C, April 2.âDetails of the worst disaster that has overtaken the Japanese fishing fleet since the great tidal waves of many years ago were brought here by the steamer Tamba Maru, which reached port yesterday from Yokohama. It is estimated that the death roll will reach 1500 men. There was a severe storm on March 13, and particularly ferocious off the village of Chiba. The official report said that 83 ships and 1100 men were lost, but it is estimated that the figures will be higher. The wrecks of 34 fishing vessels from Chiba and Cheshi are reported. Other vessels took out 600 men. Similar news of disaster was brought from Mito where vessels containing 400 men were missing and the majority are "nmvn to have been ur_-<_i-Uod When the hurricane commenced 120 fishing vessels tried to make their way into Choshi harbor for refuge, but nearly all were capsized off the harbor entrance. sheriff of Nanaimo county the office being rendered vacant by the superannuation of Samuel Drake who occupied it for thirty years.

The old agreement exp;red yesterday and the men are now demanding an increase in wages. % News-Advertiser Sold. Victoria, April 2. âIt has been an- ced here that J. S. H.

Mr. Matson, it is said, will personally direct the business and editorial policies of both papers. Edwards In Trouble. Winnipeg-. March 30.-Rnb->rt C. Edwards, editor of the Eye Opener, appeared in police court this morning on the charge of publishing and selling a newspaper containing obscene matter. At the conclusion of the examination of witnesses the accused was committed for trial. The Alberni Amateur Dramatic association made a hit last night with an j audience that was large enough to cause pressure of space in Brand's hall. The play produced was entitled "The New Tutor," which has been favorably known in the theatrical world for some years past as "The Private Secretary." The feature of the production was the excellent acting of Leslie A. Withers who assumed the title role. He was ably supported, in comedy work, by Percy Bayne. A pleasing presentation of girlish character was given by Mrs. Prescott who carried her part above the amateur standard and gave the audience no anxiety as to the necessity of a prompter's assistance. Sh.! was attractive in appearance, manner and voice, ancl gave intelligent expression and meaning to everything she did. Mr. Stephens, in an isolated part, sustained his claim to the title of local comedian, and proved popular with the audience. The rest of the company seemed to have been miscast and, in some cases, insufficiently rehearsed. When it is remembered, however, that they are only amateurs it should be said that they acquitted themselves creditably. Agents of Mackenzie & Mann Are Busy Examining Into the Details of the Dunsmuir Collieries and Coal Lands. Trawford Is Sheriff Nanaimo, B. C, April 2. â Charles Trawford, provincial constable of this city, has received the appointment of Dry at Niagara. Niagara Falls, Mar. 30. âA strong south wind has caused the ioe coming down the Niagara river to jam, with the result that the crest of Niagara Falls is bare north from Luna Island, almost to the middle of the cataract. Should the jam continue there will be a repitition of the condition prevailing in February of last year, when the American Falls were so dry that many Smoker Fails to Draw. The smoking concert which was advertised for last Wednesday night did not materialize. About twenty young men turned up at Brand's hall which was brilliantly lighted, comfortably j heated and furnished with a piano for I the occasion, but among them there i was a scarcity of musical talent. They waited till nearly 9 o'clock in the hope of a few willing entertainers putting in an appearance, but they were slow to come. The committee then decided to postpone the concert to a date to be announced later. Expert engineers are now at Nanaimo making an examination of the Wellington collieriesâthe Dunsmuir mines -on behalf of Messrs. Mackenzie & Mann of the Canadian Northern railway, holders of the option of purchase of the various properties for $11,000,- 000. For some weeks accountants have been poring over the detail of office statements bearing on the Dunsmnir coal lands holdings and the business transacted by the colliery company. At the same time legal talent has been hard at work examining titles and preparing reports. It is stated that agents of Messrs Mackenzie & Mann have also looked over the holdings of the company in San Francisco. This thorough investigation of the immense Dunsmuir property is being directed by A. D. MacRae, land commissioner of the Canadian northern railway. For over a month Mr. MacRae has spent practically all of his time on Vancouver Island, mostly in Victoria. The holders of the option, for which the sum of $100,000 was paid, have still some time at their disposal before the next payment of $250,000 falls due. On the reports of engineers, accountants and other agents, now in on the first, depends the next payment and determination to carry the deal to completion. These reports are expected to be finally rendered at an early date. Crime In Wide-Open Town. Seattle, March 30.âA woman murdered last m'ght in the newly-established "white slave" district was identified today as Nora Gauthier. aged 25, who came here with a swarm of women brought to inhabit the new district. The identification was made by James H. Claxton, who had been living with the Gauthier woman for a year and a half, and who gave himself up to the police. Claxton said he suspected that the murder was committed by a Chinaman with whom the woman had an appointment. The police are still examining Claxton. License Is Granted Rev. T. S.

