I Premature Discovery Of His Laboratory Results Led To Quackery���One of the Most Famous Physicians in the World. (Special to the Optimist). Baden Buden, May 28.���Kock, the Ifonous bacteriolist, passed away this Imoming after an extended illness and ���much suffering. Professor Koch was one of the most Itaous physicians in the world and his I time will be attached to many important Ijiwveries other than that of phythisis, Iwiimonly known as consumption, was Jtwsed by bacteria. The results of his ���experiments in inoculation as a remedy I for the dread disease were given to his I class, and he did not desire to have them I made public until further experiments I confirmed the results shown by the first. ���But the news that consumption could I be cured by inoculation spread all over I the world, and hundreds of fraudulent I nostrums were immediately advertised I as the Koch cure. This was one of the ) regrets of the latter part of the I great scientist's career. HANDBOOKS TO CRIME. I Dime Novel Reading Incites Boy To Dastardly Deeds. [Special to the Optimist]. St. John, N. B., May 28.���The police j caused a great sensation here yesterday by the arrest of a boy of sixteen named McLaughlin for .torturing a boy of seven years of age. It appears that Mc- I Laughlin is a greedy readerof dime novels and that to pay Indians dramatically he enticed several younger children to a secluded spot and there tortured I them. One of the victims was partially I scalped and the boy of seven, who is likely to die as a result, was tied to a I stake and a fire started at his feet. Political Donnybrook.

Gamble Notary Public Silver Bow Mines Co., Another mining company is being formed to develop a group of claims in the Portland Canal district, the Silver Bow Mines company, Ltd., with offices in Vancouver. Mr. W. Noble, president of the company, who is now in Victoria, said yesterday that the company was formed to take over five claims, the Silver Bow No. 1, 2, 3, and 4 and Washington, situated on Glacier creek. These claims were originally located by Mr. Stark for Mr. Rogers in 1902, and $7,000 has been spent in development work and application is being made for a Crown grant. On the claims there . is one lead of copper and gold ore "thirty feet wide, which has been traced ~^-for 3,000 feet, and there is a tunnel on this of 100 feet. Ore taken from this dump gave from $15 to $20 as an average from fifteen assays. There is a second ledge seen for 1,500 feet., from three to eight feet wide, which carries good values in silver and lead ana yet another ledge of solid galena ore discovered recently, upon which no work has been done. The company has been formed with a capital of $1,000,000 in 25 cent shares. The vendors have taken about two-thirds of their price in stock. Spme of the remaining shares are to be offered at 15 cents. James Cocker- ill of Victoria, has been appointed to take charge of the mine.

The Ottawa Free Press remarks that Sir Wilfred Laurier has made choice of two capital traveling companions on his tour of the west in Hon. G. P. Graham and Mr. F. F. Pardee. Hon. Mr, Fielding will be unable to come west owing to the necessity of his going to England to resume his duties on the West India commission; but his turn for a visit west may come next year. Prophetic. "And what are we to understand by the Biblical expression 'the four corners ���f the earth?' " asks the instructor in theology. "Rockfeller's corner in oil, Have- meyer's corner in sugar, Carnegie's corner in steel, and Patten's corner in wheat," answers the new student. ''Tommy," said the boss, "you quit smoking two or three months ago, did'nt you?" "Yes, sir" answered the office boy. "How much have you gained in weight?" "Well, sir," he said, "countin' it in nickels I reckon I've gained about four pounds." Mistress���"Dinah, you are from the South, are your not?"

CHARITY or BUSINESS ��� Which? ��� ���"PHE germ of both Life and * Fire Insurance had its rise in the custom of taking up a collection for the stricken family. We all chipped in in the hope and expectation that if we were snuffed out by either sickness or accident, the neighbors would do as much for us. Life insurance avoids the uncertainty of leaving things to neighbors. It is a business plan, founded on laws of mathematics and sound economy, to provide for those dependent on us in case of death. Life insurance is no longer a charity, or. quasialtruism, any more than fire insurance is. Life insurance is a duty and a privilege. To eliminate the distressing results of death, through insurance, payable to business Partners, wife, or children, seems ut common prudence. Lord Nelson in his will left his wife and daughter "to the tender care of the British Nation, to which I have given my life." And the wife and daughter- gravitated to the Poor House; for what is everybody's business is nobody's business. Don't leave your loved ones to the care of the public or the neighbors. The neighbors may have troubles of their own. Cut out the risk and worry by insuring in the Sun Life of Canada The cost is nominal; the results phenomenal. Let us talk the matter over with you. F. B.

