THE GREAT TOURIST CENTRE OF NORTH G.T.P. is Devoting Attention to Making This a Spot Where Travellers Will Make Their Headquarters While Covering the Northern Part of the Province. There is abundance of evidence that the G. T. P. has In view a decided policy with respect to the development of this as a great tourist centre. Next year will see this policy being well advanced according to the latest indications and travel should be diverted this way to a considerable extent. The opportunities for building up a great tourist centre here are unexcelled. The city Itself, exemplifying as it does the creation of a modern City springing from a wilderness into a populous centre in tbe course of a few years, has an interest all its own Tourists from all parts of the world will he anxious to avail themselves of the opportunity which is thus to be presented to them. But the city Itself Is not all there is to offer. In an age like this when there is an increasing demand for a retreat from the ordinary routine of business the trip along the coast from Seattle, Victoria and Vancouver to Prince Rupert offers an ideal opportunity for the man of business to get away for a few weeks from the ordinary vocations and enjoy a sea voyage with all the terrors eliminated which an ocean trip has for those accustomed to living inland. With headquarters at Prince Rupert, there are excellent opportunities to be afforded for enjoyable outings, and it is quite evident that the G. T. P. Is now preparing to thoroughly advertise the scenic beauties of the north. J. C. Swan, the official photographer of the Grand Trunk company, nnd one of the world's greatest photographers, has made a very valuable collection of photos for the company. After his trip across the province with the party of artists a stop-over was made here during which time Mr. Swan made a valuable collection of views of the city and the harbor. Mr. Lett, the colonization agent of the company, also made a tour up the Skeena and took a number of additional views of the scenery along that route to supplement the collection made by Mr. Swan. Of the scenery aloijg the Skeena the party were enraptured. Mr. Swan expects to return again next year and take adidtional views. He will try to make the trip in May when the best results from photography will be available. All of the party are agreed that the Skeena river section of the route, with its never ending variety in the way of mountain and river Is unexcelled anywhere. This section of the route will soon he open to the world by way .of the first section of the railway. It will be open to travellers next summer and from the opening of the passenger trade there should be a heavy traffic drawn from the vast army of tourists who are always waiting to invade a new territory. Mr. Swan will, when be goes south, spend a few days in Vancouver, in Victoria, and in Seattle, taking views to be used in the publicity work of the company. Some idea of the immense number of views taken by Mr. Swan can be realized when the information is given that be is sending two trunks of negatives forward to Montreal to be developed. Mr. Swan holds medals from all the great explsitions for his finished work. He makes enlargements measuring eight feet in length and claims to lead in this line of work. Mr. Russell, the painter in oils, who was a member of the party, says that it can only be a short time before the needs of the trade will require one i Continued on Page Four) PRESS DESPATCHES Judge Mabee Will Hear Complaints on Behalf of Western Canada. It Is Alleged That Discrimination is Made lo Offset Small Profits in East (Special to The Journal) Winnipeg, Sept. 27.—Enquiry into the methods of the telegraph corporations In the matter of carrying press despatches In Canada will doubtless be the subject of a ruling from Judge Mabee, chairman of the railway commission. The commission has been hearing complaints' from the Winnipeg Board of Trade and the Grain Exchange, In which it Is alleged that the companies are discriminating against the West to make up for small profits earned in the East. Judge Mabee postponed the case, Intimating that he would petition the Minister of Justice to appoint counsel to represent the people In the inquiry. o IS WBL) PLEASED Henry McOondless is Satisfied With His Investments Here Henry McCandless, of McCandless Bros., clothiers of Victoria, is spending a few days in the city. He will visit Stewart before going south. Mr. McCandless belongs to the vast army of Investors that realize that their money Is perfectly safe ln Prince Rupert. He owns property here and Is perfectly satisfied to hold on to It. His visit here has more firmly established him ln his conviction that the Investment ln an absolutely safe one. To see the substantial work that Is being done here and to see wharves like the government and other companies are putting In Is, he says, sufficient to warrant the conclusion that there Is an Immense future promised. PHOTOS OF CHINESE Those Leaving for China Must Go Before the Wonderful Camera. Check is to be Kept on Orientals Who Return Free of Head Tax (Special to The Journal) Vancouver, Sept. 27.—Hereafter Chinese leaving on a visit to their homeland and exempt from the head tax if they return within a year must go before the camera for the purpose of identilication. The new. regulation is authorized by the Ottawa authorities. o ENTERS UPON MINISTRY MUST PAY IN CASH Property Owners Using the Street For Excavations Will Be Charged. Council Endorses Majority Itecom- nieiidation of the Committee The city council has endorsed the report of the streets committee relative to dumping excavation material on the streets, and fixed a rate of 2 5 cents a yard as the sum to be collected. This will be required in cash and is made in two specific cases. One is the application of Mr. Barker, and the other of Mr. Potter. The report stated that Aldermen Lynch and Barrow of the committee favored making the payment in cash, while Aid. Hilditch, another member of the committee, was in favor of a bond being given. Aid. Hilditch presented a minority report on the subject setting forth that he favored a bond being issued payable upon demand by the city, Aid. Barrow said that Aid. Lynch and himself had come to the conclusion that a cash bond was the better method in view of the fact that the city solicitor pointed out difficulties to be encountered in giving a bond. The charge of 25 cents a yard would not be much. Aid. Hilditch thought that a bond endorsed by a second party would be a perfectly safe measure. Aid. Mobley said he had changed ***** * * VERDICT AGAINST CRIPPEN * (Special to The Journal) London, Sept. 27.—The coroner's jury has returned a verdict declaring that Belle Elmore Crippen was murdered by her husband, Dr. Crippen. The evidence presented convinced the jury as to the identity of the murdered woman. Rev. Mr. McLeod Gives Fullest Satisfaction to Haptist Congregation Rev. W. H. Mcl.eod, the new pos- tor for the First Baptist church here, preached morning and evening to very pleased audiences. Mr. McLeod is a young man and possesses in large measure the vigor of youth which is so essential in the building up of a church In a new city like this. The Baptist congregation Is very well pleased with their new pastor and entertain all hopes that he will do a great work here in the Christian Held. Mr. McLeod is a very forcible speaker, and has great powers of Illustration. He has quite elaborate plans on foot, aiming at the Increasing of interest ln the work of the church. Among these Is the starting of a young men's union which will take the form of a Baracca class on Sunday afternoons, along with the regular Sunday school classes, and will be a means of social gatherings during the week. Being deeply Interested in young men, Mr, McLeod intends to make all young men feel at home In the church. his mind somewhat in this matter. He had done this because he had heard remarks from properly owners that they would dump Ihe excavations on the street now so as to get rid of it cheaply as it was felt that later on it would be stopped. He thought property owners should therefore be charged. Aid. Pattullo, in moving the adoption of the report, stated that the position he took was that no permit should be granted to dump on the street unless building was to follow imemdiately. Aid. Barrow said all the members of the committee were agreed that permits should be granted only to those who were to build and not to allow promiscuous clearing. Tha report was adopted. FOR NAVAL COLLEGE Competitive Examination For Entering Halifax Institution Cadets Tests Will lie Held at the Pacific Coast As Well As in the East I Special to The Journal) Ottawa, Sept. 27.—The first general competitive examination for cadets entering the naval college at Halifax will be held under the civil service commission November 9 at Victoria, Vancouver, Nelson, anil also at eastern centres. o QUESTION OF HOURS Dispute Arises With Respect to the Labor on the Streets. Contractor is Anxious to Expediate Work and Insists Upon Prolonging the Time of Men The Fraser house on Eighth street and Fraser street, has been closed down for repairs and a general overhauling. The rooms will be opened in a week or so under a new name and under the new management of Mrs. Anderson. She expects to make it one of the highest classed rooming houses in the city. STARTING SERVICE (Special to The Journal) » " Victoria, Sept. 27.