C,   FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 1910.\nPrice, Five Cents\nNO.  23.\nTHE  DISTRICT PACK\nSkeena  River  Has  Put  Up  a  Large\nQuantity Daring\nSeason.\nInspector Puts the Nnmber of Cases\nIn the Territory at About\n450,000\nJohn T. Williams, Dominion Fishery Inspector In this district, paid\na visit to the city this week on official business. According to his estimate of the fishing season In his district there will be about 450,000\ncases put up this year. His estimate\nshows that there has been quite an\nadvance in the amount put up on\nthe Skeena as compared with the\nearlier estimates of the fishing men.\nThere is still some fishing going\non this river so that it is impossible\nat the present to tell just what the\nfinal figures will be. Mr. Williams,\nhowever, puts it at about 200,000\ncases Instead of 150,000 as has been\nfigured upon in some quarters.\nThen, again, there is still fishing\ngoing on on the Naas. It is impossible, therefore, to tell accurately\nwhat that section of the district is\ngoing to do. He puts the pack there\nat 140,000 cases, possibly.\nMr. Lord, of Port Nelson, who was\nlikewise In the city this week, thinks\nthat the outlook for sohoes is not\nvery good. He had prepared for\nquite a run, but up to the time he\nleft they had not o une in quantity\nand he feared there would not be as\nmaney as expected. The pack would,\ntherefore be but an average one on\nthe Naas.\nIn Rivers Inlet the pack, accord\nIng to the inspector, will reach 35,-\n000 cases, and in the other scattered\nparts there will be probably about\n70,000 more put up. The returns\nfrom the fishing industry represent\nabout  S3,000,000.\n o\t\nBRITISH INVESTORS\nSteel Works are Reported to be in View\nin Southern Part of\nProvince.\nNorton   Griffiths   And   Party   Have\n.Made Important Purchases in\nBritish  Columbia\nPreliminary details for the establishment of steel works in British Columbia by British capitalists are now\nbeing worked out. The chief spirit\nbehind the enterprise which will represent an investment of between $4,-\n000,000 and $5,000,000, is Norton\nGriffiths,- M.P., of London, Eng. Mr.\nGriffiths and party, including the\nEarl of Dunmore, a wealthy Scottish\npeer, and Mr. Harry Brlttain, a well\nknown London journalist, recently\nvisited Vancouver. The visitors were\nthen guests of Premier McBride on\na trip to Fort George.\nMr. Griffiths Is one of the richest\nmen in England.\nTakes Option on Ore Land\nMr. Griffiths has taken a thirty-\nday option on a big deposit of iron\nwhich Is located within three miles\nof the main line of the Canadian\nPacific railway, and less than 200\nmiles from Vancouver. He expressed\nhimself as well pleased with the engineers' reports and agreed to cable\nto England for an expert to make an\nIndependent examination. There Is\nsaid to be an enormous tonnage\navailable. The ore can be trammed\ndown to the r.iilway tracks.\nWorks in  Vicinity of Mine\nIt Is understood that the proposed\nsteel works will be located In the vicinity of the mine in order to reduce\nmanufacturing costs to a minimum.\nMr. Griffiths has also under consideration the purchase of a large\narea of coal lands In the vicinity of\nJasper Park, east of Yellowhead Pajss\nand In proximity to the routes of\nthe Grand Trunk Pacific and Canadian Northern Railway*. The coal\nIs said to be Ideally adapted for coke-\nlng purposes. In the event of a deal\nbeing closed the coke product will\nbe shipped to the steel works. Railway facilities will be provided with\nthe completion of the Canadian\nNorthern, whose tracks will probably\nbe connected with those of the Canadian Pacific railway below Kamloops.\nThe coal lands will also be examined by a mining engineer In the employ of Mr. Griffiths.\nTRADE WITH JAPAN\nMikado's Government Gives Notice That\nCommercial Treaty\nEnds.\nGerman  Influence is Being Exerted\nin Direction of Securing Advantages in Orient\nJapan has formally given Great\nBritain one year's notice denouncing\nthe commercial treaty between the\ntwo countries negotiated ten years\nago and to which the Dominion subsequently became a party. The treaty\nwll lexpire In July of next year. The\nserving of formal notice Is an indication of the itnention of the Japanese\ngovernment to negotiate an entirely\nnew arrangement in harmony with\nthe spirit of a higher protective tariff, to go into operation a month later\nor in August, 1911. Formal notices\ndenouncing other commercial treaties existing with other uoctnsire\nies existing with other countries has\nalso been served.\nThis was the news brought from\nthe Orient by Mr. C. A. Harris, Canadian trade commissioner In Japan\nwho arrived in Vancouver on the Empress of Japan recently. Mr. Harris\nwho formerly resided at Vernon, is\nacompanied by his wife. Mr. Harris\ncrossed the Pacific for the sole purpose of attending the annual meeting\nof the Canadian Manufacturers' Association to be held In Vancouver\nnext month. His mission is to impress upon manufacturers the various opportunities for increasing\ntrade with the Mikado's kingdom.\nMr. Harris has filled his present position for over a year.\nGermans In It\nA London despatch says that with\nTeutonic foresight, Germany began\npreparing long ago for a possible renunciation by Japan of its old commercial treaties with the United\nStates and the European powers.\nThe German ambassador at Toklo\nbaron Mumm von Schwarzensteln, is\nin Berlin working hard on the draft\nof the new German-Japanese com\nmercial treaty, which is to replace\nthe expiring convention on July 17:\n1911. For months past the ambassador has been sending home material,\nand Kerr con Syburg, German consul-general at Yokohama, has been\nbusily engaged for some time at the\nforeign office in Berlin In working\nout statistics. In addition Herr\nThiel, German consul at Kobe, has\nfurnished tne home authorities with\na mass of useful reports.\n o\t\nBACK  FROM  OBSERVATORY\nC. H. Topp, of Victoria, Tells of Rich\nTerritory in North\nC. H. Topp, of the firm of Gore &\nMcGregor, surveyors of Victoria, returned to the city last evening from\nObservatory Inlet, where he was engaged In surveying a townslte locat'\ned at the head of Alice Arm. Mr.\nTopp is very favorably impressed\nwith that section of the country and\nsays there Is a very good townsite\nthere. He found the country full ot\nprospectors.\nThe locations there show good\nprospects and he was impressed with\nthe immense bodies of ore that were\nexposed.\nJust before he left a rich property\nwas reported to have been discovered\nby McDougali. The outlook was so\ngood that two investors were already\non the ground in an effort to secure\nthe rights which Mr. McDougali has\nobtained.\nHONOR THE FLAG\nIn Future  the British Ensign  Must\nHave First Place in Procession\nIn Winnipeg hereafter there will\nbe no processions in which people\ncan display all kinds of national\nflags either excluding or relegating\nto the background the British flag.\nA recent bylaw states that In every\nprocession or parade in which the applicant for any such license shall\ndisplay any national flag or flags,\nthe said applicant shall display the\nBritish national flag unfurled of not\nless than four and one-half feet\nby nine feet In size at the head of\nsuch procession or parade. If any\nflags of other nations are displayed\nIn such procession or parade, the\nsame shall be unfurled under or behind the British national flag, and\nfor every flag of any other nation so\nunfurled or displayed .'it least two\nBritish national flue's of the samo\nsize and  dimensions.\nPRINCE RUPERT IS\nGOOD INVESTMENT\nCITY CAS SUPPLY\nCity Council Has Passed Bylaws to Provide for Local Improvement.\nQuestion of Rights   on   the   Streets\nWill   be  Put  to  a\nTest\nBritish Capital Finds Good Opening Here While Local\nMan by Foresight Cleans Up Large Sum on\nBusiness Property.\nLocal News\nH.