The facts and arguments in support of, and against, the protest registered by the Port Alberni football team were heard at a meeting of the executive of the West Coast league held in Alberni last Saturday night. The case was then passed on to the Vancouver Island league for a decision. Repudiates Contract. Calgary, Alta., March 31.-The City Council has openly repudiated a contract made by the Council of 1903 with the Great West Saddlery company whereby the latter, in return for establishing works here, was to be exempted from payment of taxes. The present Council contends that no previous council had the authority to make such a condition for the future with any company. Arranging Conferences.

Fielding, Minister of Finance for Canada, and the United States secretary of State Knox, which was today given out with the statement of the agreement, the Canadian letters indicate a firm stand for the contentions first made in the negotiations by Canada. "While unable to waive any of the contentions which Canada has held throughout our discussion on the subject," wrote Minister Fielding, "I appreciate the exceptional reasons and circumstances advanced bv the Presi dent for his request. I have oBserved with satisfaction that your government is not disposed to press some of the earlier contentions respecting our commercial treaties which fl-om our point of view we could not admit. "On behalf of the Canadian government I agree that we shall recommend to the Parliament of Canada such amendments to the tariff as will reduce the duties on the list of articles as agreed upon between us." Then follows the list of articles and the reductions in detail. SATURDAY. APRIL 2. 1910 ALBERNI PIONEER NEWS PAGE 2 PIONEER NEWS. Published at Alberni, B. C, and issued every Saturday. R. J. Burde. Subscription Rate, Editor. $2.00 per year Alberni, B. C, April 2, 1910 Pig Pen Politics. A disguised person, proclaiming to be a friend and admirer of H. C. Brewster, M. P. P., has backed up into a pig pen, and has challenged the editor of the Pioneer News to follow him and engage in the game of throwing slime at private character. All that is publicly known of the challenger is thai he anonymously signed his cowardly self "Ed. Rub." gave the indifinite address of Comox-Atlin, and was permitted the use of space in the Victoria Times to issue his defy. The standard rules of public combat in the political arena have a limit that is quite large enough for the taste of the editor of this paper, and he must refuse to go beyond them. If "Ed. Rub" will remove his mask and come out into freer air he may look for an interesting reception. The Pioneer News will have a spray pump ready to operate on him. The liquid will be hot enough to smart, and the subject of the operation will be given an opportunity to show to what extent he learned to imitate the squeal of a p;g while he held down the company of the swine. Lowry's Tribute To John Houston Innocence Learns. In relinquishing control of the Cowichan Leader, published at Duncans, Ormonde T. Smithe who guided its destinies for over two years unloaded his mind in the following valedictory: "After having weilded our editorial 1 en in these diggings for over two years we are about to vacate our editorial chair. Before another issue the plant and good will of the Cowichan Leader will be transferred to a synd'cate of local gentlemen under whose management the paper will, in future, be conducted. During our career as editor in Duncans we have learned many things chief amongst which is the fact that the life of an editor is not all 'beer and skittles.' We shall never regret, however, time spent in newspaper life in th:s district for, although we have not reached a degree of affluence, we have acquired a store of experience and a knowledge of human nature that will, doubtless, prove invaluable in after life. We have learned that the man who prints the truth as he sees it and who refuses to be dictated to in respect to the matter that finds its way into his editorial columns will not long be lacking in enemies who are looking for a chance to knife him. We have learned that the man you trust and look upon as a friend, is often your deadliest enemy; and the man you regard as an enemy oftimes turns out to be your best friend. We have learned that to avoid unkind criticism a man must say nothing, do nothing and be nothing. We have learned many things that space forbids us to enumerate. For the most part, however, we