—The train * * service on the Alberni branch * * of the E. & N, Is ready now * * as far as Cameron Lake. It * * will be inaugurated next week. * * The service will be Tuesdays, * * Thursdays and Saturdays at * * the start. * A difficulty has arisen in connection with a contract on the streets. S, P. McMordie, who is anxious to push work while the good weather prevails, has insisted that the work be prosecuted at the rate of ten hours a day. With the contract calling for an eight hour day as a minimum Mr. McMordie was agreeable to pay for the extra two hours put In, but not agreeable to work stopping at the conclusion of the eight hours. The matter came up at the council last evening and His Worship volunteered to use his good offices with the contractor to try to effect a settlement of the difficulty, although it was contended that Mr. McMordle's contract did not preclude his doing as he was doing. His Worship was unable to find the contractor today so nothing has been done. At the council meeting.last night the subject was introduced by Aid. Hilditch. Aid. Hilditch wanted to know If the mayor or city solicitor had done anything to adjust the difficulty between Mr. McMordie and the men employed by him. He would like to know if the contract was drawn up in such a way that Mr. McMordie could discharge men who did not work overtime. If this was so, the contract had not been drawn as It was the intention to do by the council. His Worship said his understanding was that the contract was intended to provide for an eight hour day at $3 a day as the minimum wage. That was tbe spirit of the contract. He was going to take the matter up (Continued on Page Four) TENDERS FOR POLES Council is Making Progress Towards Electric Lighting of Slreets. Seal Cove site Will be Available For City Only on Short Terms The subject of the temporary electric lighting system is still occupying the attention of the mayor and council. Mr. Durant has returned from Vancouver with the announcement that a part of the plant is already in Vancouver ready for shipment. Announcement was made at last night's meeting of the city council by AJd. Mobley that there was little prospect of the city being able to obtain the Seal Cove site for electric plant purposes for longer than a month at a time and on condition that they would vacate on short notice as the company had other uses to which it was to be put. Aid. Pattullo also asked that the committee looking for a site should he granted power to deposit a small sum as an option to hold any property that was thought suitable. This permission was granted. Aid. Mobley further explained that he did not think there would be much risk In placing a temporary plant at the cove as it could be done very cheaply and the cost of moving would be little more later on than at present. A small plant for temporary purposes could be put In there and after It was started an additional plant could be installed on another site to be selected. This would ensure an earlier start In lighting. After the second plant was started the other could be removed. There is thus every prospect for a temporary plant being in running shape in & very short time. Tenders were opened last night for supplying electric light poles. Three tenders were received as follows:-— McLean & Mclnnes, who offer poles at 7 cents per lineal foot. F. England, whose offer was 7'i cents a foot for 30 foot poles; 8% cents for 35 foot poles; 9'«. cents for 40 foot poles, and 10% cents for 45 foot poles. J. Y. Rochester was prepared to simply poles not less than 8 inches in diameter at the top at 9 y.. cents for 35 foot poles, and 11% cents for 45 foot ones. The tenders were referred to the light i.nd telephone committee. o Manager Sweet, of the G. T. p, Inn, has returned from a trip south In connection with the opening of the bar in the Inn.

The city engineer has reported to the city council that he has the plans ready for the completion of work in Section one. He forwarded plans to the council last evening. Te report :overs all that remains of sect inn one not now under contract, and in a plan prepared by Col. Davis the dlf- ferent sections arc set forth according to the contracts to be let. The matter wns rferred to the treets comimttee who will take up ihe subject of the specifications and the contracts and will report all as curly a date as possible. There was a disposition last night on the part of the council to rush the work along but owing to trouble having arisen over the question of contracts and the hours of labor, it was deemed best to have the forms gone Into by the committee In an effort to overcome any such difficulty In future. The engineer's report stated thai there will be about 50,000 cubic yards more filling than there would be space for in the section. He recommended that the levels about the corner of Eighth street and Third av enue ami between McBride and First Btreeta on First, Second and Third avenues be raised considerably so as in provide for additional filling, if this were done and retaining walls pul up the lilllng could be considerably Increased. Tha alteration of the grades could l> • made anytime within the next month or six weeks without any disadvantage in connection willi the work as the contracts were let with provision for altering the grade from time to time. Aid. Hildltch said he had found out how the engineer had arrived at his estimate of the surplus rock. He estimated that the rock would expand at the rate of fifty per cent in removing, while muskeg was given Its full contents. Aid. Hilditch thought these conditions would not carry out. The muskeg would be lost In the rock and there would be a large shrinkage. He was not opposed to the altering of the grades, but If It were simply to get additional dumping ground he did not think that was necessary. The report was referred to the streets committee. THE PRINCE RUPERT JOURNA^. ThesifeF,. SeptemBjer 27", I»19 JOHN HENDRY ON TARIFF QUESTION Retiring President of the Canadian Manufacturers Association Deals With Subject and With Transportation Matters in Speech. At the gathering of the Canadian Manufacturers' Association held in Vancouver last week, John Hendry, of Vancouver, the retiring president delivered a speech that contained food for considerable thought. Mr. Hendry is one of the best known men in British Columbia. His long connection with the lumber interests, followed by a meteoric advent into tbe transportation business and the field of electric power and various other commercial propositions, has made his name familiar not only in British Columbia but all over the continent. Entering the railway business as the controller of the V. W. & Y. charter, he came into a batt'e with some of the leading officials of American lines in touch with J. J. Hill. Although he had had no previous experience in this line of enterprise, he showed his ability by winning out. The Stave Lake power proposition at Vancouver owes its initiation to the business ability of Mr. Hendry who found the money for it. Success has crowned the efforts of Mr. Hendry, who is now ranked as a multi-millionaire. Success has in no wise spoiled him for he takes the same interest in affairs as ever and is respected wherever he is known. In his speech before the Canadian •' Manufacturers, Mr. Hendry, among i ■:- other things, dealt with the subject of reciprocity with the United States and protection, and also with the subject of transportation facilities. His remarks on these points were as follows: "In this expression of my views I do not wish it to be assumed that 1 am cf the opinion any serious harm has alieady beci. dojie; my object has rath'- been to call atteminu to a tendency which seems to be leading us Into dangerous paths, more especially since it has now brought us face to face w'th what is after all thj most impoitant i."=sue confnnting is as businecg men today. I refer to the desu'e of the United States fir a treaty of reciprocity with us. Tables Arc Turned "The history ot our trade relations with the United States has of late been so frequently and thoroughly reviewed by the press from one end of Canada to the other that there is no need for me to make anything more than a passing reference to It on this occasion. I desire, however, to emphasize the contrast between the reciprocity situation as it pre- sents itself today, and as it presented itself forty years ago. At that time it was Canada who came forward as the suppliant, anxious to secure a market in the United States for her natural products. Today it is tbe United States that comes forward as the suppliant, anxious to secure a market in Canada for her manufactured products. When we were the suitors to such extremities 000,000; so that notwithstanding her less favorable geographical situation and her smaller consuming power, the .Mother Country has taken 40 per cent more of our products than the United States. Are we now to turn our backs upon those who have befriended us and with whom, God willing, it is In our power to build up the greatest and grandest empire the world has ever known? I for one sincerely hope not. Protect ion Necessary "Next, I maintain that Canada today cannot afford reciprocity with the United States unless it be confined to a limited number of natural products. Splendid as has been the progress of our manufacturing industries under the policy of protection, they are still dwarfed in comparison with the gigantic establishments operating on the other side of the John Hendry of Vancouver, retiring President of the (.'.'iiiiiiliuii Manufacturers' ,* V V V V V *» Association ^^^^^^^ !«.j. .j. .j.»;. ►;« .j* .j, .j* <** >;* $ *^ *^ <<^ <3» »*« ^ •{« »^ ^ <^ ^ FOLLOW THE TREND OF THE CITY'S PROGRESS BY SUBSCRIBING FOR THE PAPER »*« »** »I* *!* *** -J* *** *** *** *** *** *t* **■* -J* *•* *** *** *** *** *»* ■** *** -i* -J" ^ *$• "J* ♦*•■ ♦** *J* •$• *t* *!• *♦* *** *»* *** *!.* *!* •S* •£* »!• "t* .j,^..j..;.^.*:..:*»:*i,:..;«i>i,:.",t«i->.;.''>»:«i-:«»;.i->i';*i->*>i->ij*<..:.»>»>i,:«»><.»:.c':. ij- *i- -t- -> »> -> "i* ►> -j- <- <* i-j* <♦ -> -j- <» ^- *> *?» ^-. »j. <* ^» <•;•< -j. .;* .-> Tuesday, ISefltember 3^ t9lQ PRINCE RUPERT JOURNAL SALMON RULES HIGH Canned .Product Shews Very Considerable .

