Senator Dandurand\nintroduced the delegates, who were\naccompanied by Judge Choquette, Judge\nWeir and Judge Leet. The Local\nCouncil made an appeal for a provincial\nreformative institution for women entirely distinct from the jail.\nThe Premier recognized the need,\nasked the Local Council of Women\nto submit to him a summary of the\ninformation at its command, and promised to consider the matter with his\ncolleagues. At the same time, he\npointed out the advisability of applying first to the Dominion Government\nfor the desired amendments to the\nCriminal Code which -vould enable\njudges and magistrates to commit\ncorrigible offenders over 16 years of age\nto reformative institutions upon indeterminate sentences.\nHaving obtained the authorization\nof the National Council of Women of\nCanada, a delegation from the Montreal Local Council waited upon the\nMinister of Justice at Ottawa, and laid\nbefore him their report and recommendations. The Hon. Mr. Aylesworth expressed himself as in full sympathy with\nthe movement and promised his support\nin securing such changes in the Criminal\nCode at an early date.\nAs a result of this interview Sir\nLomer Gouin has offered to_meet\nrepresentatives of the Local Council of\nWomen again before the next session\nof the Provincial Legislature in order\nthat the matter may be further discussed.\n.Exchanges Hobbles for Anklets\nOf the making of strange fashions\nt here is no end. The hobble skirt seemed\nto be the limit but now the fashionable\nfolk of London are taking up the anklet\nas a means of personal adornment.\nVery handsome anklets are now offered\nfor sale at the very swagger shops. The\nanklet idea is the outcome of the present\nfashion of very short dresses, high-\nheeled patent leather shoes, and brilliantly-colored stockings, which in itself\nis bad enough without the addition of a\nbangle to further attract attention.\nThe \"fashion,\" it goes without saying,\ncomes from Paris, where it has been\ntaken up to an extent, but only by those\ninclined to eccentricity in dress.\nBut, after all, the wearing of anklets\nwould be merely the revival of an old\nfashion. Three generations ago it was\nnot unusual to see a bangle around the\nankle, and a famous wearer of this\nornament was the wife of the third\nDuke of Cleveland, the old Duchess\nwho died in 1883 at the age of -ninoty-\n!one. She had very small feet, and to\nthe end of her days was the wearer of a\ndainty gold anklet.\nA $60,000 Swimming Pool\nA New York correspondent informs\nus that Miss Helen M. Gould is to have\na private swimming pool built for her\nat her country home, Lyndhuret, at\na cost of about $60,000. The building will be 140 feet long and 60 feet\nwide, the actual pool being 70 feet long\nand 35 feet wide. The pool will be\nlined with mosaic work, and the roof\nwill be of glass. Handsomely appointed\nlounging rooms, shower baths and\ndressing rooms will make the bath the\nfinest of its kind in the United States.\nAbout the Baby's Teeth\nAn acute illness will delay teething,\nbut the chief cause of late dentition is\nrickets. The teeth should appear as\nfollows:\nAbout the seventh month the two\nmiddle teeth in the lower jaw. A few\nweeks later the two middle teeth in\nthe upper jaw, these four being the\ncentral incisors.\nAt eight months the lateral incisors,\ntop and bottom.\nAt twelve months the four back\nteeth or molars.\nAt sixteen months the four eye teeth.\nAt twenty-four months the other four\nmolars.\nA jaconet bib should be worn by the\nchild, as the constant \"dribbling\" that\noccurs is liable to set up a chill. If an\nivory ring is given to the infant to\nbite, the ring must be cleansed with\nboiling water every day. The child's\nfingers, which so frequently go to the\nmouth during teething, should be often\nwashed during the day.\nFor the Housewife\nTo scale fish easily dip them in boiling\nwater.\nPorcelain or earthenware that has\nbecome dingy or stained is greatly improved by rubbing or scouring with\nsalt dusted upon a cloth.\nMuch of the heavy cake and bread\nis the result of the oven doors being\nbanged in closing. They should be\nclosed as gently as possible.\nTo avoid unpleasant odors that arise\nfrom cooking cabbage, cover it with\nslices of bread about half an inch thick\nduring the boiling process.\nBoiling liquids, jellies, or fruits may\nbe turned into glass without breaking\nthe vessel if you press the bowl of a\nspoon up the bottom while filling.\nMilitary brushes, genuine Russian\nbristles, ebony backs.

