Housley who has logged the Kitsault Flats for the past 18 months. For the past few weeks only a small crew has been employed taking up railway track, and gathering equipment together, most of whioh has been shipped to Anyox. Since Mr. Housley oommenoed logging he has put approximately 12 million feet in the water. Of this amount 85 per cent was spruce 10 per cent hemlock, and the remaining 5 per cent oottonwood. The spruce and hemlock was sold to the Powell Biver Paper Co. and the cottonwood to the Laminated Materials Co. of New Westminster. Fourteen thousand feet of new railway traok was laid during the past 18 months, and a bridge 70 feet in length was also built across the North-East Fork of the Kitsault River. From 35 to 40 men were employed, with a monthly payroll of $5,800. All the railway track has been taken up except 2,400 feet on the tide flats. This is built on a trestle, the timbers of whioh are in good condition, aud will be lifted in the spring when the snow is off the ground. The closing of the camp marks the end of logging iu the Alice Arm district, except on a small scale. The whole of the Kitsault Flats has now been logged. Some good stands of timber, however remain, but not enough in one place to pay a profit at present prices. Alice Arm Logs Being Shipped South The log- carrying barge, Biscayne arrived at Alice Arm early on Tuesday morning. She was towed north by the powerful tug Pacific Monarch. The Biscayne has been loading logs throughout the week from F. L, Housley's camp. The logs are destined for Powell River and will be the last logs to leave the Kitsault Flats this winter. Estate of Late J. 0. Trethewey Divided Among Children and Relatives Net estate amounting to $587, 239 was left by J. O. Trethewey the well known lumberman and mining owner. The late Mr. Trer thevvey was owner of several mining properties at Alice Arm, also oond noted logging operations here for several years. The estate will be divided among children and relatives. To a son, Joseph Edgar Trethewey of Abbotsford, he bequeathed $60,000 and one-sixth of the residuary estate. One-sixth shares of the residue were eaoh left to his other children, May Simmonds, 1260 Bid well street, Margaret Gray of Abbotsford, Myrtle Bird, 4750 Hudson avenue, Cora Trethewey of Newton Lower Falls, Mass, and William Trethewey, 1758 Kings way, New Westminster. A brother, James, Trethewey, 530 Ash street. New Westminster, receives a $10,000 legacy, and two sisters, Elizabeth Dolby of Chilliwaok and Emma Brett of Chilliwaok receive the same. An annuity of $2400 for life was left by the testator to his divorced wife, Rita Belle Trethewey, of Ab botsford, and an annuity of $600 to her son, Joseph Massen Trethewey, until he is 21 years of age. The principal asset comprises 585,000 shares in Abbotsford Lumber, Mining & Development Co. Ltd., valued at $468,000. There is also a balance owing by Joseph Edgar Trethewey on the purohase of shares in the company for $113, 086 of $84,400. The exeoutors are Joseph Edgar Trethewey, William Gray, who is the deceased's son-in-law, and R. W. Harris, K.

