VAISE AND BAYLEY TO HAVE ANOTHER SET-TO Clever Lightweights Have Been Matched for Return Bout at Brighouse Arena Canadian lightweight cham- pion Frenchie Vaise will meet ex-champion Joe Bayley of Vic- tori in a return bout for the title at Chet MelIntyre’s Brig- house arena on the night of July 26th. After the clever bout put up by both boys on the holiday and the doubt expressed by quite a number of Jocal fans regarding Bayley’s condition, McIntyre went right after Tom Swift, manager of Vaise, and made a proposition to him for a return bont. Needless to say, Swift did not hesitate accepting McIntyre’s terms and as Bayley, is more than anxious to get a chance to win back his lost laurels very little trouble was experienced in signing up both boys again. It took Morris Condon and Swift just ten minutes to come to an agreement and the boxing fans around here should be treated to the best bout ever staged in this part of the country.—Victoria Times, TO FETCH MINISTER Estevan Will Go South for Hon.

P. near Fraser Lake, arrived here from the interior last night and went to Vancouver on the Prince Rupert this morning. Mr. Ross reports the work of con- struction to be progressing steadily. “There has been,” he said, “a better supply of labor than in any previous year of construc- ’ tion. If it continues to be as plentiful as at present there should be no difficulty in com- pleting the grading of the entire line by the fall of 1914. I expect the track will reach Smithers this week. From Smithers eastward as far as Burns Lake there are no heavy bridges to be construct- ed and there is nothing to delay the laying of the track. “The contract for the line at Burns Lake is in the hands of B. A. Rankin & Co. and Stewart Bros. They started there last year and have a very heavy piece of work, which, however, will be completed this year. All the work west of Burns Lake is prac- tically completed. “We have had an unusually wel summer in the interior this year and have been troubled with bad roads in consequence, which have caused a good deal of diffi- culty in getting in supplies, There is, however, one very con- siderable compensation. The crops look better than ever be- fore. If there is only dry weather for hay and harvesting there will be practically enough supplies in the country to meet the demand.” Mr. Ross will be in Vancouver for a fortnight or three weeks. He will then return to the in- terior, probably by way of Ash- croft. GENERAL AGENT M’MASTER GETS MERITED PROMOTION TRANSFERRED TQ REGINA AS GENERAL COMMERCIAL AGENT OF THE G. T. P. AFTER FIVE YEARS’ SERVICE IN PRINCE RUPERT. The citizens of Prince Rupert and district wili learn with con. siderable regret that Mr. A. E, McMaster, general agent of the G. T. P. here, has been trans- ferred to Regina, Sask., and will jeave in the course of a week or ten days to take up his residence in the prairie capital. The pro- motion came to Mr. McMaster quite unexpectedly, the final ad- vice as to the appointment being received by wire on Saturday. Mr. McMaster came to Prince Rupert in August, 1908, as agent for the G. T. P. and is therefore one of the real pioneers of the city. Since that time he has had an experience in the organiza- tion of the rail and steamship service from both the freight and passenger ends that will prove invaluable to him in his career as arailway man. When he came to Prince Rupert the G. T. P. Steamship Company had not been organized, the only boat operated by the G. T. P. being the Distributor which was in service on the Skeena. Later on the G.T.P. secured the subsidy for the mail to the Queen Char- lotte Islands and the ss. Hen- riette was bought for this ser- vice, Mr. McMaster thus had the honor of operating the first steamer. In June, 1910 the G.T, P, Steamship Company was in- augurated since which Mr. Me- Master has played an important part in the organization and building up of the service. He was appointed general agent on January ist, 1912. Mr. McMaster began his rail- way career in the freight office of the C, P. R. at Keewatin, about twelve years ago. After some six years experience there he was appointed freight and passenger agent at Port Arthur, Ont., but resigned in less than a year to accept the agency for the G. T. P. at Fort William. He held down this position one year when he came to Prince Rupert. In his connection with the G. T. P. Mr. McMaster has had the honor of issuing the first freight way bill for the G. T. P. west from the Great Lakes, also the first’ freight way bill east from the coast. He also issued the first passenger ticket sold on the G. T. P, from Prinee Rupert, the purchaser being Mr, Arthur Littie, who still holds the ticket as‘a much prized souvenir. While Mr. McMaster’s depart- ure from Prince Rupert is much regretted locally, his many friends will congratulate him on his merited promotion. In his new position, that of general eommercial agent, with head- quarters at Regina, he will have charge of an extensive and pros- perous prairie territory, and thére is no doubt but that he will be able to handle the busimess with perfect satisfaction to the traffic department of the G. T. PF. Ai- though still a young man, Mr. McMaster has made rapid pro- gress in railway work and his re- cent appointment-is a recognition from the higher officials of his ability and aggressiveness. Having been a resident of Prince Rupert from its early pioneer days and haying had go much to do with the organization of the freight and passenger traffic of the district, Mr. Me- Master will find it no easy task to break the many pleasant asso- ciations formed during the last five years. He will carry with him, he says, fond recollections of the many friendships that he has made here and will always take a keen interest in Prince Rupert's future development. It is not impossible that he may again he a resident of the city in the service of the G. T. P. and it is more than likely, he says, that he will be among those who will haye the honor of entering the city on the first through train. Mr. McMaster will be missed in other than railway circles. He is a popular member of the local Masonic fraternity and has taken an active inieresi in almost every movement for the general advancement of the city. Mrs. McMaster, who is at present visiting at her parents’ summer home at Loon Lake, near Port Arthur, will also be greatly missed in social cireles. Their many friends will wish them happiness and prosperity ip their new home, To Greate Canadian Cardinal London, July. 4-—The Rome correspondent of the News tele. graphs that the Pope has an- nounced that he will ¢reate a Canadian Cardinal at the next consistory.