The last copy of the Omlneca Herald contains the news that after returning from a visit to the properties, R. P. Trimble of Portland, Ore., has bonded the two groups of claims located on Rocher de Boule mountain by W. S. Sargent and Colin Monroe for $66,- 000; two deals being made on the claims, one of the groups going for $40,000, and the other for $25,000. Business at home demands Mr, Trimble's attention and he left Friday morning for Portland, accompanied by W. J. Gearln, a son of ex.U. S. Senator Gearln of Oregon. If he Is able to return in time this fall, work will be started and kept up all winter. If he Is unable to do this operations will be delayed till next spring. On the north side of the hill north of Hazelton, and not much more than four miles and a half from town, the claims recently located by Long, McBaln and Latham are showing evidences of wealth that add materially to the prospects of the Hazelton district becoming a mining camp of the first rank.

Tuesday, September 2 7, 1910 PRINCE RUPERT'S PROSPECTS Cities in the south are beginning to realize what the position of Prime Rupert will be when the G. T. !'. is completed. They recognize that there are immense potentialities locked up ready to be opened in t lie great country stretching from a line midway between the C. P. R. line anil the G. T. P. and extending far north over a vast area, provided with navigable rivers and lakes for hundreds of miles and embracing a territory through which branch lines of railway to act as feeders to the main artery of traffic can easily be built. The Saturday Sunset of Vancouver thus speaks of the situation: "This question of opening the Eraser is one of vital importance to the coast cities. If tiie scheme is feasible it cannot be undertaken too quickly, for unless some such route is provided Edmonton will certainly monopolize the trade of the North until the G. T. P. is linked with Prince Rupert. After that it will be a case of competition between Edmonton and the G. T. P. terminus with Vancouver and Victoria securing only the crumbs. With the Fraser river opened from Lytton to Fort George the coast cities would then be in position to give commercial battle to Edmonton from the very beginning. Without it we will have to patiently wait for the slow building of railways while Edmonton is in the meantime firmly establishing her trade." The Victoria Colonist follows this up with the statement that it heartily endorses the Sunset's views of the situation. The south is therefore rising to realize what the future prospects of Prince Rupert are. o RECOGNITION OF BOY SCOUTS City Council Does Not Peel Inclined to Settle Differences At the council meeting last evening the question of the Boys' Scouts came up for a little discussion in an informal way. It was introduced by Aid. Mobley who stated that he had been asked to bring this up as those interested wished to have official recognition by the council. Some little discussion followed in which different members of tbe council expressed their willingness to do whatever they could to aid in the work, but they did not see how the Council could do anything beyong giving a sort of moral support to the proposition. It was explained that there was some differences in the matter relative to the appointment of trustees. His Worship explained that he had been approached In the matter but had told those interested to get together and select the trustees and officers desired. The council would then, be supposed, be willing to give a sort of moral support to the proposition. The first thing for those concerned to do was to agree among themselves as to the officers. ENJOYABLE DANCE The Kaien Island Club on Friday evening established an enviable reputation as entertainers. The successful way in which the initial dance given in the rooms of the organization was carried out puts the club In a rank that other social bodies will find difficult lo keep pace With. The function from first to last in ill its arrangements reflected the highest credtl upon the committees in charge and the whole club. The society of the city was well represented and all acknowledged that it was never excelled in the history of social gatherings in the city. The patronesses were Mrs. Stork, Mrs. Manson and Mrs. McMullin. The floor committee consisted of Messrs. F. II. Mobley, A. M. McLeod and C. II. Orme, while the members of the decoration committee were Messrs. to. M. Lailey, Ray Bowers, C aV'ughan and John R. Beatty Kaufmann's orchestra provided the music. The ballroom was very prettily decorated witli flags and electric lights, while the supper room also was very neatly embellished. The supper, which was served by the Exchange Grill, was very tasty, and was enjoyed by all.

