Mr. Warner is able to market
produce now in Rupert. This
shows that his confidence in the
conditions there is not misplaced.
Near by his ranch is that of W.
Sims whose garde he says is even
more promising. The Govern-

Bay district or his enthusiasm
for Porcher Island might have
been still more marked. ‘The
ground more than repays labor

Warner. His own training in
English gardens, and in the
peach country at St. Catherines,
Ontario, has been of, great
assistance to him. Pea vines
grow to a height of from three to
four feet on Porcher Island) and
flowers of the kind usually believed
to flourish only in California thrive
hardily here too. The California
poppies Mr. Warner raised last
summer were perfect.

run no lines, and the result is
that a settler may easily.spend

there is no return in cash or kind.
Mr. Warner has repeatedly ap-

of it are tied up by timber limits
granted by the Provincial Govern-
ment. Land here has been sold
for as little as a dollar an acre
chiefly to speculators in the United
States and the East who will
wait until the toil of a few pre-

their lands and then sell at many
dollars per acre thus reaping the
advantage of the enterprise and
energy of the few hardy men who

| Handasyde & Hurt Will Supply

Sewer Pipe

Messrs. Handasyde & Hurt get
the contract for a small quantity
of sewer pipe required. by the
city. Its cost is $2660 according
to their price. Other bidders
were the Prince Rupert Hardware
Co. $2930, and the Kaien Hard-
ware Co. $2862.80. This matter
was embodied in a report by the

' “+ - . .
City Engineer to the council on

Monday night.

Temporarily the city garbage
scow will be moored at the Davis
wharf. The nuisance caused by
the dumping of garbage through
a trap door on the G. T. P. wharf
has got too bad for the long-
suffering company and the civic
sniff yacht is on the tide ready
for action. The question was
asked for how long shall the Davis
wharf be used? and Alderman
Kirkpatrick suggested that Mr.
Davis should be roped in for it
for a year before he gets a chance
to smell the scow for a month.
The matter remains to be settled
by the committee.
