Dec. 12th, 1921 Dear Sir: I have attended several meetings here in Alice Arm, including the one that was recently held for the purpose of calling the attention of the government to the needs of this camp. Not being a public speaker I should like to express my views through your paper, with your kind permission. That the camp of Alice Arm is a mining camp everyone is aware, and that its life and existence depends upon our mineral recourses is a fact that no sane person will deny. Yet this fact does not seem to be grasped by the majority of our citizens, whose efforts seem to be directed towards things of a minor importance, such as a road to the Naas River or a cage or bridge across the Kitsault River. Now in my opinion, an automobile road to the Naas Valley would be a nice thing to have, so that when the nasty weather comes we can crank up our car and joy ride to the sunny Naas, and I believe that in due time we will get it. But our most urgent needs should come first, not last, and we must develop our mineral recourses if we wish to see the town of Alice Arm grow and prosper, and our united efforts should be put forth to attain this end. People on the outside seem to think that the Dolly Varden is the only mine here that is even worth while talking about, and right here the Dolly Varden is discussed (instead of cussed) whenever mines or mining is the subject. Now what are the facts.? When the old Dolly Varden Mining Company applied for a right-of-way to build a railroad from the Beach to the Wolf Mine, we, the citizens of Alice Arm asked the government not to give this company a monopoly of this railroad. The Dolly Varden Company was made aware of this request and agreed to make of this road a common carrier. They were given a specified time in which to complete the railway to the Wolf property and we were Gossip sent a wire from our member (the late Mr. Mobley) that our rights would be protected. That it was the intention of the old company to build the railway up to the Wolf is testified by the fact that grading was started and carried on fully one mile beyond the Dolly Varden Mine when the Taylor Engineering Company went broke, like they have done in nearly all their undertakings-a favorite method of theirs apparently. The resulting law suit and the outcome of the notorious legislating is old history and out of respect to your clean little paper I will not quote it as I consider it too obnoxious. The extension of this railway is of vital importance to everyone interested here. Why is there no pressure brought to bear to make the Taylor Mining Company (first cousin of the Taylor Engineering Company) complete the railway to the Wolf as we have a right to demand.? Where are our rights being respected.? Is it done for the purpose of giving the Taylor Mining Company a monopoly on our most promising field, that lies right at the end of the steel.? Do you realize that the Toric, Tiger, Musketeers and Moose properties are practically helpless without transportation, that if these properties were working we would have a live camp here instead of a dead one, that you and I could get work here instead of petitioning the government to build something, it matters not what, so long as it gives us employment.? Do you think that the people who bought the Musketeer group and paid $65,000 for this property are waiting for the ore to grow. ? We all know different. It is up to us to use a little common sense, it is not necessary for us to humiliate ourselves if We will but stand united and demand what should be our just due, viz. the road extended to the Wolf. Because we live on the reserve does not say that We are all natives from Kincolith and can be pacified with a totem pole. OLD TIMER. . The town of Stewart recently experienced a-snowfall, oi nine feet, all of which fell in three days. The snowfall was followed by a heavy rain which converted the town into a sea of slush'. The recent vote at 'Anyox was:' The Beach, Peck 243; Stork 185. The Mine, Peck 132: Stork 43. Total majority for Peck, 147. The Alice Arm vote was Peck 44: Stork 46. The total number of votes cast at Anyox was 603 and the number of votes cast at Alice Ann was 90. A total of 693 votes for the two towns. The bill to limit the hours of labor to eight in any one day in certain industries in British Columbia, was recently defeated in the Legislature by a vote of 24 to 15. Bert Kergin, our local member voted for the measure. 1 Read the advertisements in the Herald, because that's why they were put there. ,, .., B. P. O.

Mr. Dow who is in charge of the boys and girls basketball is having attendances of 35 boys and 20 gh'ls to the afternoon practices which show that a big interest is being taken. Dozens.of younger ones are to be allowed the hall for group games, so it would look as though the three athletic days at the hall are a success. The girls have not yet organized but are eagerly waiting the time when they will be ready for league games. Some of them are showing first-class ability and will make good players. It lias not yet been definitely decided just what hours 'will be given to each sport; efforts are being put forth to see that the boys and girls get the three afternoons from 3.45 p.m. onwards, they will then have the evenings at home for their school work and also the hall will be available for ■i^'*'-T*.'+***4'*'4**'4'*'4'''+'*'f'#'T't'T'*' + ''H i ANYOX NOTES \ 4*.4*.4t9+**4t—t'*'i,*'i''+'9+'*'^,*'4'*' 1 Kodak Finishing, Enlarging and Copying.

Will Santa Claus bring us 14 cent copper. Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Lambert and Mr. D. W. Dow left on Thursday's boat. Mr. James Shepherd of the General Store was a passenger south last week, on holidays. The Elk's party for the children will be held on Thnrsday, December 22nd, at 7 p.m. in the Elk's Hall. Mrs. W. Heighway and daughter who have been spending their holidays in Vancouver returned home last week. Other passengers on Thursday's boat were: Mr. A. A. McKay; T. Hyslop; Ed. Carmody and Chris. Collins. Mr. James Smith left on Thursday for Vancouver and Victoria. Jimmy, however, .expects to be back before very long. Mr. J. Hutchings has a fine lot of young chickens for sale. Just the thing for a good Christmas dinner, Mr. H. S. Munroe, general manager, left for New York last week to consult with the directors of the company. Jack Ellis says he has hardly got time to even shovel snow these days as it keeps him busy packing in the eggs from the egg ranch. Mr. Archie Morton left last week for Vancouver, where he will meet Mrs. Morton who is returning from her visit to her home in Scotland. Jovial Charlie Grey is now in charge of the Elk's Home, and he sure makes the boys feel at home alright, when they drop in for a little recreation. The Elks are holding a dance on New Years' Eve in the Elk's Hall, and everything will be done in the usual Elk style, which is, as everyone knows, A-l. The physical culture classes of the A. C. L. do not appeal to the average married man these days. He has always got his trusty snow shovel to fall back on. The Elk's Home is a credit to the members of the order and a visiting Elk can not but be-impressed with the energy, resourcefulnes and perseverence of this young Lodge. Mr. Fred Brown left on Thursday, for Prince Rupert. It is reported that while Fred is in Rupert he will be initiated into the gentle art of selling good hard government booze. Mr. Al. LaFortune left Anyox on Thursday. Al. had a wide circle of friends in Anyox who are sorry to see him leave. He will be especially missed by the Hockey team this winter. Santa Claus is evidently not going to forget the children this year, and by the time all the different Christmas Trees and Parties are over, Mother will be ready with the castor oil bottle. Mr. and Mrs. F. Turner and daughter left for Enderby in the Okanagan, last Week. Mr. Turner expects to eventually settle on a piece of land in the vicinity of Vancouver or on Vancouver Island The work of converting the shed on the wharf into a liqnor store, is well under way. But whether there will be liquor in that store before Christmas is a thing we would'nt like to say. The two pool tables recently installed in the Elk's building are proving a great attraction. A billiard table will be installed at the beginning of the year. A reading room will also be provided at an early date. Harry Ramage left on Thursday's boat. Bert Scott taking his place as foreman at the coal dock. Bill Bettinson (generally known as slim) who has been confined to the Hospital for several months with rheumatism is replacing Bert as storekeeper at the Coke Plant. A new secretary for the Community League is to be appointed, and it is gratifying that a local man will be given the position. Mr. F. Brown, the retiring secretary having proved to the satisfaction of everyone that a locar^man, can, with the support of the Council, handle the job. \ Several Anyox news items failed to reach the Herald office this week.
