Scheme Being Evolved by Which More Economical Management Can Be Maintained The city council was waited upon last evening my a large delegation representing the Industrial workers who ask 45 cents an hour for city work. The visit of the delegation was the outcome of the move made before election for thisli Increased pay. On Sunday evening a meeting was held when it was decided to at once make the request. It was explained last evening that the streets commilt.ee, under Aid. Hilditch is at work evolving a system of carrying on the work done by the city so that the best results may be obtained from lit, The details of the scheme will likely be ready for the next meeting of the council and under it Aid. Hllditch exppects that any increased pay which may be made will be more than counterbalanced by the effective work which will be possible. Make Requests A petition was presented by the Industrial workers, signed by A. L. Morse, (I. Casey and T. Maitland. Aid. Clayton wanted to know who these petitioners represented and how many of the association were citizens of Canada. He moved that representatives be heard before the council, which motion carried Mr. Casey said he represented the Industrial workers. The association wanted to know as soon as possible the viewis of the council on the subject. The weather conditions made It more costly to live so that they wanted to have the advantages to be derived from the increased wage scale as soon as possible. The fact that the men who acceded to the request of the association before election were returned at the head of the poll showed that this was a popular move. Aid. Clayton said that he was willing to grant the 45 cents an hour on condition that the association was largely made up of citizens. In reply, Mr. Casey said he thought over half were British subjects. In reply to Aid. Newton, the speaker said that the members were mostl ythose who worked on the streets and In the sewers. In reply to Aid. Kirkpatrick, the speaker said the association was local. It was not affiliated with any other body. Aid. Hilditch asked what the delegates thought had been the average wages drawn for the past three months by the men working on the streets. Mr. Casey said he thought that $45 a month would be a fail average. Aid. Morrissey wanted to know if if was the intention to have the ntw rate apply to existing contracts. Ni reply was volunteered to this Aid. Pattullo was in favor o. pay- Itu* good wages but he did not quite n<-.c flat a worker should (» too ift-ji" -'ant. It would no' be « i*e t' kill the goose that la.d tho Holder, egg. If the prices paid for the work were too high investors here would not sanction the work going on. Citizen Workers Aid. Newton explained that he had always favore dlncreased wages to citizen workmen. He never Intended to make that term apply to Canadian workmen only. What he intended was that any man who was prepared to make a home here should be Included under the term. Aid. Hilditch said that this was a business proposition more than a philanthropic one. He had studied the question and wanted to see workmen get the best possible wages. The men who were paying the taxes should be protected. He believed that by introducing the proper system the increase in wages might be allowed for and the taxpayers would not have to pay any more. He was evolving a scheme by which the men could give such service that the city would lose nothing. Aid. Clayton explained that he did not mean by citizens that they should be Canadians or even Britishers. What he meant was men who were willing to come here and make their homes inthe city and thus uelp to build up the place. He thought that was a reasonable demand. Aid. Pattullo explained that there was a wide variety of wages paid now by men in the council. Some were getting 37 '/& cents, others 4 0 cents, 45 oents and 50 cents. He moved that the acting mayor name a select committee of three to go into this. Aid. Clayton said he learned during his short term that there was a wide variety of wages paid. He understood that the chief engineer in city's pay, under Mayor Stork, one got $100 a month, while assistants got $130 and $160. Aid. Morrissey advised that the workers wait until the streets committee had evolved its plans by which expert foremen would have charge of the work and would by a wise management of it make a saving lo the city, even at Increased wages. It was decided to refer the question to a seleot committee to be named by the acting mayor, when notice will be given the representatives of the Industrial workers so that they can present their views before the committee. Related Motions Later in the evening resolutions dealing with the subject of wages came up and provoked a continuation of the debate. Aid. Newton moved in favor of I Continued en Page Bight) KISPIOX MURDER Brutal Act by Indians Who are Im plicated in the Crime. Perjury Charges May Uc Laid As n Result of the Examination (Speoial to The Journal) HAZELTON, Jan. 24.—The body of 'the Indian girl Janette, whose murder was recorded a few days ago brought to Hazelton for a post-mortem examination, disclosed the fact that there had been a murder of the most brutal nature committed. The body was terribly mutilated. The coroner's jury, after three days' examination of seventeen witnesses drawn from the Kispiox Indians, and one white man, returned a verdict of willful murder by a party or parties unknown. Several witnesses, endeavoring apparently to shield the guilty one, are believed to have perjured themselves while giving evidence and will be prosecuted. o WANT RAYS NAVIGABLE City Council Will Endeavor to Have the Inlets in Waterfront Kept Open In consequence of the G.

