C, FRIDAY JULY 21, 1911\nPrice, Five Cents.\nNO. 10\nWATER SITUATION\nInspection Made of the Source of Supply\nNow in Use by the\nCity\nCity Engineer Piloted Party About\nthe Watersheds to Demonstrate\nSituation\nAn investigation of tlie water situation was the object of a tour made\nWednesday afternoon by a party\nheaded by Mayor Manson and the\ncity engineer, Col. Davis, and which\nincluded Aid. Kerr, Aid. Douglas and\nthe representatives of the press. The\nline of march, which was anything\nbut an easy one, lay for the most\npart along parts of the city but seldom frequented by citizens or by\nvisitors. While the trip proved\nhighly educative in character it was\nunder the weather conditions prevailing anything but a light task. Excepting the fact that one of the aldermen got lost at a critical point\non tlie route, which was satisfactorily explained later in the day, the\ntramp was without special incident\nbut was accompanied by much puffing. As the water courses were followed quite closely frequently the\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0whole brigade was to be seen prostrate drinking In the most primitive\nway out of the streams.\nThe object in connection with the\ntrip was to acquaint the aldermen\nWith the exact situation along the\nline of the recommendations made\nsome few weeks ago by tlie engineer\nlooking to a supplementary water\nsupply. Unfortunately, the majority\nof the aldermen demurred at the trip\nand the full results were thus not\nattained.\nMorse Creek was visited, where\nwork is already commenced upon the\ndam which is to be built there to\nprovide an emergency reservoir. The\ndam is not far beyond the end of\nthe G. T. P, \"Y\" that runs up Morse\nCreek. Is was formerly used by the\ncompany in the early days of the\ncity and the frame work of the dam\nstill stands. It will not he a heavy\ntask to repair it and put it n shape\nto hold all the water that conies\ndown. In the townsite, none of which\nland is inhabited, there are 400\nacres, all draining into this area Independent of the streams that flow\nfrom the mountain side into the\ncreek.\nin case of a heavy rainfall there\nwould thus be a large volume of\nwater harnessed by the dam. At\nthe present time a steady stream is\nrunning down the course which Col.\nDavis estimates is more than suffi-\neient to counteract the evaporation\nthat may follow the darning up of\ntlie stream. A reservoir capable of\nholding over 8,000,000 gallons can\nbe cheaply provided hy the repair of\nthe dam.\nThe plans prepared by the engineer, which are endorsed by tlie\nmayor, provide for a pump heing installed below the dam near the end\nof the dump on Second avenue beyond Lynch's and the putting in of\na pipe up the embankment to connect\nwith the regular distribution system\nof the city. The short length of pipe\nused to connect the pump with the\ndistribution system would be capable\nof being used again, while all the\npipe laid on the streets beyond the\nconnection would be part of that\nused under the permanent water system to be installed, so that the extra\nexpense would not he great.\nFurthermore, if it became necessary to fill up this Morse Creek res-\nervolr and there was too much water\ngoing to waste- at Hays Creek Col.\nDavis has discovered a point on the\nmountain side where, by a very easy\nsystem of diversion, a large volume\nof water may be turned from Hays\nCreek into Morse Creek, the two\nwatersheds coming very close together..\nFollowing Morse Creek to the\npoint where it conies from the mountain side the party crossed lo the\nHays Creek watershed and followed\nthat stream down to the pumping\nstation. There is still a good volume\nof water In Hays Creek and In the\nafternoon the volume is such that\nthere Is quite a flow going to waste.\nDuring the night with cooler air on\nHie mountain the discharge is re-\npump is supplied alono.\nAn Inspection of the water supply,\nwhile sufficient to warrant the ex-\nerclse of due care, shows tliat the\nsituation Is not bad. The reservoirs\nmi the hill side arc kepi filleel and\nby using the pump on Hays Creek to\nforce water from the lower levels\nto keep the reservoirs replenished\nthe supply on the mountain side is\nbeing kept constant. Under normal\nconditions without any specially\nheavy demand caused by a large fire\nor an excessively long period of dry\nweather the supply should meet the\ndemand. With the emptying of the\nreservoirs to meet the demands of a\nfire, however, tlie citizen wont be\nleft dependent very largly upon the\namount pumped from Hays Creek.\nThe advantage of having a storage\nreservoir on Morse Creek would be\nthat this might be drawn upon in\ncase of a fire, thus saving the mountain supply for the ordinary domestic\nuse.\nAs it Is the situation seems to\nbe much better than it was a year\nago but there is no auxiliary supply\nto fall back upon in case of fire.\nMonday evening the ability of\nthose who took part in the great trek\nto convince their fe\"ow councilmen\nas to the necessity of action will he\ntested.\n o\t\nAN AVERAGE SEASON\nSalmon Taken on the Skeena Will\nbe as Good as\nFormerly.