Merchant Pays Big Tribute to Condition of Prince Rupert. “In my opinion Prince Rupert is at present the most flourish- ing town in British Columbia,” said KE. W. Leeson, wholesale grocer of Vancouver, to The News. Mr. Leeson has just re- turned south after his first visit to Prinee Rupert this year. He has been up here looking after his timber interests, Mr. Leeson expressed great surprise at finding Prince Rupert in such a flourishing condition during a time of such general depression as the present. He thinks this prosperity must be in great measure due to the big pay rol] here. On inquiring from different sources, he discovered that this amounted to no less than a quarter of a million dol- lars a month. The Grand Trunk Pacific alone pays out, he said, $100,000 a month in wages here. Mr. Leeson made special mark on the facet that the city’s present prosperity was not of the mushroom kind, Prince Rupert seemed to him to have settled down to a condition of stable progress, a thing which he was very glad to see. re- The Sunday school of the First Baptist Chureh will hold” their third annual pienic at Metlakatla on Thursday, Augusl 2ist.

The Prinee Rupert fishing in- dustry, or rather one staple in- dustry growing out of it, is to rave one of the best kinds of ad- verlising, and at the Toronto fair at that. The enterprising citizen who is doing this is a pioneer of the city and one of the few experts in handling fish—Mr. William Shrubsall. He sent by the Do- minion Express on the steamer Prince Rupert about two hundred pounds of smoked fish delicacies for exhibition at Toronto's great fair. A number of prominent people were down at the Shrubsall smoke house yesterday afternoon to see these dainties being put up, among them being A. T. Williams, dominion inspector of fisheries.; J. M. Claney, manager of the Bank of Montreal; T. H. Johnson, of the great importing and ex- porting fish curing establishment of Hull, England; George Nichol- son, manufacturers’ agent; Mar- tin O'Reilly, R. Robertson, Mr. Sharp of Port Simpson and many others. The fish to be exhibited were sampled and the curing pro- nounced to be excelient, and the dainty way in which the exhibits were put up was declared to be excellent. Tt is believed that this one exhibit at a point as import- ant Toronto will prove a sur- prise when it is known that the fish was cured and put up six hundred miles from a_ railway, and that a great and growing trade will result, cutting out some of that now done by Germany the Dominion, as Knights Chose Los Angeles Denver, Colo., Aug. 16—-Los Angeles, California, was selected us the meeting place for the thirty-third triennial conclave of Knights Templar in 1916, on the first ballot.

There are stories circulating that the vessel was employed to smuggle Chinese into the coun- try, but there were no Chinese on board nor any sign of any. The vessel, which is three masted, is now lying off Digby Island. ‘The officers of the ves- sel, when interviewed for The News, said that they expected to take her south tomorrow after- noon, as they had received a cablegram from the owners ask- ing them to proceed as soon as possible to New Westminster. It was rumored that there was some irregularity about the ship’s clearance papers’ from Yokohama, but these were found by the customs officers to be all right, except that they were in Japanese.

Not until the crazed surgeon had undertaken to per- form vivisection on a patient was it realized by the attendants in the operating room that madness was directing the arms and scal- pel as it sought to uncover vital organs. Dr. Dabney entered practice in Marietta about fifteen years ago. He made a specially of eye, ear and throat operations. For several months previous to his mental collapse and the startling revelations of his con- dition, rarely a day passed that he did not perform two or three difficult operations. It was the death on the operat- ing table of an aged and wealthy farmer, Jacob F, Schaad, that brought Dr. Dabney's career to a climax. Schaad had a tumorous growth on his upper jaw, He consulted Dr, Dabney and was as- sured that a minor operation would remove the disfigurement. Besides Dr. Dabney and the nurse there were present when Schaad FISH THAT WARBLE Langara Fishermen Lulied to Sleep by Ragtime. H. L. Clayburg, the efficient teacher of the Indian school, came in from Naden Harbor Saturday and will resume his duties at Old Masset in a week or two, Mr, Clayburg has spent the summer alternately in fishing for salmon and teaching the young Haidas the King’s English. He made good in both arts. He has visited many climes and seen many strange things, but the strangest of all, he says, was the «school of singing fish that appeared this summer off Langara Island, The fish entertained the fishermen every night, lulling them to sleep with ragtime music, with an oec- casional classic, All efforts to capture the fish and ascertain the source of melody were futile, The Indians were awed by the un- natural occurrence, but consider it a good Omen,——Masset Leader, MAD PHYSICIAN ATEMPTS TO VIVISECT HIS PATIENT PERFORMED MANY DIFFICULT OPERATIONS SUDDENLY BECOMES INSANE. lapsed into unconsciousness un- der the influence of anaesthetics Dr. C. B, Ballard and Dr. J. C. Penrose. As Dr. Dabney pro- ceeded with the knife the two sur- geons detected that there was something wrong and both began to remonstrate. Dr. Dabney be- came angry and ordered them from the room. When the two doctors had left, according to the story of the nurse who. had re- mained trembling beside the un- conscious patient, Dr. Dabney began to dissect the face and throat of the unconscious man. Both sides of the face were laid open and deep incisions werm made in the throat. But the skill of the mad surgeon was shown in the dexterity with which he avoided inflicting a _ fatal wound on his living subjeet. How far the crazed surgeon would have proceeded with the dissection cannot be told, for the horrified nurse ran shrieking from the room. Her cries brought Doctors Ballard and Penrose with several of the hospital attendants to the rescue, and Dr. Dabney, by this time a raving maniac, brandish- ing his sealpel over the uncon- scious subject, was disarmed and subdued, but only after a desper- ate struggle. TO ENJOIN RAILWAY From Running on Main Street of Fort George. Vancouver, Aug. 16.—An_ in- junction to prevent the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway from con- tinuing its transcontinental lines along the main street of the town- site of Fort George was applied for, and was refused in Supreme Court chambers this morning by Mr. Justice Morrison, The Fort George Townsite Company were the applicants, and argued that the railway line coming where it does at present would do’a great deal of damage to the townsite company’s property. Owing to the fact that there was no one present to present the railway’s side of the case his lordship de- cided to refuse the injunetion until the railway has been noti- fied and a defence put in,
