M. Campbell\nin the chair, to make arrangements for\nthe annual Celebration at Massett on\nJuly lst. Owing to the short notice\ngiven the attendance from outside\npoints was small, but it was felt and\nhoped that all the different centres\nwould heartily co-operate to ensure a\ngood time for all, young and old, on\nCanada's special day of rejoicing. The\nfollowing committees were appointed\nto act and empowered to add to their\nnumbers as they saw fit:\nEntertainment and Sports\u00E2\u0080\u0094Messrs.\nRichards, Orr, Batchelor, McGregor,\nDr. Graves, W.'J. Hughes, J. McMullen,\nC. Cornie, W. Graef and Thos. Deasy.\nFinance\u00E2\u0080\u0094Messrs. Martin (chairman),\nS. Ives, Kennedy, Wanless, Wilson,\nCampbell, Spence, Hicks, Robertson,\nGauld and Baker.\nMr. Charles Harrison was unanimously appointed chairman ex-officio\nof all committees and A. E. Jessup\ngeneral secretary.\nArrangements will be made so that\npeople will be able to attend from all\noutside points.\nProposed Excursion to Massett.\nDuring the visit of General-agent A.\nDavidson, of the G.T.P. Company, this\nweek a suggestion was made of an excursion from Prince Rupert to Massett.\nHe was .favorable to the idea and\nstated that he would be pleased to consider the question. We would direct\nthe attention of the Committee to this\nmatter and call attention to the fact\nthat the lst July falls on Wednesday.\nWould it not be advisable to have the\nCompany alter the date of arriving\none day, give a rednced rate and allow\nthe excursionists time to see the\nsports and visit the beauty spots in the\nneighborhood? It is only an eight-\nhour run from Prince Rupert; itismore\nthan likely that it will be the pleasant-\nest kind of weather; the peninsula will\nbe covered with flowers and have on\nits most attractive dress, and the visitors would be sure of a welcome.\nMassett has attractions that cannot be\nfound elsewhere and many would view,\nfor the first time, the beautiful Inlet\nand the quaint Indian reserve of the\nHaidas. It might eveu be in order to\nhave the band present, in uniform\u00E2\u0080\u0094an\nattraction that the Prince Rupert\npeople still lack.\n o\t\nIf you are thinking of Insurance of\nany kind\u00E2\u0080\u0094fire, life, accident or general,\nsee A. E. Jessup, at the Islander Office,\nMassett.\nAttractions For\nPrince Rupert Fair\nThe Northern British Columbia\nAgricultural and Industrial Association\nis making great preparations for this\nyear's Exhibition, which will be held\nat Prince Rupert on September 30th,\nOctober lst and 2nd.\nPlans for a magnificent building 200\nfeet long by 100 feet wide have been\ngot out by Mr. J. Gilmore, an architect\nwho has recently taken up his residence\nin Prince Rupert. This building is to\nhave 10,000 feet of floor space available\nfor this year's Exhibition, in addition\nto the balconies.\nThe directors are at the present time\nin negotiation with a New York firm\nfor the engagement of experts to give\nflying displays on the newest form of\naeroplane.\nGreat interest is taken locally in the\nwork of a young citizen (Mr. F. Bru-\nland) who intends to fly in a machine\nmade by himself. It will be remembered that last year Mr. Bruland was\nawarded fiist prize in Class 27, Section\n10, for the model of an aeroplane built\nby himself.\nThe question of engaging Miss\nDorothy De Venda, the celebrated\nparachute performer, for a balloon\nascension is also under consideration.\nA special feature is being made this\nyear of the tug-of-war, to be pulled on\ncleats in the main building. Teams of\nsix men, open to all comers. For this\na substantial cash prize is offered.\nAmongst the other attractions the\ndirectors are hoping to secure Boyd &\nOgle's Circus Company, which includes\n150 performing animals. The best-\nknown turn in this performance is King\nPharaoh, \"The Human-brained Pony.\"\nArrangements are being made with\nthe railway and steamship companies\nfor the convenience of those coming\nfrom distant points.\nA large silver cup is being offered\nfor the winning baseball team and\nanother for the best football team.\nBoth of these events are open to all\ncomers from Northern British Columbia.\nThere are to be rifle shooting contests and also trap shooting at clay\npigeons.\nSeveral Indian bands have entered\nfor competition.\nThe prize list is increased this year\nto cover some classes which were not\nincluded last year.\nNineteen new members have joined\nthe Association in the last few days.\nThe annual subscription is only one\ndollar, which confers the full privileges\nof membership. The very attractive\nmembership badge will be forwarded to\neach new member on receipt of the\nsubscription.\nEmpress Of Ireland\nLost With 1,000 Lives\nThe news is flashed over the Pacific\nCoast of the sinking of the C.P.R. s.s.\nEmpress of Ireland, off the coast of\nNewfoundland, after a collision with a\ncollier. She sank in 20 minutes and\nabout one thousand lives were lost.\nThe collier picked up about 40 people.\n o\t\nMr. J. C. Frizell of Sonoma, Cal., returned to the Island on the last boat.\nHe left for his pre-emption near White\nRiver, where he is having a house built.\nH. A. Swain is hauling the lumber from\nMassett.\nThe third reading of the Home Rule\nBill passed the British House of Commons by a majority of 77.

