To that\nmeeting all of his friends and supporters are invited. Those who are not personally\nacquainted with Alderman Mobley, but who are curious to know the gentleman\nwho has been selected by his colleagues to be their leader for next year should\nnot fail to attend. Alderman Mobley is worth knowing. His courageous action\nin coming forward at the Citizens' League meeting laat Saturday night and defending\nhis department from the attacks of those who sought to make political capital out\nof the meeting was typical of him. He is head and shoulders above the other\ntwo candidates for Mayor.\nDuring Alderman Mobley's term of office he haa displayed a capacity for work;\nhe has become thoroughly acquainted with the needa and problems of the city.\nThat service is a guarantee of his character; that knowledge a guarantee of his\nability.\nAlways, as in the incident of Saturday night, he has displayed courage in\ndeclaring his convictions and ability in resisting and repelling an attack. Hia\npersonal integrity and manly qualities are unquestioned.\nIt was no undeserved compliment which Mr. D'Arcy Tate, counsel for the\nG. T. P. paid to Alderman Mobley and his brother aldermen yeaterday during\nthe conference on the assessment question, when he spoke of their firmness in\nstanding out for the interests of the city, and thoroughly businesslike attitude.\nOpposed to Aid Mobley is a gentleman scarcely leas able in point of natural\ngifts, bat who lacks his strength of character and taste for work. No man in\nNorthern British Columbia has had more splendid chances than Mr. Manson;\ncertainly none has flung them away bo recklessly.\nSeven months ago Mr. Manson offered himself for Mayor and was rejected\nThe memory of his betrayal of the city in the matter of the Tsimpsean Power\ncompany's franchise and his silence in the House when the city's charter waa being\nmutilated were then fresh in the public mind, nor have they yet been forgotten.\nSince (ken his lack of spine has been manifested in many ways. Even since his\npresent campaign began he has showed his unfitness for public life by leading both\nparties in the recent Scott Act issue to believe that he was on their side. Even\nwhen challenged in the press to come out of hiding and face the charge he funked,\nand made excuses to his friends.\nWith two candidates having such strongly marked contrasts the issue ia\nsimplified. The voter who wants to know and support the better man can make\nno mistake in attending at Alderman Mobley's committee rooms this evening.\nCondensed Advertisements.\nB\nARE YOU IN NEED OF HELPT Do you waat\nto buy. or sail, or hire, or loan?

The only\nexpensive work is on the terraces above\nthe waterfront, but behind that the\ncountry is not half so difficult as at the\nback of Seattle which is now in process\nof development also. There is room for\na city of unlimited population. Even\nif the population stretched out to half\na million there would be no difficulty\nin accommodating them in the area\navailable.\n\"I have been impressed with thc\nnumber of beautiful buildings already\nerected although they are frame buildings\nand will have to be replaced in a few\nyears with permanent structures, they\nare nevertheless of a high character for\nso young a city, and they represent\nmuch investment, which is indicative\nof confidence in the future.\nIntelligent People\n\"I have been impressed particularly\nwith the very largo number of intelligent\nenterprising men. I have never been\nIn a new city anywhere which had only\nreached the stage of development of\nPrince Rupert with anything like the\npercentage of intelligent, wide awake,\nenergetic, business men. I consider\nthem as the greatest asset of the city;\nand they are all optimistic. I have never\nattended such meetings in a town of\nthiB size, or anything like the size nor\nhave I ever known audiences follow\nthe discussion of public topics with the\nattention and interest of Prince Rupert\naudiences. If the same interest is taken\nin all public questions no mistake can\nbe made and the future of I'rince Rupert\nis assured.\nExternal Inftuencea\n\"Apart from the inherent evidences\nof a great future I consider that there\nare external influences at work which\nwill speedily contribute to that future\nin a marked degree. Apart altogether\nfrom the fact that it is the terminal\nof a transcontinental railway I'rince\nRupert will be the capital of Northern\nBritish Columbia; and she will speedily\nrealize that position when the Bulkley\nValley and the Naas Valley are developed as they will be in the immediate\nfuture. The latter, in my opinion is\ngoing to surprise everybody. It is\none of the largest and most fertile\nvalleys in British Columbia with more\nthan half a million acres already taken\nup. I believe that probably the whole\nof this valley will be colonized by\norganized colonization companies, which\nwill mean a more rapid development\nthan by the ordinary process.\n\"I have also reason to know that\nwithin a few years the railway will run\nfrom lkai Valley, through the Naas\ncountry, by the Kitsumkalum to the\nSkeena river and thence to Prince\nRupert. It i.\" not unlikely however that\nthe greatest industrial factor in the making of Prince Kuper will he the development of the fishcr'es hu'ness; and I\nshould not be surprised if within a few\nyean? there was a score of canneries\niis.Hr Prince Rupert as well as a totally\nunexpected development of the fisheries\nof every kind, especially halibut.\nConl Price Outrageous\n'1 might speak of the mining possibilities but lhat is a more speculative\nelement. There Is sufficient evidence\nhowever to justify ihe conclusion that\ncoal in abur.riance will be found within\neasy distance of Prince Rupert, say one\nhundred miles, and that ought to result\n'n cutting the present price of coal in\nthis city right in half. I ds. not hesitate\nto say that $11 a ton m Prince Kupert\nis an out-age on common sense, and\nnothing short of a holdup. Fuel is a\nvery important factor not only in lhe\ncost of living but in the development\nof a city.\n\"I found Prince Rupert on what wsa\nmy lirst visit, bigger, slr-mgcr, and\nbetter and more hopeful than 1 expected,\nwhich only goes to show that the outside world has not been any too well\ninformed as lo its resousces and at-\ntrac'ions.

