The offender may be fined not\nless than $10 or not more than $100.\nSAYS BIG BOOM WILL COME\nIN THEJ.UMBER INDUSTRY\nPresident of the Red Cliff Lumber Company Gives Views\non the Present and Future Conditions of the Trade and\ntheir Bearing on the Prosperity of This District\u2014Movement Gradually and Surely In This Direction.\nStarting New Towns.\nBy the end of this summer there will\nbe at least one hundred and seventy\nr^w towns in Canada, not counting\nthose which come into existence gradually and in the natural course of evolution from clusters of houses, into hamlets and then into towns, The one hundred and seventy will all be in the\nwest\u2014the great' the glorious west.\nNot for them the humdrum processes\nof conventional development; they will\nspring, full-panoplied, into being, with\nhotels, court houses, jails and all the\nmodern improvements, on paper, and a\nsmall railroad station, a mile or so of\n.siding and unbounded hope and confidence in the future as actual assets.\nThe Canadian Pacific will be responsible for fifty of them, the Grand Trunk\nPacific for twenty-four, and the Canadian Northern for ninety-six. It is a\nfair supposition that all of them will\nlive because of the fostering care of\ntheir railroad and that most of them\nwill prosper because the time has come\nfor towns to succeed farms at selected\nlocations on the prairies, and the railroads are in a better position to do the\nselecting than any other instrumentality except land companies. Nor will\nthese railroad towns be the only communities to come into being in the\nwest in the next three or four months,\nbut from their number it is possible to\ndraw some kind of an impression of the\nmethod and the speed of western development.\n\"You cannot push the lumber manufacturing industry ahead of its time except to your sorrow, but when its time\ndoes come there is no force that can\nhold it back.\"\nSuch was the reply of A. E. Gilbert,\npresident of the Red Cliff Lumber and\nLand company, when asked by the Pioneer News on Wednesday night what\nthe prospects were of his company establishing a mill at Port Alberni in the\nnear future.\n\"Could you give any sort of a definite\nidea as to when the opportune time will\narrive?\" Mr. Gilbert was asked.\n\"I believe it will be two or three\nyears yet before lumber manufacturing\non a large scale is commenced in this\ndistrict,\" said he. \"It should not be\nlater than the opening of the Panama\ncanal, which event is billed for the year\n1915.\"\nMr. Gilbert is one of the most influential and most experienced lumber men\nin America. He carries in his head the\nfigures of the whole situation, and gave\nto the Pioneer News a most intelligent\nand exhaustive size-up of the present\nand future of the industry.\n\"People seem to get the impression\nfrom reading the newspapers that the\ndemand for lumber is as great or greater than the supply. This is wrong.\nThere is an overproduction on the Pacific coast at the present, and how to\nkeep down the output so that the manufacturers will not be at the mercy of\nthe buyer is a problem that is bothering the mill owners. In the states of\nWashington and Oregon a few mills\nhave recently been shut down, while\nthose that are still running have made\nan agreement to operate only five days\na week.\n\"Today the manufacturers of the\neastern and southern states supply the\nb:g markets, but they have reached\ntheir turning point. Their standing\nt'mber is vanishing, and from now on\ntheir output may be expected to decrease every year.   They   will  go the\nWedding In Alberni.\nClayton Hills, of Alberni, and Miss\nMargaret Dobbinson, of Nanaimo, were\nmarried on Sunday evening last, the\nRev. James Carruthers performing the\nceremony. The wedding was a quiet\naffair, only relatives and immediate\nfriends being present. The newly married couple will reside in Alberni, where\nboth are well known and popular.\nsame way Michigan, Minnesota and\nWisconscin have gone. Then with the\nopening of the Panama canal the Pacific lumber men will have their day, and\nthat day will mean much more to British Columbia than to the states across\nthe boundary line. The mill owners of\nBritish Columbia will be able to get the\nships for the carrying trade while the\nAmericans will not. The reason of this\nis that nearly all the lumber carrying\nships on the Pacific are British or other\nforeign vessels. Any of these will be\nprivileged to take on a cargo in a Canadian port and deliver it in an American\nport on the Atlantic coast, but they will\nnot be privileged to carry from one\nAmerican port to another. Any man in\nthe lumber manufacturing business\nknows the advantage today of being\nable to get what cars he requires to\ntake his product away as soon as it is\nready for shipment. The man who cannot get cars as he wants them is serir\nously handicapped in competition with\na man who always has them ready on\nhis side track. In the same way the\nshipping conditions will be all to the\ndisadvantage of the American manufacturer when the canal traffic begins.\"\nAsked if he did not think that the\ngeographical and shipping advantages\nof Alberni canal should induce some\nlarge company to locate here and manufacture for the Pacific export trade,\nMr. Gilbert said no mill could operate\nfor the Pacific export trade alone. Port\nAlberni would have to have rail transportation and a plentiful supply of cars\nbefore lumber manufacturing could be\ncarried on profitably on a large scale.