have received the fairest kind of treatment from the business men of the town and the residents of the district generally." Among applicants for service as a general housemaid in a Pittsburg family was a raw-boned Irish girl of rather forbidding aspect. "Do you love children?" asked the mistress of the house, when satisfied that the girl would suit with respect to most requirements. "Well, mum," responded the Celt, with a grim smile, "that all depends on the wages." (From the Greenwood Ledge.) When John Houston died in Quesnel the other day the West lost one of its most fearless, industrious and picturesque journalists. Since the days of '71 in Virginia City John had been identified with the fourth estate in all the states between Alaska and Mexico. A little over twenty years ago he came into B. C. and since then his name has become almost a household word in this province. He published papers at Donald, New Westminster, Nelson, Ainsworth, Kaslo, New Denver, Ross- land, Prince Rupert and Fort George. With the exception of three, they were all pioneer papersâthe first in camp. Houston was fearless and used his papers as a rule to further his political aims and ideals. He was egotistical and could not brook opposition. If he could not rule an individual or a party he would fight them to a red finale. He was troubled with a weak digestion and a cranky liver, and those two demons often caused him to abuse his friends and act in a manner that lead the thoughtful to exclaim that the wall is only a knifeblade seam between genius and insanity. His heart was as big as an ox when you found the key to it, but his hatred was intense if you threw mud at his ideals, theories or plans. He was a fighter, mentally and physically, and this quality made him a hero in the eyes of the men who blazed the trails in the wild, rich and beautiful West. John did not love the tender- feet or the "Johncomelatelies," as he was wont to call them. He was a natural pioneer, and the fresh, rough life of a new camp appealed more to him than the white shirts of an effete, even if perfumed civilization. He was blunt in his manner, but those who knew him best could ever see the broad vein of gold that ran through his formation. Death pays many a debt and makes our enemies throw bouquets where once they heaved rocks, so since John climbed the golden stairs to push clouds with the angels, all, both friend and foe, are eager to decorate his bier with flowers of love, and regret that nature in its ruthless march had caused him to drop his able pen and cross the divide into that mysterious territory that lies beyond the grave from which no prospector has ever returned. A small boy in Yonkers recently became the proud possessor of a donkey ânot so handsome or so young as it might have been. However, it answered the purpose of its acquisition, which was to afford back rides. One day the urchin was enjoying a ride when the mim'ster of the parish met him. "Hullo, sonny!" greeted the minister. "Quite a rare beast you have there." "Yes," replied the boy; "but I suppose there are a great many of 'em in the theological gardens." A Boston physician tells a story of a man who moved into a dilapidated old cottage, and was found by the doctor busily whitewashing it inside and out. "I'm glad to see you making this old place so nice and neat," said the physician, "it's been an eyesore in the neighborhood for years." " 'Taint nothing to me about eyesores," was the reply. "The last conple that lived here had twins three times, and I hear whitewash is a good disinfectant. Ye see, we've got ten children already." NOTICE.

Herbert Carmichael Explains Position Victoria, B. C, March 26, 1910. Editor Alberni Pioneer News: Sir,â I cannot let your report of a Citizens' Committee meeting pass without a word of comment. During my recent visit to Alberni I was invited to meet the Alberni Board of Trade and was under the impression that the Citizens' Committee was a sub-committee of that organ'zation and that the Board of Trade represented the people of Alberni. I was never asked to have anything to do with the Citizens' Committee and it is refreshing to have the secretary of the committee, Mr. Thomson, complain of being ignored when the committee studiously ignored the local agents of the Land Company. Yours Truly, Herbert Carmichael. Blue Funnel The SCOTCH WHISKY that is making a record. "PENSIONER" GIN Comes Next. Otter Chartered. The steamer Otter of the C. P.

