This\nwas decided upon at a meeting of the\nexecutive committee of the club last\nnight, W. W. Clarke presiding. The\ndelegation to be sent from here is upon\nan invitation extended to the club by\nMr. Hinton, general agent of the company at Winnipeg, and today two of\nPrince Rupert's representatives business\nmen will be selected for the honor,\nThe officers of the new vessel are to\nhold an invitation reception on board\nthe new vessel at Vancouver on June 9th\nand the next day she will go into commission and sail for Seattle. There will be\nanother grand reception there when\nthe new vessel Prince Rupert will start\non her first voyage north on June 12th,\nwith many notable officials of the com-\npeny and distinguished guests among her\npassengers. She will leave Vancouver on\nthe following day and after a stay at\nthis port will go on to Stewart.\nThe club are arranging an informal\ndance for the invited passengers on the\nevening of her arrival here, invitations\nto which will be carried south by the\nPrince Rupert delegation, in shape of\npretty cards which will be placed on the\nplates of the invited directly after the\nsteamer leaves Seattle.

The Streets Committee will\nalso report on the advisability of securing\na third engineer to look after the water\nend.\nAll the Aldermen were present with\nMayor Stork in the chair. The minutes\nof the last regular meeting were read\nand adopted.\nThere were no reports from co m\nmittees, no petitions and no communic a\ntions.\nAlderman Pattullo introduced By-law\nNo. 5, being a by-law dealing with the\nregulation of the retail liquor licenses.\nHe then moved that it be given its first\nreading. This was carried and the by-law\nwas read.\nAid. Pattullo made inquiry as to the\nduties of assessors. He asked if that\nofficial would have such duties assigned\nto him as collector of electric lights,\nwater and telephone fees. He also asked\nwhat the salary would be.\nAid. Mobly thought the assessor\nshould be engaged on the understanding\nthat he perform any duties the council\nsaw fit to assign to him.\nAid. Hilditch moved that the mayor\ninsert an advertisment in the papers for\nthree days, calling for applications for\nassessor to be closed in three days.\nAn advertisment has already been inserted setting date on June 7th, so the\nmatter was dropped. It is distinctly\nunderstood that all officials appointed\nby the council will perform any and all\nduties apsigned to them by the\ncouncil.\nUnder the head of new business Aid.\nLynch said the engineer would have to\nhave some assistance if it was desired to\nget any business started this year. The\ncity engineer has been loaded up with\nelectric, telephone and so many other\nthings that it is impossible for him\nprogress. He said the council might\njust as well face the matter now. Mr.\nClements can find lots of work for another\nengineer.\nAid. Barrow said the first thing an\nengineer should do was to prepare a plan\nshowing what the city has got. He\nthought the mayor should authorize\nMr. Clements to get what assistance\nhe required.\nAid. Hilditch admitted that the engineer was tied up but where will the assistants be coming from. The engineers\ncannot get assistance for themselves to\nsay nothing of getting any for the city.\nMr. Clements said that he thought\nthe city could secure two assistants from\nthe G. T. P. men who are among the\nbest, and he understood they would help\nat a reasonable figure. He then outlined\nsome of the things which the engineer\nhas to do at once' with a typographical\nmap of Woodworth lake and also maps\nof the townsite. If these were not secured\nit would lose many thousands of dollars\nlater on. All the information in the city\nis now in the city and the council can have\naccess to them if they go at it right. He\nread a list of the maps that are now in the\ncity. The Government and Grand Trunk\nhave expended a quarter of a million\nof dollars now for those plans.\nOn motion of Aid. Pattullo and Aid.\nLynch, that Mr. Clements be authorized\nto engage Mr. Lucas as engineer and two\ndraftsmen to assist him at $150 per\nmonth.\nAid. Barrow spoke in favor of the\nmotion and he suggested that the mayor\nendeavor to secure authority to have\naccess to the plans of the G.T.P.\nThe motion was put and it carried.\nDUMA MADE A FARCE.\nFinland Bill to be Passed by Special\nOrder.\n(Special to the Optimist).\nSt. Petersburg, June 4.\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDThe debate\non the Russo-Finnish bill has begun\nin the Duma and will in all probability\nbe passed.