They are now occupying quarters on Second avenue, near\nMcBride street.\n* *    *\nThere is to be a meeting of the\nexecutive committee \"of the Skeena\nRiver Agricultural and Industrial\nassociation in the Board of Trade\nrooms this evening.\n* *    *\nThe young men of the city were\nthe hosts at a most enjoyable dance\ngiven in Mclntyre's Hall last evening.\nThe floor was in good condition and\nthere were just enough present to ensure a first class time. Kauffman's\norchestra provided the music which\nwas, therefore, of the best qun'lty.\nA buffet supper was served about\nmidnight after which dancing was\nprolonged some time.\nEMINENT PRELATE\nArchbishop Bourne  of   Westminstei\nMade Hurried Trip lo Coast\nAi'chbisnop Bourne, head of the\nCatholic church in England, paid a\nvisit to the Pacific Coast a few days\nago. His trip was a hurried one, having to return east to attend the\nEucharistic congress in Montreal.\nThe archbishop arrived at Quebec\non the Empress of Britain. After\nvisiting the Archbishops of Quebec\nand Montreal he proceeded west,\nstopping at various points.\nWhile travelling Archbishop\nBourn has at his disposal a private\ncar sent to him by the Instructions\nof Mr. C. M. Hays, president of the\nGrand Trunk Railway Company.\nAccompanying Archblshon Bourne\nwere his secretaryfi Dr. Jackson, and\nMgr. Joseph Butt, Chancellor of the\nArchdiocese of Westminster.\nThe purchase this week by British\ncapital of the Helgerson block is the\nbest guarantee that investors can find\nin Prince Rupert the very best avenue in which to put their capital.\nO. M. Helgerson, who is recognized\nas one of the shrewdest of real estate dealers in the city, has, during\nhis short residence in the city, not\nonly made very quick returns but\nsatisfied with good results has enabled others to step in and make\nmoney.\nThe Helgerson block on the corner\nof Third avenue and Sixth street, in\nwhat is now the heart of the business\nlife of the city, has just been sold by\nMr. Helgerson to Cliff Ford, of London Eng., who is seeking investments in this part of the world. The\nblock, which has just been opened\nup for business and has every foot of\nit occupied at good rents, was sold\nfor $54,000. The transaction is a\ncash one.\nThe sale represents a splendid\nprofit to the original owner. He\nbought the lots for $17,500, and the\nbuilding cost about $16,000, so that\nthe returns to Mr. Helgerson were\nquite  good.\nHe   has   faith   in   Prince   Rupert,\n| however, and is satisfied to give some\none else the opportunity to make a\ngood profit while he utilizes the\nmoney obtained In further invest-\nments. Quick returns is hit mottc\nand the giving of others a chance U\ndo something also.\nThat Mr. Ford has reafji, :o be\ngratified with his investment is proved by the fact that the building represents a rental of over $5<\"i a month\nso that the returns will be large.\nMr. Ford has also purchased from\nMr. Helgerson the corner of Third\navenue and Eighth street for $20,-\n000.\nMr. Ford is a financier of considerable note. He has investments In\nseveral continents, but this is his\nfirst visit to British Columbia. Mr.\nFord says that outside of Ottawa he\nhas seen no place In Canada in which\nhe would rather live than in Prince\nRupert.\nHe will probably make further investments before leaving on his return trip to London.\nThe transaction is hut another evidence that investors still have their\neyes turned to Prince Rupert and\nthat nowhere on the coast can better\nresults be obtained than from Investments here.\nREADY FOR   MONEY\nTsimpsean Company Has Filed Its Plans\nWith the City\nCouncil.\nLIGHTING THE CITY\nEngineers Engaged  in  Formulating\nScheme for Furnishing Temporary\nFacilities.\nCouncil Does Not Intend to Alienate\nthe Distribution Part of the\nBusiness\nThe city engineer, with the assistance of Mr. Durant, Is engaged\nIn forinu atlng a policy which alms\nat giving the city an electric light\nsystem at an early date so that there\nmay not be darkness this winter, it\nis not likely, however, that a plant\nwill be obtainable in Vancouver.\nAmong those best informed on the\nsubject it will not likely be possible\nto find what is wanted in the way\nof large dynamos in that city.\nThe policy of the council is to control the distribution system in the\ncity for all time. It is possible,\ntherefore that an early start may be\nmade on putting in the lines throughout the city which would be necessary no matter what the future policy\nmay be with respect to the general\nsupply of power. If the city in the\nend decides to generate the power for\nall time or makes an arrangement\nwith some other company to supply\nit in quantity, the distribution system will be required in any event.\nThere is, therefore, nothing to prevent a start being made on the putting in of the necessary part just as\nsoon as the council decides exactly\nthat It is going to instal a plant.\nThe station where the power will\nnow be generated even if the power\nis supplied later in bulk, will be a\nnecessary part of the distribution\nsystem, being the central station for\nthe city.\n o .\nTO IMPORT GAME MUDS\nPrairie Chickens to he Secured From\nManitoba to Stock Districts\nTaking advantage of the provisions\nof the Manitoba Game Art in this\nrespect Hon. Dr. Young has communicated with the responsible minister of the sister province requesting\npermission for the securing, through\nthe chief game warden of Manitoba,\nof a number of the birds and animals\nindigenous to the prairie province.\nIt Is expected that this step Is preliminary to the Introduction of a considerable number of prairie chickens\nfor the purpose of stocking those\nareas of British Columbia favorable\nfor their development in numbers\nand strength. The Columbia grouse,\nmore generally known as the pralriii\nchicken, shares with the grey goose\nthe honor of being the great game\nbird of Manitoba, and there are many\ndistricts of this province in which\nundoubtedly It can be acclimatized\nsuccessfully, to prove a valuable addition to the great game asset of\nBritish Columbia.\n. o \u2014\nIn the police court this morning\nSamuel Pierce was convicted of supplying an Indian woman with liquor\nand was fined $200 and costs or two\nmonths In jail\nThe Tsimpsean Power Company, of\nwhich Mr. Brutinel is the manager,\nhas taken occasion to file its plans\nrelative to the laying of gas mains\nalong the streets of the city with the\ncouncil. This move is calculated to\nbring to a crisis the question of what\nrights the company has on the streets\nof the city.\nThe Tsimpsean company is incorporated under special charter granted by the legislature in 1907 when\nPrince Rupert was only a prospective\ncity. The company under its charter\nwhich gives the right to supply gas,\netc., on the Tsimpsean Peninsula,\ncontends that it may proceed with its\nwork without danger of molestation\nby the city.\nThis right which is claimed Is disputed by the city and It may be that\nthe city council will offer objection\nto the company proceeding with its\nwork on the streets and thus bring\nthe matter to a crisis.\nAccompanying the plan showing\nwhere gas mains were to be constructed, the Tsimpsean company\nforwarded a letter through its solicitor, L. W. Patmore. The letter was\na; follows: \u2014\nP.e Tsimpsean Light & Power Company.\nDear    Sirs:\u2014On    behalf    of    the\nTsimiiSean Light & Power company,\nI   l>eg  to  submit  herewith  for  your\napproval plans of the proposed location of the mains for conveying the\ngas from the proposed gas works ot\n. the Tsimpsean Light & Power Company   in   Prince  Rupert  to  eonstim-\nmers.     If  you  have  any   preference\nas to the parts of the streets in which\nit is proposed  to lay these mains, 1\nwould like to have from you a statement of such preference so that they\nmay be laid according to your desire.\nKindly take this matter up without\ndelay and notify me either that the\nplans  submitted  are  satisfactory  to\nyour body  or state your  preference\nwith regard to the location   of    the\nmains and pipes so that we may proceed  at  once  with  the  undertaking.\nI might say on behalf of the company that the proper application under their charter was made to the\nChief Commissioner of Public Works\nfor the province before the city was\nincorporated asking for permission to\nproceed with the undertaking and as\nto the approval of the laying of the\ngas mains in the streets, and that the\nChief Commissioner asked this company to deal directly with  the city\nwhen the same should be Incorporated and withheld the consent required.     We  have  on   file   this   written\nrefusal. You will consequently understand  that  this  company  has  done\neverything   in its power as required\nby its charter.    The size of the mains\nwe propose to lay are six inches in\ndiameter,    high     pressure   weldless\nMannesman pipes. Yours truly,\nL. W. PATMORE.\nThe company's plans aim at beginning at once on the laying of mains\naccording to Mr. Brutinel, so as to\nensure gas for lighting and heating.\nAt the present time a rough estimate\nas to the demand that will be put on\nthe system Is being made.\nThe company has coal measures on\nthe Queen Charlottes unci borings are\nalready being made with the objeel\nIn view of testing these. These will\nbe the ultimate source of aupply for\nthe raw material from which will be\nproduced the gas for local consumption.\nMr. Brutinel snys Ms company will\nsupply gas at the same rates as prevail in Vancouver.\nHank nf Montreal Has Been Furnished  With Copy in Order to\nEnsure Loan\nThere was a short session of the\ncity council last evening, the principal object of the meeting being to\nfinally pass the two bylaws for local\nimprovement in section one, and at\nSeal Cove. There being no adverse\npetition against these, they were reconsidered and passed and copies\nwere supplied Mr. Clancy of the\nHank of Montreal, who forwarded it\nto headquarters In order that the\nquestion of the money to carry on\nthe work may be at once disposed of.\nThere should be little delay as tbe\ncopy went forward on last evening's\nsteamer.\nLight Plant Location\nThe city council has practically\ndecided to put in its own light plant\nfor the meantime at least. The question of where to locate it is giving\nthe aldermen some concern. Following the advice of Mr, Burns, of the\ncity engineer's staff, there would be\ndecided advantage in locating it\ntowards the heart of the city instead\nof at one side. The advantage would\nbe that there would be a decided saving in the cost of wiring, and if a loss\nof voltage was to be avoided a larger\nwire would be required to bring the\ncurrent any length.\nThe mayor and aldermen are busy\nconsidei ing the question of sites.\nContractors Explain\nS. P. MoMordie & Co. wrote that\nin making their tender for work on\nSecond avenue, they had made it out\non their own calculation and not on\nthe basis of twenty per cent and\neighty per cent of earth and rock.\nThe council adjourned until Tuesday evening.\n\u25a0 o\t\nSTAND OF COUNCIL\nAid.

Haworth\nbooth, Lieut. J. A. Slee, and Staff\nPaymaster Manisty. Admiral Henderson's mission Is to report upon\nthe organization of the Australian\nnavy and the question of the naval\ndefence of the commonwealth.\nAt the council meeting a few evenings ago, Aid. Pattullo made an\nexplanation relative to the matter\nof dispute between the G.T.P. and\nthe city as to assessment on the reserve property. In doing so he explained that there appeared to be\nsome misunderstanding on the part\nof the public as to what the situation\nwas. He stated that when the conference took place with Mr. hays the\nlatter had been asked what proposition he had to offer. Mr. Hays had\nsaid that he was not making any\nproposition. His company expected\nsome proposition from the city.\nAid. Pattullo said he took the ground\nthat the city was not in a position\nin make an offer to tbe company un-\nifcr the circumstances, if Mr. Hays\nwould make a proposition, however,\nin the matter the council would see\nthat It was pul before the people.\nAid. I'altuiio al the council meeting stated Hint in his opinion this\nwas the only ground that could be\ntaken   by  them.\nEXAMINING MINES\nMinion Men From South  Have Gone\nInto Interior of Province\nThere arrived in the city on the\n(J. T. P. steamer Prince Rupert on\nWednesday, Alexander Faulds, M.E.,\nand A. to. McMorrls, both of Vancouver. Their presence In the city\nwas sufficient to arouse a suspicion\nthat there was some kind of mining\ndeal in prospect. Neither were ready\nto reveal much as to their plans, another reason for believing that they\nare making some important move.\nThey left the following morning\nby the Inlander for Hazelton. They\nexpect to be back In about three\nweeks time.\nin\nv\\ THE   PRINCE   RUPERT   JOURNAL\nFriday, September 2, 1910\nSALMON SITUATION\nPacific Coast Output According to Those\nInterested in the\nBusiness\nThe Whole Pack lor the Year Under\nReview ami Compared With\nOther  .Seasons\nThe salmon pack of the Pacific\nCoast for the season of 1910 will\nshow a heavy falling off from that of\nlast year and from present indications will be the smallest for six\nyears, states the Pacific Fisherman.\nWhile nearly every district has had\na prosperous season and packers will\nwithout exception net good returns\nfor the summer's operations, the\nshort years in several of the districts,\ntogether with an unexpected falling\noff In the total of the Alaska production will bring the figures for the\ncoast total down below what they\nhave been showing since 1904.\nThe Pacific Fisherman reviews the\nconditions as they appeared on August 5.\nHeavy falling off in Alaska pack,\ncaused by 300,000 case shortage at\nBristol Bay and reduction in the\nPink pack in Southeastern Alaska.\nOff year on Puget Sound, with a\npack of sockeyes that will total\nscarcely over 200,000.