JOHN JARDINE, M. P. P., SEES PROGRESS AND CREDITS THE PREMIER Liberal-Socialist Member For Esquimalt Loudly Sounds Praises of the McBride Railway PolicyâEnglish Bluff No Longer a "Bluff." That British Columbia is upon the eve of a period of unexampled development and most substantial prosperity, chiefly consequent upon the inauguration of the statesmanlike railway policy enunciated and carried through by Premier McBride is the conclusion borne home to Mr. John Jardine, M. P. P. for Esquimalt, by a tour of the Fraser river country from which he has just returnedâpossibly more enthusiastic than he has ever before been, unemotional Scot that he is, as to the magnificent destinies of British Columbia, says the Victoria Colonist of Wednesday. »Nooi Wc.i-iiilus-er is a new city," he says. "One fails to recognize in the busy, all-alive city of today the somewhat sleepy town of other years. Business of every kind is booming and manufacturers are every day acquiring sites for new enterprises which guarantee a great future for the Royal City as a center of industrial enterprise. As tcr^roperty values they have multiplied with a rapidity and in a ratio almost beyond belief, and this applies not only to the city but to all the Fraser river country. "On the south side of the Fraser, I am informed on reliable authority, the Canadian Northern has secured no less than two thousand acres, the Great Northern three hundred and fifty acres and the B. C. Electric Railway company forty acresâeach for its freight yards, round houses, car shops and terminals generally. Subsequently each will have its immense elevators to handle the export wheat seeking its market via the Pacificâthat is each of the great railway companies. In consequence of the movement of the railways, and in consequence of the gov- News From Near and Far ernment's course in railway matters, land along the south side of the Fraser that was worth less than $150 an acre a year or so ago is worth from $1000 to $1200 an acre today. And this condition prevails not only close to New Westminster but right to Port Kells, six miles away. "From New Westminster I went up the river through the country once dominated by the Hudson's Bay company to Fort Langley, the old capital. It would be impossible to exaggerate the indications of prosperity and satisfactory progress for which the suburban and rural extension policy of the B. O. Eloot.ii. company Is largely to be thanked. I went over about six miles of the ' new track to Cloverdale and found the roadbed exceptionally good for any new line, electric or general. "At the mouth of the river the Dominion government dredge is doing excellent work, and at English Bluff there is every indication of a large and prosperous city being born. Indepd I do not think there is any longer, much room for doubt that the near future will see as large and prosperous south side of the Fraser as there is on the north, or even on Burrard Inlet. And the chief reason for these changed condition* and marvellously rapid provincial growth, it must be frankly admitted, is the railway policy of Premier McBride. "English Bluff is no longer a 'bluff.' It will be but a short time till there will be a busy city there. And then with the fast ferry connecting us with another great transcontinental railway system at this point Vancouver Island will come into its own. "And Esquimalt will not be, by any means, the least important sharer in the good times coming." Old Man Rounds Up Five Thieves Armed with nothing but a club, and accompanied only by a small boy, Special Constable Kellett, an elderly man, of Nanoose Bay, descended on a party of five thieves on Sunday last, rounded them up, and marched them in front of him, a distance of four miles, to a jail. Constable Kellett had received complaints that goods were being stolen from the wharf, and when it was reported that a gang of men who had been working on the railway were enjoying a spree at a point down the road the special officer made a surprise visit and found the picnicers with missing goods in their possession. When ordered to line up and march the theives objected and one became troublesome whereupon Mr. Kellett waded in with his club and knocked him down. This action had a persuasive effect on the party who subjected themselves to being hand-cuffed. The prisoners gave their names as Joseph Hyland, John Wylie, William Alexander, W. Bostock and Edwin Palmer. They were each sentenced to one month in jail at hard labor and were taken to Victoria by Constables Kellett and Trawford on Tuesday. Mormons are said to be making a large number of converts in Vancouver. Many Kootenay ranchers are going in for milch goats as well as Angoras. Colin George, member of the Alberta legislature for Macleod, died on Friday of last week. Large deposits of iron are to be developed in the Campbell River country this coming Summer. George Lindsay, a pioneer of Vancouver Island, died in Victoria on Friday of last week, aged 70. Spring salmon are said to be very scarce on the West Coast this year. Large herds of sea lions are the cause. The directors of the Selkirk Centennial exposition to be held in Winnipeg have decided to hold the big show in the Summer of 1914. Ormonde T. Smythe has relinquished control of the Cowichan Leader, published at Duncans. The paper is to be run by a local syndicate. Another attempt is to be made, with more modern machinery, to save the flour gold which exists in quantity in the magnetic iron sands of Wreck