Although the weather last evening was so inclement, many accepted the invitation of the Mens Bible Class ud attended a social gathering held in St. Andrew's Church Hall The program was opened by the president of the class, Mr. W. H. Mitchell, in i happy speech. With a vein of Irish tit he described his difficulty in preparing his remarks, but, needless to say, the effort did not appear laborious.

The Rover boat house, owing to the fact that the tide was high, got swinging too dose inshore and as the tide ebbed got perched on the rock ledge along the railway grade, and remained there this morning with a tilt to seaward. Mr. Robinson was on board the float at the time it grounded, and had the machinery, etc., secured. It was not possible to haul off the float at the time it grounded as a tug was not available. At the next tide at midnight the Rover launch was in attendance but Mr. Robinson thought it advisable to wait for this afternoon's tide which gave a foot more water, and his men in attendance at 2 p.m. to haul the float off. The building was slightly strained but will not require any extensive repairing. The Davis boat house being attached to piles driven into the sea bed did not drift in shore when the squall was at its height and this morning occupied its usual position. , Several small boats were thrown ashore and some were damaged. No serious damage to gasoline launched is reported. A. Swanson's float drifted in shore a bit also during the squall, and boats there had to be looked after, but no serious damage was done. The Chieftain met the squall beyond The Slough and made heavy weather of it but reported no mishap. A scow of lumber in tow of the tug Edith for the Westholme Lumber company broke ^adrift during the squall, and was not recovered by this morning. Some citizens this morning were saying yesterday's little breeze was the "worst ever." If this is so then there isn't a great deal to worry about, is there?