Alfred Decker, steward on the steamer Ena, met with a violent death there on Friday evening week. He was riding a bicycle on the approach to Moore's wharf, Skagway when a loose plank caused the bicycle to swerve, throwing the rider to the tide-flats below, a distance of some fifteen feet. He fell in such a way that his neck was broken by the impact and death was instantaneous. Mr. Decker was well known and very popular among the C. P. R. employees.

The market attention which Stewart and the important mining field behind it, which gives assurance of permanency and prosperity of the new city, are attracting throughout Canada, is attested says the Vancouver Province in letters from Toronto telling of arrangements now under way for the early coming of an excursion party of 100 mining men of Cobalt and Toronto, for each and all of whom Stewart is the alluring objective point. Upwards of a dozen of these prospective visitors at present have confidential representatives confirming the glowing reports that have been made as to the Portland Canal camp by every mining expert who has thus far given it his attention; and Mr. W. J. Trethewey, M. E., the Cobalt millionaire, at one time a resident of this city, and now on the coast for the express purpose of seeing the new field for himself, is understood to have behind him an aggregate of $10,000,- 000 of Ontario capital, a considerable part of which is seeking investment in British Columbia's newest and in many ways, most promising mining district.

"To me the strongest impression of all was that of the exquisite Queen Mother's sweet womanliness, her gentle grace, her picture framed for an instant in carriage window and never to be forgotten. "There are high lights which stand clear in my mind after a broad river of scarlet and gold has flowed at full tide between its banks of pale faces, and the King has passed to his peace. Now it is over, Statesmen and warriors, leaders and princes with the glint of gold and the flash of steel, the greatest muster upon, all are gone and remain but in the memory. The people surge forth from their close ranks and the hushed hum of London rises once more. For a few hours a great complex machine has stood at rest. For as many weeks it has been running heavily and slowly in all its countless gears. Each turns again to his own proper business. The great dead has been honored and the world is now for the living. All its manifold activities will roar into action and the strife of parties will break forth. It is good and should be so, for only through battle can life's high issues be attained."

ENGINEERjSAPPOINTED TO RECEIVE A SALARY OF FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS William Davis, the Gentleman Selected for This Important Position is at Present City Engineer of Berlin, Ontario. W. M. Davis, at present city engineer of Berlin, Ont., was appointed the permanent engineer for Prince Rupert at a salary of $5,000 per year. This action was taken by the council at its meeting last night upon the recommendation of the Streets committee. Mr. Davis is one of the best municipal engineers in the Dominion and that is why he was selected. The Princess May arrived this morning with a number of excursionists for Stewart. The number might have been larger but that the sale of Srewart town lots is advertised for Monday and Tuesday and many interested who might have taken the trip were afraid to do so for fear of missing the sale. Among the notable excursionists was Captain John Irving, in whose company no one ever died of thirst; Mr. and Mrs. McGowan engineering superintendent of the G.T.P. Harry Howson, the well-known mining operator of the Skeena; R.

