C-, THURSDAY, JUNE 30, 1910\nprice, Five Cents\nN'O. 5\nTHE CITY TELEPHONE\nCitizen's Petition is Still Subject of Controversy-Council Discusses It.\nMayor Stork Has Assurances Question of Post Office is Being Considered at Ottawa\nThe telephone petition dispute la\nnot yet settled. At last evening's\nsitting of the council, Aid. Pattullo\nagain Introduced the subject basinc\nhis remarks on an editorial in th\nEmpire. Aid. Pattullo said a serious\ncharge was made by the press. Tho\ncharge was so serious that It almost\nimputed that the council was in connivance with those who sought to\nsecure the telephone franchise In the\ncity as a private proposition. The\ntelephone and light committee had\nbeen instrumental In taking the first\nsteps towards securing the telephone\nas a public utility. He thought that\ncommittee might take this subject\nup.\nIf it could be shown that he had\nin any way done anything to thwart\nthe signing of this petition he would\nresign his postion as alderman. He\nthought the committee should fully\ninvestigate this charge.\nAid. Smith wished to know if there\nwas anything In the minutes of the\ncouncil to show where these petitions\nshould be placed.\nThe minutes of June 9 were referred to and the places where petitions were to be placed was found\nembodied in a resolution. .\nAid. Hildltch lamented the act thai\nthere should be any difference of\nopinion on the subject. He thought\nit would be a difficult thing to get\nten per cent of the property owners\nliving here and therefore competent\nto sign the petition. If the papers\nwould lay aside attacking Aid. Pat-\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0tullo and assist in getting this signed they would be doing better work.\nThe papers should lassits in this. The\ncouncil was doing its best to get the\ntelephone for the city. He moved\nthat the question be referred to the\ntelephone and light committee.\nAid. Lynch said that with the number of clerks in hio store it might\nhave been possible for some one to\ncome to his place and find one who\ncould not tell him where the petition\nwas. When it was said that this had\ntaken place. in three piaces he felt\nlike stating that it was a falsehood.\nThe editor of the paper had shown\nan ignorance when the subject was\nup last winter that would shame a\nfifteen-year-old boy. .\u00C2\u00ABittle credence\nshould be given any statement by this\neditor.\nThe motion of Aid. Hildltch carried.\n. A. letter was received from W, A.\nWilliams,' the -city solicitor, 'giving\nthe legal aspect of the proposed\ndrain across Mr. McLennan's property, '\nOn motion of Aid. Pattullo it was\nreferred to the committee to report\nupon.\nAid. Hildltch introduced a bylaw\nrelating to the duties of the health\nofficer of the city.\nCity Wharf\nAid. Hildltch wanted to know If\nanything had been done with respect\nto the securing of a wharf for the\nlanding of lumber. There was a considerable quantity of lumber coming In and it would be costly to pay\nwharfage.\nAid. Pattullo thought il wise tn do\nsomething In the matter of securing\na wharf before nil the waterfront became alienated.\nAdded Duties\nAid. Pattullo moved that the city\nclerk act also as city treasurer at\na salary of $150 a month from\nJune 2nd.\nThe motion carried.\nAid. Pattullo also moved that the\ncity clerk act as purchasing agent for\nthe city. This would tend to keep a\ncheck on the matter of orders.\nThis motion also carried.\nThe Post Office\nAid. Pattullo also moved that the\nmayor communicate with the Dominion government urging that a\nstart be made on the building of the\npost office here. Large bodies moved\nslowly and even If a start was made\nnow the summer would he well advanced before work was commenced.\nMayor Stork said he had taken the\nsubject up with Hon. William Tem-\npleman who said that the preliminary steps were well advanced. It\nwould not In his opinion be wise to\nmake any other move just now. Mr.\nTerapleman would shortly visit\nPrince Rupert- when the subject could\nbe gone Into.' .': .\nAid. Pattullo agreed in view of this\nnot to press his motion.\nBylaws Advanced\nThe bylaw-designating the duties\nof the clerk and treasurer was finally passed, the bylaw to come into ef-\nfoct at once\nThe bylaw relating to the duties\nof the medical health officer passeo\nIts first and second readings.\nThe building bylaw was considered\n'ii (ommittec rt some length.\n o\t\nWINNIPEu VAIR\nExposition of 1014 Will Be Carried\nOut on Colossal Scale\nThe trade organizations of Winnipeg have succeeded in collecting\n52,500,000 for the big world's fair\nto be held here in 1914.\nOf this amount the G.