MISS SAUNDERS HERE Talented Literary Lady Hare Gathering Information of the West Miss Marshall Saunders of Halifax, Nova Scotia, a lady whose animal stories have won her much fame in the literary world, is a visitor in Prince Rupert today together with her brother who is a bank manager in Moose Jaw, Sask. Mr. Marshall has been doing philanthropic work in connection with the associated Boards of Trade. Miss Saunders is picking up local color for Judge Young presided over the county court this morning when a number of cases came up for consideration. Of these that of Rex vs. Morrison has been allowed to stand over by consent as a witness is out of town whose affidavit is to be obtained. The case of Rex vs. Astoria has been adjourned till the next sittings as a witness is absent from the country. The case of Panvini vs. Christainsen & Brandt has been settled mutualiy/.' The appeal case of. Rex vs. Rosang came up for hearing, Alex. Manson for the crown. L. Patmore for the .appellant. The hearing for this morning was taken up with arguments between Messrs. Manson and Patmore over the question of whether or not the appellant had just cause of appeal. Mr. Manson agreed that the sole object of the appeal was to enable Mr. Patmore to bring in witnesses who had not been produced at the trial of the case before Magistrate McMullin, and declared that, according to his reading of the authorities on the subject this was inadmissable after counsel had closed his case - as Mr. Patmore had done. Mr. Patmore insisted that he was entirely within his rights in producing these new witnesses. He said that the case had been decided on the evidence of a man who admitted he was drunk, against that of a perfectly sober woman, and further called the court's attention to the fact that the court was entitled to admit fresh witnesses at discretion in appeal cases according to legal enactment. "Otherwise," he said, "what would be the use of the clause relating to the new witness, and what would be the sense in calling a fresh trial in cases of appeal?" Mr. Manson said the court should be very careful indeed about admitting fresh witnesses after counsel had distinctly said his case was closed. The question of the correct serving of notices of appeal to the Magistrates and others concerned was also argued minutely, and Judge Young gave the whole matter careful consideration. Alex. Manson held his ground firmly on all points wherein he differed from L. Patmore and Mr. Patmore waxed hot in argument ending by saying to Mr. Manson: "The city is not here to burke justice as you will find." The. case of Rex. vs. Rosang has been adjourned until Monday owing to the legal points in dispute about it, and after Judge Young had retired Messrs. Manson and Patmore were still actively arguing. Under the head of enquiries at last night's city council meeting Aid. Hilditch introduced a subject which came in for a good deal of discussion at a former meeting of the council, but which has not been mentioned of late, namely, the question of S. H. Watson's contract for grading the section of Second avenue beyond the junction, and the proposal that he should be approached regarding transferring his work to a section of Third avenue grading instead. "I met Mr. Watson the other day," said Aid. Hilditch, "and in conversation about this proposal discovered that Watson understands that the matter is all off. He aaid he had heard that the council considered it unnecessary now to change the contracts and did not want it done. I asked him whom he had heard say this, but he would not state any name." With this conversation in view Aid. Hilditch asked if the council had gone any further into this matter of changing the contracts and negotiating with Watson on the subject. Aid. Pattullo understood that Watson was to tender for a Third avenue section anyway, but Aid. Lynch said he believed this was not so. Aid. Pattullo then suggested that if Watson were not to offer for Third avenue grading he might still be transferred from the far out part of second avenue to a section of First avenue where important buildings were going up. The Mayor explained that he was satisfied that things were going as he had predicted at first, that all. the money necessary for all the grading proposed in Section One would be forthcoming, and that he did not therefore think it advisable to start up a new First avenue contract meanwhile when it would probably come up quite shortly in course. The transfer would probably only resolve itself eventually into their having to put Watson back on to finish Second avenue. The only thing the Mayor thought might be advisable still was to stop the work on Watson's contract at its present stage, and ascertain what remuneration the contractor required for the work already done. Aid. Barrow said that two avenues plugged up with grading contracts was enough at a time considering the traffic. After a little more general discussion on the subject Aid. Pattullo remarked that he thought by the time the council had got through debating the question the job would be completed. At which there was a smile all round and the matter was allowed to drop for the time being. Seattle, Oct. 15.���Messrs. Charles F. Munday, George Simmonds and Cornelius Christopher, all prominent Seattle men were arrested here late today on indictments returned by the Tacoma grand jury charging conspiracy to defraud the government in the Alaska coal cases. The accused were taken before the United States commissioner by whom they were released under bonds of $2,500 each. Warrants have also been issued for the arrest of Mr. Algernon H. Stacey, an Englishman, whose whereabouts are unknown, but who is believed to be in Alaska, and Messrs. Archie W. Shields and Earl S. Sigley. Mr. Sigley was private secretary to Mr. M. J.. Henry, the contractor who was building the Copper River and Northwestern railway in Alaska for the Guggenheim company. The accused men are charged with having conspired to defraud the government by fictitious entries in what are known as the Christopher group of seventy-four claims and the English group of eighty two claims. Both groups are situated in the Behring river district, near the famous Cunningham claims. It is charged that the alleged conspirators contrived to defraud the government out of coal lands valued at $200,000,000. Munday, who is a prominent Seattle attorney, and Stacey and Shields are implicated in. the English group. Christopher and Simmonds are in the Christopher group. Simmonds is a prominent Seattle lawyer and Christopher, a veteran of the civil war, is president of the mining company. It is declared that the action taken by the government today is but the beginning of general proceedings against alleged fraudulent claimants in nearly all of the numerous groups of coal claims in Alaska.

TELEPHONE MAN BURNED Accident to Employee on Sixth Street This Afternoon About three o'clock this afternoon while two of the workmen employed in making telephone wire connections on the pole line on Sixth street were aloft in the slung stage with some paraffin wax melting in a pot beside them.for insulation purposes, the -paraffin took five and blazing up burned one of the men pretty severely on the hand. He made a hurried descent from the stage by means of a rope and some excitement was caused among the passeres-by by the incident. It is understood that the man's injuries are not serious enough to keep him off the work or to necessitate the services of a doctor, but had he not acted promptly the flareup of the paraffin might have done more harm.