Word has reached the city from some of the local parties who left two or three weeks ago to prospect and to develop previously located claims in the Ellis Arm district. Everyone up there is very optimistic and that country promises to rival Stewart. Not only did many local men go prospecting, but a large number of those who went to Stewart and who have been working in that locality, are hitting the trails over mountains for the new and more promising territory. John McGrath is now doing assessment work on his claims which were recently bonded for a good figure. He has two of the most promising propositions in the district. Jones and Strangland, two well known men, have discovered and are opening up some promising property. There are now over 40 men at Ellis Arm and their number is being added to every day. Logan and a party of prospecters have gone in on the Naas looking for mineral. It is reported that they had no trouble with the Indians and that the hostility of the natives is not nearly so bad as one would be lead to believe. one or two restless passengers were tossed out of their berths. Ike Thompson, the mining operator, was a passenger on the Amur on his way to Vancouver, in connection with a deal of some Portland Canal Mining property. The islands have been having beautiful weather and there is everywhere a great deal of business activity. The Moresby Island sawmill is running double shift, and has a pile of lumber on the wharf waiting to be shipped by the Petriana to the Westholme Lumber company at Prince Rupert. Mining interests are looking well. The diamond drill at the Ikeda Bay mines is still running and continues to show encouraging results. Among the Amur's passengers, on her way to Vancouver, was W. H. Parsons, who has been visiting his mining property on Collision Bay to make arrangements for resuming active operations. BIG DEAL IS COMPLETED MORROW & CO. SELLS ITS BUSINESS TO P. BURNS & CO. Purchaser Will Erect One Of Largest Cold Storage Plants On Coast- Will Be On Waterfront And Have Trackage. FIRST CO NCRETE BLOCK. R. C. Hyde Will Award The Contract In Two Weeks. Famous Treadwell Mine. The Mining and Scientific Press gives the following figures from Treadwell: The report of Alaska Treadwell Gold Mining company for March states that the 240 mill ran 26 days, 16 hours and crushed 27,104 tons of ore. Of this 5oo tons of concentrates, valued at $37,524, was saved, and $59,414 in free gold. The operating expenses amounted to $64,781 and construction $8,056. The yield per ton of ore milled amounted to $3, of ore milled amounted to $3.77. At Alaska Mexican mine the report for the same period gives the mill run 21 days 2 hours, ore crushed, 12,377 tons, concentrates saved, 253 tons, valued at at $17,784, base bullion, $1,940 and free gold $22,512. The operating expenses. . amounted to $26,482 and the yield per ton of ore milled, $3.40. New Hotel Started. Work has been started on the foundation for Bird's new hotel at the corner of Fraser and Sixth Streets. R. C. Hyde of Los Angeles is in the city in connection with his local properties and the new building he will shortly have started. Mr. Hyde expects to let the contract for the construction of a concrete block of stores at the corner of Third Avenue and Seventh Street in about two weeks. He is receiving bids from the contractors now and in a few days he will make a trip to Spokane and back and will then award the contract. The prospects are that this building will be the first of the permanent buildings to be erected here. Once this class of structure is started others will follow rapidly. Mr. Hyde has had considerable experience in building and has some valuable properties in other cities. This block will at present be only one storey but the foundation and walls will be heavy enough to carry a three storey building for which the plans have been made. The second and third floors will be added as required. Grand Trunk's New Offices. Vancouver, May 27,���[Special]���The Grand Trunk Pacific has leased the whole block now occupied by the General Electric company, south of the old post office. This will be the Company's office for the western division. The Government Wireless Telegraph was formally opened to the public yest- day wi en The Optimist sent the following message to the Vancouver press. "The citizens of Prince Rupert and the Optimist send greetings over the first wireless from this port." The new station on Digby Island has been completed for some time, but the cable to the Government wire office here just complete. The work since C. P. Edwards was called East has been in charge of C. M. Mclntyre who will remain here a few days yet. The regular operator will be D. A. Cameron, who lives at the station. He will be given an assistant and the station will then be open from 7 a.m. to 12 p.m. Commercial message may be sent by wireless at the same rate as by wire. In case of a ten word message 25c goes to the wire system for the cable dispatch and $1.00 to the wireless system. The advantage of the wireless will be an auxiliary when the wires