\nCatch So Far Is a Little Light Being\nOnly -15,000 Case's\u00E2\u0080\u0094Better\nProspects\nWhile the fishing season on the\nSkeena has not this year been a\nrecord breaker there is every indication, the cannery men say, that the\nclose of the fishing months will see\nan average catch taken in. The Skeeua has come to be looked upon as\nprobably the best salmon river in the\nprovince, taking it year after year.\nThere is a steady production and\nevery indication that its wealth in\ntliis respect will remain permanent.\nThe restrictions in the way of limiting the number of boats is intended\nto maintain the river as a salmon\nproducer, it being provided in this\nway that a good supply get to the\nspawning grounds. Doubtless some\nreadjustments could be made with\nadvantage in the assigning of boats\nbut the principle involved seems to\nbe a good one.\nUp to the present the catch has\nbeen about 45,000 cases. The take\nhas been distributed as follows\namong the canneries operating:\nCases\nCarlisle 4,200\nCassiar 4,400\nDominion 4,200\nSkeena River Commercial. 2,000\nCunninghams 2,000\nAlexandra 2,000\nBalmoral 0,000\nBritish America 3,000\nInverness 5,000\nOceanic 8,500\nClaxton 4,600\nNorth Pacific 3,600\nWith a change In the tides approaching the cannerymen look for\nbetter conditions for fishing within\nthe next few days and the consequent bringing up of the take to\nwhat it usually is.\nA CRISIS IN HOUSE\nIS EXPECTED SOON\nBACK FROM HOLIDAY\nFEWER LIVES LOST\nH.\nWilson of Royal Hank Has\nturned From a Visit in\nSouthern Cities\nSir Wilfrid Takes Initial Step Towards Forcing Reciprocity Through Parliament*-Will Make Quick\nAppeal to Country if His Will\nDoes Not Prevail.\nI Special to The Journal)\nOttawa, July 21.\u00E2\u0080\u0094News is in circulation that the forcing process is\nto be started by the Laurier'government. Sir Wilfrid Laurier has\ngiven notice that commencing Wednesday there will be a morning sitting of the House, meeting at 11\no'clock and sitting until 1 p. m.|\nadjourning for a couple of hours and\nmeeting again in the afternoon.\nThat the sittings will be also prolonged at night, or more likely to\nthe early hours of morning, goes\nwithout saying. Nobody seems now\nto doubt that the programme of the\ngovernment is to try out the avowed\nmention of the opposition to resist\nthe adoption of the reciprocity agree-\nmi'iit \"to the bitter end,\" and then\nthrow up the cards and call for a\nnew deal\u00E2\u0080\u0094in other wards, to ask for\na dissolution and bring on an election with all possible speed.\nCabinet Changes\nWith dissolution apparently so\nnear, conjecture is quickened as to\nthe possible cabinet changes. It is\naccepted as settled that Sir Wilfrid\nwill replace at least two of his war\nworn lieutenants with new men, to\nwit, the minister of militia and the\nminister of marine. E. H, Macdonald will succeed Sir Frederick Borden, who goes to London as high\ncommissioner, Dr. Belaud taking the\nQuebec portfolio now held by Mr.\nBrodeur. 11 is hinted that other new\nblood is likely to be brought In lie-\nfore an election, it is known that\nWalter Scott is anxious to enter the\nFederal cabinet. The Saskatchewan\npremier thinks he e-oulil wrest the\nconstituency from tlie opposition if\ngiven the prestige of the portfolio\nof the interior.\nTo gratify his ambition would\nmean the shelving of Mr. Oliver, and\nit is to be borne in mind in this\nconnection that the membership on\nthe board of railway commissioners,\nmade vacant by the death of Mr.\nGreenway, remains unfilled. One reporl has it that Mr. Scott may be\nprovided with a seat on the treasury\nbench by cutting down the cabinet\nrepresenatlon of Nova Scotia, but it\nis scarcely probable that the prime\nminister would make a move so unpopular as that would be down east.\nSEEK INFORMATION\nGranby Officials are Investigating North\nCountry Preparatory to Building Smelter.\nThey\nAre Well Satisfied With\nResults of the Work at\nMines\nthe\n(Special to The Journal)\nLondon, July 21.

The payroll is the largest in\nthe history of the city, it is said,\nand the number of men employed on\nthe day labor system is also near\nthe record if not up to it. With the\nfine weather, work on sewer laying,\nstreet construction, sidewalk laying\nand water works, together with many\nother odd jobs which are under way\nand require a large number of men,\nthe arrears of work, some of which\nhas been carried over from previous\nyears, are being rapidly overtaken.\nIn addition the paving work now\nunder way is calling for the employment of a large force of men. Never\nbefore in the history of the city has\nthe same activity prevailed. Sewer\nconstruction alone, including work\non surface drains, calls for the engagement of 2 5 gangs or approximately 500 men. Now that, the new\nsewer loan bylaw has been passed,\nappropriating ample funds for this\nwork, no time is being wasted in\npushing forward the project as fast\nas possible. About 100 workmen\nare engaged on sidewalk work, a\nlarge amount of which must be carried through this year.

