Ocean Falls Company will Ship in Carload Lots to Prince Rupert for Distribution Along Line of Railway-Dry Kilns will be Erected in this Place-Shipments will be Made in Large Quantities MEETING! The Ocean Falls mills are to make Prince Rupert their great distributing centre according to present indications. Mr. Burrows, the local manager of the company, is arranging for carrying on a tremendous trade out of here. In the meantime the yards of the company will be placed near the corner of McBride Street and First Avenue and from there distribution will be made. Later the company intends to erect its own wharves at a site secured near Morse Creek. There will be dry kilns erected here and distribution will be made from here to all the points along the line of the G. T. P. Arrangements have been made for handling the output of the mills over the G. T. P., the company giving means for transporting from tho mills to Prince Rupert by means of barges, the lumber loaded on car. It will then be landed and shipped without further handling direct to the markets of the Interior. It is the intention of the Lester David Company to have an emporium here for all kinds of building sup plies, including cement, when all is in running order. The company has immense mills at Ocean Falls and the evident intention is to make Prince Rupert the centre for the greatest part of the business that is to follow from the sale of lumber. These mills will become directly tributary to this city and will become one of the important factors in the development of the place. CAMPS IDLE Construction Along Line of Canadian Northern Is nt a Standstill Kamloops, April 10.—The camps along the line of construction of the C. N. R. are idle in this vicinity, but here and there small gangs of men are at work. At Lytton a meeting was held today by the strikers and one I. W. W. leader said he believed too much haste had been shown in calling the strike. He thought that the grievance should first have been submitted to the contractors, who, he believed, would have met Hie men half way. COLONIZING WORK STEEL WORK OX BRIDGE London Representative of Grand Trunk Refers to What Company is Doing. On His Return to Old Land He Speaks of the Development of the West Fred C. Salter, the European traffic manager of the Grand Trunk Railway system, who lias lately returned to London from .Montreal, goes back with Ihe usual expression of surprise as to the growth of the Dominion. Mr. Clark said: "During my recent visit 1 did not. go west of Ontario but 1 found changes in the aspects of the cities and towns 1 visited; old buildings demolished; new and handsome larger one created, or in course of erection; an amazing increase in traffic, especially in automobiles, and invariable optimism. During this visit I have had the opportunity of meeting many persons who went out to Canada through agencies of the Grand Trunk System and who are located near one or other of Its stations; 1 am glad to say that in every single instance I found them more than satisfied with their present position, In several cases owning homes and freehold lands, which under no conceivable oiroumstnnc ■• would they have acquired In the old country." in reply to questions, Mr, Salter expressed the opinion thai the Immediate hindrance to still more rapid di velopmenl was the lack of sufficient transportation facilities to the markel of surplus farm products. Much of the damaged grain of the in ll harvest, unsaleable where It. was grown, would have fetched over 10 cents a bushel as food for cattle, could It have been rapidly and cheaply transported. Here Mr. Salter dwelt upon the great relief which the completion of the Grand Trunk route from the west via Cochrane to the company's existing network of lines through Ontario to the coast would afford. He also expressed the firm belief that not only by the Atlantic route, but also across the Rockies to the Pacific coast, much oi the products of the western provinces would eventually find its way, and thence to the expanding markets of the Orient from Prince Rupert, the shortest sea route. "I also heard nothing but praise for our new line so far as It is complete," lie said. "The roadbed and Actual Construction Work Starts on (i. T. I". Bridge Near Hazeltbn— Everything is Now Ready The first of next week the actual j construction of the steel part of the j Skeena bridge will commence, says , the Omineca Herald of last Friday. | Ira Mann, one of the best steel men. will be in charge. He has a large j gang al work now, and for several i days past, unloading the steel and | getting ready, and once they start throwing the steel over the river j they will make things hum. No. 4 pier is now nearly complet- ; ed. It was above high water mark on Sunday and thus past all danger. The piers and all concrete work will ■ be completed before the first of May. although tile steel workers can got 1 started any time. It has been estimated by some of I the officials that the steel work on this bridge would be ready for the rails by the middle of May. Almost anything is now possible. All the contractors have been making new ! records. The steel will likely be into New Hazelton early in July.

Mr. Wright says that doubtless further finds of anthracite would be made near the headwaters of the Naas. He | picked up conglomerate and noted that the formations on the Naas were similar to those whore coalfields have been located on the Skeena River side. Mr. Wright says that undoubtedly the best route to the Groundhog coalfields is by way of Stewart, and when the pack trail which is to be constructed by the government is completed the route will be a comparatively easy one, the distance being about 100 miles, or a little over, from Stewart.

