Polity of Commissioners Against Two Licenses in One Name Results In Withdrawal of Application At the sitting of the license commissioners on Friday afternoon it was made evident that the board is not in favor of one man holding more than one license, even though the licenses so held are of different characters. As a result of this (dereislon being reached C. ,7. Maynard had to decide between a bottle license or a wholesale one. He chose the former. There were present at the meeting the full board, Mayor Manson, Alderman Smith and Commissioner Merryfield. The minutes of the previous meeting were amended in part by the striking out of some of the remarks made by Aid. Hilditch, who sat as chairman at the last meeting, VV. E. Fisher, acting for Austin Brown, brought up the question of the latter's application for a bottle license. He wished to know if the license was refused on the ground that the statutory declaration was not made in writing. If it were he thought it might be reconsidered, as there was nothing obligatory as to its being in writing. The board ruled that the application had been refused and It could not come up again. On the application of S. F. MacDonald for a whilesaie license, Commissioner Smith wanted assurance that the business would be run by the applicant. He did not favor the 1'lan of these licenses being granted and then being transferred to others. This met the views of the board, and as Mr. Fisher, tlie solicitor for Mr. MacDonald, could not give the assurance sought, the application was withdrawn. The application for a renewal of the license of Alex. Prudhomme of the Savoy Hotel wns next brought up. His worship said that with clause in the bylaw suspended which required a formal notice as to a renewal of a licence there was no need of the hoard taking any action in the case. The clerk could issue the renewal as a matter of course. He suggested that the chief of police might be heard as to whether there were any complaints against the house. _ Chief Vickers said there were none. His worship said the clerk could issue the renewal. The renewal of the bottle licences then came up for consideration. His worship said that it appeared that Mr. Maynard held in addition to this bottle license a wholesale license. He had received information that the other bottle license issued by the board was really being or about to be operated in conjunction with this one. There were, in fact, two bottle licenses to be operated together in different establishments. This was an objectionable way to have their licenses and he thought they should be run entirely separate. They were in the same shape as Mr. Prudhomme with respect to renewal. The board did not require to take any action, the clerk being at liberty to renew them. Addressing himself to Mr. Carss, who appeared as counsel for Mr. Maynard, his worship said that at the expiration of the next six months they might have to face a difficulty. The1 principle of holding two licenses wai bad. He felt that his client should be obliged to decide to drop one of the licenses, either the wholesale or the bottle license. Mr. Carss said he did not know of these bottle licenses being issued as a partnership. While the two applicants were friends and assisted each other in the preparing of the petition he knew they were not associated in the business. It was foreign to him that there was any partner ship. Mr. Carss did not think there was anything to prevent a wholesale license being held by the same per son as a bottle license. His worship thought it was an objectionable way of having the license. .. - iwu Commissioner Smith felt, In view of this attitude by his worship thai the board might decide to grant only- one license to any holder. A motion by Commissioner Smith along this line carried. Mr. Carss asked leave to consult with his client, who, after consultation agreed to drop the wholesale license. The application for a renewal of Maynard's wholesale license was then reconsidered, it being stated by the clerk in reply to a question that while the license had been ordered renewed it had never been issued. Mr. Carss asked leave to withdraw the application for a renewal of the wholesale license, which was granted. His worship, addressing Mr, Carss relative to tlie bottle license, said that there had been some doubt hitherto is to whether a bottle license was a retail license within the meaning of the act. The point was now up before the courts. If it should be decided that a bottle license was a retail license within the meaning of the Act then the holders of these bottle licenses should be prepared to be the first to be dropped should it be found advisable to lessen the number of licenses within the city. As to the two parties being interested together in. both licenses, he warned Mr. Carss that he should be in a position to give information at the next sitting as to there being two separate licenses in every sense of the word. If he is not able to do (Continued on Page Eight) o DAY LABOR FIGURES Reports Presented to Council Show That Money Has Been Saved. Strets Cost Less Under the Public Works Department Than by Tenders Submitted A report was presented before the council last evening which showed a gratifying condition in connection with the public works department in the city. His worship, upon the presentation of the report, said he thought Supperintendent MacNeil was to be congratulatd upon the success with which he was conducting the department. The report was in connection with work done ou Seventh avenue, where a number of residents, after calling for the plank roadway and the nee essary steps being taken to provide it, petitioned against the work proceeding unless it were done by awarding it to a private contractor. The work was continued under the day labor system and last evening the engineer's report was presented as to cost, The lowest tender for the work would have entailed $586.81. The work was done by the city workmen for $502.90, making a saving of over $80 to the residents. Aid. Hilditch, upon the presentation of the report, called attention to the fact that the lowest tender in this case was the lowest that had ever been received by the city, which made the figures all the more gratifying from tbe day labor standpoint. Another report was presented by the city engineer relative to the grading being done by the city between Lynch's and the Knox Hotel. Under the lowest tender the work so far would have cost $2 411.92. It was being done by the day labor system and has cost so far only $2,071.74, making a saving of $340.