Bay on the West Coast. Duncan is to have a Summer show of the Cowichan Agricultural society on June 17 and 18. A chopping contest for a $150 prize cup will be a feature of the show programme. F. P. Vaughan, of the engineering department of the B C. Electric Railway company, Vancouver, committed suicide by shooting himself through the head on Sunday afternoon last. He had been in bad health for several weeks. An amalgamated board of trade for Southeast Kootenay has been formed with the following provisional officers: President, M. A. Macdonald, Cran- brook; vice-president, J. R. Pollock, Fernie; secretary-treasurer, R. T. Bremmer, Oranbiuuk. Nearly all the lumber mills in the Crows's Nest Pass district are now in operation. There is stated to be a very encouraging outlook for the lumber industry this year when a brisk demand from the prairies and the railway companies will have to be met. The Fraser River Lumber company will shortly begin erecting a combined plant just east of its big sawmill near New Westminster at a cost of $250,000. The proposed mill will have a daily sawing capacity of 75,000 feet of lumber, as well as 1000 doors, 2000 sashes, and 500,000 shingles. A boy, two and a half years of age, son of Mrs. Hazett, 637 Fourteenth a ve., Vancouver, met death in a peculiar manner last Sunday afternoon. He fell asleep while sitting on a swing in the garden and his neck dropped on one of the ropes without awakening him. Pressure on the wind pipe caused strangulation. Two auto-stages to carry twenty passengers each and make fifteen miles an hour will be placed in service on the Cariboo road between April 15th and May 1stâwith a third to follow on the run as soon as it can be completed by the factory. These auto-stages will make the journey from Soda Creek to Ashcroft (which now demands two days) in less than ten hours. Estelle E. Gibbs, a negress, fourteen years old, recently received the first prize, a gold medal, at the graduating exercises of the Hoboken, New Jersey, public school pupils. She had the highest average of any public school pupil in the cityâ99J per cent, in six subjects. The medal was presented by Mayor Gonzales. There are 10,000 white pupils in the schools and only fifteen blacks. Only seven negro families live in Hoboken. Estelle is the â daughter of a Pullman car porter. One of the biggest undertakings in Western Canada in freighting by horses was successfully accomplished a short time ago west of Wolf Creek. It was the moving of a seventy ton steam shovel and two forty-ton locomotives, 11Jgether with dump cars, a distance of Thirty-six miles. This work was done by Foley, Welch & Stewart, who built YOU ARE TIRED of Old-Fashioned Goods and High Prices. So are we. That's why we are now in business with a splendid showing of the latest in Hats, Caps and Ties, Boots, and a complete line of Gent's Furnishings at Lowest City Prices. Campbell & Macfie, Alberni TAILORS AND GENT'S FURNISHERS. special sleighs on the ground for the hauling. These were seven feet wide and built as strong as it was possible to build sleighs. The shovel and locomotives were dismantled and as] many as 25 fine draft horses driven by a single driver were attached to these sleighs. Wherever a down grade was reached hay was spread on the trail to impede the progress of the sleighs; a block and tackle was also used on the steeper descents. Emigration Boom In Old Country Nearly 18,000 immigrants sailed from the Old Country for Canada during the month of March. 1910, and this month the number is expected to be larger. The rush is so great that extra ships have been required. A much better class of people are coming out a large per centage being farmers and agricultural laborers. The C.P.R. is inaugurating a scheme of ready-made poultry farms for women some of which will be established on Vancouver Island. The pioneer party of 19 families for the Canadian Pacific Railway company's ready-made farms on Vancouver Island, sa'led on the Empress of Britain on Friday of last week. The capital possessed by the head of each family ranges from $2500 to $5000. Canneries Destroyed By Fire at Nanaimo Two canneries, owned by the Japanese firm of Mokina & Yamosheta at Nanaimo, were destroyed by fire early last Sunday morning. A dozen small frame buildings and two launches were also burned, the total loss being $15.- 000. Mrs. Makino had a narrow escape with her life and had to leave all her personal effects behind her. There was $300 in bank bills in her room which she was unable to save. There was little or no insurance on the property and the fire is thought to have been of incendiary origin. J. E.

WESTERN CANADA INVESTMENT COMPANY Suite 45, Flack Block, Vancouver, B. C." League Convention Will Be Held In Month of July. Popular opinion favors the first week in July fcr the annual meeting of the Vancouver Island Development league which is to be held this year in the two Albernis. It is likely that Wednesday, July 2, will be chosen as the day. The plan suggested by the joint committee is that the delegates from points on the East coast make the trip in by overland, arriving here on Tuesday afternoon or evening. All day Wednesday will be occupied with the meeting and sight-seeing in the valley. The steamer Tees will arrive Wednesday night and effort will be made to have it held in port till early Thursday morning when the delegates may leave on a trip down the canal and through Barclay Sound to Ucluelet and Clayoquot, returning the next day.
