The city engineer, Mr. Mason, was asked to give his opinion, He said that if the money were got now it would take from a year and a half to two years to construct the sewers. @ They would then be very badly needed, as the city would be two or three times larger. If they were not constructed there would likely be such an outbreak of. disease that the men who had obstructed work of construction branded “wholesale would be as mur- derers.”’ As to the Morse that could be expense of not or so at present, but in a year or Creek outlet, constructed at an more than $6,000 so, when the railway had eleven tracks over there, it would be hard to estimate how much it would cost, Atderman Kerr said he thought the sewers should be pul first, then the questions of water and of the hydro-electric.

Dybhavn and City Solicitor Peters Will Be Sent as Delegates. and F, solicitor, Alderman Dybhayn Peters, K. G., the cily will be sent to represent the cily of Prince Rupert at the union of British Columbia municipalities. This was the decision of the city council at its meeting last even- The resolve was not carried ing. without considerable discussion, Alderman Bullock - Webster asked why two people should be sent to represent the city instead of one. This doubled the expense, although this was, he admitted, not very great. Alderman Naden pointed out that smaller places than Prince Rupert and at a greater distance from the place of meeting sent two representatives. It would not look well if Prinve Rupert could not send two, The mayor thought that in ad- dition to the city solicitor one of s of the the elected representative citizens, such as Alderman Dyb- havn, should be sent. Alderman Kerr said that he had happened to be in Revelstoke last year when the representa~ tives of the municipalities were meeting. He noticed then that all the municipalities were repre- senved, excepling only Prince Rhu. pert, The motion was carried. THE TABLES TURNED That the Evening Empire is ever ready to deceive its readers on public issues in order that its editor may be made to appear a great safe guard to the city’s interests is too well known to re- quire additional evidence. In one of its most recent attempts the Empire was itself a ready victim, Com- menting on ex-Ald. Mont- gomery’s letter of a few days ago im regard to the city advertising the Empire said “Tf further proof were needed, it supplied this very morning, when the gang’s morning pap-fed suckling came out with near ly a column of advertising for ‘which no competition was sought.” As a matter of fact the advertising in question was neither order- ered nor paid for by the city. The Empire should take a lesson from.being 80 fooled and cease try- is easily ing to fool others.

Alderman Bullock - Webster, the would-be Sherlock Holmes of the council chamber, must have his say on this and deliver him- self of his suspicions. “T suspect,” he said, “that the reason for Mr. Vance’s resigna- tion was that he felt that Mr. Johnson, while a good man, was being gradually pushed into his own position. “IT would propose that a city treasurer be odyertised for and I would make a motion to the ef- tion should be balloted on.” fect that candidates for the posi- This motion was seconded by Alderman Maitland, In amendment is was moved by Alderman McCaffery and seconded by Alderman Naden that the re- port be adopted as it stood (rec- ommending Mr. Johnson).

Thaw, the fugitive from the United States, will be able to remain in Canada until long after snow flies. There is the deepest inter- est taken in this international case and a big crowd of special correspondents from the leading newspapers both of the United States and Ganada are here to watch it and are already wiring columns prophesying its prob- able outeome. Thaw will probably never have a hearing on the habeas corpus writ procured by his ceunsel, as it understood that when the hearing is called before the su- preme court tomorrow the habeas corpus proceeding will be dropped. The latest proposal is Que., is believed Is ‘ ‘ STATES GOVERNMENT, FOUGHT THEIR CASE FROM CANADA. to have the writ withdrawn and permit Thaw to face trial on the defective charge on which he was committed to jail by Justice Dupius at Coaticook. In this event Thaw would be sent before a magistrate and select the method of his trial, whether it should be by jury or by the court without jury. Should he elect a trial by jury his case would not ordinarily come up before autumn, and a month or more of delay would consequently result. Whatever the verdiet, many months, per- haps years, of litigation could follow in appeals of the verdict. During the life of this litiga- tion Thaw could remain in Can- ada, his lawyers believe, and they cite the case of Gaynor and Greene, who remained in Canada for years while their counsel fought legal proceedings to bring them back to the United States.