Present\nreports, which are virtually correct\nand final, indicate a total of 834,000\ncases, a falling off from the pack of\n1909 of over 315,000 cases and from\nthe pack of 1908 of 336,000 cases.\nThis makes a very serious void In the\npack of the Alaska Red and means a\ndistinct loss to the packers, as the\nmarkets are in such condition as to\nreally absorb a pack of twice these\ndimensions at fully as good a price\nas the packers will lie enabled to\ncharge for this year's pack.

The pack\nof reds in this district is about up to\nlast year and a few chums are also\nbeing packed.\nBoth cl the plants outside of\nPrince of Wales island were up to\nthe average on their red pack according to latest reports, but it is\nimpossible to estimate their pink production as this Is a late district and\nthe run was just then starting.\nPresent Indications are that the\npack in Alaska will fall below the\n2,000,000 case mark for the first\ntime in five years.\nPuget Sound\nThe big falling off from last year's\ntotals occurs on Puget Sound, where\nthe sockeye pack will total scarcely\nover 200,000 cases, as compared with\nslightly over a million cases last year.\nThe fact that It Is an off year on\npinks will also prove a big factor In\nreducing thihs grade's pack, which\nlast year amounted to 361,455 cases.\nCounting the full pack of cohoes and\nthe pack of chums the same as last\nyear, this district will undoubtedly\nshow a loss in the totals of at least\n1,100,000 cases. Of course last year\nwas not only a big fourth year, but\nthe very largest fourth year In the\nhistory of the Industry. It was recognized at the outset that the pack\nwould be small this season, and the\noutcome Is no worse, and possibly a\nlittle better, than the cannerymen anticipated. The run of Sockeyes to\ndate has continued through about\nfour weeks. At no time has it been\nheavy, although trap catches during\nthe height of the run were good for\nan off year. At the present writing\nthe run has fallen off almost entirely,\nnnd while there may be a late spurt,\npackers are scarcely expecting it and\nlook upon their pack of sockeyes as\nbeing complete. The pack of pinks\nis a negligible quantity and it is too\nearly yet to predict the size of the\nfair pack of cohoes.\nFraser River\nThe salmon pack on the Fraser\nriver up to Saturday night, August\n6, was 130,000 cases and with two\nweeks of good fishing ahead, the\n150,000 cases for which the packers\nprepared will, it Is believed, be obtained. While the fish were scarce In\nthe early days of the run, they have\ncome along splendidly during the\npast two weeks and the pack will\ncome up to expectations. The fishermen have found the game a lottery,\nhowever, for the boat averages have\nvaried considerably. Thus on July\n26 the high boat on the river took\n159 fish, while the next day the\ncatches varied from 111 fish to 30\nfish. The illegal sale of sockeyes to\nAmericans resulted in an officer being placed at Canoe Pass and Instructions being given to the Restless and Georgia to keep a valient\npatrol. On July 29 the canneries received a large quantity of fish, and\nnine canneries, taken at random, returned a total catch of 46,000 salmon. The average catch for the 20\ncanneries on the river totalled about\n50,000 fish a day. But of course\nsome days the catch was more than\ndouble this nnd on others the boats\nwere not very successful.\nNorthern British Columbia\nThe pack in northern British Columbia is complete and this appears\nto he the only district on the Coast\nthat has equalled last year's totals.\nThe canneries in the north enjoyed a\nprosperous season. It Is estimated\nthat the puck Is about as follows:\nCases.\nSkeena River   150,000\nIii-.' rs Inlet       1.11,000\nNaas      25,000\nwit.

While\nconsiderable money may be lost on\nChinese contracts on the river this\nyear, this Is a condition which It not\nlikely to be repeated again to so large\nan extent, as many of the plants are\ninstalling the new sanitary process,\nwhich requires much less Oriental\nlabor. The following plants will use\nthe new process next year: P. J. Mc-\nGowan & Sons, Union Fishermen Cooperative Co., Elmore & Co., Sanborn\nCutting Co., Columbia River Packers' Association, J. G. Megler & Co.,\nWarren Packing Co., and F. A. Seu-\nfert.\nWashington and Oregon Coast\nThe pack In these districts Is\nscarcely far enough along to secure\nany definite idea as to its size. The\npack on Grays Harbor has been a\ngood one so far, and the packers\nboth on the Washington and Oregon\ncoast are looking for a good season.\nThree new canneries have been erected for operation during the fall season along the Oregon coast and several of the Elmore canneries closed\nlast year will open up this season.\nThe coast pack should therefore run\nahead of that of last year, providing\nthe run of fish is as good as expected.\n\u2014 o\t\nRESOURCES OF  INDIA\nCOLONIAL REGIMENT\nGeneral  Progress Is  Being Made in\nThat  Part of  the  Empire\nA statement containing the progress and conditions in India for the\nyears 1908-09 has just been issued\nby the British colonial office.\nIn accordance with arrangements\nwith the Chinese authorities a limited number of chests of opium were\nexported by the government of India.

The idea\nof personal service freely given by\nthe subjects of his outer empire for\nthe maintenance of that stability\nwhich is the greatest guarantee of\nthe peace of the world is most happily inspired to preserve the memory\nof one whose motto for so many\nyears was \"Ich Dlen,\" and who was\nuniversally loved as the peacemaker.\nThe change of title has been specially approved by King George,\nwhose knowledge of his father's\nwishes and whose comprehensive\ngrasp of the defensive problems of\nthe empire give great value to his\ngracious consent. Thanks to a munificent gift from Lord Strathcona and\nto other liberal contributions, the\nfuture of King Edward's horse, rests\nupon a solid foundation, and the\ngradual expansion of the corps and\nIts influence throughout the empire\nmay be anticipated with confidence.\nHistory of Corps\nThe King's Colonials were raised\nin November, 1901, and through the\nInfluence and keen personal sympathy of King Edward, who was\npleased to become honorary colonel,\nwere enrolled in the forces of the\ncrown as a regiment if Imperial Yeomanry. The ralson d'etre of the\nKing's Colonials was to commemorate the personal service rendered in\nSouth Africa to the empire by the\nover-sea dominions, and to enable\ncitizens of the different states domiciled or temporarily resident in\nEngland to qualify themselves for\nthe defence of the empire. The\nqualifications for King Edward's\nhorse are that the recruit shall be\nborn In a dominion or crown colony,\nor that he shall come of parents born\nIn a dominion or crown colony, or\nthat he shall have lived in a dominion or crown colony for not less than\nfive years, while all who join the\nregiment give an undertaking to fight\nfor the empire In the case of national\nemergency wherever their services\nmay be required. The finance and\nadministration of the regiment are in\nthe hands of a committee composed\nof men of standing drawn from all\nparts of the empire, the chairman, of\nwhich is Sir Arthur Blgge.

As may be seen by the army\nlist, expansion has been sought in\nan obviaus direction by means of alliances which have been formed during the past four years between the\ncorps which is now King Edward's\nhorse and local regiments of the Canadian, Australian and South African\nforces. These affiliations are likely\nto grow and to Increase the number\ndesirous to serve their time, if possible, In King Edward's Horse.\nThe enlisted strength of the regiment at present Is 472 officers and\nmen, and Included In this number\nare 38 Rhodes scholars and representatives from every over-sea dominion. It may be mentioned that\nthe Rhodes trustees contribute to\nthe funds of the regiment, thus giving practical proof of their approval\nof King Edward's horse as a factor\nIn Imperial education and federation.\nSELLING WARSHIPS\nGermany   is   Very Business-like In\nHer Transactions\nThe sale by the German admiralty\nof two old German battleships, the\nWoerth and Brandenburg, for 12,-\n500,000 apiece to the Turkish government Is causing the rBitish public\nto wonder why Great Britain cannot\ndrive similar bargains for her many\nobsolete warships. It Is stated that\nTurkey wished to buy some discarded British vessels, and that this was\nimpossible owing to the conditions\nImposed by the British Admiralty,\nwhich, when It sells an old ship. Invariably stipulates that It must be\nbroken up and deprived of all fighting qualities before It leaves the\ncountry.\nThe two German ships sold to Turkey were launched in 1891 and 1892.\nTheir displacement is 10,000 tons,\nand their armament consists of six\nshort eleven-inch guns, with a secondary battery of 4-1 inch and 3.4\ninch pieces. They are thus contemporary with the British Centurion\nand Barfleur, ships of the same size\nand of high speed, each armed with\nfour ten Inch and ten six inch guns.\nInese two British warships were\nsliold by auction last month, the Barfleur fetching $132,000, and the Centurion $131,000 or about one-twentieth of the sum which Germany Is\nnow to receive for similar units.\nThese figures, however, do not really\nrepresent the difference in price received, for the German ships are being sold with armament, equipment\nand ammunition complete, whereas\nthe British battleships were stripped\nand cleared out when placed In the\nsale list.\nThe difference, however, Is very remarkable, and It is being asked why\nthe British authorities could not relax their cast Iron rules and obtain\nbetter prices for obsolete British war\nvessels.\n\u2014THE-\nOliver\nTypewriter\n\u2014FOR\u2014\nSeventeen Cents a Day\nPlease read the headline over\nagain.

