Newton, at the council meeting last evening presented his report with reference to the investigation into the engineering department. It was signed by himself as chairman of the committee but no other signatures were affixed to the report. It was evident from the discussion last night that the committee is by no means unanimous on the matter. The report, as might have been from Aid. Newton's stand with reference to the city engineer, is a very strong one and calls for the dismissal of Colonel Davis. The presentation of the report called Aid. Hilditch to bis feet and he condemned the conclusions reached. A rather sharp exchange of views between tbe author of the report and Aid. Hilditch followed with Aid. Morrissey brought into the fray as defender of the policy of Aid. Newton. Occupying a position of safety, Aid. Douglas took a little dip into the fight without committing himself to either side but delivering a spent blow at Aid. Hilditch and contenting himself in announcing his policy as one of retrenchment. When the report again comes up for discussion a field day is expected. The report of Aid. Newton is naturally a very voluminous one and is devoted largely to an attack upon the city engineer's administration of his department. It calls for a reorganization of the department with the following offices, the proposed appointee, the present ■salary, the new salary and the total for the year in the order named. Engineer pro tern. Lucas; $150; $250; $3,000. Inspector and estimator. Oakley, $125; $150; $1,800. Assistant inspector and checker, Parker; new; $100; $1,200. Local overseer of water and sewer connections, Heward; $100; $125; $1,500. Overseer of grading and plank contracts. Miller; $100; $125; $1,500. Overseer of retaining walls and culverts, Newcombe; $100; $110; $1,320. Draughtsman, Simpson; $100; $110; $1,320. Accountant and stenographer, Bratt; $100; $100; $1,200. This is shown to represent $1,070 a month, or $12,840 a year. The saving effected, the report says, is $9,319.92 a year. Then, at length, the report sets forth the reasons for the changes and the decapitation of the engineer. It is set forth that the whole improvement policy was begun on a wrong basis; by the purchase by the city of steam shovels, a rock crusher and roller, thousands of dollars could have been saved; the high price paid under the McMordie contract is instanced as due to the department; no provision was made for retaining walls and when an estimate was asked for, the figures varied from $S,000 to $228,- 000; no provision was made for storm culverts. Aid. Morrissey moved, seconded by Aid. Newton that the report be adopted. Aid. Hllditch said that the report attached blame to tbe city engineer's department for things tbe department was not to blame for. The engineer's department was undermanned today. There had been mistakes made. It was hard to say how far the engineer was to blame for not giving sufficient assistance. The matter of retaining walls was the worst mistake made. The engineer had to depend upon his assistants In large part. The city engineer had planned all the work for Section 1, at a cost of 2 per cent. Vancouver was costing 5 per cent for its engineering, and Seattle, 5 per cent. The report of Engineer Thomson on the water supply was the best recommendation for the local head. Mr. Thomson's report in no point called for an alteration in the plans of Colonel Davis. Yet the city considered It got very cheap work done when it got off with paying $2,000 to Mr. Thomson to look over the plans of Colonel Davis. If this were so they were surely getting good value from the city engineer who went to all the work of preparing these plans. Aid. Morrissey regretted hat he had to take the stand he did. He pointed out that when the work of street improvement for Section 1 was prepared there was no allowance for retaining walls. Then the matter was referred to the engineer sveral times before the final style of wall was adopted. The ratepayers would be interested in retrenchment. By dispensing with one man's services there would be a saving of $9,000. There had been gross carelessness If not inefficiency. Aid. Smith said he had just read the report. It was too important a matter to vote on off-hand. He moved in amendment that It stand over until Wednesday evening. Aid. Kirkpatrick seconded the amendment. Aid. Newton said he had been advisd to get his eeport in at the risk of carrying this over his head. He was in no special hurry with this. | After taking the pains to prepare this as fully as he had done he was satisfied to have this stand over. He, however, objected to Aid. Hilditch treating this as a joke. Aid. Hilditch said that when men talked about things they did not understand he was bound to smile at it. He could meet Aid. Morrissey and Aid. Newton before any fair- minded audience and show that every point they raised with respect to the engineering department was ill-founded criticism. The department was being run cheaply. Aid. Newton stated that Aid. Hilditch had always attacked the engineer. He might be ignorant but there were others who were either ignorant or double-faced. Aid. Hilditch could take his choice. Aid. Hilditch defied Aid. Newton to poin tout wherein he had ever criticised the engineering department because it was too expensive. There was not a more inexpensive department in British Columbia. Aid. Douglas said Aid. Hllditch had shown his ignorance when he failed to read his (Aid. Douglas') writing. The motion to delay the consideration of the report carried. HOSPITAL GRANT Gity Council Votes the Snm of $5,000 to the Local Institution on Conditions. Indigent Patients Sent by the City Are to Be Treated Free of Charge in Return The city council has made a grant of $5,000 to the hospital, dependent upon the institution taking in city patients free of charge. The vote is thus made on similar conditions to that of the province. The vote came upon as a recommendation from the finance committee. Aid. Hilditch moved the adoption of the report, which was seconded by Aid. Douglas. Aid. Newton said this had never come properly before the finance committee. He was in sympathy with the hospital. He would like to see the $5,000 granted but he was somewhat dubious about granting that sum Ibis year. He thought that $1,000 might be taken off the vote this year. Aid. Hilditch pointed out that last year the application was not made to the council until late in the year. The hospital was a public institution and should be kept up by leulilie- funds. Nothing would he taken from the streets by this. There was! not a sidewalk built'out of current account. It was built under the lo-' cal improvement plan. If he thought it would carry be would move to gran $8,000 to the hospital. o Fred Congdon, M. P., for the Yukon, passed through the city yesterday on his way back to Dawson. MAY INCREASE RATE SERIES OF ACCIDENTS WANDERERS WIN Electric Lighting to Private Users Nay be Advanced to Cover Actual Cost. Aid. Newton Is Again in a Critical Mood with Respect to Installation The subject of an increase in the price of electric fluid to consumers was introduced last evening at the council meeting, when a resolution was passed urging the light committee to give early consideration to this with the object In view of making the revenues meet the expenditures. This came up on a report of the superintendent as to the month of May. It showed that there had been a revenue of $995.60, and the operating expenses were $8G6.58, showing a surplus of $139.02. This was without allowing for interest and sinking fund. His Worship said it appeared to him that the committee might well consider an increase in price for electricity. The city was only able to supply a part of the demand. It was not quite fair that those who were able to get light should not pay a rate that would about meet the cost of production. Aid. Hilditch moved that the light committee take steps as quickly as possible to go into this question to see if the rates could not be adjusted so as to make the plant self-supporting. The motion carried. On the matter of street,, lighting, Aid. Morrissey wanted to know if there could not be some arrangement made to have the street lighting off in the early part of the evening and thus allow more fluid to be used for private use. Aid. Smith pointed out that the committee had made a recommenda- ion along that line that had been turned down. It was to provide a separate current for the street lighting and Install arc lights. These would be part of the permanent sys- i Continued on Page Four) SCHOOL CELEBRATION Three Boys Drowned at Shawnigan Lake on Vancouver Island on Sunday.

