FRIDAY, AUGUST 4, 1911.\nPrice, Five Cents.\nx ^ctoria, Bws**f\nPOWER PROPOSALS\nR. Brutinel Meets the Board of Trade\nand Discusses Plans for\nCity.\nReport Received by Special Committee Recommends Accepting\nProposition Offered\nAt a meeting of the Board of\nTrade held on Wednesday evening a\nreport was presented from the special committee appointed to go into\nthe question of the proposition presented by R. Brutinel on behalf of\nthe Tsimpshean Power Company.\nThe report was presented by the\nchairman of the committee, J. H.\nPillsbury. It was as follows:\nTo the Prince Rupert Board of\nTrade.\nGentlemen\u00E2\u0080\u0094Your committee begs\nto report on the above subject as\nfollows: In considering this proposition, your committee almost immediately encountered two phases of\nthe question which seem to require\nconsiderable study.\nThe first is the prices and the second the method of measurement of\npower used, on .which the prices are\nbased. As a matter of fact, these\ntwo questions are so closely related\nthat they may be discussed as one\nsubject. There is no explanation in\nthe company's proposal as to how the\nprices of power delivered are to be\nbased. A price of so much per horse\npower per year is set forth, varying\nIn accordance with the amount of\npower used, within certain limits. It\nIs the custom when selling electrical\npower by the horse power per year\nto base measurements on what is\nknown as the \"peak load.\" Unlike\neither water or gas, electricity can\nbe stored only to a very limited extent and at a relatively great ex,-\npense. A company must be prepared\nwith a plant, however, for generating and distributing electricity, of\nsufficient capacity to take care of the\naggregate requirements of all of its\ncustomers at the moment of their\ngreatest demand, arid this is called\nthe \"peak of the load.\" The \"load\nfactor\" is another form of expression for the same thing. For Instance, If the \"peak load\" is five\ntimes the average load, then the load\nfactor is 20 per cent. Twenty-three\nper cent Is a common value for the\n\"load factor.\"\nFixed Costs\nThe fixed costs of an electric company are very large as compared to\nother business undertakings, because\na considerable proportion of the Investment required to provide for the\n\"peak of the load\" must stand idle\nabout twenty hours of each day, except for a short period of each year,\nand also because of the necessity of\nbeing ready at all times of the day\nor night to take care of any demand\nwhich the customers may make.\nAn essential feature Is that the\ncost of being ready to furnish electricity when called for is one thing,\nand the cost of manufacturing the\ncurrent actually delivered is a different thing. It appears, therefore,\nthat the custom in vogue of basing\nmeasurements on the \"peak of the\nload\" is justifiable provided measurements are properly taken.\nThe Tsimpsean company has nothing to say on this point, but we may,\nrest assured that Its measurements\nwill be based on the \"peak load.\"\nWe do not know whether (he company would use an annual or a\nmonthly maximum load In figuring\nthe quantities of current supplied.\nThe more frequently the maximum is\ndetermined, the less will be the cost\nto the consumer. We would recommend that the maximum load be determined at least monthly over a 30\nminute period, and this, as far as we\ncan learn, is customary in other\nplaces.\nAlternative Method\nAnother method of charging for\nelectricity, which is being more and\nmore used, is as follows: A small\nfixed charge for so much per H. P.\nIs made, commonly $1 per month,\nan In addition a price of so much per\nK. W. hour is made. By this method the consumer conies much nearer\npaying for the power he actually\nuses, since only a part of the total\ncharge Is dependent on the \"peak\nload\" and the balance Is made on the\npower actually used.\nThe Western Canada Power Company has adopted this method of\ncharges for its power from Stave\nLake and It is understood that It Is\nmeeting with general favor. Your\nREARRANGE PLANS\n* (Special to The Journal)\n* Ottawa, Aug. 4.\u00E2\u0080\u0094R. L. Bor-\n* den has made a slight change\n* in his plans.

Within 90 days he expects\nto have an output of about 25 tons\na day for shipment to Prince Rupert,\nwhich will be a boon to the citizens\nhere. From that time on the increase in output should be quite\nmarked.\nMr. McMorris is taking half a ton\nof the coal south with him for demonstration purposes.\nWANT A STATION\nTHHK WORLD'S PEACE\n(Special to The Journal) *\nWashington, Aug. 4.\u00E2\u0080\u0094Gen- *\neral arbitration treaties between *\nthe United States and Great *\nBritain and the United States *\nand France were signed yester- *\nday.

A fire is supposed to\nhave started in some way near the\npowder but was noticed In time to\nallow the blacksmith to escape.\nThe powder exploded with such\nforce as to demolish the little building and broke the plate glass fronts\nfor several hundred feet around. The\nCentral Hotel, being close, suffered\nthe most severely, having all the\nwindows on Seventh street shattered.\nThe old school house near at hand\nhad a narrow escape from taking\nfire from embers being carried onto\nthe roof. These were soon put out\nthrough the gathering of citizens and\nthe firemen.\nFortunately, no one was hurt, although it is difficult to imagine how\nall could escape, as many were close\nto the building at the time of the\nexplosion.\nK'tsnmkalum Will Make Application to\n4 Railway Commission For a\nDepot There\nDelegation From the Valley Is Now\nin the City on This\nBusiness\nVISITED LAKELSE\nS. Corley Has Returned From mi\n(luting in the Interior\nValley\nS. Corley of the Royal Hotel returned from a trip made to the Lakelse valley. He Is more than ever\nimpressed with the possibilities of\nthat district from every standpoint,\n.he agricultural riches of the valley are difficult to overestimate. Mr.\nCorley brought with him a few cases\nof strawberries which have convinced\nhis guests that he Is correct In his\nestimate of the district In that respect.\nMr. Corley speaks highly of the\nroads being built by the government\nin that part of the province. When\nthe work Is completed that has been\nbegun there will be a way provided\nthat will enable the settlers and visitors very easy access to the whole\nof the,valley. Part of the pay, where\nthe road is now completed, there\nwould be no difficulty in taking an\nauto over. The rest of it is being\ndone equally well.\nA party of residents from Kitsum-\nkalum, including Mr. Weeks and\nMr. Eby, are In the city. They are\nengaged preparing data to be presented before the railway commission when It sits here this month.\nFred Peters, K. C, will represent\nthe residents of that valley before\nthe commission.\nThe company is making application to have a station put in at that\npoint. The residents state that they\nhave been well treated by General\nSuperintendent Mehan and the G.T.P.\nofficials, who have given them a siding and accommodated them as well\nas possible, hut they desire a station to be built there in order to\nproperly conduct all business for the\nfuture.\nSir Wilfrid Will Address First Meeting\nin Favor of W. A. Charlton of Annexation Reputation\nThe political situation in the riding of Comox-Atlin, owing to the immense area covered by it, has not\nassumed a campaign atmosphere owing to the fact that neither of the\npolitical parties has yet held its convention and selected its candidate.\nOn the Conservative side the arrangements for the convention for\nthe whole riding are now being carried out and the date and place for\nthe gathering may be expected to be\nmade at any time. When that is\ndone the situation will be fully gone\ninto for the purpose of making\nchoice of a standard bearer,\nThe Liberals likewise have not\nheld any general voncention, and\nhave promise of some little excitement when the meeting takes place.\nW. Sloan, formerly member for the\nconstituency, it Is announced, is on\nhis way from the Old Country, anxious to be the candidate and prepared to put up a fight for il in\nconvention. He is not believed to\nbe generally acceptable to the local\nLiberal Association, the members of\nwhich body desire to see Duncan\nRoss selected.\nThen, again, George Morrow is antagonistic to both of these candidates and will contest with them the\nchances of being the nominee of the\nconvention with the avowed intention\nof contesting the seat whether he is\nturned down or not. For a long time\nMr. Morrow has had decided differences with the party to which he\nbelongs. He has contended that he\nwas not properly treated locally, but\nat the same time does not, it is\nsaid, differ from Sir Wilfrid. He\nhas accordingly \"plowed his own\nfurrow\" in the party to a very great\netenxt for the last few years.\nChanges in Cabinet Are to Be Made\nHon. L. P.

