Borden and Sir Wilfrid Laurier have reached an agreement to allow one-sixth of the supply vote to pass. CONSERVATIVES HELD ENTHUSIASTIC SMOKER Resolution Passed Endorsing Policy of Borden Government Relative to Naval Matters- William Manson, M.P.P., Outlined Some of the Work of the Session In the Legislature- Good Programme ' Rendered. ¥4MHMHMMMMHMMMHMMHMMMHMMMMMMMr ***¥***¥**¥*++¥**¥¥¥*+** The Conservatives of the city held a very enthusiastic gathering last evening which took the form of a smoker. There was a good programme of music given and during the evening William Manson. the member of the legislature for the district, told of the work that had been done at Victoria during the session just closed. Occasion was taken during the meeting to introduce a resolution dealing with the naval question as it presents Itself in the Ottawa House. The resolution, which appeal's elsewhere, was enthusiastically received and carried by a standing vote without a dissenting vote. Copies of the resolution were wired Premier Borden and H. S. Clements. In the absence of the president of the association, George I). Tite. the chair was taken by .1. H. Thompson, vice-president. Work of Session. William Manson, M.P.P., was asked to address the gathering on the results of the session that had just closed. He said that the session while not marked by any very special legislation had nevertheless seen some very wise and useful measures a ! 'pl ot school law enactment legislation was passed calling for the qualification of school trustees along the lines similar^ that of the qualification for aldermen. At his own suggestion it had been arranged that the new regulation would not come into effect until tile term of trustees now serving had expired. This was felf to be fair to those now serving. Had this not been done many trustees would have had to resign. Cancelling Lists. It had been decided to cancel the voters lists and provide new ones. There had been an attempt to make it appear that there was a diabolical move on the part of the government to gain an advantage. There was nothing in this. The present lists had been in use for ten years. It was felt essential that there should be a new list prepared. It was alike to the advantage of the government and t he opposition to see that clean lists were prepared and this the government was attempting. The Liquor Act had been amended.

Halsey, seconded by O. H. Nelson, and carried by the unanimous vote of the meeting: Whereas it is universally conceded thai Canada should at as early u date as possible adopt a Naval Policy; And whereas it is impossible to procure the necessary plant to produce or men to operate modern vessels of war within any reasonable time; Wherefore be it resolved, that we, the members of the Prince Rupert Conservative Association in meeting assembled endorse the policy of the Government as the menus best calculated to give effective and immediate aid to the Xaval Defence of the Empire. lie it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Right Hon.

The pre- emptor would have to live three years on the land. He would have to clear and cultivate five acres of laud also. A pre-emption inspection department had been created and Inspectors would see that the work was carried out on the land. Increased Stumpngc. The Act relating to forestry it had been proposed to amend by increasing the stumpage from 60 cents to $1.00. There had been some little difficulty met with In adjusting the differences between the mountain and the coast sections. It had,, therefore, not been made operative this year. Next season legislation will be enacted Increasing the stumpage. It may lie after full investigation that a lower rate may be charged In mountain sections of the province. The municipal statutes were amended. A very satisfactory Act, it was felt, had been passed dealing with local improvement matters. The main municipal bill was printed and laid over until next session. The bill will be looked Into very carefully during the recess and will be made as perfect as possible. In the matter ince. This would be welcomed by those who had families growing up. The game laws had been amended in some respects. It was now provided that ther should he a small gun licence paid. This would enable the authorities to keep a check upon those who hunted. Milk Inspection. There had been legislation passed to make a better inspection of milk used In the province. There had been found to be milk coming Into some cities of the province from outside the province that was not what it should be. Under the new regulations there-was greater pqwer given to inspect the premises outside of the province where milk was to be supplied in the province. There had been an Audit Act passed. They might have got the Idea here thai this was passed specially for himself, hut that was not the case. There had always been a careful audit in the province. Under the new act provision was made for an audit similar to that In the Dominion of Canada. Provision was made for the appointment, of additional Judges, one on the appellatee court and one on the supreme court bench. Mr. Manson anre of an early start upon the government.

Creer of Vancouver Has Been Engaged to Pass Upon the Matter As a Third Party-Is Regarded As a High Class Man In That Line. A third engineer is to be called in by the city to pass upon the size of the storm drains for the city. This is the decision reached by the council in view of the disagreement on this subject between Mr. Ducane, the expert employ-d by the council, and the city engineer, Mr. Mason. A. D. Creer is the choice of the council as the third man. He will come at a cost of $500 and decide the point at issue between the other two. The question was brought up last evening at the council on a report from the hoard of works. That committee reported that there was a decided differentie of opinion between Mr. Ducane and Mr. Mason as to the size of storm drains to use in the city sewer system. Mr. Ducane advocated a very much larger sewer than that recommended by .Mr. Mason. It was recommended by the committee that as the best means of overcoming the difficulty A. D. Creer of Vancouver should be engaged. He was willing to act. It would cost $500 to bring him uere, but It was deemed absolutely necessary to have him come in order to allow voting In an' intelligent way on the bylaw to be submitted. Aid. ■ Kerr suggested that Col. Davis, being well acquainted with local conditions, might be the best engineer to employ. He had given a lot of attention to this urancli of engineering. The mayor said that while he had the greatest confidence in Col. Davis, yet under all the circumstances connected with the situation he did not think it would be wise to call him in in this instance. Mr. Kerr withdrew opposition uud tho report was adopted. The expert will come about April 2.