Sulphuric ether had been\nfirst used as an anaesthetic in surgery in IS 16, and Dr. Simpson de-e\nii-rinini'd, as soon as a suitable case\noccurred to test Its efficacy in sub-\ndulng the pains of childbirth. lb\nfirst ii-e el it fur this purpose on January lit, 1847; ami although ii more\nthan answered bis expectations, lie\nthough! lhat sonic still better agent\nfor tin- suppression of sensation\nmlghl possibly he found, and determined to experiment upon hlmsell\nwiih a variety of volatile liquids supplied to bom by chemists. After many\ndisiippopintnients, a trial was made]\nof the techloride of formyle, which\nhad been suggested by Mr. Waldle\nof Liverpool, bul had been at first\nrejected as too heavy. On the night\nof November -I, 1S47, Dr. Simpson\nand his two assistants, Dr. George\nKeith and Dr. Matthews Duncan, sat\nat a table, each of them provided\nwith a tumbler Into which a portion\nof the teri'hloride had been poured\nand from which they inhaled as they\nconversed. They were all agreeably\nsurprised by the pleasurable sensations arising from the new agent;\nand their next conscousness was that\nof rinding themselves on the floor,\nmore or less under the table at which\nthey had been sitting, bin in other\nrespects uninjured. The Inhalation\nwas repeated many times that night,\nand the new drug was administered\nto Simpson's neice, .Miss Alice Petrie, I\nunder the supervision nf the three!\ndoctors who had themselves been the\nfirst subjects. The chemical name\nwas soon abandoned for the simpler\n\"chloroform,\" under which the preparation become universally known\nand used; and one of the greatest\ndiscoveries of modern times wai\npractically complete. Of the suffering which chloroform has prevented\nof tlie operations which it has.rendered possible, and of the lives which\nIt has saved it would now be super-\nflops to speak; but many stories are\ntulil uf the opposition which its erne\nploynieiit in childbirth al first e.-xcit-\ni'il, and which was supposed, by many\nof those who took part in it, lei be\nof a \u00E2\u0096\u00A0\u00E2\u0096\u00A0religious\" character, it wai\nnut until Queen Victoria hail consult\ni'il Silllpseili em the- slllejc.i, and hail\nherself taken chloroform during a\nconflmnent, thai tin- clamor nf a]\nsection nf tin' clergy began to give\nway before tin- teachings nf experience. Simpson's combative spirit\nplunged him iiiin the thickest of the\nfray, ami his varied knowledge rendered him ns much al home \u00C2\u00BBi'li Its\ntheological as with its physiological\naspects.\nSo long as anaethesia is tin- handmaid of surgery, Simpson's fame '\u00E2\u0096\u00A0annul die; but Ms experiments wit\nanaesthetics formed only a small pari\neif his professional and other actlvl\nties. He was essentially a man nf\ngenius in the Hue sense of the word:\na man whose mind threw out brilliant flashes of side light upon many\nBubjects, ami whose Intuitions in\nmany eases only just missed being\ngreat discoveries.

A. J. Balfour,\nspeaking at a dinner given in celebration of the birthday of tlie Right\nHon. Joseph Chamberlain, said that\neverything that happened in Canada\nand the Unee.ed States, everything\nwhich was happening at the present\ntime, and everything that was going\nto happen with regard to the great\ncomplex treaties, was going to cause\nincomparable trouble to the Britisii\nforeign office in the future, and the\nabrogation of those treaties, he affirmed, was going to make Britain's\nfree trade policy totally impossible.\n\"I don't say,\" asserted Mr. Balfour, \"that this was foreseen by Mr.\nChamberlain, as it could not possibly have been foreseen by anyone,\nbut if the policy what he advocated\nhad been adopted in time, and If we\nas a nation, had understood our opportunities and had realized that a\npolicy of imperial preference would\nhave saved us from these complication, and had taken those opportunities, then the difficulties which are\nundoubtedly coming upon us could\nnot have occurred.\"\nGreat Harm Done\n\"Whatever happens lo the reciprocity treaty in Canada,\" continued\nMr. Balfour, \"please remember that\nwhether the treaty passes the Canadian parliament or whether it fails\nto pass, the mischief lias been done,\nand our groat Dominion statesmen\nhave begun to realize how extraordinarily they are hampered, and how\nthey are going to be hampered in\nall their technical relations by what\nseems to be technical and unimportant things. The different interpretations the United States chooses to\nput on the most favored nations\nclause from that which all other nations put upon it; that simple formula\nindicates the complex international\ndifficulties of which we already see\nthe beginning and of which even the\nmost farsighted of us can by no\nmeans see the end.\nNot Too Late\n\"Even now,\" went on the speaker,\n\"if the reciprocity treaty were\nthrown out, and if the Mother Country saw some way to that kind of\nan arrangement, Mr. Chamberlain so\nso ardently desired, it would be possible to carry out to the full all the\nadvantages he foresaw and avoid all\nthe perils which beset any course rigidly and uncomprisingly directed\nupon the old line ot so-called orthodox free trade, an old system which\nmust go.\"\n o\t\nYOUR OWN COAT OF ARMS\nAnybody May Have Heraldic Emblems by Simply Picking It\nOut and Using It\nThose in this country who have\npretended to a knowledge of this sub-\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0 ject have generally treated it as\nthough armory were an exact and\nsettled science governed by certain\nfixed and rigid laws of world wide\napplication, says the Boston Transcript. The regulations these learned\nones have set forth as the guide in\nthese matters are found upon examination to be almost Invariably the\nrules of the present English College\nof Arms, with some additions for\nwhich no precedent can be found in\nEngland.\nAs the college has no shadow of\nauthority of any name or nature outside of England and Wales (not even\nin Scotland or Ireland or the colonies) and as the practice, custom\nand rules of Ihe officers of arms In\nother parts of the kingdom are radically different from the English heralds and us each of the Continental\nnations act independently, it becomes\nperfectly apparent that such a thing\nas a uniform system of heraldy can\nhave nn existence.