ACCIDENT WITH RIFLE
“Scotty” Dennis Has Fingers of
Left Hand Injured

W. G. Dennis, J. H. Kelly and
W. A. Paterson have returned
from an eight day trip to the in-
terior, much of which was spent
in the Lakelse Valley. The trip
proved a most enjoyable one but
for a slight accident. There was
a premature explosion of a
rifle, the bullet striking the fin-
gers of the left hand of Mr.
Dennis. The boys then made a
hurried eight mile trip on a hand
ear to Dr. Traynor, of Terrace,
who skillfully bandaged the in-
jured member.

STRUCK A TINY FLOW
OF OIL ACCIDENTALLY.
Men Employed by Graham Island

Coal and Timber Syndicate
Were Drilling for Coal.

The somewhat startling but not
unexpected annourcement was made
last week that while boring for coal

on the Yakoun River, the Graham

Island Coal & Timber Syndicate had

struck a flow of oil. This information
was partly corroborated by General
Manager Wright upon his arrival
here, but he added that the drill
only penetrated a small chuck hole in
which there was a small amount of
oil of seemingly good quality. It was
not a “gusher’’ by any means, but
it is considered a good indication of
an oil field: and Mr. Wright believes
that it will be found not very far
below. His company, however, is bor-
ing for coal, but a strike of oi] would
be just as acceptable if not more so.

The Dominion Government ves-

ACTING MAYOR NADEN MAKES —
REPLY TO OLE CROSBY'S LETTER

IT WAS NEVER INTENDED, HE SAYS,
SHOULD RETURN THE USED PIPE

CITY

Prince Rupert B.C., July 14, 1913.
The Editor Daily News City:

Dear Sir,—Were my _ colleague,
Ald. McCaffery, at home I would
not trouble to answer Mr. Crosby’s
letter which appeared in your issue
of Saturday, but in his absence it is
only fair the public (in Mr. Crosby’s
words) should be aware of the true
facts of the case.

The only portion of the letter I
intend to deal with is where Mr,
Crosby takes great credit to himself
for refusing the loan of 109 feet of
6-inch pipe to Ald. McCaffery on the
ground of public health. He says Ald.
McCaffery wanted to use it for sewer
purposes and then return it to the
city.

If I asked my neighbor for the
loan of a loaf of bread and said I
would return it in a day or two what
should I think of him if he refused
on the ground that it would be detri-
mental to his health if he took back
the bread after I had used it?

In my request to him I did not

AGAIN,

loaf in lieu of the one I had borrow-
ed, taking it for granted that my
neighbor had intelligence enough to
know what I meant, without the spe-
cific statement, In making a request
to a city official holding an im-
important position it would be taking
desperate chances to assume said
city official to have ordinary intelli-
gence if the construction placed by
Mr. Crosby on Ald. McCaffery’s re-°
quest be a criterion.

Again, in Mr. Crosby's words, “‘it
would be interesting to know the
opinion of medical men and _ the
chairman of the board of health”
upon the condition of a man who
would refuse a loaf of bread to a
neighbor for the reasons given by
Mr. Crosby for refusing the loan of
100 feet of 6-inch wooden pipe to
Ald. McCaffery. ‘

Rarely have I seen such an illus-
tration of the truth of the old adage
“The excuse may be worse than the
fault."

Yours truly,

 

state that I would return another

As a final farewell before taking

eral agent, was tendered a compli-
mentary banquet at the Prince Ru-
pert Inn on Saturday evening by a
noroughly representative gathering
of citizens, more than fifty of whom
About 10:30

past that was splendidly served and
upon whic. -or, Sweet was the re-
cipient of many congratulations. The
following were present: Dr. W.

R. E. Jardine, M. J. Hobin, J. G.

A very pleasant feature of the
banquet was the presentation to Mr,
McMaster of a gold watch, on the
inside case of which was engraved
the following: ‘Presented to A, BE.
McMaster by his Prince Rupert
friends on the ocasion of his depar-
ture for Regina, July 14 1913." Mr.
H. P. Wilson read an address in
which expression was given to the
general regret felt at the departure
of Mr, McMaster and best wishes for
his success in his new field and for
the happiness and prosperity of both
Mrs. McMaster and himself. Mr. Mc-
Master acknowledged the presenta-
tion and said that it was quite un-
necessary to give him any such me-
mento as he would always remember
his many friends in Prince Rupert
and continue to take a real interest
in the development of the city and
in the prosperity of its citizens, He
hoped that in the not distant future
he would again be a resident of
Prince Rupert and when the first
transcontinental train came through

on the cowcatcher when the train

pulls into Prince Rupert.

The banquet was of an informal
character, the usual toast list being
dispensed with. Only two toasts were
drunk, that of the King and the
guest of the evening. Geo. B. Hull
presided, with Mr. McMaster sitting

at his left. The names of Ald. Suth-
erland and Principal Brady of the
High School were coupled with the
toast to Mr. McMaster. Both gentle-
men referred to the many admirable
qualities they had found in Mr. Mc-
Master and wished him success in
his new appointment.

In replying to the toast, Mr. Mc-
Master referred to his coming to
Prince Rupert five years ago, when
everything here was small except the
men who were here, and to the
many pleasant associations he had
formed here. He dwelt at some
length on the resources of the dis-
trict and said that he was more op-
timistic than ever as to the future
of this city. He hoped that it would
be his privilege to again become a
resident of the city, in which he
would always take a deep interest.

Among others who expressed their
regret at Mr. McMaster’s departure
were J. H. McMullin, F. H. Mobley,
G. Peck, W. H. Wright, E. B. Paul
and J. G. McNab.

The banquet was brought to a
close with hearty cheers for Mr. Me-
Master and the singing of “Auld
Lang Syne.”

Mr, McMaster left by the 5.5.
Prince Rupert at 9 o'clock this
morning for Vancouver en route to
Regina. There was a large gathering
of his friends on the wharf to say
farewell and as the boat pulled awa:’
he was given three hearty cheers.
