MonpbDaAy, May 29 It will be gratifying news to the citizens, and especially to those whose daily occupations make them liable to become the victims of accident, to know that a sum of five hundred dollars is in the possession of Dr. Eggert, as the gift of the Grand Trunk Pacific railway company towards the purchase of an ambulance. For his service in laying the needs of the city in this respect before his company, General Su- perintendent Mehan, jointly with the G. T. P. is deserving of thanks. In due time Dr. Eggert will of course, lay the matter before the Hospital Board, and notify them officially that the money is in his possession. In the meantime, owing to the daily risk that is being run, and the great urgency of the case, the public will be quite justified in acting as if official notification has been given, and make the nec- essary arrangements to procure an ambulance. Every day's delay means the risk of a repetition of the heart-rending sight of a couple of weeks ago, when injured men screaming with pain were borne through the streets on a common jolting dray. Every day's delay is a menace to the comfort and perhaps the life of anyone of us. The cost of a properly equipped ambulance is placed at an ap- proximate figure of $1,000. The Grand Trunk Pacific has ,set the pace by subscribing half the amount. We have got as it were, half an ambulance. Who will subscribe the other half? This is not a case where the hospital board should go round hat in hand asking for contributions. It is a case where the duty is clearly laid upon the whole body of citizens to provide assistance for its helpless and injured members. It is as clearly a duty for the city to provide a proper conveyance for its injured contributories, as it is to provide a medical officer to protect the general health. It should not be made a matter of charity. It is a matter of civic duty—one of those utilities, which because they are of collective use, should be collectively pur- chased out of the public funds. ; It is an open secret that the recent manoeuvreing of the Hospital Board to appoint an ‘honorary president,”’ is merely a device to give voting power to Mr. William Manson, thus to enhance that gentle- man’s prestige. If the city council was to get busy at its meeting tonight and vote a sum of $500 to complete the sum requisite for the purchase of an ambulance, public sentiment would be so grateful, that probably no hostility would be aroused if the act was followed by the admission of Mr. William Manson to voting power, without] %, any jugglery or manoeuvring. the desired enhancement by the act. Public opinion—humane public opinion—is demanding an ambu- lance. The Grand Trunk Pacific on its own volition, on the recom- mendation of Gen. Supt. Mehan has acted very promptly and gen- erously in the matter. Itisnow up to the city council to do the rest. H. F. McRAE F. R. C. BROWN H. F. McRae & Co.

The party of fifteen white men will be in charge of Noel J. Oglivie of Ottawa, who has had a great dea! of experience along the northern frontier during the past five yeras. The route inland to the -bound- ary and on to the base of Mt. Elias, which towers to a height of 19,000 feet, is about forty miles. It extends along the famous Male- spina glacier which begins at the water's edge. There is little like- lihood of the surveyors reaching Mount St. Elias this season. It will be an uphill ascent over ice- fields all the way. Every member of the party will be attired in winter clothing to withstand the cold weather. Sledges will be utilized in packing in instruments and supplies. The glacier extends right up from the foot of the mountain and abounds in dangerous cre- vasses. In making their way inland from the sea, Mr. Oglivie and all the members of the party will be roped. The survey line will be determined by triangulation and a series of photos will form a part of the official record for both governments. It has been deemed unwise to plant boundary monuments owing to the slow movement of the glacier.

INDIAN CHIEF _ DISAPPEARS Moses Shakes of Wrangell Miss- ing from His Boat, Yankee Moses Shakes, son of Chief Shakes of Wrangell, mysteriously disappeared from his gasboat, Yan- kee, up the Stikine River. The boat was closely examined by the party of hunters that camped close by, and Moses’ hat, coat, shoes and empty purse were found in the boat. The wiring of the engine was tangled and disconnected and a closer search disclosed bolld spots on the en- gine, floor, sidewalk and bedding. After a thorough search for the body the party returned to Wran- gell and reported the facts to Chief Shakes and the officials. That evening the party of hunt- ers together with Chief Shakes and George Shakes, went back to Andrews Creek to make am ore thorough search for the body but failed to recover it.

Larry Lajoie is not really popular any place, although his ability is not questioned. Ty Cobb has earned the rep of being pig-headed and the fans are generally pulling for him to make an error or strike out, but in Philadlephia, New York, Brooklyn, Boston and other to| places the bugs are eager to see Wag knock the ball out of the lot, even though ‘the turning of such a trick means dire disaster to the home team. They all have a warm spot for the lumbering German and when he quits base- ball the National League will lose its highest trump, MUST HAVE THE RAILWAY HERE Clift Ford's Views on Prince Ru- pert Red Hot his Morning Mr. Clift Ford, the English financier whose wide interests in Prince Rupert are well known, arrived by the Prince George this morning, in company with Mr. 0. M. Helgerson. Talking to the Daily News, he remarked that his visit is one of investigation with a view to pos- sible further investment. He is likely to go up river as far as Hazelton if time permits. Re- garding Rupert itself, Mr. Ford is most optimistic, but his ex- perience as a financier leads him to avoid any tendency to hope for a wild boom, but rather to expect the steady upward progress of the city. “One thing I do say,” he re- marked. ‘‘You must have a rail- way here before the great mass of Eastern and British capital will flow in in any great quantity. Until the railway is through there can be no phenomenal movement. If there were it would not be good for the city.” Oh, You Cupid! Mr. Ray Bowers, who has been for some time with Mr. C. B. Wark, left for a trip south last week. A well founded rumor has it that when he returns he will have a bride with him.

A Great iskicaids On another page wil be found an advertisement of the ‘New International’’ Webster's Unabrig- ged Dictionary. This is a reminder that the English language is being added to yearly, so that even the awe-inspiring sheepskin-covered tome which for years has been known as Webster's Unabridged, has to be added to by some seven hundred pages of words and il- lustrations and revised meanings. The New International has only been completed a few months, and supersedes the International edi- tion of 1890. In looking about for the most complete and au- thoritative dictionary on the mar- ket, the Daily News has selected the New International for use in its own Office.