Hllditch said that in looking over the plans he felt that at a very small cost the G. T. P. could put In some abutments and girders to allow small craft to enter the bays After some discussion it was proposed to prepare a letter to be forwarded in connection with the proposition. , o Last evening in tbe Mclntyre hall a most enjoyable evening was spent at the Grand Scotch Concert and dance given under the auspices of J. S. Gray. The music was under the charge of Mr. Gray, which ensured the best, and every one enjoyed the entertainment to the fullest. THE DUNEDIN BLOCK Proposed to Amend Bylaw Before Proceeding Further With Demolition, New Method Under Which Legal Work of City Is Heing Carried Out The Dunedin block and the policy to be pursued in connection with it, caused a little ripple at the council board last evening. In conjunction with the discussion the question of the city solicitors came up. A report from the streets committee enclosed a written opinion from C. V. Bennett, stating that lie felt the council was within its rights in going ahead and having the building torn down, charging the cost against the owners. The committee recommended, however, that die matter should be delayed until the council bad a chance to amend the building bylaw where it was proposed to impose a penality upon the owners for not removing the building. Aid. Hildltdh explained that this had been a long time before the council. He favored going ahead and tearing the building down. There was a difference of opinion in the committee, however, and he was in the minority. Aid. Pattullo said the building did not seem to be any menace as long as it was not occupied. He preferred to leave this until the building bylaw was amended. Then the owners could be fined for allowig it to stand. Aid. Hilditch had no objection to the move of Aid. Pattullo, but it necessitated going to the solicitors again and finding whether there was the authority to fine a man for allowing this to stand. He doubted whether that power was given under the act. They had the power to tear it down. Aid. Pattullo should have moved in this direction last year. It had been up three months. Aid. Pattullo said he believed in crossing the bridge- when they came to it. ' .";" Aid. Hilditch said they had been crossing it for three months. Aid. Pattullo argued that the question had never come up in this way last year. Aid. Hilditoh held that the facts had all been before the council nd a move could have been made had Aid. Pattullo wanted it. Aid. Morrissey agreed with Aid. Pattullo on the ground that it would be wiser to avoid comlications. The occupiers of the building had been forced to leave and might come on the city for damages. Aid. Kerr wanted to know if the council could make the new amendment apply to buildings already standing. Aid. Pattullo said there was no doubt it could, as the building would still be unsafe after the bylaw was amended. Aid. Pattullo wanted to know if any solicitor had been engaged at any time adn under what arrangement. Aid. Hilditch said that the chairmen of the committees had met and had decided to have Mr. Bennett give advice as asked for. After a test of that method it could be found about what the work was worth. Aid. Hilditch wanted to know if any membe rof the council who was not a chairman of a committee could go to the solicitor and seek advice. A reference to the resolution was made, when it. was found that the duty of engaging a solicitor vested with the mayor and chairmen of the committees. Aid, Newton said thai his idea in moving the resolution was lo avoid having the solicitor consulted on all kinds of points without consideration. Aid. Pattullo asked If any scale of fees had been arranged for. Aid. Hilditch said this had not been arranged, but he understood it would be. There was an advantage in the new system which was seen this evening. There would be advice sought on any olnt that arose by the chairman of the committee, acting for the committee. The opinion would be given In writing nad would stnd. Thus they would avoid the reversing of opinions on the ground that a contrary one had not been given. o The city council will alt again next Monday evening. EXPECT BIG TRADE G.T.P. Rolling Stock at This Point is Being Constantly Supplemented. General Superintendent Meehan Is Preparing; lor Heavy Traffic in the Spring The constant arrival in the city of additional rolling stock for the G. T. P. is the' best assurance that the coming summer Is to see a lot ol' traffic handled on the line. Already the company has six locomotives on Bills end of the line each one of ..hem callable of hauling 1,100 tons on the road as it now stands. When some more ballasting is line anil general overhauling accomplished, so thai faster speed can be made, these engines wall handle considerably more than this. General Superintendent Meehan, however, expects to keep these busy with the opening of the spring. The rolling stock to supplement this end of the service is being added t all the time and there is considerable yet to be shipped from the south. Yesterday the great wrecking plant reached port and has been transferred to the rails ready for any emergency. This plant has a crane capable of lifting any of the locomotives in use here and placing it on the rails again in ease of an accident. It can lift 100 tons without inconvenience. In addition to the duty of serving as a means of "first aid to the wounded" rolling stock on the line, the plant can be ut to other uses. Mr. Meehan in fact is going to use it to hoist heavy material into the freight cars to be carried up the line and expects to find it of great value about the yard. o SELECTING INDIAN COUNCIL Metlakatla Reserve Has Nominated C."'didates to Contest __ Election A meeting of those qualified to vote for councillors for the Metlakatla Indian reserve was held last Monday to nominate candidates for the election as councilors. The following are the candidates selected: Ward I.—Albert Leigiiton, Sr., Roger Plerson, Albert Leighton, Jr., Henry Prevost, Joshua Leighton, John Leighton. Ward II.