Clayton Heara Voicea Just then it seemed to Alderman Clayton that someone in the City Hall murmured "Scab." Instantly the alderman appealed to thc chair to keep order, saying "I refuse to be called a scab at the council board " "I didn't hear the word," said alderman Hilditch, and a voice from behind cried "It wasn't from this eorner, doctor " CONTINUED C 1 PAGE B RAINBOW AT SEA AGAIN lAt 8 A.

Before the city council last night was I laid a letter from the Prince Rupert I Industrial Association asking if it were true that in the wire asking for the Rainbow to come here, the council had stated that the strike was led by three criminals. A lenghty discussion of this communication involving the whole Rainbow business, resulted in instructions being given the City Clerk to draw- up with the assistance of Alderman Hilditch, a letter stating thai so far as the members of thc council knew no such reference had been made in the request. Several l of the aldermen explained that of course they did not know what actually was said as they left that in Acting Mayor Smith's hands after instrut ting him to take steps in the mailer. Thinka Smith Might Know At considerable length Alderman Newton spoke against the announcements in the Optimist that the Rainbow had been sent for after a secret meeting I of the council in thc offices of Mean's, Foley, Welch & Stewart. He talked about "flaunting articles in print," said he knew nothing about the mention of criminals, and did not think any member of council knew more, unless it were Acting Mayor Smith. Thc secret meeting referred to hc said hail been called by the ex-Chief of Police. who had stated'that if stiike-breakers. were to come in by the Camosun or other steamers hc was up against It. He had nol force enough to handle a disturbance, and asked that red-coats be requisitioned. Wanted Rainbow Handy Believing that the Rainbow was in Northern waters the council decided to wire to Mayor Manson with the request that she be asked to keep in touch with thc wireless at Digby so that in the event of serious trouble the bluejackets could bc summoned to aid the civic authorities. It was agreed said Alderman Newton, that no armed men should be invited to our shores lest the mob should become inflamed. As for the idea lhat the Rainbow should steam into this harbor with the intention of landing bluejackets to shoot down the working men of the city, that WM absurd. Thinka He Waa Given Away Alderman Newton said thai it wits very unfair to himaell that he should have been quoted as the councillor who asked who was to bear the expense of bringing in the navy. He felt certain that the whole information regarding thc secret meeting had been given lo the Optimist by thc ex-Chief of Police who, he said, wits disgruntled at the council, and bad a grudge against himself. Where Are Telegrama.' While saying that he was glad the Rainbow had not actually lieen summoned to Prinee Rupert to shoot men down, Alderman Pattullo wanted to know exactly what instructions were given to the Acting Mayor, why the meeting was secret, and why the tele- Helpf ul Talks to Business Men Mr. Storekeeper Do You Know? That time is valuable- your time, and your customers. Aim to economize by consistent, adequate and detailed advertising in some paper which goes into the homes of thc people. That kind of advertising brings business. Consult The Optimist Krams sent were still kept secret. Could not a copy of these telegrams be found'.' Alderman Hilditch who occupied the mayoral chair for the evening declared that if such a copy existed hc did not know where to find it. For the Men's Sake Absent himself from what he called "this caucus" Alderman Morrissey ruth- i er inclined to the opinion thai ii might \ be in the Interests *." ihe Prince Rupert Industrial Association tn have the1. Rainbow here to exercise a restraining | influence. In "ending for the navy the; council were not going beyond their duties. Here Alderman Hilditch hastened to say that it was not a meeting of council' at all, but simply a consultation with' the ex-Chief of Police the outcome of the announcement that McMordie was to bring up 100 strikebreakers. "It seems," remarked Alderman Pattullo, "that the members nf council are trying to shunt the blame on to ex- Chlei McCarvell to get out of the difficulty themselves." Brave Boy, Clayton At this Alderman Clayton came ill with his view of it. He had btvii at Ithe secret meeting. The only instruc- | tions given by the council to 'he Acting Mayro were as slated. For his own part. Alderman Clayton said that he believed there were men in this town who were willing to work for the :I7 \-2 cent rate- beCaUM they had wives and children lo support and needed the money. "I will have these men protected,!1 he thundered, "1 do not care if it takes all the militia in Canada to do it, I will have the militia here." This declaration of opinion was received with boos from tbe strikers present. "1 am ready to stand by this," added Alderman Clayton concluding. Were Men Deceived?