R. coast line steamers engaged In the trade with northern ports, has been announced by the officials of the company. This new list of sailings affects the steamers Princess Royal and Princess Beatrice, tbe Amur and Tees. The schedule becoems effective on October 1. By this new schedule, the Beatrice and Royal leave Vancouver as formerly, on Saturday nights at 11 p.m. and call at Swanson Bay, Prince Rupert, Port Simpson, Ketchikan, Juneau and Skagway on the northbound trip, arriving at the latter port six days after the departure from Vancouver. Lying one day at Skagway to discharge and take on cargo, the vessels will leave on Thursday nights on the southbound trip and will arrive in Vancouver four days later. Southbound vessels will not leave Prince Rupert earlier than 7 a.m. on any day of sailing. The Amur will leave Vancouver on Tuesday nights at 11 p.m. and will sail every other week. She will call at all northern ports of importance and will take on cargo at each place. By special arrangements with the master or purser, calls will be made at Hickey's cannery, on Smith Inlet, when business warrants a stop. The Tees, engaged in the trade out of Victoria, will leave that port on the 7th and 14th of each month for Clayoquot and way ports, calling each way at all ports. The Tees will also sail on the 20th of each month for Holberg. WILL NOT CO.ME XORTH From Australia comes the news that San Francisco will be the north Pacific terminus of the new steamship line to be subsidized by New Zealand to be inaugurated October 22 with the steamers Aorangl and Matai, there being no Intention of continuing this line to Vancouver. It Is proposed to arrange with the present Canadian-Australian line for a call at Auckland, The new line will run from Wellington to San Francisco via Ratatonga unci Papeete and does not propose to compote with the present Spreckles lino from Tallin to San Francisco, although the connecting line which tranships cargo nnd transfers passengers at Tahiti, will be abandoned. The chambers of commerce are protesting against the establishment of the new line in favor of an improved Canadian-Australian service witli New Zealand calls. CAMOSUN TO REPAIR On her return to the south the Camosun will undergo repairs, missing one trip to the north. The vessel met with a hlshap near the Naas damaging her shaft. She did not reach here until early yesterday morning. THE GREAT TOURIST CENTRE OF NORTH (Continued from Page One) or two tourist hotels to be located between Prince Rupert and Hazelton. But the line of the railway Is not the only interesting feature for the tourist. There are dozens of side trips about this district that will all have attractions of their own and enable the visitors to the city to enjoy Several weeks of he most pleasing outings. There is Metlahkatla, t lie famed Indian city, with a vast store of romance surrounding it and which will he a tourist attraction. The harbor Itself wfth its vast stretches offer unexcelled opportunities for outings. The Queen Charlotte islands, with a beach near Mas- set that cannot fail in time to become world famous as a camping ground, are within a few hours run of the city. The salmon fisheries with their never failing interest to the sightseer, are within a few minutes ride by train. Altogether there are opportunities for building up a tourist trade that the G. T. P. will not be slow to take advantage of. It seems practically decided that their big hotel which will be run in conjunction with the chain of high class hostelrles across the continent on their line of rail and in Victoria and Vancouver, shall be built on the reserve overlooking the harbor from the top of the bluff between the G. T. P. wharf and the Government wharf. No more commanding position could be selected. High above the station and the wharves there will be a view from it of all that is transpiring on the waters of the harbor. The surrounding area fronting on First avenue can be transformed into a delightful hotel grounds that can never be shut In, but will always occupy a preeminent position among the features of the city. QUESTION OF HOURS (Continued from Page One) with Mr. McMordie. He did not want to see any technicalities in this. There was nothing relative to overtime in the contract. His idea was that it should be optional as to whether the men worked overtime at the regular rate. Aid. Barrow said that he felt that the council was elected on the principle of an eight hour day without any overtime. The other side was pledged to the same. Aid. Hilditch said Mr. McMordie had a body of men In his employ at the start that was a credit to the city. They were just the kind of men that were wanted. Their place ,vas being taken by a class that he had opposed all along. His Worship said that he had gone twice to see Mr. McMordie but had not found him. He would trp to see him tomorrow. Aid. Hilditch thought that the mayor should in arriving at a basis' insist upon the re-instatement of the dishcarged men. STREET IMPROVEMENTS Finance Committee Has Matters Referred to It Several matters relating to street work were referred to the finance committee by the council last night. The residents of Sixth avenue, who asked a road to Summit avenue, desired the work done as asked for provided it could be done on the principle of being repaid during a period covering twenty years. Mr. Perks asked to be reimbursed for removing rock from the street ln front, of his place as it had saved the work being done by the city. A roadway was asked for on Ninth avenue, from McBride street to Young street. Municipal Notice LOCAL IMPROVEMENT NOTICE TAKE NOTICE thai the Council of Iii"- Municipal Cnrporition of Hie City of Prince Rupert intends lo malte the following lr.cal improvements: A 16-foot plank rordway from the intersection of McBride street and Eighth avenue to thi intersection 'f Eighth avenue and Hay's Cove Circle, and to assess the final cost thereof upon the property fronting or abutting thereon, or to be benefitted thereby, and that a statement and diagram showing the lands proposed to be so especially assessed for the said improvements or work is now filed ln the office of the City Clerk, and is open for Inspection during office hours.

Richard McBride at Banquet of Canadian Manufacturers Tells Easterners of Possibilities of the Province—Imperial Spirit Breathed. At a banquet given in Vancouver lo tbe delegates of Ihe Canadian .Manufacturers' Association, Premier McBride delivered an address which was calculated to do much for the province. In no uncertain way Hon. Mr. .McBride put the vast resources of British Columbia and the opportunities for business in the Pacific province prominently forward. In part the Premier said:— "The distance between the Atlantic and Pacific coasts is steadily diminishing with the development of transportation and so also the distance which separates the Motherland from British Columbia. 1 think that only yesterday the Victoria press told of the mall being delivered In Victoria from the old country in e, tltUc ~ .-er nine days. I can remember, and I am not a very old man, when it took thirty-nine days. The president referred in his address to Imperialism which is back of everything we do in British Columbia. We British Columbians are good Canadians but we are still more intense Britishers! (Aplause). I can say to Mr. Rowley tbat he never more truly expressed the sentiments of the Dominion when he spoke of the Imperial sentiment which is evident throughout the Dominion. Diverse Resources "No province of the Dominion possesses in itself such a wealth and diversity of natural resources as British Columbia, and all in the initial stages of development. (1) Our fisheries account for over thirty per cent of the total catch of Canada; (2) our mines have produced since their inception $347,800,000, and 300,000 square miles of mineralized ground are not yet prospected; (3) our timber brings in over $12,000,000 a year and (4) our agricultural and fruit lands, hardly scratched, over $8,000,- 000. "While our population is still small, our accomplishments are large. We have created a trade totalling close to $50,000,000 annually; established manufactures and industries yielding over eighty million dollars a year—and, remember, we are still at the beginning of things. "British Columbia, with its area of 395,000 square miles, is the largest province in the Dominion, and could contain within its borders Ontario, Manitoba, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island, with some 10,000 square miles to spare. Her coast line, from Juan de Fuca straits to tbe head of Portland canal measures 7,000 miles, while an estimate of the extent of inland navigable waters totals 2,500 miles. Fishing Industry "The fisheries of our coast employ about 12,000 men. British Columbia stands first In the production of salmon; nine-tenths of her annual output may be credited to that fish, while her catch of halibut is ten times more than that of the Atlantic. In Nanaimo harbor 22,500 tons of herring (4 5,000,000 pounds) were caught last year. Deep-sea fishing for cod and halibut, oyster culture, the manufacture of fish oils and fertilizers, the canning of crabs, clams and other shell fish, the exportation of fresh fish in cold storage, and the preserving of sardines, anchovies and other small fry, are industries which might well attract the attention of capital. The European countries bordering the North Atlantic give employment to over a million fisher folk. Experiments have established the fact that half an hour's trawling on the Atlantic coast of Canada will bring up more fish than can be captured in six hours In the North Sea Hshing grounds, and, as it Is conceded by the best authorities on the subject that British Columbia's fisheries are immensely more productive than those of the Atlantic, it follows that our fisheries would support a million people without taxing them to an appreciable extent. Riches in Timber "The timber of Vancouver Island and the coast is remarkable for its size and its unsurpassed quality as lumber. The Douglas fir grows to a height of 300 feet—the average tree, most prized by the lumberman, averaging 125 to 150 feet. Cedar, pine and hemlock also attain larger growth than in Eastern Canada. In the interior the size of the trees Is smaller, but they make excellent lumber suited to every purpose. Roughly, British Columbia's forest and woodland estate" consists of 182,- 000,000 acres, but figures are not now available to show what quantity might be classed as merchantable timber. Various estimates have been made as to the available quantity of commercial timber, and these differ materially. The less optimistic of our timber experts, however, agree that about one-fifth—or 36,000,000 acres—of the whole may be so classed; whoch would yield, on the extremely modest basis of 10,000 feet to the acre, three hundred and sixty billion feet annually for 100 years, or at the present rate of cutting for four centuries. "There are thousands of miles of pulp and paper making woods which are still practically undisturbed. Enough has been done to convince those interested that the manufacture of paper-plup and paper is destined to become one of our leading and most, profitable industries.

