C, FRIDAY, MAY 26, 1911. Price, Five Cents. No. jrfffl HELD CELEBRATION Splendid Day of Sports Held in the City on Wednesday. Close Contests by the Children and Also in the Adult Competitions May 24 was celebrated in royal style in Prince Rupert, the whole day long being given over to the events. Through the courtesy ot W. C. C. Mehan, general superintendent ot the Grand Trunk Pacific here, and the other officials of the company, the wharf was put at the disposal of the citizens for the events. This made it very convenient as a good straight course was obtainable for all the events. While May 24 is recognized in the city as essentially Children's day, July 1 being devoted to the men's events, there were several adult races and other events during the day which helped to give variety to the sports. The children's events however, were the great ones. Starting off early in the morning, there were no dull moments until after seven in the evening, with a short stop for lunch. The Indian bands in the city marched down to the wharf In the morning and gave several selections, massed under the baton of Job Nelson, of the Kitkattal band. With over a hundred pieces comprised within the seven different bands, the result was excellent, more ■ especially in view of the fact that they had never rehearsed together. Good Hares The fat man's race proved an interesting one, being won by J. R. Beatty in excellent style. The long distance road race for three miles was the one about which the chief interest centred as each of the contestants had many friends backing him up, W. H. Shuman won the cup, winning only after a sharp dash at the close against a., Nicholson. Within about fifty yards of the finish, the mqn were bothered with a dog that crossed their track and accusations of fouling were made by their friends. S. Holmquist went out of bis course and had to give up all hope of being in the finish. Fancy Drill During the afternoon Lieutenant Wright, of the Salvation Army, with a company of children trained by her put on an excellent programme o ffancy drills, bar exercises, Indian club swinging and other exercises.

Keen Rivalry Among the Various Organizations Entered for Contest Through the effort of J. S. Gray and L. Crippen, who did a vast amount of missionary work in connection with the event, the first Indian band contest held in Prince Ru- port on May 24 was a decided success. Seven bands gathered—the Skidegate, Kincolith, Kitkatla, Port Simpson, iMetlakatla, Naas and Upper Naas. The Indians appeared in their brilliant uniforms in some Instance almost resembling military bands. The concert was held under the auspices of the civic committee In charge of the celebration. The preliminary arrangements having been made by Mr. Gray and Mr. Crippen. Dr. Clayton presided at the con- tet which was held in the Empress Theatre. The judges, all former bandsmen of high standing, were W. L. Barker, J. Casley and W. Godson, with J. S. Gray assisting, had a heavy task to perform in awarding the prizes. The keenest rivalry was shown to exist among the different bands and the large crowd of sympathizers which accompanied them to the city. After a full afternoon's playing the Gray cup was awarded to the Skidegate band as the best rendition of an overture. The Kincolith band won first place in the march playing. o IN GOOD STANDING .1. H. Hawthornthwaite, M. P. P., Is Given * ictory Over Nanaimo Loral J. H. Hawthornthwaite, member for Nanaimo, is once more in good standing with the Socialist party, but the Nanaimo local is extinct, its charter having been taken away from it, to be handed over bye and bye to another group of Nanaimo Socialists, who, if they are just as short as Mr. Hawthornthwaite on the monistic philosophy, are longer than their comrades on practical politics, says a Vancouver despatch. It will be remembered that Mr. Hawthornthwaite was expelled with contumely from the Nanalmo Socialist party on the grounds, among others, of his lack of orthodoxy. Among the reasons given was that he was no debater, having been defeated by a working miner in an argument on the true nwardness of the monistic philosophy. He was also ordered to send In his resignation as a member of the bouse. As might have been expected it took more than the monistic philosophy {o upset Mr. Hawthornthwaite. He promptly appealed to the executive committee of the British Columbia end of the partq, which met the other day, and found that the charges against the member for Nanaimo were "frivolous, malicious and unwarrantd," and that in the best Interests of the party the charter of the Nanaimo Socialist local should be cancelled. MAY JOIN CABINET Reported That A. G. NacKay Will Enter Sir Wilfrid's Government. He Is Touring Ontario in the Inter- csts of Reciprocity at tbe Present Time (Special to The Journal) TORONTO, May 20.—The question which is being discussed in political circles in Toronto, is the probable elevation of A. G. MacKay, leader of the Liberal opposition in the Ontario legislature to a position in the Ottawa cabinet. It is pointed out that Mr. MacKay has been in Ottawa several times lately and has held long conferences with Sir Wilfrid Laurier and his ministers. Before he started on his tour of the province, after the close of the provincial legislature, he consulted the federal leaders and his tour is being made in defence of reciprocity, not provincial issues. o LOOKING FOR MARBLE Representatives of Victoria Syndicate Will Visit Banks Island for Inspection. Members uK Party Are Relighted with the City of Prince Rupert and Its Outlook The arivral in the city this week of a party of men looking over a marble proposition on Banks Island with a view to taking it over, is another indication that this part of the province is very much in the public eye at the present time. The party comprises R. J. Harlow, president, and C. C. Johns, managing director of the Earth Trusts, Limited, of Victoria, and D. Evans, a mining expert of Vancouver. The members of the party are all surprised to find con ditions in Prince Rupert as they are. Thanks to the system of knocking that prevails in the south they came here ready for the most disagreeable weather only to find that when they left Victoria and Vancouver behind they parted company with the wet and cold, ihey arrived here to find continued sunshine and weather conditions ideal. A trip about, the city, where they witnessed the work in progress on the streets, revealed to them the immense possibilities here and it would not be surprising If Instead of investigating a marble proposition alone they look into the question of real estate here. The surprise with which this party of speculators has been seized apon arrival in this city is but the common experience of all those that have visited tbe city this spring. After the reports made for the purpose of injuring the city in the south it is difficult for the visitors who come here to understand that while for the past month the southern cities have been experiencing all kinds of changes in temperature and have been inconvenienced from rainfall that the weather conditions here for nearly two months have been such that workmen have not lost a day on the street work and a continuous period of sunshine has pre- vatled during the whole of thai time. With the developmenl of the trade, the establishing of tourist hotels and the providing of some of the smaller attractions looked for In connection with the tourist trade, this port will undoubtedly become one of the most sought tourlBt centres on the Pacific. It has the natural attractions. Joined with an equable climate there is scenery unparalleled. MASSACRES FEARED Jewish People in Russia are Suspicious That Trouble is Brewing. Authorities Are Not Showing Any Desire to Restrict Those Leading Agitation (Special to The Journal) NEW YORK, May 26. — The American Jewish committee has received a despatch from the Jewish Aid Society of Berlin, on the anti- Jewish agitation in Russia. The message is as follows: "No massacres have broken out yet, but the open and unrestricted preparations being made for them in tbe usual manner in Kiev and Besarabia give occasion for the gravest apprehensions that they may break out any time. The authorities are not showing any desire to restrict the activities of the black two hundred who are clearly exciting tbe populace to renewed massacres.' o HIGH CLASS CONCERT Overseas Club Gave Enjoyable Entertainment to Their Friends. Good Musical Numbers and Other Features Put on Ilefore Crowded House *..*......... DIAZ RESIGNS (Special to The Journal) * MEXICO CITY, May 26.— * President Diaz, in a letter read * in the chamber of deputies yes- * terday, resigned the presidency * of Mexico. The resignation was * accepted. The resignation of * Vice President Corral, now In * France, was also accepted. * The concert given by the Overseas Club on the evening of May 24 in the Empress Thaetre was a grand success in every way. The building was crowded and the concert was in every respect, of a high order. Mayor Manson prosided and in his introductory remarks referred to the late Queen Victoria, with whose name the day was connected. He also paid a compliment to the patriotic aims of the Overseas Club and extended a hearty greeting to all strangers in the city, making fitting mention of the Indian bands. The opening number on the program, "The Union Jack," was played by Gray's Orchetra, and two selections from "The Yeomen of the Guard" by a quartette consisting of Miss Nyland, Miss Ellett, Mr. Fletcher and L. Bullock-Webster, were well received. There was a cornet solo by Miss Mabel Gray, a song by Miss Nyland, and Messrs. Davey and Clapperton gave a duet "The Rivals" in splendid form. L. Bullock-Webster, in "The Pirate Bold," rendered his selection in excellent style. The Indian club swinging by Mr. Porter, of the fire department, was a good feature of the entertainment. F. S. Ellis was beard in a musical monologue, and .Miss Ethel Gray and .1. S. Russell in a duet. eMiss Grant's recitation, "Young Lochinvar," was well received. The Highland Fling was danced by Ethel Gray, and there were songs by Mr. Fletcher and James Russell. The singing of the little Gray girls was one of the most entertaining parts of the programme. The cups won by the Kincolith and Skidegate bands In the afternoon, were presented during the evening, and a short address given by .1. F Macdonald, president of the Overseas Club. Clergymen Returning Rev. Charles It. Sing, who has been in attendance at the British Columbia Conference of the Methodist Church in Vancouver, is ex- pected home on the Prince George tomorrow. He will occupy the pulpit on Sunday, preaching in the morning at 11 o'clock on "Fresh Orders," and in the evening on "Impressions of a British Columbia Conference." The sermons, in view of the fact that Mr. Sing has been in touch with the governing body of the church for the past few weeks, should be of especial interest. o COURT SITTING CARPENTERS' CHALLENGE Heady to Meet a Tug-of-War Team from Any Other Organized Body in the City The carpenters of the city believe they have within their ranks a body of men that are superior in a tug of war to the representatives of any other organization. They are willing, therefore, to test their strength and have intimated their readiness to receive challenges from any other organized body of men in the city, the match to be held on July 1 . o Hospital Meeting The hospital board is holding a meeting in the police court room this afternoon for the transaction of general business. Will Increase Salary As a result of a special committee meeting of the city council on Tuesday night, it was decided to Increase the salary of S. Lucas to $200 a month. The remainder of the minority report was adopted and a recommendation will be made to this effect. VOTE DOWN COUNCIL Imperial Conference Does Not Proposal of Sir Joseph Ward.