Agent A Talk About Play The good that organised games for | girls in the schools may do in bring-j ing students into the fresh air and In I'urnishin wholesome excitement and j variety into their lives, many teach-j ers know by experience. Outdoor sports, properly managed, furnish one of the best correctives for the fault.-* peculiar to girls. There can be too much, however, of this as of other good things. Thought- lul observers have disci vered that it is a fallacy to believe that physical exercise is a cure for mental weariness The man or woman whose brain is tired needs rest just as much as the person whose muscles are overstrained. It is true that before the stage of weariness is reached, exercise is a help to study, just the case rise is a help to study, but the case is very well put by a woman physician who writes for the London Express. She says that "Girls as well as boys, require moderate, regular exercise in the fresh air if they are to keep in health. School game are excellent so long as they are played judiciously, and do not entail mental and physical exhaustion. The great danger is that school girls' athletics���by causing further fatigue when the girls are overtired with study, worn out with the strain of concentrating their attention on one lesson after another, from breakfast time until afternoon���do considerable damage. "It is a medical fact that excessive mental and physical strain means loss of vitality. The hi. her the type of girl the more she will try to accomplish mentully and physically what is expected of her. When the brilliant student suddenly breaks down for no apparent reason, in nine cases out of ten the real cause is over-athleticism und over-pressure at school combined. Any exercise that is to be beneficial must be obtained regularly, without excessive strain or fatigue. "Like most good things, physical culture can be overdone. Let girls play games and enjoy physical exercise in the gymnasiums by all means, but guard against anything in the shape of excess." pion of pork and beans. Hs says this dish contains more of the ingredients of nutritive food than any other, and Ito meet the objection that pork is indigestible, he says it should be minced fine, until il disappears in the cook- I ing, ir. which condition it is as easily | digested as a piece of steak and of much more value as a food. In view | of the high price of everything, if pork and beans could become popularized, ! a good many housekeeping bills would j be materially reduced. THE LITTLE CHILDER IN THE STREET The little childer in the street��� It's shipwrecked sure they are with cold, There's some of them not eight years old, And ne'er a boot upon their feet. To beg a copper they go far In rain and frost, in snow and sleet. The little childer in the street��� You'd pity them the way they are. There's other childher warmly clad That live in houses in the Square, They all have coppers and to spare, The sight of them would make you glad; A nurse, be sure, is never far To shield them from the rain and cold; They're guarded like a bag of gold��� You'd envy them the way they are. Now them that look so rich and grand And them that shiver in the street��� I wonder will they ever meet And walk together hand in hand. I do be thinking when they're small It's like they are as peas in pod; Maybe they're like as that to God��� It's sure enough he made them all. ���W. M. Letts, Westminster Gazette DAILY COOKING RECIPE When Buying Fur To those who wish to avail themselves of the opportunity thus offered, an expert recently gave good advice. First of all, he said, do not choose white fur unless you are a ravishing beauty and a moneyed woman. The white is very- trying to the skin, bringing out all hard lines and showing by contrast any little defects in the complexion or features. For youth the soft white fur is appropriate, if you have money to keep it in a state of snowy cleanliness, and if you are the possessor of another tet fo.- morning wear or for stormy- days. Of course you must not wear ermine or fox with business suits or with storm coats. And, above all you will not wear white furs if there is any doubt as to the whiteness of them. Chinchilla is another expensive fur from which th" women of limited means should resolutely turn. It is beautiful, and, being grey, combines so well with any shade, that it is apt to tempt the unthinking. But it is perishable, and does not "make over" with much success. Cranberry Fritters Cranberry muffins are a delicious and novel variation for the daily menu; sift together two cupfuls of flour, three heaping tablespoonfuls of baking powder, one-half cupful of sugar and one teaspoonful of salt. Beat two eggs and 1 1-2 cupfuls or sweet milk and stir into the dry ingredients, then add two tablespoonfuls of melted butter and one cupful of halved berries. Bake twenty minutes in a hot oven. They may also be served with a sauce. Sir Hiram'a Advice Sir Hiram Maxim has appeared in a new role. This time it is as a cham- ELECTED NEW FIRE WARDENS Stewart Citizens Appoint Messrs.

