and Headley Noble. His majesty has performed the very astonishing feat of firing both barrels of two guns in such rapid succession that he has had four dead pheasants falling through the air at the same moment. At Balmoral he achieved what is nearly a record—out of twenty-two stags, the result of a week's stalk, King George had thirteen to his own rifle. WESTERN OARSMAN British Columbia oarsmen have a worthy representative in the east In the person of Charlie Lalng, the former Vancouver sculled, who Is on an extended visit to the east. The announcement that he has been matched with Eddie Durnan, the crack Torontonion, will be read with interest Lalng represented the Vancouver club In many Important events on the Pacific coast in late years, winning the single scull championship a couple of seasons ago from Gloss, the crack Portland sculler. Last year he went east to represent the V. R. C. at the Canadian Henley, and while on a visit to the Cobalt district was taken ill and laid up for several months. He expects to return to Vancouver early next spring. The conditions in his match race Durnan are that it shall be a three- milec ontest, that Lalng shall have a lead of 20 seconds, and that each man shall be backed to the extent of $1,000 a side. The race is to be rowed either on Toronto bay or at Boston in about a month's time An eastern exchange, referring to Laing, says: "Lalng, who held the Pacific coast championship for four years, has been at Lachine all summer. Charles Stevenson and James Wray, the well-known oarsmen and coaches, will have him in the pink of condition by race day. Laing Is 26 years of age and weighs 16X pounds. He claims that be was out of shape when he was beaten at the Canadian Henley this summer." BASEBALL CHAMPIONSHIP The first game of the world's baseball championship series between Chicago and the Philadelphia Athletics will be played In Chicago on Sunday, October 15, according to present plans. If Stanley Roblson and the St. Louis team would only move up one of the last games the opening date would be made one day earlier, but Roblson says he can't see it. There will be a meellng In Chloago as soon as the pennant races are absolutely decided between the members of the national committee and representatives of the two teams to arrange the details of the games. A move Is on to take the seventh game, if one is required, to New York. A BOOM IN LACROSSE During the year 1911 the whole of Canada from coast to coast will receive the greatest boom in lacrosse that It has seen since the game was flrst Introduced. This is the opinion of Joe Lally, of Cornwall, who came west.with the Nationals of Montreal. Mr. Lally Is one of the most enthusiastic lacrosse men in Canada and one who knows the game from beginning to end. He is prepared to do all In his power to stimulate the game and before he leaves for the East he will assist In the organization of school lacrosse leagues in New Westminster, Vancouver and Victoria. He will continue this work as he proceeds eastward and his firm are doubling their working staff ln order to supply the Increased demand for lacrosse sticks. Here Is what the Montreal Gazette has to say about Mr. Lally's trip West: "Joe Lally, of Cornwell, will witness the struggles at New Westminster between the National and New Westminster teams for the Minto cup. He wi'l leave Cornwall for Toronto this morning, where he will attend the meeting of the board of trustees of the Mann cup, to make final arrangements for the play-off, which will be held in Toronto. Up to the present time Vancouver and Winnipeg are the two teams from the West which have sent challenges for this trophy, and when the C. L. A. championship has been decided the final play-oif will take place. There is considerable interest aroused in Winnipeg and Vancouver over the coming matches to decide the possession of this cup, and It looks as though amateur lacrosse Is coming back strong. Leaving Toronto Saturday night or Sunday morning, Mr. Lally's first stop on the road out will be Winnipeg, where he expects to stay a day or so. He will go then to Vancouver and from there to Victoria. Beginning with Victoria, It Is his intention to assist in the organization of school lacrosse leagues in that city, Vancouver and New Westminster. After the Minto cup games, which he will witness, he will start for home, going to Nelson, Rossland, Calgary, Edmonton, Saskatoon, Regina, Brandon and Winnipeg. In all these places the Cornwall man will endeavor, with the assistance of local enthusiasts, to establish lacross leagues in the different schools, by interesting devotees of the national game ln a similar manner to which he did In the Bast, and will be prepared to meet any demands made upon him for sticks, as he Is doubling his working staff this year. Mr. Lally says lie has several letters from lacrosse-loving sports In these different places, and Is satis- fled that Canada, from coast to coast will receive the greatest boom In lacrosse during 1911 that It has seen since the game was first Introduced. Joe Lally has done as much, If not more, for the national game than any man In Canada, and haB long been considered one of the best and squares!, referees In the country. He knows the style of play of both the East and West, and will be able to give a fair and Impartial opinion of the Minto cup games on his return east." o For Job Printing or all kinds sec the Journal man. ,.j,,;,,|,.». from .;. <$>.;. ►*. >*..;..;. ,j.»;. .j..;«»*..;. »j*,;«,-.»;.,;,.;«... .j..;,,;,,., .j.... | MARINE NEWS 1 * * ■■> $ *> * ^»> i> ♦ iiM* ♦ *> * ij* •> •> *; To Arrive Friday, Sept. 30.—Camosun Vancouver.

