No. 10t> CAPITAL TO DEVELOP ELECTRIC POWER HERE Proposition Whereby Outside Interests Organize Supply This City Shows That Men Prominent In Western Canada Company are Deeply Interested. to It is evident that the controlling interests in the Western Canada Power Company are about to turn their attention to Prince Rupert as a field for investment. The Western Power Company is financially a very strong organization, controlling the Stave Lake power proposition neat- Vancouver. Organized some years ago with John Hendry at its head, the control has since passed into the bancs of other financiers. For years the work of developing power on a gigantic scale has been In progress with the view of supplying the neesvs of Vancouver and adjacent territory. The British Columbia Electric Company in Vancouver it is expected will buy power in quantity from this corporation. E. Brutlnel, who Is so prominently identified with the Tsimpsean Company, has now interested the Western Canada Power Company or at least a number of the capitalists identified with that corporation in a proposition looking to developing power for Prince Rupert. Enormous Capita] Fuller details of the proposition now available, indicate the extent to which the scheme is to be carried out. It means that capital to an enormous amount has been provided for the work here, looking to the meeting of tbe demands of a great industrial centre. It will be remembered that when Mr. Brutlnel last visited here it was in company with General Manager Hayward, of the Western Canada Power Company. It is significant that the control in the new company that is to develop power here is Montreal capital, the headquarters of the company being in the same city as the head offices of the Grand Trunk Pacific, so that the fullest information as to the prospects for this city were attainable at first hand. It is some assurance at least that the future plans for Prince Rupert are all that could be hoped for. Aims of Company Under the arrangements concluded a group of prominent Montrealers secure control of the water power in the vicinity of Prince Rupert. The Montreal interests are headed by Mr. Charles H. Cahan, K. C, president of the Western Canada Power Company, Limited, and Mr. H. A. Lovett, K. C, who, during the past year has been identified with some of the largest financial deals that have been carried through in Canada. It is their intention to form-the Prince Rupert Hydro-Electric Company, Limited, with a capital of $5,000,- 000, of which $3,000,000 will be issued. The company will also have $3,000,000 of 5 per cent for first mortgage, of which $2,500,000 are to be issued at present. Controls Sources The Prince Rupert Hydro-Electric has acquired tbe control of tbe Tsimpsean Light and Power Company, of the Continental Power Company, Limited, and the water rights on the Khtada and Falls River branches of the Skeena River, which were formerly controlled by these two companies. These water powers, which are located about forty- two miles from Prince Rupert, are capable of developing at least 25,000 to 30,000 horsepower of electric energy. It is the intention of the company to develop about 1,500 horsepower of electric energy by means of a provisional power plant to sup- lily the immediate demands of the city of Prince Rupert, and to proceed to the construction of a permanent installation capable of supplying 15,000 horsepower as soon as the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway Is running into its Pacific terminus. tins Works Planned The company will also control gas works in the city of Prince Rupert and will instal a gas-producing plant capable of supplying 75,000,000 cubic feet of gas per annum for light and heating purposes. The board of directors, in addition to Mr. Cahan and Mr/ Lovett, will include R. F. Hayward, now general manager of the Western Canada Power Company and formerly general manager of the Mexican Light and Power Company; Mr. R. Brtinel, director of Pacific Coal Fields, Limited, and Mr. L. A. Herdt, consulting engineer of JlcGill University. TO MOVE 0UICKERIC0AST HEROINE dies HIGHLY PLEASED WITH HIS INSPECTION TOUR Aid. Newton's Committee of Investigation is Urged to Act at Once. Chairman Waxes Warm Over Interference with What He Thinks Is Most Important The council heard Aid. Newton last evening in one of his more characteristic veins than has been the custom with that member of the council for some time. Aid. Hilditch was responsible for calling forth from Aid. Newton a somewhat denunciatory speech with reference to himself. It arose over the question of the investigation into the engineering department. Aid. Hilditch wanted to limit the time during which the investigation committee would be allowed to complete its work to one week longer. He did not want to see the department tied up as a result of this investigation being drawn out for too long a time. Aid. Newton said he hoped to be able to report next Monday evening. He would like to remind Aid. Hilditch that he was specially aggressive in seeing that the report was finished very quickly, and insinuated that Aid. Hilditch had not shown such remarkable haste in some ol' the work he had in hand. This was a most important matter. He thought it was unbecoming of Aid. Hilditch to beg to hurry the work of this committee, because he (Aid. Hilditch) had "changed his tune somewhat on this line." Because he did not go as quickly as some wished it was not fair to suggest as was done the other night that the council would carry this over the heads of the committee. If he was not to be allowed to carry out his work by the action of the council be had other ways of making himself heard in Ihe city. Aid. Douglas said he corroborated what Aid. Newton said. In view of the fact that the report would be ready in a week, Aid. Hilditch said he was satisfied. o WANT A TRANSCONTINENTAL The citizens of Stewart have started a campaign looking to inducing the Provincial Government to give aid to the construction of a new transcontinental railway from Stewart east, by guaranteeing the bonds. A resolution to this effect was passed at a citizens' meeting there. Mrs. Minnie Paterson Who Was Instrumental in Life Saving on Van. couver Coast Passes Away She Wns the Means of Ri-ingiiig News to Banfield Which Resulted in Rescue of Sailors (Special to The Journal) VICTORIA, June 6.—Mrs. Minnie Paterson, wife of T. Paterson, formerly lighthouse keeper at Cape Beale, died at Alberni on Sunday. Mrs. Paterson in December, 1906, walked twelve miles to Banfield to inform the D. G. S. Quadra that the American barkentine Colmi was in distress off Cape Beale. This action resulted In Ihe rescue of the crew. The United States government presented her with a silver J. F. Carpenter Finds That Land in This New North is Excellent for the Purpose of Fruit Growing and Raising of Vegetables—He Goes South to Make Report .1. F. Carpenter, of the department of agriculture at Victoria went south on Monday morning, where be will report upon his investigations into agricultural and horticultural possibilities in this district. He visited Kitsumkalum, the Lakelse and some of the neighboring valleys and found the character of the land admirably adapted for small fruits and vegetables.

