ICELANDERS SETTLE ON THE
PACIFIC.
A good start lias been made by
the Icelandic settlement on the
shores of Masset inlet. A few
weeks ago the Empire reported
the arrival here of a party of Ice
landers from Manitoba who had
come to the coast to look into
the possibilities of Graham is
land. Since then they have pur
chased half a mile of water front
age near Sewall city, and present
prospects seem to warrant the ex
pectation that a large and thriv
ing community will soon he in
evidence at (his place. The land
has been divided into twenty-four
allotments, each with a water
frontage of 100 feet, and one and
a quarter acres. Extending farth
er back, there are five plots in
cluded in each of these water
front holdings, so that the owner
has the benefit of gardening or
farming on a small scale, as well
as having a very considerable
amount of land which gives him
access to the water. This is after
the method of French settlements
along the River St. Lawrence. The
settlers appear to consider the j
outlook promising. There is
-clearing to be undertaken, for the
growth of timber is heavy, but J
once these difficulties are over
come, progress will be easier.
More arrivals are expected from
Manitoba.—Prince Rupert Em

Notice.
It is possible to immune chil
dren against whooping cough by
vaccinating them with whooping
cough vaccine, a serum discover
ed only of late and found ef
fective for that purpose. I have
obtained, a limited quantity—
mure on the way—and will vacci
nate any children within the city
limits free of charge, if the par
ents apply at my office after 2
p. in. every day except Sundays.
This vaccine has no severe re
action, is free from any danger,
leaves no scar or produces any
sore; it is used as an injection
under the skin.