Bent, expects to get away from this port about Sunday. The G. T. P. Is using all expedition to get the cargo of rails off so as to allow of this being carried out. Leaving here the steamer will proceed to Nanaimo and take on coal. She will then proceed to San Francisco and load 7,000 tons ] of barley for the United Kingdom. j The Bannockburn Is one of the best appointed steamships engaged in ilie carrying trade. She can make a speed of 14 knots without any tro',« ble, and Capt. Dent expects to make the trip to Nanaimo in 30 hours. matters of public importance are accepted as final by the reading public of Sydney and the surrounding country. Mr. Bean was especially struck by the work of the wireless apparatus of the Marama, which while lying in Honolulu harbor, picked up a message from the American Naval station at Sitka, Alaska, over 2,500 miles away. The Marama also kept in communication for a distance of 2,200 miles from Sydney, with H. M. S. Powerful, flagship of the Australian fleet. Only for two days was the Marama out of communication with the rest of the world. "While approaching the Pacific coast it was like coming under the fire of a battery of guns," said Mr. Bean. "As soon as we were out of Honolulu the operator aboard the vessel began picking up the word of the different stations along the Amer ican coast and by this means we were able to keep in communication with the rest of the world." MAY TIED DP COMPILSOISY WIRELESS Compulsory wireless legislation requiring vessels carrying passengers and touching Australian ports, will be ln force in the Antipodes within (be course of a year, is the opinion of Mr. C. E. to. Bean, one of th&edltors of the Sydney Morning Herald, who J arrived In Vancouver a few days ago I on bis way to London lo tnke up his l duties as London correspondent for | his paper. Mr. Bean Is one of the [best known newspaper men In the Commonwealth, and his opinions on The C. P. R. will not likely have the use of the steamer Princess May again this year. This is due to the fact as anounced some time ago in the Journal that a hitch has occurred In connection with the bids for ru- pairs. The underwriters have considered that the bids submitted for the work of repairing tbe steamer Princess .May in consequence of her stranding at Sentinel Island reef on August 5, are excessive. Seven bids were submitted, the lowest being that of the British Columbia Marine Railway company, of Esquimau, which agreed to make the necessary repairs, according to the specifications drawn up by the suiveyors for the owners and underwriters, for $85,000, the work to be completed within eighty days. The tenders were: — Heffernan Engine Works, Seattle, $131,200, (Including duty), 85 days. Hall Bros., Eagle harbor, $120,000 (plus duty) 95 days. Moran Shipyards, Seattle, $125,000 (including duty) 00 days. Willamette Iron Works, Portland, $105,0.00, (plus duty) 90 days. Wallace Shipyard Co., Vancouver, $98,750, 70 days. Victoria Machinery Depot, $94,200, 8 4 days. British Columbia Marine Railway Co., $85,000, 80 days. The bids were referred to the underwriters In England by cable and a reply was received ordering the steamer afloat. The underwriters cabled to Capt, .1. to. Logan, special agent of the London Salvage Association, who Is In charge of the business, that they were of Ihe opinion that the bids were too high and that It was not the Intention to award a contract. Meanwhile the Princess May has been floated from the ways of the British Columbia Marine railway al Bsqulmalt, where she was hauled out on being lowed to Esquimau by the' tug William olllffe. of jtlie li. C. Salvage Company, which vessel aided the steamer Santa Cruz, of the Puget Sound Salvage Company In floating the vessel. The two salvage vessels were en gaged under a daily charter by Capt. Logan, who superintended the work of floating the steamer, and the underwriters' defrayed the actual expense of the salvage Instead of entering into a contract on the "no cure no pay" arrangement as is usual. Approximately eighty plates have to be handled, about fifty being renewed, and many floors, beams and frames have to be replaced and repaired. The case of the Princess May Is unlike that of the Yucatan. In that case the underwriters have found the bids submitted satisfactory, but the owners contend that the steamer is a constructive total loss and have refused to accept her, even when repaired. In the case of the Princess May the owning company has not advanced the contention of constructive total loss although the amount bid for the repairs is close to the lowest bid put in for the repairing of the Yucatan, $89,950, submitted by the Willamette Iron & Steel Works, of Portland, Ore. The underwriters