D. MANN COMES NORTH TO INVESTIGATE\n'It will become the greatest tourist\nroute in the world.\" These were the\nwords of D. D. Mann, of the Canadian Northern aRilway company, in\ndescribing hl\u00ab impressions of the trip\nup the coast to this city. Mr. Mann\narrived on the Prince R'-pert on\nWednesday evening accompanied by\nMrs. Mann and their son an' daughter. They went on to Stewart, where\nMr. Mann has heavy Interests. Mrs.\nMann and the family returned by the\nsame steamer, while Mr. Mann expects to spend about two weeks in\nthe mining centre, studying conditions thoroughly and laying plans for\nthe future.\nThe great railway builder had\nnever before made the trip along this\ncoast, although for years he has been\na frequent visitor to the Pacific, and\nlias had heavy interests in the north.\nHe had never been north of Vancouver before. It is not long ago that\nMr. Mann in conversation regarding\nthe north, expressed the opinion that\nthe G. T. P. had gone too far north\nin locating its terminus. That was\nbefore the rich discoveries had been\nmade here and the views that the\nrailway magnate expressed with respect to this port on Wednesday\nwould Indicate that he has changed\nhis opinion entirely in that respect.\nHe was delighted with the trip and\nsays there will within a very few\nyears be a tremendous rush of tourists along it. As stated above he\npredicts that it will be the most\nfrequented route for pleasure seekers in the world. Along the route,\nhe says, there were passed ideal spots\nin plenty for summer resorts, where\nthe best of fishing and hunting could\nbe enjoyed. These places will be\ntaken advantage of and there will be\na wonderful trend of travel this way.\nIn the short time at his disposal\nhere, Mr. Mann, piloted by an old\nfriend in the person of Thomas Dunn,\ncounsel In these matters. When he\nexpressed himself as well pleased\nwith what he saw in this city to a\nJournal representative, there was no\nquestion that he was delighted.\nDiscussing the plans which he had\nin view in visiting Stewart, Mr.\nMann said that he was simply going\nto study the whole situation as it\npresented itself and on the results\nof his investigations on the ground\nwould depend the future plans with\n\u2666 \u2666\u2666\u2666\u2666\u2666\u2666\u2666\u2666\u2666\u2666\u2666\u2666\u2666\u2666\u2666\u2666\u2666\u2666\u2666\u00bb\u2666\u25a0\u00bb\u2666\u2666\nGREAT TOURIST ROUTE TO BE DEVELOPED.\nSpeaking of the coast trip from the south to Prince Rupert,\nI). l\u00bb. Ma one of the heads of the Canadian Northern Railway\ncompany, says: \"It will become the greatest tourist route in the\nworld. I saw lots of places along the route where ideal summer resorts could lie located. These will he developed and an immense\ntraffic will be attracted to the const.\"\n\"\n\u25a0\u00bb\u2666\u00bb\u2666\u00bb O \u25a0\u00bb \u00bb~\u00bb \u2666\u2666\u2666\u2666\u2666\u00bb\u2666\u2666\u2666\u00bb\u00bb\u2666\u2666\u2666\u2666\nmade a tour ot Inspection about the\ncity. He was surprised at the development and it was quite evident that\nhe was quite taken with the city,\nespecially with its harbor. Those\nwho have had an acquaintance with\nMr. Mann know that they need not\nexpect any great effervescence in the\nway of praise for any place, me is\na man of action and not of sentiment. He is a man that does little\ntalking and prefers to keep his own\nrespect to the work there. \"We are\nrather heavily interested there,\" he\nsaid, \"and I want to go over the\nground myself.\" With regard to the\nreport that his company was getting\na charter from the Dominion government to build from Edmonton to\nBear River, he said there was some\nmistake about that. His company\nwere not seeking any charter from\nthe Dominion.\nMr. Mann was asked if his company intended to construct a line of\nrailway eastward from the present\nshort line being constructed at Stewart to open up the more northern\nportion of the province. He said that\nthat had not been decided upon yet.\nHe had no settled plans with respect\nto it and upon the results of his present investigations much in that connection would depend. From the\ntrend of Mr. Mann's remarks upon\nthe outlook in the northern mining\ncamp, one would be inclined to believe that he has in view the possibility of constructing in a more\nnortherly direction towards White-\nhorse. He says that the Information\navailable points to the mineral zone\nwhich lias been discovered at Stewart extending away norm in that direction as well as coming south to\nthe Xaas and the Babine.\nQuestioned as to the intentions of\nhis company with respect to erecting\na smelter at Stewart he said that\nthey had not considered It yet. He\nwas interested in the mining and the\nproviding of rail carriage for the ore\nthat was all in view at present.\nIn British Columbia Mr. Mann has\nthe greatest faith. When he speaks\nof its immediate future it is in the\nmost optimistic way. He has shown\nhis faith in the province by heavy\ninvestments and there is no question\nthat he intends to take his full share\nin developing every part of it.\nCONFESSES TO CRIME\nG T.

This week the city has been visited\nby the representative of the world-\nknown shipping firm of Alfred Holt\n& Co. Capt. Bartlett, of the steamer\nBellerophon which reached Vancouver a few days ago, made the round\ntrip by the steamer Prince Rupert.\nHis trip was made upon cabled instructions from his home company\nthat operates the Blue Funnel Line:\nto proceed to Prince Rupert and investigate the prospects for putting on\na service to this city as soon as the\nopportunities present themselves.\nCapt. Bartlett, who is accompanied\nby A. F. Haines, the general agent\nfor the company on the North Pacific\nCoast, will cable his report to the\nhome office at Liverpool as soon as\nhe returns to Vancouver.\nThe Holt steamers are among the\nheaviest carriers in what is designated the round-the-world service. The\nBlue Funnel liners belonging to this\ncompany make the run from the Old\nLand by way of the Suez, taking\nfeight to Indian and the Orient, making calls at Chinese and Japanese\nports and doing an immense trade\nnot only direct from Liverpool to\nAmerica, but also between intermediate ports.\nThe company has now in\/View the\nmaking of Prince Rupert? a regular\nport of .all fodUth^stflfmers. If this\nis done as the nearest port to the\nOrient and the first port of call on\nthe American continent, a very large\namount of the freight carried will be\nlanded here thus saving time in forwarding to its destination inland.\nThis, of course, would not be fully\ndeveloped until the G. T. P. finishes\nconstruction of its line, although it is\nprobable that owing to the fact that\nthe Blue Funnel liners, in common\nwith other trans-Pacific vessels, come\ncomparatively close to Prince Rupert on the way to the more southern ports, the vessels will make this\na port of call at a very early date\nand cater to the local trade.\nThe instructions to Capt. Bartlett\nwere to make full investigations as\nto the harbor here and as to the\nwharf facilities. This he has done,\nand will acquaint the home company\nwith the results.\nMAY BUILD ON ALLEY\nMayor Believes in Quick Action and\nSuggests Taking Street Ends\nfor Fire Hall\nHe Does Not Believe in Being Held\nUp By Little Obstacles And So\nExpresses Himself\nMINE IN TOWN SITE\nProperties Being Developed Right on\nCity Property at\nStewart.\nLocal Man Intrested in This Latest\nof Moves in .Northern\nMining Camp\nAmong tbe latest sensations from\nlie new mining centre at Stewart Is\nthe announcement that an excellent\nprospect is being developed right on\nthe town-site, Among those interested are .1.