\nArmorial bearings may be assumed\nti. e., created at pleasure) by the\nbearer or they may be the grant of\na monarch or great noble or of a herald acting under the monarch or\nnoble. In all countries arms were\nfirst assumed by the hearer; arms\nby grantj of king or lord came later,\nbut in most countries private assump\nHon was still permitted. This right\nexists in England, If for no other\nreason, because the power to prevent\nthe bearing of sucharms is not, as\nsome claim, vested in the crown, but\nin parliament. Britain is not an absolute monarchy.\nOnly one king ever presumed to\nassail this privilege of every Englishman, Henry VIII, \"an unlawful\nencroachment upon the rights of his\nsubjects.\" Some decrees of the\ncrown restricting the arms to be exhibited on certain occasions of military display have been distorted by\nthe advocates of the herald into the\nassertion of authority by the king to\ngovern the use of arms by the individual. These have no bearing\nupon the subject for there is no pretence to contro' the display of family\narms in private houses, in churches,\non seals or tombstones.\nIn Germany it is lawful for every\ncitizen to assume a coat-of-arms. It\nis, however, forbidden to assume a\ncoat-of-arms which is already in use\nhy another family. The same rule\nobtains in Austria.\nThere is not even this restriction\nin England. A man may take the\narms of the family upon which he\nIh inks lie is descended or he may\ndevise a new coat for himself, and\nupon the payment of a yearly two\nguinea fee to the inland revenue may\nbear those arms upon his carriage,\nupon his plate, his bookplate and his\nsignet ring.\nAnother man may go to the college and upon payment of the fees\nthere exacted obtain a grant of arms,\nyet he cannot make use of these arms\nin any of the ways mentioned until\nhe pays for the inland revenue license\nlike his neighbor.\nThe law makes no distinction between arms of assumption and the\ngrants of the college.\n o\t\nOPPOSED TO THE PACT\nFrench Investor Warns the Canadians\nAgainst the Reciprocity\nAgreement.\nThe Financial Situation Will Be Better if Country Remains as at\nPresent\nWith a line of Crusaders, marshals\nof France, embassadors and Knights\ncf Hie Golden Fleece on his ancestral\ntree looking with pride upon his\nspirit of ultra-modern enterprise and\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094perhaps a bit too democratic quest\nfor gold\u00E2\u0080\u0094Prince Francois de Croy,\naccompanied by the Princess de Croy,\nhas come to British Columbia from\nLa Belle France, to look in person\nafter the financial interests of his\nfamily in this country, which are reported to be valued in millions, and\nare still growing in scope and importance.\nPrince de Croy, whose family has\nbranches in Austria, Germany and\nBelgium, comes from the ancestral\nseat of the House of Croy in Northern Prance, where the Ville de Croy,\nnear Amiens, bears proudly his family's name. The Croys, while aristocratic in lineage, have long ago forsaken noble pastimes for more ple-\nbian\u00E2\u0080\u0094and more lucrative\u00E2\u0080\u0094pursuits\nuntil today their financial sagacity\nis on a par with their ancestors'\nachievements.\nPrince de Croy is also a captain in\nthe 147th Infantry regiment of his\ncountry, having been advised of his\npromotion from a lieutenancy since\nhis departure from France about two\nmonths ago.\n\"We arrived here from Paris via\nNew York, Chicago, St. Louis and\nSan Francisco on Sunday evening,\"\nsaid the prince, in speaking of his\nmovements to a newspaper man in\nthe city of Vancouver, \"and while we\nwere greatly impressed with the large\ncities of the States, we must confess than the western spirit of British Columbia reminds us more of\nthe Bohemian atmosphere of France\nthan any other part of the country\nwe have seen. Stanley Park Is very\nbeautiful and pleases us more than\nNew York's famous Central Park or\nSan Francisco's widely heralded Golden Gate Park. In fact, the princess\nand I are agreed in our preference\nlor British Columbia and Vancouver.\"\nTurning to the more serious subject ot finance, the prince, as representative of his family, being largely Interested in C. P. R. stocks and\nother listed on 'change, remarked\nthat French capital did not make any\nmistake in speculating on Canada's\nfuture. \"One can see lor oneself,\"\nremarked the prince cautiously,\n\"that Vancouver has more than doubled its population in 'ess than ten\nyears and there is too much money\ninvolved in the present prosperity\nof this city to permit of a serious\ndecline. I am here chiefly to look\nout for further outlets for investments of my family's capital and\nsince I have conversed with local\nmen of affairs and looked Into conditions a little myself, I am frank\nto admit that I shall recommend\nmore extensive participation in British Columbia's activities on the part\nof my family. .\n\"If you can only keep from forming a commercial alliance with the\nUnited States, such as a reciprocity\ntreaty between Canada and that\nAnheuser-Busch's\n3UDWII518\nt?mp\nBudweiser\nIts sale in many lands is due entirely and solely\nbecause of its surpassing Quality and Purity.

Great Britain\nis to day on the eve of a political\ncrisis and a change in government\nmight mean the long deferred establishment of an 'imperial preference,'\nwhich would naturally make Canada\na most important factor in the shaping of England's commercial policy,\nand it would therefore not be well,\nin my opinion, to do anything at this\nmoment which would re-act to the\ndetriment of the commercial plans\nin store for the entire British Empire. The guarantee of the entire\nBritisii Empire for commercial stability is, after all, more acceptable\nto foreign capital than that given\nby the Dominion alone, though I do\nnot mean to reflect upon the wisdom\nand foresight of the able statesmen\nguiding the affairs of Canada.\"\nYou Can Avoid This\nby sending your Clothes to the\nPIONEER STEAM LAUNDRY\nThere are Many\nReasons Why\n'\u00E2\u0096\u00A0\"'Mi IT IS TO YOUR INTEREST\nWe do first-class work and\nare careful with your Garments.