A. Calkins as acting Chief of Police meets with a\nmeasure of approval.. Mr. Calkins' ability and strength as a police officer in this\ncity has never had a fair test, but today as acting chief of the police force of the city\nhe has the opportunity of demonstrating to the council and the citizens that it is no',\nnecessary for them to import something from the \"cent belt\". Mayor Stork, before\nhis election, on the public platform, made the statement that he would, if elected\nmayor, close up the blind pigs in 24 hours. He has stood by his statement by giving\nthese institutions 24 hours to quit, and it is up to him to see that recent appointments\nto the police force carry out his instructions in this respect to the letter. Mr. Calkins\nhas the opportunity of proving to the citizens of Prince Rupert that the confidence\nand trust placed in him has been handed to the right man. Blind pigs are in the opinion of the Optimist, not only places where liquor is sold in the business sections of the\ncity illegally, but in houses of prostitution as well. Why stop the illegal sale of liquor\non Sixth street, First, Second or Third avenues, and have it sold in the houses on\nComox avenue, at twice the price? Mayor Stork and the police commissioners are\nentitled to all the praise and the support of the citizens if they carry into effect the\nedict they have issued, and Mr. Calkins has the opportunity of his life in showing\nif he is a strong man or a weakling, and the citizens will judge quickly and firmly.\nRUPERT INVESTORS.\nLocal People Got a Number of Lots\nat the Stewart Sale.\nAmong the Prince Rupert people who\npurchased lots in Stewart at the sale\nin Victoria, the following are picked from\na partial list:\nBullock Webster $900\nGibbons 900\nWilliam Ward 900\nH.

Most of the local people who\n; attended the sale will arrive home this\n1 evening on the Beatrice.\n! m\n2Q% Discount\nUPRIGHT OR OUT OF JOINT.\nWhat is the matter with Old Father Time? Shakespeare's Hamlet declared that\n\"Time is out of joint.\" Shakespeare's Prospero, on the contrary, asserted that\n\"Time goes upright with his carriage.\" It is the former who is approvingly quoted\nby the Moderator of the Presbyterian Assembly, which has been meeting at Detroit. He has been telling his brother ministers that grafting, and the traffic in white\nslaves, \"twin vampires of civilization,\" have visited the whole world.\nEach age, undoubtedly, has its own besetting sin, but only a pessimist will disregard the testimony of the centuries as to the age-old character of the vampire evils\nwith which the clergyman in question deals. The grafter and the slaver were as much\nin evidence in Old Testament days as they are now. As compared with the cunning\ndishonesty of the East, the grafting of the Occident is of childlike simplicity. White\nslavery has always been identified with the growth of great centers of population.\nThe real difference between the \"then and now\" lies in the attitude of public\nopinion. The twin vampires are the disgrace of this generation as they have been\nof generations long since past, but to-day the public conscience is awakened and a\ncampaign of reformation inaugurated.\nWe rather admire the attitude which is taken by the Walkerton Telescope, which\ninsists upon seeing the good, as well as the bad, in its fellow beings. Commenting\nupon reports of two murder trials, a murder, a suicide, and the announcement of a\nhanging, all in Ontario, and appearing in the papers of a single days, it says:\nThe fellow with the natural grouch would say that the country is going to the\ndogs. And yet, on the other hand we hear of three quarters of a million being subscribed in a couple of weeks for the protection of the young men in a single city,\nthe efforts being put forth for the suppression of vice, the international conferences\nfor the world's peace. At no time in the world's history have such missionary efforts\nbeen put forth. Everything considered, the world's tendency is upward rather than\ndownward.\nIt is a hopeless philosophy that holds otherwise. If all the enlightment of preceding\nages has served only to drag mankind deeper in the mire, scholars, preachers, writers,\nphilanthropists have lived in vain.\nCANADA OF THE SOUTH.\nGrowth of Venezuela in Political\nStability.\nThose too numerous persons who affect a nil admirari attitude toward Latin America will do well to take notice\nof the significance of a brief and mai-\nter-of-fact statement in the message\nwith which the other day President Al-\ncorta opened the session of the Argentine Congress. It was the stock of gold\nthat in the conversion caisse amounted\nto 201,653,000 pesos, or $194,595,145\nmeans that Argentina stands fourth\namong the nations of the world in the\namount ot gold reserve, those surpassing her being France, America and\nRussia. That is a remarkable financial\nstanding for the austral republic to enjoy, and it is a fitting circumstance of\nthe celebration of that country's 100th\nanniversary of independence, which occurs next month.\nBut Argentina is in many\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDwe might. .\nsay in all\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDrespects a remarkable country. We are not sure that among all\nthe lands which Sir Henry Maine half\npityingly and half contemptously and\naltogether despairingly called the\n\"mongrel republics\" there was down to\nhalf a century ago one which was more\nunpromising than the United Provinces of the Plate River. The incessant\nbickerings and wars among those loosely confederated states went far to justify Bolivar's pessimistic fear that in\nfreeing South America from Spain ha\nhad \"ploughed the sea\". All the faults\nof all the others were to be observed\nthere, with few of their virtues. In\na whole century Argentina has produced not a single chief of state of\ncommanding rank, comparable, let us\nsay, with Bolivar or Diaz. The most\nconspicious of them all was Rosas, and\nhe as a dictator ranked far below\nFrancia and Lopez.\nYet Argentina has grown in political\nstability and enlightment and in material wealth until it is the foremost\nstate of South America. Nor should\nit be difficult to discern the secrets of\nthat growth. The unification of the\nprovinces into a nation, fifty-seven\nyears ago, was the chief political reason. A polyglot and polychrome nation,\nit knows no racial or color lines. There\nis ready assimilation of aliens, there\nis equality, and there is no race suicide. If to these things we add an extensive and varied domain, rich in\nmany natural resources, with the best\nclimate in all the Southern Hemisphere,\nwe shall have completed the great\noutline of Argentina's grounds for\ngreat success. \"The Canada of the\nSouth\" that country has been called,\nand it deserves the name.\nI\nFruit Crop Destroyed.\nDes Moines, la., June4\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD (Special)\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\nThe late frosts practically wiped out the\nfruit crop.