P. reserve might\nlend itself to humorous treatment, it must not be forgotten that the subject is a\nserious one, and one that has to be faced at some time. The seriousness to the\nshack dwellers of having possibly to vacate their dwellings at short notice is self-\nevident. The Council, as humane men may be trusted to extend to them all the\nconsideration that the circumstances of the case permit.\nIf the work of clearirig the reserve is postponed till spring, arrangements should\nbe made for the work of demolition to begin before the warm weather is with us.\nThe menace to health, is one that neither the residents of the reserve or the citizens\nat large should have to tolerate. \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\nHumane promptings will probably make the community willing to allow the\nwork to be deferred till spring, but the increasing risk which summer will bring\nmakes it imperative that the shacks be destroyed before the warm weather is far\nadvanced.\nIn the meantime, the Council should not delay taking steps to exterminate\nthe rats, before they constitute a plague. The reproductive powers of rodents\nare notorious. Any delay increases the magnitude of the work to be accomplished\nin exterminating them.\nThe destructive qualities of rats are well known, and it is now a well established\nfact that, like the housefly, the mosquito, and the lowly germ, the rat is an active\ncarrier of disease. The outbreaks of bubonic plague in seaports are definitely\ntraceable to the agency of the fleas which infest the bodies of rats.\nGreatly as we fear the havoc and injury tb our progress which an outbreak\nof-fire might cause in our young city, it is a menace not to be compared to the\nmenace of disease. By toil and sacrifice buildings can be replaced, but not the\nstrong men, the gentle women and tender children who may be removed by the\nswift pitilessness of a plague.\nThere is of course no reason at present for anyone to feel unnecessarily alarmed.\nRats are not any more dangerous now than before the discovery that they are\ndisease carriers; neither are cats of whom eighty-five per cent in a recent test by\nmedical experts were found to be suffering from consumption.\nBut in the face of the clear knowledge that rats are now recognized as agents\nof disease the Health authorities should not delay in the work of exterminating\nthe rats.\nCondensed Advertisements.\nARE YOU IN NEED OF HELP?

S. GRAY & SON, Sixth Street\nANOTHER VIEW OF ECONOMICS AND THE BAR\n(Lettert. in this column do not MOMMrUy express the opinion of thin paper Ion the subject\nunder discussion.)\nSAMPLE OF SCOTT ACT \"ARGUMENTS\"\nT'1-' follovvisiK is published by the Press Com-\n(tee of the opponents of the Scott Act, ansl is\ntlis' s'\\prs>aaissn of the vlewB of this pnrser.)\nhe latest article published by the.'\n(herents of the Scott Act begins as\nlows: \"The inference from the present\ntalion over the Scott Act issue seems\nbe that those who favor it are either\nots or fools, while those who oppose\nare the broad-minded and wise.\"\nhaps an analysis of the article in ques-\nn will show that the writer labeled\nparty better than he would care\ndo.\nIn the lirst place, he says tha\ufffd\ufffd \"side\nside with the advertising of the\nnsite for sale went out the far-flung\n1 that it was to be preserved as a\nleal temperance town.\" When was\nis furllung news ever circulated and\nso, by whose authority? Everyone\nm that this city on incorporation\n>uld come under the laws governing\nnifipulitics throughout the province,\nthis respect as well as others, and if\ni'oiu- undertook to sell lots in the\nnsite by clainimg any different\nwas simply obtaining money under\n<6 pretences.\nThe writer claims that captains of\nustry are giving money to the Y. M.\nA. and claims this is an argument\nfavor of prohibition. Does he re-\nraber the fact that John Wanamaker\nbe great Christian merciiant\" gave\nndredi of thousands to the Sunday\n100I1 and that an investigation under-\n\ufffd\ufffd\ufffden by the Federation of Labor\nloswl thc fact that his mammoth\nipwtmrat store was the most fertile\nniitlng ground for the tenderloin\ntrieta It was almost impossible\nthe girls employed by him to remain\non thc meagre wages paid them\n\"in 18.00 to $2.50 per week). The\nmum sums given to the Sunday\nhools simply meant that mothers\nroughout the country were willing\ntrust their daughters to the tender\nTrim of this modern slave trader. As\nmatter of fact this money is given\nmply for advertising purposes.\nA\ufffd\ufffd to the fact that prohibition has\nKir rapid strides in the United States\n\"imply emphasizes the fact, long\nflown to Europe, that the United\nlies in an hysterical nation. Moronism, Dowieism, Spiritualism, Chris-\nin Science, the Holy Rollers, and the\nost of other fads, they all have their\n'i hi-rents. When you notice the fact\nMt side by aide with the spread of\nriihihition the Inland Revenue returns\nK United States show that the\n\"iisumption of liquor is actually in-\nratting, it does not mean so very much\n\"II. If the drinking of liquor\n'i vice, the Americans have simply\nIntituled a secret vice for an open\nni'. and doctors agree that secret.