and owners are still negotiating with regard to this steamer which is tied up at the outer wharf, and It is expected an arrangement will be made in the near future. o Local News The ladies of the Methodist church will hold their annual banquet on Thanksgiving evening. The new band organ at the Skating Rink is drawing large crowds io that place. The floor is in splenil'd condition for skating. Residents of Ambrose street, section seven, have asked the city for a plank roadway. It has beeu referred to the streets committee for report. L. Crippen has resigned from the provincial government offices. He He has gone south and will later return and look after some Interests he has in this pari of the province. —o— The city purchasing agent has been authorized to purchase a clock for the city hall. In future the office hours of the clerk will be from 10 in llie forenoon lo 4 In the afternoon. This will enable hi in io devote the remainder of Ihe time to the clerical duties of hjs office. ■—o— The lire nnd water committee recommended lo tho council that when necessary the sidewalks might be widened to allow the hose reel to be taken along them without Interference while the street planking waR lorn up. This was agreed lo, and the work Is already being done. The cosl Is very nominal, ii being necessary to lay n few plank., longslde the existing sidewalks. This will preclude any danger of not being able to tnke the hose reel to any place while the streets are being graded. Another recommendation that was agreed to was that those moving I bouses should report each Bight to the fire chief tite exact location of the building nn the streets. PRINCE RUPERT JOURNAL Friday, September 30, 1910. NEWS OF THE PROVINCE Items of General Interest From Centres in British Columbia. Testing Pipes iand they have taken up four claims Vancouver.—City Engineer Clem- close to the ones filed on by the ent has reported to the board of | original locator. Up to the present works on the tests made by him of vitrified and cement sewer pipe, but owing to there being some doubt existing as to where certain pipes came from which were used in the test, another test will be made in the presence of the board of works, when the various parties interested are to be present. The tests made were as follows: Two twelve inch cement pipes were subjected to a crushing weight, one cracked at 11,455 pounds and the other at 12,ITS pounds. A bursting pressure of 60 pounds was applied to the cement pipe, while the tile pipe stood a strain of 110 pounds without breaking. The specifications called for a strain of 30 pounds. In the absorption test the title pipe had a decided advantage over the cement make. Two tile pipes made in St. Louis stood 99 per cent, and a Victoria make 96 per cent. The dry cement pipe absorbed 47 per cent and 50 per cent, while the wetted pipe stood 75 per cent and 87% per cent respectively, Owing to the crude facilities at hand these tests were made at a disadvantage. For the tests to be made six pipes of each make will be used. Christmas Fruit Vernon.—A fine opportunity will be afforded those having friends In tbe Old Country to send them very lime eighteen claims in all have been staked. A few days ago work at Erickson was entirely suspended while the adult population hastened out to secure claims. Pannings have given fifteen colors to the pan of coarse gold. Traces of the precious metal have been tound fifty to sixty feet in the banks of the stream and in the bed of the river gold is believed to be present in paying quantities, as the pannings give better results right down to the water. A meeting of the claim holders will be held this week for the purpose of forming a syndicate to carry out the necessary fluming and tunnelling to enable the gold to be taken from the bed of the stream down to bed rock, which is about from' ten to fifteen feet below the water mark. The syndicate will be known as the Indiano Group, and all the owners of the various claims being local men, it is believed the money necessary to exploit the properties can be easily raised. The river at the present time is very low and conditions are very favorable for prospecting. The claims can be worked fully seven months of the year. They are such that they can be worked with a low capital outlay, and the present indications are that a large quantity of the precious metal can be profitably taken from them. The claim acceptable Christmas gifts this year, i owners are anxious to avoid a stam- and to incidentally give the Okana- \ pede from the outside, and it is dif- gan a good advertisement. Many people have, in former years, desired to forward packages of fruit to their friends in Great Britain, but have been deterred by the high express charges and the uncertainty of the fruit reaching its destination in good condition. These difficulties have now been overcome by an arrangement between the Board of Trade and the C- P- R- whereby a shipment of fruit will be sent forward ln November at car rates, In cold storage, and will be distributed by an agent in Liverpool to those to whom it is addressed. Tho charge will probably not exceed eighty cents a box, and it will be handled in such a manner as to ensure safe and speedy delivery in good condition. Mr. H. P. Lee of this city has been authoried by the Board of Trade to take charge of this shipment. ficult to get the facts as value of the find. :o the real Power Plant Comox, Vancouver Island.