Before the signing of\nthe agreement with the local government for the construction of a line\nof railway across the province, a continuation of the transcontinental line\nwhich they are establishing, little was\nheard of that well-known firm of railway builders in British Columbia, but\nsince then they have been more than\nordinarily prominent. It was known\nby a few that Mackenzie and Mann\nwere interested in the Fraser River\nLumber company, which lately disposed of its assets to the Canadian\nWestern Lumber company, but they\nwere silent factors in the capitalization. With the formation of the new\ncompany, however, not only the names\nof Mackenzie and Mann appear as\nprominent directors, but the name of\nD. B. Hanna, third vice-president of\nthe C. P. R. also figures. The latest\ndistrict to attract more than ordinary..\nattention in the province is the Portland canal, and there Mr. Mann is to\nbe found also.\nMr. Mann is the main mover in the\nconcern that is building a twenty-mile\nshort line for the benefit of mining\nproperties there, and besides that, the\nsyndicate which he had organized is\nsending out a small army of prospectors to hunt for minerals in that part\nof the province and also in south-eastern Alaska, which is close at hand,\nthe boundary line being along Portland\ncanal.\nA not uninteresting story is told in\nconnection with Mr. Mackenzie and the\nnew location of Port Mann on the\nFraser river. A local railway official\nwho had known him in the old days,\nventured to approach him, when he\nwas last on the coast, as to the probable locotion of the company's shops,\netc, out here.\n\"Acreage on the couth bank of the\nFraser river, between Por\n\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD4\"t\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD%*|'i\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD > t *-\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD* *\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD* t't't'i'%%^'k\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD'*\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD*\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD + \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD*/%\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\nDon't Wait!\nfor sales, which are not going to be held this year\nInvest Right Now\nand reap the benefit of the\nrapid rise in value that is\nbound to come this summer.\nOur list of snaps has become famous.

Edison, the inventor, makes a few predictions about\n\"The Tomorrows of Electricity and\nInvention.\"\nIn the not far distant future, says\nthe Wizard of Menly Park, all the\nchores of the household will be done\nby electric machines and the armies\nof clerks and sales people in the department stores will be replaced by\nmotors and slot machines. Mr. Edison says he is now at work on plans\nfor such a store and soon will have\nthem completed.\n\"Animal labor\"\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDthat is, human labor\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDmust give way, he insists, before\nthe scientific work of the electric machine. Humane societies, Mr. Edison prophesies, are doomed to early\nextinction with the positively sure\ndisappearance of the horse from the\nstreets of cities.\n\"For years past,\" he writes, \"I\nhave been trying to perfect a storage battery and now have rendered it entirely suitable to automobile and\nother work. There is absolutely no\nreason why horses should be allowed\nwithin city limits, for between the\ngasoline and the electric car no room\nis left for them. They are not needed.\nThe cow and the pig have gone and\nthe horse is still more undesirable.\n\"A higher public ideal of health\nand cleanliness is working toward\nsuch banishment very swiftly, and\nthen we shall have decent streets instead of stables made out of strips of\ncobblestones bordered by sidewalks.\nThe worst use of money is to make\na fine thoroughfare and then turn it\nover to horses. Besides that, the\nchange will put the humane societies\nout of business.\"\nThe substitution of electrical for\nhuman labor will cut down the cost\nof living to the minimum, Mr. Edison predicts, and he then proceeds to\nteli how, with his rapidly perfecting\nplans for \"pouring\" houses instead\nof \"building\" them, the laboring man\nmay have a fine home for a year's\nwage or thereabouts.\nTHE HOUSEWIFE AND THE FLY.\n\"Don't come into my parlor,\" said the\nhousewife to the fly,\n\"There's a screen at every window\nand your entrance I defy;\nThere are microbes on your footsteps\nand a crust upon your head\nWhich, if not microscopic, would fill\nour hearts with dread.\n\"You carry germs of typhoid and\nconsumption's bane,\nAnd our sanitary teachers paint you\ncrimes in language plain;\nDon't come into my parlor, and for\nsafety I would pray\nIf you walked into my dining room\nUpon some sunny day.\n\"There are seeds of vile distempers\nhidden in your tiny wings,\nAnd your many feet have traveled\nover nameless filthy things;\nYou're a menance to our safety, you\nare powerful tho small,\nAnd the mischief you accomplish\nwould the bravest hearts appal.\n\"If you enter I have poison all prepared for you to eat,\nAnd paper spread to tangle your\ngerm-laden wings and feet;\nI will poison, trap or smash you if\nyou do not leave my door,\nFor our modern sanitation will endure your calls no more.\"\nThe Oliver Typewriter\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\"The Best\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\nthat's all.\" Costs only 17c per day.\nSee Williams & Soule, city salesmen,\nPrince Rupert, B.C. w-tf\nA superb finish is obtained by using\nCampbell's Vurnish Stain on floors,\nfurniture, or interior woodwork.