It was pointed out by\nseveral present that this was a long\nstanding complaint, the chief objection being to the uncertainty as to\nwhat the charges were to be. This\nwas due to the fact that the charges\nwere made by weight and by measurement, with the result that tlie\nmeasurement varied very materially\nfrom time to time. Complaints have\nbeen frequent and the matter had\nbeen up from time to time, but It\nseemed so far impossible to get the\nmatter properly fixed.\nIt was urged that there should\nbe a more uniform system adopted.\nThe railway commission, It was\npointed out, was not given power\nover this branch of traffic.\nThe matter was referred to the\ncouncil of the Board of Trade to\ntake the necessary steps to have\nsomething done to right what was\nlooked upon us vexation condition.\n(Special to The Journal)\nOttawa, Aug. 4.\u00E2\u0080\u0094Sir Wilfrid Laurier will open the present campaign\non August 15, at Simcoe, Norfolk\nCounty, where Hon.

If the signs of tne times are\nto be trusted, there is every likelihood in the near future of a boom\nin coal mining, such as we have not\nhad for many a year. Indeed, ihe\nstory of recent developments reads\nmore like a Jules Verne romance\nthan the record of ordinary business\nenterprise. The Barnsley bel of coal\nis noted throughout the business\nworld. A line, rich seam some eight\nor nine feet thick, it was supposed\nto come to an end in tlie neighborhood of Coiiisborough, and for years\nno hopes ol' finding such another\nseam existed.\nThe scientists, however, came forward, and succeeded in convincing\nthe business man that this was a\nmistaken idea. They maintained\nthat through some great upheaval\nof nature In prehistoric times the\ncoal-bed had sunk to a deeper level\nbut that it could most probably be\nlocated again between Barnsley and\nthe eastern cost of Yorkshire.\nMuch money, time and patience\nwere expended. Borings were successfully sunk in various places uy\ndifferent speculators, with the result that today we are faced with the\nprospect of a trade development in\nYorkshire that will alter the face of\nthe countryside.\nWithin ten years' time 40,000 to\n50,000 additional colliers will be at\nwork in Yorkshire mines that have\nnot yet been opened, and at the lowest estimate this means an increase\nof 150,000 in population of the\nbroad-acred county. Though the\nprincipal development will take\nplace in the Doncaster district, the\nwhole country will be rapidly burrowed until a line of mines is in\nexistence, extending to the boundaries of the city of Hull itself.\nThough in many instances it will be\nnecessary to sink a shaft 1,000 yards\ndeep, the thickness of the seam and\nthe use of the most modern mining\nmachinery will enable the proprietors\nto successfully compete with all comers, and to guarantee good profits\nand dividends for tlie capital invested.\nWith a splendid railway system\ntapping the coalfield, and an enterprising port like Hull within easy\nreach, the prestige of Newcastle as a\ncoal centre may be seriously threatened; in fact, there are optimists\nwho prophecy that the saying, \"carrying coals to Newcastle,\" will not\nseem so ridiculous as it has done in\nyears gone by.\nSome of the coalpits in this district of Doncaster, started during the\npast few years, already hold the\nworld s record for out the weekly\noutput, and the visitor has the opportunity of examining tlie finest\nplant in tlie world.\nColliery workers not only of Yorkshire, but of all parts of England,\nand villages that are of an insani\ntary character, and we must remember that to pull down is only half\nof the solution.\" His grace dealt\nat length with the conditions existing in mining villages, and it cannot be gainsaid that unless some\nsane and satisfactory housing arrangements are made to cope with\nan influx of population attracted by\nthe opportunities of getting work in\nthe coalpits we shall have a shocking state of affairs brought into existence. In building bouses for the\nminer and his family it is to be\nhoped that more nouses\" and fewer \"dwellings\" will be designed,\nLand is cheap in the district, and\nthere is no reason to skimp the\nroom or to build long, dreary rows\nof depressing brick boxes with slate\nMils. The miner is naturally passionately fond of gardening.