DRYDOCK Contract is Let to Lester, David Company Represented by Mr. Burrows of this City for Immense Supply of Lumber for the Undertaking-Contractor Here to Start Work at Hays Creek. F. D. Dow, representing the company that has the contract for the putting in the wharves for the gigantic floating dock and works for the G. T. P. at Hays Creek has arrived in the city and is already al work preparatory to the construction of the undertaking bore. The work is to begin at once and Mr. Dow will make arrangements for putting his plant and his staff at work. There will be over 6,000 piles specially treated that will he put in the wharves to be built. These will arrive shortly. In addition to this there has been placed an order for nearly 4,000,000 feet of lumber and timbers. This order has been placed with Mr. Burrows, representing the Lester David Company, and delivery will begin almost immediately. Within a very few weeks the whole of the lumber will be on tho spot. The intention is to have the work rushed to completion so that a landing place for ail the supplies necessary for the further works to be erected in connection with the dry- dock and iho machinery buildings may be available. This will over come the necessity for hauling long distances from the existing wharves. From now on it would appear as if the G. T. P. waterfront in the vicinity of Hays Creek is to be tlie scene of the greatest activity. Not only is the drydock itself and the immense workshops to be put under construction hut there is a vast amount of rock to be removed on the waterfront. Notice has been given to those occupyin quarters on the waterfront where the work is to be done that they must vacate at once and allow the rock blasting to proceed. Within a few days the blasting will be under way there. The wharves that are to be constructed now for the dockyards will be more extensive than the present wharves used by the G. T. P., which shows that there is nothing small about the plans that tho company have in view with respect to the works. The contracting firm for the wharves that are now to be erected at Hays Creek is the same one as did the work for the company at Victoria and at Vancouver.

Prince Rupert Is nearing the time when the G. T. P. must be completed. With the approach of that time there is every indication that there is to be a decided activity. The assurance that Investors have had as to the future of this place has been one of the hindrances to a movement in real estate so far. There is little or no property offering in the business sections of the city because there is no owner who does not feel perfectly satisfied with his holdings and realizes that the holding on to the lots will in the very near future bring rich returns. The G. T. P. is beginning in earnest with its plans for the development of the city as a terminal point. Undertakings of the most gigantic character are to be commenced now. These include the drydock, the terminals and the hotel, all of which mean much to this city. To keep pace with the requirements of the place there will need to be a quickening of the pace at which civic work is carried on if the city is to be In even an approximate way ready for the population that must quickly follow the era of development of the railway company. There is no time to> lose if the place is to be ready. Too much time has already been squandered and faster time must of necessity have to be made in the coming seasons if the city is to be ready for a big influx of population.

The first session of Ihe Twelfth Parliament of Canada, and the first under the leadership of Mr. Borden, has come to a close. Notwithstanding the fact that parliamenl met within a tew weeks after the present administration tool; office the session lias been fruitful in significant legislation, and would have been more so bul for the action of ih - Senate. Three of the most im- portant measures Introduced were there Grain Act, with the provision for establishing government elevators at terminal points, the act establishing the tariff commission, and tne measure extending the limits and determining Ihe boundaries of the provinces of Manitoba, Ontario and Quebec. All these measures involved some difficulties, says the News- Advertiser. The Grain Act is designed to amend and improve a great mass of previous legislation, and to remedy many existing grievances. It has never been possible to legislate on these matters to the satisfaction of the various interests, and it is hardly to be supposed that this bill will suit everybody. But Mr. Foster has steered the measure through Parliament with consuniate skill and great patience, considering carefully all suggestions and accepting such as seemed valuable and feasible. The terminal elevator scheme is connected with the Grain Act as a matter of policy, but it has a wider bearing as part of the national transportation programme. Tlie tariff commission is the fulfillment of a promise made in opposition by a party and a leader whose platform were meant to be taken seriously. It appears that the government has not vol been able to carry out the intention. Mr. Borden undertook to make the commissioners as far as possible independent of government or party control. The Tariff Commission Bill as introduced and as passed by the ouse, provided that the commissioners would hold office for a fixed term, This provision was amended by the Senate, under the guidance of Sir Richard Cartwright, so that the commissioners might be dismissed by the government at. any time. Thus the government had thrust upon it an authority that was not desired, and the commissioners were deprived of one safeguard to their independence. Other changes made in the Senate and not accepted by the House seem to have caused the bill to be dropped. The late government allowed years to pass