—Engineers are now at work making surveys in connection with the project of tbe Canadian Collieries, Limited., (Mackenzie & Mann), for the development of 50,000 horse power on the Pwntridge river in the centre of the Comox coal field. Within six weeks hundreds of men will be engaged in building a dam across the river and erecting a power plant. About n year will be occupied in completing tbe big undertaking. The proposed Improvements will cost Jl,000,000. Tho eloetrlcal energy to be developed will be utilized in operating a system of compressed air haulage In the mines and running various plants as well as fourteen miles of railway connecting the col- liaries with ore bunkers at Union Bay. Herd of Goats Annihilated N'ew Westminster. — Sixty-four Angora goats were killed by the C. P. It. train from Seattle on Sunday evening. The animals had climbed on to the high railway trestle near Clayburn, whou tbe train ploughed through them. A heavy fog prevented the train crew from seeing the herd, which was the property of Mr. Nieholls. Placers of Goat River Nelson. — Great excitement has been aroused in the Creston district by the discovery of-rich placer gold deposits In the bed of the Goat rive'. Ira Beam, an old-time prospector and gold miner, who has passed through some of the greatest gold rushes in western America, including the stampede to Nevada, Is the lucky discoverer of these claims. About a year ago Beam was observed panlng gold dust on sections of t he Goat river, but It was thought to be only another Instance of a prospector's madness. He appeared ln Creston on Thursday last with some line specimens of coarse gold and the news 'eaked out that he had located two claims Just above the canyon In the Goat river. A,rusb at once was made to the vicinity of the finds. Messrs. Stocks and Jackson and J. Lillooet Mines Victoria.—That the upper Lillooet country is rich in mineral deposits which will well repay attention on the part of prospectors, who have heretofore neglected the district, is the opinion* of the provincial mineralogist, W. Fleet Robertson, who has just returned to Victoria from this season's second field expedition which led into this section of the province. At the Pemberton Meadows, Mr Robertson found that all available areas have been taken up, and the prices of farming land have in the last few years advanced from $6 to $120 per acre in view of the probability of early railway construction from the Squamish, now reached by three full days' travelling over an indifferent trail. The revival of gold mining on Bridge river (and on Cadwallader creek, more particularly) is very encouraging. The only ore warranting attention under existing transportation conditions Is free milling gold, and very satisfactory results are being obtained by a number of small companies now at work on the ground. One of these is the one with which Wil'lam Sloan, ex-M.P. is prominently Identified, and which is working in very good looking ore, which seeing to be present in abundant quantity, It Is the expectation that an infinitely shorter route into the Bridge river country will shortly be obtained by the cutting of a trail from Bute Inlet, Into which Tatlayoco lake empties by way of the Homathko river. The trail would naturally follow the Homathko by preference along the line of the old Bute Inlet survey but there are a number of bad canyons on the river which will ln all probability occasion difficulties for the road builders. The feasibility of the trail has still to be determined by engineer's Investigations. This trail if built would bring the Bridge river district within forty or fifty miles of the coast, although the rvjad at present providing the only means of access to the country involves from 300 to 350 miles of travelling. On a previous trip this season Mr. Robertson had gone In from the 150- Mile House through the Chilcotin country to Tatalayoco Lake and Chil- co Lake, finding* the water too high to cross with a pack train, and in consequence being obliged to come out and return to the coast by way of the Caribou road. veloping a most valuable deposit of shale situate on Vancouver Island, near Nanaimo. The company have had the advice of Mr. Berg, of the Berg Machinery Manufacturing Co., of Toronto, who examined the property and who has had no hesitation in stating the deposit to -be of the best and a most valuable material, capable of turning out a first-class grade of brick, as good or even better than the sample. The company intend Installing a Berg plant immediately with a daily capacity of 40,000 bricks.| The company intend manufacturing tile for roofing, and should the market warrant it, all kinds of lavatory ware, the company's shale being particularly suitable for this. o .;. .j.♦-. .j, »j. *j. .j. »j« ,j» »j, »j* »j. »j« »j. >j. .j. »•» .j, »j. »!