NELSON,\nEditor.\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0'-S*t>*'\nFriday, August I, 1911.\nassurances be given until Prince Rupert has had a chance to be heard.\nThe speechs of those interested in\nthe move in Vancouver give no uncertainty as to the evident intention\nto get an advantage over this northern port. We reel satisfied that the\npremier of the province, having the\ninterests of the whole province at\nhear rather than any particular portion of ii, will carefully weigh the\ninterests of Prince Rupert before acting along the lines suggested, .ns\nattention should be drawn to the situation as early as possible.\nRAILWAY PROM VANCOUVER\nThe movement which has been\nstarted In Vancouver for a railway\nto the north is being taken up readily by the various cities of the south.\nThe promoters of the scheme, namely\nthe business interests of Vancouver,\nare now throwing aside all attempts\ntu conceal the real object of the\nmovement, which is to offset Prince\nRupert in securing the trade with the\ninterior.\nAt a recent meeting held in New\nWestminster, when the Vancouver\ndelegation met the business men ot\nthat city and urged joint action, F.\nCarter-Cotton, formerly a member of\nthe provincial government, devoted\nhimself in no small measure to showing that the country sought to be\nInvaded by a line of railway running\nnorth from Vancouver to the line of\nthe G. T. P. would bring the territory referred to closeer to the sea\nat Vancouver than at Prince Rupert.\n\"Unless something is done they\nwould not only lase any new markets, but they also stood to lose\nmarkets which already had, such as\nCariboo. Ashcroft might not always\nattract the Cariboo business,\" Mr.\nCotton is reported to have said.\nFurther, Mr. Cotton is reported to\nhave said: \"If people pressed the\nmatter on the government he thought\nthe government would see that it\n.vas a good business proposition.\"\nA. G. McCandless at the meeting\nstated that \"with the completion of\nthe G. T. P. the northern transcontinental line would capture of the\ntrade of Northern Q. C.\"\n\V. II. Malkin pointed out that\n\"between Fort George and Fort MacLeod there were 30,000,000 acres of\nwheat, lands. The grain from this\nterritory could be shipped out here\n(Vancouver and New Westminster)\nas a port open all the year round.\nThey would have to get the provincial government to guarantee\nbonds.\"\nWith a strong resolution, backed\nup by Boards of Trade and other\nbodies in the south, the provincial\ngovernment is being asked to guarantee the bonds of a line of railway to\ntap the northern areas referred to\nand draw the trade to the southern\nports. To Prince Rupert, this trade\nnaturally belongs, as we have before\nreferred. It is up to Prince Rupert\nto take the best steps possible to\noffset the move now made, it may\nbe urged that it is a selfish view\nto take of the situation hut it is\nequally selfish the way the south\nregards the situation. Prine-e Rupert's interests will not be taken care\nof it' an effort is nol made on behalf\nof the city tei protect Itself.\nThe elevators and warehouses\nwhich the members of the Vancouver Board of Trade depict as about\nto be erected as a result of the connection which they seek would be\nequally possible here if that connection Is not given the south at once\nbut is allowed to flow this way.\nTlie matter is something the Board\nof Trade here might well take steps\nto checkmate. If deenieden ecesary,\nthe provincial government might be\npetitioned in the matter and asked\nto look well to Prince Rupert's interests In tliis connection before undertaking anything along the line\nsuggested by the soutli. ir considered of sufficient urgency it might\nbe wise to send word to .Mayor Man-\nson, who Is now on his way soutli,\nasking liini to put in a preliminary\nprotest from the Board of Trade to\nPremier McBride and ask that no\nt News of the Province %\n*. .. -:\nPRIZE WINNING HERD\nNEW WESTMINSTER\u00E2\u0080\u0094Manitoba\nnewspapers and livestock journals\nreaching the coast during the past\nfew days record\u00E2\u0080\u0094inthelr eulogistic\nreferences to the stock ring display\nai the great Winnipeg exhibition\u00E2\u0080\u0094a\nveritable and complete triumph for\nthe blooded aristocrats from the\nmodel farm at the Coquitlani Retreat\nfor the Insane, which famous herd\nit is part of Dr. Young's well considered scheme to make of infinite\nvalue to provincial stock raisers in\nthe improvement of the standard of\ntheir herds. The herd at Regina, In\ncompetition with the very best herds\nof the American continent duplicated the record at Winnipeg.\nDEATH OF JIKS. FRASER\nQUESNEL\u00E2\u0080\u0094The news of the death\nof Mrs. J. A. Fraser in Vancouver\nhas caused the deepest regret beret.\nMr. Eraser, who left hurriedly for\nVancouver on receipt, of a telegram\ninforming him or her serious illness,\ndid not reach her bedside before\ndeath came, although he had made a\nvery fast trip. Death was due to\nheart failure. The deceased had been\ntroubled oftentimes with neuralgia of\nthe lining of the heart. More re-\ncently she had suffered especially\nfrom nervous trouble. Early in life\na severe fall from a street car had\nmade the prospect of her being able\nto walk again unlikely. Since then\nshe had had operations at different\ntimes; so that during the course of\nher life she had sufefred much. Mrs.\nEraser's maiden name was Ursula C.\nC. Smith. . She was born in Glasgow,\nScotland, and came to Cariboo in the\nearly nineties. She was at first engaged as governess at Cottonwood\nHouse. About sixteen years ago she\nbecame the wife of John A. Fraser,\nat. that time manager of the Reid\nestate.\nSPORTS\nCORINTHIANS COMING\nWhen that ocean greyhound, the\nEmpress of Britain, plows her majestic way across the Atlantic, and\ndocks at Quebec in the course of a\ncouple of week or so there will disembark that famous combination of\nassociation footballers, the London\nCorinthians, and cables tell us that\nthat it is one of tlie greatest aggregations of amateur footballers that\nhas ever left the shores of the tight\nlittle isle ayont the seas. A glance\nat the names of the players who\nwill make up the team certainly conveys this impression, for many renowned teams, both amateur and\nprofessional, have left the Motherland within recent years for foreign\nparts, but somehow or other Canada seems to have been sidetracked\nand hasn't got her proper share of\ntlie good things along this line, notwithstanding tlie fact that Canada is\nBritain's nearest possession, and that\nthere are probably more Old Country\npeople in the Dominion than all the\noilier colonies combined. Be that\nas it may, however, the anticipation\nnf the tans or the past six months\nWill soon be a realization.\nThe tour ot the Corinthians will\nbegin at Toronto on August 5 with\na game with the newly tormed Big\nFour League at the Island Stadium,\nToronto and before their itinerary\nis completed the tourists will have\ntraveled some 10,000 miles in Canada and the United States, and played\nsomething like twenty games in a\nlittle over two months.\nThe Corinthians second game will\nbe against Toronto and District\nLeague on that city civic holiday,\nAugust 7, and on the following Wednesday, August 9, the amateurs are\ndue in Hamilton. From Hamilton\nthe team will go to Montreal, Co-\nhalt, Fort William, Winnipeg, Regina, Saskatoon, Prince Albert, Edmonton, Calgary, Vancouver, Victoria Fernie, Chicago, Philadelphia,\nNewark, New York, Fall River, etc.\nIn Cobalt and Fort William public\nholidays have been declared in honor\nof the visitors, and other western\ncities are following suit. They are\ndue In Vancouver the latter part of\nAugust. The Corinthians toured\nSpain this spring, tlie amateurs putting on cricket scores against the\nSpaniards.\nThe Corinthian team will consist\nof such renowned athletes as: G. G.\nNewman, goal; F. N. Tuff and I. E.\nSnell of Oxford, backs; W. T. Tim-\nmins (English International), H. G,\nHowell Jones, M. Morgan Owen\nI Wels Internationals), R. G. Thompson, P. A. Sergeant, R. M. Weeks\nand R. R. Bradell (the famous sprinter), half backs; S. H. Day (English International), C. E. Brisley,\nI). O. Corbett, Al Corbett and G. C.\nVassall (all English Internationals).\nR. C. Maniples, H. C.