without settling the boundaries of Manitoba and Ontario. It was a question of some delicacy. Both provinces desired access to Hudson Bay, and there was also thrust into the question a claim for special separate school dispensation for the added portion of Manitoba. All the resources of political strategy were employed to embarrass the government over this matter. But Mr, Dorflon refused to be embarrassed. He lias simply followed the course that he advocated in respect to Saskatchewan and Alberta, and has left Manitoba to settle her own school question. New Manitoba will have the same school system as old Manitoba, while Ontario and Quebec win project their school law into the added territory. Sir Wilfrid settled the Manitoba school question one way and that of the other prairie provinces another. Bul that regime lias disappeared, and with it the diversity of method. Besides these measures we had legislation Introducing a national li ultural policy and a national highway policy. These have I di itroyed bj the Senate, but the real .... Imps, be reached in er way through the Supply Tin uavy question has been cleared up !(■ the eXtl lit thai till improv Ident and usele ; r >i r n mi e lati minis] ry is eancelli d, and the government is taking up with tho Imperial authorities the discussion of measures by which Canada may make some genuine and effective contribution to imperial defence. The long standing grievance of shall reach out over the whole army of departmental officers throughout the country, is an undertaking of great interest and value. At present a commission is collecting information and making inquiries Into tin- state of the departments, so that the required legislation may be introduced next session. Tho Supply Bill is one of the legislative acts which should be mentioned in this connection. It con- tains provisions for natural harbors and docks, and may be read with the amendment of the statute, whereby tho size and maximum cost of subsidized drydocks arc greatly increased. The militia estimates contemplate a large increase In the force of men under training. There will be better protection for the fisheries. The rural mail delivery system is extended. Canada is to come out. to the front street at London, and will have official headquarters at least equal to those designed by Australia. Steps have been taken to bring Canada into closer commercial relations with the British West India Islands. Construction work on the Canadian Transcontinental has been rescued from the hands of a commission which has been found extravagant, improvident and ineffective. There is a chance now that this work, on which the country has expended nearly two hundred millions, will be brought to a completion within a reasonable time. Meanwhile the Dominion has supplemented the activities of this province by arrangements whereby two trunk lines shall be pushed on to the chief Pacific port of Canada. We may fairly say that this has been a remarkably productive session, and would have been so considered even if the government had been allowed many months to prepare for the meeting of Parliament. Prince Edward Island has been set tled by a generous additional allowance, and the undertaking to bring the island railway into close relations with mainland systems by a ear ferry. Several questions at issue between British Cplumbia and the Dominion, which have Impeded the growth of this province have been adjuster and arrangements have been made whereby the other disputes and differences will shortly ! bo settled.

PRINCE RUPERT JOURNAL INDIAN TROUBLES Residents of Newtown Explain Causes of their Difficulties. the Effort, It Is Alleged, Is Made to Stir Up Strife Among the Natives Located There The following letter from the Indian village at Newton gives some facts concerning the reported trouble in that part of the district: Newton, Kitselas, B, C. ' To the Editor of The Journal. Dear Sir—As there are several rumors of friction existing among the Indians at Newton being reported along the river perhaps a few facts will help to clear the air. We had our Indian agent, Mr. Lor- ing from Hazelton on his regular visit to our reserve last fall. He appointed "a committee and constables to regulate matters regarding the preserving of morals and proper conduct of the village." Under hiB direction the committee did some good work and got several things straightened up on the reserve. But, alas, Mr. Loring had not appointed the "coronation chief," .Wedildahld, on the committee. This did not suit him; as you Prince Rupert People say, he wanted to have the whole thing in his mitt. But by the good sense of our agent he was not in it at all. This winter there was a revived Interest in church work under the ministry of our missionary and teacher, Mr. Edgar. Wedildahld saw his chance and decided to be /good. Then he organized a band of workers of his own and make himself president so could be a big man again. This proved to be more than he could carry through and he dropped it. Then he formed a private council in antagonism to the committee appointed by the Indian agent. He could not get this scheme to work very well either, so he decided to try the Salvation Army. About seven years ago the Salvation Army started work on the reserve. They promised to do big things for the tribe but as there is not a large number of us we decided to stay with the Methodist Church. Adjutant Gosnell visited us at that time and in a special meeting of all the village people the situation was discussed. As he saw the people did not want to be divided he promised them that the Salvation Army would not proceed, nor send any officer to this reserve. A year ago one of the Es- sington men came up to stay here and started Salvation Army meetings in his house. This has been going en quietly and no objection was