Sheen, with an attack of grippe, no Anyox news arrived at the Herald office this week. This, we very much regret, especially as several important news items were awaiting publication. Our readers can rest assured that everything possible was done to prooure the news, but the late announcement made it impossible. All this week's news will be oarried in our next issue. Today is the last of the old year. It should also be the last of your old suit. A. Galy. Captain E. A. Dickson and Chief Officer Ernest Sheppard have been exonerated from all blame in connection with the grounding of the S. S. Catala, at a court of inquiry held in Vancouver. Chief Officer Sheppard was in charge at the time the ship struck the rocks. He stated that a mirage existed at the time the ship struck, which deceived the officers as to the ship's position. As the accident happened at the height of the tide it was also presumed that Sparrowhawk buoy had drifted a short distance. The many friends of these popular officers in the north will be pleased to learn that they are held blameless. Coastwise Steamship & Barge Co. Buy More Barges Capt. James Griffiths of Seattle, head of the Coastwise Steamship & Barge Co., announces that he has purchased the steamers El Abeta, El Cedro and El Ciouta from the Los Angeles Lumber Product Co. and will place them in the ore carrying service between Stewart and Anyox and Tacoma. The three vessels, whioh for some years were engaged in carrying lumber and logs between Massett Inlet and Seattle and other American ports, are now being drydock ed in Los Angeles before being turned over to the Coastwise Company to enter service on the British Columbia coast. Capt. Griffiths also announces the sale by the Coastwise Steamship & Barge Co. of the steamer Griffco, long in service on this coast, to the Inter-Island Steam Navigation Co. of Honolulu. The Griffco will leave Puget Sound almost immediately for Honolulu to enter the Hawaiian inter-island service. Cold Weather Prevailing To date, this winter has been the coldest on record, and a record snowfall has also been experienced. The coldest weather of the season occurred this week, when the ther mometer registered three below zero. From present indications it is very probable that the weather will continue to get colder. New Year Party Tonight at Alice Arm Hotel We are again on the threshold of another year. Another year has passed away, and it has not dealt unkindly with the Anyox and Alioe Arm distriot. Everyone has made a living, many have increased their savings; some have gained further experience, and uot many have lost ground. Abject poverty, as it is known in the big cities is a stranger to us, and we have a lot to be thankful for. > The big Anyox plant of the Granby Co. has operated uninter- uptedly throughout the past year, producinga yellow stream of wealth that creates many happy homes in this district, and adds considerably to the prosperity of the whole province. Alice Arm has passed a successful year and while no big developments have taken place, steady progress has been made, from which everyone will benefit in the years to come. It is true that the price of all metals were at a low ebb during the biggest part of the year, but all signs point to a steady increase in price during the coining year. The annual New Year party will be held at the Alice Arm Hotel on Saturday evening when the residents of Alice Arm will be the guests of Mr. and Mrs. O. Evindson. Refreshments will be served at midnight. National Debt Decrease The national debt of Canada decreased by $70,189,814 in the first half of the current fiscal year, that is from April 1st to September 30, 1927. Stewart Short Line May Be Extended to Peace River It is expeoted in many quarters that should the C. P. R, decide to build a railway from the Peace River Country to the coast that they will make Stewart the terminus. During the past few- weeks several things have pointed to the possibility of such an event. Following is an article published in the Portland Canal News dealing with the matter: ' Railway construction has been the chief topic of conversation iu Stewart during the week. Last Sunday the Portland Canal News received by wireless, aud bulletined, confirmation of the sale of the Canadian Northeastern Railway, better known as the Portland Canal Short Line, to English capitalists, and the faot that finances were available for a rehabiliation of the old road to its terminus at American creek. 'Later iu the week word came of activities by the C. P. R. in the Peace River section which it is expected will eventually result in direct connection between the great farming area and the sea-port of Stewart. "Dispatohes from Winnipeg, Edmonton and Vancouver all concede that Stewart will be the western outlet for the Peace River country, and this consumation may be effected much sooner than even the most optimistic have hoped for. "According to last Sunday's mes sage, reconditioning of the road will start at the beginning of the New Year, when 15 miles of line from Stewart to Red Cliff will be put in shape. It will be ready for operation by August, 1928. "This section of the road will serve a number of mines which are being developed in the district. It will also be utilized as a logging railway in connection with a sawmill to be ereoted in the vicinity of Stewart. "An extension of six miles up Bear River will be undertaken and finished by August. 1929. This will serve the George Copper, Argenta, Rufus and Red Top mines. "The present project is fully financed for 1928-29. and Hon. H. H. Stevens is now in England in connection with ambitious plans which the oompany has in view. "The company hopes, after reconditioning the first 15 miles, to Continued on Page 4 ALIOE ARM AND ANYOX HERALD, Saturday, December ;31 1927 Alice Arm & Anyox Herald Issued every Saturday at Alice Arm Alice Arm and Anyox $2.50 Yearly Other Parts of Canada, $2.75 British Isles and United States, $3.00 Notices for Crown Grants - - $15.00 Land Notices .... $15.00 Transient Advertising, 50c. per inch Contract Rates on Application. E. MOSS, Editor and Publisher. An appeal has been put forward for forming one more Province, so as to cover the Peace River District. Is it necessary or even advisable? Sometime ago the Winnipeg "Tribune" analyzed the situation in Canada under the title of "Too Much Government". Some of the figures were: There are 905 persons engaged in legislating, being one for every 9.74 persons. These gentlemen—and ladies draw $2,700,000 yearly. The Federal Parliament has 235 members and the Senate 87; these draw $4,000 each a year; making a total expense of $1,463,000. Ontario, for a population of 2, 933,682 has a Legislature of III, who draw, with the Ministers, $228,400. Quebec has two houses, with 24 and 81 members respectively, who draw $279,000. Nova Scotia has 21 members drawing $1,500 and 43 drawing $750; this gives a total of $63,400, exclusive of Ministers. New Brunswick has 48 members drawing $73,000. Prince Edward Island has 30 members drawing $15,800, exclusive of Ministers. Alberta has 60 members drawing $175,500. British Columbia has 47 members drawing $ 148,500. The members of Saskatchewan draw $131,200; and those of Manitoba, $118,500. To these figures must be added the expenses of the Lieutenant- Governors and their staffs, as well as the officials of the Parliament and Legislatures. The Peace River is exceedingly prosperous, but why load the cost of a separate Provincial Government on it? A wise move is that towards uniting the three Maritime Provinces, and thus curtailing the heavy burden they have to bear. Curtailment of governmental expense is far wiser than adding to it. Consolidated Enormous Dividends Consolidated Mining & Smelting Company of Canada will pay a] dividend of $3,176,381 to its shareholders on January 1. This is at the rate of 5 per cent, on its issued capitalization of $12,- 705,525 and a bonus of $5 a share on the 508,221 shares issued. Thedividendisforthesix months ended Deoember 3rd. This dividend and another of approximately equal size, declared by the company for the first half of the year, will make the largest paid by a mining and smelting company of the Northwest, it is believed here, being at the rate of 10 per cent, for the year with a $10 bonus. Premier Dividends Are NearlyJMMOOO The usual quarterly dividend of $400,000 will be paid by the Premier Gold Mining Company on Jan nary 4. This will bring the grand total of dividend payments to $11, 75(1,947, In recent months there has been a movement of Premier shares to British Columbia and it is stated ou good authority that about 2,000,000 shares are now held in the province.

