Matter Comes Up At City Council Tonight. After a survey of the boilers and plant of the burned out B. C. Tie and Lumber Co's mill on Saturday, and a further inspection of the pole line, the mayor and council with Messrs. G. I. Wilson, James Ironside and Robert Kelly held an impromptu meeting in the afternoon to discuss the proposed purchase by the city of this plant which under charter it is incumbent on the city to buy. "The boilers" said the mayor this morning, "and some portions of the plant are apparently in fairly good and serviceable condition, and no doubt the pole line can be made use of. It is of course compulsory under the charter that the city Bhould purchase this plant, and after considering its value to us we decided to make an offer, to the gentlemen representing the B. C. Tie and Lumber Co., of $5,500 for the serviceable portions of the plant and pole line. This offer was made at the council's impromptu meeting on Saturday, as the party were anxious to get away by the Prince George. The offer was not, however, made formally according to council procedure rules. Most of the council members were present, and most of the members of the telephone and lighting committee. The proposal to purchase the B. C. Tie and Lumber Co's salved plant and pole line at $6,500 has been formally referred to the Telephone and Lighting Committee for report, but it is understood that the committee is to recommend this purchase. "It is also understood that the representatives of the B. C. Tie and Lumber Co., have accepted informally, and will formally accept the city's offer. The matter will come up before the council tonight in the form of the Telephone and Lighting committee's report and recommendation, and on the return of M. G. I. Wilson with Mr. Ironside and Mr. Kelly from Stewart the final arrangements affecting the purchase will j be concluded." INDUSTRY FOR PRINCE RUPERT JAMES CARRUTHERS PARTNER OF SIR GEORGE DOUGHTY Company Has Already Been Formed With Capital of a Million to Establish Canadian Fisheries and Cold' Storage Company Here. FLYING OVER IRISH SEA Aviator Comes Within Three Hundred Yards of Succeeding (Special to the Optimist) • London, Sept. 12.—Aviator Lorainp. who is also a well known actor, failed in his attempt to fly across the Irish Sea by only three hundred yards. He claims that his gasoline tank leaked. He announc es that he will make the attempt again in another week. That a fishing industry on a very big scale is to be established at Prince Rupert is now something more than a possibility, says the Vancouver Province. A company has been formed under the designation of the Canadian Fisheries and Cold Storage Company with a capital of $1,000,000} and with such men as Sir George Doughty and Mr. James Carruthers a grain exporter of Montreal, behind the scheme,there is some guarantee of a permanent and paying industry for Prince Rupert. Mr. James Carruthers is one of the few outsiders who accompanied the Grand Trunk Pacific party on its trip to the north and to a Province representative at the Hotel Vancouver he made known his scheme to establish fisheries off Prince Rupert. He stated that already 1000 feet of frontage have been, secured on the wharf at Prince Rupert, and he is very sanguine as to the successful outcome of the scheme. Not only Prince Rupert or even British Columbia will be benifitted, he said, but the whole of the Dominion will feel the effect. Mr. Carruthers expressed the opinion that the fisheries at Prince Rupert have been overlooked and neglected by capitalists and he thinks the scheme inaugurated by Sir George Doughty will give an impetus to the industry which has great possibilities and will stand tremendous expansion. Mr. Carruthers criticised the attitude of the Prince Rupert city council in its attitude to the G. T. P. when assessing its property for taxation. He considered it foolish for Prince Rupert, so early in its career, to commence to fight a big corporation which, after all, made it possible for Prince Rupert to exist and predicted for the city a similar fate as met Toronto when it fought the railway companies. MANUFACTURERS ON TOUR CONGRESS OF UNION LABOR Were Guests of the City of Arthur This Morning Port (Special to the Optimist) Port Arthur, Ont., Sept. 12—The members of the Canadian Manufacturers' association, en route to Vancouver, are guests of the city today. They will visit Fort William, where the trade and labor congress is in session, this afternoon, and leave there for the west this evening. This morning they visited the most important of the industries, and inspected the harbor, the head of the lake and other points of interest.

