C., SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 1912. ^ &. etcJ * : i t? .PER-ANNUM SOUTHWINS CUP The South Fort Oeorge baseball Uttm are rightly proclaimed champ- ion9 0f central British Columbia. Since our lost edition two games b&ve been played the winning ot bolh of which was necessary for the holding of the Carney Challenge Cup by south Fort George, both of which games they won. f The first ol these games was played at the Nechaco ball ground last Sunday afternoon against the "Fort George" team. This game resulted in a score ol twelve runs to one In favor of South Fort Oeorge. Russel Walker pitched for the winning team, surpassing his previous showings. The Nechaco team were unable to score against his pitching, and he fanned out player after player whose hatting average has been high throughout the series of whieh this game w.b the last. The crowd was possibly tbe largest gathering of its kind since ball playing started here, and the enthusiasm of the opposing sides was very marked. There was considerable controversy over the feet that tbe Bouth Fort Oeorge team bad two players on its team from the Grand Trunk construction stuff, and a strong kick was put up in a futile attempt to have them ruled out. There was no foundation to the argument, however, as the Nechaco team have plByed, In Instances, men who were not even residents of the district. The articles provide that any bona fide resident of the district shall be entitled to play ball on the teams competing for the cup, the registration of players, although also provided for, has never been conformed to throughout tbe series. The two umpires gave very fair decisions, with the exception of an instance when a man was called safe on second base when he was undoubtedly out, giving a run before the innings was over. The result of the game on Sunday. gives the Carney Challenge Cup to South Fort George tor the year 1912, sb far as the local series of games was concerned. On Monday tbe steamer "B. X." arrived from the south with the Quesnel team on board to play a "sudden death" game tor the cup. This game was played on the South Fort Oeorge diamond, and was a sensational event. It was gratifying to note that many membesr of the home team's late adversaries were In the crowd "rooting" for South Fort Oeorge. It shows that they are good sports and good losers.

It is reported the team has had their suits pressed and returned to the newly-formed and much-advertized headquarters of the dispensers ( ? ) of natural resources, A. B. Clarke was umpire. The game with Quesnel,,resulted ln another big victory for the home team, the score closing at 11 to 3 in their favor. Walker pitched throughout the game, duplicating his record for the previous day for clever pitching. Or. Lazier, of South Fort Oeorge, and Fred Curtiss of Quesnel, umpired. Until the sixth innings the score recorded four runs to two in favor of the victors, and the fans were working as bard as the players. In the seventh innings, Brown, Sher- ad'n, Walker, Close and Henry all scored runs, giving the home team a big lead. SOUTH II; QUESNEL 8.

PEACE RIVER BY FALL An Edmonton despatch states that an official announcement was made in the Albertan capital recently by A. C. Galbraith, superintendent of works, that 120 miles ot steel on the Edmonton, Dunvagan & British Columbia railway will be laid this season, affording connection with Athabasca Landing, north ot Edmonton. A track-laying machine, capable of covering a mile a day, will begin work shortly and continue operations to the Peace river. The completion of this road will open millions of acres of agricultural lands, besides tapping rich lumber and mineral districts, which are now without railway facilities. Several large sawmills will be established in 1913 by American firms. The grade between Edmonton and Athabasca Landing has been completed. The company has a site of 142 acres tor terminal purposes in Edmonton and will use the union station, to be erected by the Grand Trunk Railway company at a cost of $400,000 tor its passenger traffic. GOVERNMENT MAPS We have received copies of the maps issued by the Surveyor General's department during the past season. Some of these maps show the alienated and unalienated areas in this district to the date of their publication, and they have been of vast assistance to settlers in this section. TRAIN SERVICE TO TETE JAUNE CACHE A weekly train service to Tete Jaune Cache was commenced this week, according to advices received from the end of steel. The service is tri-weekly, and the trains are carrying dining cars and all regular conveniences. LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTS ARRIVE The importance of the Grand Trunk Pacific townsite at this point and the great interest evinced by far-seeing interests and railway men in particular, stamps the future city on the reserve as one of the tig railway and commercial centres of the province. The average man needs no abnormal range of vision to convince himself of this truism, and none need be a Hill, a Harriman or a Chamberlin to realize that a province with the extent and area of British Columbia (larger than the largest state in the American union) its fertility of soil and adaptation to habitation can long remain