With this end in view it is proposed to incorpor- ate a company and offer of a par value of $25 to raise the sum of $4,500. This sum of money will be sufficient to fit up two board courts on Acropolis Hill. It will be necessary to ob- tain the consent of the city council before the building of the courts on the proposed site can be proceeded with. This is un- derstood to be a mere matter of the council being agreeable to make any concessions of this tending toward the = up- building of the city. There is every reason to suppose that the plans of the tennis club will fructuate and that the coming season will be a highly suecess- ful one. It is to be hoped that the club will be put on a firm basis and become one of the per- manent institutions of the city.

Sofia, March 12—-The reply of the Powers Speaking of the favorable pro- gress made on the south end of Graham Island since his first vi- sit here three years ago, Thos. Deasy, Indian Agent, notes with satisfaction the development go- ing on. There has been boom,” he said, “and no large increase in population, but every thing indicated permanency and a desire of those interested to move ahead in advance of the tide of immigration that will fol- low the completion of the G.T.P. railway. There is no doubt that Prince Rupert will become the market for the produce of the is- lands, and there is no place to compare with the islands as a tourist resort. The grandeur of mountain seenery, with a climate both bracing and mild, must at- tract the thousands who are seek ing health, rest and recreation. Along the inlets and sea-coast are places which will provide homes for many thousands. The long summer days’and the mild- ness of the winters form a com- bination hard to beat anywhere. ‘Springing up in all directions no rush or are towns, and three of them are located on Skidegate Inlet. In a short time the north and south ends of Graham Island will be linked by roads and telegraph lines; a better mail and passen- ger service will be inaugurated: : fishing villages will follow’ the completion of the large fishing plants; truck gardening and poultry raising are now in their infaney, and an area of prosper- ity must follow the trend of im- migration westward.

Should the measure be enacted, it will be unlawful for any person “to disturb or in any way molest any marriage ceremony, the con. tracting parties thereto or their friends or guests during the per. formance of the ceremony, or or either before or after the same,” The proposed penalty for vio. lation is a fine of $25 or thirty days’ imprisonment, Hospital Meeting Tomorrow.

RESOURCES AND GROWTH OF QUEEN CHARLOTTE ISLANDS AGRICULTURE WILL BE A GREAT IR INDUSTRY, AS ALSO FISH- ING—SCENERY AND CLIMATE ARE ATTRACTIVE ern climate, the Queen Charlotte Islands will become better known in the next three years than ever before. “If no other asset than the wealth of fish were known, our islands must attract attention. Within a month over five hun- dred small boats will be out fish- ing for the “king” of saimon. The cold storage plants will re- quire a large quantity of fish. Our local plants intend “mild curing” the spring salmon, and our halibut banks may be safely called the most prolific in the world. “We are aware of the wealth of the sea, but who can gauge the potentialities of the hundreds of thousands of acres of land on our islands? The few residents are now an isolated band of pio- neers, but the day is not far dis- tant when lines of steamers will be bringing to our shores’ the thousands who are seeking homes far removed from the ex- tremes of the eastern weather. “If the people now on_ the Queen Charlotte group will only have the determination to re- main with their heritage, they will reap a thousand fold the benefits to be derived from pio- neering in the Last Great West.” Such language from a man who has served an apprentice- ship of over half a century in British Columbia is worthy of consideration. Mr. F. Barkshire, representing Vancouver and Victoria capital, who arrived in the city on the last trip of the Prince George, left this morning for Port Ed- ward in order to view the possi- bilities for the future townsite.