Mr. Dewar has made many friends on the coast since taking up his home here. may be called the Southern Belt. A large portion of this is covered with timber too valuable to sacrifice even in the promotion of agriculture. This does not include the most southerly district of British Columbia where there are about three million acres occupied and immediately available for cultivation. "In the Central Belt, lying between the 52nd and 56th parallels, the country to be served by tbe Grand Trunk Pacific railway, the arable and pasture land is estimated at eleven million acres; while the Northern Belt, between tbe 56th and 60 th parallels, including the great plateaux of Cariboo, Cassiar and Omineca, may be credited with at least an equal quantity of cultivata- iwson, whose estimates have invariably been found correct, considered six million four hundred thousand acres of that country fitted to wheat growing, and as it is in the same latitude as Vermillion, Alberta, where the best wheat in the world is grown, we may accept his opinion without question. Fruit Growing "The progress made so far in agriculture has been principally confined to the Southern Belt. The advancement made, particularly In fruit growing, Is wonderful. Ten years ago the total orchard area was 7,460 acres. Today the fruit acreage has increased to over 100,000 acres. The quality of our fruit is unsurpassed. Year after year it has taken the gold medal at the Royal Horticultural Society's Exhibition in London, and the highest awards at other exhibitions in England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales. At the International Apple Shows held In Spokane, British Columbia apples have been awarded numerous prizes—in one instance taking 13 prizes out of 14 entries— in competition with twenty-two States. Fruits culture is mainly con- lined to the southern districts, but apples, pears, plums, cherries and small fruits are grown as far north as Hazelton, on the Skeena River, and it is expected that experiment will show that successful orchards may be raised in many parts of the Central Belt. "A striking proof of the great Importance of the fruit industry is the enterprise of Vancouver in instituting the first Canadian National Apple Show, which opens In Vancouver October 31st, which Maxwell Smith has worked so strenuously to secure for Vancouver and at which there will be exhibits from all parts of the continent. Dairying Industry "Dairying is another great Industry still In Its Initial stages. The number of creameries has doubled In len years and the production of butter has increased 2,500 per cent, yet j we Imported $3,000,000 worth of I butter and cheese last year. There is no country under the sun better suited to dairying and this branch of agriculture affords opportunity to thousands, and the same remark applies to poultry raising. We Import over $2,000,000 worth of poultry and eggs annually and the prices on the local market place them in the class of luxuries. It is interesting to note that the value of poultry and eggs annually produced in the United States exceeds that of lumber, coal and Iron. "We have easily ten times as much agricultural land as Japan with her fifty million producing over 22,000,- noo bushels of wheat ln 1909, double that of Sweden. with over 5,000,000 people over half of whom are engaged In agriculture and producing over 6,000,000 bushels of wheat in 19^8—and the greater part of Ev.-eden lies north of the sixtieth parallel—north of the northern boundary of British Columbia. Mineral Wealth "The mineral output of the province for 1909 was $14,443,025. The gross output of coal In long tons, 2,400,000. "The greatest coal field of British Columbia, or of Canada, is the Rocky Mountain coal field, of which 80 per cent is In British Columbia, and 20 per cent in Alberta. The present British Columbia (1909) gross output of coal for the whole province is 2,400,600 tons, and at this rate of production East Kootenay coal fields can keep up this supply for 15,000 years. "Dr. Henry S. Poule, of Nova Scotia, In the employ of the geological survey, says in his report, made in 1903, as to ceal still remaining In the ground: 'The quantity of coal exceeding two feet in thickness within a vertical depth of 4,000 feet an estimate of 600,000,000 tons would seem conservative.' This does not include other promising fields in East Kootenay, Northern British Co- lumoia and Peace river. "The Rocky Mountain coal nelds, lying on either flank of the main range of the Rocky Mountains, respectively in the provinces of British Columbia and Alberta, are undoubtedly the most extensive deposits in Canada, and, what is more important from a commercial point of view, are the only large coal fields of first class coal at present known on the Pacific slope between Alaska and Mexico. Immense Field "While It has been a matter of common knowledge in British Columbia that these deposits were large it Is questionable if more than a few people recognized their wonderful extent or the enormous influence which they must have on the future of the country. What this influence must be can best be demonstrated by the illustration of what the coal deposits of Pennsylvania have done for that state—they have made it probably the greatest manufacturing state of the Union—and the condition of Western Canada today is that of the Eastern United States fifty years ago, except that we may look forward to a more rapid development due to the more general progress of the rest of the continent, and the improved transportation and other facilities now available. "It seems, therefore, that Eastern British Columbia Is destined to be, from the possession of its coal fields alone, the Pennsylvania of the Pacific slope, and that at no distant date. "The estimate coal in the Rocky Mountain coal fields is no less than 44,130,000,000 tons, of which some 36,000,000,000 or 81 per cent, of the whole, is in British Columbia, practically all of it availab'e from the valley of the Elk river. Other Minerals "The tonnage of ore, exclusive of coal, was 2,057,713 tons. "The value of the output of the lode mines for the yoar was $13,- 791,141, practically all of which Is smelted in the province. "The value of the output of our placer mines is estimated at $477,- 000. "The output of the smelters of the province is approximately $13,800,- 000, and it is worthy of note that one of the smelters in the tonnage of ore treated is among the first three largest smelters In the world. "It must be borne in mind that the country is not yet nearly prospected, and I might mention the recent discoveries on the Portland Canal— where there are already some 1,500 people at Stewart, and where Mackenzie & Mann are building a railway and propose to treat tbe ore there. Sporting Centre "No country peopled by white men surpasses British Columbia in opportunity for the hunter and angler. Our vast solitudes are the home of a great variety of wild animals and birds and our coast and inland waters teem with fish. The grizzly and several other species of bears, elk, moose, caribou and smaller deer nf many kinds, panthers, wolves, mountain sheep, goats, lynx, wild cat, foxes and many fur-bearing animals, are plentiful, and water fowl and game birds are numerous and widely distributed. In the southern districts are pheasants, black game and capercailzie, Imported and climallzed, while partridge, grouse and prairie chicken as indigenous and are found in all parts of the province. The game fishes Include salmon, steel- head and several species of trout, charr, sea bass and black bass. The fame of the province as a hunting g: iund has spread abroad and every year sees an Increasing number of big game hunters from Europe, who are invariably delighted with their success In securing trophies. At the recent sporting exhibition In Vienna the display of British Columbia game in charge of Mr. Warburton Pike, was one of the chief attractions, securing several first prizes. "Some of the states of the union to the soutii of us obtain large revenues from exploitation of their big game. The state of Maine boasts of the revenue from her protected big game and you could put that state In the smallest coanty of British Columbia! (Applause.) Open Harbors "One of British Columbia's greatest assets is her climate. Our harbors are open the year round and there is no ice to contend with in navigation. The coast climate is exceedingly mild while as for our northern country, let me say that the Russian province of Tobolsk, which lies north of ths 4th parallel, supports a population of 1,500,01)0 and in the census year of 1900 produced over 21,000,000 bushels of grain besides large quantities of dairy produce and live stock." A voice: "What about Quebec?" The Premier: "My friend, Quebec has a good climate and so have we— only more of it! (Laughter and cheers.) "This province is peculiarly adapted to the comparatively cheap utilization of the power of falling water. It is safe to say that on Vancouver Island 500,000 horsepower may be cheaply developed. "Within