Bartlett Addressed Gathering in Methodist Church Last Night SENSATIONAL CHARGE Prominent Men in Victoria are to be Made to Answer in Court. Rev. S. T. Bartlett, general secretary of Sunday Schools and Epworth Leagues In the Methodist Church, addressed a meeting last evening. Mr. Bartlett came west to attend the conference of the Methodist Church in Vancouver. He was induced while on the coast to pay a visit to the north, but through some misun dersfanding reached here a week earlier than had been arranged by Rev. Mr. Sing ,so that arrangements had to be hurried. In consequence the attendance last, evening was not very large. Mr. Bartlett reached the city by launch from Port Simpson, the meeting being a little late in starling owing to his late arrival In the City. Mayor Manson presided, and a short programme of music was given by the choir of the church, The address of Mr. Bartlett was an Interesting and Instructive one. He laid stress upon the work which fell to those who trained tin- young, it was nol possible- tee leiiilil up the best type of anhood by exterior forms. it was necessary to appeal to the in- most heart of the. buy oi- girl and have the teachings of the Bible become a pari of the Itfe.

The principles that were involved In the development of the individual were also applicable to the life of the city and nation. Rev. Mr. Bartlett left this morning for the south by the Prince Rupert. o Social livening A social evening will be given in the Presbyterian Church this evening by the members of Mrs. D. McLeod s Sunday School class. A programme will be presented and re- frehmeiiLs served. The entertainment is free and Is Intended to bring all who attend church together for a social evening. It Is Alleged That They Had Goods stolen from Navy in Possession Charles J. V. Spratt, president of the Victoria Machinery Depot, William Houston and Oliver Richards, employees of the Victoria Machinery Depot, and John Day, saloon keeper Of Esquimau, have been charged at Victoria with retaining in their possession certain goods the property of the Admiralty, knowing them to have been stolen. The charges have beeu adjourned for one week. The accused were arrested as the result of inquiries that have been going on for some time past in regard to goods missing from the Admiralty stores, and |n connection with which a customs inquiry was held at which the accused Sprat and Day deposited cheques of $1,000 with Collector Newbury by way of fine, to be reclaimed if and when they were able to prove that the goods in their possession were not stolen property. Search warrants were operated on the premises of the Victoria Machinery Depot and the premises of the accused Day at Esquimalt and the articles named in the four informations were found there. The accused were admitted to bail immediately after arrest. The information was laid on the order of Commander Vivian, senior Imperial officer at the Esquimalt naval station, and the evidence against the men charged is being tabulated by Lieutenant Hodgson, oi H. M. S. Egeria. C. J. V. Spratt and William Houston were jointly charged with unlawfully retaining in their possession certain public, stores, seven drums of paint valued at $15, belonging to the Admiralty, and knowing them to have been obtained by theft. William Houston was singly charged that on January 2", last he had received into his possession copper and rubber valued at $300, knowing it to have been obtained by theft from the navy yard, by a former employee. The charge against Oliver Richards is that in October last year be had in his possession goods stolen from the navy yard, paint and rubber, valued at $2»0, knowing them to have been stolen. The charge against Day is that he retained in his possession paint and candles to the value of $425, knowing the same to have been obtained by theft. The accused were not asked to plead and their cases were set ever for one week at their own request C. J. V. Spratt, W. Houston aud O Richards were allowed bail in $2.n(Mi each.

REACHING FOR NORTH Vancouver Sees Need of Getting Railway Connection With Peace River District. City Is Aroused Over the ('banccs for Trade with New British Columbia The way in which other cities, like Vancouver, view the possibilities of trade with the territory in the northern part of the province of Britisii Columbia, is shown in a clear way by the following, taken from an account of a meeting held in the city of Vancouver a few days ago: ■It is of paramount importance that immediate steps be taken to Impress upon the provincial government the necessity of providing, or assisting to provide, a railway from the coast cities to northern Britisii Columbia and the Peace River country, and that the secretary write to the Board of Trade asking the board to call, at an early date, a public meeting under the auspices of the Board of Trade and the Tourist Association to discuss the proposed railroad to the Peace River country." The above was the resolution passed at a meeting of local business men, held at the Board of Trade offices, to consider the question of railway communication with the Peace River country, and the advisability of building a railroad to central British Columbia. Mr. Ewing Buchan was in the chair, and Mr. D. G. Williams was elected secretary. The chairman explained that the meeting was called to discuss informally the need and benefits to be derived from a railroad to the Peace River country and called on Mr. vV, H. Malkin to address the meeting. Mr. Malkin stated that Vancouver wholesale trade was being limited by present transportation rates as railroads wanted the long haul, and also that as soon as the Grand Trunk Pacific reached Tete Jaune Cache, Edmonton would supply all the Fort George country, and even Cariboo, and " that Vancouver would suffer considerably by this curtailment of its' commerce. Mr. D. G. Williams said he understood the meeting was to consider the usefulness of a railroad built north would do to Vancouver, irrespective of by whom it might be built. They wanted the road because it would open an immensely rich territory benefiting the merchants and all interested in Vancouver; also that it would build up the city, increase commerce, and ensure stability of value to real estate in the city. Territory similar to the Peace River, the Province of Tobolsk in Siberia, had a population of nearly 2,000,000 people, and produced over 30,000,000 bushels of grain in 1901; had 4,ODD,000 bead of cattle, and exported about 20,000,000 pounds of butter every year. The Peace River has betterd climate and could do better. Mr, A. O. McCandless mentioned as showing the popularity of tlie north that, there were five propositions now before the government. They had no trade south, very little west and Hie railways by their freight rates, cut Vancouver off from a great deal of what they were entitled to from the east. They should get the northern trade, as they were entitled to it. It was the natural outlet, for central British Columbia and a railroad was tho only means which could secure its trade, lion. Carter-Cotton expressed the opinion that a railroad north would do Vancouver ten times more good than the Canadian Northern. When he visited the. north It. was a wonderful revelation both to himself and to the Premier. Mr. A. li. Brsklne suited that after this year the Cariboo trade would be cut off from Vancouver. Self-preservation, therefore, compelled Vancouver to get a railroad to the Peace River country. mum salaries of railway and mall clerks to $500 and $1,400 respectively. The present minimum is $400 and the maximum is $1,200. An amendment to the civil service act will change the classification of dries in the city post office, of post office Inspectors, office of superintendent of railway mails and in money exchange offices by abolishing stampers and sorters class and fourth class clerkships and substitute therefor third class clerkships ranging from $500 to $1,000 and divided into two classes to be known as third class A and B. It Is also proposed to abolish junior and second class clerkships and substitute classes A and B of the second class, increasing the maxi- mnra of the class formerly known as junior second to $1,200 and increasing Hie maximum of the former senior second class to $1,400. First class clerkships will be divided into two divisions A and B with salaries of $1,800 and $1,600 respectively. Minimum salaries of first class clerkships will be Increased from $1,200 to $1,400 and a new class of clerks to be known as chief clerks, will be created in city post offices subject to certain restrictions. The amendments to the act are also proposed to improve the position of office superintendents in city offices and changing what was formerly a fixed salary of $1,800 to a minimum of $1,800 and a maximum of $2,500. Mr. Patterson's proposed amend- ent to the civil service act provides for a new schedule which gives a number of increases, including the following: Inspector of ports $700; assistant inspectors, $200; chief clerks, $100; surveyors, $400; assistant surveyors, etc., $1,400; Dominion appraisers, $500; appraisers, $400; assistant appraisers, $100; gangers, $400; senior clerks, $400; packers and messengers, $200. o INTERESTS MAY MERGE Humors Are Afloat of Gigantic Corporation to Control Many Railway Enterprises INCREASED SALARIES Messrs. Patterson and Lemieux An. nounre Proposed Increase in Salaries in Their Departments Substantial increases in the salaries of certain officials In the customs and post, office departments are given notice of by Messrs. Patterson and Lemieux. Mr. Lemieux gives notice that it Is expedient to amend the post office act by providing for an annual increase of the salaries of the superintendents of city post offices until a maximum of $2,500 is reached. The present, maximum is $1,800. Also to raise the minimum and niaxi- For some time past rumors have been afloat of a controplated gigantic merger of all the Mackenzie & Mann interests outside of the Canadian Northern Railway. These rumors have received partial confirmation by a story which appears in the Toronto News to the effect that when Mr. W. H. Macrae, general manager or the Toronto Electric Light Company, returns from England about the beginning of next month arrangements will he pushed forward at once to amalgamate all the Mackenzie & Mann railway and light; and power interests of Toronto and vicinity. This of itself would mean the formation of a powerful company, but the project, as it has been talked about among men interested in large financial affairs, is much wider. The story going is to the effect