They have just come\ntrough thz overland route from Edmon-\nbn following the G. T. P. right of way.\nthe trip was a long one but it was made\ngood time and travelling was as\n!omfortable as possible and every day\nroduced something new so that the\narty did not suffer from monotony.\nMr. Stewart made an inspection of\nFoley, Welch & Stewart's contract from\nEdmonton four hundred miles west, and\n(then from Fort George to Prince Rupert.\nThe contracts are both getting along\n(very favorably, but there is a shortage\nof men in every camp. The labor is\nnot in the country and can not be\nprocured. Several thousand more men\nare required and would be paid the\nhighest wages.\nAt Fort George the party were joined\nby Mr. Van Arsdol who accompanied\nthem to town. So far as their trip and\nits object was concerned the party had\nnothing to say. They will await the\narrival of the general manager, C. M.\nHays and party next week.\nThe eastern contract of Foley, Welch\n& Stewart will have reached the summit\nthis fall and the western contract is\ngetting on towards Aldemere. The right\nof way is cleared that far now. There\nare only four hundred miles left between\nthe Edmonton contract and the Prince\nRupert contract and that work will\nbe given out this fall. It is a heavy\nstretch of country, very much like this\nend, although the heaviest work of all\nis the first hundred miles from Prince\nRupert. The supplies for the connecting\nlink will be taken up the Fraser River\nby boat, the same as the supplies are\ntaken up the Skeena, and the contractors\non that line will have to rush the construction of steamers this winter to\nbe ready for the spring work.\nMayor Stork was chairman on this\noccasion and before introducing the\nspeakers he said in part: \"This is indeed a red letter day in the History of\nPrince Rupert. We are honored by the\nvisit of Sir Wilfrid Laurier, Premier of\nthe Dominion, and the party of distinguished statesmen who are with him,\nincluding two cabinet ministers and our\nown member, Hon. Wm. Templeman.\nWe are glad to welcome them in our\nmidst and glad to welcome our Premier\nwhose policy of progress is responsible\nfor Prince Rupert being on the map and\nfor the construction of the G. T. P.\nrailway.\n\"Prince Rupert is a fortunate city as\nshe is enjoying the best of government\nin the Dominion, the Province and in\nthe municipality. We are also fortunate\nin having one of the four known harbors\nof the world into which boats of the\nlargest type can enter and anchor at\nany stage of the tide. In future this\ncity will never ask the government for\nmoney to deepen the harbor. We will\nwant a great deal for buildings and\nimprovements.\n\"We give our guests a right royal\n| welcome and I predict that the first\ntrain over the new railway will take a\ndeputation from Prince Rupert that\nwill take Ottawa by storm.\"\nHon. William Templeman said: I\nam highly gratified to be in Prince\nRupert on the first visit of the Premier\nof Canada to this new western metropolis. I feel honored in being the representative of a constituency which is\nof such a vast extent as Comox-Atlin,\nand I am pleased that the minister of\nrailways, Mr. Macdonald and Mr. Pardee have come to see this northern\ndistrict I have the honor to represent.\nProbably after having returned to the\neast the size, the newness and other\nfeatures of the country will remain in\ntheir memories and they will grasp the\nneed we have for development of better\ntransportation, better postal facilities,\nand other \"betters\" the government\nmay accord to us when thus acquainted\nwith our necessities. I have not the\nslightest doubt they will take a deeper\nand more intelligent interest in our affairs, and help us to get those smail\nthings the people of Prince Rupert ask\nof their representative.\nYou did me the honor of electing me\nby acclamation less than two years ago\nand I have striven to do my best to\nrepresent you in the city of Ottawa.\n(Cheers). At the time of my election\na certain memorandum of requests were\nhanded to me, and 1 thought they were\nof such a nature I could venture to\npromise them all. 1 think all these\nmatters have been completed to your\nsatisfaction or are on the way to completion. I have not had any additional\nrequests presented to me, but should\nthere be any you should not miss this\nopportunity but bring them forward before I leave here this evening.\nYou asked me for a wireless station\nand you have obtained one of the best\nin the country. You asked for a reduction of telegraph rates. I believed\nthis to be a proper thing and I obtained\nit for you.