one hundred and fifty miles of the city of Vancouver it is estimated that hydro-electric development may deliver five hundred thousand horsepower should that amount be required. At Adams' river, above Kamloops, is another magnificent power site. On the Kootenay river, near Nelson, with Its own hydro-electric power plant at Bonnington Falls, installed at a cost of over $350,000, is, I believe, prepared to furnish power at a maximum of $30 per horsepower fer annum for manufacturing purposes. The Pend d'Oreille river, south of Nelson, is also capable of developing some fifty thousand horsepower at moderate cost. On the west flank of the Rockies are many smaller power possibilities. On Willow river, within twenty miles of Fort George, a company is even now undertaking the development up to some twenty thousand horsepower as required. Near Prince Rupert the Katahda river may be made to furnish about ten thousand horsepower. At the points already specified we have nearly one million horsepower, concerning which we have some definite information or partial development. The full extent of the province will enormously exceed this though at present it is impossible to make an accurate estimate. G. T. P. Road "To secure population we must have convenient and cheap transportation and this is being supplied as fast as possible. The Grand Trunk Pacific will provide a great central trunk line, with branches extending north and south, while the Canadian Northern railway will serve a large extent of territory in the valleys of the Upper Fraser and Thompson rivers and down through the fruitgrowing districts of Kamloops and Nicola. "The railway mileage today approximates 1,700 miles and there is under construction over 400 miles of railway, while the completion of the Kettle Valley, C.N.R. and G.T.P. main lines will add 1,300 miles to the railways. "In manufacturers the province produces about $30,000,000 annually. The operation of the Tehuantepec railway has already permitted some fifty manufacturing firms In Nova Scotia and New Brunswick to do business with British Columbia, and the Panama canal will give still further relief, but the truj solution of the problem is the establishment of factories here from which the prairies can be suplied at half or less than the present freight rates. We have the raw materials and the power to run the machinery, why not utilize them? "Our merchant marine is steadily increasing. The navigation returns for 1909 show that 5,000 sea-going vessels sailed from British Columbia ports In the year, while there were 20,000 vessels engaged In the coasting trade, representing in all over 9,000,000 tons of shipping. Must Manufacture Here The assembly rose to Its feet in enthusiasm when the premier said: "We hear talk of a ecrtain nation wanting to come into Canada for our raw materials. Her manufacturers must have them. Well, they can come and get their raw materials If they want to, but," raising his hand to lend emphasis to his remarks, "on one condition, and one only. And that one condition is that they must build their mills here and manufac- CHAMPIONS OF THE WORLD * New Westminster, Sept. 27. —By a score of 11 to 1 on Saturday New Westminster lacrosse team established its claim to retain the Minto cup, by defeating the Nationals of Montreal.

For two minutes enthusiasm reigned, some of the members breaking Into song. "What does the future hold for us? It is a question that you must pardon us in answering if we seem too optimistic. I feel satisfied, however, that we have already sufficient evidence in the past to say that we can expect in the future to count the population of British Columbia, not by thousands as we do not, but by millions.

(From Our Own Correspondent) Port Essington, Sept. 26—The first service was held In the new Episcopal church here on Sunday evening. It will be remembered that the English church was destroyed here some three months ago, and work on the new church has been going on for some time now. The building has been completed and the first service was held on Sunday evening. Rev. F. Rushbrook has had a very strenuous time building the new church, having done a great deal of the work himself, but his labors have been rewarded, for he has certainly got a very nice little house of worship for his small but faithful flock in Port Essington. Archdeacon Col- lison, of Kincolith, preached a very effective sermon last evening, and remarked that his first sermon ever preached in Port Essington was in a room belonging to Mr. Robert Cunningham, over twenty-five years ago. He was delighted to be able to address a congregation here once again. Rev. R. VV. Gurd, of Claxton, B.C., was present at the opening ceremony, accompanied by his daughter, Miss Rita Gurd. There were quite a large number of people present. The church was beautifully decorated with fresh cut flowers. The singing was also excellent.

The Question of What Constitutes a Bay is Brought I'p Before the Tribunal The full text of The Hague tribunal award on the fisheries case as it affects the Newfoundland and Canadian Atlantic coast contains interesting Information, It is one of the most Important matters ever submitted to an international court of arbitration. These questions and answers are:— Question 1.—To what extent are the following contentions or either of them justified. It is contended on the part of Great Britain that the exercise of the liberty to take fish, referred to in the treaty of 1818, which the inhabL. tants of the United States have forever in common with the subjects of his Britannic Majesty, is subject to tbe consent of Newfoundland.in the form of municipal laws, ordinances or rules, as, for example, the regulation in respect of (1) the hours, days or seasons when fish may be taken on the treaty coasts. (2) The methods, means and implements to be used In the taking of fish or in the carrying on of fishing operations on such coasts. (3) Any other matters of similar character relating to fishing, such regulations being reasonable. It is contended on the part of the United States that the exercise of such liberty is not subject to limitations or restraint by Great Britain, Canada or Newfoundland unless they are appropriate and necessary for the protection and preservation of the common rights in such fisheries, and unless ihey be reasonable in themselves and fair as between local fishermen and fishermen coming from the United States, and not so framed as to give an advantage to the former over the latter, and unless their appropriateness, necessity, reasonableness and fairness be determined by the United States and Great Britain by common accord, and the United States concurs in their enforcement. Britain Supreme on Const Answer.—The right of Great Britain to make regulations without the consent of the United States as to the exercise of the liberty to take fish, referred to in article 1 of the treaty of October 20, 1818, in the form of municipal laws, ordinances or rules of Great Britain, Canada, or Newfoundland is inherent in the sovereignty of Great Britain. The exercise of that right by Great Britain is, however, limited by the said treaty in respect of the said liberties therein granted to the inhabitants of the United States In that such regulations must be made bona fide and must not be in violation ot (1) appropriate or necessary for the protection and preservation of such fisheries, or (2) desirable or necesary on grounds of public order and morals, without unnecessarily interfering with the fishery itself, and in both cases equitable and fair as between local and American fishermen, and not so framed as to give unfairly an advantage to the former over the latter class, are not inconsistent with the obligation to execute the treaty In good faith, and are, therefore, reasonable and not in violation of tho treaty. Reasonable Regulations For the decision of the question whether a regulation is or Is not reasonable, as being or not being ln accordance with the dispositions of the treaty and not in violation there of, Ihe treaty of 1818 contains no special provision. The settlement of differences in ibis respect thai might arise thereafter was left to the or Unary means of diplomatic Intercourse. By reason, however, of the form in which question one is put, and by further reason of the admission of Great, Britain, by her counsel before this tribunal, thai it is not now for either of *he parties to the treaty to determine the reasonableness of any regulations made by Great Britain, Canada or Newfoundland, the reasonableness of any such regulation, if contested, must be decided, not by either of ihe parties, but by impartial authority ln accordance with the principles herein above laid down, and ln the manner proposed In the recommendations made by the tribunal. in virtue of article 4 of the agreement, the tribunal further decides that article 4 of the agreement Is, as stated by counsel of the respective parties at. the argument, permanent in its effect, and not tremlnable by Skeena Land District—District of Coast.

