Ho Has in View Works in British Columbia And Might be Induced to Lorn to Here James A. Moore, of Seattle, president of the Western Steel Corporation, is having his recently acquired coal measures on Queen Charlotte Islands thoroughly looked Into with the object in view of utilizing it In the making of coke for steel works which hi. plans to locate somewhere in the province. Mr. Moore has been working on the steel proposition for many years. He acquired iron properties on the west coast of Vancouver Island and on Texada Island, and more recently coal measures on the Queen Charlotte Islands. At first all his energies were devoted to the building up of the steel works which he has In view at Seattle with the iron smelter at Iron- dale near Port Townsend as a feeder for It. The smelter Is at the present time turning out about eighty tons a day, but the capacity, according to Mr. Moore is to be increased at once to about 300 tons a day. The acquisition of added capital a few years ago and the development of the demand for steel and iron in this country led him some months ago to turn his attention to the question of erecting works on this side of the line as auxilliary to those In the State of Washington. With the rapid development In Northern British olumbla and with the facilities that exist here for the shipping of the finished product, the port of Prince Rupert should appeal to the head of the Western Steel Corporation. With the coal and coke supply which he expects to get so close to this city and the presence of large deposits of iron ore within easy reach, there is no reason why this port should not be considered among the centres where iron works could with advantage be located. Not many years ago experts rep: resenting capital went into the subject of the available Iron supply within easy reach of Prince Rupert with the object in view of introducing capital to erect works here. The situation was then regarded as a result of the investigations as exceedingly bright for such an enterprise. The project has never been wholly dropped, and as Mr. Moore has not definitely settled upon the location of the Iron works In this province, there might be something done to bring about a union of the Interests. Mr. Moore was a Canadian before he became a citizen of the United States, and is a man of wonderful energy. o WANT PUBLIC LINE RECEPTION PLANS Arrangements for the Coming of Canada's Prime Minister to This City. Sir Wilfrid Lnurier Will Be Given a Most Hearty Welcome by all Residents of City The reception of Sir Wilfrid Laurier in this city on August 20, while not carried out on as elaborate a scale as some that he will receive on his western tour, will be none the less hearty. Nowhere will he be given a more united reception. Party is being dropped entirely on this occasion and all will unite to give to the prime minister the reception he deserves. The Prince George is to be placed at his disposal for the trip from Victoria. With the party that accompanies him he will reach here about noon Saturday, August 20. As far as the committees have so * * * * * LOOKING TO SETTLEMENT * (Special to The Journal) Toronto, Aug. 2—Conferences between the Grand Trunk officials, representatives of the Railway Brotherhoods and W. L. Mackenzie King, -minister of labor, continues. No statements are made regarding the progress * f the negotiations. Canadian Northern Officials Would Like to Secure Intercolonial Railway. William Mackenzie Makes Announcement That This is Ambition of His Company William Mackenzie, president of the Canadian Northern Railway announced In Montreal a few days ago probably for the first time for publication, that the Canadian Northern railway wanted to get possession of the Intercolonial railway from Montreal to Halifax and Sydney. "During four and a half years," Mr. Mackenzie said, "the Canadian Northern had done nothing in the way of construction on the main line, but during that time they had built no less than 1,200 miles of branches. "To this policy of keeping the branch lines well along was due the success attending the Canadian Northern as freight carriers on the plains and from Lake Superior westward." Being asked what his company intended doing in the east, Mr. Mackenzie said: "We want the Intercolonial, which will be the natural extension of the Canadian Northern from here to the Atlantic seaboard." "Are you not afraid some of the other fellows will get It away from you?" the president was asked. "There's not the slightest danger ot that," said he. far been able to arrange matters, the reception will consist of the presentation of addresses at the wharf in which the civic address will be supplemented by others from the residents of the city who are of French extraction and possibly by the Indians of the district. A band will be present'and the school children will be placed in a position to welcome the Premier, singing patriotic songs. Mayor Stork specially desires all who attend, even if it is raining, to provide to protect themselves by other means than by umbrellas. The use of umbrellas would shut out the view of many, and ladies as well as men are to be asked to leave them at home. On Saturday night there will be a monster banquet to Sir Wilfrid. Sunday will be spent quietly, and on Monday the Prime Minister and party will probably be taken out over the line of the G. T. P., and brought back, If possible, by steamer, so as to allow a call at a cannery. About three o'clock there will be a great out door meeting at a place to be decided upon. At this gathering there will be ample accommodation reserved for ladies and children. It will possibly be at the corner of Second avenue and Sixth street. Monday night there will be a smoker in the opera house. That night the party will leave again for the south. The G. T. P. has arranged to give return trips from all near-by points including Stewart and the Queen WILL SERVE PUBLIC Captain Nicholson Alters Schedules to Better Meet Demands of Shipping Hen. Prince Albert Goes Direct to Masset From Here—Double Call at Queen Charlotte City MILITIA UTILIZED (Special to The Journal) Fore Erie, Aug. 2.—Two companies of the 44th militia regiment, 23 members of the Canadian Regiment of Infantry, f-ad 27 members of the Royal Canadian nragoons are here. The authorities have asked military assistance, fearing trouble over the Grand Trunk strike. The closing of the race track left a number of hangers-on from whom violence was apprehended. Charlottes to Prince Rupert at single fare rates at the time of Sir Wilfrid's visit. This will induce a large attendance here from the outside. o GOOD SALMON RUN ' Capt. Nicholson, superintendent of the. G.T.P. coast steamship service, after spending a week in this city and the surrounding district has left 'for the south again. Not an idle moment was put in here by the captain. He was ever on the move arranging for improving the service which the company has recently inaugurated out of the city and which requires from time to time considerable adjusting in order to serve the public better. Two changes have been made in connection with the Queen Charlotte Island services that will improve it considerably. The steamer Prince Albert on leaving here after the arrival of the Prince George on Sunday will go direct to Masset. Returning the Naas, Port Simpson and other mainland points will be taken in. This will give a very direct service with Masset. , The other change is in connection with the southern trip. Leaving here after the Prince Rupert arrives, the first port of call on the Queen Charlottes will be Queen Charlotte City. The remaining ports will be covered and then on the way back Queen Charlotte City will again be made a port of call. This change will be a welcome to the travelling public. As now arranged travellers can go to Queen Charlotte City do business and get back on the same steamer. The change is made as a result of Capt. Nicholson's investigations. With the government offices located at Queen Charlotte City, that point has become the Important business centre on the island. Skidegate is within such easy reach also of that port that travellers can make the return trip to Queen Charlotte City from Skidegate in time to catch the steamer. Speaking of the service, Capt. Nicholson said he was prepared to re-arrange it on half an hour's notice following the need of any change. The situation in a new country like this was ever changing and the company was prepared to do the best it could for the public. Capt. Nicholson was well pleased with the apparent development on the islands. He thinks there is promise of a bright future before that part of the province. There is considerable development going on and much more to be done. Capt. Nicholson made the trip to Stewart and then continued south by the Prince George, accompanied by Mrs. Nicholson and his son. R. L. Newman, the designer of the G. T. P. vessels, also made the trip with Capt. Nicholson, and was pleased with the prospects on the Queen Charlottes. o FIRES IN INTERIOR (Special to The Journal) Ottawa, AugU3t 2.—The question of the jurisdiction between British Columbia and the Dominion government as regards the fisheries, is to be settled by an appeal to the supreme court of Canada.