—Peter Haldane, W. Leighton, John Campbell, Peter Verm, Reuben Leighton, John Mac- kay, Kenneth Benson. The election will be by ballot. The council is, heing re-organized and good results should follow. o AFTER BLIND PIGS Police Force Seek to Stamp Out Illicit Sale of Intoxicating Liquors. Several Charges to He Henrd in Court Tomorrow Morning by Magistrate The city police force has waged war upon the sellers of intoxicants without licenses and upon other lawbreakers. The police court is consequently occupied with consideration of evidence against the retailers of spirituous liquors who have not licenses to sell. There are liquors of various brands on exhibition in the court room, the result of searches made by Chief McCarvell anil bis force, The evidence of Ihe men accused would tend to create the impression that In many of these places stocks of liquor are kept by private parlies to celebrate holidays by giving to their friends. Quick changes In ownership takes place also and the police have difficulty In securing ihe necessary evidence. Eva Tronce was called 1n court this morning, hut failed to appear In answer to the charge. A warrant has been issued for her arrest. Several charges of having liquor for sale without llcensj were laid over this morning until tomorrow at 10 o'clock. In several of these cases the police made searches and found liquor. W. E. Fisher Is prosecuting. • A Chinese place on Fulton street will have to answer a charge of selling opium against the law. The case HEAVY SNOW a. T. P. Line Has Trouble t< Keep Open on Account of It The heavy fall of snow does not seem to be peculiar to Prince Rupert. All along the coast and eastward on the continent similar conditions are being experienced. The peculiar feature of having sleighing is being met with in other cities where such a condition does not usually exist. General Superintendent Meehan, Superintendent McNleholl and Divisional Engineer Van Arsdol, of the G. T, P., returned to the city on Monday evening by special train, after a vain attempt to go through to the end of the track. About 45 miles out snow was encountered which made it advisable to come back. The company found it impossible to complete the snow sheds before ihe winter set in and the worst trouble is naturally experienced where the sheds are to go. The officials felt it was advisable to return rather than continue the difficult task before them. The clearing of the way will be left to the section men and to another locomotive and snow plow- that is on the ground. . o PROSPECTING TOUR Winter Parties are Out North of Hazelton Inspecting the Country. Vast Grazing District Said to Exlst- Mineral in Abundance, Also T. E. Hankin, John Blume and Herbert Mehan, operator at Fourth cabin, on the Yukon telegraph line, who has been on leave of absence for two weeks spending the holidays at Hazelton, have left for a prospecting tour north of Hazelton. Hankin and Elume will cruise a portion of the extensive country around the head watrs of the Skeena and will be away for the rest of the winter, with possibly one trip to town for supplies. T. E. Hankin is probably as well p.isted as anyone on the vast coun- tr ynorth of Hazelton and it is his opinion that it is one of the best portions of British Columbia. The great coal district cf which Groundhog mountain is a part is apparently hundreds of square miles in extent. There are prairies, covered at the lime of his visit with buffalo grass, which it took two days of travel to cross. The winter climate is mild and there is every indication that 'attle would thrive with little if any feeding between seasons. From Hazelton to Bear lake the mountains on the east bank of the Skeena show signs of mineral everywhere. COMPLAINTS IN WRITING Council Will Ask That This Be Done So As to Have Definite Record Aid. Morrissey Is still concerned about the lack of water on Ninth avenue. He explained to the council last evening that residents were constantly calling his attention to ilie silnation. There was pipe along- sjde the ditch, he said, for part of tlie way although he believed th" couplings wen. lacking. He wished something clone. This raised complaints of broken pipes elsewhere when It was suggested that in future complaints !"■ mado 'ii writing. RECEPTION TO CREW H.M.C.S Rainbow is Expected in Prince Rupert Within a Short Time. Couucil Take Steps to Accord a Hearty Welcome lo (he Officers anil Men The city council last evening considered the question of a reception in tlie Canadian training ship Rainbow, on her arival here. The vessel is on her first northern cruise as a fishery protection cruiser and will call he-re. Nu particulars have been received but it is anticipated that she will spend several days in port, her cruise lasting about six weeks. On the way north she will take the outside passage, calling at Alborni, on the west coast of Vancouver Island, and keeping a lookout for poachers. On the return trip she will go by the Inside passage. A committee consisting of Aid. Kirkpatrick, Aid. Pattullo and Aid. Clayton, was appointed to look after the reception. It was suggested that a banquet might be served the officers winch would be practically self- paying. The men will probably be tendered a smoker at the expense of the city. The acting mayor, Aid. Smith, is taking means to ascertain when the vessel will be here. o LIMBER PURCHASES Georgetown Sawmill Will Furnish Dimension Spruce for a Time The city council will purchase such dimension lumber as Is needed at present, from the Georgetown sawmill, This was decided upon last evening on a report from the streets committee. Aid. Hllditch explained that the Westliolme Lumber company could not assure dimension lumber until April 10. It was wise 1o obtain this from tlie Georgetown Lumber company wkhich could deliver the lumber In about a week. The price of $14.50 a thousand was not very muoh in advance of what the West- holme Lumber company asked for it. o WANTS REDUCED RATES W. V. McLean Seeks to Have C. P. R. Give Lower Tariff will come up tomorrow morning. A Japanese , giving evidence of being mentally affected Is being hold in jail. A charge laid against Wright, of the Frisco Billiard hall, was tried before J. II. McMullin this morning. John Johnson swore he bought Scotch whiskey from tne accused and produced a flask which he had purchased. The accused swore he never sold such a bottle. The magistrate felt ne could not convict the man. R. O. Jennings and C. Gilllngham, In charge of the road work under the provincial government In this district, wont south on Sunday morning on departmental business, Mr. W. F. McLean, M. P., In the house of commons a few days ago, introduced as an amendment to the government's motion to go Inlo supply, the following: "This house hereby declares that steps be at once taken to ascertain the rights of the public using Ihe Cnadian Pacific railroad to reduce the tarif (because of a provision In that regard contained in the Act of Parliament ratifying the agreement with the company, or any other act." Mr. McLean's contention was that parliament should Intervene on the strength of the clause of C. P. R. Act fo 1881, whereby the eompnny is, or was, bound to reduce rates when its net earnings should exceed ten per cent of the capital expenditure upon the railway. As against this It was pointed out that by tho ad of 1ST" when ihe company acquired the Crow's N'esl Pass frnn- chlse, tin. c. P, ii. was pledged to submit to the Jurisdiction of the board ol railway commissioners then in contemplation ami thai the com- panj had been under the Jurisdiction nl ihe