Leonard and\nReid, real estate brokers and timber\nlimit brokers of Prince Rupert. The\npurchasers are Eastern Canada and\nEnglish cajKtalists headed by Wm-\nGamble, barrister, of Ottawa, Ont. The\nowner was A. F. Sutherland, of Van.\ncouver, a millionaire lumber merchant,\nwho is probably one of the largest\noperators in the Dominion.\nHighest Grade Timber\nThis sale involves ninety-three limits\nwhich are situated on the Naas and\nK.itsumkalum rivers. The property is\ndescribed by the expert cruisers who went\nover it as the finest body of compact\ntimber to be found anywhere in British\nColumbia. The timber consists of red\ncedar, spruce, larch and western pine.\nIt stands well on all the limits. The\npedar, especially, is of the highest grade\non the entire Pacific coast. Most of it\nruns absolutely clear, for 60 feet without\na blemish or a limb and the trees hold\ntheir size from the trunk up. Some trees\nthat have been measured have been\nfound to be 40 feet in circumference at\nthe stump and standing 60 feet without\na limb.\nThe spruce is also very high grade\nand stands well. It is very tall and clear,\nrunning 80 to 100 feet to the first limbs\nand in some cases clearing the remarkable\nheight of 125 feet without a branch or\nblemish. .\nThe larch is a beautiful wood and is\nvery tall and clear, running on an average\nof 100 feet to the first limbs, and averaging about 5,000 feet per tree.\nThe western pine is much the same\nquality and stands well on an average\nof three feet across the stumps and 48\nfeet to the limbs with very little taper.\nCause of the Growth\nThis immense tract of high grade\ntimber is attributed to the fact that the\nvalleys in which it is found have a\nsoutherly and westerly aspect and are\nthoroughly protected from all winds\nand enriched from the deports washed\nSown the sides of the very high mount-\nans, and also to the fact hatches\nbetween the wet and dry belts and has\nthe benefit of both the warm sunshine\n\"Inf total' quantity of first grade\nTWO BILLION\nFEET TIMBER\nPurchased in the Naas and\nKitsumkalum Valley.\nLeonard and Reid Successfully Interest Eastern Canada and English\nCapital.\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDWill Erect $200,000 Lumber Mill in Prince Rupert.\ntimber is placed at 1,584,000,000 feet.\nThere are also 500,000,000; feet of second\nclass timber.\nErect Milling Plant\nThe plans of the new owners of these\n93 timber limits involves the erection\nof a milling plant which will cost $200,-\n000 and will employ at least 200 men\nwith another 100 men in the woods\ntaking out the logs. It will be one of\nPrince Rupert's first and largest industries and will place the G. T. P.\nterminal city in a new light before the\nworld. There is no doubt about the plant\ncoming to Prince Rupert if it is possible\nto raft logs down the Skeena at a reason\nable figure. This problem is being\nlooked into as there are some who say\nthat rafting on the Skeena is not possible while others are just as emphatic\nin stating that the big river is very\nfavorable. If the plant is not built here\nit will be erected at the mouth of the\nKitsumkalum river, and this city will\nget nearly as much benefit.\nThe Market\nThe new lumbering company will\nget their big plant under way as early\nas possible. They will cater to the\ntrade of Prince Rupert and northern\nBritish Columbia first. They will also\ncater to the trade of the Orient and\nAlaska and many big ships will load at\nthe Prince Rupert docks with lumber and\ntimber grown almost within the city's\nlimits.\nConditions Favorable\nThe conditions for logging and carrying\non the lumber business are much more\nfavorable in this northern district than\nin Washington, Oregon or Southern\nBritish Columbia. In the valley of the\nNaas and Kitsumkalum rivers there is\na fall of only 25 inches of rain from\nMarch to December, and only 30 inches\nsnow in January and February, and there\nare some hard frosts during the latter\nmonths which are particularly favorable\nto logging. On the whole, the proposition looks the most promising of any on\nthe coast.\nHow It Was Done\nIt will be interesting to learn how\nMessrs. Leonard and Reid, two young\nmen, were able to get next to such a\nlarge deal and put it through successfully. Last winter when H. M. Leonard\nwas in Ottawa on business he was commissioned by Wm. Gamble, representing\nCanadian and Old Country capital, to\nlook up a large timber property upon his\nreturn to Prince Rupert. Mr. Leonard\ninvestigated several properties on the\nmainland and on Vancouver Island and\nchose these 93 limits on the Naas and\nKitsumkalum rivers as the best thing\nhe had seen for many a long day. Upon\nhis submitting the details of the tract of\nvaluable timber to the prospective\nbuyers they were at once approved and\nan option was taken immediately from\nthe owner, A. F. Sutherland, of Vancouver, and a telegram was received\nyesterday by Mr. Leonard that the\ndeal wi'i completed and the first instalment paid over in cash, representing\nabout 25 per cent, of the purchase price.\nThe purchase price was $490,000.\n-a THE PRINCE RUPERT OPTIMIST\nLINDSAY'S\nCARTAGE and\nSTORAGE\nG.