THE PRINCE RUPERT JOURNAL\nFriday, July 2^, 1910\nOBSERVATORY INLET\nRich Territory Awaits Fuller Development According to\nJ. McGrath.\nWell Known Mining Man Predicts n\nBig Rush Into That Territory\nAt Early Date\nAmong the visitors to Prince Unpen Uii.s week has been Joseph McGrath, a prospector who lias tramped\ntin- bills i ally every country in\nthe world, and who is still as keen\non tin- scent of minerals as a man\ntwenty years younger. He came to\ntbe city lo outfit again for tbe Observatory Inlet country.\nOf the future of the northern part\nof British Columbia as a mining\ncountry, Mr. McGrath has the utmost\nfaith. It is, according to bis views,\nthe best offering anywhere in the\nworld at the present time and be has\nmade up his mind to stay with it. In\ncommon with the most of the practical mining men who have been over\nthe ground, he believes that the\nwhole north extending from Stewart\nand the headwaters of the rivers that\ndrain Into Portland Canal to the\nNaas Valley and possibly beyond ts\nall included In one vast mineralized\nsection.\nIt was he who located the Portland\nCanal mine In which C. U. . i\u00ab*\u00aba\nis Interested and which is now on\nthe eve of starting its concentrator.\nMr. McGrath still believes that the\nPortland Canal will be a great producer and he has likewise unbound-\ning faith in the whole of the Stewart district.\nObservatiry Inlet, he believes, Is\ndestined to be a marvellous producer\nhowever. M. K. Rodgers, who is developing the Hidden Creek, has\nspent about $400,000 on the mine\nand has a marvellous showing. About\nthis mine little is given out as the\npolicy ot Mr. Rodgers has always\nbeen to say little about bis properties.\nAt the present time tite great\ndrawback to that section of the country is the lack of transportalon facilities. The steamers all go to Stewart and Observatory Inlet is left without any regular mail or supplies.\nWhen a mining man wants supplies\nhe must get a launch or some other\nkind of craft and get out and secure\nhis own outfit. This is a costly undertaking and Mr. McGrath thinks\nthat if the merchants of Prince Rupert would only look a little ahead\nIt would pay them to make arrangements for a steady service and the\nopening of stores in the district. The\nwhole of that section of country\nmust eventually be tributary to this\nport and derive its supplies wholesale from here. He looks for a great\nrush into the district at any time\nand then there will be a scramble to\nmeet the demand.\nAnother need of the district, he\nsays, Is better police protection. The\nIndians of the Naas have become\nvery arrogant and have an impression that they control the situation\nand that the whites are but intruders. Before things go too far it\nwould he well to show the Indians\nthat they must conform to the laws\nof tbe land, Unfortunately they are\nbeing encouraged in their arrogancy\nby whites, in some cases.\nMr. McGrath has located some\nmost promising properties in the\ndistrict. They are in general of the\nsame character as the Hidden Creek\nmine operated by Mr. Rodgers One\ngroup has already been taken by option by the well known mining experts, flrewer and Parker.\nThe timber we-altb of the district\nIs also another valuable asset and\none thai will bring it into prominence\nat an early date. Mr. McGrath experts that there will he erected there\nmills that will have their part in\nsupplying Prince Rupert and also\nshippers to other points in the north.\n o\t\nPRESENTS GUN CARRIAGE\nHidden from the eyes of the curious behind the high walls and green\ntrees of Marlborough House, King\nGeorge the other day performed what\nmight be called the lasi of the funeral ceremonies of King Edward\u2014the\npresentation of ilie famous gunr\ncarriage to the bluejackets of II. M.\ns. Excellent, who drew the lain\nKing's remains to their resting place.\nVery simple-, yet very picturesque\nivas iIn- scene, .lust before twelve\no'clock the men, to the number of\n138, witli live officers and three\npetty officers, uneler the command\nof Captain Reginald Tapper, marched from Victoria station to Marlborough house, and on the stroke\nof noon they were drawn up in two\ndues on either side of the gun-carriage which, grim, solitary, and unadorned, stood in the centre of the\nlawn.\nShortly after twelve King George,\nattired in the full uniform of admiral\nof the fleet, emerged from the house\nand accompanied by Queen Mary.j\npassed quickly through the sailors'\nranks and inspected the men, after\nwhich they were formed into single\nline and inarched past a little table,\nwhere his Majesty presented them\nwith the medal of the Royal Victoria\nOrder. As the men filed back to their\nplaces it was amusing to observe\nthem \"double\" behind a tree and\nhastily pin the medals to their\nbreasts.\nThe presentation concluded, the\ntwo lines of men were turned inwards to form three sides of a\nsquare around the gun-carriage, and\nthe King then advanced and in a\nbrief speech gave the gun carriage\ninto their care. The officer in command made a brief reply, and the\nmen were then marched quickly off\nto Buckingham Palace, where they\nwere given lunch. Immediately after\nlunch they returned to Marlborough\nHouse for the gun-carriage.\nNEWS OF THE PROVINCE\nItems of General Interest From Centres in British Columbia.\nBranch Lines\nKamloops.\u2014The construction by\nthe Canadian Northern Railway of a\nblanch into tiie Okanagan Valley\nfrom a point on the main line of\nthe company at or in the vicinity of\nKamloops is indicated by reports.

Generally the route will, it is said, follow the old stage route between Kamloops and the Okanagan, traversing\nthe Grand Prairie district, Campbell\nCreek and the upper Salmon River\nvalley. The construction of a railway through this territory would\nopen up an immense tract of very\nvaluable agricultural land.\nDEVELOPING MASSETT\nVancouver Company Invests in Rich Agricultural District Near Prince\nRupert.\nA Rich Producer\nNelson.\u2014It is claimed that the last\nstatement made by the Nugget gold\nmines of Sheep Creek shows that in\ntwenty-eight months the property\nhas yielded twenty-six gold bricks of\nan average value of $9,000 each, and\nin addition shipments to the Trail\nsmelter have returned $150,000 in\nthe period mentoned.