are down. Prior to this the following messages were exchanged between Mayor Stork and Mayor Morley of Victoria Mayor of Victoria���"Prince Rupert extends congratulations to sister cities in the south upon the completion of the wireless communication. May it prove another link in the chain of commercial and social interests." FRED STORK, Mayor. Prompt Answer. "Fred Stork, Mayor of Prince Rupert��� Victoria heartily reciprocates your congratulations and unites with coast cities in felicitations upon the wonderful achievement of successfully employing the ether to take the place of wire in the transition of telegraphic messages." J. J. MORLEY, Mayor. Wireless for Stewart. Instructions have been issued by C. P. Edwards, superintendent of wireless for the Dominion of Canada, to make some tests on Portland Canal in neighborhood of Stewart with the object of finding out if it would be possible to operate a wireless station at that point. These tests will be carried out at once and if successful a station will be at once erected in order to put the new mining communitty in touch with the rest of the world. At present there is no telegraph communication. Portland Canal is badly land-locked and some doubt is expressed as to the feasibility of tee scheme. A series of stations up the canal for he purpose of relaying messages has been suggested but this would be very expensive and until the experiments have been made nothing can be decided. Should it be found impossible to bring the place into wireless communication with the rest of the coast, it is understood that the telegraph wire to Dawson will be tapped and a branch run into Stewart. Blake Wilson, western manager for P. Burns & Co., to-day closed a deal which has been in progress for some time, with the firm of L. Morrow & Co. for the purchase of their entire northern business. This includes the Prince Rupert and the Stewart markets. P. Burns & Co. are by far the largest meat dealers in western Canada and their coming in here shows the confidence the firm has in Prince Rupert. They will immediately erect one of the largest cold storage plants on the coast. It will be located on the waterfront and with trackage. L. Morrow & Co. have been in business in this country for eleven years. Their Prince Rupert market on the water front was the first store in this city. The building was later used as the first home of the Optimist and now as the G. T. P. power house. The firm has been one of the most successful in the city and in disposing of the market business Mr. Morrow will have more time to devote to his many other interests in and around Prince Rupert. WM.

FIRST WHITE WOMAN At Fort George Solves Knotty Point Between Two Claimants. $1500 for Hazelton. The Methodist Church Mission Board decided at its meeting in Toronto recently to vote $1500 to the erection of a wing to the hospital of the Indian Mission at Hazelton. This was made necessary by the opening up of the G. T.P. and the development of the mines in the district. Those Sugar Frauds. New York, May 27th���[Special]��� In the continuation of the trial of Charles Heike, charged with defrauding the government in the use of fraudulent sugar weights at this port, Mr. Spitzer, former assistant secretary of the treasurer, said this morning that the confession of Heike would implicate others, including Henry Havemeyer who died some months ago. The first-white-woman-question in Fort George is settled and is now a matter of history. There may be difference of opinion in respect to the discovery of the North Pole and also to the merits and demerits of townsites, but regarding the first woman in Fort George there is no doubt. We have three. They all came on the SS. Quesnel last Sunday, and from appearances there was an evident desire on the part of the three to land first. But Mrs. M. V. Halm held the gang plank, and as she had five handsome and bright children en train, she was accorded the position she deserved and walked off the boat amid a bombardment of cameras and well-wishers' salutations. The royal photographer was there and The Tribune will at some future time reproduce the group. The townsite company had in vew the giving of a lot to the first white woman 'landing' and 'residing' in Fort George. But the first woman to land, Mrs. Halm, in company with her husband, went direct to their pre-emption in the Nechaco valley. This was believed to have disqualified her from receiving a lot, and making Mrs. G. Howser the benefiary, she being the seconf woman to walk off the boat, and who has taken up her residence here. Things appeared complicated for a time; hut eventually, through the urbanity and diplomatic suavity of the townsite representative here, W. F. Cooke, the matter has been adjusted satisfactorily to both claimants, and a lot apiece has been granted them. There ends possibly one if the most delicate questions in the annals of Fort George. The lots presented are: To Mrs. M. V.Halm-lot 16, block 9, S. D. 933. To Mrs. G. Howser���lot 17, block 9, S. D. 933. They may be neighbors in time. Compressor for Stewart.