\nI\ufffd\ufffdi nn- the most harmful.\nThis talk of a thousand dollars a day\nN'sK spent in the bars of the city\n\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdMaid of the stores is all rot. It takes\nlot of men to Bpend aix thousand\nHiirs a week, and this simply amounts\nan accusation that the majority\nlorul\nkll.T\nbl tha\nwage-earners of the city are not\n*\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd to be trusted with the spending\n'\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd'\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd-\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdir own money, but that their\nPptmdltUN must be regulated by law.\nThe writer says the candy stores are\nnot doing as well as they did before\nlicenses were granted. This is certainly\ntoo bad but it is hard to say how it\ncan be remedied unless you pass a law-\ncompelling every wage-earner in the\ncity to spend a certain amount on candy\nevery pay day. And while you are\nabout it why not carry interference\nto its logical conclusion and set the\nlimit which a man can spend in any one\nstore. As a matter of fact the sale\nof any commodity is regulated by the\nlaw of supply and demand. Stop the\ndemand and the manufacture and the\nsale will at once cease. But to curtail\nthe supply while the demand remains\nthe same simply leads to adulteration\nin the commodity and an increase in\nprice.\nThis talk about the \"rumsellers\"\ntaking an extended tour through the\nolder lands, is so much cheap twaddle.\nDoes no one but a \"rumseller\" ever\ntake a trip to Europe, or take his family\nsouth for the winter. Do not thousands\nof successful business men do so every\nyear and is success in business a crime.\nWhy here in Prince Rupert men, not\nengaged in the liquor business have been\nknown to take their families soulh for\nthe winter, and no one ever thought of\ninsinuating that they had not the right\nto do so. As a matter of fact there are\nprobably fewer wealthy men among\nhotel keepers than any other business\nof a similar magnitude. Last summer\nthe papers gave an instance of a real\nestate man in Victoria who made\nninety-seven thousand dollars on a\nsingle deal. What a deep-dyed criminal\nthat man must have been. And while\nwe are on this question of money being\ntaken out of the town by the hotels,\nwould it not be well lo pass a law prohibiting the investment of money made\nin Prince Rupert real estate in rival\ntowns. Let us be consistent in all\nthings, and if we are to dictate to\none set of men how they shall spend\ntheir money make the rule of general\napplication.\nBut enough of this. This is a fair\nsample of the argument put up by\nthose who favor the enactment of\nprohibitory legislation in this city and\nelsewhere. A lot of sentimental rubbish\nrubbish coupled with a \"holier than\nthou\" attitude which gets on the nerves\nof the average citizen.\nTo the Editor of the Optimist:\nDear Sir,\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdThe letter in yesterday's\nOptimist entitled, \"Economics and the\nBar,\" presumably the licensed bar, one\nmight easily ignore if if it were not\nsigned by a respected citizen.\nMy good friend, Mr. H. F. McRae, is\na man of learning and ability, and has\ni the courage of his convictions, and I\n| can sympathize with him in his liulf-\nJ hearted advocacy of the Scott Act, for\ni he knows its limitations and its failings.\nI voted for that Act once myself, and\nj with my fellow citizens tried to enforce\ni its provisions. But the more we tried\nI the more we failed. It made two\n: diunkiirds to one it reformed. It created\ngreater evils than it attempted to\nsuppress. Perjury, spying, hypocrisy.\n'and clandestine drunkenness followed\nin jts wake. As one who has studied\nthis question for many years I have\ncome to the conclusion that people\nare becoming more sober through the\ncompulsion of business and social stress,\ni than through the operation of statutory\nprohibition.\nMr. McRae speaks in glowing terms\nof our prosperity before licenses were\nissued and asks \"Has not all our progress\nup to date taken place under a restricted\nliquor sale?\" I will call on his friend.\nDr. Spencer the Local Option champion,\nto answer this question. In his message\nto the people of Prince Rupert, published\na few days ago, Dr. S|>encer says: \"From\nthe beginning you have been cursed with\nblind pigs, resulting in crime, disgrace,\nand promoting immorality. Your red\nlight district and gambling dens could\nnot flourish without liquor. It is the\nbasic evil of all thc rest.\" Here are\ntwo Local Option men who hold different\nviews of the early history of Prince\nRupert.\nBut let us follow Mr. McRae: \"What\nman except an interested one\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdwill\ndare say that business has been better\nsince licenses were issued?