The transition of\nAmerican Telephone of four years\nago, with $133,000,000 stock and\npossible $300,000,000 of outstanding\nobligations, taking the system as a\nwhole, to a national enterprise with\nover $750,000,000 assets and controlling through Western Union over\n$1,000,000,000 of capital, has been\nso rapid that the dominant New England ownership has not had time to\nadjust itself to the other equally\nimportant fact that the old days of\nburdensome financing have forever\npassed.\nThis does not mean that American\nTelephone will not do any financing\nor pretty regular financing in years\nto come, but that old saying in State\nstreet that American Telephone\nshares are a good investment, and\nthe company must have $40,000,000\nto $50,000,000 new capital each year\nhas lost Its truth. There is good\nreason to believe that the bulk of\nsuch financing as comes will be for\ncollateral purposes\u2014either the acquisition of new companies or the\nloaning of funds for telegraph expansion.\nIn the first six months of the current year American Telephone gained 308,000 stations, including stations of the Bell lines proper and\nconnected licensee or affiliated independent stations. This at the rate\nof 616,000 per annum, and compares\nwith a total Increase in stations last\nyear of 778,000. This decrease In\nthe face of the fact that the company\nis spending this year at the rate of\n$42,1100,000 per annum in new construction compnred with $28,000,000\nin 1909, an increase of $14,000,000,\nor 50 per cent, is puzzling until\nanalyzed.   The explanation Is this:\u2014\nIn 1909 American Telephone connected with 405,061 sub-licensee or\nIndependent telephone stations. In\nthe first six months of this year the\nnumber was but 73,000, or at the\nrate of 146,000 per annum. At the\nsame time the Increase in Bell stations proper was 234,935, against\n167,691 for the six months to June\n30th last. This means that the gain\nin stations of the Bell line proper\nupon which, of course, only American\nTelephone money is spent, is rum\nning at a rate of 40 per cent greater\nthan in 1909\nThe slowing down in affiliation\nwith independent stations is only\nnatural. American Telephone has\nabout cleaned up the available field.\nLike Alexander, It has no more\nworlds to conquer. The connection\nwith independents for the four years\nto December 31st last was at the rate\nof 317,000 per annum. This year\nIt is at the rate of 146,000 per annum, or less than half.\n o\t\nB. C.

We do\nnot   believe   in   condemning   police\nofficers  on   the  mere   charges   preferred by the denizens of the restricted section of a city but In this in\nstance more than ordinary publicity\nhas been given  to reports  and  the\nfullest  Inquiry  should  be  made so\nthat information that 'cannot be obtained In a court of   law    may    be\nforthcoming and justice done to all\nconcerned.\nIncidentally we may state that we\nbelieve that the police, even if their\noccupation is a trying one, should be\nexpected to always act in a proper\nmanner if the laws which they are to\nenforce are to be respected. We,\nmoreover, believe that with a uniformed force now in the city a little\ndrilling of the men so that they may\nlearn the common duties of their\noffice and present a smart appearance\nwould not be lacking. A slovenly\nstyle in a police officer is as obnoxious\nto the public as it is in a soldier.\nQUESTION OK FORM\nThe  explanation   offered   by   Aid.\nPattullo  before  the council  regarding the G. T. P. reserve matter may\nbe ethically correct, but it does not\nafford a solution of the matter. The\ncitizens of Prince Rupert, we believe,\nare   less   concerned   in   the   ethical\naspect   of   the   situation   than   they\nare in the practical side of it.   If the\nmountain will not come to Mahomet\nit Is up to Mahomet, we suppose, to\nbeat a trail to the mountain.    In a\nmatter that may be fraught with as\nmuch importance to the city as this\nquestion  involves,  citizens care not\nanything about the method of doing\nthe work.    The results are all that\nconcerns them.    We do not want to\nhandicap the council In making the\nbest arrangements possible with the\nG.T.P.  We  have  confidence  enough\nin the business ability of the members of the council  to believe that\nthey may be working out a  policy\nthat may result In a settlement that\nwill bring the most satisfactory results to both sides.    It Is not always\nwise on  the part of the council  to\nfully reveal  its hand  and  we  hope\nthat the question is receiving the attention at its hands that it deserves.\nThe assessment on the G.T.P. reserve seems  to  be  very exorbitant.\nThe company is entitled to the greatest consideration at the hands of the\ncity  because  its  policy  can  be  one\nof expedition   with   respect   to    the\nplace or one of retarding the development.    The future of the city Is assured  but  the  immediate  future  is\nsomething   about   which   every   one\nresident   here   has   the  deepest   concern.\nThe company can, if it sees fit, expend a very considerable amount of\nmoney in the city in the next few\nyears, which would mean a lot to the\nplace nnd attract capital here. We\nhave no wish to stampede the council. The members of Unit body have\ntheir responsibilities in the matter,\nbut we hope that there will be no attempt to |el mailers of order or precedent stand in the way of good\nJudgment, especially in a case like\nthis where so much may be involved\nof part 2 of this act:\u2014-\n\"(a) Exposes or keeps for sale any\nintoxicating liquor;   or, *\n\"(b) Directly or indirectly, on any\npretense, or by any. device, sails or\nbarters, or In the consideration of\nthe purchase of any other property,\ngives to any other person any 1 ltcxl-\ncating liquor;  or\n\"(c) Sends, ships, brings, or carries, or causes to be sent, shipped or\nbrought, or carried to or into any\ncounty or city any intoxicating liquor; or,\n\"(d) Delivers to any consignee or\nother person or stores, warehouses,\nor keeps for delivery any intoxicating\nliquor so sent, shipped, brought or\ncarried;\n\"Shall, on summary conviction be\nliable to a penalty for the first offense of not less than fifty dollars\nor imprisonment for a term not exceeding one month, with or without\nhard labor, and for a second offence, to a penalty of not less than\none hundred dollars or for Imprisonment for a term not exceeding two\nmonths with or without hard labor,\nand for a third and every subsequent\noffence, to Imprisonment for a term\nnot exceeding four months, with or\nwithout hard labor.\"\nIn addition to this, I would like\nthe business men to know what Mr.\nT. H. B. Witter, a merchant of Nova\nScotia, now a merchant in Vancouver, says in regard to this matter:\u2014\n\"Merchants should vote for it because  the money spent   for    drink\nwould be used to purchase clothing\nand provisions.   Fathers should vote\nfor   it   because  a   great   temptation\nwould be removed  from their sons.\nEvery good citizen  should  vote for\nit because it would raise the moral\nstanding of the people in every community where the law is enforced.\"\nThis gentleman has labored for 40\nyears  and  is  one  of  the  most  respected merchants of the east.     Evidence of this kind  could be multiplied and therefore, the question of\n\"blind pigs\" is within the power of\nthe people to prevent if they determine that the law shall be enforced.\nIt is a simple proposition and only\nneeds men with moral backbone to\naccomplish all that is needed.    We\nhave found  in  our long experience\nthat the fear of losing a few orders\nhas played a larger part and has been\na stronger factor in the opopsltlon to\nthese beneficent acts of parliament.\nIf Prince Rupert will follow the lead\nof other larger cities  where conditions are pretty much the same so\nfar as logging, mining, fishing, emigration and tourists are concerned,\nthey will do a good thing for themselves and set an example to other\ncities   of  British   Columbia.\nD.

The     ,.,,,....m-\namendment of 190S distinctly states j ments to the commerce court or to\nThe new United States road law\nis now effective. Immediately upon\nthe passage '\u2022l the act sixty days ago,\nsections of the law relating to the\nsuspension of rates went into effect.\nSince that time the interstate commerce commission has been operating\nunder the law.\nIt is now the intention of the commission to take any formal notice of\nthe effectiveness of the law by the 1\nissuance now or at any future time\nof a formal statement concerning its\nprovisions. All of them are assumed by the commission to be well understood.\nA conference was held by the commission with representatives of the\ntelegraph and telephone companies\nconcerning the law as it applies to\nthem. The companies expressed a\ndesire to do all In their power to\nfacilitate the work of the commission, so far as it might relate to\nthem.\nHeretofore, of course, as common\ncarriers under tiie law, the telegraph\nand telephone companies will have\nto file reports with the commission\nconcerning their business, just as the\nrailroads now do. The officers were\ninformed also, that, after today, no\nfranks for messages could legally be\nissued, except as governed by the\nanti-pass provision of the Hepburn\nact. After today, therefore, the issuance and use of telegraph and telephone franks are barred by the statute.\nThe long-and-short-hatil provision\nof the recently enacted law, while it\nbecomes effective at once, actually\nwill not be operative for six months,\nas that time Is allowed for the carriers to adjust with the commission\ntheir tariffs with respect to that provision.\nNo announcement yet has been\nmade by President  Talt  of appoint\nCopies have been received of the\namendments to the inspection and\nsale act, part 9, referring to fruit and\nfruit packages. Section 3 of clause\nNo. 321 is amended so that In place\nof the words, \"specimens not less\nthan medium sizes,\" the phrase \"Includes no culls,\" Is used.\nThe other clause of the act of\nmore interest to fruit packers In the\nKootenays Is No. 322. This remains\nunchanged.\nSection 321 is as follows: \"No person shall sell, or offer, expose or have\nIn his possession for sale, any fruit\npacked:\n\"(a) In a closed package and Intended for sale, unless such package\nis marked as required by the provisions of this part;\n(b)   In  a   closed   package   upon\nwhich package Is marked any designation which represents such fruit as\nof:   (1)   fancy quality,  unless such\nfruit consists  of well  grown  specimens of one variety, sound, of uniform and at least normal size, and\nof  good   color   for   the   variety,   of\nnormal shape, from from worm holes,\nbruises, scab and other defects, and\nproperly packed;  (2) No. 1 quality,\nunless such  fruit consists   of    well\ngrown specimens   of    one    variety,\nsound, of not les than medium size,\nand of good color for the variety, of\nnormal shape and not less than 90\nper cent free from scab, worm holes,\nbruises and other defects, and properly packed;   (3) No. 2 quality, unless   such   fruits   includes   no   culls\nand consists of specimens of not less\nthan nearly medium size for the variety and not less than 80 per cent\nfree from worm holes and such other\ndefects as cause material waste and\nproperly packed.\n(c) In any package in which the\nfaced or shown surface gives a false\nrepresentation of the contents of\nsuch package; and it shall be considered a false representation when\nmore than 15 per cent of such fruit\nis substantially smaller in size than\nor inferior In grade to or different\nin variety from the face or shown\nsurface of susch package.\nSection 322, dealing with fruit\nfalsely marked and packed, Is as follows:\u2014\nWhenever any fruit in any package\nis found to be so packed tbat the\nfaced or shown surface gives a false\nrepresentation of the contents of the\npackage, any inspector charged with\nthe enforcement of this part may\nmark the words falsely marked\" In\nplain and indelible manner on the\npackage.\n2.

