C. member would smile at such a statement. Applied to Rupert “I want to pass over that insulting suggestion of the Con- servative party's that the Liberals because they want reciprocity. I want to take this statement of Mr. Clements’ about beans because it the most perfect sample of high protection I ever heard. Just apply it to Prince Rupert: A sixty cent duty on beans will compel you to buy your beans in Ontario. There is no doubt about that. If you rear astariff wall high enough it will certainly divert trade into unnatural channels. How does that apply to Prince Rupert?

An exhibition of fine films amused the audience before the meeting opened, and the distribution of the pamphlet entitled ‘What Mr. Clemerts Will Do for Prince Rupert’’ caused huge merriment for when opened, its eight peges were found to contain—Nothing!

Mr. Ross's programme had been apnourced up river by that time ard he could not wait’ to meet Mr. Clements then, but Mr. Clements hed had full and ample time in which to arrenge to meet Mr. Ross had he desired to do so. The Chairman regretted that Mr. Clements had seen his way to go up’ river at this time, but hoped some one elese in the hall might be there to represent him. There was no reply, ard Dr. Kergin went on to draw instances from the present campaign showing how the reci- procity issue is really apart from perty policy or prejudice, and how vain is the cry of disloyalty used by anti-reciprocity men against the loyal Liberals standing up for their country’s commercial expansion. Our First Mayor A good speech was given by Fred Stork, first mayor of Prince Rupert, fresh from his tour of Europe. Very aptly he quoted in reference to the absent chal- lenger Clements the rhyme: : CONTINUED ON PAGE 4 ON REEF (Canadian Press Despatch) Seattle, Sept. 18.—The steamer Ramona a total wreck off Spanish Island, Alaska.

(By Wireless to the News) At seven o'clock last night the News received the following dis- patch from Mr. Hallett, wireless operator of the steamship Ra- mona, giving news and perticulars of the wreck of that vessel: On Board Steamship North- western for Seattle—We struck a reef off Spanish Island at 8.30 Sunday night, in a thick fog. No lives were lost but’ the ship is a total wreck. On Monday morn- ing nothing was left of her above water but her smokestack and masts. She knocked her bottom out and her timbers were floating all around her before we got the boats into the water. She slid off the reef into deep water fifteen minutes after she struck. The capiain, steward, pilot and chief engineer are stand- ing by the wreck. All the passengers and crew on board this boat, steamer Northwestern, bound for Seattle.

They left the captain and his companions stand- ing by. The wireless operator of the Ramona was at work until the water put out the fires and cut off his power. Operator Northwestern Triangle Wireless Station, Sept. 13, 11.30 a.m.—The wrecked Ra- mona carried $105,000 in gold dust and a large amount of mail. This was not recovered. We spoke the steamer Northwestern in Milbank Sound at 11.10 and obtained the information that ef- forts are being made to recover the gold and mail, and it is believed these efforts will have successful results. : The wireless operator of the Prince Rupert, which arrived this morning, had not heard of the wreck until the steamer was tied up here. The Ramona belongs to the Pacific Coast Steamship Company and was put on the Skagwayrun to take the place of the company’s wrecked excursion steamer Spo- kane. The company has another large steamer ready to take the plece of the Ramona.
