C, FRIDAY, JULY 14, 1911\nPrice,   Five  Cents.\nGARBAGE PROBLEM\nCity Council Considers the New Bylaw\nGoverning Scavenging in\nCity.\nel. M. Davis Wants the Scow Moored\nin  Another  Place\nNow\nWednesday evening at the city\ncouncil was given over to a large extent to the unsavory subject of scavenging. The bylaw governing the\ndisposal of garbage which contains\nthe contract entered into by J. Weston for two years was considered at\nsome length. In addition to this a\nletter was read from Mr. Davis giving notice that fact that he was not\nto have the towing of the garbage\nscow that the contract for the use\nof his wharf as a mooring place\nshould expire in a week's time.\nThis was referred to the committee to go into for the purpose of\nseeing what was the best thing to\ndo under tbe circumstances.\nThe scavenging bylaw was considered In committee of the whole, when\nseveral knotty Ittle questions arose.\nA feature of the contract which is\nmade a part of the bylaw was that\nthe scavenging firm was to receive\nfree water during the life of the contract.\nThere was some objection to this\nbut the city solicitor pointed out\nthat he only followed the draft contract made between the scavenger\nand Aid. Morrissey, who has charge\nof this work.\nIt was pointed out that the free\nwater should only apply to that used\nin the scavenging business. Water\nused by the members of company in\nany other way should be paid for.\nThe clause was amended to carry\nthis out.\nAnother section gave some concern. This was the clause which\ngave the city scavenger the sole right\nto remove garbage.\nMembers of the council felt that\nwhile the contracting firm should be\nprotected in so far as a prohibition\nagainst others coming In and removing garbage for pay, yet any owner\nof a vehicle who wished to do it\nshould have the right to remove the\ngarbage from his own place provided\nit was done it) accordance with the\nrules laid down by the health office.\nAid. Douglas felt that they were\ntaking away the rights of the citizens in such a move.\nAn amendment to this effect was\nintroduced.\nThe bylaw will be considered later\nin committee.\nFISCAL   BONDAGE\nA. S. Goodeve, N.P. Shows the Weakness\nof the Policy of Government.\nHo Is Not  Prepared in  Days When\nAll Is Prosperous to\nAlter Course\nPRINCE INVESTED\nInteresting Ceremony is Performed at\nCarnarvon Castle in\nWales.\nWelsh  People Give Enthusiastic Be-\nccption to Royalty on Visit\nYesterday\ntSpecial to The Journal)\nCanarvon, Wales, July 14.\u2014In the\nCastle of Carnarvon yesterday the\nyoung Prince of Wales was invested\nwith the sinsignia of his high office.\nGreat crowds gathered along the\nrouthe from Griffiths Crossing, near\nhere, where the royal party alighted,\nto the castle gate. The scene within the castle was picturesque, Their\nmajesties and the prince received an\nenthusiastic reception.\n o\t\nMINING O* ISLAND\nE. M. Morgan of Lockport, Queen\nCharlotte Island, reports that nine\nmen are at work on the Nelson\ngroup of copper-gold claims at Lock-\nport, on which $5,000 is being spent\non their development this summer.\nHe has great confidence in this\ngroup and expects them to be shipping before long. On the Apex\ngroup, Russ Bell, Bill Harris and\nAlex. Patterson are also doing considerable work. It is expected that\nthe construction of the new government wharf will he commenced\nshortly.\n o\t\nJ. H. Bacon has returned to the\ncity. He will spend some little time\nhere now. Mr. Bacon remarks upon\nthe progress made in transforming\nthe streets in business thoroughfares\nduring his absence.\nSpeaking In Vancouver on questions of the day A. S. Goodeve,\nM. P. for Kootenay, expressed his\nopinion as to the reciprocity pact.\nBefore dealing with reciprocity he\ngave a short sketch of work done in\nthe present session. The forest reserve bill was also a matter which\ntouched Britisii Columbia closely.\nThe Conservatives were heartily In\nsympathy with forest conservation,\nbut they did fight against a subsection in the bill giving the absolute\njurisdiction over these reserves and\nall they contained, to the minist r\nof the interior, thus making him\nczar over 25,000 square miles of valuable county. He pointed out that\nthe predecessor of the minister of\nthe interior bad been able to make\nenormous wealth for himself out of\nthe resources of the country.\nOriental Immigration\nSpeaking on the question of Japanese immigration, he pointed to the\ngood work done by Mr. Cowan In\nopposing the continuance of the old\nagreement with the Japanese government, by which they were giving\nto the Japanese greater freedom than\nwas ever accorded to British subjects.\nUnder that agreement if a shipload\nof Japanese landed in Vancouver no\none could say them \"Nay.\" The minister of agriculture went further and\nsaid not only would they let the Japanese in, but they were seriously\nconsidering whether they should not\nallow the Chinese in on the same\nterms. In face of all their pledges\nthey were prepared to hand over the\ncontrol of immigration to Oriental\nnations themselves.\nTouching on the Verville eight\nhour bill he quoted Sir Wilfrid Laurier, saying that he had no doubt the\nworkingmen of Canada would like\nto see the bill passed in its original\nform, but there were other people\nthan the working classes to be considered. Sir Wilfrid Laurier did not\nsay this until after the bill had been\ncirculated throughout Canada in its\noriginal form, and it was afterwards\namended so as to make it ineffective.\nWhen any government did this they\ndeceived the people and wronged the\nwhole Dominion of Canada. (Applause.)\nReciprocity\n\"I will now,\" said the speaker,\n\"turn to that question which has\nstirred more feeling than any other\nquestion in Canada since Confederation. I mean the great question of\nreciprocity.\"\nHe said that the government accused the Conservatives of waving the\nold flag. Well, if they studied history they would find that no nation\nhad ever become so on a cold blooded question of dollars and cents, but\nby the warmer motives of patriotism\nand loyalty. (Cheers.)\n\"If, however,\" he continued,\nthey wish to discuss the question on\na cold blooded dollar and cent basis,\nwe are quite ready to meet them.\"\nHe said that one of the great arguments used in favor of reciprocity\nwas thai it would open to the people\nof Canada u market of 90,000,000\npeople to the soutn. But was It not\na fact that last year we had bought\nfrom this nation goods to the value\nof $223,000,000 and they had\nbought from us $112,000,0000, or\njust about half? Last year 80 per\ncent of our eports went to the Mother\nCountry, and to the United States\nonly 9 per cent.\nTwo men had gone down to Washington and, meeting there the representatives of the United States, had\nbolted the door and pulled down the\nblind and said, \"Now let us have a\nlittle game of reciprocity together.\"\nThe Americans had said, \"What will\nyou give us?\" and the Canadians\nhad replied, among other things, \"We\nwill give you the fruit market that\nshould belong to British Columbia.\"\nThe speaker next pointed out how\nthe pact worked out to the disadvantage of Canada in the timber and\npulp industry.\nMr. Goodeve then quoted from the\nAmerican \"Pearsons' an article by\nMr. Benson in which he showed clearly   that   the   people   of   the   United\nAMENDMENT  PASSED\nAlderman Smith Objects to Report in\nNewspaper Concerning\nHimself.