Houston, of the Victoria Machinery Uepot, charged with being in possession of naval stores alleged to have been stolen from Esquimau Navy Yard, when, during the preliminary hearing in the police court yesterday, Mr. Bullock, the chief witness for the prosecution, was placed under arrest on a charge of extortion. Mr, Bullock had but stepped off the witness box when he was placed under arrest on information sworn out by Mr. Spratt charging "that on 18th April he did unlawfully threaten to accuse Charles J. V. Spratt of having committed an offence punishable by law with seven years' Imprisonment, to-wit: receiving a quantity of public stores, to- wit: a quantity of paint and rubber, tin- property of the Admiralty, knowing the same to have been obtained by theft contrary to the criminal code, with intent thereby then and there to extort and gain money from said Charles J. V. Spratt." In the subsequent, argument between W. J. Taylor, K. C, counsel for defendants and J. A. Aikman, counsel for prosecution, as to the legality of the arrest at that- stage of the proceedings, Mr. Taylor made it clear that the charge of perjury would also be laid against Mr. Bullock at the conclusion of the hearing. Mr. Bullock was given bail, Last evening the second contest at bridge whist was held between the representatives of the Prince Rupert Club and the Wonderers' Club.

At the meeting of the council last evening there was a letter read from Mr. Hays which sets at rest any idea that there is to be delay. The letter reads as follows: On S. S. "Prince Rupert," Prince Ruperl to Vancouver, June », 1911. His Worship Mayor Manson, Prince Rupert, B. C. Dear Sir: — While the recent agreement con- e-Iuded wiih the City is not binding until confirmed by the Legislature, it is not to be understood that the Railway Company Intends to postpone the commencement of work at Prince Rupert until that time. It is the intention of the Company to commence work immediately after the ratification of the agreement by the ratepayers. Preparations are now being made and materials assembled to that end, and we expect to make very considerable progress during the present year. Now that the situation at Prince Rupert has been adjusted, you may rely upon our Company putting forth every effort to get the work covered by the agreement under way as speedily as possible, with a view to securing its early completion. In undertaking our work, we confidently count upon the efficient co-operation of the City. Yours truly, CHAS. M. HAYS, President. o INSPECTION TRIP II. It.

Tulpey Is Satisfied That Hazelton Will He u Good Mining Centre R. J. Talpey lias returned to the city from Hazelton where he spent a few weeks looking into conditions with respect to mining. He is satisfied that the district is going to "make good" in a mining way. The heavy snow of last winter with its late departure this spring, has delayed the prospectors considerably. At present the mining men are getting out into the hills however and the early summer should bring good reports from the various mining centres. Without adequate transportation facilities of course the country is bound to open up much slower than will be the case when these are provided . The Silver Cup has experienced trouble in getting supplies in and in consequence operations are not proceeding there for the present. BABINE LAKE CLAIMS C. S.

He has covered tbe province of Britisii Columbia very thoroughly in the last ten years and knows well ihe various coal measures that exist. Before the construction of the Grand Trunk Pacific commenced on (his coast Mr. McEvoy paid a visit of inspection to this northern part of the province with the object of ascertaining the possibilities of the coal measures to be opened by the railway. The result of bis investigations was the taking up of a large area near Groundhog Mountain. These have been held ever since and now with the time approaching when the Grand Trunk Pacific will be within reach of the coal, Mr. Mc- Evoy's company is preparing to open up the coal, which is an assurance that the prospects are excellent. A force of men will be put to' work by Mr. McEvoy this summer to do development work, which seems to give an assurance of a supply of coal from the interior as soon as the line reaches Hazelton.