- 18 to the city. . o S.MALI, DKItTS COURT Olty Solicitor Reports U]K>ii Necessary Steps to He Taken » the Before the council last evening, a report was read from the city solicitor, Fred Peters, K. C, dealing with the question of a small debts court here. He showed how the court was usually constituted. Either the police magistrate or Some one else was appointed for the purpose and while the aim is to provide a cheap means of collecting small debts yet by taking advantage ot the power conferred upon the county court judge the process of collecting could be done inexpensively if a lawyer were not employed. Aid. Clayton thought the matter might be more fully looked into, which will be done later. o Thomas Hysllp has applied for the position of engineer of the street roller and Frank Deny wants the post of engineer on the rock crusher LOCATING SMELTER WORKS IN THE NORTH ADVANCED WORK ON SCHOOL BUILDING BLOCKS Mr. Yolen Williams Representing the Granby Company is Making an Examination Into the Whole of the Mineral Area Which May be Tributary to the Reduction Plant Which His Company is to Erect in This Territory. William .lolen Wil'ianis, consulting engineer of the Granby smelter, is spending a few months in the northern part of this province and in Alaska and the Yukon investigating the mining outlook for his company. His visit here is a promise of greater developments on the part of the company he represents. Mr, Willias has, in company with other officials of the company, examined the mineral deposits at Hidden Creek and Alice Arm. They also have visited Stewart and while there went up to the mines and saw what the prosperties had to offer in the way of prospective producers. Mr. Williams will leave here for Prince of Wales Island on the first steamer and intends then to proceed to White lorse and Conrad City to see what those centres have to offer. It is possible also that he will pay a visit to Hazelton and that district before he is finished with his work and may also go to the Queen Charlottes or any other points nearby where there is any prospect of ore being produced in quantity. Mr. Williams explains that his mission is one of seeking exact information relative to the territory which may come within the radius of the smelter which his company has in view. Asked if he was seeking to purchase properties, Mr. Williams said he was prepared to buy if he saw anything which appealed to him as a good proposition at the price offered. He sought, however, to get exact information as to the mining wealth of the north before the plans of the company were formed for the smelter works. The character of the ore to be treated is being studied so as to adapt the works to the supply. He confirms the statement, made by Mr. Sylvester, made to the Journal some days ago, to the effect that tlie location of the smelter was not yet decided. While the company owns the Hidden Creek mines and have an immense body of re there the whole proposition of supply from all points is being looked into. Stewart will be considered and also any other points that have attractions from the standpoint of business. Accompanying Mr. Williams on his visit here is Mr. Newton, who is in charge of the drilling work at the Hidden Creek mine. The property is heing fully developed by the company. Mr. Sylvester and other officials of the Granby who have been to Goose Bay and Stewart have gone south after examining into the siua- tion. A conversation with Mr, Williams leads to the impression that the Granby company has in view immense plans for this northern country. There is abundance of ore which is easily treated and the supplies from the different points work well together. It is probable at first that the works will reduce the ore to matte which will be shipped to the refinery. Later it may become advisable to complete the whole process on the ground where the smelter is located. The indications point to a town of probably 3,000 or 4,000 people being provided for at Goose Bay if the works are located there, as there must be the double staffs for the smelter and for the mines at the one place. This population would not naturally be reached at once as the work of construction will take some little time. Mr. Williams is well pleased with ttuj, outlook in the north. He admits that the ground has never really been gone over yet. It is just beginning. The riches of the northern part of the province are quite the equal of the southern portion, he thinks, and rich returns should follow the opening up of the districts, Trustees Request Names of Those Who Have Passed tlie Entrance Who Will Attend Next Year The school trustees are anxious that all pupils who have passed the High School entrance examination shall be given an opportunity to continue their studies in the school here, although there is at present little prospect that a high school room can be opened. Another course seems to present itself, which is the opening of what Is known as a superior school, here, which allows for advanced work being taken up by the principal Tbe trustees are desirous of having all the information possible at an early date so as to take the course which seems best. The department at Victoria, may have to be communicated with in the matter and in order to have the whole in proper shape to deal with intelligently a request is made by the chairman of the board, D. G. Stewart, that the names of all pupils who have passed tlie entrance either here or elsewhere and who would attend and take the advanced work next term be given the board. This may be done by communicating with the principal, Mr. Hunter, or the secretary of the board, W. D. Vance, city hall, or by informing any member of the trustee board, D. G. Stewart, L. V. Bennett or O. H. Nelson. TEMPORARY WATER City Council Grappling With the Question of Preserving a Supply During Dry Weather. . .