PLATE GLASS THIRD AVENUE STOVES RANGES TIN AND GRANITE WARE NEW QUEEN ENGLISH. The new queen is an English princess born and bred���British by training and habit. No British woman has become the mother of the heirs of the throne since the date, a little more than 200 years ago, when the Lady Anne Hyde daughter of the lord chancellor of the day, was wedded by the prince who who was then heir apparent to the throne, afterwards King James 11, and became the mother of two queens, Mary 11, and Anne. Her royal Majesty Queen Victoria Mary Augusta Louisa Olga Pauline Claudine Agnes, is a great-granddaughter of King George 111. Her husband is a generation lower down, for he is a great-great-grandson of the same king, but this is easily accounted for by the fact that the mother of the duchess was 14 years younger than the late Queen Victoria, and, moreover, was not married till she was 33 years of age. King George 111 had fourteen children, but of these there are singularly few descendants in the second generation. The Queen's grandfather, Prince Adolphus, Duke of Cambridge, was one of those who married to oblige the nation when he had reached the age of 42, and he had three children���the Duke of Cambridge, who became. commander in chief of the army, Princess Augusta, who wed the Grand Duke of Mecklen- burg-Strelitz; and Princess Mary who married the Duke of Teck and became the mother of the present queen as well as of three sons. The good humor, gayety, and affability of Princess Mary Adelaide, Duchess of Teck, caused the new queen to inherit popularity with the nation. The queen was born in Kensington palace at one minute before midnight May 26, 1867, in a room adjacent to that in which Queen Victoria first saw the light of day forty-eight years earlier. From the first her name was shortened into May, she having been born in that month, and also because the number of Victorias in the younger generation of princesses was embarrassing. Between her mother and the future queen of England there existed the fondest devotion. In writing of the baby to a friend in March, 1868, the Duchess of Teck said: "She is really as sweet and engaging a child as you can wish to see, full of life and fun and playful as a kitten; with the deepest blue eyes imaginable, quantities of fair hair, a pink and white complexion, and a most perfect figure. In a word, she is a model of a baby. You must amicably overlook her mother's fond conceit in her own child, though I must say that May wins all hearts by her bright face and smile and endearing ways. Her papa is in a quiet way thoroughly devoted to her, and she adores him, though her mamma is her best playfellow." The little princess grew up at White- Lodge, Richmond, the property of Queen Victoria. She was taught several languages irom her infancy upwards, haviug a German governess and a French maid; and when she was only 9 years of age her mother wrote of her: "May is quick and clever, understands German and is musical." Music is one of the queen's greatest accomplishments, having a beautiful soprano voice and singing with great expression. She was a pupil of Sig. Tosti. The intimacy between the queen and her husband began at an early age and there was much visiting between the two families. Though King George and the queen were both lively children, it is said the gentle and more melancholy elder son of the then Prince of Wales, the late Duke Clarence, was more attractive to the little princess at that time. Her charitable work won general re- cognization, so when in 1893 it was announced that the then heir to the throne, the Duke of Clarence, was be trothed to his cousin May, public satisfaction was great. Less than a month after the betrothal the duke of Clarence was taken ill with influenza and died in a week. It was more than a year later that it became known that the Princess May would be the bride of the heir to the throne, after all, and on July 6, 1893, the marriage took place in the chapel royal, St. James. The bridal dress was of satin, woven in Spitalfields, as one of the charitable efforts in which the bride had taken great interest was the revival of English silk weaving and the bringing of home manufactured silks into general use in Britain. The tweeds in the trousseau all came from Scotland, the flannels from Wales, and the lace from Ireland.