Stewart, March 11.���The Portland Canal Miner in its current issue says in regard to the mining outlook at Stewart: "At the present moment there are nine working mines in the Portland Canal district, of which two resumed work just recently, but before the summer season starts this number will be increased to fully two dozen. Last year the camp was the sensation of the mining west and thousands passed through Stewart, the gateway to the mines, expecting to pick up a fortune in a week. Scores of companies were Hunted, and many went out of existence before the ink was hardly dry on the stock certificates, ln brief, Stewart experienced a touch of an old-time, typical boom. Since then it has sobered down to a straight, legitimate mining proposition where only those properties that can 'stand up' under investigation receive consideration from thc mining operator. When it is seen that out of some two hundred prospects at least two dozen will be represented this season in the development class, that the Portland Canal mine is now practically on a shipping basis, that the Red Cliff mine found ils copper ore in the long 1400-foot tunnel, proving the continuity of the mineralization down lo 500 feet, and that three smaller properties will ship ore this winter, the outlook is promising indeed. With spring the thoughts of the average investor in British Columbia turn to the possibility of mining stocks, and it looks as if the various issues of Portland Canal companies, that have for weeks past been stagnant, will once again come to the front. This, too, is the period when thc prospector and the mining operator are out for the necessary money to resume development or to seek new fields to conquer, and those who have stood by Stewart, as well as the Stewartite himself, will show their loyalty lo the camp. With thc completion of a railway as far as the Red t'lilf and Unbuilding of ii spur to the Portland Canal mine concentrator plant, costs of mining wilt be inateriallly retluced and transportation facilities afforded, and as the government expenditure in road and trail extensions will be a .substantial one the district should again be thc mecca of the operator. Though the ore bodies are nol as high-grade as one was led to expect, yet thc camp appears to have not only substantial commercial values, but a diversity of mineral contents that few others pos- leai in this province. Based on whai mi accomplished last year, the season of lilll should prove a substantially profitable one for investors in that section."

Fort George, March 11.--Survey parties will be despatched north soon to locate the line of the British Columbia and Alaska Railway between Fort George and a point in Southeastern Alaska. This was the announcement made by Mr. L. M, Rice, C. E., of Seattle, principal of the Vancouver and Seattle, the engineering firm which bust summer located the southern portion of the route extending from Lytton to Fort George. Mr. Rice stated that the work will be considerably advanced as his instructions are that the surveys must bc completed as quickly its possible. The railway compuny was incorporated by the Provincial legislature last year and a Dominion charter is now being s'.ugh at Ottawa owing to the international character of the project. The men behind the enterprise are well- known New York capitalists who havt large interests in Alaska. Mr. Rice explained that under the powers grin.ted by the British Columbia legislature the company also Secured authority to build a branch line lo Vancouver from some point on the Eraser above Lytton, Thus far he had not received any in- itructions to proceed with the survey of that portion of the route. Mr. Rice j is enthusiastic about the possibilities of an all-rail route from Alaska to Vancouver, owing to ihe vast region ll will open up for settlement and development. The northern terminus has not yet been selected.