Smoke and ashes are rising a mile and a half above the crater, according to triangu- lations made by the Tahoma's officers. Flames are bursting from the cone, lava is flowing down the sides, and huge boulders are being thrown high into the air. A lake in the center of one of the Bogoslov islands is boiling, and dense clouds of steam rise from the caldron. The island was formerly a rendezvous for thousands of sea birds, all of which probably have' been killed. Not a live bird was visible from the Tahoma, but great numbers of dead ones floated in the sea. The Tahoma anchored ten miles from the volcano, not daring to approach nearer, the cutter's decks being covered with hot ashes even where she lay. The officers spent a whole day in viewing the magnificent spectacle of the troubled mountain, and in making photographs. While bound to Attu island early in September the Tahoma's officers noted recent and remarkable changes in the topography of the Bogoslov group, a new island having lifted its head where deep water- formerly had been, and other islands haying diminished A party of volunteers asked to be permitted to land on the islands and make observations until the cutter's southward trip in October, but Chief Engineer Bryan, who knows the freaks of Bogoslov, warned them of their terrible undertaking, and the proposed expedition was abandoned. If the explorers had remained on the islands they must have perished, for when the Tahoma returned the chief peak was ablaze, and the other islands in commotion. imposed or duties recovered from the firm or its members, the informant will be in line for the reward given by the government for evidence resulting in such conviction. "If the alleged frauds prove extensive, as the customs officials have stated, this reward will probably be between $100,000 and $500,000." MISSING BENEFACTOR Broker Who Promised Thirty Per Cent Without Possible Loss Despatches state that Mr. Sheldon, a peculiar kind of Montreal stock broker, has gonu away, leaving many sorrowful people who had placed money in his hands. Mr. Sheldon obtained a great reputation by promising that people who made investments through his office would make thirty or forty per cent, per month and never lose anything. He charged no commissions but paid himself by retaining one quarter of the profits. Not only did he promise them large profits but he paid them. All the newspapers, and all the financial people warned the public that he must be a deceiver since no one could make such profits honestly, but there was not a single one of his customers who was not satisfied. One man accepted the challenge so far as to ask Sheldon's clients to write to him. Twenty or thirty did so and not one of them had been disappointed in his returns from Mr. Sheldon's office. The Montreal Star attacked Sheldon, and one of the investors wrote to the Star to say that he had entrusted many sums of money, $8,000 in all, to Sheldon. He had received in cash profits $11,000 and still had $7,000 at his credit. That was a week ago. Now the despatches say that Sheldon is gone, and all the money he had on deposit has gone also. But the man who got eleven thousand for eight need not complain.

D. .Craig of Ottawa, working north of the Yukon river, succeeded in delimiting the international boundary line along the 141st meridian ot a point within one hundred miles of the Arctic ocean. The remainder of the work will be completed next year. Work was started this season forty miles north of the Yukon and owing to the favorable character of the country 190 miles of the boundary was covered. Sixty miles of this distance was marked by monuments. The season's work was not characterized by any noteworthy experience. Members of the party state that they did not see the big mountain reported by Mr. Riggs, the American representative, as surpassing Mount McKinley in height.

The plutocrat may hold hia sway, with pomp and bunting, but he is better than the jay who's always grunting!"���Walt Matm. London, Otf. 16.���A wine famine faces the world, and the lover of the lighter French and German wines will have to pay considerably more for them within the next week or so. There is always great anxiety at this period as to the vintage of France and Germany. Of those of Portugal and Spain the vintages are generally pretty sure, but in the case of the more northerly countries there is always considerable doubt as to whether the grapes will ripen. Last year, for example, even so late in the season, it was believed and said that there would be no Bordeaux wines, but by something like a miracle in the last fortnight of September there was a period of "brilliant sun shine and warmth, the grapes, about which there had been so much anxiety, ripened, and some very high-class wines that are now making good prices were produced. The Germans were cute enough to secure the bulk of this vintage, offering such inflated prices that the English wine merchats were beaten out of the field. This year, however, German cuteness and enterprise will be of no avail. There are no grapes to ripen. As reports received recently from the wine fields have indicated, the incessant rains and cold winds have spread disease among the grapes, weakened as the vines have been by a succession of bad summers, and nearly the entire crop is ruined. The position is as bad as this: From the Bordeaux country we shall have less than half the usual supply of clarets, as the wines here produced can be broadly described; from lower Burgundy there will be practically none at all; of the famous Chablis, beloved of the oyster epicure, there is only about 100 hogsheads to supply the whole world. Of what may be described as the grand, classical Burgundies, we only have an eighth of the usual supply. Some Facta About Portugal The area of Portugal is 35,400 square miles, about half the size of Manitoba, with a population of 5,423,132. In trade Portugal does not compare with Canada, the total exports and imports being less than 100,000,000 milreis, a milreis being slightly more than a dollar, while Canada's trade amounts to $600,000,000. The population is almost exclusively Roman, there being only 4491 Protestants and 481 Jews. Lisbon the capital, has a popluation of 358,000.