Sir Wilfrid Laurier,\nwhile in Winnipeg will, it is understood, inform the city that the Dominion will give dollar for dollar\nto advertise the exhibition, the\ngreatest the world has ever seen.

He was approached by A. J.\n.Morris, president of the Board of\nTrade on the subject of the proposed\nexhibition here this fall, a subject\nwhich the president of the Board has\nentered into, most enthusiastically.\nMr. Heal is fully in accord with it\nand promises to do all he can to enlist co-operation in his district.\nIt is proposed after the exhibition\nproper is over to have a permanent\ndisplay representative of the whole\nNew British Columbia put on view\nin a convenient place so that all\nvisitors may acquaint themselves\nwith the immense possibilties of the\ndistrict.\nThe assistance of the G.

The Dominion authorities, they think, should provide a\nwharf anil allow the mail to lie dropped as the steamers pass north from\nVancouver. If that is not allowed\nthey would like some arrangement\nmade by which a mail service could\nlie subsidized from Prince Rupert\nin the Island point.\nKjiillar River is making rapid\nprogress, the visitors say.

OEI-'ICERS\nResult of Election at Last Meeting\nof Prominent Body\nAt the recent meeting of the provincial W. C. T. U. the following officers were elected for the year:\nPresident, Mrs. Spofford, Victoria;\nhonorary president, Mrs. McNaugh-\nton, Victoria; vice-president, Mrs.\nReekie, Vancouver; corresponding\nsecretary, Mrs. Cunningham, New\nWestminster; recording and press\nsecretary, Miss Marguerite Evans,\nVictoria; treasurer, Mrs. Gordon\nGrant, Victoria.\n o\t\nNEW COuulER\nMADE RECORD TIME\nWilliam H. Case, Formerly Atlantic\nWindjammer, Will Carry Coal\nThe C. P. R. company has recently purchased the coal carrier, William H. Case, to be used In coaling\nthe coast steamers of the company.\nShe was built at Rockland, Maine,\nin 1878, and was originally a bar-\nkentlne. While still a new vessel\nshe was dismasted in a gale and was\nafterwards rigged as a bark. After\nan adventurous and a rather unfortunate career, she was converted Into a coal hulk at Seattle.\n :\u00E2\u0080\u0094o\t\nWEATHER STATION\nAdded Importance Is Given to Prince\nRupert By New\nMove.\nMeteorological Reporting Centre is\nBeing Moved From Port Simpson to This City\nPrince Rupert will in future be\none, of the meteorological stations in\nthe Dominion from which regular\nreports will be received daily.\n,B. C. Webber, of Toronto, of the\nMeteorological Department, is al:\npresent in the city in connection with\nthe installation of the system. The\nobservations will likely be taken by\nMr. Downey, of the Dominion government telegraph office. Mr. Webber will remain possibly a week until everything is in running order.\nThe office at Port Simpson will be\ndiscontinued on the opening of this\none, and Prince Rupert will become\nknown at all the weather bureaus,\nreports being telegraphed from day\nto day from here as to the weather\nconditions.\nMr. Webber will instal the necessary equipment, part of which is of\na very delicate character. The new\nmove is but another recognition of\nthe growing importance of Prince\nRupert.\nG.T.P. Steamer Made Fast Trip From\nSouth to Home\nPort.\nVoyage From Vancouver Cut Down\nto 80 Hours Steaming by\nNew Vessel\nOn her trip north to this port\nfrom the south, the Prince Rupert\nestablished her claim to the title of\nthe fastest vessel on the coast. The\nrun from Vancouver by the G. T. P.\nliner established the fact that the\nsteamer Is capable of maintaining a\nspeed of eighteen knots without the\nleast difficulty.\nThrough some mistake concerning the coal supply, the Prince Rupert did not get away from Vancouver until after midday on Tuesday. In spite of this and the additional disadvantage that she was delayed for about a hour and a half or\ntwo hours by fog on the way up, the\nsteamer reached Prince Rupert only\nsix hours late, having made the run\nin about thirty-one hours or If allowance is made for the fact that she\nlost some time by having to come to\na stand still on account of fog south\nof Queen Charlotte Sound the voyage was made in less than 30 hours,\nreaching here last night about seven\no'clock.