(Special to the Optimist) London, Sept. 12.—The largest labor congress in the history of Great Britain convened at Sheffield this morning. President Haslam created great interest by demanding the return of the tax-levying privilege wgich was taken away by the decision on the Osborne case. Some excitment was caused by an unidentified delegate objecting to the address to the lord mayor. He shouted denunciations at him as an enemy and not a friend of organized labor. TWENTY-SIXTH ANNUAL GATHERING NOTABLE ONE Over Thousand Delegates in Attendance.—Greater Victories Predicted For Organized Labor in Canada, Britain and United States (Special to the Optimist) Fort William, Ont., Sept. 12.—The twenty-sixth annual trade and labor congress of Canada opened here this morning. President William Glocking said the work of the congress last year was the most profitable in the history of the body and predicted greater victories for organized labor this year in Canada, Great Britain and the United States. There are one thousand and forty-six delegates here, which is the largest congress ever held and the West, in particular has the best representation it has ever had.

(Special to the Optimist) London, Sept. 12.—Lord Brassey has returned from Canada and as a result of his study there of the problems produced by the emigration question, he expresses his belief that the difficulties- sorrounding the obtaining of employment in England can be settled and over come by sending an increased number of young men over seas. He is assured that Canada would be pleased to receive as many as could be sent over under proper regulations. Two most distinguished visitors arrived on the steamer Prince George yesterday, in the persons of Sir Mackenzie Bowell and J. S. Willison, edi- of the Toronto News. The latteJ was accompanied by Mrs. Willison, and they were met at the wharf by William Wright, of this city, a nephew, and T. D. Pattullo. They were escorted to the hack and driven around town and to the residence of Mr. Pattullo, where they were entertained. Later, Mr. Willison proceded on to Stewart with Sir Mackenzie Bowell, Mrs. Willison remaining here. John Stephen Willison is one of the foremost men of Canada and almost as well known as Sir Wilfrid himself both at home and abroad. He was for many years the editor of the Toronto Globe and was one of the founders of the Toronto News, of which he still retains the editorship. Early this year he accepted the position of correspondent of the London Times, and it is in this capacity, and also as a vacation, that he is paying a visit to Prince Rupert. A good part of his time this year will be taken up in lecturing tours, several engagements having already been made for him in the United States. He is the author of "Sir Wilfrid Laurier and the Liberal Party," one of the ablest political handbooks that has ever been published, and also of "The Railway Question in Canada," Personally he is tall, with a close-cropped grey beard and features of fine, intellectual force and vigor. His travelling companion, Sir Mackenzie Bowell, sports a full white beard and could not fail to be recognized any where from the many portraits of him published during his long career of prominence. He is also an editor, being also the owner of the Belleville Intelligencer. He resigned that position when he entered the cabinet of Sir John A. Masdonald in 1878, but after Sir Wilfrid became premier he returned to it. He was the leader of the opposition in the senate until 1906, when he retired. He organized the Colonial Conference in June 1896 and was chosen chairman of that important historical event. He was created K. C. M. G. in 1896. Sir Mackenzie was the guest of Mayor Stork last night and proceeded on to Stewart. Whether he will stay for a few days or go right on with the boat this evening, he will decide on his way back from Stewart. Seek Publicity in the Air. It has been suggested that the Publicity Club and the Board of Trade, or one of them, should offer a prize of ten thousand dollars to the first aviator who lands here from Vancouver, the tail of the suggestion being that Vancouver would be glad to offer the City Lots Change Hands Messrs. M. M. Stephens & Co., Ltd., have disposed of Lots 17 and 18, in Block 19, Section Six for the sum of $2,000. E. Duke is the purchaser and the lots of which he becomes owner occupy an excellent situation on Seventh avenue near the new school. Musical Metlakatla The organ used in connection with the work of the church of England Mission at Metlakatla got rather shaky on its notes recently and Rev. J. H. Keen who has charge of the mission sent over to Prince Rupert for Harry C. Evans to adjust matters. While at Metlakatla Mr. Evans found his services as piano tuner largely in request and he returned to Prince Rupert having left Metlakatla's musical community more tuneful than ever.

With more than 900 passengers in the cabins, the staterooms were all taken. In the steerage of the Lusitania, which came in today, was Judge Town- send of Kansas City, and his family of six. They offered any price for staterooms, but could not get them. A director of a local trust company and a public service corporation also came over in the steerage because all the cabins were filled. By actual count there were 420 Americans among the 1,124 steerage passengers.

