The occasion may be what it will; it is our duty to be ready to supply you, and we can do it too, With pleasure to you be cause of the size of display; with profit to you because of our ability to sell close. When the gift question pre- sents itself let us show you how easily we can match your ideas. Two by-laws passed their third reading last night after going through the stage of consideration in committee of the whole by the city council. These by-laws were the by-law regulating the duties of city officials, and Mayor Manson's Procedure By-law. In the consideration of the first there was little or no discussion, but Aldermen Newton and Mor- rissey required a good deal of instruction from the Mayor while the clauses of the second were being gone over. They were loth to relinquish the enquiry system. which was a feature of proceedings under the old system. Mayor Manson's idea is to have enquiries made in writing and at least a day's notice of motions given by the use of a notice board at the City Hall. The Mayor said distinctly that he desired to restrict aldermen from rising in their seats and firing off little speeches that led to nothing | definite but, reported in the press, gave the public the impression that the aldermen prone to the habit were taking a vital interest in many matters. He_ hinted rather pointedly that Alderman Newton's eloquence had inclined that way, and that there were others. Alderman Morrissey was evi- dently laboring under the burden- some impression that it would be impossible under the new by-law to bring up an urgent matter without a day's delay. It certain- ily looked as if he were afraid that if the City Hall took fire the council would have to follow the rules of procedure to the bitter end before rising, even if they frizzled in their seats for it, Eventually, however, by means of much patient explanation the | Mayor got the mysteries of his |new by-law into his henchmen’s | heads, and the by-law passed its C.

T. P. Steamer Schedule Beginning at Once A change has been made in the G. T. P. steamer schedule which gives the citizens of Prince Rupert the chance of spending a week-end most conveniently in Stewart, and will also be of benefit in the hand- ling of freight during ‘he mid- week call of the boat from the south, Beginning this week, the Prince Rupert will not go to Stewart on Thursday mornings as formerly, but will remain in Rupert until Friday morning when she leaves for the south. This is found to suit the handling of freight better, the mid-week cargo fro Rupert being usually especially heavy. For this week only the Prince Albert will take the Stewart run on the arrival of the Prince Ru- pert. Afterwards the Prince Geor- ge will take up regular Stewart trips starting Sunday at 8 a.m. and returning to Rupert 6 a.m. Monday. On her trip to Stewart this week. the Prince Albert will take in Port Simpson and the Naas. On Thursday night she will sail for Massett and Naden Harbor re- turning to make her regular con- nections.

Council Appreciates Need, Streets Commoittee Lok into the Matter. Residents of Second avenue have petitioned for permission to con- struct a sidewalk between Seventh and Eighth &treets. They wished to use the lumber taken off the streets during grading. It was pointed out by Alderman Mor- there is hardly any access possible to buildings in that vicinity now in case of fire owing to the state of the streets. and M. Soskin, one of the residents, rissey that made the similar statement. The Mayor remarked that the diff- culty was the fact that these sidewalks have mostly been put in by residents at their own expense including lumber. The lumber asked for was in terms of grading contracts to be replaced by the contractor, The matter goes back to the streets com- mittee which had already reported favoring the sidewalk but refusing the lumber.
