Barnum, one of the greatest circus men the world has known, undoubtedly has an ardent follower in Prince Rupert in the person of 8. M. Newton, editor of the Evening Em- pire. If Barnum’s theory is still true that the public likes to be fooled, those in this city who are being daily deceived by. the Empire's misleading, and in many untruthful, articles have no reason to complain. The article yesterday in ref- erence to the issuing of road tax receipt books a de- liberate misrepresentation of facts. When Arthur Cuthbert made application to the mayor for these forms he was told: that others had been’ refused and that there was no evi- dent reason why they should be granted to him. Mr. Cuthbert then explained that he is a commissioner of the supreme court for taking affidavits, whereupon he was willingly supplied. The Em- pire says that bullets of law forced the mayor to give them grudgingly. As a mat- ter of fact, the law does not require that these forms be given out of the hands of the city collector. The only reason they are given out is to expedite the collection of the road tax and to enable workmen to get on the roll who do not find it convenient ‘to come to the city hall. When the Empire says that _ “bullets of law” secured the forms and that they were given grudgingly it is only adding to its list of lies to prejudice the public mind. cases is PICTURES UP TO DATE Fine Films Shown at the West- holme Tonight.

The town of Smithers, accord- ing to Mr. Burroughs’ statement, is a “town in the making.” Dutr- ing the three weeks since the railroad began giving service there upward of sixty houses and business buildings have been started, but very few are et com- pleted by reason of the shortage of lumber.

These gentle- men, together with all others doing business there are hous- ing their stocks in tents pending completion of buildings.

CLOSES ENGAGEMENTS Favorites Were Showered with Boxes of Bon Bons from Their Admirers. As a farewell performance the Pollard Juvenile Opera.

The program in- cluded many of the more popular songs as well as several of the real gems. Of the latter the duet from “IL Trovatore’ by Nellie MeNamara and P. Phillipson was probably the best. Queenie Wil- liams and Melba Valrose in their several numbers were enthusi- astically received. The charac- ter sketch by Charlie Bennett was extremely well rendered. There was some clever toe and ballet dancing to add variety. The popularity of the different mem- bers was shown by the shower of bon bon boxes that came down from the box at the left.