Thursday, Oct. 20 THE DAY OF SPECIALISTS This is the day of the specialist. The time was not many years ago when a jack-knife carpenter built a home complete; when the physician cured ills and pulled the family teeth; the storekeeper was probably barber, postmaster and grocer combined; while the newspaper man had to be a reporter, printer, pressman, politician and the sympathetic recipient of all men's woes. Yesterday one man tried to know it all; today each man tries to know one thing better than anyone else. The result is specialists, and the world is better for it. Today if a man builds a house he employs a dozen different kinds of artizans; there is a different doctor for every kind of disease, the only added privilege being that of pulling the patinet's leg; merchants carry only one line of foods or have specialists in charge of each department; while the newspaper shop, which is the pivotal point of this paragraph, has specialists from the editor's chair to the devil's pay envelope. A modern large daily has at least twenty departments, the employees in any one of which may be totally ignorant of the work in any of the others, yet they give better results and draw more pay than the all-round printer-journalists of yesteryear. Smaller dailies, like the Optimist and its print shop, have to be more modest in their organization. Yet the Optimist is made up on modern principles and has its staff of specialists. You do not have to visit the shop to see it���a glance at the paper or an order placed with the job department will do it. In old style printing shops a customer's copy is handed a printer who slaps it through with the imprint of one man's cleverness, or carelessness, as chance may have it. In the modern shop three or four experts will be in consultation on your job���even though it be just a bit of stationery. Maybe a line is changed, maybe it is just the difference of a little spacing, perhaps a color is altered or the job may be reset, but the finished product presented the customer contains experience and brains. It may cost a trifle more but the world today recognizes the value of quality. The successful man is he who. gets the highest attainment either in that which he produces or that which he purchases. That is why the world is producing specialists. TRUTH IS PROFITABLE Peeping Sam, the editor who claims to get his inspirations from the ash barrel, yesterday spread a little more of his ignorance of material things in the hash column of our four-page contemporary. He purports to announce the private business matters of the Optimist in giving his views of the late ownership, the present ownership and the future policy of this paper, whereas he is fortunate indeed if he possesses that information about his own paper. Instead of passing up the ill intent of the article the Optimist will be magnanimous and offer a gratuitous suggestion gathered from profitable experience in the business. If the envious editor will discover himself, whence he came and whither he goeth, and then steer a straight and sane course he may gain some prestige and profit. In the meantime the Optimist will continue to publish facts, honest criticism and do the bulk of Prince Rupert's (advertising and job printing. SUMMED UP BY AYLESWORTH minister of justice on fisheries DECISION Result of Hague Tribunal a Greatly Increased Cordality in Relations Between United States and Canada ���Credit for Canada'* Success. Ottawa, Oc*. 17.���How greatly Canadian-American relations have increased in cordiality was manifested here on Saturday when Hon. A. B. Aylesworth, Canadian minister of justice, addressed the Canadian Club on the subject of the recent fisheries arbitration at The Hague. Not only did his cordial references to the ability of his Canadian and British colleagues in the case arouse enthusiasm, but the audience, which included Sir Wilfrid Laurier, the Prime Minister; Sir Charles Fitzpatrick, chief justice of Canada, and many other eminent officials, warmly applauded his mention of the satisfaction which the verdict had given to both Canada and the United States. Canada's success Mr. Aylesworth attributed first to the excellence of the Canadian case and to the thoroughness if its preparation. For this he gives primary credit to Mr. John S. Ewart, K. C., who went to London before the abritration began and devoted his time exclusively to the caBe. He paid also a high tribute to Sir William Robson and Sir Robert Findley, designated as counsel by the British Government to outline the various points of the cose. He paid a com pliment to the consummate ability of the American counsel in arguing the American claim to immunity from local regulations in fisheries. The result of the case he declared could not fail to strengthen the feeling of devotion of Canada to the motherland. Sir Charles Fitzpatrick, who sat as one of the judges in the case, declared that if the verdict was satisfactory it was certa nly in a large measure due to the aid given the court by counsel on both sides. He paid an especially high tribute to the personality of his colleague on the bench in the cose, Judge George Gray of Delaware. Condensed Advertisements. F ARE YOU IN NEED OF HELP?