\nHe Relieves It Must Have Reen Made\nWitli Malicious\nIntent\nThe liquor bylaw amendment\npassed its final stage at the city\ncouncil meeting on Wednesday when\nit came up for final consideration.\nAid. Douglas moved that the suspension of Clause 36 only affect\nhotel licenses.\nThis amendment was lost, only\nAid. Douglas and Newton voting\nfor it.\nAid. Newton later moved the six\nmonths' liolst in connection with the\nfinal adoption of the amendment and\nin doing so challenged the right of\nAid. Smith to vote -on this in view\nof the fact that his brother had a\nlicense which would be affected by\nthis.\nAid. Smith asked the ruling of the\ncity solicitor on this point.\nMr. Peters said there was no question as to the right of Aid. Smith\nto vote on the question. He was in\nno way disqualified.\nOn further discussion, Mr. Peters\nexplained that Aid. Smith was not\nvoting on these licenses at all in his\nvote at the council board.\nThe bylaw was finally adopted.\nAid. Smith, before the matter was\nclosed, called attention to the statement which appeared in the News,\nin which Aid. Newton was credited\nwith stating that Aid. Smith .was interested in a bottle license. Aid.\nNewton, as he understood it, never\nmade such a statement and he could\nnot understand why the report so\nappeared. It looked to him \"as\nthough it were put in there with malicious  intent.\"\nAid. Newton said he did not say\nthat Aid. Smith was interested ir\nthe license and at some length re\npeated his stand on the question.\nWENT TO HAZELTON BASEBALL LEAGUE ASK FOR REASONS\nProvincial Mineralogist Has   Left\nInterior on Season's Field Work\nfor Department.\nfor\nHe Will  .Make mi  Inspection of the\nMining Locations Now in\nPublic Eye\nOn the Prince Rupert on Wednesday, there arrived William Fleet\nRobertson, the provincial mineralogist on his way to Hazelton. He\nleft by the train a few hours later.\n\u2022Mr. Robertson will be absent about\nseven or eight weeks, probably during which time he will make an examination into the mining properties\nin the interior of this northern section of country.\nHis visit is another indication of\nthe deep interest which Premier McBride takes in this part of the province, the premier being minister of\nmines, and thus directly responsible\nfor the visit of the mineralogist.\nThe provincial mineralogist is not\nconcerned usually in heralding his\nvisits, preferring to go Into a ramp\nand make a careful examination for\nhimself, reporting the exact conditions as he finds them. He is never\ncharged with being overly optimistic\nwith respect to mining locations, his\nreports being always well within the\nsafe line and as such are never\ndoubted by the investing public.\nMrs. Robertson accompanied her\nhusband on the trip as far as here\nand their son Douglas also came\nnorth.

PRINCE RUPERT JOURNAL\nFriday, July 14, 1911\nMINERAL OUTPUT\nMinister of Mines for  B.C. Presents\nHis Annual Report for\n1910.\nThe Total  Production  Shows  a   Decided Increase Over Last\nYear\nThe annual report of the minister\nof mines for Britisii Columbia for\nthe calendar year ended December\n31, 1910, which is the offcial account\nof the year's mining operations in\ntbe province, was issued a few days\nago. As usual, it is comprehensive,\nsystematically arranged and very\nillustrated.\nIn particular, many engaged in, or\notherwise concerned about, mining\nin Britisii Columbia are well pleased\nto have thus placed at their disposal\nthe provincial mineralogist's annual\nsurvey of the condition and progress\nof the industry, based partly on the\npersonal observations of that official and partly upon the reports sent\nin to the bureau of mines by gold\ncommissioners and mining recorders,\ntogether with the important addition\nof statistical and other information\nderived from returns supplied to the\nbureau by owners or other operators\nof mines and smelters in the province.\nStatistics\nThe statistics of production, carefully compiled from the most reliable\ndata obtainable and presented in tabulated form so as to clearly exhibit\nthe position from a comparative point\nof view, are of much practical value\nto those using the information thus\nmade conveniently accessible. From\nsome of these it Is ascertained that\nthe net increase in value of production of 1910, as compared with that\nof 1909, is $1,934,041; that respective totals for the two years being\n$26,377,066 and $24,443,025. Incidentally, it may here be mentioned\nthat last year's total value was the\ngreatest of any year in the history\nof mining in Britisii Columbia, the\nprevious highest record having been\nthat for 1907, with a total of $25,-\n882,560. The proportions of the several minerals included in last year's\ntotal of production, and the respective increases and decreases, are\nshown in the following excerpt from\none of the tables:\nGold, placer, $540,000; increase\n$03,000.\nGold, lode, $5,553,380; increase,\n$0(19,290.\n$1,245,016;\nSilver,\n$5,746.\nLead,     I\n$322,909.\nCopper,\n$1,047,010\nZiu\n12;\nCoal,\n495.\nCoke.\n044.\nOther\ncrease, I\nTotal\nIncrease\n1,386,350;\n$4,781,\n$192,475;\n9,800,101\nincrease\ndecrease\ndecrease\ndecrease,   $207,-\nincrease $2,777,-\n$1,308,174; decrease, $244,-\n1,500,000;    In.\nmaterial,\n300,000.\nproduce,   $26,377,066;    net\n$1,934,041.\nTotal Production\nThis production added to that of\nall previous years brings the aggregate value of the mineral production\nof the province to Hie beginning of\n1911 up to $37 1,1 lie,650. The proportions arc shown in the next following table:\nGold, placer   $ 71,213,103\nHold, lode         60,811,067\nlows: British Columbia, $24,684,\n593; Yukon, $4,550,000; all other\nprovinces,  $38,551,838.\nLarge   Increase   in   Coal\nThe most noticeable feature In the\nmineral production of the year was\nthe large increase in coal.    The gross\noutput,   that  is   including   the  coal,\nmade into coke, was 3,139,235  tons\n(of 2240 pounds).    This is the greatest production of this mineral made\nin the history of coal mining in the\nprovince.    After a deduction of 339,-\n189 tons made into coke, the net output of coal was 2,800,046 tons, which\nis an increase of nearly 800,000 tons\nover that of the year 1909.    As the\ngreatest  net  increase  made  In  any\nprevious year was of about 328,000\ntons, which was In 1909 as compared\nwith  1908, it is very evident that a\nbig advance was made last year.  Before turning to other matters it will\nhere be noted  that Included in  the\nlull   information   given   relative  to\ncoal ining is some, presented in tabulated form, showing (1) the output\nand the per capita production of coal\nIn  the  several  districts  during the\nlast four years  and (2) analyses of\naccidents in coal mines in different\ndistricts during 1910.    These tables\ngive interesting data, especially valuable for purposes of comparison.\nOther Noticeable Features\nThe special reports included In the\nreport  ore  those  of  the  provincial\nmineralogist on Portland Canal, Lillooet and Tatlayoko districts, and of\nthe provincial assayer on part of Atlin mining division, Bella Coola and\nValdez   Island.     Those   on   Lillooet\nand Tatlayoko districts are of more\nthan ordinary interest since there has\nnot heretofore been available much,\nif any,  official information  relative\nto them.    These descriptive articles\nare  rendered   more   interesting  and\nvaluable  by  reason   of  their  being\nfreely illustrated with some excellent\nand representative views.\nThe reports of the various branches\nof work done by or under the bureau\nof mines also deserve favorable notice.