Mr. Stuart and others have demonstrated that the larger fruits do well and there Is no reason why, with ihe clearing of the land difficulties like sun scalding and damage from snow should not he overcome. For small fruits and for vegetables, however, the opportunities are excellent. The bench lands are such as to lend themselves to very rich returns from this branch of farming. The soil is a sandy loam with gravelly subsoil. The result will be that intensive fanning will have to prevail. The soil will have to he kepi cultivated and humus maintained in the soil by growing crops to be plowed under. The result of his visit lo that district was largely satisfactory. There are vast valleys that will lend themselves well to these branches of agriculture. Mr. Carpenter also went to Porch- er Island where he inspected different parts with the object of ascertaining what it was best adapted for. He believes that it will be a great vegetable producer and also that it may become an important dairy centre which, owing lo its proximity to Prince Rupert will always give good results. CHARLES M.

PARTY Distinguished Officials of the Company Will Reach Prince Rupert Tomorrow Line Is Being Put in Good Shape for Handling Trade by Local Management Tomorrow by the Prince Rupert, a party of Grand Trunk Pacific officials, including Charles M. Hays, president, E. J. Chamberlln, vice president, and D'Arcy Tate, solicitor, is expected to reach the city. The visit is a most important one, affecting the city's interests. The party will confer with the city council relative to a settlement of the taxation question in the city. This has been a subject of dispute ever since incorporation. The party will also appear before the court of revision with respect to the assessment on its land in the city. No particulars as to the movements of the party have been received. It is presumed that an inspection of the railway line will be made by them before returning south. General Superintendent Mehan is at present hurrying the work of ballasting the road and putting It in first class shape preparatory to permission being given to operate a regular service over the line. At present the company is handling its own freight and also that of Foley, Welch & Stewart which may offer. The yards are taking on quite an aspect of a railway centre.

Has Been Transferred from Department of Trade and Commerce .Special to The Journal) OTTAWA, June 6.—One of tbe results of the recommendations of Mr. Justice Murphy, wbo Investigated the Chinese frauds In Vancouver, Is that an order-ln-council has been passed transferring to Superintendent of Immigration Scott the duties of controller of Chinese immigration. This was heretofore under the control of the deputy minister of trade and commerce, F. C. O'Hara. The court of revision for the city I is sitting in the city hall. They will probably be occupied for several days in the task before them. There are many appeals but the sittings reveal the fact that the court regards the assessor's figures fair in most of cases. In most of instances the appellants expressed themselves as satisfied with the decisions reached, although favoring a somewhat lower assessment. In several instances it was taken for granted that the assessment waB intended to represent only about three-quarters of the value of the property. A reference to the municipal clauses act, however, showed thai the basis for assessment was the cash price of the property al the time of the assessment. Al the request of ihe solicitor tor the Grand Trunk Pacific, the appeals entered by thai company have been placed down on the list. The court, opened Monday morning with all the members present, .Mayor Manson presiding, Aldermen Smith, Clayton, Klrkpatrlck and Hi], ditch. There were also present the city assessor, J. ('.

PRINCE RUPERT JOURNAL Tuesday, June G, 1911. LE ROI PRODUCTION Col. H. G. Burrows, Large Shareholder in Adjoining Nine Offers Suggestion. He Advocates Joining the Two Well- Known Properties Under One Management That Ihe solution of the problem of the successful operation of tbe Le Roi mine at. Rossland is its purchase by the Le Roi No. 2 Company, is the opinion of Colonel H. G. Burrows, one ofthe largest shareholders of the latter company. Colonel Burrows reached the city from Ross- land, where he made an inspection of the Le Roi No. 2. He is on his way home to England after some years of louring spent in China, Japan and New Zealand. "I was very pleased with what I saw of the mine," said Colonel Burrows, "and feel that the company has now passed the stage when it might be regarded as a pure speculation, and that it is now one of the most promising speculative investments that I know of. For the past three years the shareholders have received dividends of 20 per cent per annum, and from the manner in which the present scheme ot development is showing up I think that there is every reason to hope that we shall receive equally satisfactory returns for many years to come. There is plenty of absolutely virgin ground belonging to the company which will later be developed in addition to the several veins which are now under exploitation With such good results." Discussing the Le Roi mine, Colonel Burrows said: "The solution of the difficulty appears to me to be the purchase of the property by the Le Roi No. 2 Company. I believe that there is still a vast store of ore which can be commercially mined in the Le Roi and that if the property were taken hold of by the Le Roi No. 2 Company good returns could be made to shareholders. The question, however, really resolves itself into that of the price the Le Roi Company would ask for the mine." Colonel Burrows left for Silver- ton in order to make an inspection of the Van Roi .Mine, in which, as a shareholder in the Le Roi No. 2, he- is also heavily interested. "I am very pleased to hear such good reports of the Van Roi," .be said. "The directors of the Le Roi No. 2 have always had a great deal of faith in the Silverton property, and really acquired it some years ago when it was believed that the Rossland property was practically worked out. Of course, the discovery of new veins which now give no indication of working out on the Le Roi Xo. 2, has taken away the necessity of having the Van Roi to fall back on for dividends, but it is naturally very pleasant for me, as a stockholder, to feel that we own such an excellent, mine as the Van Roi In addition to our star dividend producer." a mile in a northwesterly direction, Outcroppings at various points make it easy for an experienced miner to follow the ledge. Armed with miners' picks and pans a party of interested citizens visited the ground on Wednesday last and made several washings from ore picked up at various places on the ledge. In every instance they obtained particles of gold. Nearly thirty claims have been staked on the prospect, and the claim-holders, many of them experienced in mining matters, have the utmost confidence in the discovery. A number of those interested will form a group and prosecute vigorous development this summer. Skeena ;Land District—District of Coast—Range V. TAKE NOTICE that William H. Hargrave, of Vancouver, B.

The first discoverers of the mineral were A. II. Clarke and Charles Whilnioyer, who staked claims on their discovery last fall, devoting the winter to development work. They sent several samples of the ore to reputable assayers in the United States and Canada, receiving assays showing gold values from $S to $200 per ton. The samples were taken from very near the surface of Ihe ledge, hut as the depth of the lead Increased the higher assays were obtained. Considerable local Interest has attached to the discovery, but it was not until a week ago, when a well- known mining expert, Mr. E. E. Armstrong, of Barkerville, visited the property, that Interest in the proposition became general. Mr. Armstrong has spent several days examining the rock and tracing the ledge. He has a theory In connection tbat it Is a combination of the Barkerville ledge, where several rich quartz discoveries have been recorded of late.