INSURANCE OF WORKERS On City Grading Contracts. Proposal By Large Insurance Firm The city solicitors in a letter to the council read last night called the attention of the Mayor and aldermen to a proposal by a large insurance firm through the Mack Realty and Insurance company of this city. The proposal is to the effect that the city should arrange for the insurance of the employees engaged in - the forthcoming grading operations under the Employers' Liability Act, by a large general scheme instead of having each contractor insure his own set of men. The present system is one of individual contractors, and the new proposal is stated by those putting it forward to be considerably more satisfactory as it would work automatically and become effective immediately each contract is signed. The policy would be based upon the amount of wages paid out to the workers as the various contracts were put in hand. The proposal was referred to the Streets, Works and Property committee for consideration and report, Aid. Hilditch wanting to be Bure, however, that it would come up for discussion in council later. CITY SEWER SYSTEM Preliminary Consideration of Matter By Streets Committee The question of the city sewerage system is still pending discussion by the city council. After a little informal mention of the matter and a reference to the proposal that the Streets, Works and Property committee should report on the matter, Aid. Lynch said that they would need to hear*, the city engineer's views of the matter before bringing in a report from the Streets committee. He also remarked that it was largely a matter of the financing of the work. The Mayor agreed that it was so to a certain extent, but there were other considerations as well, and Aid. Pattullo mentioned that the method of undertaking the work would also need to be considered. The Mayor thought the matter had better be left to the Streets, Works and Property committee in the first case to bring in a report on the question after consultation with the city engineer, and this proposal was agreed to.

This is shown, points out the Province, by the fact that the early aeronauts could ascend to a zone unattainable by their modern confreres because of a lack of oxygen. Thia brings up the ^question of the conservation of oxygen. In order not to exhaust the supply deep breathing should be restricted, and campaign spielers and platform. orators limited to a given number of cubic feet. Extravagant inhalation should be penalized and the oxygen consumer instructed to breathe only when absolutely necessary. SECOND MONTHLY BALL Kaien Island Club's Great Function Ia Tomorrow Evening . HIGHEST TIDE ON RECORD At Prince Rupert's Wharf Yesterday Afternoon What makes all the dressmakers and ladies' furnishing stores so busy just now is the great preparation being made for the second of the monthly dances to be given by the Kaien Island club. The last was an enjoyable affair in every way, but that was a first attempt on the part of the club, the building was new, and so was the whole machinery for entertaining. Many suggested improvements have since been made of a minor character and tomorrow night's function is to be a big stride toward perfection. Gray's orchestra has been engaged and an innovation has been made to the music in the addition of the snare drum, calculated not only to better mark the time but to add vivacity to the movement. PORT MANN BOOMING Martin O'Reilly Finds That Conservative Victoria Is Waking Up Martin O'Reilly, the merchant tailor, returned yesterday from a business trip to. Vancouv ., Victoria and Seattle. In the latter city he saw no signs of the great depression of which so much has been read in the newspapers. He found that business was fairly good in the Sound city. Por); Mann, he said, was attracting great attention. He believed this was only the. beginning of a great boom at that point that would for a time put Vancouver real estate speculation in the shade. He also found an unprecedented liveliness in Victoria, and thinks the time is coming when the capital city will have a boom that will be heard of.