\nThe trip established a record on\nthis northern run and one that Is not\nlikely to be broken for a long time\nunless it is done by the Prince Rupert herself or her sister, the Prince\nGeorge.\nThe delay at Vancouver was very\nannoying to the officers of the vessel.\nThe Prince Rupert in consequence\nof the large cargo she brought, did\nnot get away for Stewart until 'an\nearly hour this morning. It is expected that the time she will make\non her trip south will enable the passengers to reach Vancouver and the\nother southern ports practically on\nscheduled time.\nThere is evidently a heavy travel\nbeing diverted this way this summer.\nThe Prince Rupert brought north\nabout 250 passengers. The majority\nof them were for this port.\nA FORGOTTEN MINK\nReport That Workings Have Been\nDiscovered on Observatory lnli-t\nCLEARED THE WHARF\nLocal News Boys Take Strong Ways\nof Dealing With Rivals\nA report Is being circulated that\ni lost mine has been discovered in\nhe north, in an old tunnel with a\nMexican arrnsta; hidden and forgotten in the wilds of Observatory In-\net.

D. Rand's Reserve Prices Have\nBeen Submitted to the Court\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094Appeal Likely\nThe case of Frewen vs. Hays, the\naction brought by Moreton Frewen,\nthe London bimetalist, against the\nGrand Trunk Pacific Townsite & Development company to recover damages for alleged failure to transfer\na thousand lots at Prince Rupert has\ncome to a close before Chief Justice\nHunter, who reservau judgment.\nThe case now seems to have narrowed down to a question as to\nwhether -Mr. Frewen could take the\nlots at the reserved price fixed for\nthe auction sale, or whether he\nshould have been compelled to pay\nprices corresponding to those actually realized at the sale.\nE. P. Davis, K.C., counsel for the\nplaintiff, put in a letter written to\nMr. Hays by Mr. Henry Phillips, secretary of the townsite company, in\nwhich he stated that since the sale,\nhe had increased the amounts named\non the lots by the valuators from\n25 to 100 per cent, and where there\nhad been sales he placed the values\nat those obtained for adjoining lots.\nC. D. Rand stated that he and Mr.\nF. L. Murdoff had placed the reserve values on the lots for the sale.\nHe had acted as agent both for the\nrailway company and the government. He had made three copies of\nthe schedules of valuations, one of\nwhich he had sent to Hon. Mr. Fulton, at that time chief commissioner\nof lands, one he sent to G. U. Ryley,\nland commissioner for the G. T. P.,\nand one he kept for the use of his\nown office.\n\"Will you produce that list?\" asked Mr. Davis.\n\"Well, your lordship,\" said Mr.\nRand, \"I am in this position. I acted\nboth for the railway company and\nthe government in this matter, and\nI don't know whether the government would care to uave me produce\nIt here.\"\n\"You had better produce It,\" Bald\nthe court.\nMr. Rand thereupon produced a\nlong list of typewritten figures which\nwas filed away with the other documents.\nContinuing his evidence, Mr. Rand\nsaid they had valued 5,200 lots, of\nwhich 2,90) were sold at the sale,\nand some had been sold since by the\ncompany.. At the sale a few lots were\nsold at the reserve price, but most\not Uiem went away above it. Some\ntots they had not valued because they\nhad found them inaccessible.\nBarclay Bonthrone, financial agent\nsaid he represented Sir Edgar Vin-\naent, who was associated with Mr.\nFrewen in this matter. With Mr.\nFrewen and Mr. Ashton of Tacoma,\nhie had gone to Prince Rupert to assist in the selection of the lots in\nthe first place, and later he had gone\nwith Mr. Frewen to Montreal, when\nhe interviewed Mr. Hays in 1908. Mr.\nFrewen asked why he did not get\nhie selection of the lots conveyed to\nhim. Mr. Hays said they must await\nthe- result of the auction sale, and\nget the prices realized there. Mr.