PRINCE RUPERT JOURNAL ^WWlftlt^tM^l^t^! sWttiWWsWWWWsk I GRAND TRUNK PACIFIC 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 tffl 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 tbat. up to date tbe Grand Trunk Pacific has not announced that it has any interest in any other main line towslte 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 on Ellison. o STUDY THAT MAP.—I desire to say to all parties who are talking townsites in the vicinity or Skeena 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, piobably towns at the ends of branch lines made to serve the mines and the collieries, but it will be history repeating itself in regard to the building up of every metropolis. Ellison has every natural advantage, has every earmark of being the future mercantile and financial center of the Skeena River mining district and the entrance t° the Bulk- ley Valley. o 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 Giand Trunk Pacific has put Its otficial 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. 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 mall order class with his wares. ELLISON is in the Missouri class. Therefore, 1 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 tbe 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. o STUDY THAT MAP.—You will find on the official plan of Ellison that a large part of the town- site has been reserved for future sales, the same as the company has done with certain sections of Prince Rupert towimite. There are, therefore, at this time, comparatively few lots on the market. You must hurry if you want one. 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 5150 for inside lots and v-nO for corners. Terms—10 per cent discount for cash, or 10 per cent down and the balance on easy terms; no interest.

The Old Country, Says the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Is Not Yet Done David Lloyd-George, chancellor of the exchequer, at the Eighty Club dinner, in London a few days ago, proposing "Our Guests," said: "We are gathered here to welcome the prime ministers of the great self-governing dominions of the British Empire. We welcome them not merely for the great distinction of their careers, but also for the positions they hold and the great peoples they represent. This is no party demonstration, none tbe less is it a demonstration by a party. "We regard the self-governing dominions with special pride. The conferring of self-government upon the great communities of the empire Is the greatest of all achievements of Liberalism. Our great dalesmen in tbe past faced misrepresentation and obloquy, dared even political ruin, to confer freedom upon these great communities, We see with pride how they have grown In strength, Influence and power, but above all n the! are of self-government they have added to the store of experience from which humanity can draw- in settlement of its great problems, and as a party we feel we can share In the triumphant vindication of democratic government which they prsent to the civilized world. "We also observe with a glow of satisfaction bow as they assume the form and attitude of independent communities, their attachment to the Mother Land grows. Generation by generation, decade by decade, conference by conference, it flourishes. Year by year it has borne fruit, and will bear more abundant fruit in the future, for it has struck its roots deep in the rich soil of liberty fcheers). There is no greater mistake that statesmanship can make than to imagine that the narrow patriotism excludes the wider one. "We have another special interest as Liberals in our self-governing dominions. We study and watch with care and admiration the spirit of emulation of their bold social experi- mnts (cheers). It is an inspiration for us to see how the daring spirit of enterprise, of patient courage, which transformed a vast wilderness into fertile province, for these achievements are also inspiring an effort which is extracting humanity from the undergrowth of social tangle, in which it is enmeshed, "In this land the growth is older and the denser fibre is stubborn, it is ranker. It is with difficulty and labor that we cleave our way through it, but we are doing it slowly, laboriously, until I hope at last we shall cut a way for humanity to march through to the light. "This is an old country, but we are not done with yet (cheers). Trade returns, census returns, even the living issues we are fighting upon the floor of the Mother of Parliaments, all show that this country has not yet come to the end of its great career. There are still chapters to be written which will thrill us with Ihe story of nobler deeds than have yet been recorded even in its great past. The country which founded the greatest empire the world has ever seen means to prove that, it can also rid itself of the social evils which undermine its strength and dim its lustre. "The Old Country is not done, but if we arc not at tho end of the greatness of Britain, these new dominions are only at the beginning of their greatness. The premiers who have honored us today with their presence, whom we welcome with such pleasure, delight and cordiality, now represent their millions. The day is not far distant when either they or their successors will come to the Old Country to represent their scores of millions. They have a great, an unlimited, future before them. "They may outgrow, and will outgrow Britain In strength, population, power and position, but they will never outgrow their affection for the Old Country. Their shrines in Britain they can never forget. It is the land of Shakespeare, of Milton, of Burns, the land where generations of men and women dared death to fight for freedom of soul. However they may grow, whatever their pride, their power, their influence, these things will draw them to the Old Country with increasing attractions, with increasing affection, un- till one day we shall be one mighty people, one in purpose and ideas, in devotion to the service of God and man" (prolonged cheers). LOOS BY AKUIAL TRAIN Mill in East Kootenay Will Adopt New Method of Handling the Raw Material Announcement that a new company has just been organized to take over the holdings of the Kitchener Lumber Mills, Limited, was made at Nelson, by Robert Campbell, for the last twelve years a leading business man of Moyle. The new company, which has been organized by Mr. Campbell, has a capital stock of $100,000, and will be known as the Campbell Lumber Co. From the viewpoint of the Crow territory, this announcement is Important, as it- means one more mill in operation. Two years ago the Kitchener Mills, Limited, erected an up-to-date sawmill or 36,000 feet daily capacity, and also a planing mill, hut the plan was in operation but, a short time owing to special conditions that prevailed. Both the sawmill and the planing mill will at once be overhauled and the former put in shape to cut 1,000.000 feet a month, all the year round. The timber limits that comprise part of tbe property are adjacent to Kitchener, and contain 7.r>,000,000 feet of standing timber. A particular feature that will be brought into the operation of the Campbell Lumber Company will be the first aerial logging tram in British Columbia. The Idea of conveying logs from the limits to the mill by an aerial tram has long been a hobby of Mr. Campbell, who set out to study the subject and to find out why a principle that was used in connection with almost every operating mine in the country seemed to be overlooked by the lumber Indus- 1836 1911 The Bank of British North America 75 Years In Business.