Diamond Drills Were Put Out Business For Time Owing to Forest Conflagration of Catch in Traps Near Victoria Largely Increased Over Former Years (Special to The Journal) Victoria, Aug. 2.—The salmon catch this season In the traps In the Straits of Juan de Fuca will be four times as large as four years ago. Southern British Columbia was not the only part of the province to suffer from forest fires this summer. In the Telkwa district there was also damage done. Harry Howson, the well known mining, man, reached the city a day or two ago from the Telkwa, where he has heavy interests and brought the news that about two weeks ago the coal drilling operations on Morice River, being carried on under Thomas Jefferson, representing New York capital, had been stop- lied by a forest fire that swept down on the camp and put the diamond drills that were at work out of business. There was no heavy loss otherwise except to the timber in the district. Two drills were at work when the fire struck the camp. It was impossible to combat the flames. One drill was not so badly damaged as the suing of licenses falls within the jurisdiction of the Dominion fisheries department. The supreme court has been asked by the federal government to answer a list of questions in a stated case involving the constitutional issue. This dispute as to the province's rights has been brought to an Issue largely through the instrumentality of Hon. W. J. Bowser, Attorney Gen eral and Commissioner of in the provincial government. He took a decided stand on the question and failing an amicable settlement between the governments, took the aggressive and put in force regulations based upon the contentions of the local government. This decided action on his part has apparently brought about this appeal to the courts. o .— Special evangelistic meetings are being held all this week in the Baptist church, at the head of Sixth street, by the Rev.

McGrath Second Payment Male by That Organization on Properties Near Ketchikan There arrived in the city a few days ago, William M. Brewer, president of the Pacific Metals Company of Victoria. Here Mr. Brewer joined C. L. Parker, manager of the same company, and last evening they proceeded to Ketchikan by the steamer Princess May. The object of their trip is for the purpose of making the second payment on the Dean Group of seven claims there. This was taken over by the company last May, when the first payment was made. A force of men was started at work on the property which gives excellent indications. While here the officials of the Pacific Metals Company made the first payment on the properties taken over by them at Goose Bay, Observatory Inlet. These were purchased from Joseph McGrath of this city, who has covered a large part of the mineral section on Portland Canal and Observatory Inlet. The claims taken over from Mr. McGrath are the Red Jacket and the Red Wing. Some time ago these came under the notice of Messrs. Brewer and Parker, two of the most conservative mining engineers on the coast. They have personally examined the claims and are well satisfied with the outlook. These properties are in the vicinity of the mine being developed by M. K. Rodgers and his associates for which $1,500,000 was refused recently. The Pacific Metals Company will develop both these groups mentioned to a considerable extent before deciding what shall be done with them. o BREAK WITH VATICAN BODY IS RECOVERED Fisherman Lost Near Port Essington is Picked Up by Japanese. No Inquest Was Deemed Necessary by the Provincial Police Authorities The body of Charles Neal has been found near Port Essington. Chief Constable Wynn of the provincial force went over on receiving word that a body had been found and bad little trouble In Identifying the remains as those of Charles Xeul, who was lost about July 11, No Inquest will be necessary. Neal had been fishing with a companion named Jackson. At night Jackson had taken his turn at sleeping and on waking found that Neal, who was on watch, had disappeared. He had apparently accidentally fallen overboard in some way during the night. The body was found by some Japanese fishermen on Sunday entangled in their nets. The funeral is being held todaj in Port Essington. CRIPPEN TO RETURN Alleged Murderer Will Not Fight Extradition From Canada. Capt.

'" (Special to The Journal) Rome, Aug. 2.—Marqu.. « OJeda, Spanish ambassador to the Vatican left Rome Monday. Mgr. Veltco, still remains in Madrid as papal nuncio. This action on the part of Rome results from the decree of June 11 permitting non-Catholic societies to display the insignia of public worship. The Vatican declared that unless this were withdrawn, negotiations looking to the revision of the concordat would discontinue. The government took the ground that it would tolerate no imposition. The government will immediately proceed with its measures of reform, including the restriction of religious orders, and the regulation of education and the general relations of the church and state.

Seeking a Visit New Westminster.—A meeting of Lhe Liberal club was held in the club rooms recently when the' omission of this city from the schedule of Premier Laurier's stopping places in British Columbia was adversely commented upon. It was decided to use every influence to induce the veterati leader to arrange for a meeting here, n committee being named to wait upon Sir Wilfrid in Vancouver and urge him to visit Westminster. Magnetic Iron Vancouver.—Mr. Fred W. Sharp, of Vancouver, an experienced prospector and miner, returned from the Thompson river country a few days ago, where he located a group of magnetic iron ore claims which he believes will prove of considerable value. An assay of t,he mineral by the government assay office shows that the ore carries 61 per cent pure Iron. Mr. John P. McConnell, of the Sunset Publishing Company, and several other gentlemen In that city are interested with Mr. Sharp in the group, and arrangements are being made to form a company to begin development work at an early date. The group Is located seven miles east of Lytton and about 150 miles from Vancouver on the north shore of the Thompson river, and on the line of the Canadian Northern railway.

Patterson has been appointed commissioner to enquire into Canada's titles to northern lands, and that he would accompany Captain Berniur on this year's cruise in the Dominion government steamer Arctic, followed by the announcement that the United States government had notified American whalers that they need not pay license fees to the Canadian authorities In Hudson Bay as Canada's claim of sovereignty over that region was no longer recognized, raises a new and vitally important issue in Anglo-American relations, and one fraught with pos- sibiltiesv of much contention that will probably require an arbitral tribunal to dispose of. This question is really not new, but has merely taken on a new phase because of recent American action. In 1903 the Dominion government sent Prof. A. P. Low to Hudson Bay in the steamer Neptune, of St. John's to asesrt Canadian authority there and re-annex the lands north of that inlet, and followed that in 1904, with the steamer Arctic (formerly the German South Polar expeditionary ship Gauss), conveying Major J. D. Hoodie with authority as governor of Hudson Bay and instructions to establish permanent posts and enforce Canadian laws there. - Ground for Whalers United States whalers voyage from New Bedford into Hudson Bay, and from San Francisco into Beauford, round the north coast of Alaska, and both penetrate to the very confines of the Arctic zone itself. Until recently their operations in these regions were not challenged but now after they have prosecuted this industry in Hudson Bay for over half a century, and In Beaufort Sea for a generation, Canada has latterly determined upon asserting her authority in both areas. When Canada began this policy seven years back It was predicted that the United States, however slight the claim its subjects might have to ply their calling in these remote seas, would not quietly submit to their exclusion from waters they had resorted for so long a perfod, especially in view of the success the United States had secured in the Behring Sea dispute, the Alaska boundary dispute, and the other Issues arising between Grand Trunk Pacific Steamships For VANCOUVER, VICTORIA, SEATTLE.

In 1880, according lo the bureau, the value of the exported manufactures was $122,000,000; in 1890, $179,- 000,000, and in 1900, $485,000,000.