This evening the party starts on its homeward journey, taking with them\ntheir first impressions of the new west and the new city. While we are all proud of\nour infant city and its phenominal progress we trust that the visitors in comparing\nit with the older western towns and the aged cities of the East will make due allowance for the handicaps under which we labor. It is hard for the Easterer to overcome\nthe custom of daily looking out on paved streets and mammoth buildings, but we\ncan offset that prejudice by the promise that on their next visit we will have better\nstreets than those in the East.\nThe present tour of the Premier is probably the greatest trip ever undertaken\nby a political leader in Canada. He is accompanied by a wisely selected number of\nfriends and colleagues\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDmen who can meet and cope with the many different\nproblems and elements which the party must necessarily contend. The tour has\nbeen a great success politically for the leader of the Liberals. The fact that 18\nnewspaper men accompany the party, representing the leading papers from ocean\nto ocean, is an evidence of the development of country and public interest in the\ntrip.\nPRINCE RUPERT WEATHER\nEvery visitor to Prince Rupert talks weather. They seem disappointed if it\ndoes not rain, and they imagine that the laughing comments of the citizens is the\nspirit of optimism, while as a matter of fact it is simply a pitying contempt of their\nmisunderstanding. While so many visitors seeking for information are in the city\npossibly a few statistics would be acceptable, although local people dislike them.\nIn the month of July we had 16 clear days, 7 days of light showers and 8 days\nrainy weather. The maximum temperature was 81 degrees. The total rain fall was\n4.50 inches. For the first 19 days of August we had 12 clear days, three days of\nshowers and 4 days of rain. The total precipitation was 1.40 inches. At no time does\nthe temperature take the violent jumps it does in the East. The average in about\n60 degrees in the summer. The finest weather comes in the winter when the ther-\nmomeoter averages a few degrees of frost, and never touches zero; the sun shines\nevery day and the whole winter produces only a few inches of snow.\nl^^^%fc\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDiyiVa^a\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDl'\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDi\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDlaaaJ\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDtiaa\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD<'\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDij\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD%\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD%\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDiii% presented to Sir Wilfrid, the\nProud of Prince Rupert\n\"I need not tell you how it was with\nanxiety that I started on this journey,\nthe end of which was Prince Rupert.\n(cheers) It was because I think I can\nclaim that in the building of this city\nthe government of which I am the head\nhas had some considerable share in it.\nIt is the last great work we have undertaken and will possibly be our last\nachievement in the endeavor to rivet\ntogether all our country, from the\nteran'diplomsthwiMacheeiv'word Atlantic t0 the Pacific- and ala\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD the,\ngreat empire of which we are proud of\nbeing a part, (cheers)\n\"I am surprised to see so large a\ngathering here and that you have such\na population already; a population not\nall.