unpeopled, when the cry for land is re-echoing from Atlantic to Pacific, The key centre of a 1200-mile square province is at the confluence of the Fraser and the Nechaco. The Grand Trunk Pacific are cognizant of this fact, and the importance of the point is to receive consideration in its laying out second to Prince Rupert, the Pacific terminus of the railway. Hundreds of towns along the line of the transcontinental have been platted, but none, with the one exception above noted, have risen to the dignity or possessed the favor of the railway officials like the old historic Hudson's Bay Fort George. One hundred and seven years since Fraser landed on the banks of the Indian reserve, little change was wrought, but tcday landscape architects are on the ground and preliminaries undertaken with a view to making the future inland capital resplendent with 20-century beautification and an ornament to the hub or geographical centre of a province that is the crown jewel in the Canadian confederation. The gentlemen selected for the carrying out of this work arrived here on Thursday and are none other than Mr. Geo. D. Hall and Mr. Franklin Brett, of the firm of Messrs. Brett and Hall, of Boston, the landscape artists who made the plan of Prince Rupert, whose work has received very favorable mention. An extract from an article in the railway booklet written by Mr. Hall at the completion of his labors at Prince Rupert reflects in a marked degree the personal pleasure the work afforded in having absolute unity in all interests in the making of the Prince Rupert plan. The extract: "Seldom, if ever, has it fallen to the lot of landscape architects to plan for what is to become a great city with less restrictions at the start, or with better surveys upon which to base plans that was accorded to Brett & Hall, of Boston, by the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway Company. The far-sightedneis of this policy and (he genuine desire of the railway officials, from President Hays down, to plan for a model city, capable of large expansion—free from the dangers of congestion of traffic—preserving for the future an opportunity for wise municipal improvements—indicating suitable sites for churches, schools, parks and cemetery—and locating railway yards and wharves so as best to serve the city, has promoted a sympathetic co-operation between the railway company and the Government of British Columbia, as joint owners, and the landscape architects as designers." It is to be hoped that all interests bordering the reserve will subordinate their plans to the making of a plan that will not be looked upon in the future as a monument to narrow vision. The architects will remain here fifteen days, going over the ground and noting the salient points in the work ahead of them. The topographical surveys, conducted by Mr. J. Gill, the past two months, are about completed and ready for the visiting architects. Tl 'IMST' One of the latest "acreage propositions" on the market with the bearing the brand of the "Fort George" promoting crowd upon it, is a property" called "Fort George Heights." This interesting flotation is making its debut under the wing of an outfit named the "British Columbia Estates Ltd.," cf Vancouver, the president of which is one R. Kenneth Lindsay, a factotum of our old friend George John Hammond, of Natural Resources tame. We received the literature tff thiB proposition during the week, and we may remark that it does credit to the organization responsible for its production. As an example of nicely working wheels within wheels in the real estate machine it is of more than passing interest. The president of the vending concern, R. K. Lindsay, has for a long time been general utility man for George John Hammond. It was he who steered the correspondent ot the "Winnipeg Post" about these parts shortly before that versatile prgan was induced by Hammond to retract an article printed by them relative to his townsites, entitled "Fort George—The Or glnal Hot-Air Townsite." Lindsay is main stay in George John Hammond's diplomatid corps, and, as we have stated before, it was Lindsay who waa sent to try and bring The Herald to terms tor a discontinuance of our campaign against promotion methods which would not well stand up against the strain of publicity. We lately find this man Lindsay, perhaps as a reward ot merit, presiding over a real estate concern that is selling one of Mr. Hammond's latest townsites, the famous "Heart ot Fort George," and now vending this last concern, "Fort George Heights, so that altogether it would appear as though the British Columbia Estates Ltd., was a subsidiary concern of the Natural Resources Security Company Limited. Some of the references given by President Lindsay are: "The Natural Resources Security Company Limited," or another name for Qeorge J. Hammond, (enough said) The "Fort Qeorge Tribune" the personal organ of George J. Hammond, run by his advertising manager. "George J. Hammond,; the Founder, ot Fort Qeorge" and the "Fort Oeorge Board of Trade" an organisation started by a townsite manager ot Hammond's, and now chiefly composed of his hired help, and run in his interests, and the list ends with "Any responsible firm in British Columbia," which Is certainly funny. s A fac-simlle