I, NO. 7\nPrince Rupert, B.C., Monday, May 9, 1910.\nPrice. Five Cents\nING GEORGE V.\njl'he New Monarch Commences Official Duties To-day\u2014\nThe World's Peace\u2014Funeral Will Be Friday,\nMay 20\u2014Carrington is Lord\nHigh Chancellor.\nLondon, May 9,\u2014The spirit of\niitish fair play towards the King\ntout to ascend the throne has brought\nilout a truce between the political\n^ders of all parties. The House of\nAds issue has been shelved for a year.\nipg George was proclaimed King this\n(jrning when he rode with heralds,\nIteuivants and knights of the Garter,\nw>rted by Lifeguards, all in a gorgeous\niftoply, to Temple Bar, where they\nare received by the Lord Mayor in\n8 robes of office.\nThe proclomation was read by the\n(frd Mayor. A herald reads the pro-\namation at Temple Bar and rising\n. his saddle challenges an opponent of\n^ng George to declare himself. It\nB custom of a thousand years which\ns been faithfully carried out.\nThe Funeral.\nI King George is anxious not to spoil\ni'hit Monday, a holiday of the lower\npasses, and wants the funeral to take\n\u2022ijiace on Saturday instead of the follow-\nijjjjg Tuesday, but the date is still un-\niijartain.\n|| The burial will be at Frogmore, where\n;:;!irince Albert and Queen Victoria are\njpterred.\nThe coronation will probably take\n\u25a0'\u25a0 lace six months hence.\nThe World's Peace.\nKaiser William of Germany says he\nid his late uncle, King Edward,\ninpe to a perfect understanding\nfcis life to maintain the peace of the\naild. King George has made a declara-\nfto follow in his father's footsteps. It\nproduced a strong impression in\nhis favour and the British are already\noptimistic that the reins are in another\nfirm hand. King George is thoroughly\nEnglish, much more so than his father,\nwhich fact is thoroughly appreciated\nby his subjects.\nThe Funeral Arrangements.\nThe body of the late king was Viewed\nby the old servants on Saturday, and\nis probably closed from mortal eyes\nby this time. There will be no lying\nin state.\nKing George and his court have\nmoved to Windsor.\nIt will be awkward if ex-president\nRoosevelt turns up for the funeral.\nAs a private citizen he cannot appear\nin the procession amoung royalties,\nand as an |ex-president he cannot be\nrelegated to the tail end. In the event\nof his coming he will probably not\nappear in the procession, but go straight\nto a seat in the building.\nMost of the crown heads of Europe\nare likely to attend the obsequies.\nQueen Sends Thanks.\nVancouver, May 9,\u2014Knollys cables\nQueen Alexandra's thanks for the condolences from the Presbyterian Synod\nof British Columbia, now in session\nhere.\nThe Mayor and Japanese consul\nhave sent messages of sympathy per the\nDominion authorities.\nThe criminal assize court adjourned\nhere in the middle of a murder trial.\nThe jury was discharged.\nA public memorial service day has\nbeen declared by Mayor Taylor. It will\nbe held in Recreation park on the day\nof the funeral.\nSPECIAL PRAYERS SAID\nall the Churches for the Royal\nFamily.\n*\nr\necial reference was made in all\nchurches yesterday to the death\niKing Edward VII, and special\nlyers were said for the Royal Family\n1 the British Empire in its hour\naffliction. The pulpits were all\nt|)ed with purple and black and the\nn Jack. A special memorial ser-\nwill be held by the three protestant\nches on the day of the funeral\ne Empress Theatre.\nthe First Presbyterian church,\nI Mr. Ross made the following\n*ence to our late King, during the\naing service:\u2014 Preaching from the\nt, \"But they that wait upon the\nd shall renew their strength: they\nII mount up with wings as eagles:\"\nRoss, in conclusion, said: To-day\nonly does the Royal Family grieve\nloss of one near and dear by t'he\nof nature, but every true citizen\nle British Empire mourns the death\neir loved and esteemed King.\nt only does the Royal Family\nthe British Empire mourn his\nn death, but the whole world\nns the removal of an unequalled\nmat, and universal peace maker.\nis true that the late King never\nthe place in the hearts of his\npeople that his good old mother Queen\nVictoria did. Different reasons could\nbe given, reasons which need not be\nremembered or mentioned now.\nAgain, while this be true, he succeeded\nduring the few short years of his reign\nin winning the admiration of the world\nin a way in which no monarch for centuries back has been able to secure.\nIt may be difficult to understand\nwhy such removal should be made at\nthis critical period in the history of\nBritish affairs; why such an all round\ndiplomat, such a universal peacemaker\nshould be taken away at such a critical period in the history of Ihe world,\nat a time when so much nervousness\nand unrest prevails among the nations\nWhatever may be our misgivings,\nwhatever may be the mistakes of\nearthly kings, we may safely take for\ngranted that the great over Ruler, the\nKing of Kings, makes no mistakes.\nLike all others of rank and position,\nthe late King Edward VII was criticized, and oft times even slandered.