STBHTISING rates on application E ONLY NEWSPAPER PUBLISHED 'ORT GEORGE NOT CONTROLLED BY A TOWNSITE COMPANY. Saturday, February 3rd. 1912 |HE following is it copy of the petition circulated by paid agents of the Nat- Resources Security Company, Ltd., of louver, lor the purpose of supporting pplication which that nervy concern before the Railway Commission, re- iing that august body to use its con- over railway corporations to further Hs of, and verify the statements of Wnsite company aforesaid: j THE CHAIRMAN AND MEMBKRS OF THE DOMINION RAILWAY COMMIS BION. The petition of the undersigned, fcsidents and settlers of Fort George and liclnity, io the province of British Colum- tia, respectfully shows that; ! THAT heretofore on or about the l8tli. May of November 1911, the Indian Reservation at Kort George was purchased through the Dominion Government for lhe use of the G. T. P. Railway Company. THAT your petitioners confidently, and it is believed reasonably, expected that ■hereupon said railway company would ■lake formal announcement of its plant With reference to said reservation, fixing Ihe precise location of its station and jight-of-way thereon, but that suid com* ■any has utterly failed to make public any Statement whatsoever, regarding the use which property was to be put. THAT by the terms of its charter id railway company was to have had Its road completed to this place gomie time ince That several years ago the company ade known its intentions of placing an nportant townsite on said reservation, hat for marly one year and a half the ;itnpatiy has had on Iiie in the provincial land ofliccs maps and plans showing its ight oi way through, and extensive sta ion grounds in said reservation. That luring practically all this time it hat in currently reported that said station otild be centrally located near the west- tii boundary of such property, and that Formal announcement of the fact would he ade by the company as soon as the purchase of said reservation was consummated. That said reports have Ifeen circulated so widely and with such apparent authenticity that if unpro\ed it was incumbent upon the said railway company to deny the same but that laid company nns utterly failed so to do. That believing and influenced by such statements and facts, your petitioners in common with thousands of others, purchased at a very early date, practically all the apuilable townsite and other property adjacent to said reservation for sums aggregating several millions' of do'lars, and that largely by reason ol the long and entirely unlorseeu delay on the part of the company in acquiring said reservation and making said announcements, such investments have for a long period of time been rendered unproductive, and the development of said property retarded. That unless the aforesaid definite forma] announcement is made at a very early date, the confidence of the general public in the titure of Kort George will be seriously tnpaired, with the result that the attendant ,nd wholly unnecessary uncertainty will uin our business lor the present year, nd will greatly retard the opening up of large district now ripe for development esides working Irremidable loss and in- nrv to large numbers ol investors. THAT said reservation represents an -.vestment ol the part ol the railway of bout 5)3S,000. That thc investment of mmcdiately adjoining properties aggregate leveral million dollars, and that your petitioners feel that it is wholly unjust and n-reasinable that the interest of so large a umber of people should be jcpardized nd the progress of an entire community etnrded by the arhitnry action ol a com- lany representing a mere Iraction ol the allies involved, wherefore your petitioners lost respectfully pray: TIIAT YOUR IIONARAIILE BODY be leased to use its good offices in procuring om thc Grand Trunk Pacific Railway impnny a definite and speedy onnounce- icnt of the location ol its station in ■aid Indian Reservation, at the most con- 'enicnt and central point with reference to ihe needs of this community, together vith the publication ol such oilier inform- itlotl as may be desirable with a view to stablishing that degree of confidence and ertainty in the local situation which ii equisite to business stability and the irosperitv of the community: AND YOUR PETITIONERS will ever pray;— reasons why this petition is such a mockery of counterfeit public aims ef. These reasons have been laid be- e Railroad Commission at Ottawa people of South Fort George, a meeting of whom was held in the all last Saturday night. Taking the nts against the petition in their re spective order, we will dispose of them by a process of elimination which will not stand very much counter argument. (1) In the first place the petition purports to eminate from the people of this district, wl.ereas it represents in reality the interest of a small faction up here that are props in the stage setting of the Vancouver promoter, who prompts their actions from tike wings, and marks their effect in his scenario. (2) That with the first operation of the Natural Resources Security Company Ltd., they represented on their maps and plans that railroad terminals would be placed in close proximity to their property, and that they later moved the "proposed station" to another point on their maps to suit the requirements of further sales. That on several occasions the company has represented that the station would be at a certain exact point, near their townsites, and that the reports which the petition refers to eminated from the Natural Resources Security Company to aid them in their lot-selling campaign, and are signed by the name of its