Cowie an Authority on This Branch\nof the Fishing Industry\nGives Advice.\nHe Suggests That Nets Should Re Set\nso as to Outlier in Harvest From\nDeep Water\nIn a pamphlet issued by the marine and fisheries department regarding herring fisheries the suggestion\nis made that instead of relying upon\nthe coming of herring Into the harbors as has been the custom of fishermen they should secure drifter?\nand take herring in the open waters,\nAfter publishing a number of reports\nfrom various places to the effect that\nherring were plentiful outside- and\ndid not come into the harbors, with\nthe result that tbe fishery was unsuccessful, J. J. Cowie, author of the\npamphlet, says: \"This Is surely a\nserious and deplorable state of uncertainty which hampers this important industry. Were it otherwise\nnot only would a sure and plentiful\nsupply of fresh bait be secured when\nmost needed, but a greater quantity\nof this unsurpassed quality of summer herring would be packed for consumption as food and the wealth produced from our seas materially increased. Seeing therefore that 'the\nmountain does not come to Mahomet,\nMahomet must move out to the mountain.' In other words, the habitat\nof the summer schools must be\nsought ten, twenty, or thirty miles\nout in deep water. This applies to\nthe Pacific as well as to the Atlantic\ncoast. The important herring fishery at Nanaimo, B. C, was little more\nthan a failure last season because\nthe big schools did not enter the\nharbor as usual, but kept swimming\noutside in the Gulf of Georgia most\nof the season.\n\"In order to benefit by the presence of these off-shore schools, and\nto solve forever the serious question\nof bait supply, it becomes necessary\nthat our fishermen should direct\ntheir thoughts to the plan which for\ncenturies has been found so effective\nfor deep sea herring fishermen by\nthe fishermen of Norway, Holland,\nFrance and Great Britain, namely,\nthat of drift net fishing. The term\ndrift net partially explains the method. The nets are neither anchored\nnor towed, but are strung out across\nthe tide at any distance from the\nland where signs of fish are apparent to the experienced fisherman and\nthe vessel and nets allowed to drift\nor move with the tide. Any ordinary\nCanadian fishing schooner of 10, 15\nor 20 tons with a good big main\nhatch can be readily used as a drifter\nto carry from 15 to 20 nets. If fitted\nwith a gasoline engine, so much the\nbetter In order to make to and from\nthe land, if necessary, for the dis\nposal of fresh catches. To prepare\nordinary Canadian herring nets for\ndrifting they should he mounted with\na much stronger head or cork rope\nthan that used at present. The ends\nof the nets should be made fast to\neach other, at top aud bottom, so as\nto form a continuous string of netting. Wliere each net is joined to\nthe other, at the top, there should be\nmade fast a rope of about three fathoms length, at the end of which\nshould be attached a buoy, or small\ncask of sufficient buoyancy to remain\nabove water when the nets are set.\nAlong the foot rope should be strung\nthe usual amount of lead or other\nsinkers.\n\"The fisherman must use his own\nJudgment as to the most suitable size\nof net to be used. There are times\nwhen a fleet of small meshed nets\nwould pay him best, while at other\ntimes nets of a large mesh would he\nmost profitable to him. Before proceeding to sen the fleet of nets so\nstrung together should be carefully\nlaid In the hold, on some sort of\ntemporary platform, one net after\nthe other, with the head rope aft\nand tbe other rope forward. The\nsetting, or shooting of a fleet of\ndrift nets, although a simple operation in itself, requires a great deal\nof judgment and care. On reaching\nthe desired spot for fishing, which\nmust be well clear of vessels at\nanchor, and of sufficient depth to\nprevent the foot rope of the nets from\ncatching the bottom, and assuming\nthat the tide runs east and west,\nwith the wind, say, from the southerly direction, the vessel, with just\nenough sail set to give steering way,\nwould head away in a northerly direction, while the nets are paid out\nover the lee side. When the nets\nare all out the sail is taken In and\nthe vessel swung around bow on to\nthe fleet. One end of n strong manila\nrope Is made fast to the last net,\nand the other end to the vessel. This\nrope should be let out to a length\nof about 20 fathoms.\n\"Drifting nets should be set at sun\nset and hauled in at daybreak as a\ngeneral rule; thus, in the course of\nfive or six intervening hours the ves-\nel and nets will have moved with\nthe tide over a considerable stretch\nof water, which obviously must give\nthe nets a much better chance of\nstriking a body of fish than if anchored to one spot the whole night\nthrough. The herring are sometimes\nastir at the close of evening, and at\nother times about dawn, and in such\ncases the fisherman has to rely on\nhis own judgment as to when he\nshould begin hauling in his nets. The\nnets should not be allowed to remain in the water during the daytime. This is an objectionable practice because the herring, being a very\ntimid fish, is apt to be thereby scared\naway from the vicinity.\n\"The operation of hauling in the\nnet should be performed on the\nweather or windward side of the vessel. The wisdom of this course Is\nplain, for otherwise the tendency of\nthe vessel would be to drive over\nits own nets. During the haullng-in\nprocess the herring should be shaken\nclean out of the nets.\n\"Although, as a rule, the length\nof the buoy ropes, or in other words,\nthe distance between the top of the\nnets and the surface of the water\nis about three fathoms, experience\nhas taught drift net fishermen that\nthe depth at which herring swim,\nespecially in clear northern waters,\nvaries with the lightness and darkness of the night, and with the coldness and warmth of the atmosphere.\nOn dark nights, or when the weather\nis mild they swim well up towards\nthe surface, and in such circumstances the buoy rope is shortened;\nwhile on moonlight nights, or when\nthe weather is cold the buoy rope\nis lengthened and the nets let well\ndown  from  the surface.\n\"Practical fishermen do not require to be reminded of the fact\nthat herring fishing in any form is\na more or less uncertain business,\nand anything calculated to minimize\nthis uncertainty Is bound to appeal\nto them.\n\"Now, while drift net fishermen\nhave no definite guide in locating\nbodies of herring other than the appearance of whales and gannets, and\nthe knowledge that certain fishing\ngrounds were found prolific on some\nprevious occasion; and although at\ntimes a whole night is spent toiling\nfor nothing. It cannot be doubted,\nwith respect to summer and fall\nschools, that the success of our Canadian fishermen would be much more\ncertain If, instead of laying immovable .traps, and setting fixed nets\nclose to the shore with hope that\nthe course of the great armies of\nherring may be deflected towards\nthem, they carried the war right\nInto the natural domain of the finny\ntribe by means of movable drift nets.