AN AMBULANC Tbe hospital board, with only limited funds available to carry on its affairs, is met by a demand in certain quarters for the providing of an ambulance for the institution. The question has been considered by the board for some time. It has been viewed from all aspects and up to the present it has been felt to be inexpedient to purchase one. The Grand Trunk Pacific has made a very generous donation of $600 towards such an accessory to the hospital in addition to the other assistance given by the company in providing lots. To put an ambulance into commission much more is required. For a horse ambulance of the cheapest form it is questionable whether $1,000 would meet the initial cost. After that provision has to be made for housing the vehicle, for the providing of a horse to haul It and a driver when occasion arises. An ambulance must be ready for use at any time and to provide a horse and driver iu this city under prevailing conditions where no livery barn exists, is difficult and expensive. Against a horse vehicle is the alternative of a motor ambulance which will represent two or three times tlie value of the first named as an initial expenditure. The same obstacles exist there with respect to housing it and providing a driver at all times. Without a very skilled driver such an ambulance would become a death trap. All these facts have been before the board. In addition to this tha board has had financial difficulties to meet in providing for the running expenses of the institution and the meeting of building and equipping expenditures. The individual members of the board have personally assumed liability for the amount to which it has. been found necessary to draw upon the bank to maintain the institution. The Province, the Grand Trunk Pacific and the city have been very generous in the way of help. Private individuals have also come forward and shown generosity. The board, however, feel that it is necessary to exercise the same discretion in the conduct of the affairs of the hospital that would be shown in private business. The ambulance question just at present is a difficult, one to settle. It is easy from tho outside to sit and give advice, it requires more than that to settle the question.

Auditors Appointed The city council last evening appointed Stewart & Stuart city auditors, at a salary of $40 a month. Tenders had been called for for the position when only two applied, Mr. Munro and David Thompson, the salary being fixed at $25 a month. Last evening Stewart & Stuart wrote that the position was worth $40 at least and offering to do the work for that sum. A ballot being taken last evening resulted in the first two giving three ballots to each of the three applicants. The third ballot went five for Stewart & Stuart and four for Munro. Stewart & Stuart were accordingly appointed and will audit the books from the first of the year and then keep them audited monthly. 0 THE USES OF SALT Serious Condition S. Leussos, a seaman on the steamer British Columbia, met with a serious accident as the vessel was unloading freight here yesterday. A boom broke and fell upon his head. He Is in the hospital. The doctors fear his skull is fractured and consider his condition dangerous. Liquor Without License Nick Gurvitch was yesterday fined $100 and costs on a charge of allowing the sale of liquor on his premises. He was proceeded against under the liquor license act. It was shown that liquor was used on the premises and the onus of proving that It was not sold contrary to law- was then put upon the accused. He was let off lighter because the magistrate believed he did not fully realize the situation. Salt and water will sometimes revive a person when unconscious from a hurt. For poisoning with alcohol, an emetic of warm water and salt should be frequently given. A tea- spoonful of salt in a glass of water is a cure, in many cases, for stomach trouble, relieving colic, and helping digestion. A bag filled with salt and heated, is a great comfort to anyone suffering from neuralgia. There is nothing more restful to tired eyes than a hath of warm salt and water. If the head be washed occasionally with salt and water, It will lessen the falling out of the hair. Salt added to the bath will be found alnisot as invigorating as a diii in the sea. If the carpet be sprinkled with salt before sweeping, it will be found that little dust will arise, and the carpet be wonderfully brightened. Salt thrown on burning soot will soon extinguish the flames. If it be sprinkled on the stove when the kettle has boiled over, it will prevent all disagreeable odors. If sprinkled on the coals when meat is to be broiled, It will make the fire clean and bright. To remove egg stains from spoons, rub with moist salt. If straw matting be washed with salt and water It will look like new. These are some of the very numerous ways In which salt Is an aid to us. It is so common that it Is within the power of eieryone to keep it for emergencies, as well as for cooking. The British Columbia Company LIMITED.

P., was married to Miss Margery, daughter of Mr. Walter Spencer, of London. The church was crowded with notabilities in Imperial politics, society, and a detachment of the Canadian squadron of King Edward's Horse, in which the bridegroom is a captain, lined the aisle. The bridge wore a gown of white brocaded satin, with a chiffon tunic, pearl embroidered, and a veil of hand-made Sicilian lace, a gift of the groom. She wore a wreath of natural orange blossoms and white heather, while her bouquet was of white roses and Canadian maple leaves. She was attended by five bridesmaids, who also carried bouquets of flowers and maple leaves. The clergy were Canon Hensley-Henson, rector of Sr. Margaret's, the Bishop of Columbia, and the Rector of Dingswell. Gifts were received from many of the Empire's notables, Including Lord and Lady Strathcona, Sir Wilfrid and Lady Laurier, Premier and Mrs. McBride. Premier McBride was also among the guests accepting Invitations to the reception. »>«fr «*..*»»*•»*.»•••'.»:• •;..** *•••*«<•. .*• «*••*,<*.»*••*•**>•*.,'..:.<*..*> !

House Numbering Contract Has Been Awarded to Mr. Bullock- Webster There were several communications before the council last evening requiring to be investigated by different committees. They were accordingly so disposed of. A letter was read from C. R. Anderson, stating that he had understood that the poles he tendered for were to be delivered at Cow Bay, instead of at the corporation yards. This was referred to the light committee. Fred Button complained of a stable, which was referred to the health department. James Gibson wrote relative to his position as chauffeur of the fire department. He thought he position was worth at least $125 a month, instead of $100 offered.* This went to the fife and light committee. Ether W. Yuill & Co., of Vancouver, offered to act as consulting engineers in the enlarging of the electrical plant. F. Mello*sh offered 6y2 cents a pound for copper wire not used in the city*. The house numbering committee reported in favor of awarding the contract to F. Bullock-Webster. The report was adopted and authority given to enter into a contract at 20 cents a letter. The streets committee reported in favor of purchasing the scow from Captain Gatz, for scavenging work. The scow was considered a good one. The report was adopted. The city engineer recommended that the matter of weigh scales should be left over until tbe general manager of the Grand Trunk Pacific had visited here and it was possible to find where best it could be located with respect to the wharf. The report was adopted. Permission was given Christiansen & Brandt to dump earth on the street. Several reports relative to extension of the water system, and to changing the grade on Park avenue were referred to the finance committee for report as to the money side of the question. t- ♦*••>*'-•>*•***• -;-.;. »*. •:■ .*• .*« «*> 4> .*- »> .;* »*. <*» .*. .*..'. .*..;.»?« I Shipping Report j J Br Dominion Wireless. * .;, »*. .;. .;,.;, .J. .J. .;, ►;,,;. ^. .;. .;. ,;. .;. ... .;, ,3,,;.,;. ,3,,;.,.,.;. ,;....