\nFrewen objected, saying that he had\nalways understood that he was to\ncome before and not behind the public. Mr. Bonthrone also objected on\nbehalf of Sir Edgar Vincent, whom\nhe represented. Mr. Hays became\nangry, and said he did not see what\nright he had to be at the Interview,\nand Mr. Bonthrone said that, since\nhe took it that way he would with*\ndraw.\nA year ago, when Sir Rivers Wilson was out here, Mr. Bonthrone had\na talk with him at Glencoe Lodge,\nand told him the whole circumstances of the case. Sir Rivers Wilson had remarked to him that it,\nseemed like \"a damned slick Yankee\ntrick.\" After that, when they had\ntried to arrange a meeting with Mr.\nHays, he had always referred them\nto his solicitor.\nCross-examined by Mr. McPhil-\nlips, he said he had never heard that\nMr. Frewen had agreed to Mr. Phillips' selection of lots.\nAt the conclusion of the plaintiff's\ncase, Mr. McPhilllps alleging that the\nplaintiff had not made out a case,\nsaid there was no reason why the\ndefence should call any evidence.\n\"Though you are airietly within\nyour rights In asking for a non-suit\nwithout putting in evidence, still\nconsidering the nature of this case,\nand the certainty of appeal, you\nmight do otherwise,\" said the Chief\nJustice.\nMr. McPhilllps argued that apart\nfrom the statute of frauds which bars\nout agreements that are not submitted to writing, after a first list which\nthe plaintiff had repudiated, there\nhad been no specified lots, and no\nfixed prices.\n\"Simply an agreement to agree,\"\nremarked the court.\n\"Just so, and until there is an\nagreement there is nothing to go on,\"\nremarked Mr. MePhillips. He continued that at one time the plaintiff\nhad agreed to the price mentioned\nby Phillips, and had afterwards repudiated that contract. If there was\nany contract it was that the prices\nshould not be higher than the public\nhad to pay. These could not be\nRand's prices, as he said himself that\nhe could only put a price on a portion of the lots, and he admitted in\nhis memorandum that he did not feel\ncompetent to fix many of the reserve\nprices.\nMr. Davis said his learned friend\nevidently realized that he could not\nrely on the statute of frauds, and the\ncase seemed to have resolved itself\ndown to the question as to whether\nthere was any price fixed so as to\nmake it an agreement at all. First\nthey relied on the selection made by\nMr. Frewen, and secondly on the\nPhillips compromise selection, which\nwas accepted by Mr. Frewen under\npressure. Mr. Frewen, made a fair\nselection of lots, but his list was not\naccepted by Mr. Hays, who presented him with another list made up by\nMr. Phillips. They had agreed upon\nthe selection. The only question was,\nwere the prices fixed or were they\nnot? Mr. Hays in a letter to Mr.\nFrewen said they would be fixed, and\nthey would be no higher than the\nprices at which they were offered to\nthe public, and the prices would be\nfixed when the surveys were com-\noleted. When the surveys wore completed, the prices were fixed by Mr.\nRand and Mr. Murdoff, and the lots\nwere offered to the public at these\nreserve prices. In other words, if\nthere had been one bid on each ot\nthe lots at the prices fixed, tbe public\nwould have got them at those prices.\n\"If It does not mean that, what\ndoes it mean?\" said Mr. Davis. \"It\nmeans that this was nothing but a\nfraud from beginning to end, and I\ndon't think that Mr. Hays or his\nfriends would want to put. such a\nbargain on anyone.\"\nHe added that it was clear that\nthe Intention was to give the lots to\nMr. Frewen as a speculation at tbe\nprices fixed on the list, and that\nagreement of Mr. Hays had been\nbroken without the slightest shame.\nThe court announced that decision\nwas reserved.\nBritain grows 6% tons of potatoes\nto the acre, France 3 1-5, and Russia\nonly 2 tons.\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0\nHAYNOR BROS.\nHouse Furnishers.