The Man—I wish you would endeavor to show me a little more affection. You never even call me "dear," as other men's wives do. The Woman — Do other men's wives call you "dear"? In justice to Canada, however, It should be explained that she denies that the American whalers have a shadow of right to enter Hudson Bay, contending that they are poachers, carrying away the products of an exclusively Canadian fishery, and utterly disregardful of the sovereign rights of the power which owns the region. Hudson Bay was discovered by Henry Hudson in 1610, and sixty years later the Hudson's Bay company was formed and gfven a charter by the British King, granting it possession of the bay itself and all of the watershed that drains into it, this vast territory embracing virtually the whole of what is konwn as Western Canada today. The French disputed this sovereignty some time afterwards and overran the bay, capturing the fur company's forts there, and sinking its fleets, but by the treaty of 1713 British sovereignly was admitted and France surrendered up all she had gained there. The British title to the region was never again disputed, and in 1818, when the fishery treaty was drafted which is now under arbitration at the Hague, a clause was inserted providing that the rights hitherto enjoyed by Americans on Labrador and northward indefinitely were "without prejudice to the rights of the Hudson Bay Company." Fifty years ago, the company's rule over its western territories having provoked a revolt against the Inhabitants of what is now Manitoba, Canada purchased from the company all its territorial and sovereign rights, just as the East India Company's similar rights we're taken over by the British crown after the Indian Mutiny. j Basis of Claims Canad would seem to have an un answerable claim to the sovereignty of- the entire region. She defines that from the entrance to Hudson Strait by a line drawn from Cape Chidley the northern projection of Labrador, the Resolution Island, the southern extremity of Baffin Land, all tho waters and lands to the west, including the numerous islands of Arctic America, are her exclusive possession by rights of: 1. Discovery (the waters, coast land and hinterland having been ex plored and charted by British ex plorers.) Occupation (the region having been occupied only by the Hudson's Bay Company.) 3. Treary cession (the British rights to the region have been ad- mitted by the French In 1713). 4. Acquiesence (the United States having acqnlwledged the Hudson's Bay Company's rights in 1818.) 5. Purchase (Canada having bought out the company in 1870). American Objection But Americans are indisposed to asquiesce in any such conclusion as regards the waters of the bay. They contend that the British had originally no rights beyond the three-mile limit, that the French In 1713 could cede them no more, and that the American concurrence in 1818 could only apply to the same territorial waters. In other words, they questioned the right of the British monarch to grant such a charter. The Americans maintain as a usual thing, that the boundary should follow the windings of the coastline, and extend only three miles outward, but the commissioners in 1888 were obliged to consent to a wider interpretation of the matter and to subscribe to the principle of "sovereignty over the bays lying within the jaws of the land," because it was pointed out to them that by their contention they denied to Britain what they claimed upon their own coasts for themselves, Inasmuch as the entrance to Chesapeake Bay is at least ten miles wide, that lo Delaware Bay eighteen miles, and that to Cape Cod Bay thirty-two miles, over all of which waters the United States claims territorial jurisdiction. Discussing this subject, the late Hon. David Mills, minister of justice of Canada declared that, although the entrance to a bay may be fifteen or twenty miles wide, it is not the less within the exclusive jurisdiction of the state into whose territory it stretches, and this right originated in the right of contiguity and in the right of self-existence. This Is the most important question, in the controversy between the two countries, and to yield to the United States contention in respect to the large bays upon our coast, within our borders, would be to make a cession of territory which is absolutely and exclusively ours." o The civil service commissioners at Ottawa are advertising for surgeons three at first, for the Canadian navy.

K. Lamont, in the London Graphic. There are also at least six families holding three peerages each, seven holding four each, while lihe Howards, through the Inflaence •of heirs-female, hold seven different ipeerages among them. By a peerage family we understand ■one whose members, claiming common descent from a not too remote ancestor, hold among them more than on barony or higher hereditary honor. Unconsciously we think of all bearers of the same name as being members of one family descended from a common ancestor—some more or less mythical Romulus. IWth: the peers, three-fourths off whom hide their family name under a territorial designation, it would peem at -first sight otherwise. Had it become a uniform custom in the early days of parliament when a wrti of summons was issued to each baron by name, for peers on creation to retata 'the patronymiv in their title, It would in time have led to perpetual confusion, as was apparent in a slight iflegree when Mr. Mrorley retained hie name on being created a viscount, there being already a Parker, Earl tff Mor- ley, and a Ponsonby, Baron tff "Mauley. As it as, the trtDe of a pasr, and In many cases the Burname he bears, covers a multitude of surprisingly contradictor facts. To most people .alterations of surnames seems unmeaning antl often ridiculous; but these changes have their foundation 'in a passion'for historical family continuity, be it in the male or even in the femsile'line. One representative of an old family who elided a vowefl in the spilling ot his name, defended St on the ground that he hotped ny that meant! to distinguish all his direct descendants in the next world. If In the Bfpper'hanBe'SomeSfarhtlles seem to be over-represented, -others are as undoahtedrj nnder-represent- ed. Of the family" peerages under consideration, about (two-thirds were bestowed for counsp'rcuous services rendered to King and country, while the remaining (third may be -attributed to Bodsll and territorial influences. We eouild at tedious length lay our finger .cm the 'specific mason that prompted the creation of every peerage that exists; but evet today ;a list of new honours excites only the mildest interest, as anyone conversant with the publfc and social life-ot the times can foretell what peerages ■will be bestowed and why. The reasons of today were the reasons cdf •yesterday and tht flay befon. Had all peerages descended in strictly made line and been Wholly granted for purely individual merit, a olose study of peerage families would repay the student of eugenics. Unfortunately for that purpose the strict law of remainder to heirs-male only in comparatively of too modern a growth to be confidently relied on. Peers and their younger sons, more- cover, have always shown a wonderful .aptitude for allying themselves with heiresses, thus bringing into their families, with no great intellectual exertion on their part, baronies by •writ in abeyance, and the hope of reviving recently extinct titles in themselves or in the next generation. Any data gathered, therefore, can scarcely be taken as sufficiently trust-worthy for criticising the statement hecently made In the Times by Sir Francis Gallon, that among the sons of fleers the "eldest-uorn are, as a rule, inferior in natural gifts to the younger- born in a small but significant degree." Naturally this hypothesis would suggest that ultimately the mental capacity of eldest sons would be reduced to the vanishing point. To compensate that trend, however, we find that opportunely the eldest line of the first peer in the majority of cases has failed, yielding place to the second or the younger branches. The present Marquess of Lansdowne, for instance, is the eldest son of the second son of the Second son of the first marquesB. The third Earl of Bedford was the only son of a third son; the fourth earl was cousin to the third; while the third and fourth dukes were brothers, as were the fifth and sixth, and the tenth and the eleventh. As a matter of practical family history, howover, disappointing it may be to the popular imagination, II Is the exception, in the .. —,.: ... for a peerage to descend from father to eldest son In three au^vefltng generations, The whole matter, accordingly, as put by Sir Francis Gal- ton, would seem rather to resolve Itself Into a question not of the pos-' session of "natural gifts" but the use of them. A younger Son has generally to make his own position, though we find him very comfortably situated as his mother's heir.' For the eldest- born, generally, the lines, to quote the psalmist, are fallen to him in pleasant places; he has a goodly heritage. He Is heir of the possessions and the traditions of his house, while the younger .members are driven to emulate the fortunes of the founder of the family. If there,is any truth In necessity making opportunity, it is a little difficult to gauge the difference in "natural gifts" between the eWest-bom in his daily round of unostentatious country work and a younger son ostensibly engaged in puWic life for his own good. Among prime ministers since 1785 there hawe been younger sons in the persons of Pitt, RIpon, Wellington, Melbourne, Lord John Russell and the late Marquess of Salisbury. To counterbalance them we have also as premiers, eldest-born sons in Liverpool, Grey, Derby, Palmeraton, and Lord Rosebery; and he would be a bold critic who would presume to sit in judgment on the "natural gifts" of these tow sets of 'iirst ministers. Lord Stanley of Prest'on, the well- known cabinet minister, was second son of the Premier tori of Derby. Of the late Duke of Rutland f n second son who afterwards (succeeded to the family honors) Mr. Justin McCarthy lias remarked that "no Conservative government could be supposed to get on without Lord John .'Manners." The first Earll Granville, secretary for war In 1907; the Earl of'Ellesmere, secretary for war twenty years later; Lord Herbert of Lea, war secretary In three ministries, and the Hon. Edward Stanhope, secretary for the same department in Lord Salisbury's second government, are all peers' younger sons. In all other departments of public life fhe younger sons during the later Victorian days upheld their traditions.