\nWhatever may be said about him as\na Prince, the general opinion is that\nnothing but good could be justly said\nof him as a king and ruler.\nAs servant and ruler of the Empire\nhe was never above stooping to assist\nthe poorest, the humblest and lowliest\nof his subjects. If, as the Master himself said, \"Inasmuch as ye have done\nunto one of the least of these, my\nbrethren, ye have done it unto me.\"\nIf that be true, then, he who waited\ni upon his people must have at the same\n; time waited upon the Lord, and if such\n; reasoning holds good may we hope and\nj believe that he was often among those\nwho waited upon his God. And may we\nnot be mistaken in our hopes when we\nbelieve in the closing scenes of life\nhe was.not only borne on eagle's wings,\nbut clear, when he said \"I think I\nhave.done my duty.\" And since the\nLord of all the earth makes no mistakes, may this dispensation of his\nprovidence so affect the internal\ncondition of the Empire and the general weal of the world that we, as\nBritish subjects, and representatives\nof the outside world as our sympathizing\nbrethren may be able to say \"Not\nmy will but Thine be done: the Lord\nhath given, the Lord hath taken away,\nblessed be the name of the Lord.\"\nRev. Father Bunoz.\nVery Rev. E. M. Bunoz, O. M. J.,\nin the Catholic Church on Sunday morning during his sermon said among other\nthings, \"We are lamenting the death\nof our king. The king, for us, is the\nembodiment of the temporal power\nof that special system of government\nwhich rules over the destinies of that\nEmpire of which Canada is a part. Our\nloyalty is all the more firm because it\nrests, not in blood or sentiment, but\non principle, on conscience and faith.\nWe p,iy obedience and respect to the\nking, for such is the command of God\nand when a king is fair to all, and\nendeavours to give a just government\nto all his subjects, we add to our loyalty in this regard, feelings of gratitude\nand love. King Edward, whose death\nwe are lamenting, was one of those. We\nmust, therefore, unite with the wave of\nsympathy in mourning that sovereign of the British Empire and applaud\nto the high tributes and praises that\nare paid to his dear memory.\"\nRev. C F. Connor.\nThe British nation has, this week,\nbeen called upon to pass through an\nexperience which has both startled\nand stunned it.\nAlbert Edward, Prince of Wales,\nascended the throne left vacant by\nthe death of his mother the late, much\nbeloved, Queen Victoria, in 1901, as\nEdward VII. At that time unpleasant\nI rumors were circulated about his manner\nof life and the nation feared, in silence,\nl Their fears have not been realized.\n. During the nine short years of his\nreign the Empire has been at peace,\nand blessed with prosperity. Diplomatic relations were never better, and\nthe late king was familiarly called\nj Edward the Peacemaker.\nNow, at the very important crisis\nbetween the Lords and Commons, God\n' has seen fit to remove him from the\nJ scene of action. Upon a younger man\nfalls the responsibility, and the nation\ni hesitates. What will the years bring\n! forth? It seems as if the voice of God\nspeaks as of old, \"Speak unto the people\nthat they go forward.\" With no lack\n! of feeling or respect do we use these\nwords. We pauSe by the open grave,\nas it were, to pay our last respects\nI and offer a tribute to the late King\nwho tried to do his best. But the de-\n,'mands of the day make it imperative\n! that we again fall into line and move\nJ forward.\nBy those far removed from the\nscene of action, the loss may not be\nfelt so keenly.From the thoughtless may\neven come words of disrespect; but,\nwhatever may have been the errors\nof his younger days we know this\u2014he\ntried, and to judge by results, he\nsucceeded. The parts of the Empire\nare to-day, bound by closer ties than\nI ever. The Imperial feeling is stronger and more deeply implanted in the\nhearts of the people. And what more\nthan thisspeaks more strongly the assur-\nanceof peace to the world!.\nAn eloquent tribute to the place he\noccupied in the hearts of the people\nis given in the fact that he alone of\nthe sovereigns of the world, could\ntravel abroad in safety without an armed\nescort.\nThe uncertainty of the hour may bring\nto many privation and suffering; but\nyears ago the present crisis would have\nplunged the nation into civil war.\nHow devoutly we ought to thank God\nfor the changed conditions !. The easy\npassing of the present crisis may largely account for the more remote parts\nof the Empire being less deeply affected; this, however, is a greater reason\nfor a truer expression of grief. And tonight the Methodist church in Prince\nRupert unites with her sister churches\nin rendering this reward of tribute to\nthe great and beloved.\nAt St. Andrew's Hall\nOwing to the absence of Bishop Du\nVernet, who was in Metlakatla, the\nexpected report of the pulpit comments\nin St. Andrew's Hall cannot be given\nto-day.\nTHE ROCKS LAID BARE\nOFFICIAL PROCLAMATION.\nGeorge V.