board as to rail's ever since Hie formal Ion of the board th" same as other railways, Therefore, it was argued, redrafts of such grievances as .Mr. Mil."an complained of was ihe function of the borad and not ot parliament, The amendment was defeated, only one member standing up with Mr. McLean to demand "Yeas nnd Nays." o— — Aid, Kerr asked a question of the council last evening with respect to the bartenders' licenses. He found that $5 was collected for those who took out a license from early In the yeafr to January 15 only, it was explained that all the licenses expired on January 15, and July 15, no matter when taken out. Aid. Kerr thought'this worked an Injustice on the bartenders, but it was thought nothing could be done. PRINCE RUPERT JOURNAL Tuesday, January 24, 1911. ******* * * *** Supply the Money The inhabitants of Great Britain, notwithstanding the limited extent of the natural resources of their own country, and their need to purchase from ol her lands, and to transport from distant parts of the earth the greater portion of their supplies of food and raw materials, have been so successful in overcoming the obstacles placed in their path by nature that they have not only had the means of purchasing all the food, raw materials, and manufactured goods they have needed to buy from other lands for their own consumption and maintenance, but they have been able to create so much surplus wealth that they have supplied other nations with visible capital to the extern ol nearly 1:2,200,000,000, or approximately $10,000,000,000, as well as with a large amount of private capital, so that the total sum provided is estimated to be upwards of £3,500,000,000,000. The days of miracles are supposed to have passed bin hail anyone predicted two generations ago that in 1910 Great Britain would posses this great wealth abroad, over and above the vastly increased wealth of her own people at home, the prediction would have been regarded as beyond the possibility of realization, said the editor of the Staist in a recent lecture. That Great Britain has been so successful is undoubtdly due to the enterprise, courage, hard work and thrift of her people, which have caused them to save money in the first place, and in the second to use it wherever the best results were to obtained -whether in their own country or in other lands. In fact, wherever capital has been urgently needed and likely to obtain profitable employment the British investor has been ready to find a large part of the sums required. Sometimes the production of coal required to be expanded, sometimes the copper supply had to be largely increased, -sometimes tin, or nitrate, or gold, or silver, or lead, or power—in fact, British capital was available for producing anything that the world urgently required for its use. The result of this attiude of our investors has been an increase not only in the wealth of Great Britain beyond the dreams of the most sanguine, but an expansion In the prosperity of the whole world at a rate and in a im asure never previously witnessed or possible. The greatness of ih work accomplished by th investors of ('.real Britain cannot fail to impress every Impartial person. The lecturer, in weighing up the advantages which have accrued from Great Britain's policy of investing capital wherever it was urgently needed, said: "In ascertaining Ihe large amounts of capital that Great Britain has supplied lo individual colonial and foreign countries, one is compelled to recognize the powerful influence which Great Britain has exerted In developing the world's natural resources by supplying other countries freely with the funds for railway construction, for mining, and for the prodction of every kind of nature wealth. It is no exaggeration to state that Great Britain's enterprise in placing her supplies of new capital wherever they could be profitably employed has been one of the great forces which has made for the increased prosperity of the human race in modern times." The income directly derived by the British people from their investments abroad now reaches a very large sum. In the paper it is shown that he investment of about $2,700,. 000,000 of British capital up to the end of 1907 in other lands gave a direct income of £140,000,000 a year to this country, and it is fair to assume that he investment of nearly £3,200,000,000 gives a return of about £160,000,000 a year which comes to us in the produce of the countries in which we have invested capital, and thus provides us with no inconsiderable part of the supplies of food and raw materials we obtain from abroad. But the indirect advantages of the capital investments are quite as important as the direct advantages. By means of the capital which our investors have supplied the young countries and India have so greatly expanded their productions of food and raw materials that they have had the means not only of paying the interest due by them to Great Britain, but of pur. chasing greatly increased quantities of British goods. The prosperity of Great Britain, which has provided the capital, has been stimulated in thre eways: First, the remittance of capital to ^ i-'^^J'^-^ \? ' other lands has created a greatly increased demand for British goods. Second, the remittance of the interest upon the capital has increased Great Britain's purchasing power, and has given her the means of paying for a large part of her supplies of food and raw materials. Third, the investment of British capital abroad has greatly increased the production of other countries and given them the means of pur chasing additional quantities of British goods. Moreover, after 60 years of large investments the world's need of British capital Is greater than ever, and in 1910 the amount of British capital supplied to other lands had reached the unprecedented figure of £165,000,000, while in the last three years it has been £455,000,000. The investment of this new capital assures to -the world In general fresh supplies of foodstuffs and raw materials needed to feed and clothe her growing population. Furthermore, it enables other nations to purchase additional quantities of British goods, both by reason of the loans of capital and of their increased productions. In brief, the investment of British capital wherever it is needed brings advantage to everyone. In the Daughter States of the Em pire and In India the investment of British capital has been very great; In the aggregate it reaches £1,554,- 000,000, of which £83,000,000 has been supplied in the present year. In the three Daughter States of Canada, Australasia and South Africa the amount reaches nearly £1,100,- 000,000—a very large sum when we recollect that the total population of (Continued on Page Five) THE BIG STORE We carry everything to furnish your house, and have it in endless variety and in immense quantities.