Stevenson of Victoria Writes of Great Future of the Place. Prince Rupert Strongly Impressed Visitor, Who Gives His Ideas About It Rev. W. Stevenson, of Victoria, in his latest article published in the Colonist dealing with his trip along the coast of British Columbia, gives attention to Prince Rupert. His ideas respecting this place are logical and are such as could be expected from one who takes such an Interest In human affairs as he does. He says: Before seeing Prince Rupert I had heard much about it; its rain, its un- evenness, and Its soggy ground. It was said that nothing was ever known to grow there but moss; and that its inhabitants were in constant danger of sinking into tbe bottomless bog on which it is being built. And so I did not expect much. I did not. expect to find a city in the making standing on good rocky ground, and the sun shining on it as it does at Victoria or Kamloops. I did not expect that one of the first invitations I should receive would be one to come and taste some fine strawberries raised in the neighborhood. But this was my experience. Approached by water, Prince Rupert has all the appearance of a towsy-headed boy who receives your Inspection with an air of defiance, as much as to say: "You just wait a bit; I'm not cafing what people say just now. I haven't got by best clothes on yet. I'm here just, and I'm going to be a big fellow before some of the wise people know where they are." This Impression was fully borne out by all tbat I saw and heard of Prince Rupert There is the harbor, one of the 'finest in the world, even if there is anywhere anything to approach It. Those who have whispered things against Prince Rupert must surely have bade good-by to their senses. Eighteen months ago it was nothing. It was only then being cleared of timber to make room for a townsite. Now there is a considerable population, with three newspapers, fine hotels, banks, churches, schools, and several fine, big stores. But all this would be sheer folly if nothing else could be said about it. The great asset of Prince Rupert, next to its harbor facilities, is that It is to be the terminus of the great transcontinental railroad which is being fast hurried toward completion by the Grand Trunk Pacific. As soon as the line opens and traffic begins, Prince Rupert will spring to worldwide fame as the young giant city of the northwest coast. Prince Rupert will not be able to hold back. It will no more be able to resist growing than a strong young athlete can on entering his teens. Any natural disadvantage which it has at present are only tit talk for babies and garrulous old people. It is a wet climate to be sure; but who ever knew of a wet climate that was not a perfectly healthy place to live in, other things being equal? There are no decent roads at present, and one must not step off the sidewalk, In case he should put his foot In a hole. But who cares for that? There Is always bedrock to build on, and before long Prince Rupert will have roads as strong and clean, and natural conditions as advantageous as any city can boast In Northern climes. This article is not written by a professional "booster." I have no Interst in Prince Rupert more than In Timbuctoo, but I could not help feeling inspired by the vision of what Prince Rupert Is yet to be; and of what It will do for the millions of people who are bound in time to come this way, and find escape from the crowded centres of European lifo and welcome to a new world of freedom and hope and natural advantage. I have no Interst in the real estate men. for whom Prince Rupert stands for so much, and who are there for the sole purpose of marking off the newcomers who land In the city. I would willingly send them out to work with their hands as other men have to work, but the fact that these men are there in such numbers is an indication of what is coming by way of trade and of the consequent rise ln land values. I have no sympathy with the gamble in land that goes on In all these new places, but I predict that large fortunes will bo made of town lots in Prince Rupert during the next ten years or more. When I came back that way It was raining, but it was rain like a Scotch mist, only that the air was clear and mild. As our ship steamed out of the harbor, a vision rose before my eyes of another giant city, teeming with life and throbbing with energy; a great meeting place for the mighty currents of commerce between East and West that will surge this way; a city rich in magnificent architectural creations, flowing with wealth, made beautiful by. happy homes, schools, colleges, halls of learning, and homes of science and art; over the water beautiful suburban residences, and on the waters stately steamers filled with happ^ people as they pass to and fro, seeking for pleasure or for health on the shores of the many beautiful Islands by which these water ways are studded. And then I wished that I might live to see Prince Rupert as It will be twenty, fifty, a hundred years hence. o NEW STYLES OF WARSHIPS Stories of a startling revolution In the construction of future warships comes from Portsmouth. It is said that the next Dreadnought to be built there will have motor engines, and consequently the vessel will be without funnels, boilers, stokeholds, and the other prominent features In steam. This will mean a construction wholly different to the present type of fighting vessel, as startling ln Its change as when steam first superseded sailing. At present the internal combustion marine engine has only been used on submarines and other smal craft. Whether it has yet been brought to such a pitch of perfection as to develop the 60,000 to 70,000 horsepower that would be required in the next battleship is problematical. A solution of the difficulty would bring up to the dawn of a new era in naval affairs, and place on the seas smokeless squadrons of great speed, with no funnels to hinder fore-and- aft gun-fire, and an enormous saving in space, which would be devoted to increasing fuel and ammunition, thus adding enormously to radius and effectiveness of action. In other words, It would maku-the might Orion, launched only a few days ago, an obsolete vessel. It is Interesting to recall that in Mr. Max Pemberton's famous novel, "The Iron Pirate," his wonderful ship was driven by internal combustion, and failed at the critical moment owing to the difficulty of lubrication. o GERMAN RELATIONS How the Late King Hoped for Closer Relations Between Nations. He Labored Always to Bring About Peaceful Settlements of Troubles Lord Esher has contributed to the September number of the "Deutsche Revue" a remarkable article on "King Edward VII and Germany," an advance proof of which has been obtained by the Berlin correspondent of the "Daily Telegraph." Lord Esher deals mainly with King Edward's attitude toward Germany, and declares that he loved the German people and had "a real liking" for the Kaiser, which was the basis of their intercourse Lord Esher describes as "nothing but pure imagination" the notion that King Edward directed the foreign policy of Great Britain, and continues: "He always recognized that the determination of the policy of Great Britain was the affair of the minister for the time being. "The leaders of both political parties in the country found in him not only a powerful ally, but also a positively unconquerable champion of their foreign policy. The foreign policy of the ministry in office was In his eyes—under constitutional government, one should be able tq regard this as a matter of course—the policy of the nation, and, therefore, also the policy which the sovereign sanctioned. "King Edward, for his part, never doubted that he would surmount the internal crisis which his ministers threatened to bring about, in a peaceable manner, and without injury to his prestige. "He may have momonts of annoyance but he never lost courage, and he was always conscious that he would be able to win the majority of his people for himself, without regard to the form which a momentary majority in the lower house might take. "In Internal affairs as ln foreign policy, the fundamental trait in King E '.ward's character was courage. "He was at one with the majority of his people In the wish to maintain the sea power of Great Britain on the highest step which It must occupy if it is to fulfil the purposes of national defence and afford a guarantee for the inviolability of British territory. He had no ulterior thoughts, and never had a hostile intention. "Least of all would it have occurred to the king to look with feelings of jealousy, of irritation, or of uneasiness at the governing power of the German empire. "King Edward was far too reasonable, his knowledge of the world was too thorough, and his understanding of the conditions of commercial rivalry among the European states too e'ear for him not absolutely to appreciate the real meaning of the efforts of the German Emperor and the German people to Increase German sea-power, and to peg out a broader area for German colonial undertakings. "He could not regard disarmament of limitation of armaments under existing corcumstances as anything else than a fantastical dream, and he could never understand how any intelligent human being could believe that he had ever proposed either the one or the other to the German Emperor." Lord Esher concludes his article with a plea for the inclusion of Germany in the bond of friendship that nd^v unites Great Britain and France, and though he does not expressly say so, he leads one rto believe that this consummation would rave accorded with the feelings and convictions of King Edward.