\nThe trouble with the Pacific export\ntrade which, by the way, was credited\nwith being much more important than\nit really is, was that the seagoing ships\nloaded only certain sizes of lumber, and\na mill would also have to have a market\nfor the class of lumber which the ships\ndid not take. This market could only\nbe reached by rail.\n\"You are to have railway competition in Port Alberni, and the railways\nwill soon be carrying your manufactured product to all parts of Western Canada, even as far as Winnipeg and into\nthe United States.\"\n\"What effect do you think a consummation of the reciprocity pact would\nhave on the  lumber  manufacturing in\ndustry of  this part   of   Canada?\" Mr.\nGilbert was asked.\n\"It would make little or no difference,\" he replied. \"When the oppor-j\ntune time comes for the lumber manu- j\nfacturer in this country the small matter of $1.25 a thousand duty on lumber\nwill not count in the trade. The Canadian lumbermen are going to have free\naccess to the American market whether\nthe reciprocity treaty goes through or\nnot. The duty is bound to be taken off\nlumber entering the United States, and\nthat before very long.\n\"For the next two or three years the\nowners of timber limits in this country\nare most likely to let their trees stand.\nWhile they stand they increase in value,\nbut to commence cutting them, with\nthe lumber market overstocked as it is\ntoday, could mean nothing but loss.\nWhen the big manufacturing movement sets in trees will' be found to be\nworth two or three times their present\nvalue.\n\"You will have to wait a little while\nfor your lumber manufacturing boom\nbut you are sure to see something\nworth waiting for. It will be a bigger\nthing than any of you now imagine.\"\nThe railway companies might, as\nsoon as their lines were in operation,\nMr. Gilbert thought, endeavor to create some lumber carrying traffic for\nthemselves, and he could see the probability of a subsidiary company of\none or the other corporation launching\na mill to manufacture for the trade on\nthe prairies.\nMr. Gilbert, who was accompanied\nby his wife and G. Thomas, of Montreal, left on Thursday morning for his\nhome in Duluth.\nLives Lost In Fire\nat Silverton, B. C.\nA most disastrous fire occurred at Silverton. B. C, at an early hour Tuesday morning, totally destroying an entire block of the town, including the\nVictoria hotel, Windsor hotel, Mrs.\nCarey's grocery and W. H. Brandon's\nstore building, occupied by E. Patre-\nquin and family.\nRobert McTaggert, of Sandon; Robert Fairgrieve and F. L. Fairgrieve,\nbartenders at the Windsor, and a foreigner from Phoen:x, name unknown,\nwere burned to death in the Windsor.\nThe hotel register being burned other\nnames are not yet obtainable, and possibly others are also in the ruins.\nSeveral others stopping at the Windsor were badly burned and otherwise\ninjured, and were hurried to the hospital. The hotels were all crowded with\nguests and townspeople.\nFor Dominion Day.\nA general meeting of the Alberni\nAthletic club will be held on Tuesday\nevening next in the Court House commencing at 8 o'clock. Delegates from\nthe Port Alberni Athletic club are requested to be present and take part in\narrangements for a programme of\nsports to be held on Dominion Day. It\nis planned to make this year's national\nholiday the biggest success on record.\nWANTED\u2014Boy to milk and take care\nof cow morning and evening. Must\nbe good milker. Apply to Mrs. J.\nHeath.\nWill Have  Model Farm.\nThree acres of good soil, a few weeks\nago covered with big stumps, is now\nunder crop in the vicinity of the old\npaper mill. The man responsible for\nthis enterprise is F. H. Cleland, who\nhas plans for a small fruit and poultry\nfarm that should be a model for the district. Mr. Cleland let a contract for\nthe clearing of the ground to Max Enter\nwho operates a Ducrest stump puller,\nand, in record time, the land was ready\nfor the plow. Mr. Enter's work was a\nsplendid demonstration of what can be\ndone by modern methods, and the result was more than satisfactory to Mr.\nCleland, who found the ground ready\nfor farming just as soon as the contract\nwas complete. There was not a root of\na stump left in the soil, and, at that,\nthere had been some heavy ones to remove.\nA beautiful bungalow, designed by\nMr. Cleland and Robert Ellis, the builder, has just been finished on this property. The building is 40x44, with seven\nrooms, a bath room and pantry. The\nworkmanship is a credit to Mr. Ellis,\nand the,bungalow is a credit to the district.\nGeorge Forrest has a number of men\nengaged getting out piles for the new\ncold storage building and wharf to be\nerected at Uchucklesat. The piles are\nbeing delivered at the old government\nwharf on the Somas river.\nSELLING OUT!\nies and Farm Implements\nat Lowest Cash Prices.\nB. C.

F. Bledsoe, of Vancouver. The\nproperty was owned by the Alberni\nLand company and W. H. Marcon.\nWhen Mr. Bledsoe was in Alberni a few\nweeks ago he negotiated for the purchase of this property, but the part tf\nit belonging to the Land company was\nunder reserve and the agents had to receive permission from headquarters in\nEngland to sell. In the meantime Mr.\nBledsoe bought three lots at Southgate\nand Elizabeth street and was preparing\nto build a handsome residence thereon.\nThe building plans have now been\nchanged and the Bledsoe home, which\nis to be an ornament to the town of Alberni, will be built on the beautiful site\njust acquired.\nMarried This Morning.\nThe wedding took place this morning\nof Thomas Costen and Miss Alida\nShreike, both of Port Alberni, the ceremony being performed by Rev.