Speaking of Sir George Doughty's proposition to establish a large fishing plant at Prince Rupert Mr. Lord, who has had sixteen years experience of fishing on this coast and in this vicinity, says he has no doubt of the success of such an enterprise, and that it would start many fishing villages along the coast as soon as there was a large depot established where the fishermen could find a market for their catch. There is plenty of what Sir George calls white fish, herring and cod in large quantity and plenty of bass, but he did not know about haddock and he had scarcely ever seen a shad. Of bass there was plenty of the finest kind and every variety, and also of cod. The cod caught from the dock were really Alaskan cod though they did not have a beard.

Templeman concerning Prince Rupert and one can already see the keen rivalry which will soon exist between this city of the north and the cities on the sound. The' World says : "For Vancouver to be jealous of Prince Rupert would be the height of absurdity; for the Hon. William Templeman to institute a comparison between Vancouver and Prince Rupert to the disadvantage of Vancouver, eVen in course of a political speech, is bad form. There have been times when relations between Vancouver and Victoria have not been of the most cordial description on all questions; it is in the nature of things that questions should arise on which it is impossible for a common point of view, a viewpoint common to the two cities, to be reached, and Mr. Templeman comes from Victoria, "but the comparison which Mr. Templeman made between Vancouver and Prince Rupert, the other evening, does not stop short of being unfriendly to Victoria, as well as to Vancouver. According to the Prince Rupert press, Mr. Templeman said: "There was more reason to believe that Prince Rupert would have 100,000 of a population in twenty years than that Vancouver would have had it in that time. There was a far richer country contiguous to Prince Rupert than had Vancouver. It was richer in minerals, in coal, silver etc. It had larger fisheries in the Skeena than in the Fraser, and the fact that the Skeena was altogether under the control of Canada made it easier to conserve the fishing. It had the greatest deep sea fisheries, and the prairies back of it were rich," "At Sir Wilfrid Laurier's meeting in the Horse Show building, a week or two ago, Mr. Templeman was eloquent in his tribute to Vancouver as a great city. Can it be that Mr. Templeman realizes that in the race for greatness Victoria is rapidly lapsing into the position of an "also ran" and that he is bound to find a rival for Vancouver, even if the search takes some four hundred miles north of friendly? "We have no desire to speak disparagingly of Prince Rupert, a town which some of the ablest pioneers in the province are busy a-building. Its natural resources are rich, and its opportunities of growth arc considerable; but it may be questioned if there is one man in Vancouver who would say less for Victoria."

One cannot read of the desperate struggles of the fire-fighters j without deep admiration for all who took their lives in their hands and set out to check the ravages of the hungry monster; nor read of brave men overcome by a foe swifter than the eagle, and showing less mercy, without feeling the greatest pity for their fate, and truest sympathy with those who have lost brave husbands and sons and brothers. Many a hero perished with no eye to see his gallantry in those terrible waves of fire, meeting a death, where duty placed him, that the bravest might well quail before. Fire is the arch-enemy of every settlement in a new country of thick woods or wide prairies, and a terrible power it in. To a superstitious mind fire is the avenging spirit of the forest which, disturbed in the sovereignty of years, consumes itself and those who intrude upon its peace rather than yield to the settler's axe. A terrible power ineded. Such ghastly tragedies as this summer has brought should surely move the authorities to take strong preventive measures without loss of time, so that there may never be a repetition of the horrors of 1910. A great deal might be done to lessen the risk. In the meantime many widows and fatherless children weep, and there is great distress among the homeless.

It is as nearly sure as anything earthly can be.'' Bishop Henry C. Potter. "Life Insurance has advantages, especially to persons of small means, which it does not seem easy to over- slate. To those of my own profession it furnishes a method of laying by for 'a rainy day' of all the most practicable and effectual." President Wm. H.

All a man can do under existing circumstances to safeguard his family is to get his life insured." Hon.

M. Rice & Co., of Seattle having reached Quesnel several days ago. The men are now en route to the coast. Mr. Wolkenstein, upon his departure from Victoria a month or so ago, promised to communicate with Premier McBride at an early date, stating specifically what proposition it is that his company desires to present to the government with a view to the future securing of some measure of assistance for the road.