raised. Now Wedildahld joins this man and starts an agitation for a Salvation Army barracks in spite of the old agreement. He takes this as the best way of opposing the Indian agent. At this time there were serious trouble brewing between the Kitsum- kaltim and the Newton people owing to accusations of witchcraft being made b.' this Salvation Army man against the chief of the former tribe. Indian Agent Perry had Chief Owen send up two constables to look into the matter. They called a meeting of i lie people here and in their presence this man confessed that lie had told lies about tlie Kitsunikaliun chief. The people, angry al Buch a matter, asked him not to )ireach again on tlie strccl. Provincial Constable Ilotklnson advised him not to do so, ai least 'ill everything bi - tween him and the 'Kallum people was pal right, lie Bald he would follow the constable's word. All seemed satisfied that wore thankful lo the provincial constables for the way they had Bettled the trouble. Enter Wedildahld again. Dominion Constable Phillipson, on his way up river, was accosted and told by this worthy thai all the people wauled the Salvation Army—only the chairman of committee was against il and had ordered them nol to march. "By all means, march if you wanl to," said Mr. Phillipson; "none can hinder you." This suits Wedildahld Al. Provincial constables couni tor nothing. He can get what be wants for the asking, so he claims, and now he Is riding bis high horse but Ihe judgment day is coming by and by. This statement should help to clear the air of the rumor that we are fighting here about religion. Such Is not the case. It Is the moral conduct of the people we are interested In. (Signed by) COMMITTEE OF NEWTON. PORT OF LONDON In Addition to Building Another Deep Water Dock Authorities Will Construct Rig Jetty at Tibui-y Concurrently with their decision to build an additional deep water dock, of which the King has graciously consented to cut the first sod in July, the Port of London Authority is taking steps to extend in other directions the facilities offered to shipping. One of the features of modern trade In London is the Increasing number of vessels which arrive from oversea with cargo destined for part discharge at particular ports. A large proportion of such ships does not need the full benefit of enclosed docks, with their spacious transit sheds and equipment. The Port Authority, having regard to the growing demand by part cargo vessels for the means of unloading at riverside berths in the Thames, and being satisfied that the provision of some such accommodation, would be at once a convenience to trade and a method of, to some extent, relieving the congestion which the docks frequently experience, has resolved, after careful investigation of the subject, to construct a riverside petty at Tilbury. The site which has been chosen forms a part of the Authority's riverside land, which is convenient for the special purpose, inasmuch as a large portion of the part cargo vessels now coming to London use the Tilbury dock, and al1 the existing railway and other facilities at the dock wi'l be available for vessels using the jetty. The size and design of the new jetty are to be finally determined after consultation with the shipowners and the trades who are likely to use, and steps to ascertain their views are now in progress. It is believed (hat this provision for riverside discharge, while enabling the dock accommodation to be more re- I muneratively occupied by vessels : landing full cargoes, may in some ; measure attract business which at I present goes to continental ports. The return showing the net register tonnage of the vessels entering and leaving the port of London and prying tonnage dues during the first ten months of the Port Authority's financial year indicate that up to January 31 last the tonnage had increased from 24,798,319 in the corresponding period of 1910-1911 to 25,081,496, or an advance of 283,- 177 tons. Tonnage dues have correspondingly increased. It may be noted that this improvement has taken place despite the fact that during the months of July and August last the port was detrimentally affected by the labor troubles in connection with the transport trade of the county. But for these labor disputes the figures would have been much more favorable. IN LIQUIDATION NEW DIAMOND FIELD Average Output Is $100,000 n Month hut the Diggings Are Already Well Occupied Owing to the exaggerated reports of the new alluvial diamond fields in the Blociuhof-Mootfontein district, Transvaal, Africa, U. S. Consul Edwin N. GunsauluB of Johannesburg, has reported on the finds (Daily Consular and Trade Reports, Fell. ::, 1912). 'the original field was near Bloemhof, a small village on the Vaal River, about 200 miles south of Johannesburg, The surface gives no indication of the diamonds, i lie gravel everywhere being hidden by a cloak of soil, usually, however, only six inches to one foot thick. The diamond bearing gravels at. first. sight resemble a lied of dirty potatoes, will] a few big boulders. Tin' mo : i :.:■• eti i i i Ic torn are handed Ironstone pebbles; known as the Bloemhof "bantams." Mobi of the diamonds are small, and in the -ix m'onths ended September 30, 1911, the output was 10,576 carats, of $2815,000 value. The original area ai Moolfontoln, seventeen miles from Bloemhof, was thrown open September LI. 1911, and it is estimated that there are at. least 10,000 white diggers at work, and as many Kaffirs. Willi an output of $100,000 per month, the average yield per digger would be about $8. Consequently, despite the great area of the diggings, probably over 11,000 acres, it seems foolish lo go expecting lo make a fortune. Sanitary conditions are bad. and it seems probable that it will be highly dangerous for unacclimn- tlzed whites during Ihe hot, season.

