PRiNGE RUPERT
IS BOOMING
Mr KYank Mob ley. who has a large
wholesale and rvUll general merchan
utse store in Duwuvery and a whole
caU| atoru la t*toc? Rupert, B. C.,
arrived ou the traiu Saturday ea route
to Prince Rupert where he will spend
most of his time lu the future. Mr.
Vobley is oue of the pioneer* of the
Atllu district having located there in
??s.
Speaking of the outlook of the new
to* u of l*riuce Rupert. Mr. Mohley
-aid, "l*rince Rupert has certainly
a srwat future la sight for the com
pletion of the Ur&ad Trunk railroad
*-ill maku it the terminus of a great
transcontinental railroad with an Im
mense agricultural aud cattle raising
country back of it
"The fishing and mining resources
contiguous to Prince Rupert are tre
mendous and wheu it hi remembered
that the; (.taind Trunk is shorter by
at least 400 mile* thau the> other rail
roads to the Atlantic seaboard it can
bet readily seen that this will give It
a great advantage over other lines
for the quick transportation of perish
able and other fast freight.
? l*iuco Rupert hi at this time en
joying a great boom and h building up
very rapidly. In the period of eight
months there were 80S buildings con
structed and the assessment rolls for
the year 1910 showed a valuation of
over fifteen million dollorv
"Ou thtt 19th of thb? month the
fsrat municipal election will be held
and a mayor and city counoil will be
elected, the government heretofore
having beeu under control of the
IToviace.
The outlook in Atlin this year is
encouraging, as many new companies
are installing plants and we look (or
an increased output of gold."
Mr. Mob ley ta also Justice of the
i*vuce In British Columbia, and has
sat as magistrate in Prince Rupert,
and is a candidate for Alderman at
the cotniug election Mr. Mobley
will leave on the Princesa Royal to
Cranbcrri**.
Cranberries were formerly known
uuder the name of marsh or feu
whorts. feu berries, marsh berries, moss
:>errtes in "New England Rarities
(ltfW) JoKMelvn dewrlbrd the cranberry
as the bearberry. The trad so insep
arably associated lu the New Kugiand
miud with turkey is not tn Johnson's
or Bailey's dictionary. 1'crtiapM the
colonists adapted It from the German
krauiehbeere or kraubeere, the berry
now known preferably by Herman lex
icographer* as atfeubeere. Wherever
the tutme came from. It appeared tn
English literature tn 1?72. as noted
above, and from a writer of IffiM we
know that cranberry tarts were then
relished, as l bey were later by tjueerj

FIERCE ESKIMO DOGS, !
They Retain Their Wild Nature
Despite Long Training.
AS SAVAGE AS THE WOLVES.
And Lika Their r?roclou? Cong?n?r?
TKay Always Hunt In Packs? In
ittncM In Labrador WKirt They
Hava Devoured Human Beings.
There undoubtedly Is an atSulty be
Uweeu the wolf and the Eskimo dog.
for generations tbe dog has been
trained bj tbe Eakimos. chiefiy by tbe
| wouien. and taught to haul a sledge In
j winter. The Hudson Bay company's
Agents and tbe settlers on tbe ?.-oast of
labrador vie with each other lu get
ting together spleudid teams. Cue
would uaturully suppose that dogs of
:hls kind, so long trained and associ
ated with men. would become more or
I less domesticated and lose thelf orlgl
ujtl savage character. It 1*. however,
ijulte otherwise.
The Eskimo dog of today Is still a
pure, unmitigated savage. Like bis
, cougeuer. tbe wolf, be always bunts lu
, [wicks. Quite reveutly an Eskimo, with
tils wife aud child, was making a Jour
ney with his team to a nearby settle
ment Ou bis way the driver became
ill and weak aud quite unable to con
| trol bis team. The dogs turned on
them and devoured the whole family.
An old resident at Labrador told me
that one winter's evenlug be was sit
ting reading when he heard a furious
t>arking auiong his dogs outside
fighting among the pack was so com
mou that he took no notice of the dis
turbance. Nest uk?rniug the cause of
I the row was discovered. A poor Es
! kluio womau was coming to the house
for medicine for ber sick child. She
stumbled over the heap of snow near
the door. The pack sprang on her. and
some rags aud boues discovered next
morning told the tale of her tragic
fate.
The Newfoundland fishermen often
bring home these Eskimo dogs from
Labrador. They Invariably turn out
I sheep killers, aud the crossbred oues
have all the same savage instinct
' Tbey have beeu known to kill a score
' >r more sheep In one night, all being
found with their throats torn, but not
i one eaten. It Is simply tbe savage lost
for blood. The early settlers In New
foundland found tbe great timber
wolves a terrible pest. They killed
their sheep and cattle aud sometimes
attacked womeu aud children. They
were continually chased and killed,
t>ut still they Increased. A baudsouie
i bounty on wolfskins, however, even
tually brought about their extirpation.
Animals that bunt or move together
la (tacks always retain this character
; istlc. The reindeer In Iaplaud have
'.ten trained aud domesticated by man
for countless generations, but they still
retain this instinct of the pack. As
soon as the team moves all tbe rein
Jeer start off; nothing cau stop them.
While the savage pack hunting char
acter of the Eskimo dog remains so
long unchanged, we have, ou the oth
er baud. In setter and retriever dogs
a very strlkiag illustration of how an
artificial character cau be given to the
Jog and a special characteristic firmly
! implanted lu a breed aud retained for
^nturiea. It is, however, purely arti
ficial aud Is easily lost. For instance,
tetters and pointers kept by ladles as
l?ets and not tralued lose the instinct
:o point. Tbe untrained breed within
a generation lose It altogether. Every
sportsman kuows that the young one^ j
are very easily trained aud point nat
urally. 1 have seen setter pups only
! six weeks old settiug at tiles.
The Instinct for retrieving Is perpet
1 uated In no breed so strongly as the
real Newfoundland dog. the fisher
man's friend and constant compauion
aud the most spleudtd of all retrievers.
A remarkable lustance of his gifts and
coorage Is the story of a Newfound
land settler, George Uarvey, bow with
the aid of his dog and two children he
saved 103 lives In 1S32. In the autumn
ot that year the brig Dispatch, on her
way to Quebec with emigrants. In a
Tremendous gale of wind struck a rock
*bout three miles from Harvey's resi
dence at Isle aux Morts. Harvey heard
the signals of distress and immediately
launched his boat. Ills only help was
? boy of twelve, his girl, sixteen years
old. aud his dog. To get close to the
doomed ship lu such a sea was to coert
destruction. Harvey's dog understood
what was required of him. He swam
toward the ship. The seas overwhelm
ed him and drove him back, but final
ly he came near euough. The sailors
threw him a rope, which he caught
with his teeth. At last he got back to
Harvey's boat almost dead from ex
haustion. but with the rope's end firm
ly clinched in his teeth. Communica
tion between the boat and the ship
was then established, aud with care
and the most laborious efforts every
soul was saved. ? Judge Prow* la

Th? "Gold Snaka."
A Mexican superstition, very coin
ftiou among miners la that country, re
lates to the "gold snake." This spe
cial of serpeut is perfectly harmless
and very handsome, being green In
1 color and with a golden Iridescence In
Its scales. Faith Ut entertained that
wherever a gold snake makes Its nest
there Is a ledge containing the precious
metal, and there are many miners who
will locate a claim at once if they find
a gold snake.
The power of applying attention to a
single subject Is the sore mark of a