Unlike\nthe American diplomatic service whose\nmembers tender their resignation at\neach charge of administration, the\nBritish diplomatic service is permanent, just like the civil service employees.\nAmbassador Bryce today denied that\nhe had in contemplation the writing of\na third volume of the \"American Commonwealth\", saying that the work had\nbeen completed 20 years ago.\nSince the death of King Edward the\nambassador has cancelled alle ngage-\nments to make public address at colleges\nor elsewhere.\nLIFE IN THE ARCTIC.\nHardships of Tent Existence Told\nby Peary.\n\"A man's first night in a canvax\ntent in the Arctic is likely to be rather\nwakeful,\" says Commander Peary in\nHampton's. \"The ice makes mysterious noises, the dogs bark and fight\noutside the tent where they are tethered, and as three Eskimos and one\nwhite man usually occupy a small\ntent and the oil stove is left burning\nall night, the air norwithstanding the\ncold, is not overpure, and sometimes\nthe Eskimos begin chanting to the\nspirits of their ancestors in the middl\nof the night. Sometimes, too, the new\nman'-s nerves are tried by hearing\nwolves howl in the distance.\n\"The tents are specially made. They\nare of light-weight canvas and the\nfloor of the tent is sewed directly into\nit. The fly is sewed up, a circular\nopening in it large enough to admit\na man, and that opening fitted with\na circular flap, which is closed by a\ndrawstring, making the tent absolutely snowproof. An ordinary tent when\nthe snow is flying would be filled in\nno time.\n\"The tent is pyramidal with one\npole in the centre, and the edges are\nusually held down by the sledges runners or by snowshoes used as tent\npegs. The men sleep on the floor\nwith a couple of deer skins wrapped\naround them. I have not used sleeping bags since my Arctic trip of 1891-92.\n\"The kitchen box for our sledge\njourneys is simply a wooden box containing two double burner oil stoves\nwith four-inch wicks. The two cooking pots are the bottoms of five-gallon coal oil tins fitted with covers.\nWhen packed they are turned bottom\nside up over each stove and the hinged cover of the wooden box is closed.\n\"On reaching camp, whether tent\nor snow igloo, the kitchen box is set\ndown inside; the top of the box is\nturned up and keeps the heat of the\nstove from melting the wall of the\nigloo or burning the tent; the hinged\nfront of the box is turned down and\nforms a table. The two cooking pots\nare filled with pounded ice and put\non the stove; when the ice melts one\npot is used to warm beans or to boil\nmeat, if there is any.\n\"Each man has a quart cup for tea\nand a hunting knife, which serves\nmany purposes. He does not carry a\nfork, and one teaspoon is considered\nquite enough for a party of four. Each\nman helps himself from the pot-\nsticks in his knife and fishes out a\npiece of meat.\nThe Alamo ore mill in the Slocan\nis to be repaired and re-operated.\nWATER NOTICE\nNotice is hereby given that an sppllcatln 1\nwill he made under part V ol tho \"Water \,.t I\n1909,\"to obtain a license in tho Coast Hivi.jL\nSkeena District.\na.