F. M. Dockrell of Vancouver,\nT. E. & Mrs. Jefferson of New York,\nH. L. Hawkins of Seattle, C. D. Sellers\nof Black Diamond, Wash., and Howard\nSanford of Los Angelos, arrived on the\nRoyal Saturday night and registered\nat the Inn. They left this morning on\nthe Omineea to go up the Skeena to\nMorris River, where they have coal\nfields. They are taking up two diamond drills and a full outfit of supplies,\nas they will remain all season. They have\ncompleted the prospecting programme\nand this season will do a lot of development work. They have a very high\ngrade of. bituminus coal, which looks\ngood to them, and so far as they have\nbeen able to ascertain thus far, exists\nin large quantities. Before they leave\nthe mines they intend to know the full\nextent of the coal.\nThis Is the Season for Low Tides\u2014\nForeshores and Rocks That See\nthe Air for the First Time in\nSeven Years.\nThis is a year of extreme low tides.\nAnd the particular season when old Neptune will reveal some seldom seen\nstretches of his habitat is pretty nearly\ndue..\nLast year was one of the freak tides,\nbut this summer there will be a laying\nbare of mud flats and foreshore such as\nthere will not be seen again to quite such\na marked degree for another seven years.\nFor tides on this coast run in cycles of\nseven years\u2014and even at that no two\nyears are quite the same.\nCommencing to-day and continuing\nfor several days alter that there will be\nsome low tides that will show many a\nbare spot seldom uncovered. These will\nnot be the lowest tides of the year, however. They will go about six inches below extreme low springs\u2014and that is\npretty low.\nBut the real low ones will start about\nMonday, June 6, and for about a y\/pr'a\nafter that there will be occasions when\nas much as approximately two feet below extreme low springs will be laid bare.\nEarly in August again there will be\nmore receding of the waters that cover\nthe face of the earth in this particular\ncorner of the globe. They will not go\nquite as low as in June, but on a couple\nof days they will go several inches below the level of low springs.\nAlong in September, and also late\nin October there will be a few more\nsix-inch tides which will cause practically\nno current on those occasions. But\notherwise the tides will behave themselves fairly regular for the balance of\nthe year.\nThis morning between 7 and 8 the\ntide was almost zero. To-morrow it\nwill be lower.\nMurder Story Wrong.\nAs a result of a report of a murder\nin Lockport some weeks ago, Chief\nWynn sent constable Prescott of Jed-\nway over to investigate. The chief\nreceived a report this morning to the\neffect that there was nothing in the\nstory. The captain of the fishing trawler Kingsway heard it from Special\nConstable Beech.\nThe Ellis Lumber Co.\nMr. E. W. Chandler of Vancouver,\narrived on the Princess Royal and left\nto-day on the Port Simpson for the Ellis\nLumber Co's camps at Kitselas and\nvicinity. It is rumored that Mr. (\"handle r has purchased Mr Ellis' interests\nin the lumber company and will conduct the business himself. The Ellis\nLumber Co., is one of the largest concerts of the kind in Northern British\nColumbia, and the transfer means a\nbig thing for Mr. (\"handler.\nWhen Mr. Chandler was seen by the\nOptimist this morning he would neither\ndeny or confirm the report. He simply\nremarked that he never yet gave an\ninterview to a newspaper, not that he\nhad anything against them, but he did\nnot think the public would be interested in his affairs.\nNevertheless, Mr. Chandler is taking\nfour or five horses, and a lot of other\nnecessary material for a lumber camp\nup on the Port Simpson with him.\nArtificial Ice.\nThe Princess May will make a special\ntrip from Vancouver to Stewart, leaving\nthe south on May 25, calling here on\nthe 27th, and proceed to Steewart,\nwhere she will lay up for two days and\nthen return.\nThe steamer Henriette brought over\nthe first lot of fresh fish and of artificial ice from the Pacific Coast Fishing\nCo., of Queen Charlotte Islands. The\nconsignment was for the Prince Rupert\nFish market. The products of the Pacific\nFish Company will be a great boon\nfor Prince Rupert, and the ice plant\nwill assure the local people of plenty\nof frozen water for cooking purposes.\nThe Cetriana called in here Sunday\non her way south and took a number of\npassengers with her.\n THE PRINCE RUPERT OPTIMIST\nI\nThe Prince Rupert Optimist\nSteam* DAILY EDITION MONDAY, MAY 9\nKitselas, \u2014\n8 am.-Cloudy, POISONED ARROWS.\nWater 3 in. abo\\\nStr.
