J. Prudhomme's Renewal Application is Found to be\nOut of Order and is Not\nConsidered.\nJ. A. Smith. The chairman of the\nboard, Aid. Hilditch, said the action\nThe Board of License Commissioners for the city sat on Wednesday afternoon and again yesterday,\ntransacting the general business for\nthe quarter. The question of the\nSavoy license, which can always be\ndepended upon to come up before\nthe commission at every sitting, was\nagain to the fore. The order of Air.\nJustice Clement, of the Supreme\nCourt was complied with and the\nlicense ordered to be issued in accord with the order of the court. An\napplication for a renewal of the license evidently intended to cover the\ntime from July 15, was found to be\nout of order and no action was\ntaken on it.\nThe renewals were granted to the\nvarious other hotels and wholesale\nhouses.\nIn the matter of bottle licenses\nwhich have hitherto been refused,\nthe commissioners, acting upon the\nadvice of the city solicitor that these\ndid not affect the number of hotel\nlicenses possible, granted two that\nwere in order to E.

Hllditch acting mayor, who\npresided, Aid. Smith and Commissioner J. E. Merryfield.\nChief Vickers reported that all the\nlicensed places had been conducted\nproperly during the past quarter.\nProceeding to business the first\nmatter te come up was that of the\ncase of A. J. Prudhomme of the\nSavoy Hotel. \u00E2\u0080\u00A2\nMr. Peters, K. C, asked if Mr.\nAlex Manson had the original mandamus in the Prudhomme case.\nMr. Manson said that he had returned it.\n' Mr. Peters said the original\nshould have been kept. v\nAfter some discussion, in which\nthe chairman said they must have\nthe document before them, Mr. Peters said he had a copy and would\nsoon be able to produce it as be had\nsent for it.\nThe copy being produced it was\nread. The application of Mr. Prudhomme for a renewal of the license\nwas read also.\nAid. Smith moved that a renewal\nof the license be granted in accordance with the terms of the man-\nda in us.\nThe question of voting came up\nwhen it was pointed out that the\naction was taken as a result of the\nmandamus, the city solicitor pointing out that the license would expire\nin July.\nRenewals of licenses were granted\nto J.

It was pointed out that the application asked for a renewal from\nJune 14.\nMr. Peters pointed out that this\nwas not in order.\nMr. Prudhomme asked to see tbe\napplication. He meant it from July\n15.\n\"Why didn't you say what you\nmeant, then?\" asked Mr. Peters\npointing out that the application\nread from June 14.\nMr. Prudhomme said if it was so\nstated it was a clerical error he intended to have it date from July 15.\nAlex Manson, appearing for Mr.\nPrudhomme said that Mr. Prudhomme did not know what would be\nthe result of the application before\nthe supreme court. He could not\nask for a renewal for something that\nhad not then been granted. He contended that the application was\nmade to have the Board consider the\nquestion of a renewal of the license\nat this,sitting.\nMr, Peters could not see why a\nrenewal could not be asked from\nJuly 15 as well as from June 14.\nReading from the statute Mr. Peters\ncontended that the law was very\nclear. The application as it appeared\ninvalidated any renewal which\nmight be granted under it.\n\"Don't you think that Mr. Prud-,\nhoninie's old position, that he made a\nmistake, is the more tenable?\"\nasked Mr. Peters.\nMr. Manson wanted to know\nwhat could have been done under\nthe circumstances.\nMr. Peters, however, did not appear to be inclined to give any advice in the matter.\nThe chairman wanted to know\nwhat his application was, was it an\napplication for a renewal from July\n15?\nMr. Manson said that they were in\nan anomolous position of applying\nfor something that was not in existence,\nAid.

Mr. Smith,\nwhile he did not doubt that the\nmines would be taken over, had no\nofficial word of the final closing of\nthe deal. The ore body at the mine\nis a very large one and at present\nthe Granby Company has done the\nnecessary work to prove the body of\nore there.\nJust what tbe policy of the company will be as to developing the\nmine, Mr. Smith could not say.