A. Hamilton's Launch Near Simpson. Fourteen days at sea in a broken down | launch and on a hand made raft, suffering all privations, want, hunger, cold, thirst, lack of clothers, and all but lost, without the slightest assistance from any direction, A. W. Agnew and Guy Tooker, were picked up by W. A. Hamilton's launch just a quarter of a mile outside Simpson yesterday morning about 4 o'clock. Not only history, but romance is being j made daily in northern British Columbia. The trip made by these two young men was so full of hardship that it is difficult to conceive of anyone coming through I safely. It was only their knowledge of the north Pacific Coast, of engineering and their extreme courage and ability to adopt themselves to all circumstances bore them to safety. The story they I tell of their 14 day voyage is thrilling I to a degree, and not only will the partici- I pants of it remember it to their last days, hut so will their host of friends who have spent anxious day and sleep- I less nights in anxiety. Arrived Home. A. W. Agnew, a well known engineer I and Guy Tooker, his assistant, arrived in Prince Rupert Harbor on the morning of May 24th about 10 o'clock. They | came down from Port Simpson in Mr. Hamilton's yacht which rescued them from the craft and were greeted here by theii friends. They were taken in charge by R. L. McIntosh who took them to his home on Third avenue and he and I Mrs. Mcintosh cared for them until Ubout 9 o'clock in the evening, I then to their own bachelor quarters on 1 Fourth ave. Old Men. Anyone not well acquainted with I Agnew and Tooker would not have recognized them.s they walked up Cent re Street. They were gaunt and thin, careworn and aged, two week's growth on their beards and their clothes looking anything but fresh from my valets. They were weak and hungry and thirsty and walked with a slow step and bent shoulders and as their friends stopped to extend greetings it was plain to see they were suffering intensely from their | experiences. At Mr. Mcintosh's home everything 1 done for the young men that could They were given every care and 1 "n' rested well all day and evening.

That looked like the end for us. We were out of the line of steamers, without food and without a tool with which to make a raft. We managed to save about six pounds of flour and four pounds of oat meal, and a couple of pieces of candle. These latter we used to grease the frying pan with and we made pancakes by mixing the flour and meal with salt water. We also had a couple of meals of clams but they were scarce and we could not catch a fish of any kind. We had to come down to eating mussels��� and that's pretty tough. We found three potatoes on shore and once half a radish floated up to us. They were devoured eagerly and without question. Built a Raft. Realizing that life on the Cape would be short the heroes took the bull by the horns and decided to fight fate to the last ditch. "We started gathering driftwood," continued Mr. Agnew, "to make a raft. We had no tools whatever except one small cook knife. We gathered in the logs and we had to burn them in two or three pieces to get them the right length. Then we used stones to drive the old spikes out and later to drive them in to fasten the logs together. In due time we fashioned a raft that would make you laugh. It was our only chance. We made paddles out of drift wood and a sail out of the cover of the bed tick. "On Sunday, May 15th, we got on our 'life preserver' and took little Pat, the dog with us. Poor little fellow, he had a hard time, but he pulled through. We started for Port Simpson, or for the first boat we could sight. We had no idea how far we were away. The first day we made but little headway, but kept on day after day and night after night, only stopping to gather clams or mussels and for a rest. It was a hopeless task, but we were not hopeless and always expected to reach home. Refused to Help Them. ' 'For nine long days and nine long nights we paddled and apparently made no headway, but finally on Tuesday we sighted the Petriana about three o'clock in the morning bound for Port Simpson. We hailed her and the lookout answered our signals. He asked us what we wanted and we replied that we were in distress on a raft and wanted to be taken off. The lookout's reply we did not catch, but he kept his ship headed for Simpson and left us to the mercy of the tide and the waves. To us that was one of the hardest knocks of the whole trip. We cannot imagine what kind of an excuse the fellow will offer. "A half hour later, about a quarter of a mile from Port Simpson, we sighted Mr. Hamilton's launch coming towards us. Our hearts leaped with joy. We were saved! We got into the launch and one of the first things was bread and butter. I tell you I never tasted anything so good in my life before. We wired from Port Simpson of our safe arrival and we reached here about ten o'clock yesterday morning." NEW COUNCIL AT WORK WATER DROPPED A FOOT. Melting Snow, Fallen Trees and Drift Wood Cause of Rise. From the steamer bulletin it will be seen that the water in the canyon has fallen a foot during the past 24 hours. It is still four feet eight inches above zero and it is impossible for the steamers to go either up or down. They can not even navigate the little canyon at three feet above zero. Some of the boats will chance a passage, but not at the present height. The cause of the present sudden rising is the snow melting on the mountains and the freshet carrying the fallen trees and drift wood down to the canyon where it forms a dam and backs the water up. It is not expected that the high water will last more than a day or two. Alberta Crop Prospects. Calgary, May 27���[Special]���reports from all parts of Alberta to-day show crop conditions better than ever