Telephone\nCompany will shortly remove its\npoles from all the streets In the section of the city bounded by Seymour,\nHastings, Pacific and Beatty streets,\nand place them In the following\nlanes: ane between Seymour and\nRichards, from Pacific to lane between Dunsmuir and Pender; lane\nbetween Richards and Homer, from\nDrake to lane between Homer and\nHamilton from Smythe to lane between Dunsmuir and Pender; lanes\nbetween Hamilton and Cambie, and\nCambie and Beatty as far as they\nrun. The application for the change\nof pole route was laid before the\nboard of works and granted.\nThe company also asked that It be\ngiven permission to lay underground\nconduits on Thurlow street from the\nlane between Pacific and Harwood\nto the lane between Evelelgh and\nMelville, thence to Burrard, and also\nacross the school grounds between\nHamilton and Beatty streets on\nDunsmuir street. The board approved\nof the plan.\nSome time ago the B. C. Electric\nrailway was asked to move Its poles\non Georgia street between Cardero\nand Chilco. A letter was received\nfrom Manager Rummel, of the light\nand power department, enclosing a\ncommunication from Col.

S. Conducts its Purchasing of Fuel For Year\nThe United States buys about\nseven million dollars worth of coal\nevery year for use in th navy, In the\npublic buildings in Washington and\nother cities and for other purposes,\nabout one-third of it\u2014mainly coal\nused in public buildings\u2014on specifications under which prices are fixed\naccording to the value or quality of\nthe coal delivered by the successful\nbidder. A definite standard of\nquality for the coal thus purchased\nIs specified by each bidder and this\nstandard is considered in awarding\nthe contract. If the value of the coal\nfurnished Is below the standard fixed\na discount Is made from the standard\nprice; if Its value is above the standard an allowance Is made for the excess of value and a proper sum Is\npaid In addition to the contract price.\nThe value Is determined by tests\nand analyses made by the Geological\nSurvey on samples taken from the\ncoal furnished by the contractor.\nThese analyses and tests show the\nquality of the coal In terms of fixed\ncarbon, volatile matter, sulphur, ash,\nand moisture, and especially its heating value in British thermal units,\nas determined by calorimetrlc tests.\nUntil within a few years the agents\nof the government, in buying coal, relied upon the integrity of the dealer\nand the reputation of the mine or district from which the coal was obtained, and these formed the only possible assurance that the coal was\nequal In quality to the grade to be\nfurnished. The new method has been\nso successful that it will probably be\ngradually extended to cover a larger\nshare of the goevrnment's fuel supply.\nA full statement of this method of\nbuying coal Is contained in a recent\nbulletin of the United States Geological Survey (Bulletin 428), entitled\n\"The purchase of coal by the government, with analyses of coal delivered\nfor the fiscal year 1908-09,\" by G. S.\nPope.\nThe bulletin includes a statement,\nof the factors affecting the value of\ncoal, a description of the methods\nadopted for sampling and testing, a\nform of specifications used under the\nnew plan, a list of government contracts for coal for the fiscal year\n1909-10, and a table of analyses of\ncoal furnished for the fiscal year\n2908-9.\nAt a performance of \"Dora\" many\nyears ago In a Western city, when\nMary Morrison made her exit to\nbring on her little Willie of four\nyears, she was shocked to find a\nlubberly boy of at least fourteen;\nand, as he was the only Willie at\nhand, on he must go, though he was\nwell-night as big as his mother.\nThe Farmer Allan of the play, being\nequal to the emergency, instead of\nInquiring, \"How old are you, my little man?\" endeavored to remedy the\nmatter by saying, \"How old are you,\nmy strapping boy?\"\nCHURCH AMUSEMENTS\nMethodist Conference Considers the Question of Time Honored\nProhibition.\nLess Restrictive Rules Are Adopted\nin Legislative Gathering at\nVictoria\nThe specific restrictions in the\nMethodist Church discipline dealing\nwith tbe moral conduct of Its members have been swept away, and In\ntheir place has been substituted a\ngeneral admonition as to good conduct, such as Is consistent with a\nChristian life. The change was effected by the general conference at\nIts meeting In Victoria. So has ended what will go down in Methodist\nchurch history as the famous footnote controversy.\nThe footnote around the abrogation substitution or retention ot\nwhich a bitter discussion raged, came\nbefore the conference through a report from a Commission on Rules appointed at the last quadrennium. This\ncommission was composed of 35 men,\namong them the most prominent\nfigures in Methodism in the country.\nTheir report suggested a substitution\nfor the footnote, but It was not of a\ncharacter to meet with favor at the\nconference.\nThe footnote read as follows: \"The\ngeneral rules are to be understood\nas forbidding neglect of duties of any\nkind, Imprudent conduct, indulging\nin sinful tempers or words, the buying, selling or using of intoxicating\nliquors as a beverage, dancing, playing at games of chance, encouraging\nlotteries, attending theatres\nraces, circuses, dancing parties, patronizing dancing schools, taking sucii\nother amusements as are obviously\nof a misleading or questionable\nmoral tendency and all acts of disobedience to the order and discipline\nof the Church.\"\nThe commission's report pointed\nout that these rules should not comprise the code to be enforced, bul\nmerely epitomized tne godly life\nwhich Methodists ought to lead. It\nwent on to recommend such changes\nin the clause as would allow more\nliberty of action to the members of\nthe church.\n\"Now we can dance if we like,\" re\nmarked one delegate, on hearing the\nsuggested changes. A burst of laugh\nter greeted this sally.\nMr. Justice MacLaren, of Toronto,\nsaid that the present was the first\nattempt to interfere with this portion\nof the church's discipline. It was an\nattempt to deal with principles which\nhad been partly laid down by John\nWesley himself and ratified by succeeding conferences. The matter had\nagitated several conferences and was\na theme of grave importance to the\nchurch itself. Whatever was done\nshould be the result of mature deliberation, as the principles of Methodism were Involved.\nAnother delegate said that thousands of would-be Methodists were\nstanding outside the church waiting\nuntil the restrictions under discussion were removed.\nAt a later discussion on motion ot\nProfessor W. W. Andrews, of Sack-\nvllle, N.B., seconded by the Rev. Dr.\nJ. White, of New Westminster, and\nalmost unanimously adopted by the\nconference, the footnote was obrogat-\ned and the following substituted.:\n\"Forasmuch as these rules are to\nbe Interpreted by the enlighted\nChristian conscience according to\nthe principles of Christian liberty\nrevealed In God's Word, our members are earnestly admonished that\nthey guard with great care their\nreputation as servants of Christ; and\nin the case of those amusements and\npractices which are of a hurtful and\nquestionable tendency I hey engage in\nnone injurious to their spiritual life\nor incompatible to their allegiance\nto Jesus Christ, their Master.\"\nWhen the adjourned discussion on\nhe report of the Commission on\nRules was resumed, the air In the i\nassembly hall was charged with\nelectricity. Delegates sprang io their\nfeet with amendments to the report.\nAnother matter of considerable\npublic interest arose out of a report\npresented by the committee on temperance, prohibition and moral reform. Attention was drawn to the\naction of the minister of justice in\npardoning two men who had pleaded\nguilty to the publication of obscene\nliterature. It was intimated that the\ngeneral conference could not afford\nto pass over this \"gross Insult\" to\ncommon decency without protest.\nThe Rev. Dr. S. D. Chown of Toronto, chairman of the committee,\nreporting, said that the matter of\nSkill and King was a very large public question, but one which would not\nbear discussion before the general\nconference.     He  would  ask  that  a\ncommittee of 35 men should be appointed to draw up a memorial for\npresentation to the Dominion government. The memorial should deal\nwith the specific cases of Skill and\nKing, and also with obscene literature generally, and the necessity fur\nits prohibition. The commission\nshould have such a personnel that its\nfindings would be accepted without\nquestion.\nA committee of the most prominent names of those attending the conference was appointed to deal wtih\nthe matter.\nAnother recommendation of this\ncommittee to be adopted was that of\ngiving the general secretary power\nto call a meeting of any confc-renci\ncommittee throughout the Dominion\nat any time. This Involves the question of the general board dealing\nwith questions which may be purely\nlocal In character, and also means an\naddition to the personnel of that\nboard.\nDr. Chown pointed out that the\nnew arrangement would prove of\nconsiderable value In re tifylng\nsocial evils of perhaps a moment's\ngrowth which could be dealt with at\nonce.\nMr. N. W. Rowell, K.C. of Toronto,\nspeaking to this recommendation,\nwas of opinon that the limit had been\nreached in the number of the personnel of the t'jard. H-! W'.uld regret\nto see any permanent enlargement.\nThe church should get e'ergymen and\nlaymen lu icialitles to do their own\nwork.\nMr. J. Gibs'.n, of luwrgoll, said\nthat the Ontario conference had\nfound it necessary to increase It?\norganization by leaps and bounds.\nOntario had already .lone ten times\nmore than the genera, conference\nnow propose 1 doia^. The worst\nfeature of the Methodist conference\nwas that it had passed resolutions\nand was without the machinery to\nput them into effect. He strongly\nurged an increase to the personnel\nof the board.\nThe Rev. A. M. Sandford, of Vancouver, deprecated the idea of giving\nthe board power to legislate on matters which were purely of local interest.\nThe recommendation of the tern\nperance committee was finally adopted, the composition of the board to\nconsist of the chairman, treasurer,\ngeneral secretary and field secre\ntarles.\nOn the recommendation of the\ncommittee an amendment has been\nmade to the discipline allowing for\nthe appointment of district temperance secretaries in every district of\nthe church. Hitherto there has only\nbeen two secretaries in each district, the financial secretary and\nSunday school secretary.\nIn sympathy with the Chinese government's crusade against the traffic\nin opium, the general superintendent and secretary have been instructed to draw up a memorial to be forwarded to the British government\nasking that power to use all Its Influence to help China In the work\nupon which she is engaged.\nThe report of the commission on\nrules further recommended a change\nIn a clause In the discipline which\nstates that a probationer should take\nno steps about marriage without first\nconsulting his brethren. The new\nclause reads that when about to enter\nthe married state he should consult\nhis superiors in office to whose authority he is submitted.\nThe Rev. A. J. Irwin of Mount\nForest, on the submission of this\nrecommendation, said that any one\nwho didn't know enough about\nchoosing a wife would have a sorry\noutlook. He did not think the matter was one In which a man would\ndisplay good sense by consulting Ills\nbrethren.\nPersonals\nDr. Kergln has been ill the city\nthis week.\n\u2022 *     *\nHugo Ross and G K Killam. of\nWinnipeg, after inspecting the Stewart mines, went soutii last night.\n\u2022 *     *\nMrs. O.