The front page of last night's Empire is an object lesson in the art of misrepresentation. It has two prominent articles.one on the strike situution.and the other on Mr. D'Arcy Tale's interview at Vancouver. Both of then are flagrantly, and wilfully misrepresent alive. The wilfullness of the misrepresentation is so apparent, as to suggest '.lie purpose in each. The article dealing with the strike has a headline referring to the strikers' meeting, ll reads "Mr. J. S. Cowper Delivers a Speech of Inflammatory Nature." Not a word of the speech is quoted. The Empire had no representative at the meeting. The real purpose and nature of the speech is seen by the following resolution moved at the end of Mr. Cowper's speech "Resolved, That this meeting of the Prince Rupert Industrial Association pledges itself, win or lose, to continue to conduct the strike in an orderly and law-abiding manner." The other piece of misrepresentation is of more importance because it is less crude, and has more bearing on the future of the city. The article purports to be a reprint from the Vancouver World of Mr. D'Arcy Tale's bombastic Interview. This article is artfully cut in such a manner as to mislead the publie, while the headline reads "His Remarks Guarded." In thc lirst paragraph, where the original reference to Prince Rupert should read, "a trail little cily dependent on the Grand Trunk," etc., it has been altered to read "a city dependent," etc. The difference is obvious. The editor of the Empire would have reason to resent lieing called "a frail little man," instead of "a man." The worst misrepresentation, however, is where the following insolent reference is entirely deleted from the Empire's report: "If the matter cannot be adjusted, is there a possibility of the G. T. P. ���erminus being changed?" he (Mr. Tatet wus asked. "Construction will be delayed until it is adjusted," was the reply. This was the whole pith and kernel of the interview. To suppress this, und then headline the article "His Remarks Guarded," is a wilful inversion of the truth. The citizens may well question what is the motive behind all this. The Demand for H.M.C.S. Rainbow The best commentary on the action of ihe city council in sending for H. M. C. S. Rainbow to quell the riot in the excited brains of certain members of thc city council, is that a dozen people at least have inquired of thc Optimist whether the disclosures in yesterday's paper were true, or were they a gigantic houx at the expense of the council. The suggestion was perhaps quite pardonable to those who have no occasion to consider the serious consequences to a journal which would ensue if the fucts on so serious a matter were not true as reported. Fortunately the council has���though with great reluctance and with much obvious shuffling and evasion���last night admitted the truth of thc accusation. Indeed their shuffling and evasion was very eloquent on those pointa where they did not make an open confession. This was particularly noticeable about Chairman Hilditch, who at the outset told ihe workingmen that he knew absolutely nothing about the mutter, and twenty- minutes later to help out his collengues.mude u speech in which he admitted being present at the secret meeting and taking part in the discussion about procuring the services of Ihe war vessel for Prince Ru|iert. On top of this, came the offer of the men���heaping coals of fire on the heads of the men who met in stcrct and planned to have the Rainbow brought here to overawe them to give a hundred men or more lo thi. city f ee of charge to act ns special constables, und guarantee protection to any men who were willing to go to work as strikebieakers. It was the most effective reply that could have been made lo the men who would have brought armed force onto the scene. By exposing the attempts to bring in armed force, and thus by lhe pressure of public opinion making such inflammatory measures impossible, the Optimist hw gull'- a lung way to undo tho effect! of the council's burlesque treatment of the strike, ind pave the way to un honest und peaceable settlement of the issue.

The new*, ol the council's request for the Rainbow has stirred the desire of some of the local poets, to immortalize the event in verse. The following lines were received by thc Optimist this morning. Ship ahoy! Ship ahoy! A warship in the bay.

If it's news, you will find it in The Optimist When at last night's council meeting a recommendation was brought in by thc finance committee that Mr. E. Bratt be appointed accountant to the engineering department Alderman Clayton moved that the matter be laid on thc table until after the enquiry into the City Hall staff generally by the committee appointed for this purpose. The committee is only waiting for thc return of Mayor Manson to go ahead. As an amendment to Alderman Clayton's motion it was moved that the report be adopted. This motion was put to the council and Alderman Clayton said "No." He fancied he heard an echo or something, and started to his feet demanding that order be kept. Alderman Hilditch looked about him and pricked up his ears but heard nothing. J. Carroll of thc P. R. I. A. ventured the opinion that Alderman Clayton was troubled with imaginations. This was thc second time Alderman Clayton had heard voices when there were none. In this opinion Alderman Pattullo was inclined to agree. He remarked that Alderman Clayton had rather touchily imputed quite wrong motives o him once or twice thai evening already. The motion adopting the report was carried.

On what business did the Acting yor proceed to Vancouver leaving riiy without an official head?" ������'I Alderman Pattullo at the council ��t night. It sri>ms a very wrong thing to do leave the city without a head, es- dally ;it a time when the city council inks the outlook is so serious that it Hd i for the Kuinbow," he continued. \ MCond nuestion asked by Alderman tuillo wits; "Hy what authority did ��� chairman of the streets committee ve instructions that certain workmen ployed in one class of labor should paid ;ii the rate for a different classi- Itlon? Why should certain workmen clataad itn sewermen though not B 'ruriing sewers?