• .j. .j. *j* **. .j. »j. | An Immense Nap i When the Missouri Pacific railway directors gather for the first time in their new boardroom at 160 Broadway, within a few days, they will have ready for their deliberations a great wall map of the railways of the United States that is probably the largest roller map ever made. The map measures thirty-five feet across and is forty-five feet high when unrolled. In its mahogany frame which takes up nearly the whole of tht long side of the Gould boardroom, only a fourth of the depth of the map shows between the rollers at the top and bottom. The map was made by C. P. Gray, of 130 Fulton street, who constructed the first great map that Mr. Harri- man used to -study in working out his railroad problems in the Union Pacific boardroom. The new Guild map is considerably larger than that one. The Harriman was drawn to the scale of ten miles to the inch. The Gould map is on the scale of eight miles to the inch. The Harriman map shows the western part of the United States only, coming east no farther than Ohio. The Gould map shows the entire country excepting a part of New England, and in addition covers the continent from the level of the great Canadian trunk lines down to Panama. Every inch of steam railway in the interior covered is shown and Mr. Gray will keep filling in as more track is laid. The map has been a year in making, and eight men have worked nearly continuously upon it. It was made in sections about ten feet square. These were assembled a few weeks ago on the floor of the Twelfth regiment armory, New York, and sewed and pasted together so skillfully that it requires close examination to detect the juncture lines. Then it was rolled up on its rollers and transported downtown on a theatrical truck. A shade roller manufacturing company made the two rollers. The t« p one, which is simply a giant spring roller made of steel, is the largest thing of the kind ever constructed. The manufacturers declined to guarantee that it would work properly, and Mr. Gould had it made at his own risk. The roller Is five inties in diameter and thirty-seven feel, long.

Another Meeting Will be Held Oct. 4 —Plans Already in Hand For Raising Funds A woman's auxiliary in connection with the local hospital now being built has been organized as a result of the move made by the board of directors at the last meeting. In response to the call of the directors about twenty or twenty-five women met in the board of trade room Wednesday afternoon. Several members of the general association were present and explained the necessity for organization of a woman's auxiliary. After the members of the association had withdrawn, discussion followed among the ladies which resulted in the election of officers as follows: — President—Mrs. Eggert. Vice-president—Mrs. Tite. Secretary—Mrs. McCaffrey. Treasurer—Mrs. Stork. Various plans for the raising of money were sugegsted and it was resolved to give a series of popular entertainments. The following committees were appointed:— Dance committee, with Mrs. A. Manson, convener, to arrange for a ball to be given about October 14. Concert committee, consisting of the officers who are to interview the school principal and teachers to secure their co-operation and if possible arrange for a school concert about October 28. Tag day committee, with Mrs. Craig convener, to arrange for date or dates, etc., and report at the next meeting. There will probably be two more balls given under the auspices of the auxiliary—one about the New Year, if il does nol. conflict with other balls —and another later; also a bazaar and food fair about Easier, and, If possible, another concert or two. At present the auxiliary has not Imposed a membership fee, though li may be necessary In order to keep the work properly before the eyes nf the members. It Is desirable, however, that every woman shall take an Interest In this work. A meeting Is called for Tuesday next, October 4, In the board of trade rooms to hear reports and make further arrangements. o At the last meeting of the city council II was decided to grant the request of Police Magistrate Carss, who asked for copies of the plans of the city, copies of bylaws and a late edition of Crankshaw. This was done In view of the police magistrate stating that an apllcation to quash a conviction made,by him relative to a launch on the waterfront had been madp on the ground that he had no Jurisdiction in the ease as It was outside the city limits. FINANCES OF THE CITY (Continued from Page One) instance in case. Mr. Hays had himself asked him (the mayor) and Aid. Barrow that this should be treated privately. They were asked by Mr. Hays to go back and confer with the council on the matter. Aid. Mobley felt that the situation would soon be relieved. He felt like the previous speakers on the matter of the publicity given to the matter, but be felt that the Bank of of Montreal would probably find upon looking into the ful, statement to be made that the situation was such as to permit of the money being advanced. If it did not do so he felt there were other sources from which the money could be got. Aid. Hilditch said he felt tint the Board of Trade was open to criticism most strongly in trying to stampede the council in this matter He did