The action is brought because of an alleged libelous statement in the editorial columns of the latter publication in which a charge of graft is intimated against the plaintiff. City Clerk Was Absent City Clerk Woods' indisposition prevented him from occupying his usual place at the Mayor's right hand at the council table last night. Mr. Woods' assistant and stenographer, Mr. J. McMaster, undertook his duties for the evening very efficiently.

Yesterday's was a record breaking tide, and coming as it did in the height of a nasty squall of wind the rise of the water caused quite a little excitement at the wharves and warehouses on the waterfront. The workers and officials at Messrs. Foley, Welch & Stewart's warehouses were really wondering when the phenomenal rise of the sea was going to stop. There were moments, some say, when the whole place seemed likely to float off its base. The buildings seemed at times to rock as if already afloat when the wind swooped down on them. The tide register gives 26 feet 24 inches for yesterday's maximum water level. The day before was 25 feet, and today's tide stands at 26 feet at high water so that today's tide is also a big one. As there is not such a breeze today the occasion is not so marked. Prof. Hoyle x In the Empress theatre next Friday and Saturday the most interesting entertainment of the year.

Mr. D.

Judge Mclnnes agreed that if bail for the same amount could be secured here he would be glad to recognize it. The bail was afterwards secured. Try the Savoy Hotel Dinner. RAILWAY EXTENSION Government Not Likely to Submit New Propositions Notice already given is indicative that one of the principal features of the railway legislation of the new session will be the bill for the enlargement. and extension of the powers of the Portland Canal Short Line railway, to permit of the carrying forward of the larger schemes of its proprietors, looking to an extension from Portland Canal by way of the upper Naas, the Omineca, and Pine river pass, to a connection with other lines at Edmonton, this new line opening up extensive areas of agricultural land, wide tracts of timber, and new coal measures reputed to be equal to those of Crow's Nest pass. It is improbable, however, that any extensive proposals for the assistance of new railways by bond guarantees or otherwise will be submitted at the present juncture by the government.

Walter Wellman, the Attempter It will be interesting to read what the Seattle Times has i;o say of this latest attempt of Walter Wellman, as of the last attempt before this to keep in the limelight, that of flying from Spitsbergen to the Notrh Pole and back, that newspaper spoke out so plainly that Wellman attempted an action for iibel claiming a large amount of damages. Even that attempt was a failure, as was the one of crossing the Atlantic he attempted this week. Certainly one has the right to question whether Mr. Wellman is entirely in earnest in his surprising undertakings; earnest, that is, in the possibility of carrying them out. For two seasons he had a large balloon at Spitzbergen and he did not do it. The first time the season was too far advanced; the second season the balloon came down after a short flight and was badly damaged. The attempt the other day seems to have deserved to fail just as that did. From all accounts there were many features of his machine that had never been tested. The machine was designed by Mr. Vanniman, and it embodied several new devices and would seem to have been a most foolhardy thing to attempt to cross the Atlantic without even a test of these new devices. Well- man can never make good as long as he neglects ordinary precautions.