Douglas Is Taken to Task for Insinuation as to Frame Up At the council board last evening the question of Chinese laundries was brought up, when the members of the council present all expressed disapproval of tbe Mongolians and a readiness to do whatever could be done to favor the local white laundry. The subject was introduced by Aid. Douglas whose remarks in connection with it showed that he has been jealously guarding It in order that he might have all the kudos that were to come from its introduction. He seemed to be afraid that some cider might go elsewhere and was prepared to lead in this instance rather than play the role of corroborating the statements of his prototype, Aid. Newton. Aid. Douglas raised a complaint that the Chinamen were going about gathering clothes on Sunday. This interfered with the Pioneer laundry, which employed white labor. He did not think It was fair to white labor and something should be done. Mayor Manson suggested that later, under the head of motions, Aid. Douglas might bring In a motion if he saw fit dealing with the subject and then It would be properly before the council. The question of procedure being introduced, Aid. Douglas excused himself for not giving notice of mo Hon in this matter because he was afraid of some "frame up." "At one time," he said, "1 couldn't get in on this council. Things are looking different now." His worship at once checked Aid Meeting This Evening to Arrange Schedule and other Important Natters. Grat Interest Being Taken Among the Young Men of the City A meeting of those interested in tlie formation of an indoor baseball league will be held this evening at 7:30 in the police court. Alderman George Kerr will preside and it is urgently requested that all delegates be on hand punctually. It is believed there will be at least six teams entering and consequently there will be a large number of games to be played. One of the most important items is the appointment of umpires and care should he exercised to see that they are well qualified lor the position. Some little opposition has been anounced with regard to the signing up of 12 players leach team being allowed that number), which, it Is claimed, would work a hardship on some of the teams, it is earnestly hoped that the game will be kept strictly amateur.

At the meeting of the city council last evening the figures for the putting in of an auxiliary water supply from Morse Creek to meet, the demand of the dry summer and probably a part of the winter were considered. The figures were submitted by the city engineer and showed tne following: Underwriters pump — capacity 500 gal. per min. with valve fittings ....$1,104.00 Erecting pump and boiler. . 518.00 Laying section pipe and connecting pump with proposed 12 in. main at corner of Eleventh street and Second avenue- .... 2,346.84 Shop value 167.20 Repairs to dams 450.00 Second avenue between Fifth and Sixth streets will be further improved by the. addition of two substantial blocks which are to be put up by the Westholme Lumber Company. These are on the lots owned by Clift Tod and which have been leased by the Westholme Lumber Company. The lots have been cleaned of rock and work wil begin on Ihe buildings at once. Within 60 days Mr. Albert, the local manager of the Westholme Lumber Company, will have the premises ready for occupation. These are each double lots, on either side of the premises occupied by J. Fl. Rogers, ,1. ii. Kugler and the Continental Trust Company. They will be substantially built in accordance with plans prepared by W. L. Baker. They will contain quarters for stores witli office apartments above. On the lots nearest Sitxh street there will be equipped a vaudeville theatre. It is said that Pantages will take a lease and occupy the theatre, putting the house on the regular circuit of that company. in conjunction with other property owners in the vicinity the Westholme Lumber Company asked the council to give sewerage connection with the building to be erected on Second avenue. David H. Hays >ias commenced work on his new block on the corner of Second avenue and Second street. The foundation is now being put in. The buildings on Second avenue that were helow the new grade line have all bepn raised to the proper level now and are ady for the completion of the fii ing and the construction of the sidewalk.