Woods gives a\nvivid description in the Cornhill of\nthe fashion In which    Cecil Rhodes\nended the Matabele war:   One who\nhad been a trooper in   the    British\ncamp at the time, In pointing out the\nsite of Rhodes' tent and of the meeting with the Matabele chiefs, told us\nthe story as it struck \"the man who\nwas there,\" but seeing things from\nthe    outside    only.    He   told  how\nRhodes had  lived  for six weeks In\nhis isolated tent.    \"Then,\" said he,\n\"one evening Mr. Rhodes was talking\nwith Baden-Powell and some of them\nand he said to them, \"I believe the\nMatabele are as tired of the war as\nwe are, and if someone of Importance\nwould  Just  walk  over  unarmed   to\ntheir camp and offer them favorable\nconldtions of peace, they would come\nIn.'    And the others said  that was\nall very well, but who was going to\nit    Mr. Rhodes   didn't    make    any\nanswer to that, but next morning we\ncouldn't find him In his tent, nor yet\nin the camp.\nThere was a rare hunt for Mr.\nRnodes, and at last it came out he\nhad gone over to the Matabele camp\nwith three of his friends, and was\nmaking peace with the chiefs.\" . . .\nOne can imagine that host of splendid fighting men\u2014muscles of steel\nand skins of smoothest bronze, with\nshield and-assegais, and all their war\ngear, gat\u201eered on the hillside in the\nearly morning sunlight, watching the\napproach of the White Chief and his\nlittle band.

PRINCE RUPERT JOURNAL\nFriday, September 2, 1910\nLUMBERMEN'S  CASE\nI\nThe Claims of British Columbia Timber\nInterests Ably Presented.\nSir   Wilfrid   Laurier   Hears   Representations During His Tour\nto West\nG. F. Gibson, who presented the\ncase for the lumbermen of British\nColumbia before Sir Wilfrid Laurier\non his recent visit, reviewed at length\nthe situation as affecting that Industry.   He said:\u2014\n\"We desire to bring once more to\nyour attention certain matters relat\nIng to our industry. We refer first\nto the rough lumber Importations\nWe think that there is no other Industry in Canada which In Its operation contributes so largely proportionally under the customs duties as\nthe lumber maunfacturing industry.\nTools, saws, machinery, belting,\ncamp supplies and foodstuffs are all\nprotected. Further, to an extent not\nrealized in other parts of the dominion, we are handicapped in our operations by certain regulations which\ncheck the immigration to this province of the class of people we require\nto help in our mills. This is further\naggravated by the fact that settlers'\ntransportation rates apply only as far\nwest as Calgary, and our province is\nthus shut out from any benefits\nwhich may accrue to immigrants in\nthe matter of cheap transportation.\nDisadvantages Geographically\n\"Our geographical situation subjects us to the heaviest cost for\ntransportation of supplies, and also\nsubjects us to the heaviest freight\ncharges In sending our goods to the\nmarket. The same cause cont*'ibutes\nto the increased cost of living, and\nnecessitates the paying of a higher\nscale of wages here than in the prov-\nineesh further east, and when it is\ntaken into account the varloush hazards our raw material, our plants\nand stocks are subject to by fire and\nby storm, we feel that in the matter\nof protection of our industry in our\nnatural markets less consideration\nhad been extended to ours than to\nany other industry in this dominion.\nAs to Duties\n\"The duty levied by the United\nStates on both our rough and dressed\nproduct, practically shuts us out of\nthat market and a large proportion\nof the mills in this province is\nwholly confined to the nearby Canadian markets In disposing of their\nproducts.\n\"Notwithstanding all this, we are\nsubjected to an unfair competition in\nour market, no more than 75 per\ncent of our total cut, from the Importations of American lumber coming in duty free, which lumber Is in\nall respects as favorably situated and\nfrequently more so as ours In the\nmatter of freight rates and transportation, and so makes use of our market as a dumping ground for surplus\nstock.\n\"We respectfully submit that such\nconditions impose a serious hardship\nupon our Industry.\n\"Further, when we consider that\nthe greater bulk of our foodstuffs\n(all amply protected) are purchased\nby us from the provinces lying to the\neast of us, we feel more than ever\nthat the arrangement of our customs\ntariff is not at all an equitable one\nas regards the lumber manufacturers.\n\"Some idea of what this Importation means as an economic loss to\nthe lumber interests of this country\nand the Industries and labor associated with them can be gathered from\nthe  following  figures:\n\"During the year ending aMrch 31,\n1910, pitch pine, which is a direct\ncompetitor with the British Columbia\nfir and enjoys the advantage of\ncheaper transportation to our eastern markets nnd cheaper labor in its\nproduction, entered into Canada duty\nfree to the exient of 10,000,000 feet,\nvalued at $416,000; square limbers,\n$60,000; plunks and boards, not\ndressed   more   than   one  shlde,   7 7,-\n000,  feet, $1,621,000;  total, $2,-\n0S7,UU0.\nFree Imports\n\"During the three months ending\nJune 30, 11)10, 39,000,000 feet of\nlumber, valued at $475,000, came\nInto Canada duty free.\n\"A large part of the value of lumber lies in wages paid for its manufacture. On this basis during the\nfifteen months ending June 30, 1910,\nIt is estimated that not less than $2,-\nOun.OOO In wages which should have\nbeen paid to Canadian wage earn\nersh, was paid to alien labor for the\nmanufacture of lumber In a country\nfrom whose markets our lumber Is\ndebarred.\nNeed  Protection\n\"The   lumber   manufacturers!!   of\nBritish Columbia respectfully maintain that under such conditions as\nthe foregoing, it Is the duty of our\ngovernment to preserve for them the\nnatural, and to a large extent their\nonly market, and in the contemplated\nnegotiations for reciprocal trade relations with the United States, we\ntrust you will see that when lumber\ncomes up for discussion, the interest\nof the lumber manufacturer will be\ntheir first consideration\nConditions whim existed a few\nyears ago as to lumber supplies, have\naltogether changed\n\"It Is a fact that in the manufacture of lumber In British Columbia\nfrom the time of lis Inception where\nactual loss has not. been Incurred, the\nprofit realized from it has been less\nthan could have been derived from\nthe investment of the same capital in\nordinary mortgage securities.\n\"The subject of cedar shingles, the\nmanufacture of which is also a very\nImportant industry in this province,\ngiving employment to a great number of men, requires the very special\nattention of your government.\nAmerican Shingles Free\nAmerican shingles are admitted into Canada duty free. Canadian shingles going into the States pay a duty\nof 50 cents per M. Until August 5,\n1909, the American duty was thirty\ncents per M, but from that date under the provisions of the Payne-Ald-\nrich bill it was advanced to the first\nnamed figure, and the volume of\nbusiness, which in spite of the 30\ncent handicap had been very considerable, has now almost ceased.\nShingle  Industry\n\"We contend that it is not reasonable to expect any one industry in\nthis Dominion to bear an undue share\nof the burdens common to all, and\nthis ocr industry has been doing for\nyears, and once again earnestly present to your government our request\nfor relief.\"\n o\t\nA MIGHTY ARMADA\nKing  George  Recently Reviewed Vast\nNaval Forces off\nTorbay.\nLeviathan Vessels   of   British Fleet\nTook Part in the Picturesque\nExercises\nA. description of the mighty armada reviewed off Torbay by King\nGeorge is given in the London Daily\nExpress:\u2014\nOnce more the weather cleared up\nfor the benefit of the King. When the\nmorning gun boomed from the\nDreadnought at 8 o'clock, the spit of\nflame found lurid reflection in a\ndense sea fog, through which the\nroyal yacht loomed like a shadow.\nPeople ashore murmured, disappointed at the pitiful weather. On\nMonday wind and rain caused the\nabandonment of the royal programme. Today fog and drizzle\npromised to bring about a like result.\nBut as the morning wore on there\ncame an improvement. What sailora\nexpressively term the \"dirt\" that was\nobscuring the bay began to thin and\nroll up. One after another the forms\nof the warships stole out, shrinking\nto their proper proportions as they\nstood forth in clear-cut shape.\nThe land stealthily unfolded its\npanorama, and presently the sun\ngleamed down on the waters.\nThe over-night arrangements had\nbeen that at 4 o'clock In the morning the \"Blue\" force of the late\nmanoeuvres, commanded by Admiral\nSir Edmund Poe, and comprising the\nAtlantic and Mediterranean fleets,\nshould put to sea, and that six hours\nlater the \"Red\" force, commanded\nby Admiral Sir William May, and\ncomprising the home fleet and\ncruiser squadrons, should leave In\nsearch of the \"Blue\" enemy and\nbring him to action.\nThe whole fleet unmoored ship at\ndawn nnd remained riding to single\nanchor, but not a vessel bad stirred\nfrom her berth at gunfire.\nAs the fog cleared away, two or\nthree cruisers moved out of the lines\nand wont off, grey and smoking, seawards. Signalling was carried on by\nsearchlights, for bunting and semaphore were scarcely distinguishable.\nThen several destroyers came from\nDartmouth, having on board nearly\nall the cadets from the Royal Naval\ncollege there. Among them was the\nPrince of Wales, who was transhipped with a hatch to the Dreadnought,\nbut shortly afterwards went in a\nsteam pinnace to the royal yacht, at\nthe top of the gangway steps of which\nthe Queen was waiting to receive\nhim, The weather cloths, which had\nbeen laced around the royal yacht's\ndecks to meet Monday's gale, had\nnot yet been removed.\nOn the battleships and cruisers\nblue jackets in No. 1 rig and marines\nin scarlet tunics clustered along the\nsides in readiness for some coming\nevent. About half-past ten Admiral\nMay went alongside the royal yacht\nin his steam barge, and the King, in\nthe undress uniform of the admiral\nof the fleet, stepped aboard the tiny\ncraft, which flew the royal standard\nfrom Its diminutive mast.\nThe little craft passed across the,\nhead of the great armada and made a\nleisurely progress between all the\nlines.\nAs she pased each ship in succession the side was manned and the ensign lowered to the dip. His Majesty,\nwho seldom had his hand removed\nfrom his brow In acknowledging the\nrunning salutes, frequently interrogated Sir William May.