B. Bryce and the "squint-eyed man" called Morris, suspected of the destruction of the Los Angeles Times plant by dynamite, detectives are making a systematic search of San Francisco. They believe they'are close to the possession of facts that will lead to the arrest of the dynamiters. Information was furnished by Mrs. E. R. Ingersoll, who told the police that Bryce was brought to her home at 3656 Twentieth street, two weeks before the Times explosion, by a woman acquaintance. Bryce engaged a room and shortly was joined by the "squint- eyed" man. One day she overheard them talking of dynamite, of possible police interference and of Los Angeles. Shortly before the night of the Times explosion, Bryce left this city, but Norris remained. Mrs. Ingersoll declared that she feared for her life and did not summon up courage to tell the police until now. She denied yesterday that she had told the police and said that the tale had been concocted by newspaper men. Detective Burns admitted yesterday afternoon that the woman's story of the plot was true and that she had been instructed to deny until the detectives could take advantage of her information without being hampered by amateur sleuths. The woman who brought Bryce to the Ingersoll home is being sought. She undoubtedly will lead to the men wanted, provided Mrs. Ingersoll's suspicions are correct. It was learned that J. B. Bryce occupied a room at Mrs. Ingersoll's from September 4 to September 14. He was visited by a man giving the name of William Morris, who was also known as Terry" and "Smithy." They claim to have been printers in Chicago. In the course of these visits Mrs. Ingersoll learned of the alleged plot. Bryce appeared to be the man in charge and received messages daily by telephone rom men and women. Some of these 'messages were overheard by Mrs. Ingersoll and are said to have related to the purchase and shipment of dynamite at the Giant plant. Mrs. Ingersoll is believed to have given the detectives clues regarding the method of transporting the explosive to Los Ange es, also regarding the preparation of bombs. She is said to have directed the officers to a warehouse where the men's effects were stored. Mrs. Ingersoll's description of the men and their acquaintances tally accurately.

There were no more houses or places of business there and nothing was being done with the incompleted wharf.

SMITH RETURNED FROM VACATION Says Port Mann Is Booming���Had Offer for His Property There but Declined It���Glad to Hear Helgerson Made Successful Plunge. - Alderman Vemor W. Smith returned on the Prince Rupert yesterday from his three week's vacation, and was at his desk in the office of Foley, Welch & Stewart this morning. He chatted about his trip but harked back the conversation continually to "the ranch." This means his ranch near Camrose, on the Poke- hasset branch of the Canadian Pacific. He had not seen it for two years, and said with the enthusiasm of a boy that he found everything looking fine. Crops were good, stock healthy and multiplying, and wild duck and prairie chicken plentiful. The ideal of his vacation was to have some duck shooting, and this he enjoyed to his fill. He was glad to get away from his desk routine and council worries, he said, and try to forget Prince Rupert for a brief spell. But it was brought back to him even in his home town. He went with a party to Miquelon Lake, fourteen miles north of Camrose, which is one of the best shooting lakes in Alberta. It is a great resort for the Edmonton and Alberta sportsmen. In his party was the mayor and two councillors of the city of Camrose.. That town is wrestling with the putting in of electric kight and with a sewerage system just as is Prince Rupert, so that in the evenings, at the fine clubhouse they have at the lake, the conversation naturally turned to those municipal problems once in a way. The mayor had a gasoline launch on the lake, so that this part of the trip was altogether enjoyable. Returing to the coast he found Vancouver very lively. Mrs. Smith met him there and after doing some shopping they went over to Seattle. They found Seattle quiet by comparison with Vancouver, but without any great signs of depression. "When we returned we made a trip to P rt Mann," said Mr. Smith, "and certainly things are coming there at a great rate. I was glad to hear my friend Olgy Helgerson got in there. I was very glad to learn that he took a plunge and believe he will clean up a lot of money. "No, I did not speculate, for the reason that I had some property there already. While Mrs. Smith and I were in Vancouver we were made a good offer���an offer of {1000 an acre for what we paid $260 an acre a few"months ago. But we did not sell. They have let a contract for cleaning up the townsite of Port Mann, a thousand acres, and things are looking very bright there." DEMAND FOR DWELLINGS In Prince Rupert Is on the Increase States H. F. McRae Company H. F. McRae & Co., real estate agents, have recently had a large number Of calls of inquiry regarding houses for rent, and have rented a number of houses to clients coming to settle in the city from the North and East. They find the demand for good class dwelling houses a steady and increasing one. The same firm disposed the other day of a couple of lots on Beach Place which realized a couple of thousand dollars, and are having a number of enquiries. H. F. McRae has been absent this week on a visit to the Lakelse district with a party by gasoline launch. He is expected to return on Monday. On Wednesday evening Mr. McRae is announced to deliver an address on "The New Thought" to the Presbyterian Church -Young Men's Club. Masonic Meeting A meeting of Tsimpsean Lodge No. 68 A. F. and A.