B. de Laitte, tbe prominent\nFrench inventor, departed from Vancouver a few days ago for Calgary,\nen route to Chicago, where he will\ninspect his factory at that place before proceeding lo France. Mr. de\nLaitte will spend but little time in\nFrance, for he expects to visit his\nvarious European factories before\nsailing for Australia, during the Iat.-\nter part of the year. He will return\nto Vancouver from the Antipodes in\nMarch, 1912, by which time he expects his local factory will have been\ncompleted and in working order. \"I\nam more than satisfied with the success with which 1 met while in British Columbia, and I feel certain that\nmy determination to make this my\nmanufacturing centre for Canada will\nprove a wise choice. British Columbia is the busiest province of thet\nDominion.'\nThe idea of Mr. de Laitte's invention Is the automatic production of\ngas; in other words, whereas heretofore municipalities had to maintain\ncostly gas plants, or pay expensive\ntributes to operating companies,\ncommunities will now be enabled to\ninstall a gas-producing apparatus\nthat will work automatically and\nwhich will require no attendants to\nlock after it.\nWliere now the average charge for\ngas service is $1.36 per 1,00 cubic\nfeet, the de Laitte gas machine will\nproduce the same amount for 50\ncents. A house of twenty rooms,\nburning lights In every room, and\nmaintaining radiators In every room,\nbesides running an engine, a milk\ncleaner, an Ice making machine, a\nvacuum cleaner, a butter making\nmachine, cooking stove, laundry, two\nincubators, and five flatirons, will\nnot require more than thirteen cents'\nworth of gas per hour to operate all\nthe enumerated necessities and devices, and proprotionately less If all\nare not working at the same time.\n\"A small town may be able to in\nstall a perfect gas lighting system\nof my design for $.1,000 which will\nequal in efficiency and size the usual\n$100,000 plant of the carbonating\ngas companies,\" explained Mr. det\nLaitte.\n\"i came here for the express purpose of looking over the field and\nbefore making any definite arrangements, and 1 am so satisfied with\nlocal conditions, as I find them, that\n1 have decided upon Vancouver as\nmy manufacturing centre for Canada\nI have already a large plant In Chicago and a financial syndicate in\nMontreal, besides factories in Gere-\nmany, France, London, and Sydney,\nN. S. W., and while I have as yet\nno plant in this city 1 have already\nrush orders for 260 gas machines\nfor Vancouver, besides .numerous\nother orders for places in Alberta.\nCanada is a place which every manufacturer of a commodity must reckon with, and Vancouver is, in my\nopinion, the best field for the establishment of a manufacturing plant.\"\nSTOCK WIDELY HELD\nWliere the Shareholders of Canadian\nRailway Companies Arc\nLocated\nIhe stock of the Canadian Pacific\nRailroad Company Is probably the\nmost widely held of any American\nload, with the exception of the Pennsylvania, which recently reported\n64,SOU shareholders. There Is considerable difficulty In learning the\nnumber of shareholders of the Canadian railroads and in what countries\nthe stock is held. Sir Thomas\nShaughnessy has stated that the total number of Canadian. Pai'ific\nshareholders is about 24,000, the\nnumber of Canadian holders being\nf;,500. Nearly all the 4 per cent\npreference stock is held in Great\nBritain. Of the common .stock,\nholders in Great Britain have approximately 65 per cent, 15 per cent\nbeing held on the Continent, while\nthe remaining 20 per cent Is divided\nevenly between Canada and the United States.\nGrand Trunk shares are held by\n54,200 persons, against 52,900 a year\nago. This puts the Grand Trunk second only to the Pennsylvania Railroad, which has 64,869 shareholders.\nThe Grand Trunk has \u00C2\u00A322,474,992\ncommon and \u00C2\u00A323,173,632 preferred,\nnnd, as Is well known, Ihe shares\nare almost eclusivexly held in England.\nCharles M. Hays, president of the\nGrand Trunk, states that from 75\nto 90 per cent of that road's shareholders are residents in Great Britain. Ninety^eight per cent of the securities of the Canadian Northern\nRailway are held in the United Kingdom.\nMr. Brunner, of the Brunner banking house, Brussels, twenty-five years\nago first interested Belgian capital\nin Canada in the shape of Investments in Canadian Pacific Railroad\nstock. At that time, as he says, he\nexperienced great difficulty in convincing his countrymen that the Dominion was more than a wild stretch\nof ice and snow and the Canadian\nPacific something more than a fantasy. In those days Canadian Pacific Railroad was selling at 58. Belgian investors, therefore, have no\nreason to regret their confidence in\nthis Canadian enterprise. Mr. Brun-\nner's clients have invested several\nmillions of dollars in other Canadian-\nowned securities, more especially Sao\nPaulo, Rio, and Mexican railroads.\nGerman capital has become interested to a small extent in the Canadian Northern enterprise, and is\nlikely to become further interested\nIn the near future.\nPROMISE OF OIL\nBorings on West Coast of Graham Island\nIndicate That Success Wili\nFollow Work.\nWeather Conditions About Skidegate\nIs All That Could Be\nWished For\nSkidegate, Aug. 2. \u00E2\u0080\u0094 Mr. Giling-\nliani, road superintendent, and his\nson lately arrived from Masset, having made tlie trip over the new sections of road being constructed.

The necessity for\ngetting the larger part of the crop\nmoved into the consuming centres\nbefore the close of navigation is\npretty fully realized. This is the\nprincipal work that keeps three\ntranscontinental railways busy in the\nautum.i.\nThe Canadian banking system has\nbeen specially designed to meet such\na conditions as will [shortly manifest\n'.' eel'. Tiie right ol note issue equal\neu tlie paid-up capital is accorded\nthe chartered banks without any requirement of reserve, confidence being placed in each banking company's appreciation of the need of\nretaining absolute trust and keeping\n\u00C2\u00AB 11 within the liinils of safety.\nThere Is, indeed beyond this a provision for an emergency issue to be\nretired within a specified time should\ntlie. necessity for it occur,\nThe Dominion makes no charge for\nIhis privilege of note issue further\nthan the requirement that a large\nproportion of hank reserves be held\nin Dominion legal tender redeemable\nnotes. When the west makes a very\ngreat demand for its crop movements\nii may mean withdrawal hy the\nbanks of a considerable amount of\naccommodation from the ordinary\ntrade channels. Only once, In the\nyear 1906, a great crop year, was\nthere any difficulty In meeting' the\ne'illation, it is rem inhered that in\nthat year men of standing with per-\nt'eetly sound contracts even from\nschool boards and municipalities were\nobliged in throw thein up through\nfailure to get ihe banking accommodation they required.\nSince that year Canada has grown,\nthe west has grown, and the banks\nhave grown. Let us glance at the\nchanged situation.\nIn the Canadian West there are\n357,000,000 acres of land known to\nbe capable of producing wheat and\nother cereals. Five years ago less\nthan 5,000,000 acres had been sown\nwith wheat, and the total cultivated\nland for all purposes did not exceed\n10,000,000 acres. This season of\n1911, 10,200,000 acres have been\nsowii with wheat 4,078,000 with\noats, 1,150,000 with barley, and\n751,822 acres with flax \u00E2\u0080\u0094 a total in\ngrain crops alone of 16,779,822\nacres; the acreage in roots and cultivated grasses is 203,491 acres\u00E2\u0080\u0094a\ngrand total under cultivation of 17,-\n043,317 acres.