that an immense corporation Is to be formed, including the Mackenzie & Mann properties, not onl yin Toronto, but also in the Maritime provinces, in British Columbia, in Mexico and elsewhere. In fact, it would include everything with which these two eminent financiers are connected except the sole, though important exception of their railway projects. The scheme would be capitalized at several millions, and a limited amount, of the stock would be offered to the public. One of the chief objects of this great merger would be to relieve Mackenzie & Mann from the labor involved in the personal supervision of so many enterprises. The present illness of Sir Donald Mann, making it. necessary for him to take a long ri'st, is said to have had the effect of hurrying this project forward, which has been before the minds of the two partners for u considerable time-. Willi thelrd other business thus placed where it. would give them comparatively little trouble, Mackenzie & Mann would be able to devote themselves almost wholly lo the completion of their scheme which has been the darling ambition of their lives—the construction and ownership of a railway from the Atlantic to the Pacific. The informant of the Toronto News, who Is stated to be one of the directors of the Toronto Electric Light Company, says: "You are free to state that while there is little new in the Toronto electric light situation at the moment, the return of Sir William and Mr. Macrae will probably provide a somewhat sensational Item. It is fully certain that a merger of the Toronto Electric Light Company, Toronto Railway Company, the various radial systems, and the Elec- trie-al Development Company, all controlled by Mackenzie & Mann money, is to be effected.

PRINCE RUPERT JOURNAL 3tffltfflKIKimi» immwmwk I GRAND TRUNK PACIF TOWNSITE ELLISON The only Main Line Town- site in British Columbia in which the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway Company has announced its joint ownership. ELLISON w w 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 ■ STUDY 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 hub ®f 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 doing when they put their official stamp oh Ellison. STUDY THAT MAP.—I desire to say to all parties who are talking townsites in tbe vicinity oi Skeeua River and the Bulkley Valley that 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, probably towns at the ends of branch lines made to serve the mines and tbe 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. STUDY 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 do as much for townsites 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 follow the 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 summer. The average promoter is full of hurrah and red fire. He must enthuse investors of the mail order class 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. o STUDY THAT MAP.—If you want to join that great army of investors-at-long-range, 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. STUDY THAT MAP.—It is not likely the Grand Trunk Pacific will have any other townsite in British Columbia for sale this year. The officials of the company state that the company is not interested in any townsite in the Hazelton district with the exception of ELLISON. ELLISON is on the bank of the Skeena at its confluence with the Bulkley. 'Sou may change railway surveys; you may change the location of 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 by rail and 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 rails and navigation meet. 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 yZoO for corners. Terms—10 per cent discount for cash, or 10 per cent down and the balance on easy terms; no interest. ra LOTS IN ELLISON TOWNSITE AND ROGERS ADDITION FOR SALE PRINCE RUPERT British Columbia ^WWWWWWWM! JEREMIAH H. KUGLER Offices-2nd Avenue Facing Grand Trunk Terminal IWWWWWWWWI^ DIED ON THE TRAIL Additional Details Connected With the Death of R.N.W.M.P. Party. How the Members Fought Bravely in the North to Reach Destination Additional details of the tragedy of Inspector Fitzgerald and tliree companions of the Northwest Mounted Police, who lost their lives last winter on a patrol between Fort Macpberson and Dawson, are furnished by an official report of Corporal Dempster, who was in charge of a searching party sent out from Dawson. He tells the story of the tinding of the remains of tlie ill- fated party and the melancholy diary of Fitzgerald. This has already been told, but Corporal Dempster's report sheds further light upon tlie causes of the disaster and supplies records which add to the tragic nature of the unfortunate enterprise. From the report it would appear that the cause of the catastrophe was the fact that Fitzgerald had relied upon Constable Carter as a guide, but that the latter had failed to find the way to the principal pass en route. The last entry In Inspector Fitzgerald's diary was evidently made while the party was proceeding down the trail to Peel River. Corporal Dempster, of the relief party, says at that point he commenced to fear the worst on account of the camps that Fitzgerald's patrol had made on their retreat being so close together. On March 21, about three miles below the portage on the Peel River, he found the bodies of Constables Kinney and Taylor. There was a camp kettle full of moose hide cut nto small pieces which had been boiled for soup. The two men lay side by side, the fire being at their feet, and each lay on his back. Dempster's report continues: "They had three Alaska sleeping bags, one under and two over them. Constable Taylor evidently committed suicide by blowing the top of his head off. It is quite probable that he had become insane with the terrible hardships which he had undergone. It seems to me that Inspector Fitzgerald had concluded that these men were too weak to travel; that he left all equipment they had with them and with Carter started towards Fort Macpherson, with the hope of getting relief to send back. This they failed to accomplish. "About ten miles further on he and Carter yielded up their lives. Carter succumbed first, and he was laid out by Inspector Fitzgerald, who probably died shortly afterwards." Tne report of Commissioner Perry, who transmitted diaries and records to the mounted police headquarters at Ottawa, concludes that the party had undertaken the trip with light provisions wtih the view of making a rapid passage. He says that Dempster's report shows that the unfortunate men had wasted to shadows. All were powerful young men and in tho best of health and courage when they left on their Ill-fated journey. Colonel Perry comments: "That they should have lost their lives is greatly to be deplored. It is the greatbest tragedy that has occurred In this force during Its existence oi thirty-seven years. Their loss has been felt most keenly by every member of the force, but we cannot but feel a thrill of pride at the endeavor they made to carry out their duty and at their gallant struggle for their lives." • o RACKS TO BE HELD WIDOWS REVENGE Sees Death of Man Who Caused Exe rution of Husband and Two Sons VICTORIA—The attempt being made by the city of Victoria to prevent the forthcoming race meet promoted by the Country Club, was frustrated when Chief Justice Hunter at Vancouver dismissed the application of City Solicitor F. A. Mc- Diarmid for an injunction restraining the Country Club from holding the seven days' meet. The city based its application on the ground that the club had not complied with the provisions of the bylaw, amended last year, whereunder It is stipulated that the club must make application to the city for a permit before the meet could be held. Mr. McDiarmid argued that the club has not made application for such a permit. The Widow Talamantes, who took the field as a Mexican insurrecto commander after her husband and two sons had been shot as rebels by command of Colonel Chiapas, won in full measure her revenge when the man on whose head she had set the price'of $20,000 gold, was shot to death in her presence. Colonel Chiapas was captured by Mine. Talamantes' Indian soldiers after a desperate ride he had made on a fleet Arabian horse to overtake the command of Colonel Diaz, which had left him behind when Agua Prieta was evacuated. Desperately wounded by bullets through his neck and arm, Colonel Chiapas fell from his horse. Rolling over in pain he looked up straight into the eyes of Widow Talamantes. Whispering a few words into the wounded man's ears that made his pale face blanch whiter still, the Widow Talamantes signalled to her men and turned away. Colonel Chiapas was picked up and carried to a tent. Just as the red rim of the sun appeared over the eastern horizon next morning, a woman's voice gave a sharp command. There was a quick roll of fire from a dozen rifles, and a tottering figure standing on the edge of a newly-made grave, crumpled up, quivered and lay motionless on the edge of the trench. One of the men of the firing squad advanced and turned the body over with his foot, saw that ten of the bullets had found their mark, and tumbled it over into the grave. So the Widow Talamantes took revenge for the slaying of her husband and two sons by Colonel Chiapas of the federal army. The pursuit, capture and execution of Colonel Chiapas is the most dramatis incident of the M xican revolution. FEMININE FANCIES Fashionable women who have delayed ordering their spring and summer supply of tihe puffs, rats, and other mysterious paraphernalia with which woman's natural supply of hair is augmented,, face an embarrassing state of affairs. The reason for this is the strike in Montreal of the workers engaged in the making of switches, transformations, and similar aids to the hair dressers' art. These employees demand an advance in wages and claim that at the rates they are now paid they are not even able to equip themselves with a fair supply of the artificial curls which they turn out In such numbers for their mere fortunate sisters, As this city is the Canadian centre of the artificial hair market, the dearth in the supply of women's most widely used aids to nature is likely to cause general distress unless the in dignation of the feminine public puts an early end to the present contest. Impracticable persons of the male sex have suggested that the present difficulty might be met by using last season's styles, but the horror with which this proposal was received is convincing evidence that if there is anything more useless than a last year's bird nest, it must be last year's rats and curls.