not like to critize any one aa all were liable to err. He did not Trade. The press were to be criticised but not so strongly as thfe Board of Trade. Aid. Mclntyre said be concurred with what had been said but he felt that there was no need to be discouraged. The money would be * * * * ELECTRIC EIGHT SITE The special committee having in hand the question of a site for an electric plant, has recommended the purchase of lots 44 and 45, block 17, section one at a cost of $5,000. The site is on Third avenue, below the Market Place, east of the Westholme lumber yards, and convenient to the waterfront. Aid. Pattullo moved that tn.3 mayor and clerk execute the necessary conveyance. The purchase of this site will enable the council to instal a plant there In case the Seal Cove location Is not available as has been reported. need to feel uneasy in the matter as far as the bank was concerned. The city was well able to handle its finances independent of any taxes from the G. T. P. Aid. Hilditch thought it would be advisable if the press would not give publicity to this situation that had arisen. His Worship said Mr. Hays had been the first one to suggest that there should not be any publicity given to the matter. Mr. Hays himself had been the first one to give publicity to this. A motion to stop work until the finance committee should report upon the financial situation was opposed by Aid. Hildltch, who said he believed that a report from the finance committee would be forthcoming in a few days that would result in work going right on. Aid. Lynch said that the stopping of work was probably the wisest course until the financial situation was cleared. The motion to go on no further with the calling of tenders in section one until the financial situation was adjusted was carried. o READY FOR TENDERS (Continued from Page One) forthcoming from other quarters if the bank concerned did not advance it. The credit of the city was good. Aid. Pattullo was pleased to see (he unanimity which prevailed at the council board. He felt that this was only a temproary set back. He would have liked this kept back if possible in the public Interest. His Worship said that the council had been subjected to criticism all along even though the members of the council had worked as hard as possible. The object was to belittle the council, but they had attacked the credit of the city. No one would regret this more than the G.T.P. Aid. Mobley said he felt the Bank of Montreal would not turn the city down for any length of time. The delay was severely felt. He knew that they could get the money ln other quarters. Aid. Lynch thought there was no ployed by the contractors on the work is to be $3 a day and for any portion of a day 37% cents a hour. The men are to be prohibited from being worked more than eight hours a day. Sunday labor Is to be prohibited. Pay days shall be fortnightly. Aid. Pattullo* wanted to know If this fortnightly pay day might not work a hardship on the small contractor. Aid. Lynch said that be thought It would be a safeguard to the city where a small bond was called for. He also suggested that a pay roll should be produced before the payment was made on the estimated work. This was agreed to and was to be Incorporated ln the contract. The McMordie Contract His Worship explained that he bad seen Mr. McMordie In the matter of the trouble with his men. Mr. McMordie had explained that it. was optional with his employees whether they worked longer than eight hours a day. If they were agreeable to working overtime they were paid at the same rate. He had assured him (the mayor) that he would not be able to work longer than eight hours a day much longer as the days were getting shorter. Mr. McMordie also intimated that he would shortly Increase the staff he had at owrk, dividing it into several sections. His Worship said that he believed they would not hear much further complaint in this matter. Aid. Hildltch wanted to know If that was a new stand taken by Mr. McMordie or did he take that stand before he discharged the men. His Worship said he had not taken that up. Dumping Grounds The streets committee on the report of the engineer that the work would not be delayed any ln con sequence of raising the grades in certain parts recommended that the gradj be raised on Third avenue between Seventh and Ninth streets and also the raising of it between McBride and Fulton. This work, It was explained, could be done and would work no Inconvenience in letting the contracts at once. Aid. Mclntyre said he only moved the other night to proceed without wainting for any charge in grade because he did not want to see the work held up. He agreed with the city engineer that it would be well to alter the grades in some measure and as it could be done without holding up the work he favored this move. The report was adopted. o Most of the eastern colleges will open next Monday for the fall and winter term. Mr. Robson, druggist, who has been employed at Orme's drug store, left last week for Montreal to take up third year work in medicine at McGill University. A car of western students for various colleges in the East left last week from Vancouver for Montreal.