\nThe acreage under cultivation has\ntherefore increased rapidly, more especially in view of the sparse population; but comparison should be\nmade With the land still to be cultivated\u00E2\u0080\u0094nearly 340,000,000 acres.\n.Notwithstanding this small area\nof cultivated wheat land, in comparison with the possible whole, the\nwheat crop of tlie Canadian Wesl. Is\nadmitted to be one of the leading\nfactors in tho world's markets for\nbreakstuffs. It is the best hard\nspring wheal in tbe world and there-\nline the most valuable for mixing\nwith the Inferior wheats, The presenl season Is one of greal promise,\nand, If fulfilled, the Canadian West\nwith have for shipment oul of the\ncountry, it is claimed, ut least 160,-\n ,000 bushels of wheat, besides\n15,0011,1)11(1 bushels ul' oats, 12,200,-\n000 bushels or barley, and 7,786,000\nbushels of flax. Five years ago the\nexportable surplus of wheal was 65,-\n849,940 bushels, while oats and flax\nwere not exported to any great extent.\nThe value of the wheat crop five\nyears ago was $67,711,299; for 1910\nit was approximately $91,350,-000\n1 final returns are not yet In). At\nthe price of October wheat on .lune\n15 the crop now growing, if reaped\nunder favorable conditions, will represent a value of $176,500,000, that\nis, 200,000,000 bushels at SS 1-4\ncents. For the handling of the wheat\ncrop millions of dollars are annually\ndistributed to country branches of\nthe great chartered banks, which\nform a complete network over the\nthree wheat producing provinces.\nTo store and move the wheat crop\nin the west is a gigantic task, and\ninvolves an enormous amount of capital. It is estimated that at least\n00 per cent of the crop should be\nmoved to the eastern terminals and\nseaboard before inland navigation\ncloses for the year. Five years ago\nit required 47,000 cars to move this\nproportion; this year it is estimated\nthat 145,084 cars will be required,\nand niat each car will travel an average of 75U miles after it is loaded\nbefore it reaches the head of the\nGreat Lakes. These figures give\nsome idea of the investment of the\nrailways in rolling stock for the\nmovement of wheat alone.\nThere are 1,870 elevators in the\nprairie provinces, with a total storage capacity of 59,227,300 bushels,\nrepresenting an investment of $15,-\n991,371 for buildings alone. At the\nhead of tho lakes there is a storage\ncapacity of 25,700,400 bushels,\nwhich cost $9,196,140 to erect. The\ninvestment, therefore, for interior\nand lake terminal storage is $25,-\n187,511. To this must he added the\ncostly equipment at Montreal where\nthere is 3,000,000 bushels of storage capacity and five miles of conveyor belts, making il possible to\nload fourteen vessels without their\nmoving from their original berths.\nThe growing or wheat In the\nprairie provinces has not been without, its drawbacks, but in I lie thlrty-\nelglit years it lias been carried on,\nit may be remembered with comfort,\nileal there' has never been a tolal\nfailure of crop, There are elements\nni' chance In wheat growing as there\nare iii every oilier business, but Ihe\nfarmer who has cultivated faithfully,\nsown carefully, reaped diligently;\nlias never lacked bread and seed and\nsomething for profit. In the grain\nbolt, which is, roughly, 850 miles\nlong and 450 to 500 miles wide, It\nis not possible to hope for Ideal conditions over the entire area every\nyear, but no wheat growing country\nIn the world has a finer record for\nuniform production than the Canadian West.\nIt will be seen the situation presents certain features of a more stupendous character than have ever\nbeen faced before. There Is no reason to doubt that the banks which\nhave likewise developed will be able\nto serve the west and the east efficiently In a time of abnormal pressure when the pressure means prosperity. The institutions are in the\nhands of men of ripe experience and\nsound judgment, who realize the re\nsponsibility and importance of their\npart in sustaining tne country's commerce and industry.\nROCHER DE BOULE\nProperty on This Mountain in Hazelton District Gives Good\nPromise\nSince the story appeared the early\npart of last September about the big\nstrike made on Rocher de Boule by\nMessrs. Sergeant and Munro, the\nproperty has been turned over to\nMessrs Trimble and Pemberton, says\nthe Omineca Herald. At that time\nlittle was known of the property, but\nit was enough to satisfy the new\nowners that it was worth going after.\nThis spring, or about six or seven\nweeks ago, Messrs. Trimble nnd\nPemberton took men out and work\nhas been going on steadily. A new\ntrail cuts the distance from the Skeena to the property by half has been\ncut over the ridge and through the\ndivide down into the camp. This\nis about five miles from the sawmill. In addition, a great deal of\nwork has been done towards uncovering and proving the mineral. A\ngang of eleven men are employed.\nThey have uncovered an Sffoot\nvein for a distance of 500 feet, while\nthe lead can be traced for a distance\nof a mile and a half. The big thing\nin I lie camp is blue copper which will\nrun over 30 per cent pure copper.\nAs yet no assays have been made\nthis spring but this week Mr. Pemberton has been gathering samples\nfrom every place where work has\nbeen done and will have them assayed. The result will be watched\nwith keen interest. Last fall one\nsample that was asayed gave returns\nof $97 in gold, silver and copper.\nThis Is one of the youngest camps\nin the district but there is a great\namount of work being done and before the season is over Rocher det\nBoule will be attracting as much, if\nnot more attention than any other\ncamp. As one well known authority\nremarked when he visited the property: \"This is no ordinary find; It\nis something extrordinary.\"\nWork will proceed on these claims\nall summer. The owners are getting\nIn 1,600 pounds of supples from below and two tons from Hazelton to\nkeep them going until September.\nKITCHENER IX EGYPT\nJob Printing of all kinds neatly\nexecuted at the Journal Office.\nThe Mail and Empire thinks that\nLord Kitchener's appointment to\nEgypt foreshadows a change of policy and discusses the matter as follows: Under the pro-consulship of\nSir Eldon Gorst, the Nationalist\nmovement made headway, although\nin the last year or so of his administration Sir Eldon seemed to abandon\nhis earlier academic Liberal theories,\nand reverted more to those of his\ngreat predecessor, Lord Cromer. His\nlast report was frank In his statement of opinion that the Egyptians\nare unfit for self-government. It\nwas upon this fundamental idea that\nmuch of Lord Cromer's success was\nlaid; and it is upon this idea, too\nthat Lord Kitchener's policy will be\nbased. But whatever convictions\nLord Kitchener may have on the\nEgyptian question, it is certain that\nthey are not mere theories, but are\nthe result of long experience of the\nEgyptian people. It will be recalled\nthat it was In Egypt that Lord Kitchener, then an obscrue junior officer,\ngot his first chance, and that it was\nhis knowledge of the people and of\n\u00E2\u0099\u00A6he country that fitted him lo take\nadvantage of it. Since that day he\nhas never looked back,, but .has\ninarched forward steadily from one\nresponsibility to another, until the\ngreat wheel of events brings him\nagain to tlie country wliere his career began. In those years in India\nand South Africa lie did not forget\nEgypt, nor have the Egyptians forgotten him. In Ihe army tlie name\nof the great Sirdar Is still toasted\nand his portrait saluted. The troops\nremember the man who made them\ntbe formidable fighting machines\nthey now are. The whole people recall his striking proof of interest in\nthe country that found expression in\nthe Gordon Memorial University at\nKhartoum. He returns to them, not\nas a stranger, but as an old friend,\nas the one living Englishman whose\nname is known from Khartoum to\nCairo, and is as familiar to the fellaheen as to the crowds in London.