president, one George J. Hammond, of whom more anon. (3) That the millions of dollars which the Natural Resources concern's petition claims to be involved, has only become so by the unscrupulous methods used by them in the promotion and sale of the twenty odd thousand lots, and which is tl»e sum they refer to. On this huge property there is a total population oi 75 persons. (5) That the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway Company have already advertised tha fact that it is not associated with the Natural Resources Security Company in any town- site. (6) That, as stated by the public meeting of citizens here, representing the independent interests, no selection of a railway station here should be made until the Railway Commission can visit this place. WHEN grim death . awoke to the fact that old John Houston was mocking him over the rim of eternity, he gathered him into his fold. That was in the spring of 1910. The Fort George Tribune then became the property of the Natural Resources Security Company Ltd, in a roundabout and very questionable manner. From that time on instead of exposing the hobble-dehoy townsites, as had been its wont under "old .John," it became part of the promoting concern's publicity scheme. Its columns would feature desirable tit-bits of "news" without much regard for veracity, which would be reprinted in their advertising literature, and credited to a paper which the public knew had been run by a man whose proud boast was that he had "never worn the corporation collar." The paper was run always under an alias. The advertising manager of the townsite concern has generally figured in the mock-ownership. Now, however, a young journalist from Vancouver has appeared on the scene, and has announced the fact that he is "it," in so far as the policy of the Tribune be concerned. To quote his statement: "To begin with, this paper owes allegiance to no company, political party or administration, whether local, provincial or federal. It recognises ,no authority outside the walls of the Tribune office, situated on Central avenue, Fort George, and it means to have this thoroughly understood: the sooner the better. It will stand and fight first, last and all the time for Fort George city and district, not for any one small portion thereof, but for the whole. Today it has no fight with any man or faction, but war will be sure and sudden at the first sign of defection from the loyalty due this district from every man in it." That promises well. We hope to see the Fort George Tribune, by its future policy, make good for the insult it has offered to the dead journalist whose name it has flaunted as its founder, for the past two years. We ure glad to see the new editor declare his independanee and state that he will not carry a spear in Hammond's chorus like those who have gone before, A commendable policy, that of boosting for the "whole district," and from such a newcomer his threat of sanguinary war and death to traitors reads very well. The editor of this paper has lived in tl»is district for six long years. He saw Port George in the days when its existance in the scheme of things consisted of a log Hudson's Hay post only.' Like our friend with the fine ideals, we jealously guarded the well-being of the place, and when a get-rich-quick artist from other fields sought to plunder the place of its heritage before it came of age, we did our best to fight him off. We shortly come before the court charged with criminal libel. We promise the Fort George Tribune that as a loyulty stunt the consequences of this trial will be immense. It will also give the Fort George Tribune a chance to dwell impartially upon a matter of very grave public interest. WE have had a number of enquiries regarding the Fort Fraser and also the Fraser Lake townsites. The first mentioned is being promoted by the Dominion Stock and Bond Corporation, of Vancouver, and the last is partly owned by the G. T. P. Railway and partly by a Winnipeg real estate firm. "Toronto Saturday Night," a paper that is considered an authority on investments all over Canada, passes the following opinion on the sites in a recent issue: "I may say the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway, a month or so ago, issued a statement in connection with this matter to the effect that the property the railway company was offering for sale at Fraser Lake should not be confounded with Fort Fraser Townsite, which is offered by the Dominion Stock and Bond Corporation of Vancouver, B. C, Since that time the latter company has issued a long statement defending their proposition and saying their land is the better stuff. The G. T. P. stated that there was no railway at Fort Fraser and that there was not even a siding there. I think the G. T. P. has a little the better of the argument and I would not advise purchasing the Fort Fraser property." CITY AND DISTRICT A. W. Healy, formerly manager of James Reid Ltd., of Quesnel, but of late years the popular traveller for thc linn of W. H. Malcolm & Co., of Vancouver, arrived in town this week, having drtven in with Mr. John Holt, of Quesnel. Mr. Healy reports a great interest expressed outside regarding this place. Mr. John Holt, the versatile political enthusiast, from Quesnel, was amongst the arrivals from Quesnel this week. Mr. Holt is organizing for the Liberals in the district. Whin we knew him in days gone by, he was president of the Quesnel Conservative Association. He tells us, howeper, that since those dnys he has reconstructed his views. Variety is the spice of life, and Mr. Holt appears to like spice, even in politics, but no matter what cause he next