Ross, minister of lands in the Pro- vincial government, is a pleas- ant indication of the fact that the province realizes the great necessities of Prince Rupert and is considering what it can do to assist the city in the present emergency. Prince Rupert is a city in a peculiar position. While it has today only a population of some six thousand souls it has to provide against tomorrow, which will swell the number to sixty thousand. And that to- morrow is rapidly approaching. The statement made yesterday by J. W. Stewart, of Foley Bros., Welch & Stewart, the contrac- tors for the construction of the Grand Trunk Pacific line in this province, that steel would meet steel by next April shows how very near is the great booming time of Prince Rupert. Against this period of rapid growth, necessitated by its po- sition as terminal of the rail- road that will drain the wealthy agricultural and mineral lands of all of Western Canada which is a few hundred miles north of the border, Prince Rupert simply must make some prep- arations. Owing to the present limited number of its citizens it cannot- hope to make those preparations on as big a scale as it would like. Many things which are ordinarily considered as necessaries of a comfortable life it cannot hope now to pro- vide. But there are some things which are vital neces- sities, things which it would be criminal for a city of any considerable size to be with- out. The most important of these are a good sewage sys- tem and an adequate supply of pure water. These the city must have. The peculiar situation of the cily, which makes it appear as if jt is requiring works out of all} proportion to its needs, Prince Has the Largest Circulation in ae Saturday, August 30, 1913. OUR SCIENTIFIC ViSiTORS. THE DAILY Prince Rupert’s Artistic Job Printing {Establishment could not but place it at a great disadvantage in the eyes of the financiers of England, who could hardly be expected to appreciate local conditions. In any case, during the present remarkably depressed condition of the money market it is next to impossible for the younger cities to market their deben- tures. Under these circumstances if is but natural for the Provin- cial government to come to the aid of what will shortly be one of the greatest cities under its domain, a city in whieh, more- over, it has a very lucrative in- terest. The arrival here of Hon. Mr. Ross, who has come to estimate the extent of the city’s needs, is the best of evi- dence that the province is pre- pared to fulfill its duty by giv- ing the required assistance. 0——— Prince Rupert is indeed for- tunate today in having its guests a party of distinguished geologists, gathered from all parts of the world. This city, which is itself a pioneer out- post of civilization in the world of action, would always wel- come gladly any assemblage of distinguished scientists, for these are pioneers of civiliza- as tion in the world of thought. It has, however, a_ special pleasure. in receiving a party of world known geologists, for it believes that to them more than to others it can reveal the rich future which time has in store for it. It is to be. hoped that our visitors during their brief sur- vey of the surrounding coun- try will be able to form some estimate of the great wealth of minerals which Northern Brit- ish Columbia is certain soon to produce. They will then, too, realize how great is this one of the many factors which will contribute to making Prince Rupert one of the proudest cities of the Pacific. Northern British Columbia NEWS HUNUUACESTGAOGOUAESOOUACAEOUAGEEUOAOSOOUUTALLUUA | | THE DAILY NEWS WAS ELECTED The Hague, Aug. 24.—The chief work of the Twentieth Universal Peace Congress at its opening session here was the adoption of three resolutions dealing with disarmament. The first con- tained a request that the question of the restriction of armaments be included in the program of the next international Hague conference. The second pro- tested against the sinister in- fluence of persons interested in armament industries. The third recommended the consideration by peace societies of the draft of a general agreement for gradual disarmament. Professor Quidde, of the University of Munich, pro- posed this resolution in order that the next conference shall be in a position to discuss the sub- ject will full information at hand. All the civilized nations are represented, the delegates in at- tendance numbering 950, many of whom are women pacificists. Premier Heemskert, of The Netherlands, extended a welcome to the delegates. Professor De Loutre of Utrecht was elected president of the con- gress. In his inaugural address he proposed the idea of a super- national organization for the or- ganization for the bringing about of peace. This, he contended, would only be aecomplished by the development of international law with absolute independence for individual states, Interna- tionalism and patriotism were not, Professor De Loutre thought, incompatible. Other speakers claimed that in spite of recent events in the Bal- kans the idea of universal peace clearly was possible. During the session compliments were show- ered on Andrew Carnegie and his late fellow worker, T. M. C, Asser, minister of state, and delegate to The Netherlands to the first and second Hague Peace Con- ferences, who died on July 29. The congress adopted a reso- lution that the differences be- tween the United States and Great Britain regarding the Panama Canal act should be referred to The Hague court for arbitration. In his presidential address, Professor De Loutre referred to the United States as the foremost THE LATEST FASHIONS DISARMAMENT DISCUSSED AT UNIVERSAL PEACE CONGRESS ALL CIVILIZED NATIONS WERE REPRESENTED AT RECENT CONFERENCE AT HAGUE—PROF. DE LOUTRE , nation ;and to the Palace of Peace as an PRESIDENT. in the peace movement expression of homage from the | new world to the old world. He said that while the east was shrouded in darkness, the star of hope was ever brightening in the west. Professor Quidde in moving his resolution severely blamed Ger- many for the last increase in armaments in Europe. He said there would have been no_ in- crease by France but for the aec- tion of Germany. Much indignation has been ex- pressed by the delegates at the failure to invite them to the opening of the peace palace. Not one of them originally was invited to the ceremony and after pres- sure had been applied only four have received invitations. Peace Congress Adjourns. The Hague, Aug. 23,—The Twentieth Universal Peace Con- gress held its closing sitting in the Knights Hal! today. The delegates voted to hold the next congress al Vienna in 1914, and it was decided to take to that con- gress the invitation of the mayor of San Francisco to hold the 1915 congress in San Francisco, ARTIST DROWNED Edmund Montague Morris Lost Life at Port Neuf.