DEVELOPING THE DISTRICT The building up of a stable commercial centre in Prince Rupert necessitates the development of the great empire which must be tributary to this place as a distributing centre. The filling up of the farming section.-, the opening up of the mining camps, the development of the fishing banks and the exploitation of the many other related industries must all be considered in connection with the building of a city here. These are all woven together and the outlying sections are just as essential to the welfare of this place as the area embraced within the bounds of the municipality. Citizens must therefore never forget that the broadest spirit is necessary. They must be ready to lend their aid to the whole of this northern district for all of it must enrich the city of Prince Rupert. The people of the outlying sections must learn to look to the business houses of Prince Rupert to give them the best of service. It is gratifying to know that this exists. Local wholesale dealers have shown a readiness to accommodate the merchants doing business here from outside points in a way that means much to these merchants. This has been in evidence this spring with the opening up of the trade on the Skeena. The storekeepers have found that by dealing In Prince Rupert they have profited far more than is represented alone by the saving in distance They have found that during the earlier weeks of navigation on the river when all are so anxious to get their freight through and when the shipments mean so much, the local wholesalers have personally inter ested themselves in the movement of the freight with good results. As the spring opens up and the representatives of the different propositions which are to have their headquarters in this part of the province continue to arrive it becomes more and more evident that this district is to be the home of very diversified undertakings. Within the past week in addition to those interested in the well-established lines of mining there have been representatives of coal mining companies who have come to open up the measures on the Queen Charlotte Islands, those who are to drill for petroleum on the islands, and those who have in view the developing of marble quarries on an island within easy reach of the city and I hrough which the irade will In the end pass. There is room for the widest and fullest development in this district. It all means Ihe earlier establishment of permanent, business in the city wiih he steadying effect which must go with it. Prince Rupert is not to be a one-industry city. It will have a very wide variety of industries tributary to it either within the bounds of the city or in the area tributary to tho place. Such a condition of affairs is one of the best things that can come to a city. It makes It a centre to be desired by all moneyed Interests and steadies trade to a marked elegree. The time is fast approaching when the city of Prince Rupert will have to take care of a large quota of tourists during the summer months. The equable climate that prevails here with all the attractions that go with a trip into the new north is going to make this place the summer home of thousands for months at a time. It has become popular to knock the climate of the city and there will require to be a systematic move to disabuse the popular idea in this regard. The past two summers following the opening up of the townsite has convinced all who have spent the summers here that in point of climate the city of Prince Rupert is well ahead of the city of Vancouver. Within easy reach of the city are most Interesting points, including runs within full view of the glaciers of Alaska. It will become the outfitting point for the big game hunters who are increasing in number every year. It does not require any particular imagination for one to picture the time in the very near future when the harbor of Prince Rupert will be crowded with yachts and pleasure craft of all kinds which will be needed to afford the visitors the opportunity to see all the attractive water stretches within easy reach. The beauties of the place have but to be enhanced in small measure and the attractions become known in order that the tourist trade may be developed. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * % News of the Province * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * OFFICERS NAMED GRAND FORKS—At the annual meeting and election of officer of the Grand Forks Conservative Association there was a large turnout of members, and the president, F.

His lordship dropped these remarks in the court of his instructions to the grand jury. CITY INSPECTORS VANCOUVER — Beginning with the next school term, following the summer holidays, the public schools of Vancouver will again have an official inspector, under the provincial government. In the last provincial estimates provision has been made for the reinstatetnen tof the position, both in this city and in Victoria. Vancouver and Victoria formerly had inspectors but with the growth of the city nad the appointment of school superintendents the work was included in their department. Now, with the still further growth of the city and the schools, It is found that an Inspector is again necessary. The names of the appointees have not yet been announced. JOURNALISTS TO TOUR VANCOUVER—An invitation has been extended by the Dominion government to a representative group of British newspaper men to visit Canada during the coming summer. They will visit the coast. It is the intention of the government to give the old country newspaper men a right idea of the Dominion, and bring them In contact with Canadians, and by this way obtain first hand the Canadian point of view. This trip should also mean much for the development of a true Imperial feeling. It i sexpected that the result of this trip will mean a crop of articles appearing in August and September, when British politics are tranquil and when there is much space to spare. EXTEND EMPRESS WEALTH OF ORCHARDS The advantages t<> he derived from the fruit growing Industry is something which ai present must appeal to residents of Prince Rupert, In view of the prospects of the Skeena Valley becoming one of the greatest apple centres In the west. It is acknowledged that the farther nortli apples can be grown, the better the character of the fruit. This is true of the fruit growing areas of the east as well as of the west. The Yakima Valley in Washington has only come into prominence in the past few years as a fruit producing district. Yet that valley now is a source of immense wealth to the state. The following press item indicates somewhat the revenue that Is to be derived from a fruit section: "Two thousand cars of apples will be harvested in the Yakima Valley this season, according to a statement received by the Spokane Chamber of Commerce from II. P. James, secretary of the Yakima Commercial Club who compiled tbe figures from reports by growers and inspectors." CIU'RCH MISSION LYTTON—Three clergymen and three laymen, bound for a simple community life, with Qnesnell as their centre, and from which, traveling in pairs, they will cover a circuit of several hundred mi'es in Cariboo and Chilcoten, with probably stations at Barkerville, Soda Creek, Big Creek, Fort George and 150 Mile House, have started on their work. They begin with tent life, will build their own central home, cook their own food and lake an active part with the manual workers among whom their lot is cast, meanwhile teaching and spreading the Divine Message. Canon Brooke, Incumbent for more than a quarter of a century of the beautiful Church of St. John the Divine, Kensington S. W. Lon don, is responsible for the mission aries' advent in British Columbia, and temporarily, for the stipend of the rector-in-charge of St. John's mission to he in Cariboo, the Rev. Thursby Pelbain. St. Stephen's Church, Kensington, has sent another clergyman and St. John's Church, N'ewbery, Berks, yet another. Promises have been made, that, If carried out, by the people of the districts mentioned, will soon put the Cariboo mission on a self-supporting basis. Canon Brooke1, when out In Brilisb Columbia some four years ago, saw the great need of these isolated sections of Cariboo and Chilcole and i learned with regret, that lack of funds hud made it necessary for our own diocese to withdraw workers al ready there. He caught a vision of greater opportunities of usefulness and being, himself, beyond t.he three score years of life, he has sent these young, vjg-oroiia, enthusiastic men to work out his desire for him under the jurisdiction of the Right Rev Bishop De Pencier. GRAND JURY'S 1)1 TIES NEW WESTMINSTER — When the Spring Assizes for New Westminster opened, with Mr. Justice Clement presiding, the feature was the departure of his lordship from established custom In this province and in British practice In bis instruction lo the grand jury. Mr. Justice Clement, In brief, informed the grand jury that such a body's Inspection of jals, etc., was an archaic duty that had outlived its usefulness and that much better results VICTORIA—R. Marpole, chief executive of the Canadian Pacific Railway in the west, has returned from Montreal with the information that the Empress hotel is to be extended at once by the addition of a new wing to be built on the foundations already laid at the southeast corner of the building, to cost between $175,000 and $200,000 Mr. Marpole went east to discuss the annual appropriations for the year of the Canadian Pacific Railway in the west, with Sir Thomas Shaughnessy, and the fact that a considerable sum of money would be spent here was foreshadowed by William Whyte, first vice-president of the system, while here. On the floor adjoining the palm room, it is proposed to have a banqueting and a ballroom to accommodate 450 people. The plans of the addition, including the new feature, provide for six stories, containing 70 bedrooms and writing and reception rooms, and when complete the hotel will have an accommodation capacity og 350 bedrooms. The architecture will be the same as the present building. *. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * I I Remember *> I That we * | Import !