KITTING RECEPTION The citizens of Prince Rupert In common with those of other cities in British Columbia, have shown commendable spirit in the way they have united to tender Sir Wilfrid Laurler a reception. The visit of a Premier of the Dominion to the parts of the country most distant from the capital must Of necessity be very infrequent. It is, therefore, fitting that when these visits are made there should be wiped, as far as possible, all party feeling. The public men of the country represent the supporters of the Opposition just as much as the supporters of the party in power. The reception here will not be marred iy any party feeling. o TO PROTECT PUR DEALERS The Secret Has Been Solved In Dutch Town of Utrecht possible so far io settle the programme of agenda. On February li, 1909, the secretary of state invited the governments of the Domin- Utrecht is a quiet enough Dutch I ions to take into consideration the country town, where the plaint of I ^tffltffltffltffltffltfflifflaMtffltffl.^ ,.'..;..;..;. .j,,;..;.,;. # .;,,;, ,j, ►;, „;,,;.,;, ,5, ,j, ,5, ,*, ,j. .j, ,j,,;, ,5, ,3,,;. ,5, .j, ^ ...,., „,, j. < * Move is Made to Save the Trade for British Columbia To induce the British Columbia government to levy a prohibitive export tax on fur securing in this province is the object of an agitation inspired by a number of the western Canadian dealers. They have been led to make this proposal because of the exceptional conditions disclosed during the past few months. It appears that the American wholesalers of Seattle, Tacoma and other Washington State centres hav& practically secured all the raw fur trapped during the winter of 1909-10. This has placed the traders of Vancouver, Victoria and other provincial citieu in the position of having to attenl She auction sales of the American cities in order to replenish their stocks. "It is absurd," exclaimed a Victoria merchant, in discussing the situation, "it isn't long ago that this business, aggregated hundreds of thousands of dollars every year, most of which passed through Victoria. Now it has dwindled to nothing and we are in the position of having to 80 to a foreign port to re-purchase furs obtained in our own country. The time has arrived for drastic governmental action." A party of Canadian fur dealers, from Vancouver and Victoria, have Just returned from a big auction sale conducted by the West Coast Grocer Company, of Tacoma, says the Colonist. The amount of fur which changed hands on this occasion, it is believed, would reach the $20,000 mark. There were a few silver fox, «ne of which was a splendid specimen. It sold for $500. Some white !ox also brought excellent prices. The skins most in demand were mink, lynx, marten and fox. The average price obtained for mink was $7; f 0 ■ Symx, $30; for marten, $10; and for fox, $9. Besides there were quantities of bear, muskrat, otter and beaver. A noteworthy fact in connef tion with this year's supply of" fur from the North American wilderness is lhat the mink, the previous season not over plentiful, is much in evidence. Comparatively speaking, this 3kth, the traders have found, Is plentiful. In all the sales which have been held in tbe north Pacific since the trappers have arrived and placed their takings on the market, the mink has been found in goodly quantities, The lynx, last year not par- tlcMiVarly scarce, is found wanting.

CONFERENCE question of the business which might usefully be discussed at the next conference, with a view to the suggestion of any subjects which in their opinion should in the interests of the Empire at large engage its.attention. The only answers received were from three of the South African governments, indicating that the question of proposing any subjects for discussion must be left to the Union Government about to be established. "On March 9, 1910, the attention of the other governments was again drawn to the question by telegraph So far as his Majesty's government is concerned, correspondence has been proceeding with the various departments as to subjects suitable to be proposed for discussion." Referring to the approaching imperial conference, the right hon, gentleman later In committee of supply detailed the steps which had been taken to establish an Imperial secretariat, and stated that all that was decided upon at the last Colonial conference had been carried out. Sir Clement Kinloch-Cook (C, Devonport) asked whether the conference of 1907 was to be described as a Colonial or as an Imperial Conference. The reason he asked was, in a paper recently published by the Colonial Office, it was described as a Colonial Conference, but the righ* hon. gentleman spoke of it as an Imperial Conference, he should like to know which was correct. Colonel Seely: It doesn't matter what word we use so long as everybody knows what we mean and it gives offence to no one. Sir Charles Dilke (L, Forest of Dean) objected to the view that the Imperial Secreariat of the Colonial conference should be run on the lines of water-tight compartments, believing that the association of the Imperial idea with the white races only would ultimately be a destructive one for an Empire rested on countless millions of colored people. Mr. A. Lyttelton (C, St. George's, Hanover-square) with reference to Colonial conference urged the necessity of a full and detailed agenda being prepared beforehand. o INTERESTING ANNIVERSARY Church of England Will Celebrate Beginning of Work in Canada Scope of Next Gathering In London Has Not Yet Been Decided Upon Colonel Seeley, under secretary for the Colonies, in reply to a question to the Imperial House of Commons, jaid that the date of the next Colonial Conference had not yet been fixed, and would not be decided upon until the date of the Coronation had been Bttled. In a further reply to Mr. Macklnd- ir (C, Glasgow, Camlaehle), Colonel feefy said: The Church of England will in September next celebrate the two hundredth anniversary of the beginning of Its ministry in Canada. In 1710 there were no Anglicans in the regions now comprising Ontario and Quebec. But Acadia was ceded to Great Britain in that year. The British had taken possassion more than once before but had given the country back to France. The cession of 1710 was final so far as Nova Scotia proper was concerned, and that year regular services of the Church of England began at Port Royal, now Annapolis. Roman Catholic worship had been conducted at Port Royal for a century before that time. Thus it happens that two memorial festivals will take place in Eastern Canada almost simultaneously, one celebrating the completion of the second century of Anglican worship and one the completion of the third century since the first Catholic baptism. More than seventy years passed after the beginning of Protestant worship before the first diocese in what is now Canada was established and the first bishop consecrated. This was after the American revolution, and was one of the results of that separation. The first bishop, nearly all his clergy and the great part ot their congregations were Loyalists The diocese of Nova Scotia is the oldest colonial diocese in the British Empire. The whole of British Amer- ice, as far west as Lake Superior, appears to have been under the jurisdiction of Bilisop Inglis. A part of the bicentennial celebration will be the opening of the new All Saints' Cathedral at Halifax. The diocese or Nova Scotia is the mother of several others which have stately cathedrals. But there has been none in Halifax until now. 0 A young woman of a Western town desired to show some kindness to a young officer of the militia to whom she had taken a fancy. She therefore despatched this note: "Mrs. Smythe requests the pleasure of Capt. White's company at a reception on Friday evening. A prompt reply came which read: "With the exception of three men who are sick, Capt. White's company accept your kind "The Governments of the self-gov-j invitation and will come with pleas- truing Dominions have not as yet indicated the subjects which they de- ure to your reception Friday ning." the anti-noise leagues is never heard. This situation, curiously enough, does not prevent Utrecht from possessing the only absolutely noiseproof room in the world. Heretofore it was Prof. Wilhelm Wundt, of the Vsychological Laboratory of Leipzig who had come nearest to the scientific elimination of all sound from an enclosed space, but Prof. Zwaardemaker, of Utrecht University, has gone one step further, and he has communicated details of his achievement to the Amsterdam Royal Academy of Science. For an absolutely noiseproof room it is essential not only that no sound shall penetrate It from without, but also that it shall resist sound. propagation, reflection and refraotlou within. The first problem is comparatively easy to solve. The walls of Prof. Zwaardemaker's room consists of six layers, alternately of wood, cork and sand. There are two spaces, one between the second and the third layer, and one between the fourth and the fifth, from which the air has been extracted. The inner walls are of porous stone covered with a kind of horsehair cloth, known as trichopiese, a Belgian invention, which is sound resisting and is widely used in Belgium in telephone booths. The walls are pieroed by acoustically Isolated leadr ed rods. ' < The roof is composed of layers oi lead, wood, asphalt paper, seagrasa and^cork.