According to the terms of today's meeting between Barry and\nArnst, the latter must go to England\nto give his unsuccessful challenger\na race on the Thames.

Mcintosh, who has done\nmuch to make the \"game\" what It\nshould be, and has won a reputation\nas the most successful fight promoter\nof today, would indeed be a red letter fixture for the sporting community of this district.\nMr. Mcintosh looks upon Vancouver as an excellent centre for such a\ncontest, and during his brief stay in\nthe city he ascertained the existence\nof a desire for a big fight carried out\non business-like lines, and the fact\nthat Vancouver Is located easy of\naccess for sporting fans of Seattle\nand other surrounding cities,\nprompts him to favor it as an excellent site for the meeting between\nLang and Ketchel.\nINTEREST IN SPORT\nOne of the most encouraging signs\nof modern Italian life is the increasing interest shown in sport of all\nkinds, and especially in physical\neducation.

L. V. York, of the Capital\neleven, having won the toss, elected\nto go to bat and in the forenoon play\nthe locals ran up a score of a little\nover a century. This was not considered anything like sufficient to assure Victoria a victory.\nOn that account the performance\nof the Vancouver team in the afternoon was followed with Intense Interest by the 800 or more spectators\nwho had gathered. However, the\nVancouver batters found it difficult\nto stand against the trundling of the\nhome team's fast and deadly bowler\nLouis York. Wickets fell fast and\nVancouver was still eighteen short of\nthe mark when eight of their men\nhad retired. But four more were\nadded when the final couple of wickets went down and the cup had fallen Into Victoria's possession for the\n1910 season. Both teams were ac\ncorded an enthusiastic ovation.\nGAMA IS THE RAGE\nGama, the Hindu wrestler, who\ntook London by storm when he threw\nDr. Roller, the American grappler,\nwho was once spoken of by Frank\nGotch himself as the likely world's\nchampion, seems to be a wrestler ot\nthe Fred Beel type with more weight\nand strength than the Wisconsin\nwonder ever carried. The Hindu\nstands but five feet seven and one-\nquarter Inches, but his chest measurement of forty-seven inches, with\na waist line of thirty-five and othei\nmeasurements to match. But for all\nthis chunky build the Indian appears\nto be able to move round. English\nexchanges to hand with an account\nof the match show Gama to havo\nhad the best of the argument almost\nall the way through. The Daily\nChronicle expert writes In part ot\nthe match as follows: \u2014\n(lama showed his wonderful\nstrength by the easy way in which\nhe lifted Roller from his feet and\nthrew him to the floor. The American\nwent down three-quarters on hist\nback, but oft the mat, and the two\nwere made to resume standing up\nwith the Indian In complete posses-\nslon or his body hold.\n\u25a0 dan a tlu\"\u25a0'\u25a0 his man down again,\nand quick as a lightweight, [ell upon\nhim and hugged him until Roller was\nforced to drop his right shoulder,\nthe lefl h ing already on the floor.\n.',11 this happening In the space of\na little more than :i minute nnd a\nhalf caused one to think kindly of\nthe  A in n-    I' at   iie bad  not  bad\ntime to show bis ability owing to the\nspeed of I lie Indian's movements.\nOne always likes to think Ilk i tha\nof a stranger, but in the second and\nlai i   bout,   Rollc i   c;:!  havs li ne  to\nihow   his  quality, I I\niwn, then   wo    I      Ions lit-\n[c\nher .\u25a0 '   '    X 0 '     1\n\u25a0  c       i \u25a0  \u2022 mat,\nI fooled\nnine feinting,, the\n|  instead   of\nfact thai     . ho in a  few\nshort minutes of wrestling had developed a respect for his opponent\nthat showed itself almost painfully.\nThe Indian toyed about by diving for\nthe legs and then looking at his opponent to watch what he did. It was\napparent to the veriest trio In wresting that each time the Indian dived\nthe American went all off his balance, and was painfully open to attack,\nstraightened up  more  quickly  than\nAfter the last dive the Indian\nusual, went straight for a hold, and\nthrew Roller to the floor once more.\nThe American Btraightway was in a\nhopeless plight, but a bit of loose\nattacking by Gama (consequent, perhaps, upon the lack of seriousness\nwith which he regarded the opposition) enabled the American to wriggle to a position flat on the mat.\nWith the Indian on top there was\nevery chance for Roller to display at\nleast some amount of defensive\nwrestling that could be considered ot\nthe highest class.\nHe failed, however, to show much\nknowledge of how best to counter\nGama's attack; In fact, Roller appeared to be conscious of little besides the fact that he was being\nopposed by a stronger and more\nclever wrestler; that he was In no\nend of a tangle.\nAs the lost babe in the wood would\ncuddle tha fallen leaves that made\nfor him a couch, so did Roller cling\nto that mat, oblivious, as far as could\nbe judged by movements, as to what\nwas going to be done to his discomfort, but conscious, so very conscious,\nthat something distasteful was going\nto happen. The use of legs in defensive work was apparently unknown to the American, who failed\nto show himself as being in anything\nlike the same class as Gama.\nAs a \"contest\" the affair was absurd; in fact, Roller did not wrestle\nwell enough to give one an idea of\nhow good Gama is. You could only\nbe conscious of the fact that the Indian was uncountable degrees superior to the American.\nThere Is more than a chance of\nGama being seen in Montreal this\nwinter, for It is altogether likely that\nGeorge Kennedy, the Canadian promoter, will connect with the new sensation.\nON BISLEY TEAM\nCanada's big annual rifle meet, the\nD.

J. Corbett, is\na farmer boy, hailing from the \"show\nme\" state of Missouri, county of Gentry. His name is McLeod\u2014Miles\nMcLeod, but you pronounce is just\nas though it were spelled \"McLeed.\"\nAnd the remarkable thing about\nthis youngster of 28 years Is that he\nhas never done any fighting\u2014that is\nprofessional fighting. Of course, he\nputs on the gloves once In a while\nwith the neighbor boys, any one of\nwhom he can whip with one hand\ntied behind him, but he isn't a professional\u2014yet. He has everything to\nlearn, but\u2014and R'b a great big but\u2014\nhe has not old tricks to unlearn.\nStood up by the side of Johnson he\nwould tower five and three-quarter\ninches above the black man. He is\nas strong as a bull, and just as wiry,\nagile and quick as you can get 'em.\nHe Is not a college bred man. He\nIs just a farmer boy, a physical giant,\nbut does not claim to be much of an\nathlete. But he is willing to train,\nand be is anxious to fight.\nThis Is what he has to say about\nhimself:\n\"If Mr. Corbett says I can lick\nJohnson, I'll sure enough lick him.\nI've never seen a man I'd refuse to\nfight, and I am anxious to fit myself\nto meet the negro. I want to fight\nhim, and will fight, providing the\nmatch can be arranged and Mr. Corbett has sufficient confidence in me.\"\nAnd when he goes into training he\nwill not have to quit smoking or\ndrinking, because he never began to\nsmoke or drink. He has lived a clean\nmental, moral and physical life, and\nwhen it comes to material fitness,\nwell\u2014he has pitched a whole lot of\nMissouri hay, and shoved a plow\naround miles of Missouri fields, and\nhe has gone to bed early and got up\nearly, and eaten clean wholesome\nfood prepared by his mother.\nCorbett got a gooc look at McLeod, in Chicago, when the latter's\nbrother, Walter, pointed him out to\nCorbett. Corbett was enthusiastic\nabout the Missouri lad, and it is generally believed by the initiated that\nhe is going back to Missouri some\nday and take Miles in hand And,\nagain, it lsn\"t Improbable that Mc\nLeod will begin to train on his own\ninitiative.\nHcLeod's parents are of Scotch descent. They are of the sober, industrious law-abiding type, and they\ndon't take very kindly to their son's\npugilistic aspirations. Mr. McLeod\nis firm in his purpose, and is willing\nto tote the \"white man's burden\"\nand wrest back the supremacy of\nhis color whenever Corbett gives the\nword.\nAnyway, keep him well in mind,\nbecause he Is almost sure to bob up\non page one of the newspapers some\nday.\nIn comparison with Johnson, McLeod shows more of the perfect man.\nHe is five and three-quarter Inches\ntaller, has the advantage of nine and\na half inches in reach, and Is broader\nacross the shoulders and deeper of\nchest.