Leslie, Agent.\nDated 6th June, 1911. 6-26 Friday, July 21, 1911\nPRINCE RUPERT JOURNAL\nAEROPLANE COST\nSome Interesting Figures Relative to the\nLatest Method of Transportation.\nNavigation of the Air Is At Presenl\nil Very Expensive\nOperation\nThe extraordinary fascination\nwhich the conquest of the air exercises over the ordinary mind is\nshown by the interest with which\nevery development of the new science Is followed, says the Montreal\nHerald.\nThe word science is used advisedly\nas comprehending the whole field ot\naeronautics, but the average man\nwould probably be willing to admit\nthat It is the art of aeroplaning that\narouses his keenest interest and the\nreason of that is the startling swlt-\nness of the achievements made after\nman realized the character and quality of the motion needed lo enable\nhim to soar through aerial space with\nthe rapidity ol' a swallow.\nThe path through the air has in\na sense been strewn with wreckage\nand amongst il must of course be\nIncluded the fall ot a French ministry, which is directly traceable to\nthe killing of M. Berteaux, French\nminister of war, and the serious\ninjury ol' tlie prime minister, M.\nMonis, on the day of the Paris-Madrid race. It was M. Berteaux's successor at the war office, General\nGoiran, who was defeated in the\nchamber and who thus brought\nahout the break up of the ministry.\nNeither this nor the succession of\ndisasters, nor the frenzied exploitation ol horrors that have occurred\nare likely to have a discouraging effect on aerial enterprise. The dangerous side of aeroplaning has of\ncourse been greatly magnified and\nlittle account has been taken of the\npart that such ordinary human frailties as recklessness and carelessness\nhas played in the disasters.\nThus it happens that many otherwise well informed persons have\ncome to view aeronautical progress\nas the development of a desperate\nand dangerous folly. How far do\nfacts support this idea? In all the\nthousands upon thousands of miles\nthat have been flown since man first\ngot into the air with power driven\naeroplanes\u00E2\u0080\u0094the prototype of nature's\nmechanism, the bird, and the only\ntype of flying machine that has really\nflown\u00E2\u0080\u0094there have been, according\nto the most reliable statistics obtainable, no more than fifty-five fatal arcldencts with such machines.\nThis is an insignficant mortality\nlist compared with what the railways claimed when they had been\nin existence for a similar length of\ntime. Possibly the thought of an\nindividual tumbling from the skies\ngrips harder on the popular Imagination than the slaughter of a few\nscores in a factory fire, or a million\ndeaths from tuberculosis. Yet it is\nno worse than being killed as many\nare, by an automobile.\nSomething like a million miles is\nthe aggregate of all aeroplane flying\nto date, while it is conservatively\nestimated that present mileage totals\nabout 55,000 miles a week for the\nwhole world. Not less than 6,000\npersons have made passenger flights\nthat are matters of definite record,\nand fully thirty million dollars is\ninvested in tlie industry in Europe\nalone.\nAs nearly as can be calculated, the\ndeaths figure- out at about one- to\neach 60,0011 miles of flight, which\nstatistically and therefore unpreju-\ndieially considered, proves human\nflight to lie only about one-sixtielh\nas dangerous as it was two years\nago,\nNo doubt a greal deal more' would\nlie ace plishcil but fur the fae't\nthat aeroplaning is rather an expensive pastime.\nClifford It. Harmon, dean of the\nAmerican amateur aviators, and chief\nof the staff of the United Stale's\naero-nautical reserve, has recently\ngone into this question very thoroughly and his investigation will\nshow those who aspire to fame In\nthe empyrean blue just what they\nmay expect. An aeroplane can be\nas expensive a toy as a steam yacht.\nAlthough this question comes up almost daily, it is difficult to give\nmore than an approximate answer to\nit; for the aeroplane has not yet been\ncommercialized to the extent of the\nautomobile.\nThi sarticle does not profess to\nsettle the much mooted discussion\nas to whether a monoplane or a biplane or a multiplane Is the best\nkind of aircraft. Many incline to\nthe biplane, believing that It Is easier\nto operate and less treacherous. And\nyet no American monoplane has made\nany marked success. There Is one\nbeing manufactured In the United\nStates, the Walden-Dyott; but the\nBleriot people have an American\nagency.\nAbroad, the best known types perhaps are the Bleriot monoplane and\nthe Farman biplane. These may be\nbought at the factory for twenty-five\nhundred and five thousand dollars.\nThe duty on aeroplanes is very high,\nand in addition one must calculate,\nif he desires a foreign machine, on\nspending about five hundred dollars\nto bring it over the ocean. This\namount takes account of the services\nof a mechanician to put the machine\ntogether on this side. The imported\nmachines come pretty close to costing\nnot far from five thousand dollars\nfor the twenty-five hundred dollar\nmachine, and eight thousand for the\none listed at five thousand dollars.