That was i he question that was disCUSKd at BOIBO considerable length on Saturday afltr- noon in tht Council Chambt r when a delegation from the Indus',rial Workers Association of Prince Rupert met wi.h the special committee of the Council to go into the question of whether or not 37 1-2 cents pel hour is a living wage. The evidence adduci d was all t-lt nrly in favor of tht- advance. Comparisons were made between Prince Rupi rt and other young cities showing that while the wages ruled the same, thc cost of living was much higher here than elsewhere. One of the witnesses even tabulated his wage again-1 his w.-ckly expenditure upon the bare necessities of life and showed that the former was not even adequate to support a family of four. The whole proceedings wure interesting and afforded everyone prist nt some enlightenment upon the vexed question. The conference consisted of the four members of the council, namely, Alder man Hilditch, chairman, Alderman Clayton, Alderman Pattullo and Alderman Newton, and the Workers' Committee consisting of Messrs. Fraser, Morse Fisher, Carroll and Casey. Object of Meeting The proceedings commenced with some little discussion rcgnrding the nature of the meeting, whether a discussion or an investigation was entered into, and the Chairman, Alderman Hilditch called upon Alderman Pattullo, the mover of thc motion appointing the council's committee, to explain his motion that thc basis of the meeting might be clearly understood. He said: •'What I should like to see is the workers gUbmitting data showing reasons why they should have forty-live cents |icr hour." Straight Talking Mr. Fisher who was the first to give evidence said DO had travtlled thtse coasts consiiii rably. "In Vancouver," he said, "I waa paid $3 a day. The cosi of food there was $5 per week for three squaii imals a day. In Jumau the rati was 50 cents an hour, nnd this 1 rate is paid in Ketchikan, Skagway, and White Horsr. The cost of living thi.ro is $7 per wcok. In Dawson 75 cents per hour is paid for street work. Most men there do as they do here that is, batch for themselves. For clot hut such as a working man is entitled to wear," he said, "the price in Prince Rupert today are thc same as charged to myself in Dawson four months age. As for house rent, in Prince Rupert you pay $11 per month for a shack with u bedstead, a table nnd a couple of orange boxes in il. Rents in Rupert for one room ranged from $11 to $20 per month. In Vancouver you can get a res|iertable two rooms on Powell street for $8 per month or one room for $0. And the climate conditions in Vnncouver are at least two per cent better than they are in Prince Rupert. A man can earn only about $50 per month in Prime Rupert. In the rainy season perhn|» even less." Rent and Fuel Costs Alderman Pattullo asked: "What is the average rent for a house for a married man?" Mr. Fisher replied: "About $30 per month. I myself am paying $20 per month for a shack which if thc sanitary inspector was doing his duty would not be standing." "Would $20 per month not be the average rent?" asked Alderman Pattullo. "That depends on the house," replied Mr. Fisher. Tho Chairman: "Taking an average family of a man, his wife and two chil dren, you think that their rent would come to $30 per month?" Mr. Fisher: "Yin, about $30 p.r month tnking it from my point of view." Alderman Pattullo: "Don't you think that a little high?" Mr. Fisher: "Not as I tnke it and il-.. ii you hnve to add thp cost of tin Black Diamond. Th. pricr of coal hen is a large item, 70 cents a hundr. t for th. average family deacribed. Mr. F.'shi r preferred not to imWff this qui'-linn as lie Waa not himself a married man. Worked Two Day* a Month Mr. Casty, being a married man, was called upon to give the disiretl evidence, nnd Mr. Fisher continued to represent tht single men. Mr. Fisher gave the following items: Room, $11 per month. Board 80 cents per day idoing own cooking). Fuel, 4 sacks of coal per month. Oil, 3 gallons per month. (Witness said he usccf rather much oil as he cooked with ii at mid-day). Clothing ppr month: Overabs $1.25, mitts 50 to 75 cents, socks, 3 pairs $1. Uncrdwear, $3 per suit.