The Accused Will Come Up Preliminary Hearing on Friday For The Inquest into the circumstances surrounding the death of Joseph Beaudoin last Thursday night was concluded last evening before the coroner, J. H. McMullin. The jury consisted of J. R. Beatty, J. D. Allen, Alex. McRae, John H. Johnston, J. H. Thompson and John Vaughan. The jury after bearing the evidence brought in a verdict that the murdered man came to his death by a shot In the breast fired by AlpBonse Richer. The preliminary hearing of the charge against Richer will be gone on with on Friday before tbe police magistrate. At the inquest last night Thomas Keon was the first witness called. He stated that he had seen Ri.'her helping Beaudoin, who was very drunk, home on Wednesday night. The next morning Richer came and asked witness for a clothes brush ti brush the mud from Beaudoin's clothing, and he also told witness that he was going to town to get a bottle to cheer Beaudoin up. Richer himself was perfectly sober. Dr. Tremayne stated that he had been called for about 8.30 Thursday evening and was told that some one was shot. He, along with the police and Richer, hurried to the scene of the shooting in a launch. Upon arriving at the shack he found Beaudoin lying on the bed groaning. He examined him slightly and ordered him to be taken to the hospital. Upon closer examination It was found that the bullet had gone through the left side, thence to the right side, culling the tenth rib, going under ihe liver and through the diaphragm Into the right lung and finally lldg- Ing Itself in the slomach. There was considerable hemorrhage In the chest. The doelor slated that this, along wiib the shock, was the rause of death. Joe Sinclair testified that he had known eBaudoln for several years. He s:iw him last week On Friday he identifier] Ihe body of the deceased ns thai of Jos. Beaudoin. David Slanstrotn, employed by Foley, Welsh and Stewart as a hook- keeper, staled that there was $277.70 on Hie hooks to the credit of Beaudoin. Sergt. Regan, who accompanied Dr. Tremayne to the scene of the shooting, gave evidence very similar to that of Dr. Tremayne. He also slated that while at the hospital Richer started to talk In French to Beaudoin. Regan told him to talk In English, because anything he should say would be used In evidence ngainst him. Richer started to cry and said that he had done It unintentionally. Beaudoin looked up at Richer, murmured something, and said that he should not have done it. Richer told Regan that the two of them had been drinking for three or four days and that on Wednesday night Beaudoin had robbed Richer of $14. Thursday night they had quarrelled over it, and at Richer was sitting on the bed with the gun in his hand it went off. Regan could not find the $14 that Richer claimed Beaudoin had stolen. The next morning Richer appeared at the police station with the $14 which he thought Beaudoin had stolen but had not. Upon examining the gun In court last evening it was found that a separate action was required to cock the gun after it was loaded, otherwise the gun would not go off. Sergt. Regan stated that he had found two empty whiSky bottles and one partly full in the shack occupied by the men. After the evidence bad been put in the jury retired, shortly afterwards bringing in the verdict before stated. The deceased man has a brother in West Superior, Wisconsin, and also an uncle, a logger in Vancouver. o FIRE EQUIPMENT Recommendations Pass Council Authorizing Work to be Done Tbe fire and water committee of the city council made a report last evening recommending a number of items asked for by the Are chief. The latter stated that the two hose reels had arrived and the houses should be erected for them. These, he recommended should be built so that they could be moved. They should be 10 feet by 14 feet and 8 feet high and could be built at a cost of $50 each. One should be built at the corner of Second avenue and Seventh street, and the other at Third avenue and Fifth street. He also recommended the purchase of cable to be used in pulling down buildings in case of necessity in fighting Are. This should have a hook on one end and a ring on the other. On the motion to adopt the report of the fire committee, Aid. Hilditch wished to know If anything was being done to Increase the water main. It seemed useless to provide for additional connections unless the main was Increased. AH. Mobley explained that these hose centres were Intended only to facilitate using the hose they had. No additional hose would be needed. His Worship explained that the six Inch pipe which was to have been placed to continue to the street line, had to be used to provide for an increased supply from the pumps to the reservoir. Aid. Mclntyre suggested that as the pipe was needed for this use ad ditlonal pipe might, have been order ed. It should all be done subject to the city engineer's approval as he was well aware of the necessities. The report was adopted. TOOK HIS OWN LIFE Mystery Solved Surrounding Disappearance of George Reid Who Murdered His Wife. OPENING LAKELSE Man Apparently Committed Suicide A cry Shortly Alter Taking Life of Woman George Reid, the murderer of his wife at Clayburn, the police, believe, was evidently insane when he put a end to the life of his young wife a few weeks ago for his body was found floating in the Fraser river with the throat cut from ear to ear last Tuesday morning by Joseph Louis, an Indian, near Pump House No. 2, Mats- qui Prairie. The red man was in a canoe at the time and after making fast to the body hurried to Mission where Constable Wilkfe of Vancouver, was then stopping with Constable Gammon. As soon as the provincial constable set eye upon the body, he said: "That is the man." So well had the officer studied the photograph of the murderer that he knew every line. Not only did the clothes worn by the dead man tally with the description of those worn by Reid when he disappeared, but the whole get up was the same. However, to make assurance doubly sure, the constable telephoned to the B. C. Electric Railway office at Vancouver, asking Mr. Porter to view the remains. Mr. Porter, who is an employee of the B. C. Electric Railway company, and who with Mr. Rutledge was boarding with the Reids at the time of the murder without the slightest hestitation identified the body as that of .Reid. From what has been learned from witnesses and from scraps of circumstantial evidence, Reid wrote a foui letter to the young men who boarded with him and his wife. This letter has never been made public. Then he killed his young help-mate and fled to the C. P. R. bridge at Mission, not far from his home at Clayburn, which it will be remembered lies just across the river from Mission. There, It Is surmised, he drew a sharp razor from his hip pocket and slashed his throat with frenzied fury, so that he severed the jugular vein and cut deeply the throat in a long wound extending from ear to ear. Then he either fell Into the rushing river below, or tumbled over through shock and loss of blood. Company Incorporated to Carry on Operations in That District.