Packers Meet\nVancouver\u2014The first annual meeting of the shareholders of the British Columbia Packers' Association\nsince the company aws incorporated\nunder the laws of British Columbia\noccurred last week. Till March of\nthe present year, when Incorporation\nwas secured in this province, the association operated under a charter\nprocured in New Jersey to which\nstate there was annually contributed\na percentage of the net earnings of\nthe company. The New Jersey charter was secured at the time of the\nformation of the association but experience showed an annual outlay to\nthat state for which no privileges\nIt Is expected that the next eighteen\nmonths will see the culmination of\none of the greatest colonization\nmovements in history, for during\nthat time it is schemed to build and\npopulate 220 towns in the Dominion\nof Canada, an average of one town\nfor every other weekday In the year\nand a half. By the middle of 1911,\nif Canadian Government officials are\nnot wrong in their estimate, these\n220 towns will have their official\nplaces and names on the map of Canada, populations of from one hundred to a thousand each, and they will\nhave been made largely by good\nAmerican citizens from over the border, says the Technical World Magazine.\nNever has a more interesting or a\nmore unusual scheme for the development of a country been undertaken\nthan this. That it will undoubtedly\nsucceed is assured by the fact that\nooth the government and tbe great\nrailroad interests of the Dominion\nare behind it. Recently Andrew D.\nDavidson, one of the big men of the\nCanadian Northern, said: \"I will\nshow you bow towns and cities are\nborn, as they have never been born\nin any country in the world before;\nI will show you how within a year or\ntwo a vast wilderness, a thousand\nmiles in width, is to be populated,\nso that from one town you will almost be able to see the smoke of the\nnext.\"\nOn the Grand Trunk Pacific westward from Winnipeg, a distance of\n960 miles, a new town is to be located during the next year and a half\nat a distance of every eight miles,\nor 120 towns for the total distance.\nMost of these towns are already\nmarked on the construction maps\nand the majority of them are named.\nOn the mountain division of the same\nroad, which is to terminate at Prince\nRupert on the Pacific, 35 new towns\nare to be planted. On the main line\nand branches of the Canadian Northern in Saskatchewan and Alberta 30\nnew towns are to be brought into existence, and on the Canadian Pacific,\nin the same provinces, 35, a total of\n220 in all.\nThe history of these towns is to\nbe unlike that of any other in existence. They are not to he merely\nplatted and named, and then left to\nvegetate. They are to be forced into\nlife. That is the remarkable thing\nabout them. And this is neither a\nguess nor a hope. It is the result of\na \"game of town building,\" which\nhas been played out by the government as carefully as one might play\na game of chess.\nRENEWING HIS YOUTH\nSir James Grant is a Surprise Even\nto Himself\nPeat will be the only fuel used in\na great German electric power generating station.\nThe Pall Mall Gazette had the following in a recent issue: Staying in\none of the Westminster hotels is one\nof the most remarkable men in the\nworld\u2014Sir James Grant, the eminent\nCanadian physician, who declares he\nhas made himself young again. He\nwill be seventy-seven years of age in\nAugust, but he looks no more than\nfifty, and his activity is something\nphenomenal. In fact, it takes his\nsecretary, who is a young man, all\nhis time to keep up with him.\nSir James Grant is the physician\nwho two years ago created a great\nsensation at the meeting of the British Assocation by reading a paper in\nwhich he spoke of the wonderful rejuvenating powers of electricity.\nSince then he has not only treated\nhimself, with wonderful results, but\nalso many eminent men on the American continent, Including, it is understood, some of the great financial\nmagnates of the United States.\nHis prophylactic against old age is\nquite different from that of Metchni-\nkoff, though it is identical in the one\nrespect that it aims at improving the\nstandard of digestion. Sir James\nGrant's treatment consists of electrical applications by means of a special\nbattery and systematized massage.\nBoth of these, he declares, assist\ntowards the perfect assimilation of\nfood.\nI walked with him the other day\nwrites a Pall Mall Gazette correspondent, a distance- oi half a mile,\nand could not help commenting on\nhis vigor and energy. I asked him\nwhether he wore spectacles, and his\nanswer was, \"Yes, I do wear spectacles. I have worn them for forty\nyears\u2014until such time as I began to\ntreat myself with electricity and\nmassage; today I do almost the whole\nof my reading and writing without\nusing any spectacles at all. My hearing is as good as ever, and I feel that\nI have the energy of a man of forty.\n\"I notice that your city is full of\ntaxi-cabs, but so far as I am concerned I never ride where I can walk, and\nindeed if I were challenged I would\nundertake to run a mile any day. I\ncan hardly believe that I will be\nseventy-seven in August next; certainly I feel not more than forty-five,\nand for this happy state of affairs I\nthank my electrical treatment. My\nmotto is 'Early to bad, and early to\nrise.' I get up at seven o'clock in\nthe morning, and go through a heavy\nday's work. I do not believe In\neither alcohol or tobacco\u2014they give\nno support to the human system, and\nundoubtedly diminish vitality.\"\nARTIFICIAL RUBBER\nGerman Has Discovered What Will\nTake Place of Natural Product\nQuite recently one of the great\nGerman aniline dye concerns, employing some 7,000 work people, and\nhaving a capital of over \u00a32,500,000,\nsubmitted to a German chemist samples of rubber which they had manufactured by a secret process, with\nthe request that he would test them\nin every way. He applied the most\nstringent tests, and established beyond a dcubt that these samples were\nIn every way Identical with natural\nrubber. Continuing his experiments,\nand starting from isoprene as a\nbase, finding that natural rubber dissolves when heated with glacial\nacetic acid, he treated isoprene (derived from turpentine oil), and observing certain conditions with the\nsame substance, ascertained that rubber could be produced in this way.\nThe artificial rubber is as elastic as\nthe natural product and Is of a\nbrownish white color. It appears to\nbe an established fact that the problem of manufacturing synthetic rubber has been solved. Of course, It\nis not intended to imply that the\ndeath knell of natural rubber has\nbeen sounded, and some time will\nnecessarily elapse before the artificial product is likely to flood the\nworld's markets. But the death of\nthe natural Indigo Industry, as the\nresult of the Invention of a German\nprofessor is an example it is well to\nkeep in mind. Once a flourishing\nnative industry in India, the production of natural indigo is absolutely\ndecaying, the synthetic preparation\nhaving captured about four-fifths of\nthe world's market. Camphor is another instance. A few years ago a\nGerman chemical concern placed on\nthe market a synthetic product,\nIdentical for all chemical purposes\nwith the natural product, in which\nJapan had enjoyed practically the\nmonopoly, and while here the artificial product has not driven the natural one right out of the market, It\nhas most effectually kept down the\nprice, this being perhaps the lesson\nthat had best be impressed on those\nwho constitute the drlv'ng force in\nthe rubber market.\nBrilliant Reception\nVictoria.\u2014The preparations being\nmade for the reception of Sir Wilfrid\nLaurier In Victoria are on a more\nbrilliant scale than for any like\nevent in the history of that city,\nwhich Intends to eclipse any ovation\ntendered tbe distinguished gentleman\nanywhere on bis trip.\n.;. *\\..;..;\u00bb.;. \u00bbj\u00ab.;. *j\u00bb.;..;. \u00bbj\u00bb \u00bbi\u00ab *;\u2022\u00bbj\u00ab\u00bb;. \u00bbj..'. *'.. .\\* \u00bbj. \u25ba;\u00bb.;\u00ab\u00bbj\u00bb \u00bbj. \u00bb;* .;<\u00bb;..;. \u25ba;\u00ab *j\u00ab \u00bb;* \u2022>*\u2666 \u00bb\u2022\u00ab **\u00ab \u00bb** \u25ba*\u00ab \u00bb*\u00ab \u00bbj\u00bb *;\nCorner 2nd Avenue and 6th Street\nCorner 2nd Avenue and 6th Street %\nWe Are Busy Arranging Our 5c and 10c Tables\nWe have sold the bulk of some patterns of Dinner Sets, and we are almost giving the rest away.

The editorial gives\nfood for thought. Is says: \u2014\nThe agricultural industry in the\nthree prairie provinces has assumed such an important position in\nthe economy of the country that\neverything connected with it has\ncome to be a matter of national interest and concern. At the present\ntime the prospects of this year's crop\nin the North-west Is one of the subjects most discussed not only in\nWestern Canada, but In tho great\ncommercial centres in Eastern Can-\nade. For it is realized that the\nwheat crop In the West has come to\nbe the greatest factor in the commercial and industrial life of the\ncountry. A good crop is the foundation of active trade in the ensuing\nmonths; it means a great demand for\nthe productions of eastern shops and\nfactories; a great addition to the\nfinancial resources of the country and\nthe distribution through direct and\nindirect channels of a large amount\nof money among the. masses of the\npeople. Under the conditions that\nwe find today it is difficult to recall\nthe fact that scarcely a quarter of a\ncentuiy has elapsed since the time\nwhen those who were regarded as an\nauthority on the subject expressed\ngrave doubts as to whether the severity of the climate in the Northwest and the danger of early frosts\nwould not make it unlikely that in\nthat part of the Dominion the cultivation of cereals would ever become\nan important industry and the country be capable of supoprting a large\npopulation.\nJust as improbable would the suggestion have been regarded then\nthat the prairies of the North-west\nwould come to furnish a large part\nof the food supplies of the people of\nthe United Kingdom. In the discussions on the policy of Sir John A.\nMacdonald to aid in the construction\nof a Canadian transcontinental railway to bind together the different\nparts of the Dominion, little or nothing was heard about the transportation of grain from the West to the\neastern seaboard being likely to become an important item in the traffic\nof such a railway, although in the\nfierce controversy that raged over\nthe proposal In Parliament almost\nevery conceivable argument waB adduced either for or against the project. Now we have three great railway companies competing for a share\nin the grain traffic, each of them\nspending millions of dollars in adding hundreds of locomotives and\nthousands of freight cars to their\nrolling Btock in order that they may\nhave motive power and equipment\nadequate to meet the demands for\ntransportation that the movement of\nthe grain eastward annually brings\nupon them. Yet the development of\nthat traffic in the near future seems\nlikely to be so great, in the view\nof business men of experience, that\nplans are being matured for the carriage of part of the crop westward\nto the Pacific Coast for transportation by water to the great markets of\nthe world. In justification of such\nprojects we have the fact that large\ncomparatively as is the area under\ngrain in Saskatchewan and Alberta,\nit is but a small part of the land\nsuitable for the growth of cereals.\nIn connection with the position\nthat the Dominion occupies in the\nEmpire, and how important under\ncertain contingencies it might be that\nthe latter should be self-contained\nand not dependent on foreign countries for the food supplies of the\nteeming population of the British\nIsles, the question of what proportion\nof the grain consumed in the United\nKingdom can be supplied by Canada\nis one of no little interest. In the\ndiscussion which is going on In the\nMother Country on the subject of\ntariff reform, and the granting to her\ndependencies of preferential arrangements on the importation of grain\nfrom the latter, one argument used\nby Free Traders (or, more correctly\nFree Importers) is that Great Britain\nmust depend on foreign countries\nfor the greater part of her supply of\ngrain, and it would, therefore, be\nimpolitic to discriminate against\nthem. But the expansion in the area\nunder cultivation in our North-west\nterritories bids fair before long to\nchange very considerably the proportion of her grain supply for which\nGreat Britain must rely on foreign\ncountries as compared with that\nfrom her overseas dependencies. According to statistics prepared by the\nBritish Board of Agriculture in the\nfour years, 1905-8, Canada furnished\n101,000,000 bushels of grain out of\na total of 840,000,000 bushels received from all outside sources, or\nless than one-eighth of the total Imports. But already Canada has largely Increased her actual and relative\namounts in the imports into the\nUnited Kingdom, since in 1909 the\nlatter received 77,000,000 bushels of\nwhaet, or their equivalent in flour\nfrom Canada. As the average annual requirement of imported grain\nis about 210,000,000, Canada last\nyear furnished the British market\nwith more than one-third of its necessary supply. Mr. Balfour's proposed\ntax on imports of foreign wheat\nwould undoubtedly operate In Increasing still more rapidly the imports from the colonies and particularly from Canada. But in any case\nwe may look forward with confidence\nto Canada being able to supply the\nlarger proportion of Great Britain's\nimports of grain within a few years,\nsince the settlement of our Northwest in going on so rapidly and the\narea under grain being greatly en\nlarged with each succeeding year.\nLANS PURCHASE NOTICE\nI.AM) PURCHASE NOTICES\nLAND PURCHASE NOTICES\nLAND PURCHASE NOTICES\nSkeena Land District\u2014District of\nCassiar.\nTAKE NOTICE that John Cherry,\nof Victoria, B.