It was pointed out that while $5,000 was a large sum of money to expend on an equipment that was only temporary yet it seemed necessary to do it. Last evening many of the members of the Presbyterian congregation gathered at the old church building on (lie G. T. P. reserve to bid adieus to the structure that had been associated with the arlist history of the church in this city. The place was raxed to the ground by friendly hands as the first steps toward making way for a more pretentious building. Many of the ladies of the congregation were present to see the work done. The new church will be put up on the lots purchased on Fourth avenue. It will be much more pre- tentious than the old one but will be a temporary church also. o o- Ilnst Nuisance Aid.

If that is not possible the dams will be repaired and steps taken to instal the additional plant which may be necessary lo secure » water supply. The public will be required to use water just as sparingly as possible during the dry weather so as not to endanger the supply. There will be steps taken also to cut off all waste wherever possible. The G.T.P. will be asked to co-operate In Ihis. It was pointed onl in the latter connection that while the company die try to avoid the use of any more water than was necessary Quit there was careless work by visiting boats, which left the water .running after using tbe supply.

History of Hie Siege of Port Arthur Is Recalled General Nogl is a type of his country—a grim old warrior, silent, sombre passionate, This was my Impression when I first met him in the trenches before Port Arthur, wriits William .Maxwell in the Overseas Mail. I bad come from General Ku- roki's army after the battle of Sha-ho and did not look for a cordial welcome. But. the grip of General Xogi's hand and the message he gave me to send to England reassured me, and before the siege ended I found under the coat of mail a profoundly sympathetic and kindly nature. Every line of his spare figure and dark face, every hair of his grizzly beard, stands for strength and energy and resolute will. That is one side of General Nogi's character, and it is graven in fire and blood on the forts of Port Arthur. There is another side. When General Xogi grasps your hand and holds it fast the stern warrior vanishes and you are in the presence of a courtly soldier whose eye beams benevolence— a frank cordial, human man, toward whom you are instantly drawn as to an old comrade. On the night before the surrender of Port Arthur the handful of British and American correspondents invited the members of General Xogi's staff to celebrate the new year. We dined in a cavern dug out of the side of a hill, over which rolled the thunder of the guns, and were drinking each other's health when my Jap- States in Italy and have their testimony taken in their own houses. Counsel for the defence at once objected, saying that in 1S50 all ee- i lesiastical privileges had been abolished, and that churchmen of whatever rank were to be treated exactly as ordinary citizens, and dented that cardinals had the right to call themselves officials of the Italian state. He added that cardinals were not even among the number of those distinguished citizens from whose ranks senators of the kingdom may he chosen, and though in documents preparing the Great Law of Guarantee, eral character will prove wholly justified. "And in thus finding work for our applicants, we pledge ourselves only to send them to posts we have investigated and can guarantee reliable and offering adequate remuneration." The officers of the British Columbia branch are: President, Mrs. William .Murray; first vice president, Mrs. H. G. Ross; second vice president, Mrs. Wade; committee, Mrs. E. P. Davies, Mrs. Enthoven, Mrs. Flint, Mrs. John Hope, Mrs. .1. C. Keith, Mrs. Lefevre, .Mrs. Marpole, WATER NOTICR which regulates the relations between .Mrs. F. J. Proctor; extra advisory the Church and State in Italy, the cardinals were spoken of as equivalent to princes, in the documents itself there were no words attributing this title to them, nor. indded, had the Law of Guarantee ever been accepted by the Papacy. Even the famous decree of 1S68, which gave the cardinals precedence over the Knights of the Order of the Annunzlata, did not mention cardinals among the great officials of State, and in any case this decree simply regulated ceremonial, and had nothing to do with judicial procedure. The defendant Verdesi's advocate reminded the court that if the cardinals were treated as great officials of State in this case it deprived the accused of two legal guarantees of hearing what was said ahout him and of contradicting the evidence if he wished, which he could not do, not being present at the examination. Counsel for the crown, in reply, recalled that in 1879 General Ca- drona, who commanded the soldiers who took Rome, ordered the troops to render the same honors to cardinals as though they were princes of the blood, and cited several precedents for cardinals having been considered great officials of the State by the tribunals of Rome. After other advocates had argued on both sides, the court retired for nearly two hours in order to consider the omiiiittee, Mr. Marpole, Mr. William Murray; secretary, Miss Dorothy Davis; assistant secretary Miss Elsie Dodwell. anese interpreter whispered in my j question, and on its return the presi- ear the startling words—"I have just seen a Cossack with a white flag. I think Port Arthur is going to surrender. " I asked the chief of staff if i might send this news to England. "Wait till tomorrow," he said, with a smile that left no hope of persuasion. All night long the hills shook with the explosions of ammunition, for the Russians were destroying their ships and stores, and the sky was aflame. At dawn I found General Nogi marshalling his war-worn soldiers and bis heavy guns, and sending them north to join the the plain of Mukden. The True' Hen dent of the court read a long judgment, the gist of which was that it was not necessary to be a public official in order to enjoy the prerogatives of that position, and that he considered that the decree of 1868 might be taken as an interpretation of the law, and that, therefore, he ordered that the evidence of Cardinals Respighi and Martinellt should be heard in their own homes without the presence of the other parties to the suit. This not very important question is interesting as showing how anom- armies on j alous and difficult is the position j between the two authorities which I have their seat In the Eternal City; When I saw General Xogi again he I it is also an example of the desire was a changed man.