before. FIRST MEETING HELD IN THE COURT HOUSE. Big Batch Of Communications Read By Acting Clerk Alderman Smith Temporary Quarters Suggested For Use As City Hall. Prince Rupert's city council is mow well under way. The mayor and aldermen met on Monday night for a couple of hours or more and got through a lot of work. The organization was commenced by the appointment of the standing committees and already several matters have been referred to them. Another meeting will be held by them this evening at 8 o'clock. Those present were Mayor Stork, in the chair, Aid. Smith, Barrow, Mclntyre, Mobley, Hilditch, Pattullo. The mayor called the meeting to order and stated that he had a copy of the constitution of the Vancouver municipality and suggested that as their method of procedure. The secretary read the munutes of the noon meeting and they were adopted Communications. Secretary Aid. Smith read the following communications:��� From the Haliday Machinery Co., of Seattle, asking for information and specifications for the proposed new power house. From Wm. C. Currie, applying for position of assessor. From Alex. Potter, of new York, asking to be allowed to prepare plans for the proposed water works system. From the Kerr Engine Co., of Walker- ville, Ont., asking to be allowed to give figures on hydrants, pipes, valves, etc., in connection with the water works system. From J. Richards, of Brandon, Man., enquiring as to the prospects of a moving picture show here. From 0. J. Trouts of Albany, Ore., asking for information of the town and what opening there would be for a planing mill. From W. H. Derry, town, applying for position of Constable. From Grand View hotel, applying for license to sell liquor. From John T. Wood, town, applying for position on police force. From H. M. Leonard, asking that he be given an opportunity to place the city debentures on the market. From W. H. Dockstader, Victoria, applying for position of Chief of Police. From F. W. Kelly complaining about the dangerous condition of the roads. City Solicitor. Alderman Pattullo stated that one of the first things the council should do was to appoint a city solicitor as bylaws have to be prepared shortly, and legal advice is required at all times. Alderman Mobley agreed with this, but said that from what he could learn the solicitors were expecting to receive an outrageous salary. He had heard $4,000 and $5,000 mentioned. Aid. Mclntyre presumed that a larger salary would have to be paid here than elsewhere on account of the conditions being different. He did not see how the council could be justified in paying such a salary as mentioned. Alderman Hilditch said that Vancouver only paid $1,200. Aid. Pattullo did not think the city could get a solicitor the first year for less than $3000, as he would be kept busy the greater part of his time. After the by-laws are framed up, and the heavy work done, a smaller salary could be paid. Aid. Hilditch thought the lawyers should be asked to tender for the position Aid. Smith suggested that a solicitor be employed for three months at a salary of $250 per month and after that time the council could decide what to do. This suggestion met with general approval and was adopted. The lawyers will be communicated with by the Finance Committee. The city to furnish a stenographer. City Clerk. Aid. Hilditch introduced the matter of a city clerk, and after some discussion it was decided that the mayor secure a man to fill the psotion temporarily. Centre St. Road. Aid. Lynch in referring to the repairs on Centre street reminded the council that that was G. T. P. property. The company had also refused to spend any more money on it, but intended to turn it over to the city, if not exactly in the same place as it is now, it would be quite near. He thought the city should look after this at once. On the suggestion of Aid. Pattullo, the mayor was instructed to take the matter up with Mr. Chamberlain. His Worship said he would do so as a whole new deck was needed on the road and a proper grade should be struck before any great expense was put on the road. Temporary Quarters. His Worship stated that in connection with temporary quarters for the City Hall he had seen Mr Christie about the old Bank of Commerce building. He had been referred to Mr. Ryley, but he had not heard from him yet. He said the streets and property committee should get busy at once on plans for a city hall and police station. He understood from Mr. Manson that there was a site near the fire hall. Aid. Mobley said the council should decide on rate of taxation for this year in order to get finances. Alderman Pattullo suggested that each committee prepare an estimate of their requirements for the year. Mayor Stork said the city would issue debentures for telephone, electric light plant and these could all be voted on by the people at the one time. There was a discussion caused by Alderman Lynch mentioning the water supply from Woodworth lake. In this matter the services of one or two engineers and a solicitor were required and the matter should be taken up at once. Aid. Pattullo moved that the Streets committee be instructed to prepre a report re engaging a temporary engineer and present ti at the next meeting. Aid. Mobley seconded the motion and it carried. Alderman Barrow again brought up the question of a temporary engineer to have the streets repaired and other work cleaned up so the permanent man would not be unnecessarily delayed in starting on the big work. Alderman Mobley moved that the Streets committee be authorized to proceed at once with repairing the plank roads���carried. Alderman Hilditch asked for instructions as to the purchase of the necessary lumber and supplies for repairs. He was told by the mayor to get whatever was eeded, whereever he wished for the present.

