Townsite of Prince Rupert Put
on Market.
RUSH HAS NOW SUBSIDED
Terminus ot Grand Trunk Pncific
Has Lots at Auction Rigid Pre

OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington, Oct. 10. A new seaport was
formally established on September
30. when business and residence lots at
Prince Rupert, the Pacific terminus of
the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway of
Canadaw were-placed on the market for
the first time. The town of Prince Ru
pert has been on the map for some
time, but there never has been a town
laid off. and no property passing; into
. - , in,ti viHuuia The railroad
company and the British Columbia gov
ernment have neia ime 10 me wwu
site, and not until the closing day of
last month were sales made. The
opening; up of this new seaport town
is discussed in a recent report from Con
sul A. K. Smith, of Victoria, who says:
"The great rush to Prince Rupert,
the Pacific Coast terminus of the Grand
Trunk Pacific Railway of Canada, has
measurably subsided for the present,
though the travel in that direction is
still sufficient to employ regular week
lv steamers from Victoria, Vancouver
snd 8eattle. The causes of the decrease
In number of persons going to Prince
Rupert are several. Among them may
be mentioned the fact that no real es
tate or lots will be sold until Septem
ber SO. at which date it is expected the
whole townsite, which is owned by the
provincial government of British Co
lumbia and the Grand Trunk Pacific
Railway Company, will be subdivided
into lots and blocks and the streets
graded. The official survey was not
commenced until May 1 last, and the
agreement was that the sales should
not be- made till September 3), 1908.
Consequently all buildings except those
owned by the government and the rail
way company are temporarily placed
there by squatters, and remain only
on sufferance.
Little Business Now.
"Adjacent to what is regarded as
the townsite proper are clusters of
shacks and tent houses designated re
spectively as BaconviUe." "Knoxville."
"Vickersville," etc. No encouragement
ts given that these locations may be
permanent, consequently at present
there is little business done except to
supply railroad officials, contractors,
and their employes.
"Further the provincial government
of British Columbia has refused to
grant licenses for sale of liquor within
a hundred miles of Prince Rupert. As
a further precautionary measure, the
Dominion authorities of Cauada hava
stationed at Prince Rupert a force of
immigration agents, who visit every
steamer as soon as landing la effected
and carefully scrutinize all passengers
who essay to come over the gangway
and ro ashore. Unless the officials are
satisfied of their good character, and
that they have not less than 10 In cash
In their possession, or a situation as
sured them, or relatives, such impecun
ious persons are not allowed to land.
'During July there were about as many
coming from "as going to Prince Rupert,
aa emplovment can only be secured
from railroad contractors. Until after
lots in the townsite are sold, there can
be no demand for skilled mechanics,
nor for clerks, bookkeepers, stenog
raphers, nor the general run of office
help. Most of those now at work there
are those who can use pick and shovel,
etc and not all who are willing; to do
this work even hava found sufficient
employment, and many have returned
to home ports.
Population Is Sow 1000.
"There are now over 1000 people at
and around Prince Rupert. Two large
hotels have been erected by the rail
way company and furnished in g-ood
stvle. These are now open, doing busi-
.MAmmnlutinr a-uests. Port-
ness, iiiu x , -
able buildings have been shipped up
there ana erecieu
custom house. Immigration officials, etc.
A very extensive wharf has been erect
ed bv the railway company at Prince
Rupert, which is 1509 feet long. Yet
this has been deemed too contracted
for the business required, and the rail
way engineers have decided to extend
It 760 feet further east and the same
dl-tance west. Work is now progress
ing on this extension. When completed
the wharf will be S000 feet long-, giving;.
It Is said, the largest water front of
anv on the Pacific Coast.
"Naturally it is expected when on Sep
tember 30. 10S. the lota In the towns, te
are placed on the market that there
will be a tremendous rush to Prince,
Rupert. It 1" anticipated at least .1000
people will be there on that day. It Is
deemed probable the lots will be sold
at auction.
City on Halen Island.
"The townsite of Prince Rupert is
situated on the west side of Kalen Isl
and, on the extreme northwest coast of
British Columbia, and has a frontage
of four miles on the harbor, which faces
the Pacific Ocean. The whole island
contains about 2000 acres, of which
two-thirds Is now cleared. When sur
vey of townsite is completed every
fourth block and the lots therein will
be owned by tha Province of British
Columbia: the remainder will be owned
by the Grand Trunk Pacific Town &
Development Company. Prince Rupert
Is distant about 4S0 miles from Van
couver. B. C; 600 miles from Victoria,
B. C. and 650 miles from Seattle, Wash.
The regular passenger fare from either
of the last-named ports is $18 per head.
Special rates are sometimes made for
large parties."
OBJECT TO CUT IN WAGES
CAPE LEGISLATORS DISLIKE
THIS FOR RETRENCHMENT.
Allowed $9 a Day for Expenses, but
Pocket About $7.50 Cut of
6 Per Cent Proposed.
CAPE TOWN. Oct. 10. (Special.)
In the Cape legislature recently econ
omies have been suggested in many
directions and it has even been pro
posed " that members of parliament
should consent to a reduction In their
allowances. Naturally, the proposal
has not been received with enthusiasm
by the occupants of the back benches.
In theory the allowance of per
dav made to country members Is sup
posed not to be in the nature of a pay
ment for services, but simply for the
purpose of enabling them to defray their
living and other expenses incidental to
their Parliamentary duties.
The correspondent of a Dutch magazine
published in Cape Town has been con
ducting an Inquiry as to the amount
which members of the Legislature act
ually spend on board and lodgings. As
a result of these Investigations, he has
ascertained that very few of them pay
more than 11.37 per day. several pay 81.12
and one of them pays 75 cents a day.
"It Is thus obvious that these unselfish
patriots who assist in every scheme of
retrenchment put into their own pockets
from the treasury chest a matter of Ji.aO
a day for a period of 90 days."
Under Mr. Merrlman's scheme, impos
ing a reduction of 5 per cent on all per
sons drawing government pay. the ut
most the members of the Legislature wia
be called upon to surrender is 833. to per
head annually. This, It is sarcastically
added, is the limit of the sacrifice which
these patriotic lawgivers are prepared to
make in the interests of economy.