LAW OF ALIENS VICTORIA—The law prohibiting the admission of undesirable aliens into Canada has had a new Interpretation put upon it hy the immigration officials, which if enforced will make the Dominion a good place for crooks who manage to make their get-away. A good illustration Of the manner in which this will work out is offered by the case of Frank Kroll, late an employee of the city, who stole a quantity of household furniture which he disposed of, and tied to Seattle with the proceeds of his crime. Ho was arrested by tbe Seattle police at the request of the local police, who proceeded to arrange for bis return. The immigration service here stepped in, however, and declared that Kroll, as an undesirable alien, will not be permitted to land on Canadian soil, which has the effect of completely blocking all chance of bringing Kroll to trial. This Is the first time such a construction has been put on the regulations, and the police are asking if the ruling will be enforced In all cases. o BUTTONS AS COINS Almost Anything Was Money In Canada Once—Expense in Eliminating American Silver In a lecture at the Canadian Insti- tue, Toronto, on "The History of Canadian Metallic Currency," Prof. Adam Shortt of the Civil Service Commission, gave some interesting information. Mr. J. B. Tyrell, president of the society, was In the chair. Copper coinage, Prof. Shortt said, was very meagre In Canada In 1S25, and even brass buttons were recog- * Telephone 30 Third Arenue * ^*.J,^,eJ..5,4»^,^.^..:.<«<.<.^.<.^»<.^t^»<»<.4"J-4»^4 nized as tender. In fact so many scraps of value were used as coppers that it became an intolerable nuisance, and in 1830 a number of Canadian banks issued copper bank tokens. About this time $10,000 of American five and ten-cent pieces were brought into Canada, and this no doubt helped to popularize the American specie. In 1830 and 1S37 the United States introduced the gold dollar, and issued shin plasters at 25, 20 and 10 cents, and even as low as two cents. In lower Canada at this time French money was most commonly uesd, while in Upper Canada English currency predominated. No Canadian silver money had been issued, and money from all parts of the world was freely circulated throughout the Dominion, so that now, the speaker said, Canada is recognized as the richest collection ground in the world for old coins. This mixture of the money of so many different countries became objectionable, and an agitation was started for the use of one kind. The British Government advocated the adoption of English money but Canada thought the American system the best. This carried alarm In England, as it was thought that the adoption by Canada of the American system would ultimately lead to annexation with the United States. At last, through the efforts of Sir Francis Hincks, one of the leading Canadian statesmen of the day, the British Government became convinced that the decimal system would be suited for Canada, but desired to have British coins made in small amounts instead of Canada adoptln gthe American standard. January 4, 1854, marks the day when Canada received her first consignment of decimal coinage from the British mint. It consisted of ,.100,000 in twenty-cent pieces, $75,- 000 in ten-cent pieces and $50,000 In one-cent pieces. Some surprise was expressed that no twenty-five cent coin was issued, but the British shilling was Intended to take Its place, and this required the shilling to be somewhat overrated. Great quantities of American silver money had been sent into Canada to bu supplleys for the Civil War and In 1870 the Canadian Govern- DURESCO The King of Water Paints FIRST IN THE FIELD: FOREMOST EVER SINGE :SOLE AGENTS IN WESTERN CANADA: The Staneland Co.

The making of the Canadian coins became very profitable to the British mint, and Canada was given a share In the profits. At last, however, the Canadian Government came to the conclusion that it would pay Canada lo have a mint of her own, and a mine at Ottawa was established. It was owing to the great profits In making her own silver money that Canada went to such an expense to rid the country of American silver in 1870. B. C. CHAMPION Cable despatches show that Miss Violet Pooley, of Victoria, daughter of Hon. E. C. Pooley, formerly speaker of the Legislature, has done remarkably well in the British National Golf Tournament which has been in progress this week at Port- rush, Ireland. She successfully fought her way Into the fifth round and into the last sixteen players left to compete for the trophy. This Is a highly creditable achievement on the occasion of Miss Pooley's first attempt. She had to meet some of the best lady players In the world, and was only defeated by the redoubtable Miss Thompson. ************************** ISTORAGE!

LOST IN YUKON PRINCE JOHN COMING The new steamer Prince John, formerly the Amethyst, bought by the Grand Trunk Pacific Company for the northern coasting service, left the Clyde on Saturday in command of Captain M. A. Davis, who brought out the steamer Prince Rupert for the company from the yards of the builders, at Newcastle-on-Tyne. It is expected the Prince John will arrive in Victoria by way of the usual coaling ports about the end of July. The steamer will relieve the Prince Albert on the Prince Rupert, Naas, Stewart and Queen Charlotte Island route, and the Prince Albert will be placed in a regular freighting service between Victoria, Vancouver and Prince Rupert. The Prince John was built last year, by Messrs. Scott & Sons, of Bowling, Eng., for Mr. W. Robertson. Her dimensions are: Length, 185 feet; beam, 29.6 feet; depth, 10.9 feet. The gross tonnage is 662 tons, and she has a net register of 446 tons. The new steamer is provided with passenger accommodation and was equipped with wireless telegraphic apparatus before sailing. TREASURE HUNTERS Bound for a treasure hunt in southern seas, the steam schooner Eureka has sailed out of Los Angeles harbor with a picked crew of sixteen men and Captain Burtis at the helm. The announced destination of the vessel is Amapala, Honduras, but the men who make up her crew- say that the helm is set for the coast of Salvador. The sailors were picked for strength and courage and those who admitted they might be afraid of risking their lives were excused from signing. They receive 20 per cent more than the usual seamen's wage. The vessel was outfitted by J. C. Mellon, a Los Angeles capitalist, and two others. TO BUILD NAVY Before leaving for London Hon. L. P. Brodeur, minister of marine, stated that there was a possibility of Montreal being selected as the site for the building of the ships for the Canadian navy. "If," he said, "a responsible firm would establish there, which would take on the building of the necessary ships there could be reason why they should not be built in Montreal." Montreal is to have a drydock, with u lifting capacity of 25,000 tons. The cost of the dock will be $3,500,000. The subsidy to be paid to the contracting firm by the Dominion Government will be at the rate of 3% per cent for 38 years. The contract for building the dry- dock has been awarded to Messrs. Vickers Son & Maxim. From Mr. Brodeur's statements it The launch Christine, a 15-horse- power gasoline craft, with five tons of provisions, mostly vegetables and fruit, was wrecked in the Thirty- mile River, on Thursday, the 11th, the two men who owned and manned her, J. J. Hovd, and Fred F. Hess, both of Tacoma, Wash., barely escaping with their lives. The boat was sidewise In the current when her keel struck a rock, the water being very low, and being top-heavy with cargo, she upset and sank. The men escaped by swimming to the shore and later managed to rescue a small portion of the cargo, selling the salvage for $100 to some wood cutter on the river and coming back to this place. Heartsick and discouraged, the unfortunate men have left for their homes In Taooma. The boat and cargo were both shipped to this place from oma a niedldveer cmfw v?withggd Tacoma and, delivered in the north, were worth between $3,000 and $4,000. HENRIETTE IN The Grand Trunk Pacific freight steamer Henriette, Captain Buck- holtz, reached port last evening from the south with a full cargo. About half of it is for Foley, Welch and Stewart. The captain reports good weather all the way north. o INDIANS FOR CORONATION Four Chiefs from British Columbia Coast Cities Have Left for London to See Ceremony Four Indian chiefs representing the natives of the province left Vancouver a few days ago for the east They will stop at Ottawa for a few days, and then go to London for the Coronation.