PAID SHORT VISIT John Bull, a well known London sporting paper, says:— Three months ago there arrived in this country from India four British subjects named Gama, Imam Bux, Ahmud Buksh and Gamu. They are the champion Indian wrestlers. The reason they are here is best told by R. Benjamin, their business manager; • • - "I know something about wrestling, and when I saw the four men I have here in London wrestle In India, I knew at once I had In one of them the champion of the world. "The next thing was how to get them to London. Money alone Would not do it, for these men are all of high caste. Moreover, they are favor ites of well-known Rajahs, who delight In the sport of wrestling, and constantly pit their men one against another. "Having set my mind upon bringing them to London, however,-1 first of all approached different Rajahs. "I can't say they were particularly struck with the idea, but when I. put it to them that iii the interest of sport it would be Instructive to gee how their countrymen fared when pitted against white men who called themselves champions of the world, they began to consider the question. At last everything was satisfactorily arranged, and we sailed. "On the voyage I had considerable trouble with my men because they are not good sailors. However, I managed to land them in fairly good condition. "Then I sent them Into the country to train, while I ran up to London to get, If possible, a match. "With W. H. Wieland I called at he office of the Sporting Life and made a deposit of £25 towards a match between Gama and any so-called champion. No notice whatever being taken of this challenge, I called at the office of the Sporting Life again on June 2nd. This time I deposited £100, with a challenge to Gotch on behalf of Gama for £250 a side. This challenge duly appeared In the Sporting Life on June 3rd. Again no notice was taken, and my men are beginning to form a very bad idea of our so-called sport. I dare not tell them what I know. That would be humiliating to my race. These men play fair. At the moment, no money would buy them. Of course, they may adopt western methods some day, and when they do, It may be bad for us. "Next, the Sporting Life very kindly published a letter from me challenging Hackenschmldt, Mahmout and Cherplllod, the winner of the times in thirty minutes for £100 a Han. , We gladly come to the aid of our India subjects. For some time past there have been suspicions that most of these wrestling matches have been simply a question of £ s d; and that there has been no sport in-them, the winner having been decided upon before entering the. ring. Of these things we personally know nothing hut we are told that these Indian wrestlers could have had scores of matches and made a pile of money had they only fallen into line and wrestled to order. This they refused to do. Their reply has always been, "We have to go back to India.' They wish to return victors. The matter should be cleared up. If the stake is not big enough foi the "champion" white wrestlers to compete for, we have no doubt a larger sum could be put up. In any case, our services are at the disposal of both sides. So let them come to business. After this challenge, something must be done. Hon. Frank Oliver Arrived in Port on the Steamer Princess Royal. ARMY OFFICER SHOT Capt. Elliston of Work Point Barracks Killed by Private in the Force. Well Known Member of Permanent Staff at Victoria Comes to Tragic End After Arduous Cross Country Trip to Dawson He is Returning to His Duties at Ottawa GRAHAM ISLAND RAILWAY Local Government Sent Engineer to Enquire Into Proposals C. L. McCammon, a well known engineer, has returned to Victoria from an extended tour through Graham Island of the Queen Charlotte group, upon which he left some weeks ago under special instructions from the Provincial Government, for the purpose of reporting upon certain proposals that have been advanced relative to comprehensive railway construction In that part of the province. No public announcement as to the contents of Mr. McCammon's report has been made. A good deal of speculation has been rife as to the interests that are back of the projected railway from Queen Charlotte City to Masset. Recent visitors to the Islands say It Is commonly believed there (hat the C. P. R. is back of the project. o Aeroplane Aclcdent Hon. Frank Oliver, minister of the interior in the Ottawa government, paid a short visit to Prince Rupert on Saturday, coming In unexpectedly by the steamer Princess Royal, and after a brief stay here passing on south. In the cabinet of Sir Wilfrid Laurier there is no less unassuming member than Hon. Mr. Oliver. He is essentially a working member with no place in his make-up for anything that savors of "side." He is a diamond in the rough. After a trip, which has before been described In these columns, taking him within the Arctic circle north from Edmonton, and then across to Dawson, the minister looked exceedingly well on arrival here. He was pleased with the trip and the opportunity it gave him to study the im: mense country with which his department has so much to do. In Prince Rupert he paid a hurried visit about the place, being well satisfied with the conditions as they presented themselves. Mr. Oliver is of the west and knows all about new townsites so that there was not the novelty attaching to Prince Rupert for him that there is for some others of those who come here. o (Special to The Journal) Victoria, Aug. 2.—Capt. P. Ellis- ton, R.C.A., was fatally shot at Work Point Barracks yesterday morning by one of the members of the force. Capt. Elliston was formerly identified with the artillery corps of the Imperial army stationed at Work Point Barracks. Before the regiment left for England on the taking over of the station by the Canadian government a few years ago, an opopr- tunity was given to the officers and men who wished to transfer to the Canadian service to do so. Capt. Elliston was one of the first to avail himself of the opportunity. He was in command of the artillery branch of the service at Work Point and adjutant for the district under the D.O.C., Col. Peters. Capt. Eliston was very deeply interested In fruit growing and gave all his spart time to the work. He invested about $2n,000 in orchards close to Victoria and was very successful in this line of work, being recognized as one of the authorities on fruit growing In the province. He intended eventually to retire from the service and make his home on the fruit farm he possessed and which was planted by him just outside the city limits. Two years ago Mrs. Elliston, whose family belonged to Halifax, died. The officer was quite popular outside of military circles, especially among the fruit farmers of the province. He took a deep interest in target shooting and was a good shot himself. He was a man who was very unassuming in manner, carrying this lack of ostentation to th6 point of being sometimes criticized aa being unmilitary in his manner. The funeral of Capt. Elliston will be a military one. The Fifth Regiment, R.C.G.A., of Victoria, will attend in a body. SKATING CARNIVAL First Masquernde Was Success a Decided The city council sitting last night transacted considerable routine busl ness, advancing bylaws different I ana tne -jockey girl" and The first masquerade carnival held by the roller rink on Saturday evening was a grand success. There was a large attendance and thirty or forty patronizers of the rink came in varied masked costume. Some of the costumes were very unique and were well received by the crowd of spectators, who took as much delight in the performance as the skaters themselves. The management of the rink decided to give three prizes for the costumes; one for the best original make-up, one for the burlesque, and one for the best comic. Mrs. Humble, who was dressed as the "Empire" girl, took the prize for the best original costume. The representation of Halley's comet by Harrison Rogers was one of the most Interesting costumes on the floor, and was an easy winner in the burlesque class. C. Rogers, who was dressed as a clown, took the prize for the best comic costume. Many other persons deserve special mention for the manner in which they were dressed; Mrs. Merryfield looked very charming in a yellow dress, representing a flower; folly" stages.