\" Will any\nman\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdsave an interested one\ufffd\ufffd\ufffddare say\nthat business has been worse? But\nhere Mr. McRae suddenly leaves Prince\n| Rupert and is across the international\nboundary, for his next sentence reads:\n\"What money-loving nation in all the\nworld can, in that respect, be compared\nwith the United Slates? And yet in\nspite of that what nation has made\nsuch rapid strides in its fight against\nthe bar?\" Here he agrees with Dr.\nSpencer, who says in the letter already\nreferred to that: \"Sixty million Americans arc now living under Local Option\nlaw.\" As this is a large proportion of\nthe |K>pulation of thc United Stales,\nthey ought to be temperate as well as\ngood \"money-makers.\"\nLet us see how really temperate they\nare. 1 have before me a report of the\nUnited States Inland Revenue Department which would make very interesting\nreading for the honest but misinformed\nfriends of Local Option and thc Scolt\nAct. In 1899 when only six million\npeople were under prohibition laws the\nconsumption per capita in the United\nStates of malt (beer) and spirituous\nliquors was in the proportion of 15.8\nand 1.18 gallons. In 1909 when over\nforty millions were living in dry territory\nand the anti-Saloon I.eauge was at the\nheighth of its power, I find the figures\nincrease to 21.09 and 1.51 gals, respectively. This is certainly an enormous\nincrease in the consumption of beer.\nBut these are the facts.\nFor Mr. McRae's information and for\nany who are interested in the question\nof \"Economics and the Bar\" I may say\nthat this year's blue book of the Inland\nRevenue department kept at Ottawa is\nalso very interesting.\nHere I find that in spite of thc Local\nOption movement in the provinces of\nOntario and Quebec and the \"wonders\"\nthat Dr. Spencer claims for the Scott\nAct in the Maritime Provinces the\nconsumption per capita of spirituous\nliquors in Canada is greater than last\nyear. These are the figures: \"Spirits\n.815 gals., beer 5.276 gals., wine .097\ngals.\" I may here state the Local\nOption counties of California use eighteen\ntimes as much wine as the Canadians.\nOn the whole, you will observe that\nwhile the consumption of liquor has\nslightly increased over last year, yet\nwe by no means keep pace with our\nAmerican cousins. And yet Mr. McRae\nwill hold them up to us as models of\nsobriety and \"money-making!\" But\nt hese are t he facts and facts are stubborn\nthings. It is true that this country has\nnot been carried away by the Local\nOption \"fad\" as in the United States\nand let us hope if the wave does strike\nhere, it will not increase drinking to\nthe alarming extent it has in that\ncountry as the figures I have given\nonly too plainly show.\nLet us work in the cause of temperance\nalong sane and sensible lines, let us\nleach thc young that liquor in any form\nis of little or questionable use, and t hat\nit is a good thing to leave it alone. In\nthe meantime keep the traffic under\nrigid municipal control. This according\nto the greatest theologians, autesmm\nand philosophers of the day is the only\nsolution of the most difficult question\nwith which mankind has to deal.\nSincerely yours,\nA. A.

A\nnumber of appeals were made by the\nopponents of the law, but the decisions\nobtnined in almost every case were in\nfavor of thc Act.\nThe Canada Temperance Act has\nproduced a wonderful change in many\ntowns and villages throughout the\nProvince. When formerly liquor was\n' openly sold drunkenness and disorder\nprevailed on the occasion of all public\ngatherings; now, wherever the Canada\n, Temperance Act is enforced, then- is\n: quietness and order. I believe the\nAct to be educative and a great help\nin preparing the way for prohibition.\nMerchants should vote for il because\nthe money spent for drink would be\nused to purchase clothing and provisions.\nFather* should vote for il because a\ngreal tcmptalion would be removed\nfrom their sons.

Blackstock, the foreman for that\nend of the line from Kitsumkalum to\nStewart, is back in town with the news\nthat heavy snows cut off all further\nwork for this season. He says that on\nOctober 28th they were about to tackle\nthe summit dividing Maple Bay from\nGoose Bay when there was a snowfall of\neighteen inches.\nThe altitude of the summit is given at\ntwo thousand feet and as after this\nfirst snow there was practically a continuous snowfall the work of construction had to be abandoned. This left a\ngap of a mile and a half in the line from\nStewart to Goose Bay which in the spring\ncan be finished in a very short time.\nThe lino, however, was constructed\nfar beyond Goose Bay and reaches the\nhead of Alice Ar. \\ so Mr. Blackstock\nthinks that for this season the limit\nwas done in line construction. He has\nnot yet heard what progress was made\nfrom the Kitsumkalum end, but is\nconfident that it will take but a short\ntime next spring to make the connection and give Stewart direct communication with the outside world.\nDECISION STILL DISTANT\nIn Hays Port Arbitration Case G.