HALIBUT PLENTIFUL NEW SKIPPER When the Prince George came in on her last trip, the familiar face of Captain Robertson was not seen, but in his place there was Captain Saunders, another well-known pilot on this coast. To the old-timers in Prince Rupert it looks quite familiar to see Captain Saunders on the bridge. As Captain of the Camosun he for years plyed in and out of this port before the clipper steamers of the Grand Trunk Pacific came into commission. OPERATOR DAMAGED By a peculiar accident on the Skeena, the steamer Operator has been obliged to lie over for repairs. A tree fell from the bank as the vessel passed, doing damage to the smoke stack and the house work, also damaging the stern wheel. By the best of good fortune no one was hurt. Last week proved another big one in halibut fishing, some 800,000 pounds of fish havingz been brought into this port and a large quantity in addition having been taken into Ketchikan, says a Vancouver exchange. The steam trawler Flamingo of the New England fishing fleet arrived from the Alaskan banks and commenced discharging. Her arrival brings the catch of the week up to nearly 800,000 pounds, or on an average of 160,000 pounds a vessel. The fish are very plentiful in the northern waters, and the market is so deluged with halibut that they are being put In cold storage immediately upon being unloaded. The fish are still small In size and will continue so in all probability throughout the summer. The following trawlers have arrived in port during the past week with halibut: Kingfisher 200,000 lbs New England 135,000 lbs Celestial Empire 130,000 lbs Monitor 150,000 lbs Flamingo 180,000 lbs STEEL FOR ROAD The wooden hulk that was once the barque William W. Case, of 583 tons register, was towed to Vancouver from Victoria by the tug William Jolliffe of Victoria, and is taking on a heavy shipment of steel bridge material for Grand Trunk Pacific bridge construction above Prince Rupert. It is probable that considerable difficulty will be met with before the entire shipment of steel can be loaded into the vessel. The after hatch is small, and some time was consumed in lowering them into the lower hold. The fore hatch is larger, however, and easier of entrance than the aft one. MINISTER CONING Hon. William Templeman is to Pay a Visit to His Constituency. His Arrival Indicates That He Is Again to Be a Candidate Here Hon. W. Templeman, minister of mines, accompanied by his private secretary, B. C. Nicholas, is expected to arrive here tomorrow by the Prince Rupert. He is to pay a visit to different parts of the constituency in the north. The visit of the minister is undoubtedly for the purpose of preparing for the approaching election, which it is fully expected wi'i take place before the year is oui. Mr. Templeman, It was expected would contest Victoria again, but it is felt in Liberal circles now that that would be foolhardy and he will regain with this constituency in the hope of retaining a seat in the house. KARL GREY MAY NOT COME In an official communication that has just been received from Rideau Hall, It is intimated that His Excellency the Governor-General may not be able to pay his suggested visit to this province in July. His Excellency in a conversation with Premier McBride during the latter's recent visit to Ottawa stated that he hoped to come to British Columbia during the midsummer month. His aide- de-camp now writes that the possibility of His Excellency coming west Is now only a possibility. Nothing definite can as yet be stated with respect to the matter. ATTEMPTED SUICIDE Machinist Who Came from Vancouver, Made Effort to Take His Own Life G. W. Fraser, a machinist from Vancouver, who reached here a few days ago, is In the hospital where an effort is being made to restore him after an attempt upon his own life. He had intended leaving with a brother from here, but early on Sunday morning while preparing to leave, he coolly took a razor and inflicted wounds upon his throat. He was seized before he accomplished the design of taking his life and was taken to the hospital. He is making progress towards recovery. o T. D. Pattullo has again left for Victoria. * * A J. H. Rogers, the steamship agent, has returned to Prince Rupert after a visit to Vancouver. • *•*•••*•*■• CITIZENS EMPLOYED A return was made last evening to the city council as asked for a few weeks ago by Aid. Douglas. It was from the engineer's department and showed the list employed In the city work under the engineer's department during the time specified by Aid. Douglas, together with information as to how long they resided in the city and whether they were married or single. Tne return showed that a very large proportion were resident here for periods varying from seven months to four years. Many were married and had their families here. Very few indeed were new arrivals and in cases where they were newcomers they were frequently married men with families here. The engineer recommended that in future when such long returns were needed that additional help be secured. The motion to have a blackboard put up outside the city hall for the use of the superintendent of public works when seeking men, was brought up by Aid. Douglas. In view of the fact that there were more men offering than there were places for, the motion was voted down. ****** ***** REVISING OF VALUES (Continued From Page One.) C. M. Hays, should be put down at the foot of the list so that they would not be passed upon until after the Grand Trunk Pacific party arrived and could be heard. Mr. Peters suggested that from day to day these appeals might be laid over until the time when the party arrived. This was agreeable to Mr. Patmore, who said he did not want to remain in the court all the time. The court agreed that it would lay these cases over from day to day. It was agreed that Mr. Patmore would be given notice before the appeals were called. An appeal of P. W. Miller was not represented. It was found upon investigation that the surrounding lots were similarly assessed. The assessment was sustained. , .*« .*« »•* »j« »*>.;..;..;. ••» *;. .*. »*« *;,.;.»; This is unquestionably tlie •j* lightest, most comfortable and % most durable shower - proof |j coat made. .;.