Bennett and Dr. Forrest of Port Hope.\nThe company controls the patents\non the process invented by Dr. Island,\nformerly a dentist at the corner of\nParliament and Gerrard streets, Toronto.\nHe discovered the process about five\nyears ago, and has already secured patents in the United States and Mexico,\nwhile applications are pending in all\nother countries.\nIt is stated that the process will\nrevolutionize the smelting industry,\nas it is available for treating low-\ngrade and refactory ores with commercial success. It has been sub-\nnitted to the leading chemists of the\nUnited States and pronounced a wonderful success, part of the treatment\nbeing of a character of which they\nhad never heard.\nA demonstrating plant was erected\nby the original shareholders at the\ncorner of Florence street and Brock\navenue, Toronto where the results have\nbeen such as to convince the most skeptical. It is shown that the metal in\nall classes of ore could be contracted\nwith a bss of less than 1 per cent.,\nand without waste, as the residue is\nalso made use of for commercial purposes.\nThe promotion of the company was\nplaced several years ago by Dr. Island in the hands of Mr. R. L. Cowan,\nwho succeeded in interesting capital,\nand proved the commercial value of\nthe proposition. Mr. Cowan brought\nthe matter to the attention of Mr. D.\nD. Mann, with whom he has entered\ninto an arrangement whereby Mr.\nMann will purchase the patent for\nthe entire world, providing that the\nvalue of the process is proven beyond\ndoubt. Mr. Mann is now putting up\na 10-ton capacity plant in an old\nbuilding near the King street railway\nbarns, where a complete commercial\ntest of the value of the process will\nbe made. Should this result as favorable as Mr. Mann and the shareholders fully expect, he will pay the\ncompany $6,000,000 for the rights\nfor the world. Mr,. Mann has heavy\ninterests in mines in Moose Mountains,\nnear Sudbury, in British Columbia,\nand other parts of the world, and\nwill at once proceed to erect smelters\nto refine their products.\nDr. James S. Island, the inventor of\nthe process, is an Orangeville boy,\nwho has been practising his profession in the city for some years. He is\nspoken of as a genius by his friends,\nand has many accomplishments to\nhis credit in chemistry. He is said to\nbe the only man who has discovered\nhow to make fibred gold for filling\nteeth.\nOperations are expected to bo re\nsumed by the British Columbia Cop\nper Company at Phoenix in a few\ndays.\nA deal is on for the Highland Queen,\na Galena property, close to Anaconda,\nSawdust dumped into the Kootenpy\nLakes is reported to be killing the\ntrout by thousands.\nPenticton City Council h: s granted\nthe Board of Trade $300 towards advertising, thc town.\nOwned and operated by the\nGrand Trunk Pacific Railway on\nthe American and European plan.\nExcellently furnished, with\nsteam heat, electric light, and all\nmodern conveniences, being absolutely first-class in every respect.\nThe appointments and service\nare equal to any hotel on the\ncoast.\nRates: $1 to $3.50 per day.\nG.

C, May 28.\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDAt the\nBritish embassy today the report that\nAmbassador James Bryce has asked\nto be relieved from further duty here\nwas characterized as a *\"silly repetition of a rumor already printed four or\nfive times.\"\nThe ambassador himself refused ad-\nsolutely to confirm or deny the report,\nbut from other sources at the embassy\nthe strong impression was gained that\nit had no foundation in fact. Unlike\nthe American diplomatic service whose\nmembers tender their resignation at\neach charge of administration, the\nBritish diplomatic service is permanent, just like the civil service employees.\nAmbassador Bryce today denied that\nhe had in contemplation the writing of\na third volume of the \"American Commonwealth\", saying that the work had\nbeen completed 20 years ago.\nSince the death of King Edward the\nambassador has cancelled alle ngage-\nments to make public address at colleges\nor elsewhere.\nLIFE IN THE ARCTIC.\nHardships of Tent Existence Told\nby Peary.\n\"A man's first night in a canvax\ntent in the Arctic is likely to be rather\nwakeful,\" says Commander Peary in\nHampton's. \"The ice makes mysterious noises, the dogs bark and fight\noutside the tent where they are tethered, and as three Eskimos and one\nwhite man usually occupy a small\ntent and the oil stove is left burning\nall night, the air norwithstandihg the\ncold, is not overpure, and sometimes\nthe Eskimos begin chanting to the\nspirits of their ancestors in the middl\nof the night. Sometimes, too, the new\nman'-s nerves are tried by hearing\nwolves howl in the distance.\n\"The tents are specially made. They\nare of light-weight canvas and the\nfloor of the tent is sewed directly into\nit. The fly is sewed up, a circular\nopening in it large enough to admit\na man, and that opening fitted with\na circular flap, which is closed by a\ndrawstring, making the tent absolutely snowproof. An ordinary tent when\nthe snow is flying would be filled in\nno time.\n\"The tent is pyramidal with one\npole in the centre, and the edges are\nusually held down by the sledges runners or by snowshoes used as tent\npegs. The men sleep on the floor\nwith a couple of deer skins wrapped\naround them. I have not used sleeping bags since my Arctic trip of 1891-92.\n\"The kitchen box for our sledge\njourneys is simply a wooden box containing two double burner oil stoves\nwith four-inch wicks. The two cooking pots are the bottoms of five-gallon coal oil tins fitted with covers.\nWhen packed they are turned bottom\nside up over each stove and the hinged cover of the wooden box is closed.\n\"On reaching camp, whether tent\nor snow igloo, the kitchen box is set\ndown inside; the top of the box is\nturned up and keeps the heat of the\nstove from melting the wall of the\nigloo or burning the tent; the hinged\nfront of the box is turned down and\nforms a table. The two cooking pots\nare filled with pounded ice and put\non the stove; when the ice melts one\npot is used to warm beans or to boil\nmeat, if there is any.\n\"Each man has a quart cup for tea\nand a hunting knife, which serves\nmany purposes. He does not carry a\nfork, and one teaspoon is considered\nquite enough for a party of four. Each\nman helps himself from the pot-\nsticks in his knife and fishes out a\npiece of meat.\nThe Alamo ore mill in the Slocan\nis to be repaired and re-operated.\nWATER NOTICE\nNotice is hereby given that an applii\nwill he made under part V ot tho \"Water U-tJ\n1909,\"to obtain a license in the Coast Division!\nSkeena District.\nu.

