favored the immediate

tendance, that it would be futile
to ereet a small building. The
only thing to face is a large

building in the very near future,
but the present was not an aus-
picious time.

Them the building of af least a
manse was proposed. This was
opposed by Rey. F. W. Kerr, who
felt that a church was the first
consideration, and that he was
willing to put up with any per-

sonal inconvenience rather than
over-burden the people. Against

this it was urged that to pay in-
terest on a building would be less
than to pay rent for another
man’s house and lot together. Mr
D. C. McRae strongly advocated
a campaign to abolish the pre-
sent indebtedness on the  pro-
perty.

Finally a division was called
for and the vote was almost un-
animous in favor of proceeding
at once with the erection of a
manse.

The site of the Presbyterian
church and manse will be one of
the finest in the city, command-
ing a magnificent view of the
harbor, and at the same time be-
ing easily accessible from both
the business and residential sec-
tions.

As additional evidence of out-

Rupert another large dry goods
store is to be established in this

city. Some months ago Pride,
Nash & Co., of Stettler, Alta.,
wrote to Harrison, Gamble & Co.
seeking information as to the
field for another store. As a re-
sult of the information given Mr.
Nash came here a couple of
months ago to look over the sit-
uation and make arrangements
for premises. The prospects
looked so encouraging that a de-
cision was reached to open up
and the premises lately occupied
by the Prince Rupert Hardware &
Supply Co., on Third avenue,
were secured temporarily. Mr.
A. W. Pride, senior member of
the firm, arrived in the city yes-
terday and on the same boat a
large portion of the new stock
ordered specially for their store
here. The freight alone on the
goods arriving yesterday amount-
ed to nearly a thousand dollars.

Carpenters are at work today
putting the store in shape to re-
ceive and properly display the
goods.

Pride, Nash & Co, conduct one
of the leading stores in Stettler,
and it is their intention to make
their store here an up-to-date
departmental establishment. The
temporary premises -have been
leased until August next. In the
meantime larger and more suit-
able premises will be arranged
for.

FORTS FOR PROTECTION OF
READY CONSTRUCTED

New York, Oct. 6, — United
States army officers have begun
to prepare the special tackle and
machinery which will be needed
to handle at the piers here the
big guns which will be sent on a
ship to the Panama Railroad and
Steamship Company this month
to the fortifications at the en-
trances to the Panama Canal.
The guns for the Pacific forts
will go first. They are one four-
teen inch gun with several six
inch rifles. The other fourteen
inch gun and the sixteen inch
one, which are now being manu-
factured, will not be ready for
several months.

It has been found advisable to
send these guns by sea from New
York, even though they are in-
tended for the forts at the Pa-
cific end of the eanal. At Cris-
tobal they will be put on cars
constructed specially for them
and taken across the isthrous.
The cradles and carriages for
the larger guns have been cast |

 

the shops at Gorgona, and have
been ready for more ihan a

SIDER THOSE OF THE DO
DISAPPOINTMEN

London, Oct. 6.—The Daily
Telegraph in an article this
morning says it understands the
government has no intention of
calling a general imperial
ference. The announcement,
which; it is claimed, is made on
the highest authority, has occa-
sioned widespread disappoint-
ment, even more marked in the
overseas dominions than in the
mother country.

In Canada, New Zealand, Aus-
tralia, South Africa, responsible
ministers have openly expressed
their hope that His Majesty's
government would recognize the
importance of immediate con-
sullation between the different
sections of the Empire, with a
view to concerted action, and the
Daily Telegraph, in reviewing
the situation, adds:

“So strong are the arguments
for a conference that the colonial
press, apparently with full knowl-
edge that representations had

PREPARING 10 SHIP BIG GUNS
TO PROTECT THE PANAMA CANAL

THE PACIFIC ENTRANCE AL-
ON THREE ISLANDS IN

THE BAY OF PANAMA.

Fortifications of the Panama
Canal has in view two points:
First, making it impossible for
an enemy in time of war to take
possession of the waterway, and,
second, making it impossible to
injure it to such an extent that it
eould not be used by the navy of
the United States. There is one
other way in which the canal
could be made useless as an in-
strument in the hands of the
United States, and that is by
blockade. The forts cannot pre-
vent this, the authorities say.
Nothing but a strong navy can
be of avail in such a case, they
assert.

The forts at the Pacific en-
trance are being constructed on
three islands in Panama Bay at
the very beginning of the canal,
Flamenco, Perico and MNaos.
These islands are great masses
of voleanic rock. Behind these
rock walls, the men are safe from
the fire of any ship, no matter
how near the ships stand. A
whole fleet within a mile of these
islands could keep up a steady
fire and not injure the forts or
the men in them.

been made to the imperial goy-
ernment by several of the Do-
minion cabinets, had taken it for
granted that the ministers of the
Empire would confer next month.
“In several of the dominions
discussions of the naval prob-
lems for weeks past have pro-
ceeded on the confident assump-
tion that the gathering would
take place and it will therefore
be learned, overseas, with poig-
nant regret, that Premier As-
quith, who has the first and last
word on the subject by virtue of
his powers as chairman-of the
committee of imperial defence,
has decided against the proposal.
“In the meantime individual
ministers have received invita-
tions to meet the committee of
imperial defence, the admiralty
and the war office and it is un-
derstood that Hon. George Perley,
minister without portfolio in
Premier Borden's cabinet, will
confer with the admiralty re-
garding the impasse in Canada.”