SPORTS CHAMPIONS BORN Frank Gotch, world's champion wrestler, holds the opinion that champions in any branch of sport are born and not made. The Iowan admits there are exceptions to this rule, but even in such cases he asserts the champions are born with the latent ability which later marks them kings in their respective lines of endeavor. The wrestling champion cites himself as an example. He says he could wrestle almost as soon as he- was able to walk. When he was In his teens he threw boys and men much heavier and stronger. Gotch admits he does most of his wrestling by instinct, while the holds he knows he has learned from close observation of contests between star performers. Although the cnampion is the originator of tlie toe hold, he does not know how he discovered it. The champion always claims the grip is not a toe hold but more of a foot- lock. He has won most of his contests by working on his opponents' legs, but says it was a mere accident that lie discovered the hold which has been the downfall of so many challengers.

"Wolgast picked Rivers as his next California opponent because he knew that my boy was the greatest lightweight drawing card on the Coast," said Manager Joe Levy. "If nothing else, Ad's actions saved us from challenging him. Under the circumstances Wolgast would scarcely expect us to chase him after he has publicly put his tag on Joe, so we simply rest our case by saying that we are ready for Wolgast." Unquestionably the quiet little .Mexican boy is the one sensatiloi in Const boxing circles, and with him matched against the champion on a holiday date nothing short of an armed guard thrown about the old Vernon arena would save the his- j toric building from being wrecked by j the mob which would storm the en- ■ trances. When Rivers beat Jack White to j the floor two weeks ago he finished the twentieth fight of his career and walked out of the fight with five or six hundred men and boys following at his heels, the idol of the hour. The Rivers vs. YVolgnsi arguments fill the air and Levy's statement has brought a sigh of relief from those who feared that the careful manager might keep his protege clear of the champion for another year. "We might as well have it over with," added Levy. "1 have offers of stage work thai would net us a fortune, to say nothing of prospective matches with Attell, .Mandot, Mehegan and Weils, bul it is Wolgast that the pub'Ic wants, so we will close the match immediately if Wolgast will do his part. We have pul the mailer squarely up to Mr. McCarey. We will rest a couple of days until the champion is heard from." BIRDS CONTAIN GOLD In Dominion Museum, Ottawa, Are Birds Whose Gizzards Have Yielded Precious Stones and Gold In the Dominion Museum at Ottawa are specimens of precious stones and magnets which were found in the gizzards of British Columbia birds. Hunters all over the world are familiar with the fact that some birds, especially migrants, pick up occasionally on their travels valuables of many kinds. Ducks and geese especially are prone to gather gold nuggets and carry them out of the north to spread them before the hunters who shoot them. The surface gold bearing sands the world over are forever yielding a small toll to birds. Long before gold was found in Alaska and the Klondike the Pacific Coast gunners knew that there was placer gold in tlie north, because every year geese and ducks were killed in whose crops were found nuggets of gold. Even domestic birds In California to this day reveal (lie presence of gold in their scratching beds, as was done by geese on a farm near Santa Barbara, Cal. A number of small nuggets were found In the crops of slaughtered birds, and investigation showed there was a little gold in the yard where the birds had been kept. Occasionally there is a gem discovered In the crop of a wild bird. Thus the wild geese which fed on the mussels of the .Mississippi, Wabash, St. Francis, Tennessee and other pearly streams ate pearls with their mussels, but the hunters never found a valuable pearl dn their crops, the slugs—baroques—however, were common enough to find place in hunter talk in the Missis- LCNG HEMORRHAGES New Serum Discovered Which Stops the Trouble Almost instantaneously A remarkable medical discovery that is expected to rapidly cul down the :"i i tallty from pulmonary 1 bet ■:' li n il other ailments Hint . a i eti ■ kci Bstve hemorrhages lias been made by physicians at Belle vue Hospital, After months of experimental work thej have produced a serum which they declare will prevent or almost Immediately Btop hemorrhages, Tl - ertim is from the blood of horses, from which the read and white corpuscles have been removed, leaving a colorless fluid.