\nIt is possible that manufacturers\nput too high a price on aeroplanes;\nhut during the experimental stage\nautomobiles were much more expensive than they are these days\nwhen they have become so universally commercialized. Examine an aeroplane e'losely and you will see that\nit is made up of something more than\na wooden frame covered over with\ncloth and held together with wires.\n'I'\" fly, a aeroplane must be a perfectly constructed craft, combining\nIn itseir the best materials and the\nfinest workmanship in every detail.\nAn industrial exhibit recently held\nin New York City had for sale a\nnumber of aeroplanes ranging in\nprice from two thousand to seven\nthousand dollars. The attendants in\nthe booths explained that some of\nthese had already successfully flown.\nAlthough on the market only one\nyear, there are in this country today ten thousand machines in actual\nexistence or in course of construction.\nThere are schools in England, Germany and 1-ranee where you can be\ntaught to fly. At Grahame-White's\nschool, considered one of the best,\nyou many learn to operate a monoplane or a biplane for something\nover five hundred dollars. To master both types costs about seven\nhundred and fifty. Of course a nominal deposit is required to cover any\npassible damages to the machines.\nThe Wright brothers have two\ntwo schools, one at Dayton, Ohio,\nand the other, used mostly during\nthe winter, at Augusa, Georgia. The\ncharge Is $25 a lesson, and the instruction is given by one of the\nWright fliers. At the Curtiss school,\njust opened at San Diego, California,\n$500 is charged. Mr. Curtiss gives\nthe instruction himself, and this is\ncredited toward the purchase price\nof an aeroplane should the student\ndecide to purchase. This does not\nexhaust the list.\nThen there are quite a number of\n\"birdmen\" about the larger cities\nwho will teach you to fly for sums\nranging from $400 to $500. Most of\nthese, however, require a bond of\n$2,000 for protection against accidents to the aeroplane. Many aviators may be found who will take\nyou taxicahbing in the sky for $100\na trip.\nIf one desires to build his own\naeroplane he can do so. One can\nsecure the manufactured parts or\nmake them in your own factory, if\nyou happen to have one. One supply\nhouse advertises, \"Everything from\na turnbuckle to the machine itself.\"\nComplete sets of working drawings\nof all parts for a Bleriot XI (Cross-\nChannel type) are to be had for from\n$1.50 up to $10.\nHere are the prices of some of\ntlie parts: Propellor, from $40 24\n$121\"!; motor, from $1,200 to $4,500;\ngas tank, from $00 to $20; radiator,\nfrom $40 to $75; rubber wheels,\nfrom $7 to $15 each; spruce timber\nfor repairs, $7.1 per 1,000 feet; 400\nfeet special grade of piano wire tor\nconnections, 5 cents per foot; patent\nairtight cloth for covering, $liu);\n$600 to $1,500 for a \"hangar,\" which\nserves for the aeroplane the same\npurpose as a stables docs for a\nhorse; and $100 a week for working\ncrew tor repairs, it will be seen that\naeroplaning has possibilities for becoming a fairly expensive pastime,\n o\t\nl* * * * *.;..;. * * .J..;.,;. * * .;, .;.,;,,;..;..;,.;,,;,,;..;..;. ,;.\nJ THE YUKON'S NEEDS |\n-..\u00E2\u0080\u00A2:..:\u00E2\u0080\u00A2.:-.:. *\u00E2\u0080\u00A2:..> .> .:..;..>.:. * ** ***.> .:.*.:..\u00C2\u00BB..:..:.\nWhen Mr. Arthur Wilson, who Is\nwell known to many in this city,,\nwas lately sworn In at Dawson as\nthe future executive head of the Yukon government, he delivered an address which we reproduce from the\nDawson Daily News as follows:\nIt must appear to the most casual\nobserver that the hour In the history of this territory has now struck\nfor our people to get together and\ncomb'ne their forces In an earnest\nendeavor to revive the one Industry\nupon which depends the prosperity\nand well-being of each and all of us.\n1 am not referring to nor Including the big mining companies who\nare now operating within our territory.

The Yukon\ncouncil and local administration\nhave likewise in the past, though\nspasmodically, spent considerable\nsums of money in the way of bonuses\nto prospectors and steamboats, providing Diamond, Keystone and Empire mining drills, and at one time\noperating a quartz sampling mill, all\nol which has been done with the\nbest intention, hut the results of\nsuch expenditures have not met with\nthe success anticipated; owing to the\nfait, in my opinion, thai we have\nnot had expert control and direction of such expenditures. We need\nand must have attached to the permanent staff ill this territory, the\nbest mineralogist thai money can\nobtain. Our experience in tlie past\nhas taught us how essential it is\nlo have proper expert and scientific\ndirection in the matters pertaining\nto mines, it Is also absolutely necessary that uniform action and co-operative endeavor be the guiding principle between our prospectors, Individual miners, boards of trade, Yukon council and member of parliament In respect to:\n1.