Here is a sample:\nCounsel: \"Is there any pile timber\non the land there?\"\nWitness: \"There may or there may\nnot be.\"\nCounsel: \"I ask you is there?\"\nWitness: \"There may or there may\nnot be.\"\nCounsel: \"But is there any?\"\nWitness: \"There may or there may\nnot be.\"\nAnd it might easily have been so on\nad. inf. had counsel pressed the question\nIn the same way.\nYesterday Mr. Noble said when asked\nif he had held the Hays Port land as a\nspeculator that he wouldn't say.\n\"Life is a gamble anyway,\" he declared to the amusement of the court.\nNothing Heard of Escort\nThe railway tug Escort with her barge\nthe Georgia has not yet poked her\nnose into the harbor, but there are no\nmisgivings as to her fate as hse is one\nof the staunchest tugs on the coast.

A noble list of wealth\nproducers and Mr. Naden described\ntheir extent throughout the land and\nseas surrounding Prince Rupert, with\nconfidence. These resources are indisputably there, and Prince Rupert is\nsituated at the most central point in\nNorthern British Columbia for handling\nthem to advantage.\nWealth from the Farms\nFarm produce from the fat lands in\nthe areas watered by the Peace, Skeena,\nLiard and Fraser rivers with their\ntributaries will contribute to the prosperity of the city. Spring rains and\nsummer sunshine on the well tilled soil\nin the Lakelse, Kispiox and Bulkley\nvalleys will bring autumn harvests\ngolden alike for their growers and for\nthe trade of Prince Rupert.\nHarvest of the Sea\nTeeming seas within a few hours\n-nn of Prince Rupert harbor will pour\n;n to the lines of waiting fish care and\n-uliI storage plants all the finny wealth\nof-the deep. Why over in England today\nGrimsby with fewer sea resources by\nfar, has leaped from a population of\n16,000 to one of 130,000 on account of\nthe fish industry alone. Rupert will do\nmore thinks Alderman Naden.\nMines, Timber and Water\nPrecious store from the marvellously\nrich mining districts surrounding Prince\n1 Rupert will add richly to the growing\nwealth of the city; and the far ranging\n: timber tracts of the surrounding districts will immensely increase the pros-\nj perity of the business centre. Water-\n! power there is too, to develop, as pointed\n| out by Mr. Williams after Alderman\n| Naden's address, and Alderman Naden\nhas great faith in the superb scenic\n] wealth of Northern British Columbia\nto attract visitors from far and wide\nwho will in countless ways benefit\nPrince Rupert.\nWho Owns It Now\nA note of warning, however, Mr.\nNaden did strike. Who owns all this\nas yet undeveloped wealth? he asked, and\nin answer he showed that a large pre-\ncentage of it is being rapidly taken\npossession of by those who aim at\nholding it for speculative purposes. The\ntimber especially has been grabbed.\nWhere until a few years ago not 10 per\ncent of the timber was owned by speculators now nearly 80 per cent is so\nowned. It was so also to some extent\nwith agricultural land, and other resources, and Alderman Naden held that\nthe citizens and inhabitants of these\ndistricts which are among the richest\nin the empire should be awake to the\ndirection in which they were trending\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\nthe tendency of these valuable resources\nto come into the hands of the few.\nMight Defeat Itself\nReal estate dealing in the city itself\nhe pointed out, might by the continual\nraising of prices of lots, defeat its own\nend, the prosperity of the city, by\nmaking it increasingly difficult for the\nhumbler wealth producer to settle here.\nAn interesting discussion at the close\nof the address, led by the chairman, Mr.\nH. F. McRae, was taken part in by many\nof those present.\n#iiee\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffde#\n}\ufffd\ufffd.J.^Vr>\ufffd\ufffdN\/X^sl\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdv^\/s^\/sxvl\n** \ufffd\ufffdsH4attt\nTHE\nI\nSUCCESSFUL MAN |j\nevent n\nIs wise BEFORE the\nHe insures BEFORE the\nfire and takes out a policy\non his Ufa for the pro-\ntection of his wife and\nfamily and business in-\nterests BEFORE it is too\nlate.\nTHE\nUnsuccessful Man\nIs wise AFTER the event ||\nHe insures AFTER the (ire\nand puts off making provision for his wife and\nfamily and business interests until something\nhas happened which prevents him getting insurance.\nCall now and examine our\n: 'Life, Accident and Fire\nPolicies, and get our rates\nF.