Iii reply to the first question Alder- in lliltlitch stated that he understood ting Mayor Smith's business down ���� was private. " Ktinny thing," remarked Alderman ttttlllo "that the G. T.

Aa fur the second question Alderman Mitch when told by Alderman Pit- Mo that the engineering department Jj"' furnished certain information to I1"! remarked that the engineering ppartment like Alderman Pattullo had ���holelot yet to find out. '^'s." replied Alderman Pattullo, I hW is so, nnd so has the public a whole o lind out which it can't easily find Pm tiwinu to secret meetings and so on." Alderman Morrissey was in favor of the extension of the time limits but Alderman Newton said, "No, not if the contractors are going to bring law suits against the city." Want Conditions Improved Said Alderman Pattullo: "The carrying out of this motion means that the boys are noing to lose the strike. Therefore 1 ask that we take steps at once to see that the men working here get some sort of improvement of their conditions. Alderman Hilditi-li pointed out that one contractor (Watson) should have had his contract finished by the Tth inst. "Then," said Alderman Newton, "if he had had his work done he would have been clear of this trouble now, and not need to ask (or police protection." The motion was then put to the council and carried. Men Make Novel Offer On this, J. Carroll, one of t he P. R. I. A. men presort, asked leave lo s|>eak, and made thc offer that the P. R. 1. A. would undertake tie picket I ine of thc jobs and would see that no violence was offered the men who might want to go to work at the old rate. He remarked that this would save the city from $60 to $70 per day besides the cost of lumber for tending the jobs. Alderman Newton highly commended the plan. He said that it the P. R. I. A. would picket the works as stated, they would rise !I5 per cent in his estimation, and thought that their suggestion should be acted upon. Offer Waa Turned Down Alderman Clayton, however, did not approve of its being acted upon at all. The city was quite able to conduct its own affairs without assistance from the P. R. I. A. To Alderman Kerr it did not seem as if thc city needed to employ police protection for the contracts, and Alderman Pattullo was of the same opinion. Would Not Accept Pay A brilliant idea conceived by Alderman Morrissey that the city should engage as s|>ecial constables at wages, only members of the P. R. I. A. was quashed by P. Fisher of the P. R. I. A. who in a word by permission, stated that the rules of thc P. R. I. A. precluded iU members from acting as policemen for wages.

CHESTERFIELD ON DIGNITY Warns His Son Against Acquiring Reputation as Humorist DELIVERED TO ANY ADDRESS IN SECTIONS 1, 5 AND 6 EVERY DAY FOR Oc PER MONTH There is a certain dignity of manners absolutely necessary to make even the most valuable character either respected or respect able. Horse play, romping, frequent and loud fits of laughter, jokes, waggery and indiscriminate familiarity will sink both merit and knowledge into a degree of contempt. They compose, ut most, a merry fellow; and a merry fellow was never yet a respectable man indiscriminate familiarity either offends your superiors, or else dubs you their dependent and led captain. It gives your inferiors just, but troublesome and improper claims of equality. A joker is ntar to a buffoon, and either of them is the least related to wit Whoever is admitted, or sought for, in company, upon any other account than that of his merit and manners is never respected there, but only made use of. We will have such a one for he sings prettily; we will invite such a one to a ball, for he dances well; we will have such a one to supper, for he is always laughing and joking; we will have another, because he plays deep at all games, or because he can drink a great deal. These are vilifying distinctions, mortifying preferences, and exclude all ideas of esteem and regard. Whosoever is bad, as it is called, in company, for the sake of any one thing singly, is singly that thing, and will never be considered in any other light, consequently never respected, let his merits be what they may.���Chesterfield's Letters.

