Prince Rupert to be the Greatest Mod-
ern City Yet Built.
A Boston firm of landscape archi-
tects has been awarded the contract
for making the general plans for the
model city which the Grand Trunk
Pacific Railroad is to built in lirltlsh
Columbia as the Pacific terminus oi
the great new railroad system which in
now being built acrdss Canada.
The contract is one of the largest
ever given for a similar undertaking.
says the Village. As yet there is only
a small settlement where. it is intend-
ed n large and important omntercinl
and manufacturing city wil be built.
The settlement is on Knieu island and
the new city will be known as Prince
Rupert.
The area which is available for the
site comprises bctween seven and
eight square miles. although only a
small part of this will be developed
within the near future. The island In
)f considerable size. but only about
one-third will be available because of
the mountain, Mount Hays. which rises
to an elevation of 2,300 feet near the
center of the island,
The railroad will cross front the
mainland to l’orpoiso island and then
to Knien island by means of bridges
the first of which will be about a
quarter of a mile in length and the
second some 200 feet long. Already a
dock a thousand feet long has been
constructed along a part of the water-
'ronl and it is planned to extend this
for a much longer distance. The
shores are very bold, and this will aid
greatly ill preparing places for ship-
ping. and also keep down the cost of
building docks.
it is saidpo be the plan to have the
shipping anti "wholesale business on
the first level. which rises to 75 or too
'eet; the retail business and the pub
lic buildings on the second level. which
is some 200 feet high and forms a sort
of ridge. and the, residences still fur
ther back on a third level of about 100
feet elevation. '
Ample provision for parks will he
made. There is an excellent chnncc
for one. on a central elevation. another
at Point Hays. hauled, like the moun~
min. in honor of the president of in
railroad. Charles M. llays. of Monirnl.
and a third at the southwestern end of
the city.
it is probable also that Dlgby island.
last to the westward of Kalen island.
will be, developed for residences. a pun
nose for which it is admirably adopted.
The expenditures which are contem-
plated by the railroad company at this
place alone will total many millions if
present plans are carried otlt. ,
Prince Rupert is situated within fif-
ty miles of the southern extremity of
Alaska and 651 miles north of Vancou-
ver. at the very entrance to the salmon
fishing grounds. it is in the immediate
vicinity of a large number of canner-
ies which send their products to all
parts of the world. Near at hand are
the famous halibut fishing grounds.
Already there is considerable activi-
ty on behalf of the railroad, and re
cenily a contract'was let for cleaning
2,000 acres of land at 3220.000.

stop. in That Dimtion sung Taken 7 :—
lrt Mullehu'ntta.
Borne stops are being taken in the
smaller cities of Massachusetts in the
direction of simpler and more etiiclent
municipal golfernment. A movement,
in‘ the city of HnVerhiii to abolish the
present City Council and toeoncen-i
trnto all ‘its powers in the hands or a,
mayor and four aldermen has receiv-i
ed the unanimous approval of the»
Legislative Committee on Cities and
maybe authorized by the legislature, ,_
The Boston ilcrnld says of the dc-
taiis of the plan under consideration:
"i‘he tenure of office is to be two:
years. Tito mayor is to be elected at
oltch alternate annual election and
two alderman are to be elected at
each «dcction. The striking feature
of the proposed reorganization of the ~
city council is the reduction of pchr i
vested ill the mayor. Tile plan of u
linslnossdirectorate has been follow-j
ed. The city council is the centralised
authdrity of the administration. The'
mayor is a member of the cutlllcil,‘
with the same power and authority
delegated to other members. He has
neither power of appointment nor of
renulvnl, and he is not given the right;
of veto. ills only «inclusive, pcrdtllsite
appears to be a salary which is,
$700 greater than that received by!
Other nit-tubers of the council, the
reason for which is not apparent. This
attitude toward the lnnyornity is like-
ly to he a point of criticism, it differs
from the growing idea of n ntrong.’
centralized executive personality. Yet.
if an executive committee or board of
directors can manage the nifalrp of a
great business corporation without
disastrous dissipation of responsibility

'wlly cannot a similar system work
to advantage in the luminous manage-
ment of a city?"
Nominations for these olilces are to
be made at preliminary elections. the
noun-s of the persons to be voted for
to be designated by petition. No party
afiillulions are to be affixed to the
nominations. the object being to clim-
-innto partisan politics entirely from
municipal affairs. Another innovation
is the provision that, on petition of
otmfourth of the voters of the city,
any ollo of the five city officials may
be at any time subject to "recall,“
that is to be voted otit of office, and
the initiative and referendum is also
introduced by a provision that upon
petition of an per cent. of the voters
in favor of a proposed ordinance,
the city council must pass the or.
dinnnco within twenty days or sub:
lull it to the people at a special elec-
tion. while if but 10 per cent. of the
voters nudes: the ordinance it musti
be passed or submitted to the people
at n general election.
Such a city charter as this would
deprive the. fairly politicians of all the
share they now have in municipal
government. and an the proposed act,
or the legislature is merely a portals-
Ilve measure the iiaverhlli reformers
may tot succeed in having it finally
hanged. The act rwuircs that 1,500
vote it shall sign in favor of the new
plan before it is Ftiltllliiietl to a pop-
ular vote.
There seems to be a strong proba-
bility that the government of the city
of Chelsea will be placed in the hands
of a (submission with special powers
for a limited term ofyesrs. Other
Monsachnsetts cities have been ser-
iously considering the procurement
front the imgislnturs of similar msnv:
sures for the elimination of politics

Much of the so-called friendship of

in name and as soon as“it ceases to
be advantageous it is dropped. The
friendship that continues the same in

W is WORTH THE COST.
(From the Boston Watchman).
The present cost of the army and
navy of the United States adds 60 per
cent. to the taxes which the people
pay for the support of the national
government. The fact that these tax-
u are collected indirectly makes the
burden ens obvious, but it. is not less
real. e money for the support of
our army and navy comes out of the

venue start he paid. as ltttnc money
was paid directly to a government tax
callectott. Moreover. this burden will
bd‘much increased by the carrying
out of the Senate program to build
two “0.000.000 blitlleships a year for
the next layouts, and from present
appearances the government will be
obliged to borrow money to carry out,
the scheme?
This is something the. 9 do

There is a certain glamor shout at