Jy8\nCARBONIC ACID GAS\nMedical Men Correct Wrong Ideas in\nConnection Witli its Danger\nThe danger of an excess of carbonic acid gas in the air, the property which makes an overcrowded,\nstuffy room so unpleasant, has been\nrobbed of all its terrors as the result of an experiment carried out at\nthe London hospital, says the Daily\nMail's medical correspondent.\nTo eight perspiring, shirt-sleeved\nstudents, crowded in an airtight box\nfive feet long, five feet wide and\nseven feet high, breathing their own\nexpired air over and over again, at\na temperature of 85 degrees Fahrenheit, is due the proof that carbonic\nacid gas, formerly considered such a\ndeadly poison, can be breathed with\nimpunity In doses forty times as large\nas the law allows.\nIn their hermetically sealed box\nthe eight students experienced all the\nsensations or gradual suffocation for\nthree-quarters of an hour, uulil the\ncarbonic acid gas rose to four per\ncent. A stuffy theatre atmosphere\nmight contain one-thirtieth of one per\ncent. Peering through the large glass\nwindows in two walls of their prison\nwe could note their perspiring, flushed cheeks, quivering nostrils and general air of physical discomfort.\nWhen the air temperature from\ntheir breathing and the radiations\nfrom their bodies drove the thermometer up to 88 degrees Fahrenheit\n(most people keep their rooms at\nabout 68 degrees Fahrenheit), Professor Hill shouted: \"Are you ready\nfor the fans?\" A chorus of \"Yes\"\nfrom the prisoners, and three electric\nfans were turned on from the out\nside. No fresh air was admitted, the\nfans simply stirring up the moist\ncarbonic-acid-laden atmosphere.\nThe effect was little less tha--\nmagical. The students immediately\nstood more erect, breathed more\neasily and deeply, and began once\nagain to chat and joke with one another. On coming out none of the\nmen showed any signs of the trying\nordeal he had just gone through.\n\"The experiment,\" Professor Hill\nstated, \"proves conclusively that the\ncarbonic acid present in a stuffy,\nover-crowded and ill-ventilated room\nis not the cause of the unpleasant\nsymptoms we formerly associated\nwith these conditions. It is the\nmoisture, high temperature and stagnation of the air which gives us the\nheadaches and dulness.\"\nTHE BRAVE BLACK WATCH\nWidow of General Waucliope Over-\nconic nt Memornl Ceremony\nAn affecting scene was witnessed\nat a luncheon given in Edinburgh to\ntbe Black Watch (Royal Highlanders) after a formal presentation to\nthe city council of a memorial to\nofficers and men of the regiment who\nfell in South Africa. Mrs. Waucliope, widow of General Wane-hope,\nwin was killed while leading the\nHighland brigade at Magersl'ontein,\nwas asked to say a few words. In\ntremulous tones she was only able to\nsay: \"I think you all know what the\nBlack Watch means to me, and I will\njust thank you.\" On sitting down\nMrs. Waucliope was overcome with\nemotion, and the incident had a\nmarked effect upon all present.\nColonel Grogan, in formally handing\nover the memorial erected at the\nMound\u2014said that the fame of General Waucliope and his comrades did\nnot rest alone in the records of marble and bronze. Their memory\nwould be revered and honored in the\nUlack Watch as long as the regiment\nwas in existence.\nSkeena Land District\u2014District of\nCassiar.\nTAKE NOTICE that Echo Dudgeon, of Vancouver, B.

The Journal is prepared to take its full share in building up Prince Rupert\nand giving publicity 1i> the resources and riches of tho country which is being opened\nup by the (1. T. P., and of which the city must be the great distributing centre. As a\nmeans to litis end a special offer is made :\nI\nVOTE l-'Of! IJYLAW\nOn August S ilic property-owners\nof the city will have an opportunity\nof expressing approval or the , 11>;\u25a0 <>-\nsiiicni for taking over tin- telephone\nsystem by the city. There lias been a\ngood deal ol' discussion on Hie question ami some little ill feeling engendered as a result of the preliminary slops which were taken in connection with this. Tiie citizens who\nbelieve in tbe public ownership of the\ntelephone system will now have an\nopportunity to express approval of\nthe scheme of public ownership and\nshould make the vote a substantial\none. It would thus show the city\ncouncil exactly the mind of the people on such a question.\nIt is an opportunity to register a\ndecision which the property-owners\nshould all embrace.\n o\t\nIMPORTANT PORT\nThere is no place in Prince Rupert today for the pessimist. The\nattention which the place is attracting from the outside world is sufficient to make everyone who has an\ninvestment in the city congratulate\nhimself. The outlook is nothing if\nnot promising. D. D. Mann is enamored of the northern country on this,\nhis first visit to it, and will assist\nin the work of bringing it to the attention of the Investing world.\nTbe visit of Mr. Mann is but one\nof tbe evidences this week that the\nnorth is prominently in the public\neye. Capt. Bartlett of the Holt liner\nBelleropbon was also a guest here\nand bis visit is if anything of greater\nimportance than that of the railway\nmagnate. ('apt. Bartlett comes as\nthe representative of one of the greatest shipping houses in the world. He\ncomes as tbe special emissary of the\nHolts to examine into the possibilties\nof this port, the object in view being\nthe placing of this port among those\nto be catered to by the company In\nits carrying trade around the world.\nThere can be little question that\nthe Holt liners, in common with the\nvessels of all the big companies operating on the North Pacific Coast, will\narrange for trade here. As the nearest port of call on the route from\nthe Orient, there will be a decided\nadvantage in tbe steamers calling\nhete and transhipping their cargo for\ninterior points over the present system of hauling it all the way to Vancouver as the Holt liners do. In\npoint of time there would be a vast\nsaving. By unloading at Ibis port\nthe goods would be In Winnipeg possibly as soon as they would be in\nVancouver or Seattle by the present\nroutes. There is also the saving in\nfuel unel other advantages that in\nthese days of keen competition are\nwatched closely by the big companies.\nIt is idle lo expect that the port of\nPrince Ruperl will put .shipping\nports like Seattle and Vancouver out\nof business. Willi the rapid development em the coast these ports will\nnot he- appreciably affected by the\nrise of the new port in the north.\nPrince Rupert will rise to u shipping\npoint ranking with these without at\nthe same time appearing to hurt the\nrivals.\nTHE PRINCE GEORGE\nThe new Bteamer Prince George\nwhich should reach lien- on Sunday\n'ill he- as heartily welcome to the\nporl as her sisie-r ship, tiie Prince\nRupert, although there will not be\nHie snine pomp and sp.'endor in connection witli her reception here. It\nwas but fitting that the first of the\n\u2022 I. 'I'. I'. steamers should be given a\nhearty reception. That reception was\nas much Intended for Hie Prince\nGeorge as for the Prince Rupert and\nthe officers of the newer steamer may\nso accept It.\nIn connection with the naming of\nsteamers, it is remarkable how a\nsentiment is engendered as a result\nof the simple naming. Thus it will\nbe no surprise if on the part of residents here a little warmer feeling\nis always felt towards the Prince Rupert on account of its bearing the\nname of the city. This has been observed in connection with the C.P.R.\nsteamer Princess Victoria. Bearing\nthe same name as the capital city of\nthe province tbe people of Victoria\nalways show a warm feeling towards\nthat vessel. The arrival of the Princess Charlotte, a larger and in some\nrespects better steamer than the\nPrincess Victoria, failed to win the\ngeneral public in Victoria away from\nthe first steamer. When tests of speed\nwere made it was always more popular in the capital for the Princess\nVictoria to he the victor.\nA similar sentiment may attach to\nthe Prince Rupert in this city. Other\nvessels may come better equipped\nand faster probably, in the years to\ncome but the first steamer of the\nG. T. P. coasting service bearing the\nname of the terminal city will always\nfind a warm place in the hearts ot\nresidents here.\nTill: WATER PROBLEM\nrince Rupert\n..