PRINCE RUPERT JOURNAL &lffllfflRllftltffltfdtft!lftl> tfflifflftjftiftiijdtffliffl& ua TOWNSITE The only Main Line Town- site in British Columbia in which the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway Company has announced its joint ownership. SEE THE OFFICIAL MAP.—The first glance will show you that ELLISON is located at the junction of the Skeena River and the Bulk- ley Valley. The Grand Trunk Pacific has announced that they are joint owners in the townsite of Ellison. Now, my dear reader, you must remember that up to date the Grand Trunk Pacific has not announced that it has any interest in any other main line towsite in British Columbia. Does that start you thinking? o i QTUDY THE MAP and you will ^ find Ellison is where the railway tracks leave navigation. That fact is a very important one for conservative investors to think over. What is known as the Hazelton district covers a territory many miles in extent in every direction radiating from the townsite of Ellison. Mining machinery, ore shipments, smelters, reduction plants and all sorts of mining operations starting up in this rich mineral region, must necessarily have a metropolis, a HUB, a headquarters. If any sane, conservative man can figure out any other spot except Ellison for the bub af the great commerce of this district, his plan should be very inter esting to the Grand Trunk Pacific officials. It. does seem as though these officials, after several years of investigation and engineering, would know just what they were do- k'.g when they put their official stamp on Ellison. STUDY THAT MAP.—I desire to say to all parties who are talking townsites in the vicinity c-i Skeena River and the Bulkley Valley lhat there will no doubt be several small towns, just the same as one always finds in a mining district. There will be towns in the vicinity of Ellison along branch railways, piobably lowns at the ends of branch lines made to serve the mines and the collieries, but it will be history repeating itself in regard to the building up of every metropolis. Ellison has every natural advantage, has every earmark of being the future mercantile and financial center of the Skeena River mining district and the entrance to the Bulk- ley Valley. OTUDY THAT MAP and you will ^ find that all of the mining towns and railroad towns around there just beginning to be talked about will only be feeders to the city and port of ELLISON. The Grand Trunk Pacific has put its official stamp on Ellison. Do you believe the company will Jo as much for town sites owned by individuals as it will for one in which its stockholders are joint owners? If you do, don't buy any lots in Ellison. If you. desire to make a permanent investment, or merely to make a little quick money, you must decide for yourself right now. Do you propose to fullow tho individual townsite promoters or the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway Company. o STUDY THAT MAP.—If you desire to put your money into a real estate promoter's townsite you will have many, many opportunities this Bummer, The average promoter is full of hurrah and red fire. He must enthuse investors of the mail order clus.i with his wares. ELLISON is in the Missouri class. Therefore, I am not telling any fairy tales about it. I am making statements that can be readily verified. STUDY THAT MAP.—If you want to join that groat army of investors-at-long-raii;?", then you should put your money Into promoters' townsites. If you want a perfectly safe and sound investment, certain to bring you large profits, then put your money where the Grand Trunk Pacific, after years of careful investigation, have put their money. o STUDY THAT MAP.—It is not likely the Grand Trunk Pacific will have any other townsite in British Columbia for sale this year. The uL'fcials of the company state that the company is not inteiested in any townsite in the Hazelton district v.\ith the exception of ELLISON. ELLISON is on the bank of the Skeeua at its confluence with the Bulkley. You may change railway surveys; you may change the location oi towns along the line of road, but you cannot change the geography of the country through which the railway passes. The head of navigation necessarily means an important townsite. Ellison will not only be at the head of navigation but the center of a mining district wonderful in its resources that is now being opened up, and for which Ellison will be the shipping point both hy rail nnd water. The fact that trains may change engines up or down the line or in the suburbs of the town of Ellison does not amount to shucks in building up a town when such places are compared with a town located where icils and navigation meet. o STUDY THAT MAP.—You will find on the official plan of Ellison that a large part of the town- site has been reserved for future sales, the same as the company has done with certain sections of Prince Rupert townsite. There are, therefore, at this time, comparatively few lots on the market. You must hurry if you want one. o STUDY THAT MAP.—ROGERS' ADDITION to Ellison, only a small parcel of land, lies within eight blocks of the site of the railway station. Lots in this are being offered. I am advising my clients to buy Rogers Addition lots at $150 for inside lots and »-eJ0 for corners. Terms—10 per cent discount for cash, or 10 per cent down and the balance on easy terms; no interest. M \t& LOTS IN ELLISON TOWNSITE AND ROGERS ADDITION FOR SALE PRINCE RUPERT British Columbia JEREMIAH H KUGLER 0ffices-2nd Avenue Facing Grand Trunk Terminal WWWWWWWWI^ HAS GOOD RECORD Col. Fred White Comptroller of Royal Northwest Mounted Police Has Filled Important Duties. He Has Occupied Position Since Organization of the Force in 1873 Colonel Fred White, C. M. G., Comptroller of the R. N. W. M. Police, whom a despatch from Ottawa states that on Sir Wilfrid Laurier's return from Europe will retire from his position, has been comptroller of this force since the time of its inception and was previously private secretary to Sir John A. MacDonald, whose good judgment of the right man for the right place was certainly not at fault on the occasion that the then Mr. Fred White struck him as being suited for this very position. In 1873 the authorities were com pelled to carry out some scheme for the maintenance of law and order in this great west country and following the advice of military men who had been chosen to report on the matter, he Mounted Police were created and sent to the country where they have done so much to make a peaceful and happy country of it. Seated at his desk in Ottawa, Colonel Whie has been the official head of the force since that time and has been responsible in a large measure for the efficiency of the force under his control. At Reglna, the commissioner has of course been in command and the discipline of the force was always left to his judgment, but It does not detract from the credit of the several commissioners at Re- gina in the least to say that had it not been for the ability of the Comptroller in Ottawa the force would not have earned the name they have for the manner In which their duties have been carried otjt. That the Controller's services to his country have not been overlooked is evidenced by the fact that In the year 1883 he was given all the power of a deputy minister, in 1901 he was granted the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel of the Active Militia, and two years later he received the much coveted Championship of St. Michael and St. George for the services he has rendered to the Empire. Amongst the rank and file he was always popular on account of his genial manner and readiness to consider the various cases that mikht be brought to his notice of some little difficulty between officers and men. Should any member of the force be on leave in the capital, Colonel White always welcomed him at his office and by the visits he thus received he was able, by deducing from conversation, to devise many little things that make the lot of the mounted policeman easier. Colonel White seldom visited the country over which he exercised so great an influence, for his duties were such that they did not admit of many or long jaunts from his office desk. o TO PORTLAND CITY FOR SALE SECTION ONE BLOCK LOTS BLOCK 19 .. 11 1-2-3-4-6-6 11 .. .9-10 1? 22 lei . .21-22 IS 1-2 9 18 SECTION FIVE . .22-23 1.0TS 3-4 19 16-16 20 19-20 34 36-37-38 34 42 27 9-1" 27 42-43 SECTION SIX 3 7-8-9-10 TiT O D LV 7irO/"~l AT The Atlantic Realty und Improvement W.