TIIOS. U. DAVEY Pub. Dec. 3. Wilson Gowing, Agent THE PRINCE KUi'ERT OPTIMIST PATTULLO WANTS COUNCIL TO ORDER INVESTIGATION Suggests in Letter That Work on Contracts be Completed at Old Rates, and a Proper Inquiry be Conducted in Meantime----No Action March 1.1, 1911 To The Muyor nnd Council, Prince Kupert, B. C. Dear Sirs,���On my return trom a trip south, I exceedingly regretted to find the state of affairs that now confronts thc city in connection with the lahor situation. Frankly I believe that the situation was aggravated by the action of the council. Equally frankly I believe that the action of the workers in going on strike was ill-advised. However, the situation is here and must be faced. It is my opinion that the strikers cannot hope to win the present strike, in which event their status certainly will not be improved by reason of the action which they have deemed advisable to take. This would be extremel; regrettable. I wish to suggest, therefore, as follows: The city shall pay the same wage as has heretofore existed, with a minimum wage of 37 1-2 cents an hour until all contracts, already let by the city, are completed; meantime a committee of investigation should be appointed who will thoroughly look into the whole situation in an expert way, to try and arrive at what is a fair remuneration for thc workers of Prince Rupert, in relation to the workers of other coast cities. When the contracts are completed the new scale of wages to be decided upon will go into effect. The council should meet the Industrial Workers an.l advise them of this course and urge upon them the desirability of acceding to it. At the same time, if the Industrial Workers do not see lit to accept the situation, they should be (irmly informed that they will not be permitted to interfere with work carried on by contractors. This course will protect the contractors; will show the good faith of the city; and will be fair to the workmen, as they may be assured of a higher scale at the end of a few months, assuming that the present rute is, as claimed, Inadequate. The workers, by accepting this course, will not only do a great service to the city, but they themselves will be money ahead. It was my opinion that the select committee, appointed to consider the wage scale, did not conduct an exhaustive or expert investigation, and, in urging the appointment of a new committee, I need hardly say that 1 do so with the most absolute and bona Ode intention of a thorough and ox|>crt investigation, with a view to providing adequate and proper remuneration for the workers of Prince Rupert, in order that ihey may live here in comfort and happiness. It might be well that the new committee should consist partly of men outside of the council. I have the honor to be, Your obedient servant, T. D. PATTULLO Why Put in Writing When the above letter from Alderman Pattullo was brought before the city council last night in the regular order of business there was some doubt about what should be done ubout it. Why not simply receive and file it? suggested Alderman Morrisey. Alderman Hilditch thought that Alderman Pattullo could have done as well by stating the substance of his leiter in council. "Perhapi so," said Alderman Pattullo, "but this is a very important matter, and therefore 1 preferred to reduce it to writing so that there may not be any misapprehension about it." Clayton'a Opinion "To me it looks like a bit of cheap advertisement.'' suggested Alderman Clayton. "If the mailer is so very important, why did Alderman Pattullo go away down to Vancouver when it was being settled before?" To Alderman Kerr it seemed that there were valuable suggestions in (he letter, und hc moved that it be held over for consideration at next council meeting. Council'a Handling a Burlesque Remarking that the whole question had now got beyond the |)eii-nut politics stage, Alderman Pattullo said that the labor situation was one whieh the people of Prime Rupeit must handle properly. Up to the present time it seemed to him that the handling of it had been a bi of burlesque. Burlesque was a word which did not please Alderman Morrissey. He thought Alderman Pattullo had used it unwisely. The handling of the labor situation in a cautious manner by the city council he thought a wise policy. Already there were women and children in the city who might get nervous if there were any suggestion of rioting on accoi nt of the strike. The quiet way of handling the mailer adopted by the council, was, he thought, the best, and it ill became any alderman to style it a burlesque. Someone Doesn't Alderman Hilditch fancied that Alderman Pattullo did not quite understand the situation. "I understand it quite well," retorted Alderman Pattullo. "The trouble is that others don't understand it." Eventually on the motion of Alderman Morrissey seconded by Alderman Newton Alderman Pattullo's letter was recei ed and tiled. COUNCIL ADMITS CONTINUED FHOM PAGE 1 HAVE SURVEYED SOUTH BRANCH C. T. P. TO BUILD LINE TO VANCOUVER Line Will Run From Fort George��� Work Will not Start Until the Main Line of the Road is Completed. Engineer Gunn, of the Grand Trunk Pacific, last week completed his portion of the survey of the railway line from Fort George to Vancouver. The portion of the line under his charge joined that of the engineer working from Lytton a short distance below Soda Creek. This completes the survey for the complete distance to Vancouver. According to a statement of Vice-president Chamberlain work on ihe Vancouver branch will not be commenced until the main line of the railway is completed. It is believed by many, however, that trade interests of the Pacific Coast have brought lo the attention of the railway directorate the loss of trade coast cities will sulfa in being shut out from the markets of the northern interior for such a iieriod, and that the Vancouver branch will be commenced early in the spring. I Pattullo that his letter on the strike | question might be referred to again. | It was a mistake he thought, to have had it filed. Clearly the men had been deceived by the promises made them that they would get 45 cents an hour. This evoked from Alderman Clayton the remark that the thought Alderman Pattullo had a lot to learn yet, to which Alderman Pattullo retorted that there were others. Could'nt Trust the Clerk Alderman Hilditch thought it time now to refer to the original subkect of discussion, the letter from the P. R. I. A. about the reference to three "criminal" strike leaders. He declared that the term had never to the best | of his knowledge, been used at all, and 1 Alderman Newton agreed with him, i moving that the City Clerk be instructed ! to write to the P. R. I. A. to this effect. ! On the suggestion of Alderman Mor- i rissey it was agreed that Alderman Hilditch should help the City Clerk concoct the letter. Carried. PROBLEMS FOR STEWART Wharfinger is Wanted, and Question of Sewage Plans Stewart, March 13.���At a meeting of the Citizens' Association Executive Committee, held in the Chamber of Mines building on Thursday evening, called to discuss the advisability of having a wharfinger at the dock, it was decided that the committee meet the different transfe compa ics in town and after consultation with them to draw up some from of agreement by which thc transfer companies should pay thc wages of a wharfinger, this agreement to bc submitted to a general meeting of the Citizens' Association to bc held on the 24th of March. It was also decided to write to thc Steamship companies regularly entering this port and ascertain whether they would help defraying the cost of keeping a wharfinger. The next general meeting to be held will be a most important one as several questions of vital importance to every citizen will be brought up, including that of the city's sewerage system, the plans of which have now been received from the government, and it is hoped that all who possibly can will be present. ���~~,> j Northern Produce Co'v WHOLESALE PROVISIONS FRUITS and VEGETABLES J Send for our Weekly Price List ( PROMPT ATTENTION GIVEN J SHIPPING ORHKRS Phone 151 Phone 151 ���"^ixirvii^^,!