According\nto present indications there is no danger of the council wasting any time\nin solving the question. It. is being\ngrappled with in a decisive way. In\nthe meantime the public are asked to\nco-operate in avoiding any unnecessary waste of water so that there\nmay be no danger of any serious\nshortage. With the present dry\nweather the lack Is aggravated and\nthe citizens should show public spirit\nin dealing with a situation which\ncould not well be avoided.\nIn the matter of a water supply,\nno time is being wasted to secure\nfor the city an adequate service. The\nengineering department is at work\non the proposition and according to\nall indications, Col. Davis will not allow any time to be lost In delivering\nthe Woodwortli Lake supply to the\ncity.\nOn the recommendation of the city\nengineer the council has decided to\ngrant no further extensions of the\nredistribution system in the city and\nto limit the further connections for\n% A Great Canadian %\n* #\n\u2666j, \u00bbj\u00bb \u00bbj, .5. \u00bbj\u00ab \u00bbj\u00ab \u00bbj. .j. \u00bbj\u00ab .j. .j. .j. .j. .j. .j* .j. \u00bbj\u00ab \u00bbj. \u00bbf> .j. .j. \u00bbj. .j. ,j. .j. .j,\nGoldwin Smith was seventeen\nyears past the Psalmist's limit, and\nbe died because he was just tired,\nsays Collier's Weekly.

He met\ncleatli lige a philosopher, adding\nnothing to those wistful doubts of a\nhereafter which he had written in\nmany books and pamphlets. Toronto will miss the tall bent figure in\nHie family barouche, behind the sleek\nhorses, with the gray old family\ncoachman on the box, which was\nGoldwin Smith's picture when ho\ntook an outing on an afternoon.\nEverybody knew by sight the sad old\ngentleman with the dropping mouth\nand the wan, Inscrutable eyes, and\nsome wondered why, with all his\nhonors and riches, he should not look\nhappy. They did not understand,\nperhaps, that the riddle of existence\nweighed heavily on him.

It seemed\nonly right that a house which had\nseen a hundred years of history and\nmade some of it should harbor a\nman who could interpret history un-\ndlstracted by the clamor of the times\nAnyone who has examined Goldwin\nSmith's lighter efforts will regret that\nlie did not do more for belles lettres.\nLike Macaulay, he could have been\na great novelist or a great poet, but,\nlike Macaulay, his sense of duty called him to sterner work. He wrote\nhistory and political economy because he thought he could do more\ngood that way, and, at that, he sacrificed part of his fame by writing\non topics of purely current Interest.\nA present wrong to be righted, a\npresent error to be combated, a present cause to de helped\u2014any of these\ncalled more loudly to Goldwin Smith\nthan the far-off tributes of posterity.\nBut what he could do in the way of\na monumental work he showed In\n\"The United Kingdom.\" Although\nbis fancy leaned to the primrose path\nof literature, he put it away from\nhim and, of late years, did not even\nread the rising authors of fiction. To\na reporter who asked him if he liked\nWilliam de Morgan, he said: \"Who\nis William de Morgan? You see,\nwe're a little bit out of the world\nhere.\" And he was vastly curious\nabout the old man of seventy who\ncould write four three-deckers all in\na row. But otherwise the facts of a\nlong life spent in observing provided\nhis mind with what comedy and tragedy it needed to feed on, as indeed\nit does most old men's.\nGoldwin Smith spent most of his\nliterary energy on journalism. He\nhad to have a paper or a magazine\nas other rich men have to have a\nyacht or a shooting preserve. The\npaper was the quickest, surest way\nof reaching the people. Being an\neager champion ow what he thought\nright, Goldwin Smtih took the short\ncut. He did not wait to publish his\nviews on a live question in a book,\nsix months after the subject might\nbe dead. His career as a publicist\nin Canada is bound up with five\npapers in which he was the leading\nspirit. The last one was the \"Weekly\nSun,\" a high-class farmers' paper,\nin which Goldwin Smith's \"Bystander\" column was the front-page feature. Surely never did the farmers of\nCanada have such a guide before!\nGeorge III wrote for an agricultural\npaper on farm topics as Mr. Robinson, but Goldwin Smith, applying the\nphilosophy of history to the events\nof today, is even more notable. Another reason why Goldwin Smith had\nto have a newspaper of his own was\nthat many of the things he thought\nhe could not get into the Canadian\nnewspapers. It was his fate to hold\nmany opinions which ran counter to\npopular feeling. The trouble was that\nhe was a philosophical historian, using cold, white logic, and the other\npeople were patriots or politicians,\nswayed by interest and sentiment.\nWithout going back one iota on his\nspoken views on any of the great\nquestions, Goldwin Smith outlived\nthe rancor he had aroused and won\nthe love and esteem of those who had\nonce made his name a hissing. There\nwas no strife or bitterness to mar\nhis sunset. He came to be regarded\nas the Admirable Crichton of Canada,\nbut not as a political Influence. He\ndid much to dignify and elevate the\nnewspaper profession In Canada. He\npractised courtesy of debate, and\nthat, in time, had its effect. With\nthe ease and money to follow a writing itch, he never wronged the workers in hodden gray by doing anything for nothing. He asked and\ntook the market price for his output\nand then gave it away royally in\ncharity. Goldwin Smith was a champion of liberty and democracy. It\nwill stand to him for more merit\nthat he was the champion of the oppressed, the life-long friend of the\n\"under-dog.\" He was the greatest\ncitizen of Canada. It is a pity that\nso much wisdom, learning and high\ncharacter should be hid away in the\ngrave.\n o\t\nRICE RECIPES\nSome of the following recipes are\nrather new and some are old: \u2014\nRice Pudding Without Eggs\u2014\nFour tablespoonfuls of rice, four\ntablespoonfuls of sugarfl one quart of\nmilk, one cupful of raisins. Bake\nrice, sugar and milk for one and one-\nhalf hours, then add raisins and bake\nanother half hour Stir occasionally.\n* * *\nCream of Rice Pudding\u2014Three\ncupfuls of milk, thre tablespoonfuls\nof rice, one-half cupful of sugar, and\nnutmeg or vanilla flavoring. Wash\nthe rice, put it with two cupfuls of\ncold water on back of stove until it\ncomes to boiling point, then add the\nthree cupfuls of milk, the sugar, and\nflavoring, and place pan in slow\noven for three or four hours. Every\nlime a crust forms on top stir it\nuntil just before taking from tbe\noven. Eat hot or cold and without\nsauce.\n* * *\nRice Snow Ball.\u2014Cook six tablespoonfuls of rice until tender. Sweeten with two tablespoonfuls of sugar\nand add a pinch of salt. Pile on a\nlow, flat dish. While hot have the\nwhite of one egg beaten with one\ntablespoonful of sugar. Spread over\nthe rice. Set in the oven to glaze but\nnot brown. The sauce: Stir together\nthe yolk of one egg, one teaspoonful\nof flour, two tablespoonfuls of sugar\nthinned with one tablespoonful of\nwater, then beat to a cream. Stir\nthis into one cupful of boiling milk\nand flavor to taste.\n* + *\nPoor Man's Pudding.\u2014One-half\ncupful of boiled rice, two eggs, one-\nhalf cupful of sugar, one tablespoonful of butter, two cupfuls of milk.\nPlace butter In pudding dish and melt\nit.