\nSuch reports as those quoted, that\nherring schooled outside the harbor,\nand were consequently beyond the\nreach of the fishermen's nets, would\nthen cease to come to hand.\n\"Many European writers of an\nearlier day have given it as their\nopinion that herring annually descend\nfrom the Arctic circle in huge masses, dividing into smaller schools and\ndistributing themselves over well\nknown haunts near the shore. In\nthe light of the knowledge gained,\nhowever, by the enormous development of the French, British, Dutch\nand Norwegian herring fisheries, and\nby the pursuit of this fishery at times\nand places not dreamed of by those\nearly writers, the theory of the great\ndescent from the nortli is now looked\nupon by scientists and others as erroneous, and in its place is accepted\nwhat is doubtless the true one; namely, that herring inhabit the seas adjacent to the coasts and bays where\nthey resort for spawning purposes,\nand that after spawning they move\nback to the deep water In the neighborhood, where they remain feeding\nuntil the spawning season again approaches. That this opinion is the\nmost rational one Is evidenced by\nthe fact that on the British coasts,\nfor example, herring of a particular\nsize and quality resort to the same\nlocality every year.\"\nSkeena Land District\u2014District of\nQueen Charlotte Islands.\nTAKE NOTICE that James Mul-\nlin, of Murdo, So.

H.

He has passed 80 per\ncent of his pupils, which is a very\ncreditable showing in view of all the\ncircumstances.\nOut of the number who passed two,\nLloyd and Katherine Johston, have\nmoved from the city, so that the\nschool stands with but a small number of pupils fitted for High School\nwork. It is not probable under the\ncircumstances that the trustees will\nsee their way clear to opening a High\nSchool at present.

The Witness says editorially:\n\"We have no question that the\nworld is moving towards better\nthings. Those of us ia, whom this\nforward vision has assumed the instrumentality of the Britisii Empiro\nas one of the great forces in bring\ning this about look upon the continuance of that Empire as being in\nthe line of greatest-good to the world,\nand it seems not to need proof that\nIts continuance depends on its organic cohesion. We must confess\nthat we find it difficult to co-ordinate this elementary view with the\nobjection raised by Sir Wilfrid Laurier to governments of tbe dominions\nbeing consulted by the Imperial government in matters affecting foreign\npolicy. He is reported to have said\nthat such consultation would imply\na duty on the part of such dominions to aid the Empire which protects them, and of which they have\nhitherto been supposed to form a\npart. It looks very much like a declaration that Canada is not an integral part of the Empire, but a\ndependency\u2014and at that, a dependency that assures its independence.\n\"This is an untenable position.\nThe very declaration of it reveals itq\ninstability. We must either move\ntoward the Empire or away from it.\nFor Canada, any weakening of the\nBritish tie means dependence in another direction. We cannot but gather from Sir Wilfrid's practical declaration of independence, taken with\nthis larger vision, that he would\nrather see his county develop into\none of a group of allied nations than\ninto a part of the Britisii Empire,\nwith the obligations that that relationship necessarily implies. Yet,\neven were that a desirable destiny,\nwe cannot side with him In questioning Canada's liability to share in the\nImperial foreign policy The liability would not be less but prac\ntically more, were she a separate\nallied power. Hitherto the ground\nof refusal\u2014a flimsy one we have\nalways called it\u2014has been the fact\nthat Canada has no share in the\ncounsels of the Empire. We never\nhad any doubt that she would have\nher full share, if not more than her\nfull due, if she would only do her\nshare. But the crucial moment came\nwhen the promise was made to share\nthose counsels. The Mother Country\ndeclared that in future tbe governments of the dominions would be\nconsulted with regard to all foreign\npolicy affecting them\u2014that is, upon\nall questions that are Imperial in\ntheir scope ns distinguished from\ntrade questions, which, at the demand\nof tlie colonics, each member is free\nto negotiate separately. Instead of\nhailing this forward step, Sir Wilfrid repuriated it for the reason that\nhe gave.\nFurther Obstruction\n\"He also took the lead in obstructing the extension to tlie dominions\nof that benign labor movement railed\nthe Labor Exchange, the object of\nwhich was to create a national, and,\nIf possible, nn Imperial registry office, tu reduce unemployment by the\nexchange of Information as to where,\nwithin the Empire, any particular\nclass of labor might be needed. The\nImperial value of this is undeniable.\nIts value in Canada, if Canada is to\nretain her British constitution and\nto assimilate her inflowing foreign\nelement, is obvious. Its humanitarian claims are imperative. Yet, from\nthe point of view of pure protectionism, and in the interests of those\nwho wish to monopolize the oppor-\ntunites of Canada, Sir Wilfrid refused, on the part of Canada, to cooperate. In doing so he no doubt\nspoke the mind of those in Canada\nmost interested,, and he plainly gave\nas bis reason that it would not be\nwelcome to them. It is no doubt the\npart of a statesman to express the\nknown will of his people. But in\nso far as this is the declaration of\nseparation, and a refusal to share\nwith our fellow subjects in Great\nBritain the blessing which Great\nBritain at their expense has so largely conferred upon us. This is in some\nrespects a more serious refusal than\nthe other. We should expect, with\nsome regard to the question of con\nsultations, that the Imperial government would consult the dominions\nall the same, and that If Sir Wilfrid\nrefused to be consulted, someone\nwould be found who would not. The\nconditions are here, whether they\nagree with our liking or not. But\nin the other matter we are inclined\nto think he has the mass of the people with him, in so far as their views\nare articulate, and that the policy\nthat has reversed the noble old boast\nof the United States, that It was a\nshelter for all the distressed, and\nthat has so greatly checked the advance to Australia, is prevailing with\nus to our great detriment.\nGOVERNMENT QUARRY\nCHILLIWACK\u2014The discovery of\na good granite quarry on the Ved-\nder mountain will facilitate the work\nof making the inter-provincial highway a good stone road.