QUESTION OF INTEREST MAY INCREASE RATE Tuesday, l nm- 20, 1911, A\ EXAMPLE (Continued from Page One) Anyone who visits the fruit lands of the Skeena Valley cannot fail to be -truck with tlie future that awaits it. Tlie following from the, Cranbrook Herald shows what lias been done in another part of the province In a few years. What is true of the Kootenay country in this regard will, undoubtedly be true of the Skeena Valleys with the difference that the local field will open up much more quickly. "Ten years ago the Canadian Pacific Railway steamers running on the Arrow lakes between Robson and Arrowhead called, now and again at Deerpark, halted at unnamed points still more occasionally to drop off a party of prospectors, drove on to Nakusp and Halcyon and for the rest moved in a loneliness that was profound." says the Herald "It was more than thnt. it was actually forbidding. The sanctity of the sleeping lake and tho quiet mountains imaged in its depths repelled all intrusion. At long intervals some water fowl rose from the surface and flew miles away to some quieter reaches where the noise of the boat did not penetrate. Save thnt there was hardly a sign of life along the water or by the shores. "Those Immemorial conditions have all been altered. What appeared a few years ago to be a mere jungle of poplar, black birch and brush lying between the rocky hills and the shores of the lake has been opened up in many places with garden patches and orchards, each with Its little home close by the stream that conies tumbling down from the hills at the back. As the brush goes down before the plough and the mattock, the lines of fruit trees begin to show and between the rows the strawberries and garden stuff begin to arrest themselves in a healthier green and a sense of being cultivated and looked after. I SENTENCES PASSED Mr. Justice Murpliy Gives Judgment in Rioting Cases from Here At the close of the assize in Victoria last Friday, Mr. Justice Murphy passed sentence upon the prisoners convicted during the assize. The Prince Rupert rioters were given sentences as follows: J. Vujovich, shooting with intent, three years In the penitentiary. Mike Burich, Dan Mulovlch, Mike Secovich, Antone Sevich and Mike Savich, unlawful assembly and rioting, two years in the penitentiary. Noah Palovich Vuck Sandralovich and Steve Brudo, unlawful assembly and rioting, with recommendation to mercy, one year hard labor. Jura Radulovlch, unlawful assembly and rioting, strong recommendation to mercy, six months' hard labor. Thomas Allen, who shot Captain Elliston at Work Point Barracks, convicted of manslaughter was sen- tenced to Imprisonment for his natural life. Mr. Justice. Murphy told Allen thai the jury had taken a very merciful view of his crime, and one with which his lordship did mil agree. lie believed Allen to hi' guiiiy of wilful murder. RON OHIO NEW WESTMINSTER Word has been received then .Mr. I-:. J. Fader, of ihis city, who Is in London, England, on business connected with large enterprises in this province, has consummated a deal khere- by he has agreed lo furnish nn English company with 1,000,000 tons of magnetic iron ore for the large steel works that the English concern is to erect in the vicinity of Coquitlani. According to the present plans, the English concern, which has taken tbe name of the Canada Pacific Steel Company, will start work on the blast furnaces on the site of the proposed plant near Coquitlam some time in the early autumn, and as soon as these furnaces are ready for the ore, Mr. Fader expects to be ready to furnish it to them as fast as they want it. Mr. Fader and his associates own un iron mine near iciii when installed and thus there would he no waste. More light would then he available for private use. The cost was put at less than $3,000< and would pay, the committee was informed. Aid. Newton wanted to know why this was not done when the plant <vas first installed. It would ap- pear that money had been wasted last year when the plant was installed. Who was responsible, he asked. Aid. Smith explained that last year there was great haste shown for a plant. The engineer had to get the plant wherever it was the quickest secured. Aid. Smith said he did not blame the clt yengineer as much as some did in connection with that work. lie was ordered to get the light in as quickly as possible and had to buy a plant wherever he could get it. Aid. Newton said the people's money had been wasted and $50,000 had gone into the junk heap. Some one last year must have bungled woefully, and they were reaping the whirlwind. He thought they should have expert advice now. Aid. Smith said not fifty per cent of this had been wasted. Not more than 30 per cent, probably had been so spent. On the recommendation of the light committee, H. Melloch's tender for the old wire was accepted, it being the highest. o COURT IS SITTING Chief Justice Hunter is of Civil Actions Here.

