May 1 During the late campaign William Manson promised that the Provincial government would lend assistance for the build- ing of a highway around Kaien Island. Prince Rupert needs a boulevard, macadamized, broad and of low p&Prentage grade, serving the commercial interests about to be established at Por- poise Harbor, as well as giving to Prince Rupert a scenic asset unparalleled on the Pacific Coast. It is a projéct of moment, and with concerted and united effort something could possibly be atcomplished before the present year is at an end. INSPECTION OF EXPLOSIVES. Explosives have from the first played a very important part in the development of Prince Rupert. In view of the fact that a number of lives have been lost during the course of the rail- way and other development work undertaken so far, and that only the other night the city found itself under liability to sup- port a workman injured by a shot which had apparently hung fire while more grading work is also about to be undertaken, the following from the Canadian Mining Journal has a consider- able local bearing: ‘‘According to the report of the Chief In- spector of Mines for Ontario 50 per cent. of the fatalilies in the mines of Ontario for 1911 were due to explosives. The report further states: ““There has never been in Canada any legislation dealing with the inspection explosives, which matter coming within the jurisdiction of the Federal government. At present anyone who has a substance that will explode may sell it, if he can get a buyer. Before the quality of the explosive is proven accidents may result. It is not only the small dealer who needs inspection, but also the large producers. In the competition for making sales and the desire for large profits, the grade of the explosive may not be kept up to the standard. Improper mixing, improper proportion of ingredients, improper packing, all tend to render the explosive unsafe and to increase the accident rate. of is a Old explosives that have been in storage for more than a year are sometimes shipped into the less accessible camps in the winter time, and have to be used by the mining companies dur-* ing the summer, as no others can be obtained. When an acci- dent occurs now from an explosive there is no way by which this explosive may thoroughly tested to ascertain wherein the fault lies.’ “We regret’ to note that the session of the Dominion par- liament has come to a close without taking up the question of the inspection of explosives. This neglect is inexcusable. Even while parliament was in session the country was shocked to hear where some four- be of a premature explosion near Fort Frances, teen men while engaged on railway construction lost their lives. ; ; : 1 “We would urge that the explosives bill be prepared during the recess and brought up at the next session at the earliest possible moment, In the meantime all arrangements should be made by the mines branch to have the bill brought into operation at an early date after its passage.” WANTED: We have an immediate purchaser for one or two good lots in Sections Five and Six.

Chicago, April 29.—Dr. Beattie Nesbitt, who is under forgery charges in connection with the Farmers’ Bank of Toronto, has declared his willingness to waive examination before United States Commissioner Foote and return to Canada to face his accusers. This arrangement is not satis- factory to W. D. Greer, of the In- vestigating department of On- tario Provincial Police, who in- sisted that Nesbitt be examined. Mr. Greer announced that if Nes- bitt was dismissed by the Federal commissioner he would rearrest him on a warrant-charging him with making false and deceptive statements to the ister’ of Finance president and a director Toronto bank, It was expected that the Can- adian physician-banker would go before Commissioner Foote on Saturday and declare his willing- ness to return to Toronto. while he was of the For row boats and launches telephone 320 green.

New York, April 29.—Even the immigrants from the Titanie’s steerage have not been exempt from the lures of New York. Mrs. Edward R. Hewitt, chairman of committee, has made the fol- lowing statement: “A thing which is gratifying and for which we are thanking God is that we lost none of the girls in our care. We found in the confusion five or six men at different times trying to lure away innocent girls who could speak no English and were easy prey for the plausible white slaver, . “We would see one of these men talking. to a fresh faced girl and all we had to do to scare him off was to ask him whether he knew the gir! or was a rela- tive, “Bach proved his cowardice by hardly answering and. slinking off in the dark. Doesn't it seem really that at least in this in- stance these shameful creatures might have reealled some slight bit of self respect and human consideration,” All those who expect to take advantage of the railway excur- sion to Terrace on May 24th are requested to make reservations at MeCaffery & Gibbons or the Grand Trunk as early as pos- sible. li MUSICIAN HEROES Musical Organizations All Over States Pay Tribute. New York, April 30,—Orches- tral and other musical organiza- tions throughout the United States are holding meetings to pay their tribute to the bravery of the musicians of the Titanic’s band, who went to their death playing.