The team as\nit  is  at  present   constituted   Is  the\nstrongest that has ever represented\nthis city,  all of the players are In\nthe  best  possible condlton  and  the\nhome  has  perfected   a  combination\nthat is hard to beat.    It  is argued\nthat  the  Royals  are  not  the  same\nteam they were when they won the\ncup or even last season.    This may\nbe true, but this season Is probably\nthe first one in which they have been\nreally  called  upon  to extend  themselves, and they are opposed  to an\naggregation of stick wielders equally\nas clever and  who  set a pace  they\ncan   maintain   from   start   to   finisl:\nUnless the Vancouvers show an aw\nful reversal of form in one of their\nmatches their prospects for bringing\nthe cup over here are bright.    So far\nIn the league competition the teams\nhave been successful in  their home\nmatches,   but   the   Vancouvers   have\nmade  it closer in  their  matches  In\nNew Westminster than the champions\nhave in their games here.    That is\none reason why the Vancouvers look\nstronger  than  their  opponents.     In\nthe opening match in the Royal City\non May 24, the Royals got home by\na one goal margin, and in the next\ngame   only  the  odd   goal  separated\nthe teams at the finish, and in this\nparticular     match     the    champions\nplayed  for twenty minutes with  all\nbut one  man  on  the defence, Vancouver pressing hard right up until\nthe   finish.     There   is   no   question\nbut that the locals will continue to\nimprove -in   their   matches   on   'the\nQueen's Park oval, and if the champions  ever  slip  a  cog long  enough\nto let Vancouver get a goal or two\nin front it will take some phenomenal\nwork on the part of the red shirts\nto even up.    The Royals were a good\nteam,  the best in the business, but\nthis season the Vancouvers are just\nas good if not better, and if the locals can turn the trick at New West\nminster next Saturday the champions\nwill find the sledding hard in fu-ture\nmatches.    In the event of the teams\nwinning a'l of their home matches,\nthe league series resulting in a tie,\nit  is  altogether  likely  that  a  two-\ngame series will be played, one match\nIn  each  city, the total   number   of\ngoals scored to decide the issue.    At\npresent  the Vancouvers are leading\nin the aggregate of goals by a five-\ngoal margin.    The team scoring the\nmajority   of   goals   in    the   league\nmatches  this  season   will  receive  a\nhandsome cup, the gift of T. P. Hart-\nney, a well known local enthusiast,\nTcciiinselis  May   Come  West\nIt   begins   to  look  as   if  Charlie\nQuerrie  will   pilot  the  Toronto  Te-\ncumsehs to another championship in\nthe east.    The Indians have a clean\nsheet to date, being the only undefeated team in the N. L. U., and as\nthey have won from the Nationals in\nMontreal   they  will   find   the   going\neasier.    Torontos hardly look  as if\nthey will come through, while Montreal appears to be the only other\nreal contender for the w nfalon, and\nthe wearers of the winged \"M\" have\nnot been showing any form to date\nthat would seem to indicate that they\nwere destined for another championship.\nShould the Vancouvers win the\n.Minto Cup, and there are thousands\nof Vancouverites who expect them to,\nPresident Con Jones will take the\nteam on a tour of the east, leaving\nthe latter part of September. Matches\nwould be played In all the leading\neastern cities. According to Charlie\nQuerrie, manager of the Tecumsebs,\nif the Indians win the N. L. U. title\nthis season they will Immediately\nchallenge for the Mnito Cup, which\nwould mean that the Vancouvers, In\nthe event of winning the B, C.| championship, would |have to postpone\ntheir little jaunt until they have It\nout with the eastern Redskins in a\ncup series.\n***************************\nwould permit. Pursuits from the\nscene of action were plentiful and\noften the judge of play sought refuge behind disguises. Police were\nnot present, as they are today, and\nthe league chiefs did not back up\ntheir  men.\nSilk a Beau Hriiinmel.\n\"Did I ever get chased by an\nangry mob?\" queried Silk in St.\nLouis, looking more like a retired\nclothing merchant than a mere arbitrator, for Silk, whose neck looks\nred upon the ball yard, Is quite the\nBeau Brummel of the arbitrators,\nwearing polished shoes, even creases\nin his pants, and a green necklie on\nstate occasions.\n\"Being pursued by an excited\nthrong is no fun,\" continued the\numpire, \"and let us pass over that\nlightly. The funniest thing I ever\ndid see happened in Syracuse, N. Y.\nback In the late 90s.\n\"You remember Mickey Finn, who\nmanaged ball clubs at Youngston,\n0., Little Rock and elsewhere?\nWell, Mickey was manager of the\nAlbany club. I was just breaking in\nas an umpire. You know in the old\ndays they used to erect roofs over\nthe home players' bench and let the\nvisitors swelter in the sun. In 1897,\nI think it was, the order went out\nin the National League that both\nbenches should be protected from the\nweather. In Syracuse they stretched\ncanvas over the visiting bench and\nlet it go at that.\nHeer Always Plentiful\n\"Baseball in those days was not conducted with the decency which\nmarks the game now. Beer always\nwas an important part of every game\nand the grounds that didn't own a\nsaloon drew little patronage. They\nhad a good one in Syracuse.\n\"Syracuse and Albany oved each\nother less than Cleveland and Detroit sympathized in 1908, when the\nNaps finished a half game behind\nthe Tigers. To make a long story\nshort, Albany came over to Syracuse,\nand Mickey Finn, as manager, came\nalong. The race was close, and\nMickey was none too popular in the\nhome town.\n\"Early in the game Syracuse\nforged ahead, and later Albany enjoyed a spurt and had a lead of two\nruns. Tbe crowd had been guying\nFinn when his team was behind, and\nwhen his men took the lead he could\nnot refrain from telling the fellows\nback of the bench what he thought\nof them.