PRINCE RUPERT JOURNAL THE TENNIS DOHERTYS Reginald F. Doherty, elder cf ti'ae brothers of the noted Englisa temofB team, who died recently, made his first, appearance on American courts in the summer of 1902 with his brother and Dr. Pim, forming the British team in an unsuccessful attempt to lift the Davis international cup. The matches were played at the Crescent Athletic club at Brooklyn and while the Doherty brothers won the doubles event, defeating Ward and Davis in four sets, 3-fi, 10-8, 6-3, 6-4, they lost in the singles contest and the cup stayed in America. Those matches were played during the first week in August and two weeks later the Doherty brothers entered the national championship at Newport, and R. F. Doherty went through to the challenge match, defeating former Champion M. D. Whitman in the finals of the allcomers tournament, in a four-set match. The next day R. F. Doherty met the title holder, William A. Darned, and was defeated in a four- set contest. The Doherty brothers returned the following year and made a clean sweep of the American tennis courts. They carried the Davis cup to foreign lands where it still remains, by defeating Lamed and Robert D. Wrenn adn his brother, George L. Wrenn at Long'.vood. R. F. Doherty was obliged to default one of these matches, but H. L. Doherty defeated R. 1). Wrenn in the other single match, and the following day the brothers defeated the Wrenn brothers in the doubles event. On the third day R. F. Doherty met R. D. Wrenn, while II. L. Doherty played Lamed, the matches being contested on adjoining courts. Both English players won in five hard sets. Two weeks later the Dohertys appeared In Newport, where they successfully defended their doubles Championship and won their way through to the filial challenge match in the singles tournament. Then R. F. Doherty gracefully waived a chance to meet Darned for the title and allowed his brother the honor of being the only foreigner to win the American lawn tennis championship. By reason of his height and length of arm, R. F. Doherty was wonderful in stopping drives, while his general game was marked by its graceful ease and calculating coolness. His steadiness, collided with his brother's brilliancy, made a combination that withstood the attacks of tlie best players in the world for many years. o IDITAROD DISCOVERER LAND PURCHASE NOTICES Tlie Iditarod discovery was made by W. A. Dikeman and John Beaton, according to Dr. D. H. Sleem, the "mushing doctor" of Alaska, in the Alaska-Yukon .Magazine. The two prospectors found gold in tlie first prospecting hole they sank on Otter creek, Christmas day, 1908. In the following spring after the break-up, they steamed up the Inuoko, bound for Ophir to record their claims. On the lower Innoko they met the Martha Clow, bound for Fairbanks, and it was the first to spread the news of the strike that threw Fairbanks into a turmoil. Every imaginable sort of craft was pressed into tlie service of reaching the new gold fields. An old-time stampede was on and the fever ran high. In such times In the north fortunes are quickly spent and made. The steamboat Tana was disinterred from its graveyard in Chena slough where it had lain decaying for years. It was put into immediate commission by its owner, Captain Langley, and cleared for him $20,000 in the firet trip. It is just two years ago since gold was first discovered in the valley of the Iditarod and only in the last year has there been actual production. Already more than $800,- 000 stands to the credit of the camp, with the probability of a $5,000,000 output in 1911 and a total output from ground already prospected of $25,000,000 to $30,000,000. While the original discoveries were in a limited area this is being steadily widened by prospecting and there is little doubt that the next year will \see a large district in that part of Alaska buzzing with productive activity and excitedly listening to the lure of new strike reports from still more remote points. From careful observaloin of the district made this pail summer 1 should say that opportunities for experienced miners will be as great next year as ever, that there will be much (good ground still unstaked and unprospecttd and many chances for lays on established ground not directly in the Iditarod camp of today.

CITY WORK The new city council, not excluding members who sat on last year's board, are showing a laudable ambition to grapple with the whole question of labor as it affects city work. Lasl evening a large pari ol the time of the council was given o, r iii consideration of this point, and every member showed a disposition to do what was right by all concerned. As the representatives of the whole mass of the people, the members of the council must do what they think is in the best, interests of the entire city, irrespective of the desires of any one class. The streets committee is evolving a scheme it was reported that is expected to remove many of the objections usually urged against the system of day labor. In too many cities the system of day labor is apt to degenerate into a sort /of charity proposition where men who are not able to compete in the open labor market find places in the city employ. In a place as young as Prince Rupert there are not many old men to provide places for. The city workmen are not asking for any favors in this respect as far as we have heard. They are prepared to do a good day's work without the charitable side being introduced at all. This is as it should he and by the selection of capable foremen who must, stand or I'all themselves according as their work shows up, many of the objections to day labor can he removed. In the final analysis, the matter gets down to day labor. The contractor or sub-contractor must employ the labor in that manner. It is to be hoped that the proposition wthich Aid. Hilditch will be able to put. forward will be such as to satisfy all sides giving as he hopes it will, increased value to the city for the money expended. The taxpayers will not object to the expenditure if it can be shown that full value is being got. ins been tranoserred to Fernie to succeed Chief Sampson, GOVERNMENT WILL ASSIST VANCOUVER—Although it was a signal success as an advertisement and as an educative feature, the first Canadian apple show held here closed with a deficit of $6,558. To 'I o enable the promoters of the exhibition to meet this deficit they came to the executive requiring a special grant of $5,000, despite the fact thai the provincial government had found itself unable to make the apple show a gram when It was originally promoted, the government having already materially assisted Ihe Vancouver exhihtion. In view, however, of tlie unforeseen and unforeseeable circumstances whirh operated chiefly to occasion the apple show deficit, the government has found itself justified promising that the sum of $4,000 will be placed in the estimates at the approaching session whirh will reduce the deficit very appreciably. In addition Hon. Mr. Bowser has recently received from the Canadian Pacific Railway company a cheque for $1,000 as a compllmentar donation to' assist the apple show promoters in closing their account with credit, NEW ZEALAND CALL Agreement for Subsidy for Mail Line of Steamers Nay Evclude Australian Ports.