\nLocated temporarily, since the Are,\nin - Dunedin - Block, corner of Second\nAvenue and Eighth Street.\nSome snaps in slightly damaged goods which we want to clear\nout before moving into new quarters in Manson Blk., Third Ave.\nFUNERAL FURNISHERS\nADV0CATS LEVELLING\nWell Known Resident of Vancouver Gives\nAdvice to City of Prince\nRupeat.,\nA. G. McCandlass Thinks Scheme\nShould Be Adopted at Once to\nPut Site in Shape\nA. G. McCandlass, of Vancouver,\narrived in the city last evening on\nthe Prince Rupert, ile will leave\nagain tonight on the return trip. The\ntrip of Mr. McCandlass is one of\npleasure largely, although he will\ntake occasion at the same time to\nlook over some investments he has\nhere. He is interested in the syndicate that purchased the highest\npriced lot at the great auction sale,\nthe corner of McBride and Second\navenue.\nHe has the fullest faith in Prince\nRupert. It cannot help being a great\ncity, he thinks, but there should be\nan immediate start in putting the\ntownsite in shape to accommodate\nthe immense population that will\nflow in shortly.\nMr. McCandlass \\u00C2\u00BBas formerly\nmayor of Victoria, and understands\nmunicipal work and all its troubles.\nHis opinion therefore on sue surrounded by mi Ideal agricultural district.\nHe thinks il will bo as necessary\nto the life of Prince Rupert as any\nother feature of the city is and his\nadvice Is for all residents of the city\nCanadian-Mexican Line Have\nproved Service\nIni-\nThe Canadian-Mexican Steamship\nCompany has purchased the Henley\nto replace the steamer Georgia, on\nthe Mexican run.\nThe company's charter on the\nsteamer Georgia has expired and as\nthat vessel is not sufficient to cope\nwith the fast growing trade with\nMexico It will be replaced by thd\nHenley. The steamer Henley is one\nof the best equipped cargo steamers plying on this coast, having a\nlength of 342 feet with a 43 foot\nbeam and a molded depth of 29 feet.\nThe vessel can carry 5,500 tons\nhandily and has a speed of 10 knots\nan hour.\nThe Canadian-Mexican Steamship\nCompany is now purely a British\nColumbian concern, and is controlled\nby Vancouver capital.\nJust what will be done with the\nGeorgia has not been decided by her\nowners, the Sun Steamship Com\npany of London, but in all probability the steamer will return to the\nUnited Kingdom.\nAnother steamer will likely be\npurchased by the Canadian-Mexican\nline, but this will not be settled until\nafter the steamer Lonsdale arrives\non the Sound from Salina Cruz. Just\nas soon as the cargo of the Lonsdale\nIs discharged the steamer will go into dry dock for repairs and inspection. If everything is satisfactory\nthe Lonsdale will again be chartered\nfrom Messrs. Harris & Dickson, of\nLondon, and she will still ply between\nthis port and Mexico. If not, another\nvessel will be purchased.\n\"fhe duty Is on again on grain\nentering Mexico,\" said Capt. Wors-\nnop, the manager, \"but there will be\na great demand for Canadian wheat\nin Mexico this fall, and the duty in\nall probability will be taken off. If\nthat is the case we will be in a position to handle this heavy traffic in\na very efficient manner.\"\nThe Canadian-Mexican steamers\nleaving for Mexico are still taking\nsmall consignments of wheat and\nbarley, the majority of which Is consigned to Leon S. Kohn, the largest\nmalt manufacturer in Mexico City.\n o\t\nCHINA'S TRADE\nIncrease in Shipping is Shown by\nReport' of U. 8. Consul\nthe Kiaochow postal district, under\nthe Chinese imperial postofflce, thirteen new agencies have been opened,\nand in September, 1909, twenty-one\ndistrict postal agencies Of the first\nand second class and fifty agencies\nhad been established.\n\"Of special importance is the establishment of a day-and-night\ncourier service between Tslngtau\nand Chefoo. The couriers cover 1^5\nmiles in fifty hours. Connection\noverland with Pekin and Tientsin is\nalso carried on by couriers, occupying two days for t're Journev.\n\"Malls are sent from Tsingtau to\nTsinanfu by rail, and leave Xwice\ndaily from the litte.