P.\n2nd Avenue and 6th Street\nOpp. Theatre\nA deal for a smelting invention, involving millions of dollars, and bringing fortune to a young Canadian, has been consummated, and the notices went out a\nfew days ago to the fortunate shareholders in the company interested calling\na meeting for the formal ratification\nof the agreement.\nThe concern in question is the Island Smelting & Refining Company,\nLimited, which has been incorporated,\nand for which the charter will soon be\nissued. The capital stock has been\nplaced at $3,000,000, of which $1,750,000\nhave been issued.\nA number of prominent men are\ninterested, the executive consisting of\nMessrs. W. K. McNaught, M. L. A.;\nJohn Douglas, R. L. Cowan, John\nFord, and R. C. Wigmore, all of Toronto, and R. E. Southby, L. G. Bennett and Dr. Forrest of Port Hope.\nThe company controls the patents\non the process invented by Dr. Island,\nformerly a dentist at the corner of\nParliament and Gerrard streets, Toronto.\nHe discovered the process about five\nyears ago, and has already secured patents in the United States and Mexico,\nwhile applications are pending in all\nother countries.\nIt is stated that the process will\nrevolutionize the smelting industry,\nas it is available for treating low-\ngrade and refactory ores with commercial success. It has been sub-\nnitted to the leading chemists of the\nUnited States and pronounced a wonderful success, part of the treatment\nbeing of a character of which they\nhad never heard.\nA demonstrating plant was erected\nby the original shareholders at the\ncorner of Florence street and Brock\navenue, Toronto where the results have\nbeen such as to convince the most skeptical. It is shown that the metal in\nall classes of ore could be contracted\nwith a bss of less than 1 per cent.,\nand without waste, as the residue is\nalso made use of for commercial purposes.\nThe promotion of the company was\nplaced several years ago by Dr. Island in the hands of Mr. R. L. Cowan,\nwho succeeded in interesting capital,\nand proved the commercial value of\nthe proposition. Mr. Cowan brought\nthe matter to the attention of Mr. D.\nD. Mann, with whom he has entered\ninto an arrangement whereby Mr.\nMann will purchase the patent for\nthe entire world, providing that the\nvalue nf the process is proven beyond\ndoubt, Mr. Mann is now putting up\na 10-ton capacity plant in an old\nbuilding near the King street railway\nbarns, where a complete commercial\ntest of the value of the process will\nbe made. Should this result as favorable as Mr. Mann and the shareholders fully expect, he will pay the\ncompany $6,000,000 for the rights\nfor the world. Mr,. Mann has heavy\ninterests in mines in Moose Mountains,\nnear Sudbury, in British Columbia,\nand other parts of the world, and\nwill at once proceed to erect smelters\nto refine their products.\nDr. James S. Island, the inventor of\nthe process, is an Orangeville boy,\nwho has been practising his profes\nsion in the city for some years. He is\nspoken of as a genius by his friends,\nand has many accomplishments to\nhis credit in chemistry. He is said to\nbe the only man who has discovered\nhow to make fibred gold for filling\nteeth.\nOperations are expected to be re\nsumed by the British Columbia Cop\nper Company at Phoenix in a few\ndays.\nA deal is on for the Highland Queen,\na Galena property, close to Anaconda,\nSawdust dumped into the Kootenpy\nLakes is reported to be killing the\ntrout by thousands.\nPenticton City Council hi s granted\nthe Board of Trade $300 towards \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDu-\nvertising. thc town.\nOwned and operated by the\nGrand Trunk Pacific Railway on\nthe American and European plan.\nExcellently furnished, with\nsteam heat, electric light, and all\nmodern conveniences, being absolutely first-class in every respect.\nThe appointments and service\nare equal to any hotel on the\ncoast.\nRates: $1 to $3.50 per day.\nG.