Holman-Hunt, who was 83 years old and the only survivor of the dis-J' tinguished group of three painters who became notable as the founders of the so-called pre-Raphaelite movement, has not been in good health for many months. A year ago he was seriously ill, but recovered. He was born in London in 1827 and exhibited his first picture in 1846. He was one of the first members of the Order of Merit. His reputation as a painter was very high in certain circles in England. Among his best known works are "The Light of the World," "The Saviour in the Temple," "The Shadow of Death," and "The Triumph of Innocents." The Boscowitz S. S.

It's good to be living and strong! It's fine to be chaffing and joking and laughing.andchortling a tra-la-Ja son g It's great to be working like blitzen and jerking your living from out of the soil. Most all the repining and grunting and whining is done by the loafers, you'll note; the toilers and tillers, old industry's pillars, no time to complaining devote; they skirmiBh and rustle, they hump and they hustle, and put up their hay in the sun, they mow and they garner and don't give a darn or a whoop for the indolent one. Such fellows are useful; they're worth a caboose full of men who have nothing to do but grunt all together concerning the weather, the crops, and the govt, too. I tell you, dear chappy, if you would be happy, you'll have to get busy and work; there isn't much pleasure for people of leisure, there isn't much use for a shirk. The man who is lazy drives busy men crazy, and over the transom he's hurled; but things keep a coming to folks who are humming, and this is a bully old world.

Vancouver, B. C, Sept. 9.—That the completion of the Grand Trunk Pacific railway through Northern British Columbia may be delayed a year or two became apparent to railway men here today, when it became known that no effort would be made to get under contract this year a large section between Aldermere and Tete Juane Cache. All the rest of the line is now under contract, and it was expected that on the present trip President Hays, of the Grand Trunk Pacific, would announce the awarding of the contract- It was a foregone conclusion that this three-hundred-mile stretch would go to Foley, Welch & Stewart, who are building all the other parts of the line from Edmonton to the coast. They have material and steamers on the ground. The reason for the delay is the scarcity of labor, and the deadlock that has arisen between the railway company and the British Columbia government on the Oriental employment question. Up to the time of his return to Vancouver from Prince Rupert, it is understood, President Hays intended to award the final contract, but he was met here by the declaration of Contractor J. W. Stewart that he did not care to take up any more work and that so far as he was concerned he would care for further work by building westward from Edmonton rather than East from Prince Rupert. In order to finish the new transcontinental on time in 1913 it would be necessary to rush work from both end. It is admitted that dropping it at this end will cost two gears' delay. In Victoria last week Premier McBride is said to have forestalled any application of the railway company for the introduction of Oriental labor by coming out with a declaration that the agreement for white labor only would be strictly adhered to. Labor is scarce and expensive on the grade east of Prince Rupert, and the contractors are credited with now operating at a loss of hundreds of dollars a day. NEW BUILDING HAYS ON PRINCE RUPERT "A Seaport That Will Rival Any On Pacific Coaat". Just before President Hays started for the east on Wednesday he was interviewed at length by the Vancouver News Advertiser. In the course of the interview is the following: Mr. Hays is specially struck with the great future of the city of Prince Rupert. He declared last night that in the course of a few years the present town would be a large city, and that within the next decade it would be the metropolis of northern British Columbia, the commercial, social and business centre of that section of the province, a great railroad and manufacturing town, and a seaport that would rival any on the Pacific coast. "Prince Rupert is destined to become a great city," said Mr. Hays, "and it will be only a matter of a few years after the completion of the road that it is one of the world's important seaports and markets. Prince Rupert will be to northern British Columbia what Vancouver is to the southern section of the province, and I do not think that the trade of either will interfere with the other. As a whole, I am optimistic, and think that, with the labor question once settled, we will have clear sailing. I am delighted with my trip, and have enjoyed it much. It has been both an outing and a tour of inspection for me, and has dome me a great deal of good." NEW FURNITURE MODERN APPOINTMENTS HOT AND COLD WATER IN EVERY ROOM SAVOY HOTEL A. J.

GOLD ON BANDITS' TRAIL Posse Trace Bank Robber by Meant of Coins on Path Morenci, Ariz., Sept.- 7.—Along a trail over hills, marked by gold and silver fallen from bags of stolen treasure, a posse of sheriffs, deputies and citizens last night pursued a bandit who held up the Gaila Valley bank yesterday and fled with $3500 taken from the cash drawer. Thirty-five thousand dollars stored in the vaults was saved by Cashier J. C. Efferson, who told the robber he did not know the combination. Sweeping the contents of the cash drawer into sacks he rushed out, mounted his horse, and raced away, exchanging a fusillade of shots with the cashier and the latter's assistant, S. E. Tyler. Two small sacks of coin from the bank have been recovered. The bandit crossed the Frisco river hard pressed by his pursuers.