letter, written by O. J. Hammond, appears under the caption "What the founder of Fort Oeorge thinks about Fort Oeorge Heights", and the founder says, in effect, that the heights are certainly all to the good. Then there is a lot of bunk about things Andy Carnegie said one ought to do to break into the library-giving class, used in argument for the prospective purchasers of Fort George Heights, and also considerable information about railroads, and future development, opportunity, foresight etc etc. Mr. Hammond ends his letter by a statement that puts aside all doubt as to the absolute sincerity and disinterest of his commendation, stating, as he does, "Some of the soil is sand and gravel, and I do not recommend it as garden land." That cinches the deal. Even George J. Hammond will not recommend the land for agricultural purposes. This at once .brings it into the townsite class, for land that is quite useless for other purposes may always be used for townsites. The literature points out that "One acre can be sub-divided into 9 25-foot lots, a discovery which, when properly commercialized, has been proven to produce riches beyond the dreams of avarice. "Fort George Heights" lie at an elevation of about 400 feet above the Nechaco. The land is broken and rough, and Ib cut up by a stream which has high steep banks. Land in front of this property, right on the river front, capable ot raising good crops, has been selling for $150 an acre, having, in our estimation about five times the value, as an investment, of the "Port George Heights," aforesaid, and land can even how be bought In front of this property for {200 an acre. There are subdivided here today about thirty thousand lots, ranging in size from the 25-foot lots ot the Natural Resources Security Company to the 33 foot lots in this townsite. All these lots are grouped around the G. T. P. property on the Indian Reserve, which is to be the railway townBite. This reserve contains 1366 acres of land, about 1000 acres of which will be turned Into lots, making roughly five thousand in addition to those now platted. To permit the sale of land, which the vendors make plain in their literature Is fit only for townsite purposes, across a river at a considerable distance from the present heavily overstocked lot area here should not be permitted. The practice ot selling ofl property in acreage that Is represented as practicable for re-subdivision into lots cannot be too strongly condemned when the floatation Is on a big scale, and at an absurd location. The idea of this method of sale is that the vendors may dodge the clause of the "Land Act" which requires that one-quarter ot all land subdivided into parcels smaller than one acre shall be reconveyed to the Crown. There is nothing against the subdivision ot favorably situated lands for home-sites, or agricultural plots, it such lands are reasonably adjacent to consistent development, but the promiscuous chopping-up of cheap useless land close to a mass of unpopulated townsites should not be countenanced. J. Vallance Anderson, agent for the South Fort George townsite, in Winnipeg, is here on his first visit to the town he has been boosting on the prairies tor a number of years past. Mr. Anderson is well pleased at the remarkable stage ot development attained here by the efforts of independent business Interests, and thinks that South Fort George will make good In a manner that will yet surprise tbe most optimistic ot its boosters. Mr. Anderson is taking a number of photographs of the country and of the townsites here, for use In connection with an extensive publicity scheme which he will float in Winnipeg. He came in by way of Edmonton, over the new steel of the G. T. P. and down the Fraser river, a trip which he declares delightful. Construction work, says Mr. Anderson, is proceeding very actively up the rlverT and the early completion ot the line looks promising. One of Provincial Land Surveyor Humphries' survey parties has been in town for the past few days. They are going to' the Bear river to survey some timber limits. ! • -.«.. ■'" FORI fl pu Dm On, in wha- ttrers poiaa the; It's a beautiful .-./.Tin—that Tbe •tor'.': tn . irra J. b.

Thirty-two large and small steel bridges will be constructed between Resplendant and Port George. After leaving Tate Jaune Cache the road will cross the Fraser river four times before reaching the fort. The first of these bridges is forty seven m les below the present railhead. At the canyon, 65 miles farther west, the survey crosses the river twice within a few miles, recrossing it below the canyon. There is also a bridge at Resplendant, making five spans over the Fraser River. A long bridge will cross the Shuswap river, and one must be built over the Ghost river before trains are run into Fort George. up here In the northern interior of British Columbia, 300 miles from a railway, In a townsite promoted by a man whose reputation in other fields i» that of a get-rlcb-qulck swindler.

Engineers are confident that the golden spike will be driven about twelve months hence, midway between Edmonton and thc coast, but the contractors, who have charge or thc actual work, say the job cannot be completed earlier than the fall of 1914 and possibly not before the middle of 1915.