PURLIC NOTICE At tile Festival of Empire in London, Scenes Connected with the Rising May Be Put on Although the announcement has not yet been made public, I am able to state that the request will shortly be made through the Canadian committee of the Festival of Empire, for tlie participation in the festival of that fine body of veterans who helped to quell the Riel regelllon in 1885, says a London correspondent. "The roll call of that gallant band has sadly diminished," said the Canadian member of the committee, who suggested the Idea, "but the surviving members of those vigorous fighters from six provinces will make a fairly strong muster, if we can Induce them to come. Of course their positions are now far different from that In the days of Louis Rlel; then they were ranchers, now many of them are captains of Industrial armies, and others are prominent In the political and financial world. The Canadian regiments who fought the campaign were the Winnipeg Rifles, Winnipeg Light Infantry, Queen's Own Rifles, Montreal Garrison Artillery, Montreal Royal Carbineers, the Mldlanders, Royal Grenadiers, York and Slmcoe Battalion, London Fusileers, Quebec Voltigeurs, Halifax Fusiliers and the Royal Northwest Mounted Police. "One of the really remarkable things about the festival is the willingness of prominent Canadians to take active part in the Canadian scenes. Our appeal for help Ip this respect has elicited a magnificent response and many men prominent in public life and women of the proudest Canadian families will depict to a world-wide British audience the hardships suffered by the United Empire loyalists over two hundred years ago.

Every- ngly of her cour- .,: :>. and perhaps less her narrowness of A woman in authority has to depend largely on those about her; she cannot, even if she wanted, break through the golden ring of courtiers. That gives well- organized forces their chance, as against the scattered public opinion of a people, and the church and the priests got an undue hand of favors. The iron rule of Senhor Franca, who is now in retreat in Spain, also left its dent on public opinion, and so the gulf between tho royal house of Braganza and Portugal widened until they simply fell away from each other. "Carried—Unanimously!" "Everybody wanted the republic, and it. came," said an onlooking authority; "the Braganzas simply toppled over like a wornout house of cards. The hour of full ripeness arrived,'and it disappeared; in fact, almost ran away. There was no great, active force behind the revolution, I mean no organization worth talking about—just this ripeness of which I have spoken. It succeeded in itself, because there was nobody to say nay. Now, if Dom Carlos had been alive, or if there had been a bold descent of the monarchists from the north, the republic would probably not have come into being. Young King Manuel could give no lead to his cause, his uncle, Dom Alfonso, succeeded in giving none, and ladies, royal or not, are pretty helpless when guns begin to shoot. Yes, a grown-up strong king or a strong lead, and the Braganzas might still be In their palaces at Lisbon. One man alone, Pavia Cou- eeiro, who, please note, is English on his mother's side, made a royal .-land for the royal house, and today, an exile in Spain, he has the respect of all Portugal for his courage. If he were to lead an counter revolt one clay there might be trouble, be- cause he stands for courage and character, and because, as always happens, shortcomings have accumulated against the government in office. But he is loo patriotic a Portuguese to engineer trouble for his country, even if he does not agree with events." The Boy King It comes to this that, overwhelmingly, the Portuguese, who are a democratic people by instint and usage, have accepted the republican system of government, and that even the dissentients are disposed to acquiesce, if affairs go well—acquiesce assuredly to the extent of not calling back the Braganzas. "Apparently," a very capable and Intimate observer said, "the situation Is going to resolve itself Into a financial problem. Continued bad weather has spoiled the prospects of the vintage and of the wheat harvest, two of the main standbys of Portugal. The financial situation was sufficiently Involved without this, as the expenses of the country under ihe new order of government have Increased rather than decreased, while the sources of revenue, us compared with previous years, have not Increased. There Is no doubt that a great deal of dissatisfaction with the government exists, owing to the continuation of what In effect, is a dictatorship and the delay In holding th,. elections, which are now fixed for May 28. It is t.o be feared that when they do take place they will he no freer, from tlie people's point of view, than elections held under tin- monarchy were. It is impossible, with the treason decree, for any monarchist to make any sort of propaganda In support or his views and candidature. He can onl ystand as an Independent candidate, which means the elimination from the contest of the monarchical Idea altogether. So far as one can make out, the aim of the existing government is to crush all opposi tion, and that makes it, in essence, an absolute despotism. It won i have anything against its views, and a groat many monarchists have left the country. The government has not. 1 judge, been afraid of their conspiring against the republic, but has wished to remove their influence from the country during the elections In the majority of instances they have not actually been expelled, but they have been told that if they remained in Portugal the authorities eeeulel not be responsible for their safety. This, of course, has resulted in tlfb withdrawal of a good deal of money from iho country, and thai is being felt ley the shopkecping i-lassos. The Monarchist Position "As to the prospects of a counter revolution," this English observer of men and affairs in the new Portugal, went on, "I think it quite possible that something may be attempted, Tho monarchists have money behind them, but it is more difficult f.or them to organize or combine. Unless the bulk of the army is prepared to join them—at any rate, the artillery—their chance of success is poor. Coming to another point it should be said that the feeling of the Republican government towards Great Britain is very friendly. It is an earnest of this that preliminary steps are being taken 'o negotiate a new commercial treaty between the two countries, a thing which is badly needed. As may be remembered the old treaty of 1842 was denounced by Portugal a number of years ago when England issued an ultimatum in reference to a matter of serious difference in Africa; denounced by an angry Portugal, which today, as a republic, is wishful of a new commercial treaty, to fill the vacant place. Also it is significant of the relationship between English and Portuguese interests that in Portugal steps are being taken for the establishment of a British Chamber of Commerce. Those particular evidences of Anglo-Portuguese good will and mutual interest are both acceptable and hopeful and on the subject of the larger outlook I have only a single word to add. Should the present regime in Portugal fail, owing to its difficulties of finance, such might result in some form of inter- national intervention, which, from the British point of view, is Io be deprecated as likely to lead to European complications of a rather serious nature." This particular summing up of the situation in Portugal is given for its conciseness and grip. The truth is that a vague uncertainty, approaching almost anxiety, exists in Portugal. Something is going to happen! Something is actually happening! Certainly something must happen one day before long. The average man and woman is in a state of exclamation, yet the exclamation lis not uttered out aloud in public places. There is constraint, affairs have not found a stable resting place, the political welkin trembles a litte. Outwardly busy Oporto and beautiful Lisbon are as peaceful and settled as you like. A warship lies near the mouth of the Douro, but the government only sent it to greet the loyal citizens of Oporto! The Avenida da Liberdale of Lisbon is alive of an afternoon with folk taking the sun and air, with carriages and an occasional motor car. On her historic hills Lisbon sits smiling as she has smiled since the Romans and the Moors were there. Peace, perfect peace, peace and the beauty of early summer sits enthroned, but on the English steamer you see charming Portuguese people who are going to England because it is such a change, you know—and for the Coronation! Yes, the omens are whispering behind the daylight in Portugal! whispering that no man— not even Women, with their further- flung instinct—can take the precise measure of the hour and the day. No Millenium Yet Perhaps all this was inevitable where you have a swift passage— revolution on velvet as it was—from a monarchy, ancient and proud, to a democracy which has ripened beside ind outside that monarchy. The millenium was to come with a republic, and it still hesitates to possess the banks of the Tagus. There were promises—and they have been getting home to roost. "Baca !iau," the dried cod fish, which is a staple diet In poorer Portugal, was to be cheaper. It is fished for in the seas of "Norroway over the faem," and elsewhere by the hardy Portuguese fishermen, but It has not. yet fallen in price. Are wine and bread cheaper? You cannot work miracles in a brief six months, but a simple people ask Anheuser-Busch's jUDWEM Budweiser Appeals to people of discriminating taste because of its superb Quality and Purity—no matter if you drink it in Canada or in its St. Louis home town— it always has the same snappy flavor—its in a class by itself. Bottled only at the Anheuser-Busch Brewery «*. ST. LOUIS, MO. U. S. A. NORTHERN BRITISH COLUMBIA LIQUOR CO., LTD., PRINCE RUPERT, B.C. why you cannot. "All, yes," said Portuguese women, "some of our husbands may die in bringing the glorious revolution, but those of us left widows will at least have pensions as large as our husband's earnings were." The working week In Portugal has been shortened, shortened, rightly shortened, by law to six days, for does the Bible, which is the first and last teacher of political economy, not declare, "Six days shalt thou labor?" Still, the simple Portuguese worker is beginning to say, "Yes, but I am making much less, and it costs me no less to support my wife and family. W have a Sunday rest, which formerly we hadn't, but how to make ends meet?" I heard of a sailor man of the navy who harangued an audience in one of Lisbon's squares, saying, "I was to get better pay when the republic came. The republic has been here for months, but no better pay. What of that?" Expectation, Realization Performance is knocking at the republican door, demanding that all promises made, or fancied by a plain folk to have been made, shall be redeemed In hard fact—yea, in meat and drink. Time is needed for progress, even in the little things of a nation; time, understanding, forbearance and co-operation. There was the extravagance of a monarchy to support, and the repjublic would get rid of that. Now, ministers ride in the royal motor cars, as why should they not, because to busy men that means a gaining of time. The holdin gof more than one public- office by a man was to be abolished, but lo and behold, the salary attached to the average Portuguese public office is so small that it won't keep a capable man in being, and the capable men must be continued anyhow if the machine of state is going lo work satisfactorily. Portugal is a study in anticipation and realization, with an entirely honest, well-meaning government struggling to reconcile the two. Everybody says the republican cabinet is well-meaning, correct in its ways and means, but nearly everybody adds that its task is positively gigantic. Can it solve that task— solve it in time? EXTENDING INTERCOLONIAL Proposals Made by the Minister of Railways for Increasing Mileage George P. Graham has introduced a resolution providing for the extension of the Intercolonial Railway system by lease under the terms of the recent legislation of thirteen lines of railway In the maritime provinces which become branch lines of the I. C. R., and in consequence a part of the government system. The railways it Is proposed to lease are the Valery property of the Arcadia Coal Company, Limited, extending from New Glasgow to Thoburii, N. S. The Oriental Railway, extending from Matapadia to Paspediac. The Hampton and St. Martin's Railway, extending from Hamilton to St. Martin's. The A'bert Railway, extending from Salisbury to Albert. The Moncton and Buctouche Railway, extending from Moncton to Bo- touohe. The Carquett Railway and Ihe Gulf Shore Railway, together extending from Bathurst to Arcadia. The York and Carleton Railway, extending from Cross Creek. The Intercolonial Railway, extending from Campbellton to the St. John Valley at St. Leonard. The Temiscouata Railway, extending from Point Tupper to St. Peters, a distance of about thirty miles. The Temiscouata Railway, extending from River du Loup to Connors. The New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island railway, extending from Sackville Junction to Cape Tor- mentine. The Elgin and Havelock Railway, extending from Elgin to Havelock. The Kent Northern Railway, extending from Kent Junction to Rich- ibuctoti. The railways are to be leased upon terms and conditions to be approved by the government railways managing board, the value of the railways to be fixed by the judge of the exchequer court, based upon the report ofthe chief engineer of the government system of railways. The amount of the rental to be paid will not exceed for the first five years of the lease three per cent of the value fixed; for second five years three and one-half per cent, and thereafter four per cent. The resolution does not. bind the government to lease railways, but makes provision for so doing. APPLICATION FOR LIQUOR LICENSE TAKE NOTICE that I, Austin M Brown, of the City of rt'ince Rupert B.