His talents have elicited a general admiration and his personal qualities have made a host of warm friends who will be most unwilling to hear of his departure. CLEARING CANYON QUESNEL—The Dominion contractor, Fred Heyden, has returned from Fort George Canyon, having completed his work of blasting out the obstructions to navigation as tains his appropriation of $7,000 would permit. He reports that the steamers will have no difficulty in going through the main ohannel at either high or low water. The chief work was done on Ihe main channel or western one. The eastern channel, however, was also cleared o fthe larger rocks, and can now be used. A trail has been made so that the steamers will be able to line up with ease. SUCCEEDS CAMPBELL FERNIE—It is reported that Chief Constable Sampson of the provincial police district of Fernie, has been transferred to \ ancouver to take up the duties of chief constable of the Vancouver district, which has been vacant ever since the appointment of Chief Colin Campbell to the post of provincial liquor license Inspector. Constable John Munro, who has been acting in the absence of a permanent appointee at Vancouver, A despatch from Ottawa to the effect that the Dominion government and New Zealand have entered into a five-year contract with the Union Steamship company for a direct service between British Columbia and New /calami, a service which will supersede the present one to Australia from Canada, atracted considerable interest. The Canadian-Australian steamship service, supplied by the Union Steamship company and the Hud- dart Parker owners, the former supplying two steamers and the latter the new steamer Zealandia, has been for some time past negotiating for a five-year contract with Canada, Australia and Now Zealand. It was proposed to extend the present service by the inclusion of a call at Auckland, New Zealand. Canada and New Zealand wer agreed upon this, but the Australian government objected to the call at the New Zealand port, contending that New Zealand with better trade agreements with Canada would be placed in a much more advantageous position than Australia, and the commercial bodies of Brisbane also objected, fearing that the Auckland call would result in the call at Brisbane being cut out. South Australian bodies meanwhile were petitioning to have the service extended from Sydney to Melbourne. Sir James Mills, manager of the Union Steamship company, is now in Australia negotiating with The commonwealth government, and It is considered unlikely thta a definite contract, will be entered Into pending the completion of the negotiations in Australia. The Proposal The Ottawa despatch says the subsidy to be paid by Canada will be $37,000, and New Zealand will pay $20,000. It says also that the Ottawa government has decided, if Australia persists in the refusal to join in a contract lo include New Zealand to cut out the Australian J calls. There is still an opportunity, however, for Australia lo join in Ihe arrangement. It is unlikely thai a sen Ice which dues not provide a call al an Australian port, will he satisfactory, as the Canadian-Australian line has been in existence for many years, and a considerable business has been worked up between Canada and Australia, The Union Steamship company has prepared plans for two new liners lor the CanadlaiiAuslrallan trade, and it was seated some time ago that orders would he given for the construction of these vessels, larger than any now in the company's fleet, as soon as the contract was settled.

W. H. McLeod, and was very much appreciated by all present. This is one of a series of many lectures which Mr. McLeod intends to give for the benefit of the Brotherhood. Many interesting topics are in store for the members. Besides other business last evening, arrangements were made fori a debate for next Monday evening. The subject, which relates to the present police system of P Ince Rupert, should be very interesting and will call for a good deal of hard study by the speakers. The debate will be^jirartically improptu, any member having the opportunity to speak, although teams have been chosen In lead the different sides. The leaders arc Messrs. IL lingers and Hansen for the affirmative, and .Messrs. Stewart and Cowles for the negative. A request from the Presbyterian Young Men's club, stating that they were anticipating a debate in the near future amongst themselves, but thought it would be more Interesting if the Brotherhood should uphold one side against them. The Presbyterian Young Men's club had already chosen a subject and the. side on which they would debate, and would like the Brotherhood to oppose them on that subject. The Brotherdhood agreed and consequently a team, Messrs. Stewart and Cowles, wns chosen to meet the Presbyterians on February 8 to debate on the subject, "Resolved, that a lawyer Is nol justified in defending a criminal whom he knows to be guilty." The Brotherhood will take the affirmative side of the question. As this will be the first time the two organizations have come to gether to debate, it should prove a very lively and interesting talk on this subject. Some time ago a challenge from the Brotherhood was accepted by the Presbyterians for a debate, which should take place before Christmas, but as the Christmas season ana the Important meetings of a public character occupied a good del of time it was deemed wise to postpone the debate, and it will probably be held within the near future in the Baptist church. o •> * * * * * *»;«.;. * * * * .;..;. * * * »j».;«»;, »i. * * * * t MARINE NEWS I * * •:• * K4 "I* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * ***** The proposed excursion of the steamer Prince Rupert to the Hawaiian Islands, in the midst of the festive season at the mid-ocean port, will not be made.

The case is the one taken by the plaintiff to secure lots in the townsite of Prince Rupert upon an agreement alleged to have been made with Charles M. Hays, the president of the G. T. P. It is reported the case will now go to the Privy Council. action, as a large expenditure had been made to adapt the steamer particularly for just such a trip. As yet no definite plans are announced as to the immediate future of the Prince Rupert, although it is probable that she will return to the Vancouver-Prince Rupert run earlier in the season than had been provided for.

Since coming off the Skagway run, she has been laid up and to some extent overhauled at Victoria.