These men are nearly al) farmers and are from nearly every state in the union. Very few of them have remained in the cities at all, but have gone Into the country, where they are now located on farms. Besides actual cash they brought with them stock and chattels amounting In value to many thousands or several millions of dollars. Of all the European and British immigrants arriving in western aCn- ada during the year, over 90 per cent have entered through Canadian ports and the other 10 per cent cams through the United States. The tide of immigration, according to the officials, is changing from the United States through Canadian ports. * * * * + •S"5» <5» »2"> •>♦*>♦;• *> In the months of March, April, May and June of this year enough Immi grants arrived in western Canada from Great Britain to populate four cities equal in size to Brandon, Sas katoon, Prince Albert and Medicine Hat. These were British immigrants alone and besides there there were over ten thousand arrivals from Eu rope In the same period and forty-six and a half thousand Americans. Figures have been compiled up to date by Mr. J. Bruce Walker, com' missioner of immigration, which shows in striking manner the enormous growth in population of the west since the year ending March 31 1910. Since that date 208,794 lm migrants have arrived in western Canada. This number Is made up ol 59,790 from the rBitish Isles, 45,206 who came from the various countries of Europe and 103,798 arrivals from the United States, the latter being nearly all wealthy farmers. At the lowest estimate, each one oi these immigrants averaged in actual cash $1,000, and some carried with them sums ranging from $25,000 to $50,000. Between the first day oi March of this year and the first day of the present month, there detrained at Winnipeg no less than !-.,«»,i souls. Of that number 35,000 were British, 10,900 Europeans, and 46,' 500 from the United States. Those from Europe consist chiefly of Scandinavians, Germans, Austrians and Russians. The 46,500 Americans who lefl homes in the country on the othei side of the border came through the ports of Winipeg, Emerson, Gretna, Portal, and Kingsgate. A great percentage of these were very well-to-dd and the lowest estimate that could be placed on the money brought into the country by them would be approximately $50,000,000 in foui SV.W ANIMAL Tracks Found in New Guinea Indicate Creature of Prehistoric Type Living beasts similar to those of prehistoric ages are reported to have been located by explorers engaged in New Guinea, according to advices received by the steamer Makura on her last trip from Australia. The tracks of a nototherium, a wombatlike small elephant, were found on the top of a plateau, 8,000 feet above the sea level.

Every day 15,000,000 letters and postal packets, 250,000 telegrams and £250,000 in postal orders were dealt with. At the end of next year the vast enterprise of the National Telephone Company would be taken over. Arrangements were being rapidly pushed forward, and he anticipated that the transfer would be effected with the utmost smoothness. The system of wireless telegraphy showed very rapid expansion, and the general telegraph system, after some years of decline, was recovering. The post office had spent £2,000,000 on underground cables in various parts of the country to protect the service from interruption by storms. An interesting experiment was to be tried in connection with the savings bank. Money boxes were to be Issued to the public for accumulating their small savings. The post office would keep the keys and so save the holders from the temptation to open the boxes. .More than half the letters that leave this country every year-go to countries with which we have the penny postage rate. The extension of penny postage to France alone, as suggested, was not practicable. To include other countries would bring up the loss to £400,000. Concessions to the staff and the public during the past five years had reduced the post office payment to the exchequer by very nearly a million a year. Subsequently Mr. Samuel discussed the unsatisfactory position of the post office- in regard to boy messengers. Three out of four are discharged without any training filling them to secure skilled or permanent employment, He hoped, by economizing boy labor to reduce the number of boy messengers by 1,000, and also to gel the war office and admiralty Municipal Notice TAKE NOTICE that the Municipal Council of the City of Prince Rupert has fixed Monday, the 8th day of August, 1910, at the City Hall, Prince Rupert, as the time and place for taking the vote of the electors on a by-law of the City of Prince Rupert to create a debt of $40,000 by the issue of debentures for the purpose of providing money to take over and carry on the plant, pole lines, equipment, and entire assets of the Prince Rupert Telephone Company, Limited.

THE PRINCE RUPERT JOURNAL EVOLUTION OF THE DREADNAUGHT TYPE OF BATTLESHIP It was fine to bullet and bite and clapperclaw each other, rolling in slime or leaping from forest bough to hongh, until low cunning discovered that skulls may be cracked at a distance by rocks hurled through the air. It was not bad to light with stones attached to strings, and with clubs and prongs, till a terrible invention of bent wood and twisted gut urove a feathered stick from behind a bush through the cow hide over one's heart. It was a great occasion, when the Marquis of Toledo went to lils renowned workers In steel and ordered new suits of armor on his own design. "All the parts," he said ■must be made of solid plates, overlapping at the joints. The polished ureastplate must project so that the arrows. Impinging upon it at an angle, may glace harmlessly off. The whole of my body that is exposed so long as I am mounted must be armored, and so must my horse. Narrow slits may be let in the helmet for sighting the enemy, but my nose must be protected by an extra bar, and in front of the horse's forehead you must contrive a long spike to act as a ram. Shorter spikes must project from the main joints of my own armor also, and the side-lates of the horse must hang round him like a skirt or net to counter insidious attacks from below. Add what embellishment of inlaid gold arabesque you please, but not too much; for I want eight suits and am very impatient, seeing that the Marquis of Carcassonne has ordered four." So, one glitter of steei from head to foot, the Marquis of Toledo rode out to battle, sweating, but safj— safe as milk In a kettle is against the cat—until someone approached with a new-fangled blowpipe, and, having kindled a mixture of saltpetre, charcoal, and sulphur at one end, discharged through it, with horrible noise, a small cube of iron, which, striking that polished breastplate at an angle, never glanced off as was expected, but went right through. Whereon a riderless horse was seen flouncing about the field, and eight exquisitely wrought suits of armor (one slightly damaged) have ever since hung in the Royal Museum at Madrid. It is always so. Men have spent more time and thought on devising means of killing each other than on any other subject, except food, and their admirable ingenuity in trying to avoid being killed is continually defeated by fresh development of ingenuity in killing. Cowhide, armor castle wall, and heart of oak—one after another they have rotted Into archaeology, or serve for picnics and tourist emptied our purses upon them, hardy change succeeds change; the defences of the South African war are already Victorian, and battleships fall obsolete before they swim. Who said "Dreadnoughts?" Hardly have we emptied our purses upon them, hardly have we poured income tax, land tax, supertax, and death duties into the ravening gulf they have made, hardly have we drained our country dry to order the eight for which we clamored, when still, small voices here and there arise, wondering, questioning, doubting, whether "Dreadnoughts" are of much more service now than the Marquis of Toledo's armor. Year by year we have piled up the increase of battleships in size and price—per- "Dreadnoughts," "Dreadnoughts" super. "Dreadnoughts"— so they go. In twenty years the displacement has risen from the 11,000 tons of the Triumph, to the 26,000 tons of the Conqueror, that will be completed two years from now. At least four ships will then have surpassed the Dreadnought herself by 8,000 tons, and already vessels to which these will seem hardly bigger than King Edwards seemed to them are being ordered for the United Elates, and devised for our own admiralty. Step by step the correspond ing price is mounting up; three- quarters of a million, one million, one and a half, two millions—even two and a half and three millions—are now coming well in sight. But what is the good of it all? ask those questioning voices. What was the good of the steel breastplate with arabesque embellishments when gunpowder was kindled at the end of a tube? What Is the good of super- Dreadnoughts when the narrow seas are quick with mines, torpedoes and submarines? The voices are many. Mr. Wells has raised his warning .prophecy; Colonel Repington speaks In Black- morrow. The North Sea in time of war will be a desert of waters, insecure to both sides, open to neither, commanded by none." What an appalling shock sentences like these will give the panic-mongers of the last two years! If one thing is more certain than another, It is that the Dreadnoughts have been built, and are being built, to act in the North Sea. Either Dreadnoughts or conscription, we are told. "We dare not sleep In our beds till we have two keels to one," shrieked the terrified descendants of Drake and Frobisher. But hardly have they settled down to the slumber of se- Germany there could at first be no better positions for our battle fleets than Scapa Flow and Dover, sealing up both entrances to the sea and ruining the enemy's sea-borne trade, while the flotillas, In which we possess an immense advantage om numbers and skill, would act like cavalry, scouring the water, scouting, destroying the enemy's flotillas and mines; that the aim of torpedoes is very uncertain, and- grows more uncertain as we build our battleship cruisers with continually Increasing speed, so that the new Dreadnoughts will command a speed on any sea such as no destroyer can equal, except at dead aeroplanes, peering down into the depths of ocean for submarines. As when, upon- Afric's golden sand, the dragon crocodile basks secure, watched by attendant birds, who stand beside him or hover above his head. They, at the sight of danger, rouse him with piercing cries, and he, grateful for their ministry, arches his monstrous back and slides Into the safety of the water, fearing alone the one wild beast that, from invisible distance and with Imperceptible bullet, can pierce the Joints of his overlapping mall, and paralyze the sections of his water-tight compartments. ■^99999999999 999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999i Atlantic Steamship —Agency Through tickets and excursion rates to England, France, Germane, and all Scandinavian Ports.