\nMickey Finn Baptized\n\"All of a sudden there was a big\ncommotion about the Albany bench,\nand a couple of policemen ran out\nand gTabbed Finn, who shook his\nfists and shouted all mannner of evil\nat the home rooters. I stopped the\ngame and went over to see what\nhad happened. I found out. Somebody had taken a knife, cut a hole\nin the canvas roof of the Albany\nbench and poured a bucket of beer\non Finn just as he was telling the\nhome rooters where they should go.\nWhen the players found out what\nhappened they nearly died from\nlaughing.\n\"Just think of anything like that\noccurring today. After the games\nnow the umpire can throw out his\nchest and walk away Ifrom the\nground with all the dignity of a\nman who paid $1.50 for a box seat.\nNobody chases you, and if the criwd\ngoes so far as to throw cushions, fifteen policemen suround you and\nbounce the missies off their helmets.\n\"No, the 'good old days' may be\nall right for the fellows who played\nball then,\" concluded Silk, \"but, as\nfor us umpires we will take ours\nas they hand It to us In 1911 in\nthe big leagues.\"\nGOOD OLD DAYS\nTlie \"good old days\" of baseball,\njustly celebrated and far-famed by\nsuch old timers as have come to life\nagain to write pieces for the papers,\nand magnates, bear no charms for\none class of active sport participants\n\u2014name, the umpires, Ask any arbitrator the golden ago of baseball\nendeavor and In a voice you can hear\nin Kansas City he will shout:\n\"Right now!\"\nFar be it from us to hang upon\nthe fluffy locks of silk O'Loughlin\nthe suspicion Of old age, but Francis\nlabored dodging plays In the days\nwhen pop bottles were natural and\napproved weapons of offence when\nthe festive athlete in his wrath did\nanything   to   tin-   umpire  his  size\nPLAYGROUNDS\nExtract from speech by T. C. Hors-\nfall on the subject of open spaces,\ngardens and recreation grounds .\nTown planning conference, London, England, October, 1910.\n\"This Is a subject to which I have\ndevoted 30 years of attention and\nwork, and I know it to be one of the\nmost important subjects that can\npossibly occupy the attention of English people. It Is absolutely impossible to bring up children in health\nIn a town of any size unles you give\nthem systematic physical training;\nand, of course, the open space Is the\ncondition sine qua non for giving\nchildren a good physical training,\nbecause physically the training given\nIn tho closed room is not one hundredth part the value of that which\nIs given in the fresh air. I would\nlike those of you who do not. know\nthe facts, to realize bow- urgent Is the\nneed of giving our children open\nsiuices. In the perodirnl panics which\ntake possession of the land at short\nintervals, we all clamor for more\nDreadnoughts;   but  does the nation\never ask itself where it is going to\nget the men for those Dreadnoughts?\nThe navy needs about 5,000 boys a\nyear. It cannot get 5,00 boys up to\nits standard, and to get 5,000 boys\nof useable quality it has to reject\n30,000 bays a year. That Is one of\nthe most horrible facts connected\nwith civilized life, that I know.\n\"Then, with regard to the army,\nthings are as bad. In Manchester in\n1899, 11,000 young men offered to\nenlist. Eight thousand had to be\nrejected at once. Of the 3,00 who\nwere not rejected, only 1 000 were\ngood enough for regiments of the\nline, and 2,000 went into militia regiments. In Germany, by virtue of\ngood gymnastic training given to the\npeople, 58 per cent of the young men\ncan pass a much more severe examination than we subject our recruits\nto. Germany has long given, weekly,\ntwo hours of gymnastic training to\nall Its children in the elementary\nschools. It has now put on a third\nhour weekly. Even that does not\nsuffice, and a very large organization, the like of which is unknown\nin Great Britain, for the promotion\nof popular and children's games, has\nbeen formed.\n\"The association recognizes that\nchildren must have games in addition to systematic gymnastic training. Under its nfluence an act has\nbeen passed which allows districts\nto have compulsory games on one\nafternoon a week for all the children\nattending the elementary schools in\nthe town. Tbe Germans are people\nof common sense and they know that\nthe child it not much helped, if it\nis simply offered a playground.\nKnowledge of games has died out\namongst our urban population, or in\na great part of it. The Germans\nknow, therefore, that they must provide open spaces, and also must provide keepers of order and teachers of\ngames. They have trained more\nthan 20,000 teachers, men and women, to act as leaders of games in\nelementary schools. They give them\na small addition to their salaries on\ncondition that they give their services on the afternoons for compulsory games.\n\"Let me give you one typical result: The town of Pforzheim, in\nBaden, has 50,000 inhabitants. Its\nair is polluted with smoke, and there\nis a good deal of chemical vapor.\nThe town is rapidly growing and the\nchildren were getting sicklier and\nsicklier every year. The Germans are\ngreat people for recording statistics\nand they recorded these useful figures \u2014 the figures relating to the\nnumber of hours which the children\nwere compelled to be absent from the\nelementary schools owing to illness.\nThe number of hours was increasing\nsteadily year by year by 10,000, in\nspite of the gymnastic training. The\nyear before last the Pfrozheim town\ncouncil introduced a compulsory afternoon for games and last year, not\nonly was there not the normal increase of 10,000 hours of sickness,\nbut they reduced the number of\nhours of sickness of the previous\nyear by 25,000.\n\"An Englishman who has a great\ndeal to do with the training of instructors for the boys in our navy,\ntold me that he Swedes have been\nchanged from one of the most degenerate nations in Europe, as they\nwliere some years ago, into physically, the finest people in Europe, by\nmeans of those great improvements\n\u2014town planning, temperance and\ngood physical training of the young\npeople. What is most encouraging\nis that the urban Swedes arc even\na finer race than the country Swedes,\nin spit of the advantage of purer\nair in the country, because physical\ntraining can be given in the town\nand that makes all the difference in\nthe world.\"\nRATHER SUGGESTIVE\nA well known New York clergyman, Rev.