We are going to build\nquarantine station here and my friend\nMr. Fisher, the minister of inland reunite, is to establish a marine station\nhere. He will have an agent here before long.\nYou are being dealt with by the gov-\nnment in the way a young and push-\nling city deserves to be dealt with. The\nbrand Trunk, I believe, has given the\n'government two corners of what is\n[known as railway reserve. One will\ne devoted to post office and custom\nouse and the other is for an armoury.\nrejoice to see that although so young\ncity you already have a militia company, and I commend your patriotism\nfend enterprise.\nThere is a vote of $50,000 been pass-\nid to start the work, and you will have\npublic building adequate to the re-\nuirementa of the city for many years\n;o come. The work on this should be-\nin soon. There is no public necessity\nith which the government has to deal\n,n regard to which your wishes will not\neceive every consideration.\n1 desire to know my people better\nut I am aware that today you are not\nere to listen to your member to but the\nreat leader of the Liberal party, Sir\n(ilfrid Laurier. (cheers).\nSir Wilfrid Laurier was the next\nipeaker and upon rising the premier of\nanada was greeted with loud and\nrolonged cheering. In his opening\nmarks he said:\n\"The mayor of your city has stated\nhat this is a proud day for Prince Rupert\nmt I say that it is a much prouder day\nlor the man now standing before you.\nuring the sixty years of my life I\nave not had a moment when I have\nad more right to feel proud than on\nhis occasion. For here I am today in\nlie city which is the direct result of\nhe policy of which I am the father.tring-\nig applause). \"Five years ago Prince\n.upert was not even a geographical\name. But today it is a young city\nof energy and with the glow of youth\nnd youthful optimism. I pray that\nod may prosper this city; not only\ntor the sake of Prince Rupert alone,\niul [or the good which must naturally\nnsue to the rest of the Dominion.\nhave come here as a pioneer to the\nity in its infancy, but my one hope is\nflat I may be spared for three years j\nnger, for at the end of that period of\n'.ime the railway will have been com-\n)ted from ocean to ocean and then\nBhall with great pleasure again visit\nrince Rupert to view the change which\nhe next couple of years are bound to\nroduce.\n\"You have faith and hope in it, and\nthank you for it. For when this policy\nf i he trancontinental was brought for-1\nard there were many croakers with all\n'iris of proposed reasons why the policy\n'ould not be a success. It has been\nven said by some of the opposition j\nhat the Grand Trunk Pacific would)\nu very expensive proposition,\nha as long as money was not care-\nwly wasted, and the result is for the\npeople and in the best interests of the\nDominion) expense should not be a\nWeans of balking it. The Grand Trunk\nis going to be one of the great enterprises of the 20th century and as such\nIt is my honor to have my name connected\nMh it at its foundation.\n\"One of the chief advantages which\nthe new transcontinental has, is thc\nfact that it has rolled back the map of the\ncountry by at least 1000 miles. Beyond\nthe mountains on the Pacific Coast\nare lands which for agricultural wealth\ncannot be equalled by tho best fields of the\ni\".rlhwest.\n\"Another reason to be proud of the\nI Grand Trunk Pacific is that it is the\nbest line on the continent. Prince\nRupert claims to have one of the best\nharbors in the world. The chairman has\n\"aid that it was one of the four best, but\n1 take exception to this statement,\nfor he did not even mention the harbor\nof Quebec. I think, however, that Prince\nRupert's harbor is the equal of that of;\nthe capital of the French province, and j\nthat it is destined to to be the last of\nthe great harbors of the world.\n\"I have never had any doubt of the '\nfinal outcome of the policy of the government, but I have been anxious to see\nwith my own eyes the work which has\nbeen done. From what I have seen of\nthis city and my tours around it during\nthe last two days, I have now no doubt\nthat Prince Rupert is destined to be\none of the great cities of the continent!\n(applause). Not only from the fact'\nthat here is the terminus of the great\ntranscontinental, but also from the!\ngreat commanding position which nature\nhas given her.\n\"She is the shortest route from Europe\nto the Orient. The trade with the Orient\nis bound to enormously increase during\nthe next few years. The chief reason\nwhich contributes to this is the fact\nthat the population of the Orient, j\nconsisting of untold millions, has been\ndormant, but now the great nations of\nChina and Japan are awakening from\ntheir long sleep of centuries and getting\ninto the western civilization.