sands of articles of every kind relating
to him.
There is nothing which could be
traced as having once belonged to
Lincoln that Mr., Oldroyd did not Sc
cure, if purchasable. And it is safe
to say that his collection is the most
remarkable of it's kind in the world,
for it is the work of more than fifty
years of a mans life, devoted almost
solely to this one object.
While the building belongs to the
government the collection is still
owned by Mr.. Oldroyd, to whom the
writer is indebted for the illustrations
in this Observation-Disclosures Star.

city is the front door to. Alaska and
a natural gateway to the Last Great
West"
In the course of few years its
docks will be- the receiving point for
much of the commerce from the Orient
and from Alaska. From Prince Rupert
this commerce will be carried all the
way through Canada to the Atlantic

Center of Big Fishing Industry.
Prince Rupert will be one of the
factors to be reckoned with in the
business life of the continent One Oh
the great sources of wealth already
tapped is the fishing industry. Mill
lions of pounds of halibut are taken
each month from the neighboring wa
tiers, and d remarkable fact is that TINS
fish is being eaten in the English sea
coast cities which have been deprived
of their fish supply through the sub
marine perils of the North sea. Hun
dreds of carloads of this Prince Ru-
pert halibut are moved in refrigerator
cars, and the fish is in perfect condl-
ton when it reaches the consumers
tables nearly six thousand miles away
from the waters where it was caught.
The Skeena river, which empties into
the harbor of Prince Rupert, is one
of the greatest salmon rivers in the
world, and thousands of people are
employed during the canning season
along its shores.
Prince Rupert has had no great
boom or hysterical speculation, but 1t
is finding it's feet among the older
competitors along the coast. The pr
oneers had great natural obstacles to
overcome Every street is cut out of
solid rock. and blasts costing $4,000
were by no means a rarity; and today
blasting and street making is still go
ing on, with a great deal of paving
yet to be done.
Prince Rupert is right in the path
of the Chinook winds, warmed by the
Japanese current. There is much fine
soft rain during the spring, but the
winters have a cOmpensating mildness,
and throughout the cold months the
steamers from Seattle, Vancouver and
Victoria go in and out the port, car
rying passengers and cargo, and sail
through sheltered waters far removed
from the menace OF floating ice.
Canada is proud OF her new Pacific
gateway, and the work done by the
Prince Rupert pioneers Is among the
most notable achievements in city
building of which this continent has
record.

BY WALTER ROSS.


~ F ALL the cities on the Pa
cific coast of this continent,
Prince Rupert is the most
surprising. The genius of a
railway man, aided by shipload of
high explosives and a lavish expendi-
ture of money, brought it into being
with the same surprising rapidity with
which the stage magician produces a
rabbit from his hat.
The writer, with a hundred other
Americans and Canadians, first heard
of the city's existence one spring day
a half dozen years ago. The Austral-
ian mail boat Makura, after a record
trip across the Pacific from Sydney,
n. S. W., was proudly nosing her way
into Vancouver harbor when held up
by an outward-bound tramp loaded to
the line with men and materials. The
men were bound north to make the
first blasts in the work of removing
mountain of rock for the site of the
new city, which was to be the western
terminal of Canada's newest trans
continental railway, the Grand Trunk
Pacific Vancouver and Seattle were
agog with the news-a new sea port
on the north coast of British Columbia,
within few miles of the Alaskan bor-
der.
Today, where less than seven years
ago the first white man set his foot,
there is a bustling community of 5000
people living and working in fine thor
oughfares overlooking a great natural
harbor, which is in the center of the
worlds richest fishing grounds.
Can Handle Great Vessels.
A few weeks ago, without any
furore, the Prince Rupert people
watched the steamer Delhi, salvaged
from the Alaskan coast, brought into
harbor and placed in dry dock. This
marked the opening for business of
100000 investment, floating dry
dock and ship-repairing plant which
can handle a merchantmen or battle
ship of 10000 tons displacement. 1t is
enterprise such as this that spells sure
prosperity for this northern port.
Cities which have been earning a
livelihood for centuries from the thou
sands of ocean carriers would be proud
to own such facilities as this great
floating dry dock.
This faith which moves mountains
to make place for town sites and
spends millions on a single machine is
making Prince Rupert famous, and the
faith of it's people is justified. They
are $50 miles nearer Yokohama than
Vancouver and 500 miles nearer than
San Francisco. If you wish to take
the shortest route round the world
from London, your trip will take you

or any nation so conceived and so
dedicated, can long endure.
1--we are met on a great battle
field of that war. We have come to
dedicate a portion of that field as a
final resting place for those who here
gave their lives that that nation might
live. Il is altogether fitting and prop
er that we should do this. But, in a
larger sense. we cannot dedicate-we
cannot conservative cannot hallow
this ground.
THE brave men, living and dead,
who struggled here have consecrated
it far above our poor power TO add or
detract
1.-The world will little note, nor
long remember, what we say here; but
it can never forget what they did
here. It is for us. the living, rather
to be dedicated here to the unfinished
work which they who fought here
nave thus SO far nobly advanced.
lit is rather for US to be here
dedicated to the great task remaining
before us, that from these honored
dead we take increased devotion to
that cause for which they gave the
last full measure of devotion; that we
mere mighty resolve that these dead
shall not have died in vain; that this
nation. under God, shall have new
birth of freedom, and that government
of the people, py the people, for the
people. shall not perish from the
earth.

"A printed in Harper's Magazine,

the delivery of the famous Gettysburg
address.

myself: MERCER and Admiral Ray

At Gettysburg the president went

dangerous.
eve went out after a while, fol-
lowing the music to hear the sere-
nades. The president appeared at the
door, said half dozen words mean
ing nothing, and went in. Seward,
who was staying around the corner at
Harper's, was called out, and spoke
so indistinctly that | did not hear a
word of what he was saying. Forney
and MacVeagh were still growing
about Blair. We went back to For
ney's room, having picked up Nicolay,
and drank more whisky. Nicolay sang
his little song of the Three Thieves"
and we then sang John Brown" At
last we proposed that Forney should
make a speech, and two or three start

Stanton and MacVeagh. He still
growled, quietly, and thought he
was going to do something imprudent.'
Then follows an account of the
serenade and of the bibulous Forney's
speech, in which in tipsy fashion he
mingled drollery and gravity. Quite

a prayer which thought it was an

always does, perfectly; and the presi-

grace than is his wont, said his half