Possessed of\nan intense desire to see the map of\nthe sub-continent tinted red, and to\nlink up the Cape and Cairo under\nBritish influence, Rhodes foresaw\nthe union of the four colonies, and\nanticipating that which today is an\nfor an official residence at Cape-\naccomplished fact, made provision\ntown.\nIn one of the prettiest suburban\ndistricts in Cape peninsula, over all\nof which towers the majestic Table\nMountain, lies the estate of Groote\nSchuur, skirting the slopes of the\nmountain. The name (meaning\n\"large granary\") and the style of\narchitecture of the house are both\nDutch. The homestead, with its picturesque, red-tiled roof, Its curiously\nshaped chimneys and white gables,\nits cool tesselated stoep, and dazzling\nwhite pillars, captivated the fancy\nof the great South African magnate\nand statesman, who after renting it\nfor some time, acquired it for his\npermanent use when at the Cape.\nBit by bit, the Hon. Cecil Rhodes\nadded to the estate, until at the time\nof his death, it comprised the finest\npart in South Africa. Inspired at all\nlimes by a sense of his stewardship,\nRhodes shared his estate with the\npeople and gave free access thereto.\nWhen the estate was being laid out\nhe Issued two thousand keys which\nwere to be presented to reputable\ncitizens, but when the gates and locks\nwere all provided, he Issued a yet\nmore generous order, to the effect\nthat the gates were not to be lockd.\nSo the inhabitants of the Cape came\ninto the enjoyment of pleasure\ngrounds which meant as much as\nRegent's Park with its zoo to the\nLondoner, or the Park of St. Cloud\nto the Parisian. Stalking about on\nthe slopes, separated from the visitor\nonly by wire fences, are to be seen\nthe zebra, the giraffe, the ostrich,\nthe eland, and other animals which\nare there on their native heath; In\nfact the only caged one Is the king\nof beasts.\nThe residence is situated near the\nentrance from a main road and, traversing a magnificent avenue of stately pines, the gables of the building\nare visible between the trees.\nThe mansion is not large as com\npared, say, with the White House,\nbut it is of that solid type such as\nmany a \"Mynheer'' of the Dutch East\nIndia Company would have built. It\npossesses that necessary adjunct to\nall South African homes, stately or\nhumble, a stoep\u2014a word which is\nretained by the English colonists.\nThis stoep is tiled and columned, and\nbeing deep, affords a cool retreat\nwhen the sun's rays beat down pitilessly.\nThe interior of the house suggests\nthe individuality of its founder.\nEverything is substantial; halls and\ncorridors are flagged; the ceilings,\nb ams aud panels are mostly constructed in teak, and the furniture\nincludes old Dutch \"kists\" (chests)\nfor which Mr. Rhodes paid fabulous\nprices.\nAmongst many interesting souvenirs of the history of the land are\nto he seen relics from the famous\nZimbabye ruins, the elephant seal\nused by Lobengula, the Chartered\nCompany's flag that Dr. Jameson\ncarried through the first Matebele\ncampaign, and an old drinking cup\nused by the directors of the Dutch\nHast India Company.\nUnfortunately, in 1S9B a fire broke\nout and destroyed a portion of the\nhouse, as well as some valuable oil\npaintings, and Mr. Rhode's chest of\npapers. However, the damaged portion was re-constructed and the\noriginal scheme of design was adhered lo, and now the roof has been\ntiled instead of thatched.\nOver the portals of Goote Schuur\nIs a striking bronze panel representing in relief, the arrival of Van Rie-\nbeck, the first Governor of the Cape.\nTbe entrance of the first Premier\u2014\nalso a Dutchman\u2014would then have\nproved a happy association of ideas,\nand It is to be hoped that General\nHot ha will allow wiser counsel to\nprevail.\n o\t\nKING GEORGE'S ALLOWANCE\nParliament has been considering\nalterations in the civil list of His Majesty King George. It Is customary\nat the beginning of a new reign for\na select committee of parliament to\nconsider the financial needs of the\nCrown. This has just been done and\nthe outcome of deliberations Is given\nin the announcement made that the\nsum of $3,170,000 yearly will be pro- '\nvided for the maintenance of the\nroyal family. This is an increase of\n$65,000 over the allowance made for\nKing Edward for his household.\nThe report also recommends an appropriation of $275,000 to be spent\nin placing the royal palaces in a fit\ncondition for the occupation of the\nking and queen.\n* I\nFriday, July 22, 1010\nPRINCE RUPERT JOURNAL\nAtlantic Steamship;\n Agency\t\nThrough tickets and excursion\nrates to\nEngland, France, Germany,\nand all\nScandinavian Ports.\nCall or write for rates to any\npart of the world.

Never in the history\nof tbe world has there been provided\nfor the convenience of a city the size\nof this port anything like the service\nthat the G. T. P. is putting on in\nthese two vessels.\nIt shows the faith the company\nhas in the future of this as a shipping\ncentre and likewise is a promise of a\nmost progressive policy on the part\nof the company.\nThe Prince George is expected to\nreach here Sunday at noon.\nLike her sister ship, the Prince\nGeorge is one of the handsomest vessels which will ply on this coast.\nShe is a twin screw steamship and\nis rigged after the fashion of a fore-\nand-aft schooner with three smokestacks, straight stem, and cruiser\nstern.\nOn the shelter and shade decks\nare long steel houses, giving accommodation for first class passengers,\nalong with elaborately decorated\npublic rooms, which are a special\nfeature of the vessel.