The case is one in which the plaintiff, Mrs. Hall, who is represented by Alex Manson, claimed $2,000 from her brother, being money she advanced to him to purchase horses to go into business with at Stewart. The defendant, represented hy L. W. Patmore, put up the plea that the money was really not his sister's, but was held by her in trust in conjunction with real estate speculations that had been carried on jointly for years. The first $1,000 he claimed as his own share of that, and the second $1,000 as belonging to bis mother. His Lordship decided In favor of the plaintiff. Martin vs. Morrow et al., was heard this morning. The plaintiff, represented by W. B. Williams, was an Indian merchant near Hazelton, who preferred a claim against the owners of the Inlander for not living up to an alleged agreement to ililivor goods without delay. Tin' defendant G. W. Morrow ami partners, represented by C. V. Bennett, contended that the letter sent Martin was a circular one, expressing no particular obligation. In connection with the case the practice of river captains to say what freight should go, came up. The chief jus-fire said the sooner this tangle wis straightened out the better. The captain and boats are only common carriers and must accept freight tendered. The only excuse could be that there was no more room on the boat. The de- fondants contended that the freight was specifically tendered. It was finally deckled to adjourn the case so as to take Captain Bu- i-ey's evidence In the matter, his lordship advising the two sides to get together and settle the case. This afternoon the case of Slater Shoe Co.. vs. Larkin ol al., is being hoard. In this case the plaintiffs put up a preferred claim for goods A negro sharper started a bank in Georgia, in one of the smaller tov us and the negroes who lived thereabouts were much taken with lie idea and scrimped to get a few d il- lars to start an account. One man made a deposit of five dollars. Six months later he came inio the bank and said: "1 wants my five dollahs." "Y'ou ain't got no five dollahs heah. sub," said the banker, who acted as paying and receiving teller, cashier, president and carried ihe money in his pocket. "1 ain't?" "Xo, sub." "But I done put five dollahs in this yer bank six months ago." "I know that, suh I know that; but th' Intrust jist natur'ly done eat il up." o ATTRACTIVE TRIP Trip Over the G.T.P. From Here to Interior is a Surprise Producer. Rich Areas of Land Are Heing Opened up by the Line of Railway On Friday of last week, through the kindness of General Superintendent Mehan and Superintendent McNicholl, of the Grand Trunk Pacific, the editors of the local papers were given an opportunity to go over the line of railway now open to public use from Prince Rupert to Copper River. A trip where most of the time was spent for the 200 miles on the rear platform of Mr. Mehan's private ear, afforded an ex- cellenl opportunity to study the character of the road, its grades and curves, the scenery and the character of the country generally through which the railway passes. Many preconceived ideas with respect to the route are sure to be upset by such a trip. It is safe to say that no one can make that trip, however, and not feel more fully convinced than ever before that Prince Rupert is destined to be advantageously situated with respect, to being the terminus of a railway unexcelled on the continent and also with respect to local trade opportunities. While the section of the route represented by the first 100 miles of railway out of Prince Rupert is probably one of the most expensive sections that the Grand Trunk Pacific has to build, a trip over it reveals the fact that it has been constructed quite up to the highest standard. There have been exceedingly heavy cuts to make, but the road bed if viewed independent of the cleft rocks might lead the traveller to believe he was speeding over a prairie road. The curves are easy and grades have been eliminated. Tlie route is in strange contrast with most of other mountain roads wliere terrifying depths are looked down to on one side and giddy heights looked up to on the other side. In the case of the Grand Trunk Pacific the former is missing. The magnificent scenery of the mountains is everywhere present but it is viewed from sea leve' for the most part. The road follows the Skeena River throughout the whole course and only a few feet, above its waters. Scarcely ever during the whole of the 100 miles is the river not in view and within a stone's throw of the track. Pushing Work A trip over ihe line gives evidence that tho construction department under Mr. Mehan's experienced eye is not losing any time in getting the road put in tlie best of order. Every siding passed had Its construction train engaged in placing the gravel and pushing forward the time when the road will be capable of taking care of any demands put upon it. At the Kltsumkalum River a gravel pit of the first ordej is located directly on the right of way of the road. A steam shovel with a clipper capable of lifting two yards and a half of gravel at a time has been placed in the pit. The face of the pit is deep and an abundance of it exists in the great mound that Is there located. The gravel is of first-class quality, free from all dirt and easily worked. The big dipper never misses taking its full complement and no shovelling by hand is required. With about eight standard engines available for the work, in addition to the one used In the regular service, the amount of ballast being taken out is groat. It is being deposited on the track at the rate of about two miles and a half a day. Following the ballast laying are two forces of eighty men each, engaged in the work of lifting the track and putting the ballast in place. With these gangs at work two miles a day are being turned over practically completed and callable of taking care of trains run at full speed. The road has not been built to be brought gradually to standard with respect to grades and curves. It is built according to the highest standard and the curves are brought to the easiest with construction. These grades will not be altered. The result is that even as a "skeleton" road, without ballast, the bed is superior to many lines after completion. In consequence the general superintendent Is able to haul twenty per cent heavier loads with the (Continued on Page Eight) de.;. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * iReme-nber! * * !

She will be cleaned after her 15,000 miles voyage. She will probably be placed on the Victoria, Vancouver, Prime Rupert and way ports run in a few days, and will thereafter maintain a weekly service with the Cetriana to those ports. The steamer cleared from Grangemouth, Scotland, January 21, in command of Captain James Carse. She reached St Vincent on February 17, wliere she remained for a month pending the arrival of repairs for her engines which had broken down. She left St Voncint twenty- seven days after her arrival there, and made good time to this coast, stopping only at coaling ports on the way round. The Britisii Empire is a smaller vessel than the Cetriana, and seems to have been built to carry a larger proportion of freight to her passenger capacity that the larger vessels. She is of 562 registered tonnage and 252 net tonnage She is of steel construction, was built at Garston in 1902 by the Garston Dock & Ship- buIldlng'Company, Limited, is registered 100 A-l at Lloyds, and was formerly owned by T. J. Sharpe & Co., of Liverpool. Her dimensions are: Length, 167 feet; beam, 26 feet; draft, 11 feet 5 Inches. Her engines were constructed by Ross eS: Duncan, Glasgow. Altogether she is a very acceptable addition to the Pacific coast trade. She was bought by the Northern Steamship Company to take tlie place of the steamer Petriana, recently sold to the anadian-Northern Steamship Company. NOTICE TO MARINERS A spar buoy, painted red, has been established to mark Little Zero rock, Haro strait, latitude N. 48 degrees, 31 minutes, 35 seconds; longitude W. 123 degrees, 19 minutes and 5 0 seconds. From the buoy, Cowichan bead bears N. 04 degrees W., and Kelp reefs beacon bears N. 50 degrees E. distant 3 miles and 6 cables. The buoy is moored in 5 fathoms of water. Mariners are cautioned that close eastward of the buoy is a large patch of foul ground with depths on i tranging from 2 feet to 7 and 12 feet. Little Zero rock dries 6 feet. Jorkins Point A gas-lighted beacon has been established by tbe Government of Canada on the east tangent of Jorkins Point, Finlayson Channel, latitude N. 52 degrees, 26 minutes, 36 seconds; longitude, W. 128 degrees, 30 minutes and 30 seconds. The following angles fix the position of the beacon: Parker Point, 0 degrees; South tangent of large islet, Open Bay, 67 degrees, 30 minutes; Day Point, 83 degrees, 0 minutes.