McKenzie appeared to appeal against the assessment of lots 7 and S, block 11, section 5, which were assessed at $1,000 each. He argued that the assesment should be for about two-thirds or three-fourths of the value as in the east. The assessor pointed out that when bids were asked for a city hall site four lots at the corger in this block were offered for $12,500. Question of Improvements Mr. McKenzie also objected to tbe valuation put on the improvements. This, His Worship said, was not likely to play any part in the taxation. There were no members of the council that he knew of wbo intended to tax improvements. Of course, no assurance on this point could be given at this time, yet it yas safe to say that there was to be no taxing of improvements, nor had there been any intention to do so. There had been some talk in some talk in some newspapers about taxing improvements, which perhaps had caused this feeling that there might be taxation on the improvements. The council could not be held responsible for these reports, however. Mr. McKenzie's lots being found to be assessed in proportion to the surrounding lots, he expressed his willingness to drop the appeal. Court Evidence Cy. Peck's first appeals gave little trouble. With respect to lot 1, block 30, Aid. Smith said he had a half interest in the lot, which was assessed at $1,500 and had sold the lot a fe*ji( days before for $1,750. With respect to the lots leased from the government on Cameron Bay, some discussion arose. Mr. Peck pointed out that the closing of the bay by the Grand Trunk Pacific had rendered the lots valueless for the purposes for which they were intended. He objected to the valuation of $2,000 a lot on these. The assessment stood. G. R. Naden had a number of appeals, mostly on outlying lots. He objected to paying taxes on an as- sssment of double what was assessed upon the Grand Trunk Pacific whose lots were opposite his. This was with respect to the property on the corner of Conrad street and the Boulevard, near Montreal Hill. Mr. Naden contended that the lots owned by the Grand Trunk Pacific opposite his on the Boulevard were double the width of his. The assessor point out that Mr. Naden's lots had a better view than the Grand Trunk Pacific property and were in reality most valuable ones. G. T. P. Too Low The city solicitor pointed out that Mr. Naden's contention seemed to be not that his lots were assessed too high, but that the Grand Trunk Pacific's were too low. It was not possible for the court of revision, under the statute to deal with such a case. Notice of appeal to raise the Grand Trunk Pacific would have to have been given and a chance given the company to meet it. Mr. Naden agreed that he would be satisfied if the court found it possible as a result of his appeal to keep up the assessment on the Grand Trunk Pacific. His Worship said he did not see well how the Grand Trunk Pacific could hope for a lowering of the assessment on those lots mentioned. Some other lots appealed against by Mr. Naden near Seal Cove were held to be perhaps a little high and It was agreed to consider them later In conjunction with the lowering of other lots in tbe vicinity so as to keep them equalized. R. J. Abbott had a number of appeals in which objection was made to advancing the assessment over last year's. The appeals were all dismissed, the court finding that the value in each case was in keeping with that of other lots in the Immediate vicinity. In Section 7 W. M. Law appealed against an assessment of $500 for lot 21, block 16, section 7. He said he had paid only $150 for the lot and last year it was assessed for only $175. The new valuation he felt was very excessive. The owners could never have got $500 for t^e lot. The assessor showed how he based the figures in comparison with other lots. The court upheld the assessor's valuation. In the business section Mr. Law had an objection to the value put on lot 18, block 18, section 1, which was $6,000. He argued that lots in the next block were only valued at $4,500. The assessor explained that his assessment was made before the change of grade. With the change, he felt, that lots like Mr. Law's, between McBride and First street, had been reduced in value somewhat by mm Double Weekly Service S.S. PRINCE RUPERT & S.S.

Stephens occupied a good part of the afternoon with a long list of appeals. Aid. Douglas Objects Aid. Douglas filed a written complaint against the assessment on lots 7 and 8. He objected on the ground that assessments have gone away up there over last year's, while in section 1 the assessments remained about the same as last year. He instanced the case of the mayor's and Mr. Patmore's and Mr, Carss' properties remaining as last year. His protest was on behalf of himself and the working men. Today's Sitting This morning the court continued its sitting laying some over for consideration later. W. S. Benson, for the Atlantic Realty Company, made objection to the values put on his lots between Sixth and Seventh streets on First avenue. These contained so much rock that the value was very materially affected. It was agreed to reduce the assessment of two lots onlv. Excursions!

GIVEN FIVE YEARS Indian From Hazelton Convicted of Han- slaughter Receives Sentence. Mr. Justice Gregory's Remarks Upon the (use—A Long List Disposed of The longest list of sentences ever given in Vancouver, with the exception of those following the anti- Asiatic riots, was imposed by Mr. Justice Gregory at the close of the spring criminal assizes. The prisoners were broughl up one by one and sentenced In the presence of a crowded court. Among the prisoners sentenced was Ciosby, the Ila-el'in Indian who was convicted of killing the Indian girl, Janet. "In sentencing the prisoners found guilty," remarked His Lordship at the opening of the court "I am oppressed by tbe responsibilit* of the task thai has fallen upon me. On the one hand is the necessity of pro- tectln gsociety, and on the other is my desire to show such mercy as the circumstances of the ease will permit. 1 have endeavored to take into consideration all these matters, it is a most difficult thing in sentencing so many to see that the proper proportion exists between the offences and the penalty. The court naturally makes enquiries after the case is closed with a view to finding any mitigating circumstances to justify me in reducing the sentences from the full penalty of the law. 1 hope 1 have discharged my duties properly, as I have approached tbem with every desire to do so." Long List The list was as follows: Richard flerryman, manslaughter, ten years. Guiseppl Augustlno, manslaughter eight years. Dominie Augustlno, manslaughter seven years. Joseph Bianca, manslaughter, sev en years. Andrew Crosby, manslaughter, five years. .Mike Butovic, wounding with intent, four years and six months. E. Judd, theft, three years and six months. .1.