\"\nSir Wilfrid went on to show what\nmight be our prospects for developing\na trade in articles of our manufacture\nwhich are now unused by the Orientals.\nHe cited the case of tea, which is now\nused on every table from the hut of the\npoor to the palaces of the rich. It was\nfound in all Oriental countries and 200\nyears ago brought to Europe and was\nmade a staple article of that commerce.\nRice was now the staple food of the\nOriental countries but it did not contain\nhalf as much nourishment as does wheat.\nAs was the case with the working up of\nthe tea trade, so might the wheat be\nintroduced into the Orient, and thus a\ngreater commerce than ever would\nspring up from this port. He could\nforsee the day when the export of wheat\nfrom both Vancouver and Prince Rupert\nharbors would necessitate the erection\nof gigantic elevators at both ports, not\nonly for the Oriental trade, but also for\nthe trade with the continent of Europe.\nWith one exception Prince Rupert,\nhe said has been the first city which he\nhad come upon during his present tour,\nwhich has not asked for many appropriations from the Ottawa Government.\nHe had heard it stated, however, that\nthere were fifteen lights needed on the\nroute up from the Island. \"Well,\" said\nSir Wilfrid,\" if the people of Prince\nRupert want those fifteen lights the\ngovernment of Canada is rich enough\nto give them to you.\"\n\"The tour of the Dominion has been\none of the greatest revelations to both\nmyself and my colleagues. We have\nmet men of all nations, and yet have\nfound none dissatisfied with their lot\nin the Dominion. For it is here that all\nmen are brothers. Here it is we find\ninstitutions the superiors of which cannot\nhe found in any other part of thc world.\nWe do not live in a republic, but under\na crowned monorchy, and it is under this\nwe find the truest freedom. I left the\nEast two months ago and now have\nreached the last settlement of the west\nand here, just as much as any of the\nOwing to a break in\nthe machinery of the\nOptimist shop, yesterday's issue had to be\ncancelled. To-day we\nare putting out an extra\nnewsy paper as a recompense for the great\nanxiety the public exhibited yesterday because the Optimist did\nnot appear at the usual\nhour.\nprouder places on my route have I\nfound that energy, activity, enterprise\nand brotherly spirit, which is the only\nmeans of building up this great country,\nin a larger degree than elsewhere.\n\"The east is not jealous of the west.\nYour success is our success, your prosperity is our prosperity. I was proud\nwhen 1 left the east, but now I am\nprouder than ever. I was an optimist\nwhen I left Ottawa, but now I am an\nenthusiast.\"\nE. M. MacDonald, M. P. for Pictou,\nspoke generally of the transcontinental\nrailway and the obstacles that were\nplaced in the way of the government\ntaking up the project by members of the\nopposition. Members of the Conservative\nparty had opposed it as a wild dream,\nbut men of that stamp, he was pleased\nto say, did not dominate the Conservative\nparty. But the Liberal leader had the\nkeen vision to see all that this great\nrailway meant in the development of\nCanada as a nation, and the nation\nwould applaud him when the people\nshook hands in congratulation from the\nAtlantic to the Pacific over what would\nbe the shortest line from sea to sea across\nthis continent.\nThen, when the great leader proposed\nlast year that Canada should have a\nnavy, what did we hear from the gentlemen on the other side. They absolutely\nwent back on everything they had said\nthe year before, and there was not a man\nin Canada today who could tell where\nthe conservative party stood on the\nquestion of a Canadian navy or upon\nany other national question.\nIn a brilliant elogium of the premier\nhe sketched the rise of Great Britain as\na nation, formed by conflicting and alien\nelements, and said it had been the mission\nof the premier in taking this tour to\npreach the doctrine of a greater Canada\nand to bring all elements into accord\nupon their allegiance to the British crown.\nIt was to inculcate these grand ideas\nthat the leader had gone all over Canada\nand one result would be that his belief\nin Canada, his trust in her glorious I\ndestiny, and his high aims for her future\nwould bring in sympathetic touch the |\nmen of every section and unite them all\nin his pur|>oses from sea to sea.\nHon. George P. Graham, minister of\nrailways, had a good deal to say regarding the women and children. 'I am\ngreatly enamoured of the crop you raise\nin the West\" were his first words, \"I\nsee they are waving the British flag.\nSo long as they remain under the flag\nwe can hope to become the greatest\nnation of the world. They start in right\nin waving the British flag.