He Described Some of the Resources of the Northern Section in Speech in London Hon. Price Ellison, minister of finnce and agriculture, in the povin- cial government, left nothing undone during his recent visit to the British Isles to Induce settlers and Investors to come to British Columbia. At a dinner given in his honor at the Piccadilly Hotel, London, at which the Duke of Argyle presided, and where there were present a very distinguished group of guests, Hon. Mr. Ellison made a specially strong appeal lor British Columbia. His Grace ,the Duke of Argyle, described the minister as as coming among them looking like a God of Harvest, crowned with fruit and accompanied by baskets of apples about the size of a cannon ball. In the course of his speech, Mr. Ellison said: "And we have salmon, gentlemen. That needs no sowing, but Just the reaping. It means millions of dollars annually. We have the greatest deep water fishing In the world, and It is just waiting for gentlemen like yourselves to come there and make yourselves rich. Not that you need it—(laughter)—but you will help to develop one of the greatest industreis In the world. And there it is, the great deep wator fishing of British Columbia. There are millions in it. "Many of you have heard of Vancouver (laughter). It is the terminus of that great railway, the greatest and best modern railway and most successful transportation company, the Canadian Pacific railway, the Canadian corporation in which some of you gentlemen have been fortunate enougKh to put your money and I am sure you have never regretted it, genotlemen. But, by the way, it is not the only corporation that Is trying to get to the coast of British Columbia. The Dominion government have seen fit to subsidise and help to build the railway known as the Grand Trunk Pacific. This is an old and successful corporation, and they are going to Prince Rupert. The McBride Government, last year, appealed to the country on the railway policy. They were opposed to subsidising or assisting any railroads, in any way, shape, or form for six years. They sa'd, 'If a railroad comes to British Columbia, it must come on its own merits.' It seemed to be about the best thing to say. But if you are growing, and your pants get too small, you have got to get bigger ones (laughter). Now we are prepared to assist this company, the Canadian Northern company, one of the greatest and miost up-to-ttate companies an the world, and we assisted them and guaranteed the interest of the bonds, on $35,000 a mile to traverse British Columbia. I can assure you that the resources of British Columbia have only just been scratched over, and I wish to tell you her that the mines of the great Cariboo country will be brought in touch by the Grand Trunk Pacific railway, the greatest gold producing country in the world. It will require hydraulics and wator power to work It, but the output of gold will be greater than it has ever been; and in saying that I am not drawing on the imagination in the least, because today it costos from four to six cents a pound to put freight into the country, and when railways are built they will put It there for one-sixth. I am here tonight to Invite each and every one of you to come or to send that which makes the Empire great, I am here pleading almost as a parson that your souls should be saved, for you to come out to the west, where you get a hundred days' sunshine. Can you imagine such a oountry?" HEROIC CONSTABLE ALBERNI—G. C. Sayers, one of the most efficient officers in the police department of Satkatchewan, was taken to Victoria in a dying condition as the result of a firce fight in which he had engaged with a pair of highway robbers and box-car looters he had tracked from the prairie province to Vancouver Island. With three bullets in his body, Sayers refused to be conquered by the bandits and backing to the wall of the shack in which the fight took place, he held his men at bay till he fell in a dying heap from sheer loss of blood. The two men wanted were captured a few moments later by Sayers' comrades who were on guard outside the shack. LAM) PURCHASE MJXIC'ES Skeena Land District—District of Queen Charlotte Island.

The demand comes from people ol all classes, all ages, all occupations The majority of inquiries has come from people of known financial standing who were attracted by the novelty of the proposition. An impressive demonstration of the immense popularity of the Oliver Typewriter. A startling confirmation or our belief that the Era of Universal Typewriting is at hand.

So easy to run that beginners soon get in the "expert" class. Earn as you learn. Let the machine pay the 17 cents a day—and all above that Is yours.

CITY WAGE SCALE (Continued from Page One) applications heing made at the city hall for work and when assistance was wanted those in charge should give the preference to citizen workmen. Aid. Newton explained that it had been brought to his attention that citizens had been deprived of work. In the instances he referred to they discharged men were family men. This was not a proper proceeding. His resolution was intended to overcome ground for complaint. The latest arivals should be the first laid off. Aid. Clayton seconded; the motion. He felt that newcomers should not be given work over the heads of residents who were helping to build up the city. In reply to Aid. Pattullo, Aid. Newton said citizen workmen in the resolution did not refer to any particular race. It meant those who intended to make their homes here. Detailed information Aid. Hilditch suggested that a resolution prepared by Aid. Morrissey should be read, as it might take the place of this resolution. Aid. Morrissey read his motion which provided for the keeping in the city hall of a record of applications for work with details as to residence here and many other features. Aid. Pattullo wanted to see the both motions allowed to stand over. He did not mean to say that all that was done by last year's council was perfect. The council did the best that could be done under the conditions existing. For 6,000 years humanity had been evolving the present systems of social conditions. For 6,000 years more he supposed they would continue to do it. Aid. Hilditch wanted to see Aid. Morrissey's resolution carried. It was tlie first move in the direction he aimed at of having the work reduced to a system. Until the heads of departments knew the men available for work, how could they carry out the scheme? Aid. Newton did not think the resolution of Aid. Morrissey took the place of his. Aid. Pattullo suggested that the plan of Aid. Newton dseemed to cut out young men. While married men were of great benefit to the city, yet he did not favor cutting young men .