Richard Tighe, wounding, eighteen months. Lai Chung, false pretences, eighteen months. Hara, Dahl and Indar Singh, assaulting police officers, one year. Hete, assault, six months and two whippings. Frank Capello, unlawful wounding, suspended sentence. Russian Stabbed Russian Mike Butovic, a Russian, who had followed a fellow countryman from Prince Rupert and stabbed him on Water street, had nothing to say for himself and was sentenced to four years and six months' impros- ment. for Indian [found guilty of manslaughter in the killing of an Indian woman at Kispiox, told the court that he had a good heart towards everybody, and did not know that he had killed the woman. "I think," said Mr. Justice Gregory, "that the evidence shows that he really did know very little about it. The crime was most revolting, but you appear to have borne a very good character, and it oan only be attributed to drnukennes, and is as much chargeable lo the miserable creature who sold you the drink as it is to you. As II is well known ihat the Indians suffer more from confinement than while men, 1 think it will he a sufficient punishment to you and warning to your countrymen if 1 sentence you to five years In the penitentiary," ■ o SUBSTITUTE FOB ICE CREAM Whip one pint of rich cream, flavor and sweeten to taste and divide it into iwo equal portions. Color one portion pink with a few drops of fruit coloring or fruit juice, or, if preferred brown, color with chocolate. Leave the other portion white. Take two clean, one-pound baking powder cans and in the centre of each place a perpendicular partition of rather stiff paper. Fill the cans with cream by putting a tablespoon- fui of the white on one side of the partition and then a tablespoonful of pink on the other side, and so on until the cans are full, being careful to keep Ihe same amount of cream on each side. To preserve a distinct line of division between the two colors and to prevent the cream from sticking to the paper partition when it is being removed, place a knife on each side of the paper at the top of tbe can and pull out the paper slowly. After being careful to put the lids on the cans tight, place tbem in a bucket, pack with sale and ice and let stand four or five hours. To remove the cream from the cans, wrap a cloth which has been dipped in hot water around them for an instant. Hold tile cans over a plate, tap them gently on the sides with the hands and the cream will come out in a perfect roll. Slice it crosswise into slices about an inch thick and serve. This is as delicious as brick ice cream and is much less expensive, as one pint of the cream will serve ten people. o A POULTRY COUNTRY British Columbia Should Give Splendid Hesults from Chicken Farms Five Years Andrew Crosby, LUMBER MERGER CRANBROOK—A huge lumber merger is under way at Cranbrook. English capitalists, It is understood, are arranging to acquire the East Kootenay Lumber Company, the Baker Lumber Company, the King Lumber Company, the Standard Lumber Company, the Rock Creek Lumber Company and other concerns, with headquarters at or near Cranbrook. It Is said that the interests seeking to acquire these lumber companels have a. working capital of $20,000,000, and if the deal is put through, they purpose establishing a collide of hundred retail yards on the prairies. Quality vs. Imitation The difference between a real thing and an imitation of it is illustrated by the difference between "Budweiser" Beer and beers that seek to resemble Budweiser The nearest to the original that imitators ever came was in the counterfeiting of our label. But they have never produced a beer that in any way equals "Budweiser," nor can they ever. Budweiser is bottled only (with eorht or crown caps) at the Anheuser-Busch Brewery St. Louis, Mo. The North British Columbia Liquor Co., Limited Distributors Prince Rupert, B.C. Professor Elford, of Macdohald College, Quebec, and Mr. Drown, the poultry expert of Gunn Langlois & Co., Montreal, have just completed their tour of British Columbia, in the course of which they have addressed a large number of meetings under the auspices of the provincial department of agriculture, upon poultry topics generally and the promise of substantial profit which systematic attention to the poultry industry holds out. The two eastern experts are enthusiastic with respect, to the opportunities British Columbia offers to men who will engage in poultry farming on a large, systematic and intelligent scale. They find the climate especially adapted, and while they had come west prepared to find that the somewhat humid climate operated to produce high percentage of roup cases, they discover to their surprise that this standard malady of the poultry farm is very infrequently encountered in any part of British Columbia. "There is no practical reason why British Columbia should be importing $2,.100,000 worth of poultry products annually," said Pi-pfessor Elford in Vancouver. "The country is ideally situated for the successful prosecution of the poultry farming industry, and it is amazing to find that a larger number of practical men do not recognize and take advantage of this fact. One thing has struck me during my tour and that is that the poultrymen of this province are making a grievous error in trying to get in every breed under the sun." "That is so—emphatically so," interjected Mr. Brown. Professor BlSord continued that co-operation should be more largely adopted in making a success of the poultry industry in this province. Tbe history of the Duncan Association was an Illustrative object lesson In this connection. Such oo-opera- jition was of dual advantage in enabling the poultry fanner to buy his feed more economically and also to sell- his product at a greater profit. The system worked out to the advantage of the poultrymen from every possible standpoint, and in the case of the Duncan Association the adoption of Ibis system had enabled those who had gone in for co-operative organization lo realize at least one-third better prices on what they had to sell. Professor Elford strong urges the formation of a truly national poul- trymen's association for Canada—a union for the whole Dominion such as is now in existence in the Poultry Producers' Association, which has grown to large proportions in the east, and with which the several provincial associations should be affiliated. This national association wolud deal with marketing throughout the whole of Canada, and would be of immense practical advantage In standardizing the poultry industry. FARMERS' INSTITUTE Kitsiiiiikaluni Has Organized Along the Most Approved Lines Among Fanners The certificate of incorporation of the Kitsunikaluiu Farmers' Institute has been signed by the minister of agriculture, this being the first organization of the kind to be formed in the new north of this province, and its charter being the fifth to be issued under the new agricultural associations act of last session. The district to be served comprises all the fertile valley lands between Loven creek and Lakelse river, including both the Kitsumkalum and the Lakelse valley. The new institute starts with a large and enthusiastic membership and every indication of a progressive and useful career. PUBLIC NOTICE CANCELLATION OF RESERVE.

It is from the German scientists —it is curious that if an unpleasant scientific fact is traced to its original aud primitive source it is generally found to be a German that the discovery came from. They have reasoned apparently with appalling consciousness kocl cmfwy pcmfw cm conclusiveness tbat if a white man goes to a black man's country be does not remain white, if he remains at all. Dr. Lionel W. Lyde, professor of economic geography at London University, goes a step further and brings to light the disquieting theory that tbe white man is doomed to vanish entirely off the face of the earth, yielding place to the colored races. Professor Lyde, who has brought the result of his investigation and research work before the learned societies who gave him a most respectful hearing while he expressed the very positive belief that the original color of the human skin was dark brown. The variations of that color are the results of the weakening or strengthening of the pigment, or skin coloring, under different climatic conditions, the object of the pigment being the protection of the protoplasm beneath the skin from disorganization by abnormal and therefore dangerous rays of sunlight. The effect of such rays on a man unprotected by a dark skin are, he says, nervous shock, productive sometimes of total prostration, and frequently leading to excesses, alcoholic and other kinds. Thus the original brown skin color has been dveloped to black in those races living in the tropics and constantly subjected to dangerous rays, while on the other hand those races whose home Is far from the equator have lost most of the pigment, as the absence of any great heat renders it more advantageous for the conservation of heat. Professor Lyde holds that in this way the race homes of mankind can be divided into different zones, that of the black peoples being on and around the equator and those of the other peoples further from the equator in proportion to the weakness of their skin coloring. The zone in which the white man can live under normal conditions has, he says, folks southern boundary latitude 55 degrees, that of Copenhagen, and he can only settle and thrive in other zones by taking steps to make himself artificially fit by such a laborious process as puts it out of the question. Taking ordinary precautions and aided by all the great modern knowledge of the microscopic diseases of the tropics, it is possible for the white man after two years of aclimatization to live in the tropics even more immune from tropical diseases than the black. But tbe period of this immunity is not much longer than seven years, after which the deteriorating effects of the abnormal heat on a skin not naturally protected, begin to show themselves and to render the system open to the attack of any of the great tropical diseases, malaria, yellow fever, cholera, etc., unless he again develops the faculty of producing the pigment. Thus permanent settlement of the tropics by the white man is out of the question. But, on the other hand, Professor Lyde says, the pigment, while being absolutely necessary in the tropics, is not dangerous, has no damaging effects iu colder latitudes. The professor concludes: "Pigment Is no danger, though the absence of it is fatal in low latitudes without precautions which no ordinary white man will systematically adopt, and therefore the dark can Intrude permanently into the domain of tbe fair with more success than the fair can intrude into the domain of the dark." Add to this the rapid increase of the darker races, compared with the slow increase of whites, and the doom of the white man is inevitably suggested." o Woman made complaint to the Oracle.