HIDDEN CREEK COPPER CO., f25-m31 T. M. Sylvester, Supplies tbe waterfront industrial sites that are needed to accommodate tbe industrial development of Prince Rupert that is now at hand. Situated on the mainland, a short distance from Prince Rupert and on the main line of the Grand Trunk Pacific, Port Edward possesses the finest natural harbor on tbe Pacific Coast, . with seven times tho docking capacity of Prince Rupert per unit waterfront and with a townsite that affords excellent natural advantages of grade. Port Edward has been laid out by experts to fulfil the requirements of un industrial annex according to the most efficient methods Known. Port Edward, with Prince Rupert, possesses every natural advantage to be found in the best-equipped harbor cities of the world and offers facilities for the development of modern industries beyond the facilities offered by any other centre on the entire Pacific Coast. Back of Port Edward and Prince Rupert lies the vast Empire of the North Pacific, undeveloped as yet but with development immediately at hnnd to follow the imminent opening of the Grand Trunk Pacific. This great transcontinental, possessing the lowest grade in existence, will haul the lion's share of the Western grain shipments of Canada, for the Panama Canui route. Besides being the only natural distributing points for the tremendous rich area of the North, Port Edward and Prince Rupert are 18:1 miles closer to Yokohama and the great entry ports of the Orient than the next closer Pacific port of North America, This gives them un immense advantage in the great and growing Oriental trade. Port Edward possesses the waterfront industrial sites that Prince Rupert cannot supply. One big company—the Prince Rupert Hydro-Electric, which controls the water power in and around Prince Rupert—has already selected Port Edward as its site and is installing its plant and wharves. Negotiations are under way on behalf of Other large enterprises for sites at Port Edward. Port Edward's identity as a great industrial centre is established. It is beyond all surmise or probability.

Floyer JOINT DIRECTING --ALIOS AGENTS VJCTORIA, li.c M ^m**-*—**^i mm w PBINOI RUPBKT JOURNAL. Wednesday, March 26, 1913 HEMLOCK IS GOOD British Columbia Forest Service Has Data Dealing With the Timber On Coast. Western Hemlock Is Well Suited to .Many Uses to Which It Is Not Now Put. The liritish Columbia Forest Service has data showing that Western hemlock, which is being cut in increasing quantities on the Coast, is a much more valuable timber than was heretofore thought. This is important to this part of the country owing to the fact that some of the best hemlock forests are found in this part of the province. The sale is increasing throughout the province, some companies having placed it on ilie Prairie market in successful competition with Douglas fir, on account of the lower freight rate and the relatively smaller danger of splitting in nailing. This latter reason makes it acceptable for joining and siding. At present the principal use of hemlock in British Columbia is in pulp manufacture, great areas in the North being cut over to supply this growing industry. Authentic, data are lacking with regard to the durability of Western hemlock as compared with Douglas fir and other woods. The general impression is that Douglas fir is the more durable. A few experiments made to determine the adaptability of Western hemlock to treatment with liquid preservatives indicate that, as compared to Douglas fir. it offers about the same resistance to impregnation across the grain; but that it is easier to penetrate along the grain. Western hemlock is well suited for use in all but the heaviest construction work, as shown by results of tests which have been made, but up to the present time it has had a limited use in bridges and trestles. It has been used in some instances for caisson construction. A considerable amount is cut into cross-ties. Many of the Western railroads use Douglas fir, Western larch, redwood and Western hemlock exclusively for tie material. A large percentage of those ties are laid without preservative treatment. Occasionally it is cut into telephone, or telegraph pfles, but its use in this form has been very limited. It has the requisite strength for pole use and grows in such dimensions as to make it very suitable for this class of work. With a good treatment with come efficient preserving fluid it should give, good service as a pole material. Though practically all piling in the province is of Douglas fir. Western hemlock is used to a limited extent, however, for this class of work and has apparently given satisfaction. tn house construction it is used a great deal as a framing material. For this class of work It serves as well as Douglas fir, and locally commands the same price. Western hemlock dimension stock in cargo shipments commands a lower price, however, than Douglas fir, because of the prejudice that exists against it. When cut edge grain it makes an excellent flooring material. It finishes smoothly on account of the uniform texture of the wood and it also wears evenly. It is not suitable for use In damp places on account of its tendency to warp under such conditions. As a finish lumber It lias the advantage of containing practically no pitch; It lias a beautiful grain, works smoothly, takes stain readily, and when projierly dried will not shrink or swell materially under normal conditions. It presents a comparatively hard surface and consequently does not mar easily. Western hemlock slabs and edgings are manufactured into lath, and as a lath material It, is equally as valuable as Douglas fir or other wood. In this form there is no distinction made as to species, all pieces of a suitable form to make lath being thrown in together and used indiscriminately. It Is used to a large extent for barrels and boxes for shipping foodstuffs. For this purpose it serves admirably, since the wood is odorless and tasteless. A great development along this lino may be looked for when llritisli Columbia conBumors realize the true value of the wood, and cease wasting it as at present. — o Married at Ninety-One.

Harry McLeod would be promoted to the position of registrar of titles. Mr. Manson expressed his satisfaction with the hearty support that had been accorded him by the association. There were great responsibilities upon the Conservatives where the party was so strong. It took a good deal of care to see that the business was carried on without too much regard to partyism. The government was prepared to deal fairly with everyone, whether Conservative, Liberal or Socialist. ' Tlie Conservatives were proud, he felt, of the stand that was being taken by Premier Borden in the defence of the Empire. They deplored the attitude taken by the Liberals at Ottawa and he could only regard the tactics of the Liberals as being prompted by too strong a desire to get back to power. They would have to wait a while, however, he felt. Musical Programme. j Alex. Gray acted as accompanist for the singers and also contributed some piano selections.