They will be located on the western side of the harbor. Increasing interest is being manifested throughout the country in the project sponsored by the Department of National Defence regarding light-aeroplane clubs, and two queries have been received formally requiring the Government to fulfil its part of the scheme by shipping the two Moth planes promised under the provisions of the plan. Montreal and Edmonton are the first two applicants.

The Britisher does not seek publicity in his business deals, he stated, with the result that large sump of money were often placed in the Dominion and never heard of. A case in point he mentioned was the investment of himself and five other capitalists of £200,000 in timber interests in British Columbia five years ago, and upon the success of the venture the further investment of £300,000. r~ Welcome Hotel Alice Arm Comfortable Rooms for Rent Tobacco ud Soft Drinks Cigars, Cigarettes A.

This was the objective of Sir Donald Mann and will require a stretch of steel 535 miles long through a country of vast potentialities. It would give the shortest connection possible between the Pacifio Coast and the Peace River district. 'Two light locomotives for construction work, flat cars and a caboose will be shipped shortly from Vancouver. A crew of 125 men will be used in the first development. "Meanwhile the activities of H H. Stevens and W. A. Lewth- waite and tlieir London backers seem to have stirred others into activity. A dispatch from Winni peg says: "It is understood here that the C. P. R. has offered $30,000,000 to the Alberta government for the Edmonton Dunvegan and Great Waterways railways, with its 990 miles of track. "President E. W. Beatty, K. C, of of the C. P. R., is on his way west to Edmonton. "Purchase of the E. D. and G. W. railway will give the C. P R. con trol of the whole of northern Alberta, and it is understood the company plans to oarry the line through to Stewart. "Sir Henry Thornton is understood to have offered Alberta the physical valuation of the railways, which would amount to the same as tbe C. P. R. offer, but in this plan Sir Henry has been opposed by the minister of railways, Hon. Chas. Dunning, who favors C. P. R. acquisition. "Those who are familiar with the situation claim that the outcome of this big fight for the northern country will be an outstanding event in the history of the west." Peru Increases Mineral Production Peru's mineral production in 1926 increased 24 per cent in value over that for the preceding year, says the U. S. Department of Commerce. With the exception of vanadium and gold, all the metals mined in Peru experienced a price decline. The value of mineral production amounted to ^22,453,627, an increase of £4,392,845 over the figure for 1925. Bad habits are like a comfortable bed—easy to get into, but hard to get out of. H. M.

Canadians hold the record for eating eggs. The average Canadian last year consumed 337—-a record according to Dr. J H. Grisdale, Deputy Minister of Agriculture. ToBacco-growing is flourishing in Western Ontario, and this year the acreage will likely run to 45,000 or double that devoted to the produc- tion of this plant in 1925 The crop last year was valued at $6,000,000. One of the most powerful radi> stations in Canada will be erected ut Red Deer, Alberta, in the near future. Stations will be operated ie Calgary and Edmonton by remote control to the main station. New Zealand will be officially represented at the World's Poultry Congress at Ottawa, July 27 to August 4. R, W. Hawke, one of thi Island Dominion's best known pou!. try breeders, will represent that country. Besides the game fish hatchery which will be established by the Dominion Government in the Wateron Lakes district in Southern Alberta, a commercial fish hatchery will Da established in the north. The latter will also handle certain species of game fish suitable to lake waters. The Canadian Pacific steamship passenger traffic through the port of Saint John during the winter season of 1926-7 was over 40 per cent, greater than that of the previous season, and it is expected that the summer traffic through the St. Lawrence port will show a still greater increase. The last addition to the chain of Canadian Pacific hotels is the "Hotel Saskatchewan," located at Regina, opening on May 24.

Prince Georte. 4\-Rt. Hon. Stanley Baldwin, Prim. Minister of Great Britain. Smoothing the Path of Princes When Princes of the Blood Royal visit their Dominions Overseas they have to go through a great number of ceremonies, receptions and functions which in the aggregate furnish a considerable amount of hard work which makes of their trip anything but a vacation time. -When, further, they are accompanied by the Prime Minister of the Old Country, although the latter may relieve them somewhat in the matter of speeches, the tour becomes all the more arduous by" reason of its greater significance. Accordingly, there is all the more cause to make their few private hours as comfortable as possible and this has been amply looked after in the Canadian Pacific Royal Train that is conveying the distinguished guests across the Dominion. Grouped on the observation end of the private car Mount Stephen that has been assigned to the use of the Royal guests are the personnel of the attendants and others whose duty it will be to make the princes and the premier forget their hard work in the lap of luxury. They are all picked men who have been out at one time or another with celebrities travelling C.P.R. across Cana" da. The chefs are men of European reputation who are acknowledged experts in their line. They have accompanied the Prince of Wales on his previous visits to Canada and so are known to His Royal Highness.