Within the last two years Bcandals of\nthe most outrageous character of t>o-\nlltlcal corruption have come to light.\nand the present premier of Canada\nhas blocked any efforl of making an\nInquiry. Fifteen years ago there\nago there were no politicians who\nbecame wealthy through politics, and\ntoday more than one man has attained wealth by this method.\"\nBefore the Baptist convention in\nVancouver, t'. M. Woodworth littered\nthe above remark.\nHas political corruption increased\nin Canada? This question caused\nthe introduction of politics into the\nconference. A resolution, moved by\nRev. E. 11. Morgan and seconded by\nRev. Dr. Silencer, \"that tbe present\nincrease of political corruption, resulting in the control or undue influence or administrations by the vicious elements of society, calls tor\nthe most thoughtful investigation\nand vigorous action by the leaders of\nour church,\" was the source or many\nspeeches on government and municipal administration and as to what\nthe church should do to keep them\nclean.\nThe word \"increase\" embodied in\nthe resolution bothered the minds of\nsome of the members. They did not\nfeel that it was correct to insert this\nword and put themselves on record\nwithout something to back it up.\nThere were lengthy arguments pro\nand con, with the result that Mr.\nWoodworth seemingly endeavored to\nprove that by eliminating the objectionable word it would \"whitewash\"\nthe government and make all its\nofficials Immaculate in all transactions. Hence, he tried to explain\n\"where the money came from\" In\nconnection with the accumulated\nwealth of politicians being attached\nto the Laurier government.\nAs the scheduled introducer of the\nresolution was absent, Rev. Mr. Waring of Kltsilano spoke in support of\nit. He said it was absolutely necessary for Christians to enter politics if it was the intention to keep\nthem clean. \"Are we to face political\ncorruption?\" he asked. \"Politics\nought to be Christian and Christians\nought to be in politics. God is at\nthe helm of tilings but there is something tor us to do in the ship. Our\naim should not simply be to get\nrascals out of power but to see that\nthose who cannot stand the test\nshould not have power.\" He declared that ii was Idotic for Christians\ntc only be concerned in their business affairs and let those of the\nstate alone. \"We should select the\ncandidates and get our candidates\nelected,\" he went on. \"Too many\npeople think only of politics on election day. This is sad, tor we Chris-\ntions who look for clean administration should study the questions at\nissue and pass intelligent ballots. The\nlaw is enforced by the government,\nbut it is for us to see that it is en\nforced honestly and impartially. The\nlaw is like a cobweb\u00E2\u0080\u0094the small fly\nIs caughl and the big fly gets\nthrough.\"\nRev. R. H. West of Jackson Avenue Baptist Church seconded the\nresolution in lieu of Dr. Russell, who\nwas absent from the assembly. \"To\nuse a proverb, the love of money is\nthe root of all evil,\" he said, \"if\nwe have political corruption, behind\nit is lhat unmitigated scourge of selfishness. Tlie Socialists have a truth\nwith which all of us agree, and that\nis: \"the selfishness rampant in so-\nciety is tlie primary cause of political\ncorruption.' The nation stands for\njustice, liberty and humanity. No\ngovernment should be called Chrts-\nlinn If ii so unfortunately has graft\non its hands. The only possible way\nBin will be driven out is by the application of the Gospel of the Naz-\narene.\"\nC. S. Stephens of Suniiiierland did\nnol know what ihe convention was\n\"getting at\" by a resolution which\nbore the words, \"increase of political\ncorruption,\" if nothing of a specific\nnature was shown regarding the said\nIncrease, lie spoke of conditions in\nBritish Columbia during the past 20\nyears. lie was sure there was no\npolitical corruption in existence in\nthis province today. The civic govern ment, too, stands more today than\never tor righteousness.\nAi this point Mr. Woodworth objected to the \"whitewashing method, and referred to the grafting\npoliticians, lie wanted the resolution changed to read, \"members of\nthe church or the rank and file,\" and\nnot \"leaders.\" It was every person's\nduly to wipe away graft. \"In a\nthousand years from now the\nchurches will be rooted out by that\npolitical corruption which happened\nin the Roman Empire,\" he asserted.\nHe said that Vancouver had a \"high-\nwater mark\" political organization.\nOr the Conservatives in the city\naboutfi per cent participated in the\nlast election, while tbe Liberals had\nless than that number. And those\nwho go to the booth, tor the most\npart, know nothing about what they\nwere voting on, because they had not\ngiven the issues serious thought.\n\"The political leaders In this city\nhave pleaded and begged with Christian churches to take an Interest In\npolitics with little result,\" he said\n\"Politics are just as good as you\nmake them. We try to improve the\nnominees\u00E2\u0080\u0094get temperance men and\nChristinas, and we need the assistance of the church. If the members\nof the First Baptist Church would\ndo their utmost to help their respective party\u00E2\u0080\u0094whatever it may be\u00E2\u0080\u0094in\nthe cause of good, they can control\none political organization in this city\nGet all the members of every Baptist,\nchurch in this city and they can con\ntrol all the organizations. If the\nchurches would get into politics there\nwould be no necessity of such a resolution as the one before you now.\nIncorporate all the Baptist churches\nin British Columbia months before\nthe election and try to get a political\nconscience of the issues. If you don't\nthe country will go down.\"\n\"Political Independence is the\nmain idea, and we should insert\nsomething in the resolution to the\neffect that the members should have\nthis quality,\" interjected C. S. Stev-\nens. in explaining, Mr. Stevens said\nthat the Liquor License Act passed\nat the Conservative caucus by two\nvotes and naturally the rest of the\nConservatives followed the trail\nchosen by the leaders.