\"\nHe next facetiously remarked upon\nthe scarcity of women, saying there\ndid not seem to be enough to go round.\nAs they sat before him it reminded him\nof the darky sermon on the day of\njudgment, when sheep should be segregated on the right hand and the goats\non the left. He congratulated the men\nsitting on his right and commisserated\nwith the men on his left(laughter) He\nnoticed that the ladies wore in Prince\nRupert the same sized hats as in other\ncities they had visited. Therefore he\npitied the men on his right and extended\nhis congratulations to the men on his\nleft.\nBut he must say that the woman who\nleft her comparatively palatial home to\naccompany a man to a new country\nand put up with the many inconveniences\nfor a time, was a queen in her own realm,\nand the country owed her much for its\nconsequent development, (cheers).\nMr. Graham then gave a description\nof the great railway, technically touching\nupon the masterly engineering that had\nreduced the grade so that one locomotive\nupon it was able to haul double what it\ncould on any other railway, and sketching the country between here and\nMoncton, N. B. It was a mistake, he\nsaid, to say so much of this railway to de-\nvelope the West only; it would develope\nthe two provinces of New Brunswick\nand Quebec, and the product of those\ntwo old provinces, after the completion of\nrailway, would astonish the world.\nThe completion of the road would\nmean a reduction of freight rates because\nmore could be hauled cheaper on this\nroad than any other and because it was\nthe shortest route from sea to sea.\nBut it was not the railway alone that\nhad led to this trip. They desired to\nfind out the needs of the people of the\nwest, so that they would better be able\nto legislate wisely for them. They were\nworking out on this northern half of\nthe continent the destinies of a great\nnation. \"We are a young nation, and if\nour young men of the west will do their\nduty and stand shoulder to shoulder\nthe west will not only be the pride of\nCanada but the envy of the world.\"\nThe school children then sang the\nnational anthem and cheers were given\nfor the king and for Sir Wilfrid. The\npremier and his party were then escorted\nto the Prince George, where they held\ninformal receptions until the steamer\npulled out shortly after eight o'clock,\namid rousing cheers. Owing to the early\nhour of leaving the smoker to be given\nby the Liberal party in the Empress\ntheatre had to be abandoned.\nSPIRIT OF THE WEST\nExtracts From the Speech of the\nPremier Saturday Evening\nEntertained by Wanderers\nThe Hon. Geo. P. Graham, Hon. Wm.\nTempleman, Senator Bostock, Senator\nGibson, Senator Roy, Mr. Pardee and\nseveral other members of the Premier's\nparty, were entertained at the Wanderers' Club informally on Sunday evening and on Monday afternoon. The\nguests intimated that Prince Rupert's\nsocial attractions had progressed about\nas rapidly as its more practical development.\nIt would be a very sorry fellow who\nwould not be jolly with such before me.\nI have no reason to find fault with life.\nI have good' health and better spirits.\nI have been accused of being an\noptimist and I have never denied the\nimpeachment, I will be a greater optimist when I get home.\nThe air of the west is infectious,\nand I have caught some of the atmosphere.\nI believe in the country more than I\ndid five weeks ago.

They lie along the G.T.P.\nrailway on both sides of the Skeena\nriver and are just 80 miles east of\nPrince Rupert. The valleys are about\n20 miles wide and 40 miles long and\nevery acre could be put under cultivation and fruit and vegetables grown\nwith great success.\nA very valuable feature of those\nlands are that the strawberry season\ncomes on after all the berries in other\nparts of Canada and the United States\nare gone and the demand for them will\nalways be greater than the supply and\nnecessarily the price will be the highest.\nThe quality of the fruit grown thus far\nis much superior to the southern berries\nand they are firmer and will keep\nlonger.\nIn order to assist the new settlers,\nthe provincial government is establishing experimental farms ih the district\nand these will be of great assistance and\nwill be watched with interest. The\nland in those valleys can be had today\nat from $10 per acre up and in five years\nit is safe to say, the same land will\nsell at considerably over $100 per acre.\nThis is the time to get in and purchase\nland and plant the vines which will\nreturn a profit next summer.\nYours truly,\nOLD TIMER.\nWILL BE HERE TOMORROW\nSpeed the Parting, Welcome the\nComing Guests to Our City\nFIRE AND MARINE INSURANCE\nMcCAFFERY & GIBBONS.
