HOW MEMORY FAILS.

“Anything is better than
suspense,” says jhe Evening
Empire of yesterday, in an

attempt to be humorous in

criticizing Mayor Pattullo
for holding over until to-
night the announcement of
the result of his recent
financia] mission. ‘The edi-
tor of that paper has evi-
dently forgotten his gloomy

secretiveness when as mayor
of this city he returned from

his important mission to
Victoria last spring. He
must also have forgotten
the harmony that prevailed
among his Own aldermen as
a result of that secrecy.

FOR STEWART VISITORS HOTEL PLANS T0 BE
Change in Steamship Schedule SHOWN TOMORROW

May Be Arranged.
Sree Joint Meeting of Associations of
Business Men to See the
Plans.

 

 

 

 

 

In order to make it more con-
venient for people from the north
to attend, the Prince Rupert exhi-
bition, it is ‘possible that the G.
T. P. will so arrange its steam-
ship schedule for the week that
the visitors from Stewart will be
able to return to their own town
after spending two days at the
fair. Under the present system
they would have to spend a week
in Prince Rupert. This long stay
might prove such an inconveni-
ence to some of the visitors as
to deter them from coming at all.
The committee of the exhibition
have therefore asked the G,. T. P.
to make this change, which is at
present under consideration.

 

The mass meeting of business
and professional men to view the
plans of the new G. T. P. hotel,
which was planned by General
Superintendent Mehan, will be
held tomorrow evening in - the
council chamber of the city hall.
The members of the city council,
the board of trade, the real es-
tate exchange, the press afid
business and professional men
generally have been invited to at-
tend. At this meefing the plans
of the hotel will be shown and
fully explained. They will be ex-
hibited at a later date to the gen-
eral public.
