Montgomery, one of the Empire’s easy victims, ad- mits in a letter in to-day’s “News” that the matter is not to be eriticized from a financial point of view. Eix-Ald. Montgomery’s only objection in the matter that the Empire was frozen 1s out. Whether this be true or not the “News” has. no information but it has no hesitation in saying that the mayor of this or any other city should conduct the civ- ic affairs on the same prin- ciples as the manager of any other large corporation. What would the directors and shareholders think of a manager who would hand out business to a concern that was constantly using every effort to bring them wreck and ruin? The Em- pire to give vent to personal animosity, has been doing everything in its power to interfere with the securing of necessary finances’ to carry on urgent work and thus retard the city’s pro- gress. Yet ex-Ald. Mont- gomery would have the ma- yor of this city turn over to such a_ knocker of the city’s interests a portion of the city’s business. The mayor should act in such a matter in accordance with the wishes of the majority who are certainly opposed io seeing the city’s inter- ests hammered as they have been by the organ of a de- feated opponent.

PICTURES THAT TEACH Helpfal Lessons Conveyed to the Public by the “Movies.” Moving pictures were at first largely confined to comical inci- dents and then wild west cowboy scenes until the public grew Lired of being simply amused = and manifested a desire for some- thing that appealed more direct- ly to the intelligence. This was provided in the great spectacular dramas of classie history but, as the appelile grows on that upon which it feeds there next came a call for pictures that really taught something. Then came the pictures of natural history and phenomena and later the in- troduction of social and econo- mie problems. “The Struggle,” a film which is now being run at the Empress, is one of the latter. Tt is of es- pecial passing interest when one reads day by day the incidents of the Nanaimo strike, for this depicts a struggle between the employed and employer which fairly shows the balance of blame on either side, the genesis of the labor trouble and how naturally its inevitable conclusions work themselves out, It is a film that all interested in such struggles should not miss. The Daily Express, an organ of the Conservative party published at Woodstock, Ontario, has ceas- ed publication. It announced that it was unable to exist as a paying proposition. cad E RUPERT MERCHANTS © NEVER ONCE THOUGHT OF THIS VANCOUVER MERCHANTS» LET SEATTLE GET ALL KLONDIKE TRADE BUT DETERMINE TO GO AFTER THAT OF SHUSHANA (Special to The Daily News. Vancouver, August 22—The wholesale merchants, comprising the hardware, grocery and dry- goods businesses, and others met last night to devise some plan by which the trade of the new Shus- hana gold fields shall be secur- ed to Vaneouver instead of its being allowed to go tp Seattle and San Francisco. After the matter had been fully discussed it was decided to request Dr. Cairns, the Dominion geologist who has inspected the district, to deliver an address to the mer- TWO MORE TROPHIES FOR THE EXHIBITION Sterling Silver Challenge Cup and Another Trophy — Funds are in Good Shape more magnificent troph- have been added to the long Two ies list that will of cups, medals and prizes distributed to win- ners at the forthcoming Prince Rupert Exhibition, September 24 to 27th. One is a sterling silver challenge .cup, valued at $60.00 presented by M. M. Stephens for the grandest district display of fruits, vegetables and other agri- cultural products. The cup is a handsome Ornament, standing 14 inches high with staghorn hand- les. It is to become the property of the district winning the first prize two years in succession or any three times. The second gift is from L. Bullock-Webster, the indefatigable secretary of the Northern B. ©, Agricultural and Industrial Association, under whose auspices the fair is to be held. It is offered for the best district collection, of vegetables won on similar lines to the above. Percy F. Godenrath, a member of the advisory board, who has been campaigning for funds here and attending to the publicity department of the fair, left yes- terday for Stewart where he will spend a week working up inter- est in the fair and arranging for a mineral exhibit and agricultur- al display. He will return here next Friday morning to complete the canvass for funds and attend to the publicity work until the fair is over. The total raised to date-is slightly over $6,000, in- cluding the city grant. FINEST RESIDENCE SITES IN THE CITY New Plank Roadways in Section Two Afford Opportunity of See- ing Some Choice Property. be It is likely thal only a very small percentage of the popula- tion of Prince Rupert have ever seen Section Two at close range. Now that the plank roadway is constructed along Atlin avenue, out beyond Seventeenth street, the citizens are supplied with a promenade that for scenic splen- dor is not excelled anywhere on the continent, This avenue over- looks the main entrance to the harbor and affords a magnificent view of the islands that lie in the Metlakatla passage, Digby Island, the quarantine wharf and _ the marine depot. Graham avenue runs between Atlin and the water- front at a much lower level, the land sloping from Atlin to the harbor. That some of the choic- est residential sites in the city are in Section Two on these ave- nues cannot be denied, and when handsome homes are built in that locality the city will present a much improved appearance to passengers on incoming steam- ers. A visit to Section Two can- not but strengthen one’s faith in the future of this promising city, chants immediately after his re- turn from Dawson. After this address and the de- finite information which it is hoped to obtain from Dr Cairns, definite steps will be taken to or- ganize and undertake extensive advertising for the purpose of securing this valuable trade of the north. It is also likely that personal representatives of the merchants will be sent north to urge upon the miners the advantages of sending their gold dust to the local assay office. IS HARRY LAUDER NOW A STRUMMER OF HARPS? Local Men Bet as to Whether the Singer is Still on this Planet Is Harry Lauder dead? That is a point which was the subject of much contention between two men staying at a local hotel yes- terday evening. One man said he had seen the death of the popu- lar singer recorded in a news- paper which he read recently while in the interior. The other was so sure that the singer was alive that he offered to make a bet on it. So they made a good big bet as to whether Harry Lau- der had, or had not, sung his swan song and passed from the country of the bagpipes to the land of harps. The bet was to be decided by a reference to those grey-bearded wiseacres, the edi- tors of the local papers. As soon as The News report- er heard of the story he consult- ed with the whole editorial staff from the managing editor him- self down to the fourth assistant sub-editor, whose sole duty it is to keep a record of cables an- nouncing the deaths of musi- cians, One and all of that illustrious galaxy of journalists expressed themselves as of the opinion that Harry Lauder had not yet joined the immertals save in the opin- ion of his advertising manager. If such a famous singer were to croak, the jarring note would straightway resound through all the corners of the earth. The man who bet on Harry’s demise may safely conclude that his op- ponent was a better bettor than he. Let him theréfore get a pair of pincers, and with one hard tug pull the root of al! evil from his pocket and depart a sadder and wiser man, CHANGES IN GAME LAWS Can Shoot Only Three Deer this Season The most important change in the game laws this year is that the number of deer which may be shot by any individual is reduced from five to three.