\nLord Kitchenr's knowledge of Egypt\nand Egypt's knowledge of Lord\nKitchener are in themselves reasons\nenough for his selection as successor\nto Sir Eldon Gorst. There Is another strong reason. Lord Kitchener\nIs probably the greatest military man\nIn the Empire, and there are indications that It Is In Northern Africa\nthat our chief military authority\nshould be. The Near Eastern ques\ntion is today the gravest promblem\nin foreign politics. The position of\nEngland's close friend. France, Is\nnone too secure in Morocco, and for\nyears to come the status of the European powers along the Mediterranean will be unsettled. In Egypt\nitsself the Nationalists constitute a\nmenace, unless sternly dealt with,\nwhile their friends in England among\nthe Socialists represent an even\nstronger danger to Bgyption peace.\nIn the settling of all the problems\nEngland will be well represented by\nLord Kitchener, who is not the man\nto have accepted the post of agent-\ngeneral unless he had a free hand.\nHhis appointment is a credit to the\nBritisii government.\nTOURIST ...l'AGK\nThe McMillan Transfer Company\nat Stewart has commenced running\na four-in-hand stage from the wharf\nto the concentrator in connection\nwith the arrival of the urand Trunk\nPacific boats on Thursday and Sunday. As this steamship company Is\ndeveloping the tourist traffic it has\nbeen felt that many visitors would\ntake advantage of a trip through the\ntown and up the Bear River valley\nIf a proper conveyance was to be had.\nTo meet the demand tho transfer\ncompany has put on its stage. Tlie\nroute from the wharf is down the\napproach to Fifth, along this street\nto Columbia, tlience nortli to Ninth\npast, the general hospital to the railway depot and on out to Glacier\nCreek, making the turn at the concentrator, where visitors, through the\ncourtesy of Manager W. .1.

F *\u00C2\u00BB\nn\nFriday, August 4, 1911.\nPRINCE RUPERT JOURNAL\nIr****************************************************\n* *\nI Outlook for Reciprocity f\n* *\n*****************************************************\nThe government professes to welcome the prospects of an early election, says ah Ottawa letter. They\nclaim that the force of the Bourassa\nwave has spent itself in the province\nof Quebec and tat Laurier will again\nreceive from that province a big majority. In deed, the hopes of the\ngovernment are centred upon Quebec\nand It Is practically admitted that\noutside of that province the Conservatives will have a fair majority.\nThe final result of the next election\nwill largely depend on what gains\nthe Conservatives can make in the\nprovince of Ontario. Ontario has\nbeen appropriately called the workshop of e.he Dominion and with the\n\"white coal\" of Niagara adeiud to\nher other sources of power this province bids fair to become one of the\ngreat manufacturing centres of the\nworld. Nearly every city and town in\nOntario has been built up especially\nduring the last ten years by the\nfoundation and increase of manufacturing enterprises. The great American manufacturers have invested\nhundreds of millions of dollars in\nbranch plants throughout the province. Hence there is every reason\nto believe that Ontario will vote\noverwhelmingly for a continuance of\nthe national policy.\nNot only have the Ontario towns\nand cities benefitted but the farmers have prospered amazingly by the\nlargely increased purchasing power\nof their home market. Few Ontario\nfarmers have far to go In order to\nfind a profitable and generous market for their products. Along the\nborder many agricultural products\nare higher in, Canada than they are\nIn the United States. Upon the reciprocity issue alone there is no doubt\nbut that the people of Ontario are\noverwhelmingly in favor of the Conservative party.\nOpposition to reciprocity, however,\nwill not be the only factor against\nthe government in the approaching\ncampaign. The government would\nbe glad, indeed, to have its past record forgotten and to have a mere\nplebiscite upon some question like\nreciprocity, concerning which honest and patriotic men may differ in\nopinion. Any issue, indeed, would\nbe welcomed by the prime minister\nand his followers upon which it is\npossible to divide honest men.\nThe statement is often heard that\nno government can ever be put out\nof power because of graft or corruption. It is true that in 1908 the\nLaurier government managed to hold\noffice although scandalous maladministration of the public funds had\nbeen proved against it. But it must\nalso be remembered that Sir Wilfrid\nLaurier in 1908 made a pathetic appeal to the people. He said in effect\nthat he was an old man on the brink'\nof the grave and that he did not like\nto have his [>ublic career ended by\na popular verdict to the effect that\nhis government had been a corrupt\none. He said he would only ask one\nmore term and ask that for the purpose of cleansing the public service.\nHis prayer was answered but no one\nhas yet heard of the promised house\ncleaning. No corrupt official has\nbeen brought to justice and no stolen\nmoney has been returned to the treasury. The prime minister has apparently made no effort to Implement\nhis promise. It is marvelous that he\nshould be so audacious as to appeal\nfor another term when he has not\nkept a single pledge on the strength\nof which he obtained his present term\nof office. It is no wonder that he\nwants to talk reciprocity. If he has\nnothing else to talk\" about he would\ntalk about the weather rather than\ndiscuss his speeches and promises of\n1908.\nIt is curious to observe how little\nrespect Sir Wilfrid Laurier has for\nthe Intelligence of the people of Can-\nada. He seems to believe, perhaps\nhe has reason for believing, that the\nCanadian people like to be humbugged, P. T. Barnum said the American people wanted to be humbugged\nand he certainly catered to the popular taste in this regard. One year\nhe would whitewash an elephant and\nadvertise it as a white elephant from\nSlam. The next year he would produce a woolly horse. Every year\nthere was some startling novelty\nwhich attracted the people and If anybody complained of being fooled he\nwas laughed at for his pains. Peo-\nule knew Barnum was going to fool\nthem but they turned out every summer to see the woolly horse, the wild\nman, the three legged calf or the\nbearded lady as the case might be.\nSir Wilfrid has been emulating the\nexample of the great showman. Jie\nhas some national ability to begin\nwith, being a skillful tightrope performer and a clean skater. But he\ndoes not rely entirely upon his own\nability; he continually\npliant or woolly horse variety. One\nyear he will come back from England and say that he has just saved\nCanada from being swallowed alive\nby the Britisii lion. This announcement made on landing elicits great\napplause. The people suppose there\nmust be something in it because the\nprime minister has been in England\nand they have not been there. After\na little inquiry and investigation,\nhowever, they find that the whole\nstory Is a fake, that no Britisii lion\nor any other Hon was trying to swallow Canada or even to fake a bite\nout of her and they na.'