\nA. B. McNeil of Victoria did not\nlike Mr. Woodworlh's resolution regarding the mercenary individuals\nwho had obtained money by wrongful methods. \"Why, I know men in\npolitics today in Victoria, and rather\nwealthy, who seven years ago could\nnot pay for a meal,\" he said. \"But,\nthen, I don't say that it was through\npolitical corruption that they became\nopulent.\" Referring to elections, he\nsaid that not 5 per cent of the Baptists in Victoria attended the primaries at the last election. \"Everybody should have a chance to vote,\"\nhe said. \"There should be universal\nsuffrage, for the women should\nhave a chance along with the men\nto prpotect themselves. There should\nbe no opponents against such a\ngreat scheme.\" (Applause.)\nAnother amendment was suggested\nto i hi' effect that the people should\nput \"measure before party\" in all\nelections. Eventually, after many\nwords on initiative and referendum\nthe convention decided to rest the\nresponsibility on the shoulders of\nthe resolution committee.\n o\t\nMYSTERY OF CENTURIES\nAmerican Sees Similarity Between\nEnglish Riddle and Cyreilce Discovery\u00E2\u0080\u0094Clue to Stonchenge\nThe mystery of Stonehenge, the\nunread riddle which has for nun\ndreds of years perplexed savants, is\nbelieved to have been unveiled by\nProf. Richard Norton of Harvard, according to reports which have reached this country from Cyrenalc\n(Greek) Libya.\nProf. Norton, who is the son of\nCharles Eliol Norton, has just\nreached tlie American School of Classical Studies at Rome. He will soon\nannounce discoveries made by the\nAmerican archaeological exepdition\nin the excavation of the Greek city\nof Cyrene, founded 631 B. C.\nThe connection between the discoveries at Cyrene and the mystery\nof Stonehenge is said lo lie in the\nsimilarity of the megalithic or great\nstoned columns common eo each.\nStonehenge is located In Wiltshire,\nEngland, and was there centuries before Christ. It was the chief temple\nand seat, accordcing to some writers,\nof Druidical justice. The outer circle is carried on the top of a continuous circle of large, flat stones\not the same width.\nA link between the two ruins is\nbelieved by some to lie in the great\nstones of the lowest courses in the\nJewish place ot lamentation in the\ntemple at Jerusalem, these stones\nbeing thought to date from the temple wall ot Solomon.\nThe parallel between the remarkable megalithic groups discovered in\nthe Cyrenaic and the great circular\nStonehenge is said to be most striking, the Cyrenaic monument, according to scientists, being the outer circle of continuous trilithons of Stonehenge simply streached out straight.\nThe theory now advanced Is that\nthe trilithons, or three stoned structures, ie'\u00E2\u0080\u00A2e actually in part an improved sore of dolmen, or sepulchral\nmonument, the horizontal stone being supported by two upright stones\nused as legs instead of by three or\nfour after the cruder fashion.\nThe Harvard exepeditlon found a\nsubterranean necroplis, which will\nbe explored. The tombs, however,\nhad already ben rifled, so that the\nfinds in them were limited to fragments of sculpture and inscriptions\nand a considerable quantity of\nbroken pottery.\n o\t\nMifkins\u00E2\u0080\u0094Would it hurt your feelings if I should call you a liar?\nBlfklns\u00E2\u0080\u0094Oh, no, but it might hurt\nmy knuckles.\nTHE TOURIST TRADE\nVisitor to City Sees a Great Opportunity\nfor the City in the Near\nFuture.\nAn Ever Increasing Number Will Be\nComing Here\u00E2\u0080\u0094Demand for\nAccommodations\nAmong the more recent visitors to\nPrince Rupert looking into the opportunities of business here has been\na resident of Porl Hamilton, Bermuda Island. .Mr. Harnett, who is\nharbor master al that port, has long\nbeen Interested in this city and impressed with opportunity that must\noffer for trade here. He is but one\nof the many thousands scattered all\nover the globe who have their eye\nupon this city as the opening to\nwhich they will eventually come.\n.Air. Harnett determined this summer that he would spend his holidays\non a trip to this port and see for\nhimself just what the conditions are.\nHe is not sorry be did so lor he\nrealizes that the time is ripe for\ninvesting here. He has friends in\nthe Bermudas and also in the United\nStates who are awaiting his report\nbefore deciding upon locating here.\nMr. Harnett left this morning on his\nway home but he has sent a report\nthat puts Prince Rupert in a good\nposition as an investment and which\nwill likely result in some new firms\ncoming in either this fall or next\nyear.\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0Mr. Harnett sees in this port a\ngreat business centre but he also\nsees in it a wonderful tourist resort.\nHe has been accustomed to the tourist trade and knows what it means\nto a place. The first year after Hie\nrailway is complepted, he says that,\non a very low estimate, there will\nbe 10,000 people come over the new\nline to Prince Rupert to spend vacations here 'extending over different lengths of time. These will be\ntourists alone, independent of those\nseeking business. The result, he\npoints out will be that a tremendous\nhotel accommodation will have to\nbe provided and with it other lines\not business. Under these circumstances, work upon the business\nbuildings cannot be long delayed and\npermanent structures will have to go\nup in the city to meet the demands.\nThe second year of the road will\nsee the tourist trade double at least,\nhe says, while from that on there will\nbe still more rapid increases each\nyear.\nMr, Harnett has in view one firm\nof contractors who deal in heavy\nmaterial and the erection of concrete\nand steel buildings who are making\narrangements to come here to enter\ninto trade and which may locate\nhere within a very short time.\nMr. Harnett has left the city more\nthan satisfied with the prospects for\nthe future.