The labors of the two\nscientists and explorers are nearing an\nend and they will soon be back home\nafter two years of work.\nThe Stefasson-Anderson expedition,\nas it is called, differed materially from\nthe usustl expedition which is sent into\nthe Arctic wilds. Usually expeditions\nbefore siatrtiiig for the land of per\npetual ice provide themselves with a\ncomplete muds, for braving tbe rigors\nof the frozen north. Hut Stetansson\nand Anderson traveled light. The ex\nplorers carried little or no food, extra\nclothing or house materials. The whole\nplan was thought out before they left\ntown. It was planned that, as the main\npurpose of the expedition was an eth-\nlining i-nl one, it would be best to live\nwith the natives in their houses in order\nto better study thc language, folklore,\nsongs, customs and beliefs* and ambitions of the primitive people.\nThen- was one stretch of fifteen days\nwhen Mr. Stefansson and his band of\nEskimos existed on whale meat, sealskin, some deerskin for sole leather, our\nsnowshoe lashings, in fact every edible\nthing except clothes.\nSKEENA RAILWAY\nHAS BIG PLANS\nLINES WILL OPERATE OVER A\nLAGRE AREA OF COUNTRY\nCharter to Provide Power for Building Branch Line From the Junction of Skeena River to Blackwater\nRiver.\nThe ramifications of the proposed\nNaas and Skeena River Railway company for which a charter will be applied\nat the next session of the Legislature\nare to be of an extensive character\nThe purpose of the company is to\nbuild a railway from Groundhog Valley\ndown the south side of the Skeena\nRiver to its junction with the Slan\ntieeat River; thence (ollowing the\nSlan Geest River up to a point near\nFifth Cabin on the Yukon Telegraph\nLine; ihence westerly tn a point near\nBlackwater Lake; thence d>wn the\nBlackwater River or by way of the\nCOAL NOTICE\nQ\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD.\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD.nth.rlou,l^ml,Un\nTake as*, ltal ,\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD*\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD , mna'h^*\nCharlotte, s\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDu\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDa\"0\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD \"\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD-*\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD gW\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD ol (M.\nv i-ii.n.isnrwK a* | r\nmsrkesl No. 36. t R^*tf i\n\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD M> rh.in. \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 Ssl\n\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDve mues Fast\nisrsnsm Islsnd snd markssl *\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\".\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD*\"'. *J**sssi I\neorner, th.nce we.TtT,hklV' **' \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\neha ne, thence east H 2?\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD ' '}\"\"* MS.

Unfortunately the inclement weather militated considerably against the event\nachieving the same amount of success\nit would have done had the circumstances\nbeen normal. Those who were there\nhowever made up for their numerical\nshortcomings by an exceed of appreciation\nwith a result that waa satisfactory in\na high degree to all parties. When it\nia remembered that the Society only\ncame into existence three months ago\ntheir concert of laat night must rank\nhigh. The material ia there all right\nand there cannot be any doubt that\nthe Society will develop greater compass\nand power with the advent of a little\ntime.\nThe programme was arranged with\na due regard for variety; and while\nnone of the numbers attacked offered\nany great technical difficulty the style\nand finish with which they were rendered\nwaa indicative of the fact that they\nwere well within their depth. Numbering over thirty the Society ia rich in\nvocal talent. If in one or two instances\nthe spirit of interpretation was conspicuous by its absence, it was made\nup for by the generous measure of\nfaultless expression and enunciation.\nAmong the glees, which brought out\nthe best qualities in the composition\nof the Society, were such favorites as\n\"Jack Frost,\" \"Break, Break, Break,\"\nand the \"Lullaby of Life.\"\nThe leading soloist waa Misa Holtby\nwho rendered \"The Carnival\" in a\nmanner that left little to cavil at. Her\nrich flexible voice found itself at home\nin expressing the charmingly varied\nmoods of the song. Mr. J. E. Davey\nthe conductor and organiser, sang\n\"Nirvana\" and proved himself the\npossessor of a pure tenor voice. Meaars.\nDavey, Scott, Melliar, Froud and Fletcher, took part in quartette numbers\nwhich were much enjoyed.\nAdditional variety was lent to the\nperformance by the recitation of \"Lasca\"\nby Mr. F. A. Ellis. Gray'a Orchestra\nfigured prominently in the second half\nof the programme. Their musical\nservices were so much appreciated that\nthey had to respond. During the\ninterval Mayor Stork spoke a few words,\nencouraging the society and commending\nit to the music loving public of Prince\nRupert.\nCULVERT IS A GOOD ONE\nStreets Committee Report on Firat\nAvenue Work\nRegarding the culvert work on First\nsvenue the quality of the timber\nwhich had occasioned alarm in the\nbreast of Mr. C. Bennett of Vancouver,\nthe streets committee stated last night\nthst this work waa so planned that\nrepairs when necseesary can be eaaily\neffected.\nSpeaking about the work yesterday\nColonel Davis remarked that it is\nunwise of any one to judge a job too\nhastily when it is unfinished. As a\nmatter of fact, a strong stone arch\nwill be built over the culvert where the\ntimber is now only temporarily used.\nTHE TWO RIVALS\nMEET AT LAST\nDR. SPENCER AND MR.

Last night Dr. Spencer and\nMr. Faris, the Scott Act campaigners,!\nfound themselves in company with Mr.\nWilliam Blakemore, the license hero,\nand it is just possible that before th\"\njourney is completed they will have\narrived at a better understanding of\none another's arguments and will have\ndeveloped a higher regard for each\nother's veracitv.\nThese prominent agitators were not\nthe only people of consequence which\nthe Prince George conveyed back to\nVancouver. There waa Mr. D'Arcy\nTate, who waa returning after having\nbean in consultation with the civic\nrulers of the city in connection with\nthat all important question the G. T.