LAST YEAR REAL ESTATE OWNERS IN Western Canada MADE $100,000,000 From thc most accurate figures obtainable, over One Hundred Million Dollars was made by real estate owners In growing cities and towns of Western Canada last year. This vast wealth was exclusive of improvements and represented actual increase in land values alone. Original records gathered by the Winnipeg Free Press prove that in eight western Canadian Cities the value of land alone���not counting improvements���increased 562 per cent, for the last five years���an annual increase of 112 per cent, for each city during the last live years. These figures indicate that investments in live, growing cities in Western Canada are as safe and sure as an investment can be, and that 100 per cent, profit each year is almost a certainty. THIS YEAR THEY WILL UNDOUBTEDLY MAKE $100,- 000,000 MORE You have an opportunity now to participate in these immense profits by being one of the original purchasers of town lots in the (irand Trunk Pacific addition to thu fast growing Western Canadian cities, otherwise known as Grand Trunk Pacific Railway Division Points WATROUS, MELVILLE, WA1NWRIGHT, BIGGAR The Grand Trunk Pacific offers in these splendidly located, fast growing Division Points and in the townsite of Tolield an opportunity for the investor to share in the large prolits that are sure to accrue as a result of tbe rapid and substantial growth that characterizes Grand Trunk Pacific Division Points and well located cities and towns in Western Canada. The Grand Trunk Pacific does not offer townsitcs or additions so located as to make investments in them of questionable value. The object in selling then lots at the low prices at which they arc offered is to encourage tbe upbuilding of these cities from which the Grand Trunk Pacific will derive vastly more benefit thin from the sale of lots. Now is the time to buy. Choice lots range from $100 upwards on easy payments of 10 per cent, cash and 10 per cent, a month.