-rally make\nup their minds tha': th jy have been\nhumbugged. The ne:;* year, however, Laurier's tliree ringed circus\nstarts out again but this time there\nis another attraction. Nothing!, is\nsaid about the British lion but the\npeople are told that Canada has made\na treaty with France, the first and\nonly one of the kind, and the great\nbenefits are to fall upon the Canadian people.\nWell, the people get the treaty after a while and sure enough they\nfind wheat, oats, barley, horses, cows\nand other farm products are admitted Into France subject only to the\nminimum duty. They are highly delighted and commence to think what\nthey are going to do with all the\nmoney they are to get from France.\nBut on further examination they find\nthat on all these products the French\nmaximum and minimum are really\nthe same, probably about 250 per\ncent, 'lnis time they are sure they\nwill never again get fooled by Laurier but the next year it is the United\nStates or some other woolly horse\nwhich looks alright on the billcards\nbut is a transparent fake when viewed near at hanu.\nOne reason for bringing on reciprocity was to get rid of the naval\nissue. The navy made the government unpopular in Quebec and ridiculous in the English speaking provinces. It is a great navy but It will\nbe a greater one before we are done\nwith it. Those who know such matters must be amused at the government's estimate of $15,000,000 as the\ncost of an entire navy. Not long ago\nNew Zealand presented what was\ncalled her Dreadnought to the Imperial navy. It is in fact an armored\ncruiser of the first class and not\na Dreadnought at all. But this one\nship cost nearly $9,000,000. We are\ntold that here six armored vessels\ncan be built and a flotilla of\nsmaller vessels at an aggregate\ncost of $15 00,000. An efficient navy\nfor Canada could not cost less than\n$150,000,000. Either the govern\nment does not Intend to make our\nCanadian navy of any use to the\nImperial fleet or it is deceiving the\npeople by talking about a $15,000,-\n000 navy.\nSir Wilfrid at the Imperial Conference caused it to be understood\nthat on his motion Canada had been\ngiven complete control of her navy\nto the exclusion of the British admiralty. The fact is that the British government had this resolution\npassed because the Britisii naval authorities did not want to be lumbered\nup with or become responsible for\nthe junk that might be turned out\nby the Sorel shipyard or contractors\nin favor with the marine and navy\ndepartment. At least one British\nfirm was represented to have stated\nthat there was no doing business\nwith the Canadian government unless\nbig funds were contributed to the\nLiberal party campaign fund.\nBRINGS GERMAN GOLD\nfinanciers of Fatlierlaiiil Send\n$5,000,000 to This Province\nThrough Mr. Alvensleben\nWith $5,000,000 of German capital secured for British Columbia, and\nespecially Vancouver enterprises, to\nhis credit, Mr. Alvo von Alvensleben\nis again at his desk in the Pacific\nBuilding, after a flying trip to Berlin, Paris and London, where he went\nin the role of the modern Argonaut\nin quest for Old World gold, says the\nNews-Advertiser.\n\"German capital Is most enthusiastic over Canadian investments,\"\nsaid Mr. von Alvensleben In discussing the European financial situation\nas found by him during his four\nmonths' trip abroad. \"The financiers of the Fatherland, more than\nany others, rea\"ze with praiseworthy\nforesight the great significance and\nrelative Influence to British Columbia of the Panama Canal, and they\nare therefore quite willing to send\ntheir money to a place In which It\nwill find n safe and highly profitable\nplace for Investment.

The following\nshows the estimated maximum cost\nto some of these cities according to\nthe last report of the commission:\nH.P Est.\nCity\u00E2\u0080\u0094 Applied for Max. Cost\nToronto 10,000 $25.20\nLondon 5,000 35.18\nGtielph 2,500 36.10\nStratford .... 1,000 43.90\nWoodstock . . . 1,200 34.27\nBerlin 1,000 36.10\nand several others at similar rates.\nIn comparison to these prices, the\nschedule submitted by the Tsimpsean\ncompany seems reasonable enough.\nOther rates charged are:\nFort William\u00E2\u0080\u0094Lighting,. 7%c;\npower, $25 per H.P. per year.\nPort Arthur\u00E2\u0080\u0094Lighting, 6 to 10c.\nSault Ste. Marie\u00E2\u0080\u0094Lighting, 5 to\n10c; power, $50.\nPeterboro\u00E2\u0080\u0094Lighting 10c; power,\n$20 to $40.\nKingston\u00E2\u0080\u0094Lighting 12 *J4c; power, Sc.\nThe price of $34 per H.P. year\nsubmitted by the company for a\nquantity ranging from 300 to 500\nH.P. figures out at 1 and 7-10c per\nK.W. hour, assuming a load factor\nof 23 per cent and also a 24 hour\nday, which is justifiable in the case\nof the city inasmuch as it will be\nsupplying small power customers\nduring the day and all the lighting\nduring the night. It will cost the\ncity to distribute about 3 55-100c\nmore, making the total cost delivered\nabout 5 25-100c per K. W. hour.\nTime of Contract\n' The next point which the committee considered was the length of\ntime which the company set forth for\nthe proposed agreement. We may\nbe obliged to pay more for power in\nthe future if a reasonable price is\nnot fixed upon from the start with\nsome reliable company for a fairly\nlong term of years, since if an agreement is reached for only a short\ntime, there would be nothing to prevent a company from advancing its\nprices at the end of that time if it\nproved that this company had a cinch\non the hydro-electric power around\nPrince Rupert.\nWe expect within the next five or\nten years to see numerous Industries established here requiring\npower, and if it is true, and it probably is, that the Tsimpsean company\nhas nearly all the water power in this\nvicinity corralled, such concerns\nwould be in a bad position if only\na short term agreement were made,\nsince they would be in some cases\nprobably only just commencing to\nearn and could hardly avoid being\ncompelled to pay an increased price\nshould the power company so demand. They would probably much\nprefer a guaranteed reasonable rate\nfor a long term, for they would then\nknow upon what to depend. The\nlonger the agreement, the cheaper\nthe rates that may be reasonably e-x\npected.\nIn the tentative agreement set\nforth by the company, the city Is\nasked not only to purchase all power required for lighting throughout\nthe city, but also to purchase from\nthe company all electricity required\nby small consumers up to 5 H.P.\nNothing is said of amounts between\n5 and 10 H.P. This may, however,\nbo a clerical error. Further on in\nthe aforesaid tentative agreement,\nthe company states that it does not\nask for any exclusive rights, but If\nthe city agrees to the power clause\nmentioned above, exclusive rights are\npractically guaranteed the Tsimpsean\ncompany, since any electric company\nis largely dependent on small consumers.\nYour committee would recommend\nthat that part of the agreement referred to above, viz. that the city\npurchase from the Tsimpsean company all less than 5 H.P., be struck\nout, and it should be further agreed\nupon that the company may not\ncharge more than $45 per H.P. to\nany customer. And your committee\nalso recommends that the privilege\nbe reserved to the city of developing\nits own power.