Other voices are heard, the more significant because nameless. "In case of war," says one, "the first thing we should do would be to withdraw, the Dreadnoughts from danger." "In the North Sea," says another, "nothing could venture out but destroyers and submarines." But a destroyer is to a Dreadnought about as cheap and lightly covered as a naked man to the Marquis of Toledo in his armor. As gunpowder brought all fighting men on land back to nakedness and a cloth, will torpedoes cut down our giant ships to little boats not much thicker than a biscuit? Let us hear what Colonel Repington, himself a diligent student of all warfare, has to say: "I think," he writes, "that the North Sea falls within the category of narrow waters which eventually must by a process of evolution which is taking place under our eyes, become practically closed on the outbreak of war, and possibly throughout the war, to the operations of seagoing fleets and cruisers. I think that the great ships to which we devote so much money every year—though they have been, are, and may for a few years more be necessary—will within a limited period of time become useless for most operations of which the North Sea and the Channel will be the theatre." Or, again: "Our great and costly battleships and cruisers must (in time of war) be stowed away safely In some distant safe nnd secluded anchorage—Scapa Flow and Portsmouth today, Bere- haven and Lough Swilly perhaps to- curity when they are roused by the cry that all the Dreadnoughts Un creation could in case of war only be stowed away In some safe, distant and secluded anchorage. The path for Invasion is left open—insecure, but open. The North Sea is bare or a desert, commanded by none. What was the good of all that shouting, all that spending which so much upset the city and the House of Lords? We must have conscription, after all; we must go and get drilled; we must sign the people's petition to be turned into soldiers. We cannot sleep another minute, for there is nothing on the sea between us and Germany now, and al the Dreadnoughts might as well be scrapped, or converted Into health resorts for trips to the midnight sun. Alas! for the vanity of human wishes! There is no one so ludicrous as people who live in fear and we cannot but smile at this new line of panic—this new attempt to bring us all under the drill sergeant. But in so far as it is simply a matter of naval tactics depending on armament the main paint must be considered and answered. We do not mean that the admiralty have not considered It; of course, since the refusal of the Hague conference to prohibit the use of marine mines, it has been one of their chief concerns. Add the great development of the submarine, the torpedo, and the airship, and It is obvious that when Dreadnoughts put out Into a narrow sea, the life on board will correspond to the prayer "to live each day as 'twere the last." We Imagine the admiralty might reply that the North Sea is not really narrow, but a very large area that cannot become a lake; that In case of the Incredible folly of war with calm; that, if it comes to the worst, the Dreadnoughts are more immune against mines and torpedoes than any battleship yet constructed, and would probably keep afloat after the most terrible blow; and, finally, that there are new methods of guarding against torpedo, and even submarine attack We cannot say. We only ask notice for the landsmen's view, for clear sighted prophets, though landsmen are often right when experts are blinded by habit. But, if Dreadnoughts are maintained for ten years more, and that increditable war should come to pass, we have a strange vision of them as they put to sea for the second or third stages of the warfare.

ROGERS, Ticket Agent HAYNOR BROS. FUNERAL DIRECTORS and PROFESSIONAL EMBALMERS THE WORLD'S GOLD Recent publications of the National Monetary Commission of the United Slates make available some interesting particulars of the part which the Bank of France plays in the international money market. The gold reserve of the Bank of France has been allowed to increase until it amounts to about $700,000,000, and is the largest stock held in any bank in the world. Even the advance in the rate of discount which Is occasionally made, is not for the purpose of safeguarding the reserve, but to avoid the decrease of the money in circulation which would result from the tempting and persistent offers from aboard where discount rates rule much higher. With these great resources at its command, the Bank of France has, In the opinion of M. Patron, whose book on "The Bank of France in Its Relation to National and International Credit," has now been translated, become practically the reserve reservoir of gold for the financial world. In summing up the present position of the Bank of France, with its reserve towering above that of any other great bank, M. Patron concludes that this reserve, admirably managed as It Is, affords not only an insurance against crisis, but also the surest guaranty against the recurrence of great wars. Upon this point he concludes thus: "We have shown that the fighting power of a nation has now no limit other than the financial effort of which it is capable. It Is not going too far to state that the formidable cost which a war would Involve has more than once caused our possible enemies to recoil and that in the set I lenient of political or diplomatic questions the nation which Is richest in gold is always the one which commands tiie most respect."