If\nivory is discolored, use a little\nalcohol.\nln mashing potatoes, it pays to heat\nthe milk, adding the butter to the milk,\nbefore turning into the mashed potatoes.\nThere is no better way to remove egg\nstains from silver than by rubbing\nvigorously with a damp cloth dipped i\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\nalt.\nIf a few pin holes are made in an egg\nshell before the egg is boiled, there will\nbe no danger of cracks in the shell.\nIi there are stains from machine oil\non a white garment, rub the spots well\nlift a cloth in ammonia before washing\nnth soap, and they will disappear.\nFew people seem to know, when preparing dried peaches, the skins can be\neasily peeled off if the peaches are\nid to stand in cold water for severa\nhours.\nAn excellent way of keeping a black\nleather handbag or travelling bag in\ncondition is to rub it well occasionally\nWith milk. Wipe with a chamois until\nPerfectly dry.\nIn cleaning bric-a-brac, it is well to\nuse a soft brush, so as to get into all\nthe crrevices where the dust is apt\nWge, The same /ilan should be followed\nWith cups.

D. NEWTON\nReal Estate Notary Public\nPrince Rupert is no longer \"A will-be\ndistributing point.\" It is now the centre\nand natural hub of a vast and very rapidly developing territory. It is a wholesale centre and the three houses already\nestablished here are daily increasing their\nbusiness. To those men is due much\ncredit for they came in here when the\nfuture of the city was in the dark and\ndistant future. But they had faith in the\ncity and in the surrounding country.\nThey all made a start in a small way, but\nthe development has been so great and\nso unprecedented that all three have\nplans either prepared or underway for\nthe erection of new and larger warehouses\nwithin the present year. Each of the firms\nwill show their records and all are the\nsame viz, the first months business was a\nfew hundred dollars, while the past month\ntheir books show a turn over of many\nthousands of dollars. When it is remembered that the first warehouse was\nopened only about two years ago this\nexpansion is most remarkable.\nThe firms now doing a wholesale\nbusiness in Prince Rupert are:\nClarke & Ives, grocers and produce\nmerchants, although the name will shortly be changed to H. H. Clarke as he has\npurchased Mr. Ives' interests and that\ngentleman is retiring. It was only in\nJune of last year that Mr. Clarke\nannounced that he was prepared to\ncater to the needs of the grocers of\nPrince Rupert and Northern British\nColumbia. That month he disposed of\n$500 worth of groceries and produce. In\nMay, the month just closed he sold\n$22,000 worth of goods.\nThat business has truly being going\nwith the country. In future Mr. Clarke\nwill make produce his specialty.\nAnother firm is Stewart & Mobley,\ngrocers and produce merchants. They\nopened a warehouse on Rupert Road\nin the first babyhood of Prince Rupert,.\nThey too had a small output at first,\nbut at the present time they send out\nmany tons of goods valued at many\nthousands of dollars. They have a big\nstaff working all the time and their\npresent quarters are not nearly large\nenough for them. A new warehouse\nwill shortly be started on the water\nfront.\nJ. Piercy, Morris & Co., wholesale\ndry goods merchants, came here in July,\n1908. They put in a stock of men's\nclothing, bedding, small wares, etc.,\nbecause they knew that that class of\ngoods was most needed. Their judgment\nproved good for today they are not only\nholding their own, but they are out-doing\nthe firms from the south and east.\nSo fast has their business grown that\nthey have had to pack stock away in\nseveral buildings. Their premises are\nj much too small and their new warehouse\nhas not been started yet but will be under\nway in the fall.\nThe wholesale men in Prince Rupert\ncater to a country 350 miles by 350\nmiles, and this city holds the key to that\nentire area. The south and east\ncannot undersell them, neither can\nthey deliver the goods within ten\n| days as soon as Rupert firms can\n! although there is only a boat service here\nyet. That service however, is good and it\nis fast.\nThe districts being populated now,\noutside of this city, are upon the Skeena\nriver to Hazelton, Kitselas, Kitsumkalum,\nand Port Essington, all thriving towns\nwhich cater immediately to mining camps\nand salmon and halibut canneries. Also\nto the Queen Charlotte Islands, a land\nrich in coal and minerals and with a\nwonderful agricultural future. The\ntowns there now are Queen Charlotte\nCity and the whaling fishery depot,\nMasset and Skidegate all growing and\nprosperous.\nTo the North there it goes a hundred\nmiles and more into the rich and un-\nestimatable mining camps of the Portland\nCanal district. The towns are Stewart,\nPort Nelson, Mill Bay and other\ntowns up the Naas River. Then it goes\ninto the very fertile Bulkley and Kispiox\nValleys which are now being rapidly\nsettled. Wonderful though it may seem,\ngoods are sold from Prince Rupert to the\nSouthern coast towns down to Queen\nI Charlotte Sound, or almost into Vancouver's own camp.\nSo particularly favorable is this city\nsituated for wholesale business that more\nfirms from the South are coming up\nimmediately to erect warehouses. It\nmight also be mentioned here that there\nis great need for wholesale hardware,\nboots and shoes, and other houses of\nthat class. The firms that come first will\nget the cream and the others who wait\nfor a bigger city, will only have the milk\nto fight over. Prince Rupert is the only\nwholesale centre for the north. No other\ndistrict can or will ever be able to compete.\nSf^AA^AAA^A^F^A**\nJ. Y.