JyS ft\n\u25a0\nFriday, July 22, 1910\nTHE PRINCE RUPERT JOURNAL\nTHE ELECTRIFICATION OF\nRAILWAYS\t\n\"The Electrification of Railways,\"\nis the title of an exhaustive and valuable paper by Mr. George Westing-\nbouse, which, as president of the\nAmerican Society of Mechanical Engineers, he has prepared fcr tbe joint\nmeeting of that body and the British\nInstitution of Mechanical Engineers,\nto be held in England during the\npresent month. The purpose of the\npaper is to recommend to the consideration of railway engineers and\nthose in authority, the pressing need\nof a prompt selection of those stan-\nards of electrification which will render possible a complete Interchange\nof traffic in order to avoid difficulties\nand delays declared to be certain\nto arise unless some common understanding is arrived at very shortly.\n\"Having been Identified with railway operations for over forty years,\nand with the development of the electrical Industry for twenty-five years,\nI feel the time is ripe for the selection of an electrical system for universal application,\" says Mr. West-\ninghouse.\n\"But the great difficulty in the\nelectrification of standard railways\nis no longer the engineering problem,\nit is the financial question, requiring a combination of the highest engineering and commercial skill.\n\"To insure interchange ot traffic,\nthe fundamental requirements so far\nas the operation of a steam railroad\nIs concerned, with full regard for\nsafety, speed and comfort, are few In\nnumber, and are covered by the following: A standard gauge of track;\na standard of interchangeable type\nof coupling for vehicles; a uniform\ninterchangeable type of Drake apparatus; interchangeable heating apparatus; a uniform system of train\nsignals. The additional fundamental\nrequirements for electrically operated\nrailways are: A supply of electricity\nof uniform quality as to voltage and\nperiodicity; CDnductors to convey this\n- electricity so uniformly located with\nreference to the rails that, without\nchange of any kind, an electrically\nfitted locomotive or car of any company can collect its supply of current when upon the lines of other\ncompanies; uniform aparatus for con-\n. trol of electrically fitted locomotives\nor cars from different lines can be\n(Iterated together from one locomotive or c,ar\u00bb\nDifferent Systems\nThree important electrical systems\nfor the operation of railways have\nbeen put into practical operation, all\nusing alternating current in whole,\nor in part. These systems are: The\ncontinuous or direct current system,\nusually spoken of as the \"third-rail\"\nsystem, which employs alternating\ncurrent for transmitting power when\nthe distance is considerable; the\nthree-phase alternating current system with two overhead trolley wires,\nand the single phase, alternating current high tension system with a single\noverhead trolley wire.\n\"The complete electrification of a\nrailway will necessitate a rearrangement of ideas and practices in regard\nto operations. Coaling and watering\nplaces will not be needed; passenger\ntrains will be differently composed,\nsome classes being of less weight;\nand will operate more frequently,\nthus promoting travel; other trains\nwill be heavier than at present, or\nwill operate at higher speeds; and\nbranch lines, by the use of electrically fitted cars, can be given a thorough\nservice not now enjoyed.\n\"The movement of freight will undergo great chances, due to the fact\nthat electric locomotives can be constructed with great excess of capacity\nenabling them to move longer trains\nat schedule speed on rising gradients.\n\"The large percentage of shunting\noperations due entirely to the use of\nsteam locomotives will not longer be\nrequired.\nCo-operative Plan\n\"The railway companies can combine upon some co-operative plan for\nthe generation of electricity, thereby\neffecting large savings in capital expenditures; and can utilize their own\nrights-of-way for the transmission of\nthe current, not only for the operation of trains, but for many other\nuseful purposes.\n\"Notwithstanding the fact that\ngreat strides have already been made\nin cheapening the cost of generating\nelectricity by steam engines, I foresee, from the progress made in the\ndevelopment of gas and oil engine\npower, a still further reduction in\ncost which will accelerate the work\nof electrifying existing railways.\n\"One important aspect of this\ngreat, question will engage the\nthoughtful consideration of every\ngovernment, namely, the military\nnecessity for uniform equipment in\ntime of war.\n\"The most important installation\nof the single-phase system is that of\nthe New York, New Haven & Hartford railway, leading out of New\nYork city. Practically all the railroad service between New York and\nBoston, as well as the New England\nStates, is over the four tracks of this\nrailroad. The trains pass into the\nGrand Central station in New York\nover the lines of the New oYrk Central & Hudson River railroad, which\nis electrically equipped with tbe third\nrail system for operation by direct\ncurrent at 650 colts. Selection of\nthe system for the New Haven railroad was restricted by the necessity\nof operating the New Haven trains\nover the New York Central tracks,\nbut the decision was in favor of the\nsingle-phase system, nothwithstand-\ning the limitation that the locomotives must operate successively both\nby single phase current and direct\ncurrent.\nNow in Use\n\"The trains of the New Haven system leaving the Grand Central station pass over twelve miles of the\ntracks of the New York Central system, operating from the third rail by\ndirect current. They then pass to\nthe New Haven tracks at full speed,\nreceiving alternating current at 11,-\n000 volts from the overhead trolley\nwires which extend twenty-one miles\nto Stamford, a total distance of\nthirty-three miles from New Ytrk,\nthis being the end of the initial installation of the single-phase system.\n\"The power house is located near\nthe Stamford end of the electrified\nsection, and contains four 11,000-\nvolt turbo-generators, having an aggregate capacity of over 16,000 kw.\nThe current passes directly from the\ngenerators to the trolley wires.\n\"There are forty-one locomotives\nin regular operation, and also four\nmotor cars, with trail cars operating\non tl.p multiple unit system in 'suburban service. The alternating cur-\n\"t-iii 'l- taken from the overhead trol-\nley wire by a pantagraph, which\npresses a shoe against the wire. The\ndirect current on the New York Central zone is obtained from the third\nrail by means of ordinary sliding contact shoes. Both the pantagraph\nand the contact slioes are manipulated by compressed ail\n\"For reasons of economy in operation the locomotives were built under\nthe requirement that each should be\ncapable of hauling a 200-ton train\nfrom New York to New Haven, making all Btatlon Btops in accordance\nwith the regular schedules, or an express train of 250 tons', and that the\nlocomotives should be so arranged\nthat two or more could be operated\nby a single engineer for the movement of heavier trains. The particular size selected permits about 75\nper cent of the trains to be operated\nby a single unit.\nDufticulties Overcome\n\"The early fears as to difficulties\nin commutation of current have been\ndispelled by the records of performance, as many of the motors have\noperated over 100,000 miles without\nturning or even sandpapering the\ncommutators and the brushes show\nan average life of 40,000 to 45,000\nmiles. These locomotives have been\nmaking regularly an average of about\nfour and one-half trips of thirty-three\nmiles per day, hauling trains twenty-\nfive to fifty per cent heavier, or even\nmore in the case of express trains,\nthan the locomotives were guaranteed to handle. Most of the locomotives have run about 100,000 miles,\nbut there is seldom more than one\nout of service for repairs, a record\nsaid by the officials of the company\nto be much better than for the steam\nlocomotives which were replaced.\nThese officials also say that the cost\nof maintenance per mile and the\nnumber of miles run per electric locomotive are far more favorable than\nwith steam locomotives, even with\nthe present very short run of thirty-\nthree miles.\n\"The cost of maintenance of the\ndistribution system is relatively\nsmall compared with that of the low-\nvoltage third-rail system. The delays\ndue to the transmission lines and\noverhead construction, though few In\nnumber, Include those brought about\nby extraordinary conditions, such as\nsteam from switch engines and by\nwrong operation of switches.\n\"In considering the capability of\nthe single-phase system for continuous performance the record of the\nsix single-phase locomotives in service at the St. Clair tunnel of the\nGrand Trunk railway is worthy of\nmention. These locomotives have\nnow been running two years and have\nmade about 70,000 miles each averaging about 100 miles per day, or\ntwenty-five trips of four miles. It\nbus not been necessary to use a steam\nlocomotive since the regular electric\nservice was started (May, 1908) and\nFIELD FOR STI.'DV.\nMany Species of Lower Life Are Not\nFully Understood\nConsidering the nuinber of species\nof animals, A. E. Shipley, in a British Assocation paper, has pointed\nout that most species of large animals\u2014especially of mammals\u2014are\nprobably now known, but that insects\nand small animals in general still offer a vast field for exploration. A\nfew years ago, Gtienther showed that\nthe number of known species of all\nkinds had increased from 73,588 in\n1830 to 311,653 in 1881. In the half\ncentury, the known species of mammals had grown from 1,200 to 2,300,\nbirds, from 3,600 to 11,000; reptiles,\n643 to 3,400; fishes, 3,500 to 11,000,\nmollusks, 11,000 to 33,000; moss\nanimalcules, 40 to 120; Crustacea,\n1,290 to 7,500; arachnids (spiders,\netc.), 1,048 to 8,070; Myrlapods\n(centipedes, etc.), 4o0 to 1,300; insects, 49,100 to 220,150; echlnoder-\nmata (sea urchins, star fishes, etc.),\n230 to 18,043; worms, 372 to 6.070;\ncoelenterata, 500 to 2,200; fora-\nminifera, 50 to 400; and protozoa,\n305 to 3,500. The new species discovered since 1881 have probably\naveraged 12,000 annually, making\nthe total number now known by\nSharpe in 1895 at a quarter of a mil-\nIon species, and he concluded that\nten times as many remained to be\nfound.\n o\t\nPRAYED AGAINST TIME\nHumorous Story Regarding United\nStates House of Representatives\nSpeaking against time is common\nenough in most parliaments, but\npraying against time is something\nnew. The Washington Times, however, tells of such an occurrence,\nwhich once happened in the United\nStates capital: \u2014\nMembers of the House, who had\ncongregated in the cloak room during the general debate on the tariff,\nwere discussing the recent prayer of\nthe Rev. Mr. Coudrey, the House\nchaplain, deploring muckrakisg.\n\"For some reason,\" said one of\nthe veteran members, \"the chaplain's prayer reminded me of the\nmost amusing incident I ever saw\nduring my entire service in the House\nof Representatives. The incident occurred many years ago, so I have\nforgotten the names of the actors,\nbut there are still members of the\nHouse who recall it.\n\"One day the journal clerk rushed\ninto the House while the chaplain\nwas praying. He looked through the\ndrawers of his desk In a hasty manner and then hustled to the side of\nthe chaplain.\n\" 'Keep on praying,' he urged earnestly. 'We can't find the journal.'\n\"Mr. Chaplain was so startled\nthat he faltered In his prayer, but\nafter a moment he seemed to grasp\nthe situation. He bowed his head\nstill lower and continued to pray. The\nusual time devoted to prayer in the\nHouse is about a minute. Members\nbegan to shift uneasily on their feet,\nto look at their watches, and, instead of bowing their heads in reverence, they looked at the Speaker,\npleadingly. The Speaker, evidently\nhad been informed of the difficulty\nand, realizing that the business of\nthe House could not proceed without the journal, he was willing that\nthe members get plenty of prayer.\nAfter ten minutes' solid praying the\npreacher showed signs of getting\nnervous. He knew the members were\ngetting restive and he looked down\nto one of the clerks. ,\n\" 'Don't stop,' pleaded the clerk,\n'We haven't found it yet.'\n\"The preacher did not stop until\nhe had been praying for fifteen minutes, at the end of which time the\njournal clerk rushed into the House\nbearing the precious book under his\narm.\n\" 'Amen,' said the chaplain with a\nsigh of relief, and the Speaker\npromptly ordered the clerk to read\nthe journal of the preceding day's\nbusiness.\"\n o \u2014\nGEOLOGICAL SURVEY\nStall' is Too Small For the Work\nRequired of It\nThat the staff of the geological\nsurvey branch of the department of\nmines is too small to cope with the\npressing work waiting for it, is one of\nthe statements made in the annual\nreport of Director Brock, which has\njust been issued.