Yet the result obtained by\nthese methods is to ensure recognition of the republic from Europe s\ncivilized nations\nTo further the cause of Republicanism daily arrests are made of persons supposed to be implicated in\nanti-Republican piots. These are\nthe men who have preached freedom,\nequality, and fraternity, but who fail\nto practice it.\n o\t\nFINANCIAL REVIEW\nThe recent general elections In\nPortugal afford timely opportunity\nfor a review of the conditions leading up to the result In the complete\nconfirmation of the people of Portugal in republican ideals. For the\nbenefit of those who have not followed matters closely it is necessary\nto go lightly over events from October 5 last to date, otherwise a just\nappreciation of the situation is impossible, says the London Standard.\nOn October 5, 1910, a republic was\ndeclared by means of the gross\ntreachery of a prime minister, who\ndelivered his king and his country\nto a band of Republicans, who could\nnot have assumed power without his\naid. Of the Monarchists it can only\nbe said that some knew what was\ncoming, and were either indifferent\nor afraid, and the others were taken\nabsolutely off tneir guard. The army\nwas also betrayed by its headquarters staff, and never had a chance of\nshowing its fidelity to its king and\nto its oath of loyalty.\nThus we find a body of men placed\nIn power by an act of treachery\u2014\nnot by the country's wish. These\nmen had a dlficult task before them,\nthough the finances of the country\nand its commerce generally were in\na better condition than they had been\nfor some years. The obvious policy\nwas to show clemency to opposing\nviews and to try to attract to the\nside of the government the more\nhonest elements in the country for\nthe purpose of evolving a policy of\ndevelopment without oppression. But\nthey had made use of dangerous\ntools\u2014those of the lower-grade Democrats\u2014and found that, instead of\ngoverning, they must obey those who\nhad placed them in power. One of\nthe first steps was the expulsion of\nthe Jesuits, which, although it may\nhave been necessary, was carried out\nin an unnecessarily bruta' manner.\nThen came the law authorizing\nstrikes, which has really placed the\nemployer of labor at the mercy of\nthose  he  employs  and   pays.\nThe law of landlord and tenant follows, by which the landlord has to\nsubmit to an entire 'alteration of his\nrelationship towards his tenant without being consulted on the matter.\nOmitting sundry small decrees of\ndoubtful necessity, wp come to that\ndecree widening the means of avoiding all matrimonial ties\u2014a law\nwhich has given great offence to the\nnorth and many of the provinces,\nand which was promulgated apparently to \"regularize\" the family\nirregularities of certain prominent\nRepublicans and Freethinkers. The\nnext action taken is to issue a decree of treason, whereby it becomes\na crime to propagate, politically or\notherwise, any views contrary to\nthose held by the Repub'ic. Then\ncomes the election law, placing in\nthe hands of the Republican \"cen-\ntros\" the power of declaring who\nmay vote and who may not be a candidate.\nNext comes the decree of separation of Church and State, which\nreally amounts to the nnneaxtion of\nall church funds and properties by\nthe state and must lead to the official stamping out of religion. Thus\nwc arrive at the present crisis, and\ncan realize why so many have left\nthe country\u2014why there are such per-\nsltent rumors of unrest and discontent. Nor bus the seir-nppoiiited\ngovernment been satisfied to act so\ninjudiciously in Internal afaflrs;\nwo find the same want of knowledge\nof men nnd ways in its externa]\ndealings. The minister for foreign\naffairs warns foreign powers,\nthrough the press, that flip Portuguese people are being kept au fait\nwith all diplomatic transactions, and\nthat unfavorable action by any government will result In commercial\nloss to that government's trade Interests. The prime minister also\ngoes so far as to Interview a reporter of a Spanish Republican paper\nand assure him that the Portuguese\ngovernment is heart and sole with the\nRepublican movement in Spain.\nBut it is with the elections one is\nnow mostly concerned, which are to\nshow that the country has declared\nin favor of a republic. Let us pause\nand soo liow this result is arrived\nat. The treason law disposes of the\nMonarchist at. elections, so that only\nan independent candidate has an opportunity of standing. His career Is\na short one, for lie- Is promptly arrested as a conspirator\u2014a fa*e which\novertakes the unfortunate cleric who\nprotests against the law of separa-\nBig Corporations Practiced Economy\nand  Thus Were Able to De-\nclare  Dividends\nThe month just ended brought to\nits close a half-year  of uncertainty\nand  dullnes  In  both  financial  and\nbusiness, with many decidedly unfavorable conditions, says a New York\nfinancial review.    The beginning of\nthe year found  the  steel  trade  unsettled,   the   copper   trade   demoralized,   capita)   awaiting  rather   fearfully the supreme court in operation\nof the Sherman anti-trust law, pending   which   many   new   enterprises\nwere held back.    Foreign trade was\nunsatisfactory,  the political outlook\nunsettled, and general business at a\nlow point.    The changes throughout\nthe six months elapsed are of such\na decided character that a marked\nimprovement  is  quite  generally expected  during  the  remained  of the\nyear.    The supreme court's decisions\nin  the  Standard  Oil  and  American\nTobacco Company cases and the interstate commerce  commission's  refusal to permit railroads to inaugurate   a  general   increase  in   freight\nrates  removed   the   hcief   cause   of\nuncertainty.     While   the   commerce\ncompany's decision resulted in a temporary depression of security values,\nconservative opinions  seem  to  have\nadopted   the   belief   that  the   rejection of the railroads'  petitions was\nbeneficial rather than otherwise. By\nenforcing a policy of rigid economy\nmost of the transportation companies\nhave been able to maintain dividends,\nwhile at the same time the tendency\ntoward increasing the cost of living\nwas checked effectively in  one important    direction.      The    supreme\ncourt decisions were immediately interpreted   as   favorable   to   what   is\nknown  as   \"big   business,\"   and   relieved the financial world of many\nforebodings, paving the way for large\nenterprises which had been delayed\nfor many months.    While improvement in general business conditions\nhas been slow, and there are no in\ndications  that  a  speedy  revival  on\na pronounced scale may be expected\nsigns of bettermen are not wanting.\nThe copper trade has recently experienced  an  awakening as a result of\na more vigorous domestic  and foreign demand.    Steel orders ere considerably   larger  than   in   the  early\nyear.   Foreign trade has exceeded all\nprevious     marks,     exports     having\nreached the value of $2,000,000,000\nfor the first time in one year.  Crop\nprospects are on  the whole unfavorable. The financial situation is sound\nwith an abundance of money at abnormally low rates.    Uncertainty as\nto  Hie  extent   to  which   tariff revisions may be carried still constitute\na restraining influence, the effect of\nwhich'is heightened by the govern\nment's  proceedings   against   various\ncorporations and  their  officals  and\nthe investigation of great industries\nby congress.   The course of the stock\nmarket indicates general expectations\nof immediate improvement.   Trading\nhas been narrow and dull during the\ngreater  part  of  the   year,   but   the\ni market   recovered   effectively   from\nihi>   depression   ot    1910.     stocks\nreached their highest prices of the\ntwelve  months  during  May,  and  in\nJune the movement was carried further.    The dulness of the market is\nshown  by the relatively small total\nnumber of stocks dealt in during the\nsix   months,  the  aggregate! having\nbeen   57,070,000,  as  compared   with\n97,989,000 in the first half of 1910.