PRINCE RUPERT JOURNAL TO DEVELOP COAL Very Active Steps to be Taken in the Northern Interior to Open Up Nines. Considerable Money Is to Be Spent There This Season by Interested Company The announcement of plans by the British Columbia. Anthracite Coal Company for the development of their vast coal measures at Groundhog Mountain, on the upper Skeena, is a complete surprise to even those who were expecting a summer of great activity, says the Omineca Herald. No less than $100,000 will be spent by this company this year. Fifty thousand dollars is to go toward proving the worth and extent of the coal seams and the balance In railway surveys and exploratory- work. The company owns the charter for the Naas and Skeena Rivers Railway Company, granted at the last session of the legislative assembly, and three survey parties are to take the field about June. A pack train of about sixty or seventy anomals will be kept busy packing supplies from Hazelton, which will be the outfitting point for all operations except the one survey part ywhich will work inland from a point in. the vicinity of the mouth of Naas River. Leon Benoit, of Winnipeg, is the moving spirit in this new and vast enterprise and will be remembered by most local people through his viBit here last summer. The expenditure of this huge sum this year and other huge sums for several years to come, for all of which this will be the outfitting point, means much in itself, but little as compared with the great quickening it will give the country of the upper Skeena, where It is now a foregone conclusion a railway is shortly to be built. R. C. Campbell-Johnson, mining engineer for the company, will arrive in Hazelton in a short time to spent the summer in the coal fields. He investigated the properties in the first instance for the holders. IN THE OMINECA Manager of Syndicate Conducting Operations ill the Nortli Tells of Conditions H. E. Bodine, manager for a syndicate which has been conducting operations in the pracer country on Omineca River for two years, was in town this week and gave the following interesting account of the progress of work to date, says the Omineca Herald. "We have drilled sufficient holes to warrant putting in one dredge. This season will finish the drilling of the upper part of Silver Creek. Then we will drill on the south fork where we have two miles of leases on Silver Creek and Dream Creek. We will also drill on Tom Creek for the purpose of ascertaining the whereabouts of a channel running into the hill at the Tom Creek cabin where work was left off by James J. May, in view of installing a hydraulic plant. "Last year we drilled on Kenny Creek from the first lake down to its confluence with Silver Creek and found an encouraging prospect down to the depth -of sixty-two feet. We have drilled one mile of Silver Creek, including the south fork, which proved to have enough values to warrant dredging operations when transportation facilities are more favorable. ••Under present conditions — we are using an Empire drill which gives excellent results—we are removing all element of chance from the results obtained. Just so much core is taken out and there is no chance for water to wash additional values Into the core and there is no chance for any value to get away. It is a straight business proposition. When we are through drilling a block of ground we know the depth of gravel and what it contains. We also know what It will cost to work the ground. "Although favorable propositions have been uncovered on Silver Creek by drilling, it is not a poor man's proposition. It requires plenty of capital as the ground now being drilled is proving deeper than was expected by the old-time prospectors, so there is no encouragement, for a poor man to come into the country." Mr. Bodine and his party came up the river last March, bringing the core drill and outfit by dog team. One drill was taken in last year by way of Stuart Lake, but consldera- ARE TRUE DIAMONDS Expert Passes Upon the Specimens Found in British Columbia Rocks. He Anticipates a Decided Rush When the Full Value Is Realized by Miners "The Canadian diamond has been tested by the greatest gem experts in the world and pronounced equal in quality to the famous product of South Africa," says R. A. A. Johnston, mineralogist and curator of the geological survey, at Ottawa. In January last diamonds were discovered in the Olivene Mountains, in cue Tulameen country. This was the first discovery of the kind made in Canada, and Mr. Johnston noturally became greatly interested, and sent for specimens of the glittering gems. The discovery soon became noised about, and other mineralogists in various parts of the world also became Interested. Among those in whom the discovery awakened a keen interest was Dr. Kunz, the Tiffany gem expert and one of the foremost American authorities on precious stones. He wrote Mr. Johnston from New York and asked him to send specimens of the British Columbia diamonds for the purpose of having them tested. Instead of sending specimens, Mr. Johnston went to New York himself and took a quantity of the gems with him. "Dr. Kunz and others were greatly surprised at the beauty of the Canadian diamond, and they are now enthusiastically singing its praises," says the Ottawa expert. "Dr. Kunz made tests with radium in a dark room. The Canadian diamond was placea alongside the South African product and showed itself to be its equal. It phospore- ble difficulty was encountered in getting to the property. Several outfits are operating in the old placer fields of Omineca River and its creeks, and there is every indication of a great revival of placer mining when once machinery can be brought in to replace hand labor and make low grade ground and deep gravel pay. scced the same as any well ordered diamond should. "This particular occurrence is regarded as likely to throw more light on the origin of the diamond than any other occurrence elsewhere. We have been searching through the rock, and with the aid of microscopic sMdes have been able to see the diamond in the rock. This is the first occasion on which this has been done." While in New York, Mr. Johnston gave an address on the Canadian diamond before the New York Min- eralogical Club at the American Museum of Natural History. He exhibited the diamond and all were enthusiastic as to it. Mr. Johnston stated that prospectors are likely to enter the new diamond fields in great numbers as soon as the snow in the mountains melts. "The quality of the diamond is beyond dispute," says Mr. Johnston. "The only uncertain thing about It now is the size." o The Australian government is offering large prizes for the best designs for laying out the federal capital. PLATINUM ADVANCES COAL MINES ACT Prices of the Precious Metal of tlie Present Day Have Gone up in Price The prices of platinum are soaring. Recently, hard platinum reached the record price per ounce of $43, whilst the soft metal touched $41. Six years ago the pure metal was selling at $18.50 per ounce. Through the year 1906 the price of hard went up to $40. The market now declined until in August, 1908, prices had fallen to $20. Soon aftr this the rise commenced and has continued until the present. Within the last six months the advance has been most pronounced, amounting to practically $10. One incidental cause of enhanced prices, says the Canadian Mining Journal, is the growing use of platinum In manufacturing jewelry. Another is the demand for the metal in making tips for the sparking plugs of automobiles. But probably the main fastor is the closer control of the principal Russian sources of supply.