Frank Oliver and his political\nfriends are showing a questionable\namount of worry over an investigation\nthat is to be held as a result of a charge\nmade by one McGillicuddy that the minister had more money in a bank than\nhe could honestly account for. The extent to which the investigation may be\ncarried is seriously disturbing the minds\nof Mr. Oliver's defenders.\nIn order to prepare the public mind\nfor a restriction of the investigation a\npress agent has been engaged. The\nPioneer News is in receipt of some of\nthe defence literature which, it may be\nsupposed, has been sent to every newspaper in the west. It is an extract\nfrom the Monetary Times, reprinted in\nthe Ottawa Free Press of May 22, and\nmailed from the Dominion capital under\nthe free postage privilege enjoyed by\nmembers of parliament.\nThe Monetary Times, a publication\nthat deals principally with matters of\ncold dollars and cents, and is not looked\nto for expressions of personal sentiment, is painfully hurt in seeing \"the\nname of the Hon. Frank Oliver, minister of the interior, dragged into the\nmire of supposed scandal,\" but is able\nto dry its tears in the belief that he will\nclear himself.\nWhat concerns the Monetary Times\nmost is that the pending investigation\nmay be made searching enough to throw\nthe light, on Mr. Oliver's bank account,\nnot because of the minister's bank account in particular but because of the\nprecedent that would thereby be established. \"The office boy, the business\nman, the industrial corporation, all consider their bank account a matter of\nthe strictest privacy,\" says the Times,\nand it regards with horrified alarm the\nevent of this privacy being in any manner encroached upon.\nThe Monetary Times has either had a\nlamentably limited experience with\noffice boys, business men and industrial\ncorporations in the west, which part\nthe accused Mr. Oliver hails from, or\nhas been rendered temporarily irresponsible by an attack of hysterics.\nThe average office boy has just as\nmuch inclination to show a bank account, if he has one, as he has to show\na new watch. With the business man\nand the industrial corporation it is, of\ncourse, different, but in the general\ncase it is not nearly so serious as the\nTimes feigns to believe. Any number\nof business men leava their tank accounts lying aiound in places where the\nfigures may be seen by any and all of\ntheir employees. Naturally a business\nman would not care to throw his bank\naccount open for a daily public inspection, but if his commercial integrity\nhad been unjustly attacked to the extent that his credit was endangered,\nand he could restore confidence by merely allowing the contents of his bank\nbook to be made public, he would be a\nqueer case if he failed to do so.\nBut the Times forgets that the case\nof the office boy, the business man or\nthe industrial corporation is not a parallel for the case of Hon. Mr. Oliver,\nwho is a public man occupying one of\nthe most responsible offices in the gift\nof the country.    Mr.   Oliver   has been\naccused of having used his office to obtain a large sum of money for himself,\nand the accuser says that the proof of\nguilt is in the accused's bank account.\nMr. Oliver's defenders are horrified by\nthe suggestion that his bank account\nshould be exposed.\nIt looks very much as  if Mr. Oliver\nhas been caught with the goods on him.\nThe following item is taken from the\nVictoria Colonist of  May 28, 1861, fifty\nyears ago:\nThe schooner \"Meg Merrilies,\" Captain Phamplet, arrived in two days\nfrom Barclay Sound last evening. She\nbrought two or three passengers. The\nmill is running. Captain Stewart has\ncommenced wrecking the Florencia and,\nwith the assistance of Indians, is breaking her up. Lieut. Mayne's exploring\nparty has returned from Nanaimo.\nThe mill referred to was located where\nthe new  E. & N. wharf is now under\nconstruction.    Most of the old piles are\nstill there and are in a splendid state of\npreservation.\nThe Methodist conference at Calgary\npassed the following resolution on Saturday last:\n' 'That the Alberta conference declares\nitself in favor of union with the Congregational and Presbyterian churches\nin Canada, in accordance with the proposed basis as possessing the elements\nof perfect agreement in matters essential, of flexibility in things not essential, in deviations of doctrine, policy\nand ministry, administration and law,\nand as being calculated io immeasurably advance the Saviour's kingdom,\nparticularly in the western conference.\"\nG.

P. for Victoria,\nwho have returned from Ottawa, are\ntelling the people that the Conservative party of the Dominion is perfectly\norganized, in the best of fighting trim,\nand fully confident of carrying the\ncountry at the next general election\nwhich, it is believed, will be held in\nOctober or November.\nAccording to Hon. William Templeman there is practically no chance of\nany part of the Canadian navy being\nbuilt on the Pacific coast, the reason\ngiven by the minister being that the\ncost would be too high.\nA dispatch from Ottawa says that\nthe Government printing office is working day and night, the voters' lists for\nthe next election being the cause of the\ndoubled activity.\n' E.