This Is an Increase\nof fully 40 per cenl over 1910, which\nhad broken the record of any previous season. I estimate Hint If\nreciprocity fails, the fall Importations will bring our total up to\n6,000,000 trees and plants. This\nshows thai here is some settlemenl\nand orchard plaining going em in\nHrliish Columbia siiU.\"\nAsked as to what lines bad shown\nthe most noticeable Increase, Mr,\nCunningham said: \"The.re has\nreally been a noticeable falling off\nin the number of peach trees imported. Not nearly as many came in\nas last year, and In my opinion it is\na good thing, as we shall do better\nto confine ourselves to the best class\nof apples, pears and cherries. 1 am\nglad to say, the most notable increase is in the number of apple\ntrees imported. . .eere has also been\na good increase in the other fruits\nI have mentioned. Remember also\nthat the figures I have quoted do\nnot Include the output of our local\nnurseries of which there are 13 or\n14 scattered through the province,\nsome of them doing considerable\nbusiness.

Starts Its Regular Service From Prince Rupert\nOver the Westernmost 100 Miles of Its\nTranscontinental System\u00E2\u0080\u0094Much\nInterest is Manifested\nin the Event.\nOn Wednesday at I o'clock, the\nfirst scheduled train left the city for\nCoppr River, at mile 100 on the\nGrand Trunk Pacific. The event\nwas marked by no ostentatious display on the part of the company, but\non the contrary, sharp on the scheduled time the train moved out as\nthough a practice of long standing\nwas but being conformed to. From\nnow on the departure and arrival of\nthe local train will become a settled\nfeature* of ihe life of the place.\nThe event was but another of the\nepoch-marking features which are\nfollowing one another so closely in\nthe history of this young city. It\nmarks the beginning of a service\nwhich will quickly be extended until\nin a few short months this city becomes the Pacific starting point for\nthe through trains to all parts of the\neast.\nChanged Conditions\nAs the passenger portion of ' the\ntrain was being made up at noon\ntoday J. H. Plllsbury, the engineer\nwho first located here in charge of\nthe work of surveying the townsite,\npassed alongside and watched the\nshuting in of the coaches. Although\nat times residents are apt to become\nimpatient and want to see the work\naccomplished all at once, there can\nbe no doubt that Mr. Pillsbury must\nhave felt that the change that had\npassed over the city in the few years\nsince he pitched his tent near the\nsame site where the modern train\nwas being made up, had been marvelous. The development of the\nnext few years must of necessity be\nmuch more marked than it has been\nduring the same time in the past.\nThe putting on of the service\nmarks the creation of Prince Rupert as a railway centre. While\nthere has been considerable freight\nmoved up over the rails last year\nand again this season, before the\nregular service was inaugurated, yet\nthe train on Wednesday was -the\nfirst of those running on a regular\nschedule under autl.o ity.\nThe First Train\nTlie general superintendent of tbe\nline, W. C. C. Mehan, who has seen\nthe various divisions west of Winnipeg started upon their services,\nhad arrangements all in first-clas's\ncondition for the start, although he\nhad only a few days' notice that the\nnecessary permission had been given. Shortly before twelve o'clock\nnoon, the passenger end of the train\nwas shunted into position easl of\nCentre street, where il stood in position until the time' of sinning.\nCaboose No. 390070, Indicative of\nthe mixed character of tbe train was\nIncluded, with it went standard\nears of the differenl classes composed of baggage car 702, Colonist\ncar 3012, a first-class passenger\ncoach No. 1012 with General Super-\nNo.\nthe\nlntendent Mohan's private car\n4102 attached to the rear of\nMain.\nBefore the time of starting had\narrived there was a large gathering\nof citizens assembled to see the train\npull out and the camera was very\nmuch in evidence until the passing\nout of Hie train had become a matter of history.\nOfficials Went I'p\nGeneral Superintendent -Mehan,\nSuperintendent McNlcholl, accompanied by a few friends, made the\ntrip over the route to see that all\nwent well. Train Agent Holtby was\non duty and entered upon the office\nhe will fill In charge of the passenger tickets along the route until\nsuch time as there is a regular system of ticket offices along the\nroute.\nAs the speed at which the train\nis permitted under the orders of the\nRailway Commission, Copper River\nwill not be reached until after nine\no'clock each evening and on the return trip the time of arrival is from\nnine in the morning until twenty\nminutes past five in the evening.\nHot. Lunches Served\nIn order to meet the convenience\nof the traveling public the officials\nof the company have arranged for a\nhot lunch to be served on the train\neach way. By arrangements with\nthe commissariat department of tbe\nrailway, Mr. Mehan is able to serve\nhot coffee and tea, sandwiches, pie,\netc., on the train so as to meet the\nconvenience of the traveling public.\nIn.time there will be established at\nsome convenient point a restaurant\nwhere hot meals may be served, the\ntrain making a stop sufficiently long\nto allow this.\nOn the first train out several\nfreight cars were taken on carrying\nmaterial for the road. The service\nwill continue to be a mixed one for\nthe present.\n.Many Made Trip\nOwing to the fact that the train\nwas the first scheduled one out 'if\nthe city, a number of citizens look\npassage by It, some proceeding a\nfew stations oul where they transferred to steamer and came back to\nthe city.\nThere was a large number of pac-\nsengers for the end of the tracK.\nMr. Little, the pioneer news agent\nhere, purchased the first ticket.\nPostmaster Mcintosh and Mrs.\nMcintosh, among the earliest residents of the city wen- passengers on\nthe' first train.