\nThe stock market maintained its dull\nand nil her uncertain tone last week.\nIts hesitation was ascribed, as in\nrecent weeks, to the undermined\ncrop prospects and the chances of\npolitics. The report of the commissioner of corporations on United\nStates Stee' had no adverse effect on\nshares of the various industrial companies.\nA smart commercial traveler, calling upon his best customer, was very\ndisappointed to learn that he had\npurchased all the silk required for\nthe season. At the man's request\na sample was shown him.\n\"Ah!\" he exclaimed. \"You say\nyou bought this at\u2014?\" mentioning a\nprice. \"Why, sir, I cou.d have sold\nyou the same Identical thing, for sixpence a yard cheaper!\"\nThe customer smiled. \"Then send\nme on a credit note for the difference,\" he rejoined. \"It should\namount to about forty pounds. I\nbought the silk from your house last\nweek by letter!\"\n**************************\n* *\ni   War on the Fly   f\nt t\n**************************\n\"Swat that fly,\" says Dr. J. B. Anderson, city health officer of Spokane, who has opened vigorous war\non the insetc. \"It is equal to swatting 200 flies two months later. Get\nhim now while he's still droswy from\nhis winter's nap.\n\"But there's a better way to wage\nwar upon the pestiferous little Insect.\nCut off his food suppy and starve\nhim to death. Box up his breeding\nplaces and put an end to his race.\nThis method has the advantage over\nswatting. It is wholesale slaughter.\"\nThe health officer sounded the\nbugle for the charge on the fly when\nhe condemned several downtown livery stables that faned of proper sanitation. That is just the beginning.\nWant Housewives' Aid\n\"Before we get through,\" said Dr.\nAnderson, \"we are going to have\nevery housewife and half the men\nand children in Spokane enlisted. It\nwill be a war to the finish. I predict there'll not be many flies left\nin Spokane. We can get rid of them,\nnumerous as they are, just as surely\nas the south beat down the mosquito\n\"Scientists who have made a study\nof the little fly have learned that\nall the armies of ancient and midern\ntimes put together had not the de-\nstructiveness of the little fly. Where\nthe sabre thrust of one of Napoleon's\ncharges or the rifle bullet of a sharpshooter in the Civil War let out the\nblood of one person, the fly has\nclaimed 100 lives.\n\"His mode of battle, his ammunition, are those of modern warfare.\nThey are more destructive than lyddite. His arsenal is the garbage pile\nor filth of the vilest kind.\nHis weapons are his little hairy\nfeet. He loads these at the arsenal\nand then flies to the kitchen or the\ndining room and leaves typhoid, consumption, scarlet fever, diptheria,\nsmallpox, cholera infantum, summer\ncomplaint and numerous miscellaneous Infections.\n\"The sae fly that crawls over the\nbutter on your table may have just\ncome from a patient in the last\nstages of consumption or typhtod\nfever.\"\nThe health department has recently issued order that all manure must\nbe kept covered. There must be a\nvent to prevent overheating and over\nthis vent must be a screen. This\norder was a charge upon the fly\narmy.\nManure Pile Breeding Place\nThe manure pile is not the chief\nfeeding ground of the fly. It is not\nthere that he gets the bacteria of the\nworst diseases. But in the hotbed\nof manure the fly lays her eggs by\nthe hundreds. The heat of the manure does the rest and in eight days\na small army conies forth. This is\nthe reserve force of the fly army.\nThe health department orders that\nmanure receptacles be emptied once\na week.\nHaving deprived the fly of his\nbreeding place, the next step Is to\ncut off his food supply. The best\nway to do this is to keep the yards\nand alleys clean. The rules of the\nhealth department provide that all\ngarbage cans must be kept covered\nand emptied regularly. In addition\nto this pour a little kerosense on the\ncan, whether it is full or empty. No\nfly can survive Standard Oil.\nScreen the Homes\nThe homes must be screened. The\nfly will eat any clean food, if he can\nnot find any other kind, and he can\nlive on Hint. But most important,\nllie screens keep out the fly that\nhas persanps found a bed of filth not\nyet located by the health department.\nThere is nothing like a fly to discover these places.\nThe doctor will issue an order that\nall sick rooms must be screened. The\nfly must be kept away from the\npatient suffering with au infectious\nor contagious disease. Unless screens\nare provided an Inspector will be\nput on duty to seg that the doors\nand windows are kept closed.\nThe health department will keep\na close watch on milk. Whenever\na case of diphtheria is reported the\nhealth department asks: \"Who do\nyou buy milk if?\" If Ihe name of\na certain dairy happens to be reported too regularly there is room for\nsuspicion and an Investigation will\nfollow.\n\"There Is no myth about the de\nstructlveuess of the fly,\" continued\nthe doctor. \"The poisonous snake is\nharmless in comparison. The germ\nthat the fly carries is only one twenty-five thousandth of an inch in\ndiameter. He can carry many germs\non one foot and he has a lot of feet.\n\"The common fly Is one of the\nmost violent emetics known. If you\nput a fly in a capsule and give it to\na patient, tplllng him it is quinine,\nho will vomit nine times out of ten.\"\nSubscription\nThe Best\nPublicity j$2.00\nChannel\nYear\nTHE JOURNAL\nIs the best Advertising\nMedium in the City\nof Prince Rupert\nFOLLOW THE TREND OF THE CITY'S\nPROGRESS BY SUBSCRIBING\nFOR THE PAPER\nThe Journal aims at keeping Prince Rupert\nand new B.C. ever before the public eye.

P. Hin-\nton, general passenger agent, and\nH. R. Charlton, general advertising\nagent for the road, are followed. On\na recent trip to the park Mr. Hinton\nand Mr. Charlton selected a hotel\nsite one and a half miles southeast\nof the station at Fiddle Creek.\nThis is one of the most attractive\nspots in the immense mountain reserve. It overlooks Brule's lake and\ntl.e valley of the Athabasui, and the\nmountains which lie beyond, while\nin the vicinity of the hotel the mountains peaks rise to a height of 8,000\nfeet. The new hotel wil! be located\nonly a few miles from the sulphur\nsprings in Jasper Park, which are\nsituated on Sulphur Creek, a tributary of Fiddle Creek. Mountain\nroads will be constructed from the\nhotel to the sulphur springs.\nMr. Hinton, Mr. Charlton and R.\nC. W. Lett spent several days in that\nsection of the park, looking over the\nvarious locations on which it would\nbe possible to erect a hotel. The one\nchosen was considered to have the\nmost charming suroundings of any.\nAlthough plans for the erection of\nthe building are only in their initial\nstages, it is understood that construction work will be commenced next\nyear.\nERIE   MINE   GOOD\nExcellent Ore Is Taken From Prop.\nerty Near Hazelton\u2014Will Pay\nfor Shipping\nSince the first report of the big\nstrike on the Erie mine reached town\nlast week a number or Hazelton men\nhave gone out to see it. They returned with word that the report\nis not only all to the good, but that\nthe seam of high grade ore is widening as depth is obtained, says the\nInland Colonist.\nThe shaft is now down over 3\nfeet, and shows two feet of solid\nsilver-lead ore on the one wall. This\nseam of solid ore has widened from\nIS inches to two feet in less than\nthe last eight feet of sinking. Three\nshifts are now at work sinking, and\nmachinery for operating compressed\nair drills will be brought in shortly.\nMiners who have been working on\nother properties on Four Mile mountain and who have gone over to the\nErie to se the big strike report it a\nwonder. A number of them came\nright into town and purchased Erie\nstock, particularly William Dalton of\nthe Babine Mining Company, whose\nground adjoins the Erie. Dalton\nbought 3,000 shares of Erie stock as\nsoon as he reached town.\nTwo tons of shipping ore is now\nbeing taken out to the foot depth,\nand the company intends commencing ore shipments this fall.