Roland, one of the best known mining engineers of Ontario, is lost in the woods. He is 80 years old and was with Roberts at the relief of Lucknow. BIG FIRE AT METLAKATLA Camping Party Started Bonfire In The Grass���Spread Rapidly And The Village Was Threatened. Metlakatla had a close call yesterday from being destroyed by fire. It took the united efforts of all the villagers for a couple of hours to stop the onward march of the flames, which looked at times to be very dangerous. The fire was caused by a party of picnickers from Prince Rupert who started a bon fire in the dry grass and hay. Everything in the neighbourhood was perfectly dry and the bonfire got away from the watchers and was soon licking up the hay in large quantities. It sprung rapidly towards the village and all hands turned in and helped. The fire engine did good service and the natives worked like Trojans. Picnic and camping parties should be particular about their camp fires. There is no limit to the damage that a little carelessness will cause. Metlakatla was nearly destroyed and had it not been that all the villagers were enjoying the holiday at home, and listening to the band on the green.the result would have been disastrous. As it was, the fire was a big one and could be plainly seen from Prince Rupert. BIG REAL ESTATE DEAL. C. D. Newton Closed One for $10,000 and Has a $34,000 Deal Pending. Real estate is now on the move again. Big deals are. being put through. Yesterday C. D. Newton, corner of Sixth street and Third avenue, closed a deal whereby Richard Sargeant, of Hazelton, becomes the owner of lots 18 and 19, block 30, section 1. The price paid was $10,000, or $5000 a lot. These lots at the original sale a year ago brought $1800. Another deal is practically closed for a property in block 31. The price is $15,000, and the transaction will be consummated in a day or two. It is understood that a substantial building will be erected on it. One of the largest real estate deals put through for a longtime is now being closed by Mr. Newton for a property in block 31. It will bring $34,000. An outside party is purchasing it, and a large commercial building will be erected, particulars of which will be given later. George V. to Arbitrate. Representatives ot the American and Chilean governments in London having charge of the celebrated Alsop claim, which was shortly to have been presented to King Edward for arbitration, have been informed by the United States government and that of Chili that King George V will undertake the arbitration of this claim and the matter will be presented to him about August 1 next. SIXTY DOLLAR PANS. Fairbanks Depopulated by the Stampede to Idibarod. Judge Kellum, of Fairbanks, was a passenger on the Cottage City last night. He is hurrying on to Iditarod, having received the most encouraging reports from the new diggings. The judge says he grubstaked a man in two or three months ago, and this man was lucky enough to locate some good ground. He writes that sixty-dollar pans are common, and that there is as wild an excitment in the new camp as when gold was first struck in the Klondike. The judge said while here that from all he has heard from his partner and from other sources the Iditarod is bound to be a second Klondike, or even a greater. He learns that Fairbanks is wholly depopulated and that there is difficulty in getting men to finish up the clean-up of the winter dumps. A bureau for the employment of men for the Tanana district was in operation in Seattle, but the men who might have gone in were all making their way to the new diggings. > A ���' THE PRINCE RUPERT OPTIMIST Royal Bank of Canada Head Office: MONTREAL.