He was a passenger by the Princess May on the way to Wrangel on private business. The Sailor King who will be officially Crowned as George V on Thursday BATTER'S DUTY Bill Dahlen, manager of the Brooklyn Nationals, favors the theory that the batter should pass up the first ball offered by the pitcher, whether a man is on first base or not. "It's much more advantageous to a player to take the first ball," says the Superbas' leader, "for by so doing he has a better opportunity of reaching first base. As a rule, a pitcher will put all he has on his first ball, and the chances are about ten to one against the batter hitting it safely. "Let him take the first strike. The fact that he has one called on him should not Impair his hitting ability in the least. A good batter should be able to bit as well with one strike against him as with a clean slate. "By bitting "t the first ball the batter loses two other opportunities to reach first base—via a base on balls or by being hit with a pitched ball. Should he connect with the first one and the drive fails to go safe he will also sacrifice these other chances to get on. "It always pays to work the pitcher to the limit. It Is only logical that a heaver, no matter how strong or robust, will not be as strong at the end of four or five innings, during which the batters have played him to the limit, as he will be at the end of the same period if he has pitched but one or two balls to each batter. Waiting out a pitcher in this fashion has caused the winning of many battles in the last Innings. "Of course it must be remembered that this system cannot be faithfully and rigorously adhered to day in and day out. If the pitcher knows the batter will pass up the first ball he is sure to whip a beauty over the late, an advantage which will add greatly to his confidence. "However, when advisable a batter should be able to mix up his antics and attempt to cross the pitcher. Should he have been passing up the first ball and be knows that the pitcher is aware of this fact it would be well for him to reverse his policy and swing at the first one, which under such circumstances is usually a very hitable offering. By thus mixing the hitting the batter always keeps the burler from knowing as to what to expect from him after the first ball." PROVINCIAL GOLFER Miss Violet Pooley, of Victoria, was the subject of special mention In the report on the ladles' golf championships played on the Pot- rush links on Friday. Telegraphic dispatches say: "The finals resulted In a victory for Miss Dorothy Campbell, of Hamilton, Ontario, the present holder of tlie I'nited States and Canadian ladies' championships, and the British champion of 1909. She defeated Miss Violet Hezlet (Royal Potrush) by 3 holes up and 2 to play." "One of the outstanding matches was that in the fourth round, when Miss B. Thompson IBeverley) beat Miss V. Pooley (Britisii Columbia) by 1 up. Miss Pooley played brilliantly in the outward journey, completely outdistancing her formida- opponent as well as holing some timely putts. She turned five up in 42. She became six up at the tenth, but overplaying a wooden club second at tbe next hole, she found the rough and lost the hole. A bad putt missed her a chance of a half at the next, and then she completely lost her game. Miss Thompson seized her opportunity, and, gaining seven consecutive holes took the lead at the seventeenth, an easy half at the home hole giving her a sensational victory by one up." VTBSS&e S.S.

Fraser River Is Making Ready for a Very Small Take of Sockeyc This Season The prospects for the canning sea son in the- Skeena District arc very good anil packers expect an average year. Unlike the Fraser River, the Skeena's seasons arc- fairly uniform This year the Fraser expel,-- a viiy light catch. Canneries on the Fraser River are only making preparations tor a light pack, while ten new canneries in Alaska, bringing the number up to 58, Indicate that the companies In operation there imagine that there will be a big pack. The second gang of cannery workers has been sent up the coast. The season in the north commenced early this month, while that in the Fraser will! not be in full swing until the middle of July. The total catch In British oluin- bia last year was 762,201 cases, that of 1909, 967,020 cases, of 190S, 547,459 cases, and of 1906, 029,- 460 cases This schedule and that of years further back would indicate that this year's catch will not be as large as last year's and packers are estimating it as not much above that of 1907. Tbe Britisii Columbia Packers' Association, which controls salmon packing on this coast to a large degree, are only operating five of their fifteen Fraser River canneries. Other packers in the same district will he the A. B.C. Packing Company, Limiteo, J.H.Todd & Sons, Canadian Canning Company, B.C. Canning Company, Windsor Packing Company (which has bought the plant of Malcolm, Cannon & Company), St. Mungo Canning Company, Great West Canning Company and M. DesBrisay & Company. Three firms have dropped out, those of the Northern Canning Company, the Unique Canning Company and Lee Coy Company. Total catch last year, 223,148 cases. The B. C. Packers' Association will operate four canneries on the Skeena River. Other canneries are A.B.C. (2), J.H.Todd, B.C. Canning, Kildala Packing, Wallace Bros., Skeena River Company and Cassiar Packing. Total catch last year 223,035 cases. Rivers Inlet will have seven canneries, B.C.Packers (2), A. .B. C. Packing, J. H.Todd, B.C.Canning, Kildala Packing, Strathcona Packing. Total pack last year 129,398 cases. In the Naas River district, the A. B. C. Company will operate the establishments of John Wallace and Pt. Nelson C. and S. Co., Ltd.. The Kincolith Packing Co. and the Federation B. S. Canning Co. will also operate in the district. Total pack last year, 39,720 cases. In the outlying districts establishments will be run by B. C. Packers Association (3), Kildala Packing Company, Robert Draney (2), Wm. Hickey Packing Company, Clayo- quot