G. Weston Will Look After the Work for the City. Council Vote I'pon the Different Applicants at Last Night's Meeting The city scavenging was settled last night by the council deciding to give J. G. Weston the contract at 75 cents a can per month. The action was taken after a lot of discussion as to the method to pursue. Originally tenders were called for, when the committee came to the conclusion that the prices were too high. Aid. Morrissey figured out a price he thought it could lie done for and on some of the contractors offering to accept these figures 75 cents, it was decided to ask all the original ten derers whether they would do it Three consented and as a result o the committee's deliberations it was decided to recommend that Mr. Weston be given the contract. The committee so reported last night. A comunication from Mr. Swan- son was read at the council, received after the committee sat, making a very similar offer. When tlie report was received, Aid. Kerr moved that, in view of the mix-up in connection with' the tenders and this new offer, that new tenders be called for. Aid. Douglas seconded this motion. Aid. Morissey said he had learned of irregularities. He understood that the date for closing was set for today. He said that he understood that the letter of the clerk bore this out. The city clerk read his letter, stating that he had called upon all tn put their tenders in for the time specified. After some discussion as to getting tlie work done as cheap as possible, Aid. Hilditch pointed out that in the first Instance the tenderers put in for $2 a can. Now it was down to 75 cents. It looked as If there had been collusion in the first case. He had no objection to getting the work done as low as possible. There hart been a reduction of 125 per cent. The limit seemed to have been reached. Aid, Kerr said thai lie felt that in ealling for new tenders the prices might be got still lower. There were some who were willing to go lower lie believed. Aid. Clayton felt thai the committee should be endorsed. He thought the limit hart been reached. He favored economy but there was a limit, he said. Aid. Morrissey said he would throw some light on this. He believed that there was a move to remove the garbage from restaurants free of charge or even being paid for. This was due to the fact that a hoggery was to be established and the refuse there used. Aid. Newton said the council should keep Itself free from any suspicion to showing favor. He had been inclined to the Weston contract, thinking that lie could give the better service. He believed, however, that If the regular order had been followed, the contract would have gone to Mr. Black. He felt, therefore, that new tenders should be called for. Aid. Morrissey said he had done no conniving. Aid. Hilditch said that while it was childish in the extreme to open up the whole thing again, yet if some of the aldermen felt that there was any suspicion attached to the action, he would vote for opening this up to new tenders. Aid. Hilditch further explained that when the committee met to decide the matter there were three applicants who were agreeable to accept the terms proposed. These were Dickson, Black and Weston. The health officer had serious objections to Mr. Dickson. There were really only the two voted upon. The motion to call for new ten- rtrs was lost. A motion to adopt the report also suffered a like fate. Later in the evening the matter was voted upon by ballot on a motion to proceed along that line to decide upon a firm to do the scavenging. Four names were submitted, Black, Dickson, Swanson and Weston. On the first ballot the contract went to Weston on a vote of Weston 5, Black 3 and Swan- son 1.

The Grand Trunk Pacific through passenger service between Edmonton and Winnipeg is being shortened from a thirty-hour to a twenty-six- hour schedule, and a passenger service will be put on from Edmonton east to Tofield and south over th'e Tofield branch to Mirror, south of Carose, and a special Saturday afternoon service will be inaugurated to accommodate the campers in the lake country along the Grand Trunk Pacific between Edmonton and Ed- son. The shortening of the schedule between Edmonton and Winnipeg makes it practically only one day's travel between the two cities. When it is considered that less than one year ago, before the Grand Trunk Pacific's prairie section was placed in operation, the fastest regular time over the then existing lines was thirty-six hours, the advance is truly wonderful. The Grand Trunk Pacific regular passenger service was inaugurated on July 4 last, when a thirty-hour service between Edmonton and Win- nipe gwas installed, and in less than one year they have found it possible to reduce the schedule by another four hours, and are now about to make the run over the prairie section in twenty-six hours. The finest of equipment will be used on the trains to be operated under the new schedule. This will include electrically lighted diners and sleepers, the latter having reading lamps in both the upper and lower berths. Everything is to lie provided for the comfort of the passengers. o FIRST TO GROSS GLACIER NOTICE Tenders are invited for the repair of the wharf at Mellakatla, B. C.

W. von Tuemping, left on Friday for a trip across the Bitter Creek glacier into the valley of the Naas, says the Portland Canal Miner. The party was In charge of Thomas Foran and Harry Lawrence, and was provisioned for a trip of a week. Two teams of fourteen dogs were taken. Mrs. von Graevenitz is the first white woman to attempt to cross the twenty-mile glacial stretch lying between the head waters of Bitter Creek and placer diggings of the Naas River tributaries. By direction of the Hon. Dr. Young, minister of education, a government enterprise which must have most important scientific and educational results will be started, and from the first the farm of the Co- qiiitlam hospital for the insane will play an important part In it. This project is a complete botanical survey of the province and will include the preparation of an herbarium for the Provincial University at Point Grey. Mr. G. K. MacLean, C. E., landscape architect, lias been placed in charge of the work by the govern* ment and he will haVe the valuable assistance in the field of Mr. John Davidson, formerly assistant professor of botany in Aberdeen University, Scotland. The botanical survey will have the widest scope. Not only wil la complete herbarium be prepared for the university, but, following the idea exemplified in Aberdeen University, Kew Gardens, England, and certain German universities, a collection of herbaceous and other plants will he planted in their classified order In the university grounds, where the students may have the advantage of the living study.
