FATE OF PACIFIC
J EASTERN
BEING DECIDED
Vancouver, B. C, Oct. 10. (Ca
nadian Press) Recommendations
concerning the future of the Pa
cific Great Eastern railway wiii be
made by the government at the next
session of the British Columbia leg
islature. Premier .John Oliver an-nouncc-'l
on his return from an in
spection trip. The nature of these
recommendations will be determined
in the meantime.
The premier's survey followed pub
lication of the report of oJhn G.
Sullivan, consulting engineer, who
condemned the entire undertaking
and held out no hope for the fu
ture of the project which has cost
the taxpayers of the province more
than forty-four million dollars.
As originally surveyed, the Pacif
ic G I it Eastern was designed to
i serve tne territory between .North
Vncouver and Prince George,,
stretch of four hundred and seventy
two miles. The line has been built
ami is in operation from North Van
couver to Whyterliffe, a distance of
twelve and a half miles, and from
Snuamish to Ouesnel. three hundred
, .. - ' , ,
.and fifty miles. From Ouesnel to
Cottonwood, 17 1-2 miles, steel is
laid but the road is not in operation.
(II
Between Cotjonwood Creek and cRd has hcs-in given until live o'clock to
Rock Ci tek, 4.r miles, ties and steel j day to r.ccept or reject.
fastenings are on the ground, but' . . ,
the track ha:; not been laid. From i PARTIES FOR MISS COBB
Red Rock Creek to the junction of Mrs. cL'.vis Thorpe entertained
the Pacific Cleat Eastern and the1 three (aides of .bridge nt her 'home
Grand Trunk Pacific, one mile east j in Rocky. Mount on Tuesday after
of Prince George, the track is laid ; noon from .1:30 to r::j0, in honor
but. not 'in operation. This distance! of, Mii Mary Alice Cobb.
is eighteen miles.
uliiuijs pounds
of steel, nearly enough for the con
struction of a bridge over the Cot
tonwoo 1 river, has been fabricated at
Walkerville, Out., and is awaiting j
shipment. It has been paid for. To j
complete this bridge 190, 000 pounds
more steel must be purchased, con
crete foundations must be built and
840,000 feet of a total of 8,000,000
feet of trestles required must be
purchased. The remainder of the
trestle work has been provided.
Completion of the gap between
Quesnel and Prince eGorge would
cost about 2,000,000 more and the
whole line from North Vancouver to
Prince George, an added $6,000,000,
according to .Mr. Sullivan's report.
Necessary renewals in the next ten
years, Mr. Sullivan believes, would
cost, about $8,000,000 at present con
struction prices.

HE
SYPHILITIC BABY
INFECTS THE HOI
Raleigh, Oct. 10. Syphilis docs
halt for kind hearts. Infection from
this loathsome disease may reason
ably be expected as one of the pos
sible results of adoption of children
through irregular channels, however
well-intentioned prospective foster
parents may be. This is the opinion
of officials of the State Board of!
Public Welfare who recently have:
had culled to their attention a case
in point which occurred in one of
the eastern counties, when both fos-ter-mqther
and wet-nurse contracted '
syphilis from an infected baby which
had been adopted from a deserted andj
probahly immoral mother without'
authoritative permission.
In all probability, such a tragedy,
would have been avoided; Public '
Welfare officials say, if legal methods
of adoption had been followed. The
state law says in this regard that no
child shall be removed from its
mother under six months after birth
without permission from the clerk
of the court and the couny health
officer. In this case, the law was dis
regarded. The baby developed symp
toms if syphilis when it was about a
month old. By this time, without
permission of either the clerk of the
court or the county health ollicei
the child was already in its foster
home where it was a source of con
tagion to innocent and well-meaning
people. Had the foster-parents
applied to the proper authorities for
permission to adopt the child, the
case would probably have been put
into the hands of the county super
intend ?nt of public welfare, the log-
iM. figKtw .ta.hdlftjt,;
The story of what happened -in-1
stead is sad enough. A man and
his wife, both of excellent character
and standing in their community,
had been for a long time very anx
ious to adopt a baby girl. They were
informul by a physician that a young
woman patient of his whose husband
had deserted her was expecting to
be confined. The man, thereupon,
hail a lawyer draw up papers of for
mal surrender of the child, if a girl,
which the young woman signed. The
doctor had advertised the fact that,
because' she had' been deserted and
was unable to. work, the mother
would have to give away her child
as soon after birth as possible. But
he fail 3d. to advertise any suspicions
of syphilitic infection which he may
have had reason to entertain.
Twenty-four hours after its birth,
the baby who was, to all appearances,
a line child, had been received into
her new home, to the great satisfac
tion of her foster-parents who plan
ned tp give her every advantage.
About a month later, the baby de
veloped symptoms of syphilis. Def
inite diagnosis came too late to fore
stall infection of both foster-mother
and wet nurse, the former being af
flicted with the disease in a most vir
ulent form.
Naturally enough, the foster-par
ents no longer wished to keep in their
home the child, who, although inno
cently, had brought such horrible
contamination there. So the baby
was finally resigned to the care of
the county superintendent of public
welfare but too late for the super
intendcitt to do anything more than
than fy to find another (and pre
sumably less fortunate) home for
the child after cure has been pro
nounced. Because of such a history,
it will he difficult to place this baby,
upon whom the sins of its parents
have been visited.

tcmperaturei

quering the world, Alexander died

The City Fathers held their reg

The entire board was present, and j
this s((;sion was a most interesting:
one as many matters of importance
were broughg up and discussed. j
After the minutes were read by
the clerk, Mr. Jacobs, the mayor
asked if there wercl any present who
wished to be heard and the first man
to rcsopnd was Mr. oGorge Penning-
.,.n, who brought up the matter of
I the repeal oi the nresil.it parking
j law. And as Don Gilliam said af
I ter the meeting, eGorge Pennington
I was the only man who had ever been
successful in the presentation of the
Repeal Law before the Board.
Mr. Pennington stated, that the
' matter of the repeal had been brough
before he Kiwanis, and this club was
j practically unanimous for th repeal
of the law and many merchants had
i expressed themselves as opposed to
the present law.
To find out just how the Eoai'i

Commissioner Crisp stated that he
had no storrf on Main street, but was
willing to have the law that the ma
jority desired. After much discus
sion a motion was placed before the
Board that the present law be re
pealed without any conditions and
it was carried by a vote of five, to
two,, so the parking law is now dead
and the streets, including Main, are
thrown wide open for parking.

j the election of a Cotton Weigher,
the clerk rr)ad applications from the
following: C. H. Jenkins, W. S.

with him an estimate for the cost and

figures were $5,422.40. This White
Way will reach from Wilson Street

This maUel. ,vas finaly referred
to a committee to look into and make

of the town and ascertain from
them, what proportionate part of the
White Way expense would be( borne
by them, and this committee, with
j the Mayor, was authorized, if they
j thought necessary, to call a mass
meeting of the citizens to discuss
this White Way scheme.
Thc( matter of removing the fence
I on Wilson street, this side of the
! creek bridge was brought before the
j Board by oCmmissioner Harris. This
fence was placed on the town prop-
erty several years ago, with thf un

sixty days. At the time this fence