Salmon Packing Company, Quathlska Packing Company, J. H. Todd & Co., Alberni Pacing Company and the A. II. C, Packing Company, which has purchased the establishment of the Knight Inlet Canning Company. Total pack last year, 147,900 cases. In Alaska all restrictions have been removed and the companies are reported to be preparing for the largest pack ever handled there. The following are the ton new canneries with their locations; Pacific American Fisheries, Thin Point, Alaskan Peninsula. Fish Hawk Company, Hawk Inlet, Southeastern Alaska. Tee Harbor Packing Company, Tee Harbor, near Juneau, Deep Sea Salmon Company, Cape Edwards, north of Sitka. Llndenberger Packing Company, Helini Canal, Southeastern Alaska. Seldovla Packing Company, Sel- do\ la, Cook" Inlet. Alaska Fishermen's Packing Company, Koggiung, Bristol Bay. C. A. Burkhard't & Co., Chomley, Southeastern Alaska. Alaska Packers' Association, Nak- nek, Western Alaska. Tongas Trading Company, floating cannery. Owing to the scarcity of canned salmon of all kinds the world over and the fact that the tntlre pack of 1911 has already been oversold, subject to the approval of opening prices, packers believe that opening prie'es will he higher than a year | ago. A spei laity will be made in pink salmon, which in addition to the Alaska pack in this variety is es-, tlraated at 400, :ases. -THE— Oliver Typewriter —FOR— Seventeen Cents a Day Please read the headline over ngain.

PRINCE RUPERT JOURNAL COAL MINES ACT The Queen Doioag'.r as Sin Appeared in Her Coronation Robes LATEST RAIL PR1JECT Proposed Line From Hudson Pacific Coast Through North Lands. Bay to Prospectus for the Now Line Issued Giving the Route of Proposed Roml The promoters of the Hudson's Bay, Peace River and Pacific. Railway, claimed to be the shortest transcontinental railway which it is proposed shall cross the continent from Fort Churchill on tbe Hudson's Bay to Port Simpson, on the Pacific, have issued a short prospectus. According to the prospectus the headquarters of the company are at 408 McArthur building, Winnipeg. From the city of Winnipeg a line is to be run easterly and northeasterly to Port Nelson on the Hudson's Bay, thence in a northwesterly direi'- tion to Fort Churchill. From here the road will run westward between the fifty-eight and sixtieth parallels of latitude to a point near Fort Vermilion on the Peace River, tbence to Fort St. John and from there to a point where the Naas River crosses the fifty-sixth parallel. It will then go down either the east or the west side of the Naas River to where the' stream enters the Pacific. Branches are provided for from Fort St. John to Edmonton through the Peace River ind Grande Prairie countries, a distance of 350 miles, and from a point on the main line near tbe Cochrane River to Prince Albert, a distance of 400 miles. The distance from Hudson's Bay to the Pacific Coast is estimated at 1,500 miles and from Winnipeg to th Hudson's Bay is 525 miles. The prospectus contains several extracts from government reports regarding the fertility of the soil in the country through which the road will pass and the advisability of tho Hudson's Bay. In addition to these it contains a copy of the act of incorporation passed In the Dominion house during the recent session. The men mentioned as forming the company are all residents of Winnipeg with tbe exception of John Nairn, a distiller, of the city of Edinburgh, Scotland. The company is capitalized at $10,000,000. it is authorized to issue debentuies to the extent of $50,000 per mile of single track Tu- and $70,000 per mile Of double track. o TOOTH QUESTION Dental Authority Holds Opinion That Mankind's Teeth Differ Altogether from Monkeys' Mankind <an no longer congratulate or commiserate itself on evolution from the monkey. Dental research has shown that the monkey is of recent, if not of more recent, origin than mankind. This was explained to the members of the Ontario Dental Association Thursday by Dr. Hordllcha, who is the anthropologist of the Smithsonian Institute of the United States National Museum at Washington The evolution of the human tooth is ascribed by Dr. Hordllcha to a change in diet away back in the remote age*. The primitive being having multiplied beyond the sustaining power of his environment, branches of the family had to seek "fresh woods and pastures new," where conditions were different and food dissimilar Then it was thai ill" jaw began to change its form The human tooth being nothing hut a natural tool, developed In the first place to fulfill the organic function nf mastication, and when tlie nature of mankind's sustenance changed, and hard substances had no longer to be ground, in fact, when man first began to eat grain, the canine tooth grew smaller and the molars followed suit. Primitive man had no chin. This was not a sign of low intelligence, but rather that his teeth were large und his dental arch broad. When the teeth grew smaller the dental arch receded, and as a result a chin formed This may be seen at the present day in aged people; the dental arch recedes in old age, and the chin ir, consequence protrudes to a greater extent. As the human race proceeds, Dr. Hordllcha predicts that the teeth will become smaller and more irregular; in fact at the present day in the cultured classes tooth space is perceptibly smaller and the teeth more irregular. As time rolls on a man may exist almost, if not quite, toothless. Then the shape of his skull will change, enlarging later- tlly. One sign of civilization is the elimination or partial elimination of the wisdom teeth. In skeletons found In ancient Egypt and in Yucatan the wisdom tooth is missing, therefore, it may be put forward that these peoples attained a civilization as great as that of the present day, and also that they were a grain-eating people. In skeletons discovered in Yucatan teeth have been found which have been inlaid with cut-stone, and even gold, thus allaying the ravages of decay, showing 'that dentistry existed far back in the ages.