- place via\nTeUuou to Tientsin and to Shuntefu,\nwhere they connect with the Pekln-\nHankow railway. This overland route\nIs especially useful during the winter\nmonths when the river at Tientsin is\nfrozen and steamship connection can\nonly be carried on through Chluk-\nwantao.\n\"Parcel post systems with all the\nEuropean cities are carried on, which\nmakes excellent opportunities for\nthe increase of the mail order business in Europe, but such mail order\nbusiness is impossible with the\nUnited States, owing to the exorbitant cost of postage or express. A\nsmall package recently purchased in\nSan Francisco, which has been\nbrought to my attention, having\noriginally cost $2, was shipped to\nTsingtau by post and express and the\nreceiver was obliged to pay over 600\nper cent for transportation charges.\nIt would have come to this place from\nany European city for twenty cents.\"\nBaron Roenne has mapped out\nroutes and charts, and he has drawn\nup rough time tables for the mail and\nand newspaper service. ,\nThe journey from London to Berlin and back will, for Instance, occupy thirty-six hjurs.\n\"This calculation,\" be says, \"allows for strong head winds of a velocity of ilfty-five miles an hour. Of\nthe eight motors with which each\nairship will be provided, only four,\nfive or at the utmust six, would be\nworking at a time, thus enabling\nthem to be kept In perfect order.\"\nThis is the beginning of Baron\nRoenne's scheme. He has mapped\nout a passenger service from London to New York!\n\"I fancy It will take about seventy-two hours to cross the Atlantic,\"\nsaid the Baron. \"That, of course,\nis allowing for a head wind of about\nfifty-live miles per hour. I shall\nmake the trip as soon or my first\nship is built to show that it is feasible.\"\nOther services proposed are from\nLondon to Paris, Vienna, Rome and\nSt. Petersburg.\nAs an earnest of Baron Roenne's\nIntentions, it may be stated that a\ntract of about 100 acres of land for\nthe erection of aerial stations and\ndocks has already been secured, and\nthat workmen will shortly be employed day and night upon the construction of the first aerial liner.\nLATEST IN AIRSHIPS\nDesigned to Cross Atlantic in Face of\nStrong Head Wind in 72 Hours\nThe\nWashington Cafe\nA PLACE TO EAT\nSeats For Ladies\nEverything Clean and Tasty\nPrices Reasonable\nW.

Gracey, of the\nUnited States, transmits the following report regarding the increase In\nshipping at iTsingtan and the improved mall connections with the interior\nof China and foreign countries:\u00E2\u0080\u0094\n\"The annual report of the Chinese\ncustoms showB an Increase in the\nnumber of ships entering and clearing of 82 vessels last year, having\nrisen from 445 in 190.8 to 627 in\n1909, and an increase in tonnage of\n154,046 tons, rising from 551,971;\ntons in the former year to 706,017\nIn 1909.\n\"This increase is caused principally by increased exports to Vladivostok, to which place large i numbers\nof cattle are being shipped, and\npartially to the extensive peanut\ntrade carried on with Europe.\n\"The intermediate steamers of the\nPeninsula and Oriental Steamship\nCompany, a British company, call\nhere monthly In transit to Europe;\nthe regular line Hamburg-American\nships make this a port of call; and\nthe Nippon Yusen Kaishn ships for\nEurope all come here en route,\nTwelve tank steamers and two sailing vessels called here with kerosene\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 \u00E2\u0096\u00A0il in hulk and tins. \"\"^!3H\n\"During the government's fiscal\nyear from October, 1908, to October,\n1909, forty-three vessels ran from\nTsingtau direct to Vladivostok, an\nIncrease of 60 to 70 per cent over\nthe previous year. Direct communication with Japan has also been established by a Japanese shipping\ncompany.\n\"Early in 1910 the Hamburg-\nAmerican line established improved\nconnections with the north and south\nso that a regular bi-weekly service\nIs carried on between Shanghai,\nDalny and Tientsin, giving quick\nthrough connection with the Trans-\nSiberian railway. Malls from Europe\nare received and dispatched from\nTsingtau twice weekly via Siberia\nand give a fourteen days' regular\nservice from this city to Berlin and\nParis; fourteen and a half days to\nLondon.