She\nbrought a man in who had been severly\nburned in the arms and face by a powder\nexplosion on board while off Naden\nHarbor. He is stopping at the White\nInn under the care of Dr. Graves.\nThe following registered at the Hotel\nSt. Ives during the week: W. J. H.\nHolmes, H. C. Stevenson. C. N. Colchester, A. McAnally, W. Stone, F.\nShaw, D. H. Emmerson, J. Brooks, T.\nThomas, C.Keller, all of Victoria; C. L.\nBurtch, North Vancouver; D. E. Evans,\nNadu; J. Manson, Prince Rupert.\nThe s.s. British Empire, Capt. Anderson, was in on Friday. She brought a\nman who had been cut about the head\nby a case of salmon uhich was in some\nway dropped upon him while loading at\nNaden Harbor. After his injuries had\nbeen attended to by Dr. Graves, the\nsteamer left for #Sewall and Port\nClements to discharge powder\nMr. Holmes, B.C.L.S., a son of Col.\nHolmes, with a party of surveyors,\narrived on the Prince Albert and left\non Wednesday for the west coast.\nThey will engage in survey work\nduring the summer on the oil locations\nopposite Frederick Island.

His rejuvenated\nlaunch, the Gasican, looks like a newly-\ncoined six-bit piece.\nThe picnic which Mr. and Mrs. Deasy\nintended giving on Victoria Day had to\nbe abandoned because of the squally\nweather. Instead of this a party was\nheld in their residence. A number from\nMassett and other Inlet points availed\nthemselves of the bounteous hospitality\nprovided, and returned home declaring\nthat the 24th had been kept right\nroyally at the Indian Agency.\n%!

Such matters as roads\nand trails, which vitally affect all the\npeople no matter what their political\ncreed, should be regarded from other\nthan a political standpoint, and any administration must look for and should\nwelcome criticism both from within\nand without its ranks. On the Islands\nwe are afflicted with what might be\ntermed a \"Star Chamber\"' method of\ndealing with these things. It is impossible to get information as to proposed plans and expenditures, and any\neffort to do so is met with friendly\ncontempt. There is no attempt made,\napparently, to apportion the appropriations with any regard for a per\ncapita expenditure. Thus, in a year\nlike the present when work of every\nkind is scarce and the road appropriations reduced, we find the plums being\ndropped into the places needing them\nthe least. At the time of writing,\nMay 28th, the wave of toad activity\nwhich started at the south end has\nslowly rolled north and has now touched\nWoden River. Eventual y, no doubt,\nit will reach the Drizzle Lake, Mass.ett\nand Tow Hill settlements. We are\nreliably informed that some five thousand dollars are being expended to improve and continue a road running\nfrom Lawn Hill to the Coal Drill operating under the direction of Mr. F. C.\nWright. There is an existing wagon\nroad for the first five miles of this\nroute, so presumably the money will be\nspent on a continuation of this through\nland on which, as far as we are able to\ndiscover, there are no settlers at present. Whilst we have no quarrel with\nbuilding roads in this or any other\nparticular section, we think that in\nthis year particularly the m\u00C2\u00A9ney should\nbe expended so as to do the greatest\ngood to the greatest number. It is a\nfact beyond dispute that a line drawn\nfrom Gold Creek on the east, coast due\nwest to a point on the Yakoun River\nabout two miles south of Port Clements\nwill show that seventy-five per cent,\nof the settlers on the Island live north\nof this line. It would be interesting to\nsee a statement showing the expenditures made at the different points on\nGraham Island since, say, 1908, when\nroad and trail work was regularly instituted. We are not going to attempt\nto place the blame for these and other\nconditions which exist locally in connection with the road work.

To verify\nmy statement in regard to this wild\nbull I can refer to Mr. James White,\nwho killed him north of Amber Lake\nafter trailing him for two days; also to\nThomas Ray of the Tl-ell, who was\nthere and helped pack him over the\nlake and to the east coast. The rancher on the next quarter to me had his\ncattle corralled for some time this\nwinter in heavy salal and they cleaned\nit all up inside the fence; this stock\nwas imported two years ago and are in\ngood condition this spring. But the\n\"Old Timer,\" like many other amateur\nwriters, writes first, then looks up his\nsubject.\n\u00C2\u00A7ome people love to travel through\nthe Indian villages on a hard-beaten\nroad or up and down the Inlet in a boat\nwith the tide, meet the steamers at\nMassett and pose as an old timer.

C.\nWhat's the matter with you\nPessimists?\nIf you knew as much as I do about the future of Delkatlah Bay\nyou would be chasing me up with payments on your lots.\nThe farming may be a little slow in developing, and the coal seams\nhard to trace in paying quantities, but Delkatlah is on the eve of development as a Winter Tourist Resort which will place it only second to Prince\nRupert in Northern British Columbia.\nI am not a prophet, for such prophecy only requires the application of\nordinary common sense.\nBuying lots in Delkatlah is like sowing seed\u00E2\u0080\u0094the money disappears like\nthe seed in the ground only to spring up and yield ten fold.\nCanada needs no summer resort, it has all the summer climate it wants,\nbut from Nova Scotia to the Rockies it needs a winter climate, and that's\nwhat we have. The Spring is the time to sow seed. Sow your wages in a\nlot at the rate of $5.00 a month and have a home in town.\nImmediately back of Delkatlah pre-emptions are being taken up at the\nrate of ten a week. That will soon increase values.\nChas. M. Wilson, Owner, Delkatlah\nGraham Island Information Bureau, Prince Rupert, Agents\nLUMBER\nLUMBER\nW. L.