Character of Country The line running out of Prince Rupert passes through diversified country. Immediately adjoining the city for nearly forty miles the country is not such as to appeal to the farmer. In that space there will undoubtedly be some farm land ■which owing to its proximity to a centre like Prince Rupert, will give good results. It is heavily timbered in many parts and as a source of fuel will give good returns for clearing. - With the cutting off of the timber, grazing land will be developed and areas that will produce vegetables will likely be opened up. Within the district at the present time the portion nearest to Prince Rupert is given over largely to the salmon canneries. This industry will continue to be a staple one along the lower reaches of the Skeena. The building of the railway past the cannery centres seems to have been followed already by the putting up of a rather more substantial class of buildings for the workers. The railway gives easy means of communication and will have a stimulating effect upon the industry. Sawmills will be assured also along the line of rail and already one or two good mills are located on the road. With an increasing demand for lumber this will continue to expand and mills will increase . The Snow Sheds When about fort? miles out the mountains seem to close in as if an effort were made to prevent a further invasion nf the interior by the modern method of transportation. Mountain tops, devoid of vegetation, give proof that snow slides are to be expected constantly during the winter months. To their sorrow the officials of the road know that these slides have to he reckoned with'. Lasl winter was an exceptional one in point of snowfall. In consequence the very best guide was afforded for the locating of the sheds to protect the track. Today the road runs through snowcuts where a depth of well on to twenty feet is shown. Gangs of men are at work putting in ihe sheds thai will protect the line and remove all danger of any stopping of the service next «Inter. The company has millions or feet of timber purchased and on the way the work has been accomplished, the the work has been accompllsed, the Structures heing specially strong. Fortunately in nearly every ease, the opportunities fur getting rid of the snow as it comes down the mountain side are easy. Altogether about hall' a mile of shedding will have tu be constructed. The long- est single shed will be about 1,200 feet at mile 44. Here about 3,000 feet of cribbing will have to be done anil about ".,000 feet of timber will he used in addition. Farming Sections Alter a few miles of this snow- gathering area and the road passes into a different character of country. The soil is no longer of a muskegg character, It is, on the contrary, a true soil capable of giving excellent returns in a farming way. Prom time to time the mountains recede from the river, leaving finite large areas that may he open to cultivation. In .several instances Paring is being attempted and the future will show scattered settlements, where the owners by truck gardening or by dairying will be able to reap good results. When Batcman's Landing is reached the farm areas have become unite extensive and clearings are to be seen on both sides of the river with well-cultivated patches where potatoes and other vegetables have been planted. On the opposite side of the Skeena from the rails the extensive Lakelse Valley can be seen awaiting clearing operations. A wide valley extending as a level area far into the interior, the land is said to be second to none in the province. A short run shows the equally famed Copper River Valley on the opposite bank of the Skeena. In the case of the Copper River Valley, however, the fact that the mountains rise up quicker and that the valley is not so fully exposed from the rai'way side, leaves the traveller more in doubt as to the extent. It has been proved to be a rich area, however and with the work that W. J. Sanders is doing there in the way of clearing, it should come into prominece as a fruit centre at once. Kitsumkalum On the railway side of the river however, the land is inviting. A warm soil is exposed to view and the land only awaits clearing operations in order to develop into a producing area to meet the demands of Prince Rupert and the mining and industrial centres that will spring up in this western country. The soil is light, and, judging from appearances, there is an abundance of sunshine to ripen fruits. The clearing operations in many parts will be heavy but there is an immense revenue possible from the large timber that is found on the land. In other parts the land is somewhat lighter timbered and clearing will be much less expensive. A superficial examination of the soil, however, as the train passes along would indicate that there is not the same depth of soil on these parts and that in consequence greater care will he required to maintain the fertility and the plowing in of clover and similar crops so as to keep the humus in the soil. As one passes on the train, the eye falls upon small orchards already planted and now in full bloom. Vegetables and small fruits are also to be seen and on the farm of Mr. Little there was a strong growth of grain on the cleared iands. Subdivided, as this land must, be as the years go by, there Is room for thousands of people to live and reap rich returns from the soil. The long warm days should give very heavy crops in all lines. Scenery Is Grand Pur scenery the route along the Grand Trunk Pacific is all that could he asked for. Skirting the river all ihe way, there is the grandeur of the snow-capped mountains ever open to the eye. In the foreground there is Ihe restful view of timber lands. The Skeena abounds n low lying islands all covered down to the water's edge with the varying colors produced by the different varieties of trees. The rich green of the cotton wood is ever present which mingles with the evergreen trees so as to produce a pleasing effect. Travellers who I na few months' time enter Prince Rupert by the all- rail route, will certainly be given a splendid impression of the new north as they pass along the Grand Trunk Pacific. Where now heavy limber is always present there will then he large areas devoted to the growing of field grains, vegetables lieu Stay Satisfactory "Ring* Good, Sound Reasons for MONARCH Economy Monarch Ranges are built so that they can never have "air leaks"— For around every opening into the body there is a Malleable Iron frame to which the steel is riveted. No putty is needed in such joints. They are air tight when new and stay air tight. If these other ranges were built in this way they might be economical too. Investigate this matter of rivet construction versus stove bolts* and stove putty. It's important to every one using or buying a range. SOLI) AM) GUARANTEED BY THK Kaien Hardware Co.