\nIn conclusion, your committee reports in favor of the proposition submitted by the company with qualifications as set forth above, but we\nregard it as highly necessary that\nbefore any agreement of this sort\nis entered into, the city should engage the services of a first class\nfranchise lawyer and a first class\nelectrical engineer to carefully go\nthrough the said agreement and\nmake their recommendations accordingly to the city council.\nFollowing the presentation of the\nreport, some discussion followed. Mr.\nBrutinel was present himself at the\nmeeting and was able to give information as to the objects which\nthe company had In view. The discussion was very free in character,\nMr. Brutinel answering all questions\nput to him by the members present.\nHe stated, in reply to a question put\nby the president, A. J. Morris, as\nto why certain advertisements were\ninserted in different papers that his\ncompany was not. directly responsible\nfor that. He had organized the\nPrince Rupert Hydro-Electric Company, which took over the holdings\nof the Tsimpsean company and also\nthe Continental company. While the\ncapital was available by those interested to carry out the work it was\ndeemed wise to put on sale a part\nof the stock. Certain brokers had,\nhe was sorry to say, advertised without the knowledge of the company,\nand inserted misstatements as to the\nfacts. As soon as his company's attention was called to it these were\nwithdrawn.\nMr. Brutinel also stated that his\ncompany was anxious to do business\non fair terms with the city. This\nwas a wise policy, he felt, by the\ncompany. He mentioned that negotiations were on with the city council, but as to the results reached\nhe could not yet say. He could say\nthat the negotiations had taken a\nline that was not anticipated by him\nwhen he made the original proposition to the city. How far they would\nsucceed in reaching a settlement he\ncould not say, but there was an evident, disposition to deal fairly with\nthe company. It would take a little\ntime yet before he could say definitely what the result would be. He\nwould prefer to submit to the directors the propositions before deciding\nthe matter.\nDealing with the importance of\nhaving the company engaged In business here, Mr. Brutinel explained\nthat with an expenditure such as his\ncompany had in view, reaching about\n$2,500,000, they could not afford to\nhave the investment He idle. If Industries did not come in to become\nconsumers of the power it would be\nnecessary for his company to interest themselves in lines which would\nlead to the Introduction of manufactures that would be larg users of\npowr. This would be done by his\ncompany and the city of Prince Rupert would reap the benefit.\nHis company had no desire to Interfere with the city In the development of its own power. They were\nwilling to furnish the city with power for civic use and for small consumers, leaving the company free to\nsupply the large consumers.\nOn motion of H. F. McRae, seconded by W. P. Lynch, the following\nresolution was carried.\n\"That inasmuch as the Tsimpsean\nLight and Power Company are asking for no exclusive rights in this\nagreement, thus leaving the city in\na position to develop their own power at any time they wish, that the\nBoard of Trade put itself on record\nin favor of this tentative agreement\nsubject to the minor changes recommended by the committee and that a\ncopy be sent to the city council.\"\n o\t\nWILL ALTER PLANS\nCanadian Northern Railway Will Change\nIts Proposed Route Along\nFraser River.\nThe\nIntention of Paralleling the\nP. It. Has Been Abandoned\nby the Company\nJhitlttle,3-lear.. .tn. . et et et etaii\nThe Canadian Northern Railway\nhas with drawn its application to the\nrailway commission for permission\nto parallel the C. P. R. tracks on\nthe C. P. R. right-of-way along the\nFraser River from Lytton to Cisco\nbridge, where the C. P. R. crosses\nthe river to its west bank. At the\nhearing held here last year the application was opposed by the C.P.R.\non the ground that the applicant had\nno status as it was a provincial corporation, the Canadian Northern Pacific Railway, and therefore had no\nauthority to expropriate C. P. R.\nright-of-way. It was also urged that\nthe building of a line lower down\nthe canyon would be a menace owing to the danger of the C. P. R. embankment becoming undermined.\nAn export report on the question\nof the feasibility of the proposition\nfrom an engineering standpoint was\nprepared at the instance of the two\nroads by C. F. Cartwright, C.E., for\nsubmission to the commission. Mr.\nCartwright made a report, which has\nbeen before the commission for many\nmonths.\nThe original plan submitted by the\nCanadian Northern, whose British\nColumbia section is being built under the provincial charter above referred to, involved the bridging of\nthe main Thompson River a few\nmiles above Lytton and the paralleling of the C. P. R. main line down\nthe canyon as far as Cisco bridge. In\nstead, it is now proposed to sbumit\nto the railway commission an amended plan whereby a line can be ullt\nwithout infringing on the C. P. R.\nright-of-way. It provides for onet\nbridge across the main Thompson\nRiver and two bridges across the\nFraser. The route as planned and\napproved by T. H. White, chief engineer, of the Canadian Northern,\nwill not be more than 1,000 feet\nlonger than the original plan to parallel the C. P. R. through the canyon. Briefly, it means the bridging\nof the main Thompson two miles\nabove Lytton. Then the line will\nfollow the Thompson to Lytton at\nthe confluence of the two rivers and\ndescend the east bank of the Fraser\nfor a distance of half a mile, when\nthe first crossing of the Fraser will\ntake place. Next the line will descend the opposite bank five miles,\ncrossing back to the other side of\nthe Fraser about 1,000 feet above\nthe C. P. R. bridge at Cisco. All\nthe way down the main Thompson\nriver and down the Fraser the Canadian Northern Railway line will run\n200 feet below the C. P. R. tracks\nwithout invading the C. P. R. right-\nof-way.\nThe amended plan, while providing for two bridges across the Fraser, where none were originally intended, will be a substitute for the\nproject of paralleling the C. P. R.\ntracks on C. P. R. right-of-way down\nto Cisco bridge.\nThe original survey established the\nfact that the line could not be built\nthrough the canyon without the expenditure of a large amount of money for concrete retaining walls for\nt.ee embankment. The second, or\nlower proposed bridge across the\nFraser at Cisco will be built at a\nhigher elevation than the existing\nC. P. R. bridge there, and willlike-\nly be of the cantilever type. The\nproposed bridge, half a mile below\nLytton, as well as the other proposed\nbridge across the main Thompson\nabove Lytton, will be an ordinary\nspan affair.\nAlthough the amended plan pro.\nvides for two additional bridges, the\ncost may not exceed the ependitxure\ninvolved in the original design as\nthe building of a roadbed on concrete\nsupports through the canyon and below the C. P. R. tracks means a very\nformidable undertaking.\nTo the Ladies of Prince Rupert\nDid you ever stop to think how much easier it would be for you,\nif at the end of each month, you could pay all household bills\nby check?