Arrival from Storm Centre Speaks of the Conditions in This Respect the successful establishment of their camps, equipments, etc., they are a well-managed institution." STEEL WORKS English Company Will Start Undertaking on Pitt Meadows Mr. George Edwards, a well- known chartered accountant, located in the City of Mexico, was in Montreal last week en route for Scotland, where he will spend part of the summer. Speaking about the condition of that country, Mr. Edwards said: "Mexico is attracting much attention on account of interior disturbances, or the so-called revolution, brought about by the re-election of President Diaz. If it is true that General Diaz intends to actually resign, the revolution should soon end. Ramon Corral, slated for president, in the event of General Diaz's retirement, has become very unpopular for various reasons, but principally on account of the fact of his association with a group of men called the 'partido cientifico' or scientific clique. This so-called scientific clique is a body of men who have used their influence and capital to exploit such enterprises as banks, railways, etc., and in the opinion of the public, largely for their personal benefit and have therefore become very unpopular. "In spite of disturbances, however, Mexico has to go ahead, the reourc.es of the country being practically inexhaustible as regards mineral wealth, water power, agriculture, etc. Mexico has come in for a great deal of attention from Canada. Some of the largest corporations they have operating down there are financed and managed by Canadian capitalists, as, for instance, the Mexican Light and Power Company and the Mexican street railways. Canadian banks have opened branches there. The Royal Bank and the Bank of Montreal have branches there, while last fall the Canadian Bank of Commerce also opened up a branch in the City of Mexico, and have met with unqualified success. They have a very capable manager in Mr. John P. Bell, who was for some years in their Winnipeg and Toronto offices, and very shortly the question of enlarging their present premises and opening up additional branches will come • 11• for consideration, on account of their rapidly increasing nusiness. "Other Mexico enterprises financed by Canadians include the Mexican Northern Power Company and Mexico Northwestern Railway. Canadians have also turned their eyes toward developing the natural resources of the country in the line of mines, lumber and rubber. , In this last connection, a Canadian rubber company was formed last year largely by Montrealers, under the name of the Mexican Mahogany and Rubber Corporation, Limited. They have an Imensetract of land in the southern part of Mexico, in the State of Chiapas, which is perhaps one of the finest mahogany limits on the American continent, and which produces what is commercially known as tobasco mahogany. Judging by An English company, with a Vancouver ooard of directois, with a capital of $20,000,000 is reported to be about to start and carry on business at Pitt Maedows. The object of the company is to acquire large ore and coal lands, the latter on Vancouver Island, and a site on which the necessary works will be erected. Blast and open hearth steel furnaces, and rolling mills are to be part of the plant. Mr. William Owen, M. E., of London, England, has been in the city for some weeks looking into the different propositions, and arrangements were ultimately completed yesterday morning. The site selected consists of a block of 200 acres bordering on Pitt River, and connected with the Canadian Pacific main line with which it is in close contact. It is opposite Coquitlani. As soon as the engineers can be brought to the ground, work will be started, and this, it is stated, will be not later than the fall of the year. The company will be an English one, registered in Canada, and with a Canadian board here. In consequence of the large interests involved there will also be an advisory board in i.ondon. The plant and machinery are to be brought from Europe, and will consist of blast furnaces, open hearth steel furnaces and rolling mills on a very large scale, and there will also be foundry and engineering shops for renewals and repairs. At least 3,000 men are to be employed. The full capacity of the works will be 1,000 tons a day, and the company calculate on 250,000 tons a year in finished products. This conservative estimate would still, at the start, leave easy room for an additional 50,000 tons. The whole proposition is one which will make for gigantic developments in this part of the province, and the advantages it will have are easily apparent. Mr. William Owen, after having completed the detail matters yet outstanding, leaves for England at the end of the month. He would like It lo be clearly understood that the company has no real estate interest In the adjoining lands. EXTENDING WHARFAGE The Canadian Pacific Railway will commence the construction early next month of an addition to the company's wharf at Belleville street, Victoria. Creosoted piles have been ordered and a large shipment of Australian ironwood piles is now on the way from the Antipodes for (lie work. The wharf is to be extended thirty feet further in James Bay and it will be lengthened by 240 feet, making a total length of over 600 feet. o ORCHARD STOVES It may seem to the casual reader obviously a joke for one to speak of protecting apple trees from the nip of the frost king by means of little individual stoves, but this is just what advanced orchard science is doing—and doing successfully, as the results of experiments in the Armstrong district, just reported to the department of agriculture, attest. Messrs. Freeze and Sharpe are there in charge of the introduction of heat pots, which are placed at the foot of each tree, and in one Armstrong orchard they have upwards of a hundred of the tiny stoves at work. As a result during one exceptionally cold day last week, when three degrees of frost was reported, with the trees all in blossom, the one heated orchard came through without mishap—while all its neighbors suffered. The orchard stove is far from a new idea in California, but in British Columbia, it is both an innovation and still regarded as a prize discovery by the bucolic humorists. o JAPAN AND SEALING BAKERS' NOTICE The undersigned, after a meeting of the Prince Rupert bakers held last night, unanimously agreed that on and after Friday, May 19, 1911, the price of bread in the city will be 16 loaves for one dollar ($1); seven for 50 cents and three for twenty- five cents. Signed FULTON BAKERY MAC KENZIE AND MACDONALD CLIFTON'S BAKERY HAMBLIN'S BAKERY XOTICF. Mr, Morrison, travelling secretary of the Y. M. C. A. for the construction camps along the Grand Trunk Pacific, was in the city for May 24, accompanied by Mrs. Morrison. + * • W. Lorimer, of Victoria, who is interested in mining in this part of the province, was in the city for a day or two this week, arriving on the Prince Rupert. The King's Plate was won on the Woodbine track at Toronto by Saint Bass; Powderman, second; Jane Shore, third. Saint Bass won by eight lengths, establishing a new record of 2:08 4-5. The previous mark was 2,10 2-5. Milkado's Kingdom Likely to Enter into Agreement to Protect Seals That. Japan is likely to enter into the proposed agreement for suspension of pelagic sealing, is indicated by news brought by the Empress of India on her last trip to this coast that Japan had notified the pelagic sealers that no new license will be issued. The Japan Times says: "The department of agriculture and commerce, in the notice recently issued to sealers to the effect that no new license would be granted, had in sight, thinks the Chugal Shogyo, the probable result of the sealing conference to be held shortly at Washington between the delegates of the four countries, America, England Russia and Japan, and that our authorities were prepared to subscribe to the resolution to be passed at, the conference for restricting the capture of seals. Otherwise the Issue of such a notice and In such an abrupt way is unaccountable, it says and then proceeds to review the progress of this industry in Japan since the putting into effect of the pelagic fishery bounty law In 1898. At that time tlie sealing craft under license were a mere handful, but today they number over 40, with the capture of exceeding 10,000 skins. This is the second largest in the latest returns of the four countries interested in the Berilg Sea sealing America heading the list with 15,000 while England and Russia are credited with about 5,000 each. To have to subject such activity to a check so abruptly Is regarded by the jourmnal with extreme regret, and this sentiment will be even stronger when it is remembered that the check was not due to the free decision of Japan, but Is the outcome of the resolution of the conference. It In the matter of an application for the issue of a duplicate of the Certificate of Title for an undivided one-half of Lot 883, Group I, Cassiar District: Notice is hereby given that it is my intention to issue at the expiration of one month after the first publication hereof a duplicate of the Certificate of Title to the above mentioned land in the name of William Jordan Larkworthy, which Certificate is dated the 30th day of September, 1910, and numbered 326R. WILLIaM E. BURRITT, Dktrict Registrar. Land Registry Office, Prince Rupert, B. C, May 26, 1911. J23 will be recalled, continues the journal, that when the first conference was held at Washington in 1897, Japan siding with England, declined to fall in with the proposal coming from both America and Russia, but England has subsequently taken steps conformable to the desire of the two countries, so that Japan now finds herself isolated. It is of course premature to form any definite judgment as to the result of the conference that is about to be held, but the Shogyo fears that from the extraordinary step which our authorities have already adopted they will probably bow to the proposal of the three countries for restricting the hunting. Our delegate and also foreign authorities are warned by the journal not to be too ready to sacrifice our important interests." o SENSATIONAL CHARGES (Continued from Page One) were formerly stationed here in the Imperial service, and whose evidence is reported to extend over several years' operations on the part of men who are alleged to have stolen stores from the navy yard and afterwards sold them to "fences" and others on the outside. The police, acting under instructions from tlie Imperial authorities, are pursuing inquiries into many Esquimalt nooks, hiding places, water graves and ashes of bonfires in the search for skeletons of crimes. o HELD CELEBRATION SHERWIN & WILLIAMS PAINTS COVER THE EARTH.