adopts, "Johnny" Holt is at any rate a good fellow—and a good farmer. F. T. Burden, P. L. S„ of Fort George, was amongst the arrivals from the south this week. Mr. Burden states that the interest outside in the Fort George country now is very intense. He anticipates a great influx into this country this year, after the opening of navigation. Don't fail to attend the Firemen's Ball in the Fort George Theatre next Wednesday night. It promises to be a most enjoyable event. Tickets, {,1 each) can be procured from any of the local stores. J. A. Fraser, M. L. A. for this district, introduced, on the second day of the legislature a petition from the British Columbia and Alaska Railway for leave to introduce a private bill to amend its Corporate Act. Now what do they want—guaranteeing? THE annual meeting of the South Fort George Conservative Association, held in the Fire Hall last Tuesday night, was fittingly well attended. Considerable, and well-earned tribute was paid to Mr. P. Campbell, president of the association during the past year. Mr. Calmpbell represents the best type of the Conservative party's support, and during the past year he has accomplished a great deal. In his work he has been ably assisted by the rest of the association's officers. Mr. Campbell refused to again stttnd for office. The officers for the ensuing year are; Hon. President, Hon. Thos. Taylor. President, Chas. E. McElroy. Vice-President, William Kennedy. Sec.-Treas., George E. McLaughlin; and Executive Committee, M. C. Wiggins; Edward Roberts; Albert Johnson; and D. B. Lazier. ■^VERY stage brings in some of our ■■"■' citizens from the world outside. They all state that indications point to a very busy season during the coming year. From Winnipeg we are informed that the influx will be very heavy, and that a great deal of building will be carried on at South Fort George. Received from Minneapolis: "Editor: You folks better look out, or your friend George J., will steal your passenger station. The Nat. Res. Sec. Co. are sending out petitions to be signed and forwarded to Ottawa so as to get the depot at their end of the reserve..." Stranger, cease to worry; we are "looking ouf—ALL THE TIME. Engineer Barrow, and his G. T. P. survey party, who have been working in this vie nuty recently under their popular transitman, Mr. Reginald Jes- sop, left for Ashcroft early in the week. PUBLIC MEETING. f|lHE real estate market has begun to •* show signs of activity. Close-in acreage is in heavy demand on the outside, and the local operators state that the market is showing signs of improvement every day. The weather, during the past week, has been a continuul source of pleasure. If we had ordered it, a-Iu-carte, it could not be better. A public meeting was held in the Fire Hall last Saturday evening to take action against the application of the Natural Resources Security Company, I before the Railroad Commission for the location of tha station site in close proximity to their townsite. The meeting was well attended. By request of the meeting Mr. Chas. E. McElroy took the chair. Several gentlemen spoke at length upon the ill-advised action on the part of the townsite concern in trying, by force of mal-created circumstances to insinuate their absurd claims to a vastly important public privelege thus prematurely. A committee, consisting of Messrs. C. E. McElroy; J. B. Daniell, and Geo. E. McLaughlin were appointed to lay the objections of the majority before the Railway Commission, 1'Alil'.

Tiny Insinuated themselves under the hat brim aod behind the ears, whilst the trumpeting tin si|'uitocs made a frontal attack on every exposed purt ol tlie body. Packs grew heavy in the boggy ground, and tempers were sorely [relied, but the camp fire affoTded some rebel, and at last, snug beneath the mosquito tcnl we lay n very Tantalus meal to the hungry horde without. The lilth day's walking brought us to the lust stage ol the journey. Construction gangs working on the roads were passed, and the feeling of town grew girudunlly stronger. But no mile is so long us the Inst lilile, and that drop down the bench lands af the Fraser Valley into the settlement of Smith Fort George seems woiiderlully extended. The town is hidden from view until the very lasl moment, and when the little frontier burg of wood and canvas comes into sight at last one is right nbove it. South Foil George has beaten the s] u fed town o[ Fori George, which lies over three milcs away on the Nechaco, llle child ol a large townsite company. Ft can boast <>[ a population of 340 as against 140, and it bundles all the present business j nf the districl. Banks, stores, a siwmill and a wharf give it a busy appearance; and lhc lasl touch was added on July I, when a theatre was Opened. The Fort George 011 the Nechaco River lives morc in the unknown future, ami if optimism, batked bv a powerful company, can make a town, it may make good, but at pres.nl j the line large townsite is a dreary c.earing with a lew .stores and the company's hotel grouped iu the centre. Both towns are 1 wailing ,,n the result ol the Grand Tpunk i Pacific's negotiations (or the purchase ol the lndiun Reserve, uud on their announcement of wliere they will put their depot. Meanwhile South Fort Oeorge do.s business along the water [rout. In the surrounding country settlers are 1 few. Sonic fifty at luosl are located with- , in a twenty or thirty mile circle of the | town. A considerable portion ol the country, however, is good, but land companies have grabbed most of it, uud prices j lor land, that must be cleared, and is slill over 300 miles Irmn u railway, run all the wny Irom Slo to $2f, un ucre.