Tomorrow the members of tiie council, accompanied by\nthe city engineer, will visit prospective sites for water power to supply\ntbe city's needs. Early in the year\nthe subject of steam power as a\ntemporary means of supplying light\nIn the city was investigated. This\nproved too expensive a method and\nother and more permanent sysUms\nare being investigated.\nThere has been urged upon the\ncouncil that a pressing need exists\nfor tbe initiation of a power system\nthat will meet the Immediate needs\nof the city in the matter of light.\nThis was made all the more pressing\nin view of the fact Hint it is felt in\nthe city by many that the system of\nlighting by gasoline it attended with\ndanger.\nA proposition has been made to\ntbe council to furnish power from\ntwo separate sources. These are the\nHocsall River which enters the\nSkeena near Port Essington, and the\nother is the Wolf Creek, which, while\nmuch smaller, has the advantage of\nbeing very much closer to the city\nand could be made, it is reported, to\nserve the needs of the city for some\nlittle time to come. In connection\nwith both of these streams there Is\na considerable power capable of being developed. The capacity of each\nhas been investigated by the Interests that control them and a concrete proposal is ready to be put\nforward.\nTomorrow the members of the\ncouncil will Investigate both of the\npower sites and will then be in a\nbetter position to intelligently discuss them when they come up for\nconsideration.\nAt Tuesday evening's meeting of\nthe city council, when the subject of\nthe visit to the Hoesall River and\nWolf Creek was suggested a very free\ndiscussion followed.\nAid. Hilditch thought it was a very\nwise move on the part of the engineer\nto visit the places and go into this\nquestion. He had reasons for believing that if the city got right to work\nit a plant could be installed to supply light in Prince Rupert by November. It might cost a little more\nto hurry the work so, but the citizens\nwanted it and they should have it.\nAid. Mclntyre was also strongly\nin favor of acting as quickly as possible.\nAid. Pattullo said that If any one\ncould show how they could get the\nlight, it was his duty to do so. What\nwas wanted was action and not merely talk. If it could be shown how the\nlight could be got here by November\nhe would like to hear it.\nAid. Mclntyre felt that the turning\ndown of the original proposition was\na wise move. Two months had been\nwasted since that time, however, and\nan early start should be made so\nthat electric light could be introduced and the gasoline systems done\naway with.\nAid. Lynch could not see how they\ncould hope to have the work done\nbefore the first of the year.\nAid. Naden could not see why the\ncouncil should lie rushed off its feet\nin connection with these matters.\nThey should he carefully considered.\nThey should not he rushed into\nschemes that they would repent of\nlater.\nAid. Pattullo said there was no use\ngeneralizing. If there was any\nscheme to put forward it should be\ndone.\nAid. Mclntyre believed that a system could be put In for about $5,000\nthat would supply a temporary lighting system in the business sections\nnnd thus put away the danger of loss\nfrom fire. There had been a lot of\ntime occupied with the consideration\nof bylaws which had prevented the\nconsideration of these other matters.\nHis Worship objected to aldermen\nusing the expression \"if the council\nwns in earnest.\" The council was\nworking bard to provide for the\nneeds of the city. He lamented the\nfact that the city had allowed so\nmuch time to go by in considering\na scheme of lighting that was later\nfound to he impracticable.\nAid. Hilditch was perfectly satis-\nlied that the light could be in here\nby November 1. It might entail a\nlittle heavier expenditure, but it was\nu matter for the council to consider\nwhether this was worth while. The\ndiscussion would do good, he believed, as it might bring forward action.\nThe engineer, he felt, could get the\npower by November 1, provided no\nspecial machinery was needed.\nAid. Mobley held that there had\nbeen no loss of time. The second\ntenders were called for in connection\nwith the steam proposition in ar effort to spar for time. The question\nof the rate of taxation had a bearing on this. There had really been\nno loss of time. To instal temporary\nplants would be only adding additional danger.\nMayor Stork said that although the\ninsurance companies tolerated these\ngasoline lighting plants, he believed\nthey were dangerous. He would head\na movement to have them removed.\nThese plants, in some cases, had been\nallowed to stand unused during the\nsummer and had corroded. As they\nwere lighted up additional danger\nwould follow.\nAid. Naden was afraid of gasoline\nplants. If the council was of the\nopinion that these were a menace to\nthe community, the council could\nshut them off.\nAid. Lynch thought that the fire insurance companies had made a study\nof the subject and should be better\nqualified to judge of these matters\nthan the council.\nAid. Pattullo did not believe that\nthe rules laid down by the Insurance\ncompanies were complied with.\nHis Worship thought there were\nsome machines that were perfectly\nsafe. The necessary competition had\nresulted in cheaper machines being\nmade that rendered the situation\ndangerous. He did not lige to take\nsuch a drastic step but he would be\nprepared almost to abolish the gasoline system of lighting in the city.\nAid. Pattullo suggested that the\nengineer be asked to give an estimate of the cost of putting in a light\nsystem which found general favor.\nAid.

It Is\nintended to introduce three telephone\nbuoys complete, with their posts; one\nbuoy will be amidships and one of\nthe other two will be placed fore and\nthe other will be placed aft.\nJAPANESE AGGRESSIVE\nAnticipating the opening of the\nPanama Canal, the communications\ndepartment of the Japanese government will shortly send representa-\nti\\o to investigate proposals for the\nextension of subsidized lines on the\nPacific to the eastern coast of the\nUnited States and Brazil, the Argentine and other South American countries.

Empress of\nChina, was the last man upon\nwhom his late Majesty King Edward\nThe G. T. P. steamer Prince Rupert reached port late on Wednesday\nevening with a large number of passengers on board, including quite a\nfew distinguished travellers. There\nwere about 180 passengers and the\nprospects are very bright for an increased travel for this route.\nTiie delay in reaching port was due\nto the Prince Rupert having to lay\noff Rivers Inlet on account of a dense\nfog. This was early Wednesday morning. Otherwise the trip was a delightful one, all the passengers being\nin ecstacy over the scenery of tbe\nroute.\nENTERS PRIVATE BUSINESS\nC. S.

This is the\nopinion of W. G. Ibbotson, of Edmonton, who has been trading there,\nhis post being located twenty miles\nfrom Fort Rae on the north arm of\nthe Great Slave lake. He has been\nal lover the Peace River valley and\nstates from personal observation that\nthis country, for a thousand miles\neast and west, presents the best\nstretch of mixed farming land that\nhas ever been opened to agricultural\nindustry in Canada.\nMr. Ibbotson is convinced that the\nthree great railway systems of Canada\u2014tne C.P.R., the C.N.R., and the\nG.T.P.,-\u2014will all eventually have\nbranches in that rich valley. One\nrailway no doubt will strike the valley by way of the Little Slave lake,\nwhile a second will start northward\nfrom one of the main lines nearer\nthe Rocky mountains. He did not\nthink that the main lines of the\ntranscontinental systems were more\nthan three hundred miles at any\npoint west of Edmonton from the\nPeace River valley, and no very\ngreat engineering difficulties would\nhave to be overcome.\nRegarding the proposed railway\nfrom Edmonton to Fort McMurray\nwhich caused the fall of the Rutherford government, Mr. Ibbotson said\nthat although a great blunder had\nbeen committed, he thought the project would still be carried out under a new form, as a great deal of\nthe country through which the proposed railway will run is already\nsettled, especially for the first hundred miles north of Edmonton, and\nprobably the rest was rich in minerals as well as oil.\n\"Of course,\" said Mr. Ibbotson,\n\"when all that country is taken hold\nof by the public works department\nat Ottawa the question of improving\nthe waterways so as to make navigation possible almost without interruption down the Athabasca and up\nthe Peace for two thousand miles and\nmire, will be a very interesting study,\nbut in the meantime the railways will\nbe extended across country, touching\nthe Peace at different points and\nbringing the district into direct railway communication with the older\nsections of the Dominion.\"\nAs for the thousand mile stretch\nwest of Fort Vermilion, Mr. Ibbotson\nsaid he had seen corn ripen in the\nRoman Catholic mission gardens\nthere. He is sure that the time will\ncome when the entire valley will\nbloom like the rose.\nNORTHERN VOLCANO\nSteamer Montana Passed by Rare and\nWonderful Sight at Uniinak\n\"I did not sow the storm, but I am\nreaping the whirlwind\" Is the concluding sentence of Sir Guy Fleetwood Wilson's Introduction to the\nfinancial state nt and budget of the\nGovernmenl of India. \"No right-\nminded man,\" he says. In the Blue-\nbook just printed for the House of\nCommons, \"can impose additional\ntaxation on India with a light heart,\nu large prooprtion of its people being poor and an appreciable proportion very poor.\"\nTbe \"whirlwind\" referred to above\nmeans extra taxation to the amount\nof \u00a31,133,000. The loss owing to the\ngradual diminution of the export of\nopium to China, amounting to \u00a3871,-\n000, accounts for a large portion of\nthis increase.\nMart .1.