PRINCE RUPERT JOURNAL\nFriday, June 16,'1911.\nSPOR TS\nSTANDING START\nA great objee-tion to harness\nhorse races in the mind of the sport\nlover is the many starts necessary to\nget the horses going. The horses in\na running race are often kept five\nor more minute's at the post, but\nwhen the barrier does go up they\nare away, and there is no calling\nthem back. In the trotting races\nthe horses come more or less slowly\ndown lo the wire, and if they are in\nanything like a straight line the\njudges b't them go. If several of\nthe starters are pretty well back the\nhorses have to turn around and try\nit all iiver again. Nol only is It a\ntedious business, but it leaves the\njudge open iei a lot of criticism. If\nan owner sees his horse away to a\ngood start the first or second time\nand they are called back, then on\nthe third trip, when his horse gets\na bad start, and the word is given\nto \"let her go,\" he is liable to be a\nbit sore, and really you can hardly\nblame him.\nSpeaking to a man at Dufferin\nPark, Toronto, who has been closely\nconnected with the harness horse\nfor many years, the question of the\npracticability of a standing start was\nbroached. The gentleman referred\nto said he had started trotters\nstanding and had found that it\nworked out very well. It might be\nsaid tha tsome horses take a little\ntime to get into their stride, and if\nstarted in a race standing would\n\"break\" several times before they\ngot going properly. What if they\ndid? The horses are supposed to be\ntrotters, and the one who can swing\ninto his stride right at the start, instead of having to go 2\"> or 50\nyards before he gets going, is surely\nentitled to the advantage.\nWHARF, PRINCE RUPERT.\nIn the Matter cf Chapter 115, \"Navigable Waters Protection Act,\"\nR.

As a matter\nof fact, there were times, Saturdays,\nespecially, when there were as many\nas 21 cars in operation. Other cars\nare now on the way to the city and\nwithin ihe next few days the department will have a complement of 30\ncarp.\nThe revenue of the department\ncan be estimated but as yet it is impossible to find out what the expenses are. This is due mainly lo\nthe fact thai the department does\nnot know what it is paying for power. This quest ion was one of the\nfirst which Commissions!* Bouillon\nannounced must be settled when he-\nfirst reached the city. He advised\na series of monthly reports which\nwould show Hie revenue and expense's of all the departments, bul\nto date the system has not been\nworked oul in detail and none, of\nthe reports are complete.\nCATTLE POR INTERIOR\nNOTICE.\nIn the matter of an application for\nthe issue of a duplicate of the Certificate of Title for Part (N. 26\nAcres) of the S.