\n\"Mall service with the interior has\nalso been considerably Improved. In\nMen of science are generally\nagreed that birds are nature's great\ncheck on the excess of insects, and\nthat they maintain the balance between plant and insect life, says\nHarper's Weekly. Ten thousand\ncaterpillars, it has been estimated,\ncould destroy every blade of grass\non an area of cultivated land. The\ninsect population of a single cherry\ntree infected with aphides has been\nestimated by a prominent entomologist at no less than 12,000,000. The\nbird population of cultivated country districts has been estimated at\nfrom 700 to 1,000 per square mile.\nThis Is small compared with the\nnumber of insects, yet as eaeh btfi\nconsumes hundreds of Insects everf\nday the latter are prevented from becoming the scourge they would be,\nbut for their feathered eusmle*\nTHE LEADERS OF ALL STOCK\nCOMPANIES\nFred Stork\nGeneral Hardware\n...Complete Line of...\nVALVES\nPipe and Pipe Fittings\nGrand Patri^tic\Scotch Concert\nand Dance\nTO HE GIVEN IN THE MoINTYRE HALL\nDominion Pay, Friday, July 1st\nCONCERT COMMENCING 8:15; DANCE 10:30 P.M.\nCONCERT .TICKETS 75c AND 4U.00 EACH\nDANCE TICKETS SI A COUPLE\nPROGRAMME i\nSelection\u00E2\u0080\u0094\"Union Jack\" .

Petitions are being better\nsigned during the past few days and\nthere Is a prospect that the necessary one-tenth of the property may\nbe represented In the signatures\nwhich will thus make it mandatory\nupon the city council to submit a\nbylaw for the purpose of acquiring\nthe franchise.\nA. J. Morris, president of the\nBoard of Trade, who for two weeks\nhas been seeking signatures, reports\nthat he has had quite a number of\nadditions to the petitions he holds\nin his office, but he thinks there\nmust be a much wider interest manifested if the necessary one-tenth is\nto be obtained.\nThere seems to be a deckled feeling in favor of the city acquiring\nthe franchise, but considerable\napathy in the signing of the petitions. Every property owner, whether he holds little or much real estate, who wants to see a municipally\nowned telephone should sign the\npetitions which are in the City Hall,\nand in quite a few other offices.\n o-^\t\nTHE GREAT NORTH\nPrince Rupert seems distined to\nhave as tributary to her and supplementary to the shipping Interests\nthat are ot develop, the richest areas\nIn British Columbia from an agricultural standpoint. The fruit districts of Kitsumkallum, of Copper\nRiver and various other valleys to\nbe opened up by the G. T. P., the vast\nranching district which the Bulkley\nwill provide are becoming recognized\nnow and settlement is beginning to\nfollow.\nOn the Queen Charlotte Islands,\nhowever, there appears to be a vast\narea which is second to none in the\nprovince in the matter of its agricultural possibilities alone. These\nIslands seem destined to become to\nthe northern districts what Vancouver Island In part is to the southern portion of the British Columbia\ncoast\u00E2\u0080\u0094the fruit producing district.\nThose who have recently visited\nthe Queen Charlottes are more than\ndelighted with the prospects. The\nclimate, tempered by the Japan current that passes near the islands, Is\ncapable of producing all the fruits\nwhich are grown farther south. The\nsoil, a remarkably rich one, overspreads a sand gravel and clay subsoil ensuring a continuance of its\nfertility.\nThe development of these islands\nin all lines Is very closely tied up\nwith the future prosperity of Prince\nRupert. The Islands will with very\nadvance made by the communities\nthere, contribute to the trade of\nPrince Rupert. Practically all their\nThe fast steamer Prince Rupert\nreached port last evening on her\nthird trip to the city without any\nregular mail on board. The only\nmail brought was that dropped on\nboard the steamer.