MARINE NEWS OF THE COAST HENRIETTE IN POUT The G. T. P. freighter, Henriette, reached port on Saturday night from the south with a very heavy cargo of general freight for this port. Her cargo was of a very diversified character representing all lines of trade that is carried on here. She will return south as soon as she discharges her freight here. On her way down the Henriette towed the North Bend. LILLOOET COMES IN The Dominion Government steamer Lillooet, engaged in hydrographlc survey work on this coast, came into port on Saturday evening and yesterday took on coal for the coming month. Among the callers whom Capt. Musgrave had during his stay in port was R. L. Newman, the designer of the steamer. POWDER CRAFT The new boat now being built at the Vancouver shipyards for the Hamilton Powder company is a craft 46 feet long with a beam of ten feet, and Is fitted with a 24 horsepower four-cylinder Buffalo engine, capable of making a speed of about nine miles an hour. She has a small cabin forward, and a hold amidships for carrying explosives, if necessary. It is probable, however, that she will be principally engaged in towing scows of explosives between the various powder stations. A peculiarity of her construction is that the wheel and the engines are both operated from the pilot house. She has not been named. It is expected that she will be launched In about a week. THE FUNNEL TEST The peoples of the Persian Gulf and its neighborhood judge not only the ship but the nation that owns it by the number of smokestacks sported. They had a belief in the might of Britain until a German warship came along with three funnels to our one, says the Pall Mall Gazette. Then they believed in Germany, but we regained our lost prestige by sending the four-funnelled Powerful and Terrible around and have kept our posl Hon ever since. Now when our multlfunneled sleeping volcanoes are anywhere in the neighborhood their standing orders are to show themselves to the people, however much they may have to go off their course In so doing Germany may get ahead of us yet by sending down a ship with six fun- iels, and a building duel may arise between the two nations, ending in a parade in the east of warships with lines of chimneys from stem to stern. NEW LINE OF BOATS The Balcom steamship line is the latest to enter the northern British Columbia trade. At "present it has one smalj freighter under charter, the J L. Card, which has returned from Stewart on its initial trip, but Capt. W. J. Balcom, of the Balcom company, who came south on the steamer, states that he Is now negotiating for another freighter, and by next spring expects to have one, probably two, steamers of the type of the Cetriana out from England for the northern trade. The J. L. Card took a full cargo Of building material to Stewart for the constructor of the residence of Stewart Bros., and brought a general cargo south. On her run from the north she nicked up the yacht Shamrock, which was found disabled off Beaver Cove, and towed her to Vancouver, where the Shamrock is owned by Percy Williams, BRITAIN'S SHIPPING The statistical tables in the new issue of Lloyd's register recently published, gives the total commercial tonnage owned in the world, exclusive of vessels of less than 100 tons, as $41,915,000. This is the twenty- fifth year of the publication of these tables, and a comparison of the first and last tables shows the vast Increase that has been made in that time At the same time the sailing tonnage has decreased to a marked degree, for while the steam tonnage of the world has Increased 397 per cent, in twenty-five years, the sail tonnage has decreased 51 per cent. The past twenty-five years have also shown a sweeping change in the construction of vessels. In the building of sailing craft, wood still heads the list, but in steamships practically no wooden hulls are built- A quarter of a century ago nearly half of the steamships were constructed of wood. The table shows that the vessels flying the British flag have a total tonnage exceeding by a,bout 3,500,- 000 tons, all the other eleven principal maritime countries combined, but this is exclusive of the American tonnage on the Great Lakes, which comprises about 2,225,000 tons. CAPT. BERNIER'S PLANS Baulked of his life-long ambition to make a voyage to the North Pole, Capt. Bernier, of the Dominion government seamer Arctic, has evidently been pleased with a commission from the Canadian government to essay the Northwest Passage. An official memorandum from the marine department states that a letter has been received from Capt. Bernier, dated Chateau Bay, July 12th. To this letter, it is stated, Capt. Bernier has attached the following programme of his intended voyage. From Cheateu Bay he proposes to sail for Albert Harbor, Ponds Inlet. From there he proceeds to Beechy Island. The next place of call will be Dealy Island, next Winter Harbor. Thence he will go to Herschel Island. "Capt. Bernier Intimates," continues the departmental memorandum, "that If he reaches the latter place without any accident he will proceed direct from theer to Victoria, B.C." The route thus indicated would carry Capt. Bernier's expedition through the North-west Passage sought by the early Arctic navigators, Ross, Parry and Franklin. They failed in their quest owing to the heavy Arctic ice, which forms a seemingly perpetual barrier across McClure's Strait, between Melville Island and Banks Island. Winter Harbor is the point at which Perry, In 1819, wintered the ships Hecla and Grither, and from whence In the following spring an Ineffectual attempt was made to cross this" barrier. The Northwest Passage made by Capt. Amundsen three years ago, follows a much more southerly course and the grounding of his little vessel several times during the voyage demonstrated the impracticability of the channels for anything like ordinary purposes of navigation. Capt. Bernier's ambition is evidently to force the more northerly passage, which baffled the early British explorers. At Herschel Island, near the mouth of the Mackenzie river, should he succeed In reaching that point, Capt. Bernier will be In communication with civilization for at that place, which is the winter nead- quarters for the American ing the trip from Nome to Kotzebue Sound, when ordinarily it can be made in thirty hours. From July 2 to July 13 she was entirely surrounded by Ice, which in some places was piled to the 'height of eighty feet. On the southward trip, however, the way was comparatively clear. The Mackinaw also brought Information that the United States revenue cutter Bear was instrumental in saving the gasoline cargo of the trading schooner Joe Matthews from being lost In the Ice near Golovin. The Matthews left Nome June 18 with passengers and freight for Golovin. On arriving at Golovin bay she was blocked in with ice, and the passengers walked ashore. Later the vessel was crushed and the crew had to abandon her. The Bear, whoch was at Nome, was notified of the occurrence, and succeeded in locating the camp of the outcast mariners. The Matthews was pulled clear of the heavy ice and was lashed to the Bear. Proceeding to Swedish Mission, the cargo of the stricken craft was salved. YACHT BROCGHT BY RAIL , Th« cruising yacht Honey Boy has arrived at Seattle after a trip across the continent by rail, and has gone to. Port Madison, where he» owner, Mr. N. H. Latimer, has his summer home. The yacht was built in Boston by Messrs. Murray & Tregurtha, and although her dimensions are small, her timbers are heavy enough to weather a deep sea trip. Her length is 55 feet, and her beam 10% feet, and her woods are ot the finest and hardest that can be had. She is propelled oy a four cylinder gasoline engine. Her interior is lighted ana ner searchlight operated with a Holtzer- Cabot dynamo and storage battery outfit. The main cabin Is fitted with two folding berths and two Pullman berths, and she is fitted throughout with every obtainable modern convenience and luxury. Two tenders go with her, one a mahogany rowboat and the other a dory. The Honey Boy is registered with the Seattle Yacht club, and will be used by her owner for cruises along the coast, and to Alaska and the Hawaiian Islands. BEHRING SEA CRUISE Leaving for her annual cruise in northern British Columbia waters and incidentally to patrol the seal fisheries, H. M. S. Algerlne, Captain Jones has sailed from Esquimalt. The Japanese fleet In Behring Sea is larger than ever this year, consisting of about thirty-eight vessels, whereas there are only' seven Victoria schooners operating in these waters. Two of the Japanese poachers were recently chased by the United States steamer Talioma one being eventually captured, while the other succeeded in getting away in the heavy fog which prevailed at the time. MARINE NOTES The Camosun on her return trip from Stewart was several hours behind her usual time reaching port here on Sunday afternoon Instead of In the morning. The Amur was delayed somewhat at the Queen Charlottes and did not reach this port on her way to the south until Sunday. The Cottage City, when she called here on Saturday night, was obliged Arctic to dock at Foley, Welch & Stewart's WIRELESS MESSAGES The advantages of the wireless telegraph system as un aid to navigation on this const has lic-cn proved and ii could not well be dispensed with now. • A long distance wireless message was received from the steamer .Mamma on Thursday at midnight the station at Vancouver .

Expeditions Work Done by Superintendent Young of the Construction Company No longer has the construction gangs engaged In laying the tracks of the G. T. P. out of Prince Rupert in the direction of Hazelton to convey materials by ferry to the mainland. The bridge across Zanardi Rapids is now completed and rails; etc., are being carried by train from the depot of supplies here right to the point where the work is In progress. The work was completed on Sunday, several days earlier than was expected. For this, Superintendent Young, of the Bridge company, Is to be congratulated as It was through his expeditious work that this was made; possible. Superintendent Mehan, of the G. T. P., is naturally highly pleased with the changed conditions as it means much less delay in getting suplies of material to the rapidly advancing eastern terminus which changes about a mile each day. The tug Escort, under Capt. English, left last night for Vancouver to bring up a further supply of rolling stock that awaits shipment there. Until the big gravel pit, about ninety miles from here, 1b reached, the ballasting of the line will have to remain In rather a rough condition. The road is laid for nearly all the way on rock so that It Is in good substantial shape in spite of the fact that the fine ballasting has not been put In place. The Zanardi bridge is a magnificent piece of work. The upper works are of steel with cement and stone substructure. The swift current at this point hindered the work considerably. On Saturday Mayor Stork and members of the city council accompanied by City Engineer Davis, visited the water power of the Georgetown sawmill, which has been offered to the city.