SEVEN BOATS A WEEK STOP AT SEALEY AT SEALEY-SUPPLY BASE OF THE BULKLEY VALLEY All through the country of the Upper Skeena and through the Bulkley valley as well as here in Prince Rupert great attention is being given to the town of Sealey. Located as is on both the river and the railroad it is in a position to go forward rapidly. With the pay station and general warehouses of Foley Welch & Stewart on the townsite and with every boat on the river calling there the fact that Sealey is fast becoming the big supply base • of the Bulkley Valley is not to be wondered at. When the road eventually reaches Sealey it will find a prosperous, thriving town of no mean importance destined to be the big business centre of Skeena River and Bulkley Valley district. CITY INDUSTRY EXPANDS New Owners and New Warehouse for Albion Bottling Works H. S. WALLACE Co. Limited T. L. Goodnough and George Leek of this city, together with some Vancouver parties, have purchased the interest of T. Z. Krizner, of the Albion Bottling Works, and will take possession at the end of this month. This concern has outgrown entirely its present quarters and it is the intention of its new owners to greatly improve the present plant. They will probably occupy the whole of the ground floor at present location and also construct a new warehouse in the rear. Mr. Krizner will probably lease the upper floors of his building, and will move to the Alice Arm and Goose Bay district, where he will devote his entire time to his mining interests, which have turned out good. KA1EN ISLAND CLUB OPENING CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 LABOR APLENTY COMING Contractors Now Feeling More Relieved About the Labor Famine eventually be done depends upon the financies. Treasurer Nickerson had this in mind while he and his confreers were showing the new house. He called the members to a meeting and had the satisfaction of informing them that the club had its informal opening entirely free of debt. This led several leading members to often solemnly remark—"Maxey, open another." So the business meeting became somewhat of a revival, and a number of those present sought the repentance bench and paid up. This was the date up to which members might join on payment of $25, but in the course of the discussion it was pointed out that several intending to join were not present and in the spirit of good fellowship that prevailed the time limit was extended to the 17th. After it will be $35 for a limited period, and after that the "ground floor" of membership will be closed. On the 23rd of this month the club is to be formally opened with a grand ball, and there is to be a dance every month during the winter months, by invitation of course. What strikes one in the new club particularly is the number of potted plants, many in flower, that have been presented. Martin O'Reilly has presented a couple of handsome pictures, and there will undoubtedly be many such notable donations before the formal opening on the 23rd. MEETING THIS EVENING Matter of Railway Taxation To Be Discussed By Board of Trade PHONE No. 9 Fulton Street • and Third Ave. SEALEY TOWNSITE agents: ALDOUS & ROBERTSON, Sealey P.O.Address - HAZELTON The general meeting of the board of trade will be held this evening, in the board's rooms, when a report of the council of the board on railway taxation will be received and discussed. Then probably a resolution will be passed making certain recommendations to the city council, and a committee appointed to present it and to discuss the matter with the aldermen. As the matter is one of great interest at the present time, it is believed there will be a large meeting of members of the board. Nearly one hundred workers for the railway construction were landed from the Prince George last night, and the greater part of them were dispatched up the line on the regular construction train this morning. Mr. Vernor Smith, manager for the contractors, said he thought there would be no more difficulty in securing enough men, as there would be two hundred coming in by the Prince Rupert on Wednesday and as many as could be sent on each succeeding Grand Trunk steamer. ARE THERE FIFTY PEOPLE IN PRINCE RUPERT Who appreciate strictly fresh ranch eggs. If so we are talking to them. We can safely say, without fear of contradiction, that the Exchange Grill, is the only house in Prince Rupert, IN ANY LINE, that receives regular shipments of fresh eggs direct from the ranch. Our weekly consignments amount to three cases, containing 1,080 eggs, which we guarantee to be absolutely fresh. This number is sufficient to provide breakfast for fifty people daily. We will serve them in the shell, and will pay a five dollar gold piece to the patron who discovers one egg which is not strictly right. We have the equipment and staff to give you speedy and courteous service. Exchange Grill 107-113.
