Bank of Wont- real ELEVATOR IS SILENT Wheat May Never Be Shipped From Here Again For All the Information Available Offices of the Alberta Wheat Pool here arc absolutely silent as far as any information with regard to disposal of the wheat with which the house Is full ,ls concerned. As the shipping season advannccs, it becomes increasingly apparent that the Pool is using the local elevator merely for storage purposes and it may just as well be next . winter as this when any shipments will be made. The wheat is kept dry and clean here and a year's age more or less may not hurt It much., This Is little comfort, however, to all local people who would like to see the house working steadily instead of remaining idle as Jt is today.

If this does not happen, it will not be the fauk of the Fair Board. At its meeting last night, it was decided, on the joint recommendation of the finance and sports and attractions committee, to set aside $2000 for the purpose of financing the scheme. Of this sum of $2000, there will be $500 given in prizes, of which $250 will be for the best overture and $250 for the best march, the number of en- tries to be limited to six. In order to help Interest the natives in the event, the sum of $200 will be given each band attending, : if living within 50 miles of Prince i Rupert, and if further away than that each will get $250. If a band Is good enough it may not only receive the $250, but win the two! prizes, thus securing $750 for itself. Each band must have 20 or more players and a native conductor, and It will be expected to play at Intervals throughout the week of the fair. Entries will close June 1. This is the greatest inducement the Indians have ever received to take part in a fair at Prince Rupert. It means that the city will be extending Itself to the limit and other attractions may have to be pruned considerably in order to make up for the expenditure.

Limlatlon of lock exchange memberships to in-' livlduals and partnerships, In order o prevent brokers from shielding hemselves behind company organ izations in the event of fraud, was )roposcd by Hon. R. H. Pooiey, attorney-general, in the legislature on Tuesday afternoon, in moving the second reading of the bill to control brokerage operations. "It Is the Individual we are after and I do not think Joint stock companies should be allowed to carry on as members of stock exchanges," Mr. Pooiey said. Where a private Individual was responsible on the exchange, the parent firm should be in partnership, he declared. The bill, wnile far reaching, might be tightened up later to effect this change after the house had ample time to consider it in all it phases, he attorney-general said. As an Indication of the drastic scope of the bill, Mr. Pooiey said that it gave the government the power to create new charges at any time. FUNERAL TODAY The funeral of the late Edward A. Hudson.
