Speedy G. T. P. ‘Liner Takes Her
Run Again After Thorough
Overhaul at Esquimalt

Mr. Beaumont, secretary to
the marine superintendent of the
G. T. P., said in Vancouver that
the steamship Prince George is
now out of the hands of the re-
pairers and overhaulers at Es-
quimalt, and has been taken to
the G, T. P. docks at Victoria for
completion of her fittings and
accommodations, previous to go-
ing into commission again. The
damage caused to the vessel's
hull due to her brush with the
bottom of the First Narrows has
been made as good as new, and
the whole ship has had a thor-
ough overhauling. The George

will go into coramission on Feb-
ruary 1 as scheduled, and the
Prince Rupert will then go into
dock for her overhauls. Mean-
while, the Prince John and
Prince Albert are maintaining
the service efficiently and carry-
ing considerable passenger lists

and freight consignments.

Ottawa, Jan. 28—Mr. Neeley
Humboldt), who rose to move
an amendment to the speech

from the throne with regard to
free wheat, said that despite the
bountiful crop in the west which
afforded an unusually large
amount*of wheat for export, the
government had paid no atten-
tion to the financial revolution
across the line by which a num-
ber of articles we had for export
might have been placed on the
free list. He said it was a mat-
ter of regret that under the Wil-
son ‘tariff it was impossible’ to
ship wheat to the United States
until we gave Americans free
access of their wheat to Canada.
Mr. Neeley said in closing that
when the Wilson tariff came into
force the government’ should
have called a special session of

this and the farmers were left to

Hon. Robert Rogers severely
criticized Sir Wilfrid for allow-
ing a good practice to be broken
by introducing two amendments
to the speech, especially when a
second was on the tariff, mat-
ters which usually are discussed
during the budget debate. He
said when the discussion of such
an important matter takes place
the government will have the