The cases developed into more or less of an Inquiry into the conduct of a member\nof the police court, Sergt. Regan.\nAlex Manson prosecuted on behalf of\nthe city, while L. W. Patmore appeared as counsel for the accused.\nTwo charges were laid against the\nwoman, that of being drunk and disorderly and that of keeping a house\nof ill-fame.\nThe evidence for the prosecution\nwas largely that of the police officers\nSergt. Regan who made the arrest,\nand Police Officer McEwen, who assisted him. They testified that the\nwoman was drunk and was in front\nof her house on the morning in question about four o'clock. The chief\nof police and other officers testified\nshe was drunk when she reached the\nstation.\nSergt. Regan was subjected to a\nsearching cross examination by Mr.\nPatmore. He denied that he was\ndrunk himself. He had not been\ndrinking for six weeks before that\ntime. He never went into Italian\nJim's place that night and asked for\na drink. He denied that he struck\nthe woman or that he used undue\nforce in making the arrest. He denied also that his conduct was Improper in the house or In any other\nhouse that night. The woman was\nin front of her house and used abusive language to him. She resisted\narrest. He did not refuse her request to return to the house and\nput on different garments. He was\nsuffering, he said, from rheumatism\nand left the next day for Harrison\nHot Springs.\nPolice Officer McEwen's evidence\nwas largely corroborative of Sergt.\nRegan as to the woman's conduct.\nHe said the woman had said later\nthat she would have pleaded guilty\nbut Mr. Patmore told her not to do\nso.\n\"It that so?\" laughingly asked Mr.\nManson of the opposing counsel.\n\"it Is only one of the police lies,\"\nreturned Mr. Patmore, \"there are\nlots of them.\"\nWalter Scrimgeon, who worked at\nthe Comox Club, testified that the\naccused appeared to be drunk.\nUnder cross examination he said\nhe never tipped Regan.

He had knocked\nher down.\nAnother woman from Comox av-\nenuv gave evidence that Regan had\nbeen in her place and acted improperly on the night In question.\nMr. Patmore during the examination of his witnesses called to the attention of the magistrate that the\nstories told by them were quite different from what they had told him\nas counsel. He explained that it was\nimpossible to get these women to\nmake any statements that reflected\non the police because they feared\npersecution Just as was being done\nin the case before the court. He\nargued that the whole case was one\nof attempting to get even with this\nwoman which was not right. If a\nrestricted area existed there should\nbe no persecution allowed but all\nshould be treated alike.\nxne magistrate dismissed the ease.\nHe said he did not think that Regan\nwas drunk. Even believing the evidence for the prosecution he could\nnot convict. Under the act it was\nnot only necessary to prove that the\nperson was drunk, but that a disturbance was being created. There\nwas no disturbance, he believed, up\nto the time of the arrest. There was\nno evidence of the case being one of\nviolation under the vagrancy clause.\nIn the absence of a bylaw of the city\ndealing with the conditions he could\nnot convict.\nThe police magistrate the next day\nbanded down a written judgment in\nthe case in which he entirely exonerated Sergt. Regan, giving as his\nopinion that there was nothing to\nshow that he was guilty of impropriety in connection with the matter.\nUpon the conclusion of the hearing of the charge of being drunk and\ndisorderly, the prosecution asked\nthat the second charge that of conducting a house of ill fame, be heard.\nMr. Patmore said here was a first\nclass instance of persecution. This\nwas not a prosecution, but a persecution.\nEvidence was produced by the\npolice that the woman was a resident\nof Comox avenue in the \"restricted\ndistrict.\" That she admitted herself\nthe character of life she led, The\nchief said' she lived on Comox avenue, \"a district set aside for the\npurpose.\"\nMr. Patmore argued that there was\nno doubt in the minds of all as to\nthe character of Comox avenue. The\nauthorities knew of It. In a prosecution, however, actual proof had to be\nproduced. There would have been\nnothing of this case had the woman\nnot been mixed up In the Regan case\nIt was a case of persecution. Why\nshould this woman be fined If the\nothers were not?\nThis morning the police magistrate\ngave judgment on the second count.\nHe found the woman guilty and after\nseverely reprimanding her, inflicted\na fine of $15 and costs, which was\npaid.\n o  \u2022\nJ.

The new flag is a strange\ncombination of the British and Danish flags in about equal proportions.\nIt is chiefly remarkable zoologically.\nThe field of the flag is filled with silhouettes of quaint beasts that never\nwere on sea or land.\nA careful observer can count about\ntwenty of them. Mostly they are lionlike. On the British half of the flag\nthere are seven lions, six passant,\none rampant. Denmark not only contributes some quaint lions of her own\nto her half of the flag, but throws\nIn two horses, a winged dragon, a\nswan, a falcon, a goat and a seated\nbear.\nAn explanation of the meaning of\nthe various Danish symbols may be\nof Interest. The three red lions on\na blue ground in the top left corner\nof the flag represent the original\nnational coat of arms of Denmark,\nthe number having reference to the\nthree principal sounds of Denmark,\nand the color to the sea. Tho two\nlions In the top right band corner\nrepresent Schleswlg. Below is another Hon, with water Hies beneath\nit, as an emblem of Ihe King's\nsovereignty over the people of Gotland. The dragon typifies His Majesty's rule over Wenden, on the Pomeranian coast.\nSweden is represented by the three\ncrowns on the left side of the shield.\nThe white falcon stands for Iceland,\nthe white bear for Greenland and the\ngoat for the Faroe Islands, in which\ngoat breeding is a staple industry.\nOn the smaller shield in the centre are represented the titles of the\nKing of Denmark, who, besides being\nLord of the Goths and Wendish people, is Duke of Schleswlg Holsteln,\nStormarn, Ditmarsken, Lauemborg,\nOldenborg and Delmenhorst.\nThe nettle leaf in the top left corner of the small shield represents\nllo'stein, the swan Stormarn, the\nhorse's head Ditmarsken, and the\nman on horseback Lauemborg.

Shortly before noon yesterday the big steamer drew into the\nG. T. P. wharf with a heavy cargo\nfor the G. T. P. and Foley, Welch &\nStewart. She brought a large shipment of coal which was most welcome to the officials of the line who\nwere at their wits' ends to know what\nto do for a supply until the timely\narrival of the freighter.\nWhen the G. T. P. took over the\nfleet of Capt. S. F. Mackenzie, the\nRupert City was not included. Since\nthat time, however, the increasing\ntrade has made it necessary for the\ncompany to charter her, and it. Is reported the company has taken an option for purchase. She is to be operated purely as a freighter and upon\nproving her suitability for the trade\nwill depend likely whether she will\nbe bought.\nThe G. T. P. have determined not.\nto interfere with the running schedules of their palatial passenger\nsteamers Prince Rupert and Prince\nGeorge. To handle any considerable\namount of freight on these necessb\ntates delays and the management accordingly will turn over all the heavy\nfreight to the steamers Rupert City\nand the Henriette. The passenger\nvessels will then carry only perishable goods such as can be loaded and\ndischarged in the time at present allowed.\nIt is reported in Vancouver that\nthe steamer British Columbia, a new\nvessel on the coast, has been purchased by the Grand Trunk Pacific\nand that she will replace the Bruno\non the Queen Charlotte-Prince Rupert run.\nThe Rupert City brought In addition to the large coal cargo, a large\nconsignment of dump cars for the\nrailway contractors.\nNEW COAST STEAMER\nThe growth and Importance of the\nshipping trade of this coast is well\nexemplified In the latest move in\nlocal shipping, the advent of the Balcom Steamship Company as a serious\nfactor In the business between Victoria and the north. The company\nis securing a steamer for the northern trade about the same size as the\nPrincess Charlotte, although she- is\nnot quite so speedy. The name of\nthe steamer is not given, but it Is\nunderstood that she will be a fine\nboat and will be fitted as a first class\nmodern passenger and freight carrier. Capt. Balcom, the head of the\nnew Arm, says:\u2014\n\"The steamer which Is offered to\nme, and which I shall take if she\nproves to he up to the specifications,\nhas been plying between Spain and\nLondon and Liverpool, engaged in\nthe fruit trade. She Is 33fi feet long\nand has a cargo capacity of 1,760\ntons dead weight. One great feature\nof*her fittings Is that she has refrigerator space for 300 tons.\n' The speed of the boat Is 16 knots,\nand she Is in every way adapted to\nthe service between Victoria and the\nnorth. I am going to England next\nmonth, and if the steamer proves to\nbe all right she will be fitted with\nmodern housework, her accommodation In that respect being at present\nof the ocean variety.\n\"We are at present,\" continued the\ncaptain, \"operating the John L.\nCard to and from Puget Sound In\nthe general freighting business, and\nwe take the Gralner and the Selkirk\nwhenever we can get them. These\nhandle the business so far. I expect\nto see the business of these coast\ncities grow by leaps and bounds,\nhowever, and there will be plenty of\n\"WHERE  QUALITY IS KING.'\nGEO. D.