■out. Aid. Newton did not want the impression to go abroad that he wished to discriminate in favor of married men against young men. He did not. Aid. Newton's motion carried. Aid.. Morrissey's motion also carried. The Civic Services Aid. Clayton moved to 'have the heads of all departments furnish lists of all employees stating whetner they were citizens or not. A second resolution was that a committee of three, of which the mayor should be one, should go into the matter of the olty hall staff to see if some saving could not be effected. In support of the resolution Aid. Clajton said he wanted information, be reduced, but he wanted to have it gone into. He found that one department, that of the engineer's staff, cost $21,000. He did not know that this was out of the way, but he would like to go Into it. It seemed a tre- jnendous cost for a city the size of Prince Rupert. Then the city hall staff cost $10,000. It seemed too great, for a city the size of this also. Aid. Pattullo said the council of last year, if it erreod was on the line of economy. He was glad to see this matter taken up, however. It must be remembered that the city was constructing an electric light and a telephone system, as well as the ordinary lines of the city business. He thought the finance committee could look into this. Aid. Newton said he did not hope to revolutionize tlie matter of the civic service. Tlie citizens were in the dark and information was wanted. Aid. Morrissery thought it was not asking too much to have a monthly report for the information of the public. Any business would do that. Question of Terms The question of c.itzens then came up again, Aid. Pattullo feeling that the heads of departments would interpret it as Britisli subjects. Aid. Hilditch said it meant every able-bodied man in the city. Alii. Newton contended that it was clear that If a man had not been here only for a week or two he should not be given a preference over men who had been here a long time. Aid. Pattullo thought the first thing that would suggest itself to the engineer upon receiving this would be that it meant British subjects. Aid. Clayton said he had not gone so far as that, but in this particular resolution where he was seeking the information he would be willing to go to the extent of making it mean British subjects. Aid. Pattullo said they had now an interpretation of what was a citizen. Difference of Opinion Aid. Newton did not care who the men were as long as they came here to live. He would not accept the interpretation suggested. Aid. Kirkpatrick thought that in a new city like this where there was not a great deal of work to give they might restrict the word citizen to the general acceptation that of a British subject. Aid. Morrissey feared that there might be an impression get abroad that Prince Rupert was not wanting men to come here. Aid. Clayton explained he asked only far a list for information and guidance. The resolution was changed to British subjects and a committee, consisting of the acting mayor, Aid. Kirkpatrick, Aid. Clayton and Aid. Newton', was appointed to go into this subject. -o ALONG ROUTE OF G. T. P. Interior Sections of Country Give Excellent Promise for Future Settlement Returning from a three weeks' trip to the Stewart lake, Fraser lake and Nechaco valley countries Messrs. F. N. Dewiar, manager of the Bank of Vancouver, J. T. Carter, manager of Hotel Fort George, and James Harris, are loud in praise of the agrficultural possibilities of the vast country to the north and west of Fort George. Leaving Fort George with a tem aand sleigh they went in by way of Blackwater Crossing, experience gno difficulties in travel though they were compelled to camp several nights on the trail owing to the uninhabited state of the country north adn west of Blackwater. Tlie weather conditions, however, ideal, and the trip was thoroughly enjoyed. As Mr. Dewar remarked, the middle of December is not the best time of year to visit the Fraser and Stew- are lake districts, but even then a trip is well worth while and one can obtain a fairly good Idea of the value of lands for agricultural purposes. At Stoney creek, on Nootka lake, there is much good level land, easily cleared and, from what the settlers already there state, very fertile. At the Fraser lake there Is much more clearing to do and the land is not so level but there is good land in -siiot.- On the Nechaco, al Milne's land- inn, about fifteen miles northeast of Stoney creek postofice, there is a stretch of country about ten miles north and south, and about sixteen miles east and west that is as level as a biliard table an done can see for miles, there being only small strips of small timber and scrub. Some of the settlers there have as much as 150 acres on which there was not even a stump w.hen they took it up. From about ten miles north of the river to within about eight miles of Stewart lake the country is covered with jackpine, small spruce and fir. It is rolling and is interspersed with small creeks and bottom lands, scattered through which are a number of hay meadows. From eight miles from Stewart lake .- the Hike, the country slopes gently down and is covered with small poplar and wiillow, and seems to be first-class land. Oats this year were very successfully grown nad harvested by one man at Stewart lake, and wheat is to be tried in the spring. The snow there at this time of the year is about three feet deep, and consequently there si no frost in the ground. It must be remembered that practically all the best and open land at Stoney creek, Fraser land and Stewart lake is already pre-empted or has been purchased by land and colonization companies. But there are still a number of pre-emptions that can be obtained. All the lands of these districts are being surveyed as rapidly as possible, and as soon as the several railways now building or about to be built through the country are in operation, one of the best and richest parts of the northern interior will be rapidly filled up. There are upwards of 200 settlers in this section. In and around Stoney creek and Lake Town, on Nootka lake, there are sixty odd. At Fraser lake and contiguous to it about the same number. At Milne's landing and on the Nechaco river, over seventy. And about twenoty at and near Stewart lake. West of Fraser lalce to Francois lake there are about sixty more. These figures comprise those who are actually residing on their land this winter, and dose not include those who were there during the summer and have gone out for the winter. Next summer they expect upwards o fl.OOO bona fide settlers to come in and start operations. ci Job Printing of all kinds neatly executed at The Journal office. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *"* * ** Remember That we Import Our Wines •:• direct from Europe; and that * no house in Prince Rupert can £ equal them for quality.