WHARF\nA DISGRACE TO CANADA.\nOut of Date Ditch and Guns Lying\nUnmounted.\n\"Well, this is indeed a disgrace to\nCanada,\" was the remark overheard by\nThe Mail man this week as he stood on\nthe edge of the graving dock at Esquimalt\nThe speaker was a man who had traveled\nconsiderably over the world and knew\nwhereof he spoke.\nThe reasorf for his remark was the discovery that the great British r^aval dockyard and fort of Esquimalt was but a\nname, the dockyard itself of little use\nin cas'e of war, and the drydock fit only\nfor the repairing of small merchant\nvessels. The Mail man made a few inquiries and learned that the only drydock\non the Pacific coast of Canada was but\n400 feet in length, 65 feet in width, and\ncapable of accommodating vessels of 19\nfeet maximum draft. Therefore it was\nnot only useless for the repairing of modern war vessels, but if a very ordinary\nsized merchant vessel required repairing\nshe would have to go elsewhere than\nEsquimalt dockyard for accommodation.\nSuch a case happened recently, so the\nMail man was informed. A steamboat\nsustained injuries sufficiently serious\nto make it risky for her to travel any\ndistance for repairs. She put in at Esquimalt but could not be accommodated,\nthe drydock being too small. Finally she\nhad to steam to Seattle, with a possibility\nof not reaching that port.\n\"What would happen if a British fleet\nwere required on the Pacific to protect\nthe Canadian coast against a foe from\nthe Orient?\" asked the traveled man.\n\"We would either have to go to the indignity of borrowing the use of American\ndockyards, or the vessels would fall\ninto bad repair and their usefulness\nwould be greatly impaired. Why does,\nthe government at Ottawa, now that\nthey have taken over this navy yard,\nlet it lie wasting, when at a moment's\nnotice it may be most urgently required?\"\nThere are forts at Esquimalt which are\npopularly supposed to guard the entrance\nto the Straits of Juan de Fuca and the\napproaches to Victoria and Vancouver\nFor SALE\nLot 19, block 28, section 5 $600\nLot 21, block 28, section 5 $600\nLot 22, block 28, section 5 700\nLots 21, 22, block 16, section 6 1500\nLots 9, 10, block 17, section 7 525\nLots 13, 14, 15, block 8, section 7.. 500\nLots 29, 30, 31, 32, blk 2, sec. 8.... 400\nLots 19, 20, 21, 22, blk 41, see. 8 .. 300\nTo Rent\n2-roomed house, summit Ave \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD $10.00\n3-roomed cottagf-, 7th Ave., sec. 5, 20.00\n4-roomed house, 4th Ave., sec. 6.. .25.00\nG.R.

The guns that are mounted\nin the forts, altho they are of first-class\nbuild and of the disappearing type, are\nonly six-inch calibre, effective to a range\nof six or seven miles, beyond which a\nfleet of warships could steam with perfect safety and use their heavy guns more\nor less effectively on the forts. In other\nwords, the Esquimalt forts exist not to\nprotect the coast, but to protect Esquimalt harbor. During the Russian-Japanese\nwar, when there was a possibility of a\nhostile fleet swooping down on this coast\nif the Russians proved victorious in the\nfight, the British Admiralty sent a number of heavy 9.2-inch guns to Esquimalt\nto command the entrance to the Straits,\nand a start was made to mount them in\nthe forts. That was as far as the work\nwent. The Dominion government took\nover the forts, and the guns since then\nhave lain at the foot of the hill, useless\nfor any practical purpose.\nSurely the time has come when Esquimalt should be restored and brought up\nto date. The guns should be mounted,\nthe garrison increased to a standard\nthat would be effective in case of sudden\nemergency, and a drydock should be\nconstructed sufficiently large to accomrr.to-\ndate any vessel of ordinary twentieth\ncentury dimensions. A great navy dockyard should be built in the perfect harbor\nof Vancouver. It is time that the Pacific\ncoast of Canada was adequately protected. It is time for Canada to awaken to a\nknowledge of the helplessness of he\nva'u'able Pacific shores and to take\nimmediate steps to relieve the urgency\nof the situation.\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDVancouver Sunday Mail\nFor \"everything in canvas,\" go to the\nPrince Rupert Tent & Awning Co. ii 9-tf\nWANTED\nApplications for Chief of Police.\nApplications will be received by the\nundersigned up to July l\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDt for the position of Chief of Police.