BOX 1545 PRINCE RUPERT. B.C. A Hindu Woman's Opinion She has spoken at last, has the Hindu woman. For years thc object of pity on,the part of her western sisters; pictured as the mere slave of a sensual husliand, the woman of tht Orient has "come back" at the owman of the Occident. The critics are two Indian ladim, of whom one is a quwn, the Maharani of Baroda, wife of the Gaekwar of that state, and the other the Princess Pra- tiva, a daughter of the Maharaja of Kooch Kt-shtib Chunder Sen. The Maharina of Baroda has twice visited the United States. On the bust visit, being pressed by the newspaper men, she did say something. Her highness's remarks are reported as follows: "The women of your big, vast, young country, I confess, disappointed me. I hatl heard so much of them; that they equalled the French women in their two most striking qualities of chic and vivacity, that they drtssed far better than the English women; were as coquettish its the Spanish: that they were, in short, its fascinating as the most fascinating women in thc world—the Russian. "Well, they are not. They are less chic than the French women, because their clothes are more exaggerated, less becoming, and not always appropriate to the occasion. . . . "They dress better than the English women but their clothing is not so durable, suggests mothing of the solid qualities of modesty and station, as do the tweeds and broadcloths worn by the English. Their coquetry is not attractive, for it possesses no sublety. "I understand that some American women make the proposals of marriage. That I do not doubt after watching them make themselves 'agreeable' to a man at dinner. As for the fascinations of the Russian women. No No No The Russian women arc soft and feminine. The American women are masculine. The only softness about them is tht stuffs with which they drape themselves—not their souls." The Princt-ss Prativa, who was interviewed in l.i inl«>n. had this to say concerning her western sisters: "The women of the rest of the world are so unhappy. We of India alone know the art of happiness. We judge a nation by the status of irs women, and the status of the American women is eternal unrest. One woman said tome: 'I have nothing but money, and I'm tired of that' They lack that calm centre of philosophy wi.hout which life is a whirlpool and the world is in a vast turmoil. They talk loudly, they try to be i.prightly, and only succeed in making ugly faces. They are not enough alone. They do not read enough. They chatter too much' and ihink too little." And makes them yawn before he's gone for little trundle bads. Listen to the Sand Man knocking at the door; Listen to the Sand Man, he's been here before. The Sand Man is coming, dears, coming from the skjes; Sleepy tunes he's humming, dears, to help you shut your eyes. —Arthur Macy in St. Nicholas 53. Sail, for Vancouver Victoria AND [Seattle im0 THE SAND MAN A Rhyme for Very Little Folks The Sand Man is coming, dears, coming from thc skies; He has a little box of sand to throw in little eyes, From east and west he brings you rest, and just before the night He scatters sand about the land and shuts your eyelids tight. When little folks arc tired of noise, and put their heads in hips, He gnyly dances over hills with pockets full of naps; And up ho climbs at sleepy times to sleepy little heads, The King's Gloved Hand It is not generally known that King George's custom of appearing with his right hand gloved and the other bare I has its origin in something more than a \\ mere whim of fashion. The wearing! of a glove on the right hantl by a mon-' arch is a distinct survival of the dnys when the sovereign's touch was held to be a ctrtain cure for all kinds of diseases, especially scrofula.

MORRISON Builder and Contractor POOR SEASON FOR HALIBUT BAD LUCK DURING MONTHS LAST FEW Extremely Cold Weather, Lack of Good Bait and Costly Accidents Are the Contributing Factors in Poorest Catch Ever Known. This season's halibut is proving the poorest ever known. Bad luck seems to have followod the boats the last few months. Extremely bad weather, lack of good bait, and many costly accidents have had the tendency to depress the men in the fishing business. Practically no halibut are coming in and this condition will prevail through February. Fishermen do not look for any catch until the middle of March. Five of the Canadian Fishing company's fleet ate tied up with accidents that will cost from $6000 to $15,000 to repair. Tho manager of that company says they would have saved money by tieing their boats up this winter.

SERVICE TO BE CHANGED PROPOSED ALTERATION IN THE STEAMER SCHEDULES Captain Nicholson Ha* Left Vancou ver for Winnipeg to Confer With Head Officer*—Important Developments Are Said to Be Pending. Vancouver, Feb. 3.—Captain C. H. Nicholson, manager of the Grand Trunk Pacific steamships, left for Winnipeg yesterday, where he will confer with the head officers of the G. T. 1'. regarding a number of important matters concerning thc company's affairs in Vancouver. When Captain Nicholson returns in about three weeks' time it is expected he will have at least two important announcements to make. One of these will be in connection with the reported purchase of the Albion Iron Woiks site and wharf at tho norlh end of main street. This pro|MTty has been under option to the Grand Trunk Pacific for some time, and tht only thing that is understood to have prevented the deal going through was the probable cost of making wharfage extensions to the present dockage facilities. Soundings and .e.ts in front of the Albion Iron Works wharf have been going on for some time, with a view to determining whether the construction of a new pier there would he as costly as in the case of the new C. P. R. piers, which, owing to the rocky nature of the bottom, had to have sufficient earth brought there by a dredge and dump scows to make a foundation to drive the piles in. Enough data is said to have been secured now to enable Captain Nicholson to lay thc matter before the head officials of the company with a fairly close estimate of the cost. It is expected they will sanction the deal. The other matters upon which Captain Nicholson will confer with the management of the G. T.