He Shows That There Was Foundation for the Attacks Made Apropos the recent utterances ot the Victoria Times to the business enterpries of the Fort Fraser Land Company, i. connection with which there appears to have been built up an edifice of erroneous conclusions upon a foundation of unreal "facts," there are one or two a'legatiotis advanced concerning which the Times is very much at sea, says the Col- onist. One of these statements is to the effect that the government, accepted applications for lands subsequently acquired by tbe Fort Fraser' Land Company as for second class lands, and ai the second clas lands' price, these lands being afterwards, offered for sale as first class, and so described in the company's prospectus. In reply to this statement the minister of lands, lion. Wiliani R. Ross, on being interviewed by the Colonist, I said that "all government lands when sold, as in these instances, are disposed of subject to classification, the government as a rule being una hie to ascertain when applications are' received how much of the land applied for is second class and leeewl much first class. This cannot be elee- termined until surveys are properly completed, and therefore the prices cannot be fixed as a general tiling when dealing with the applications.! The lands in which tlie Fort Fraser Land Company appears to be concerned have not as yet been Burveyed, with the exception of one sumII piece, and all must therefore be guess work as to the price which will he. demanded for them until such surveys are made. "Neither of the orders in council referred to hy the Times affeeie.el tbe purchase price of the lands in question. The first order in council, approved April 3, 1911, recited 'lhat these prices shall apply to all lands with respect to wnich the application to purchase is given favorable consideration after the date of the approval of this minute,' and as tbe purchasers of all the parcels in question were given favorable consideration long prior to April 3, 1911. Il Is obvious that they could not be held to be governed by the order in council in question. As the lands were not affected by this order in council they could not have been affected by the subsequent order in council of May 11, 1911, because this order in council was a modification of the first one, and applied only to lands which were Included in the first one." Baseless Accusation The Times has also said that "ii has been suggested to us that the first payment of fifty cents per acre was made by cheques, and that these, cheques had never been presented to the respective banks for payment." Referring to this, Hon. Mr. Ross pointed out that the department over which he presides "does not handle the moneys received with land applications. These moneys are paid into the government agents in the districts, who issue their receipts in duplicate, the purchaser receiving one, and its duplicate being transmitted to the department with the agent's certificate that the money has been paid." Everyone who knows Governmenl Agents Allison and Walker, through whom these particular transactions were made, will agree with the minister that "such a suggestion is preposterous." As a matter of record, the payments referred to in connection with these lands now being dealt in by the Fort Fraser Land Company were made in various amounts and at various times between February 25 and October 12, 1910. "We have no officia' knowledge of the Fort Fraser Land Company," added Hon. Mr. Ross, nor has the department sold an acre of land to this company or to any applicant for whom the company, from the departmental records, appears to be acting as agent. The lands designated as the lands which the Fort Fraser Land Company is said to be seeking to acquire are situated in various portions of the province, applied for by various Individuals, and staked by various agents. It would appear that if this company is acquiring any lands in the province it Is acquiring the rights of individual stakers. "With reference to the statement that 'about a year ago the government put a reserve on all lands In that district so that no such lands ceinld now be acquired at that price,' I have to say that so far as the reserve is concerned It only extends en tlie noith shoie of Ootsa lake, In the vicinity of which these lands lie, and as far as our maps and departmental information go, there are iliousands of acres of land in that I in mediate vicinity which are still unreserved and open to purchase or preemption." General Misapprehension. There appears to be a very genera I misapprehension, the minister! aeleli'd, as to crown land prices in e British Columbia, tlie impression j seeming to prevail that there werej fixed prices of $2.50 and $5 per acre for second and first, class lands respectively.
