LOCAL NINE WINS THIRDJALL GAME The third game ' in the baseball series between South Fort George and Fort George was played last Sunday on the Fort George diamond before a large crowd of spectators. The game resulted in a sweeping victory for the home team, with a score of 24 to 5 In favor of South Fort George. Stone, the new Fort George pitcher, showed himself to be a ball player of considerable ability, and had his support been stronger, a closer, and" much more interesting game would have resulted. A large crowd witnessed the game, the weather being ideal. The Steamer Chilcotin made an excursion trip to the other town with' the players and their fans. The playing of the South team was up to the usual standard of excellence, although it was noticeable on one occasion that they went "up in the air" for a few minules when a sensational play was scored by the Fort George boys. The next game is scheduled for tomorrow on the new diamond below this place. It is reported that the Fort George team has secured some new material, and that a more exciting game than has yet been witnessed will result. THREE HOSPITALS WEST OF HERE Dr. F. J. Ewing, of Vancouver, who has charge of the medical service along the construction area here, returned to Vancouver recently' from a tour of inspection over the work. To the Vancouver Province he said that the contractors would be supplied from this point as far west as the Bulkley summit. Dr. Ewing has eight hospitals along the grade and will shortly establish three additional ones which will be west of Fort George. Very little sickness, he states, was found to exist among the men engaged on the work of construction. N. H. Lesley, of this town, who is bringing in his car, a five passenger Ford, over the road, was forced to turn back from a stump in the middle of the Blackwater road. The stump knocked the car out in thq first round, and Mr. Wesley ls now waiting at Quesnel for some new parts. "Bill" Collins, who has been manager of the Hudson's Bay Company at Quesnel for many years, has resigned from the service of the great trading company. Mr. Collins has left Quesnel for a short stay at Soap Lake, Washington. The business is at present in the hands of Mr. W. F. Bunting who has for some years been officer in charge of the Fraser Lake post. GOOD PROGRESS ON WESTERN END Boulder Creek Bridge Last Structure Offering Barrier to Rapid Advance. A's soon as the great steel bridge is completed over Boulder Creek, 20 miles east of Hazelton, the steel will take a great leap eastward over the finished grade, which will bring it into and past Aldermere, only 237 miles west of Prince George. ThiB week there arrived here a party of well known land and timber operators from tbe coast, amongst whom were Dave Newell, the Vancouver broker, and Eugene Croteau, well known in tbis section as a locator and cruiser. The party came over the road from Hazelton by stage and saddle horse. The building of the Boulder Creek, bridge will mark the completion of the greatest barrier to progress on the western end of construction, for as Mr. Stewart pointed out to The Herald last fall, the remaining bridge' crossings on the Fraser and other rivers can easily be negotiated on piles until the permanent work could be installed. The big bridge at Boulder Creek is rapidly approaching completion, according to Mr. Croteau, and this side of the gulch which the bridge laying, barring a few culverts, for a distance of about one hundred miles. When the track laying machine crosses Boulder Creek steel will be laid along the grade at a rate ol about five miles a day. Progress all along the line west of here is very satisfactory. The heaviest piece of work on the unfinished portion of the road is a half-million yard cut on the Nechaco river near the mouth of the Stuart River. LEFT UNDISTURBED FOR THIRTY YEARS. While going over the route ot the Canadian Northern along tbe North Thompson River about 112v miles north of Kamloops and 355 miles from Port Mann, engineers discovered a huge pile of copper wire, left there in 1884 by the men who attempted to string a line up to Alaska and lay a oable under the Bebring Sea to Siberia. The wire weighs something like 450 tons*. It lies at the edge of what is known as Stillwater Flats. It is estimated to be worth somewhere between eighty* and ninety thousand dollars. The reason it lay there in the timber for so long was because of the difficulty of transportation and when the Dominion Government abandoned the scheme they left the wire. It is expected that they will soon claim! it now, and that as soon as the Canadian Northern operates its trains as far narth as the Stillwater Flats the wire will be taken out and sold. Great trees having a girth of one oil more feet have sprung up and forced their way through the heap of copper coils. ♦•»•> «* WESTERN PAPERS THAT BARK ON COMMAND. (Toronto Saturday Night). The western papers that have found it to their advantage to back up the Natural Resources Security Company (promoters of the townsite of Fort George), are now making it appear that by the recent decision of the Railway Board whereby the Grand Trunk Pacific will be obliged (unless they can have the decision set aside on appeal) to place the railway station tt a point three thousand feet away from the Natural Security Company's property, in place of six thousand feet as originally intended, the latter corporation have won an outstanding victory. For instance, one of Hammond's weekly mouthpieces in Winnipeg and another in Victoria come out with the flags and a shy of hats, proclaiming to one and all that now the G.T.P. will be obliged to place its facilities, just where the Hammond outfit alwayB claimed it would be placed. As a matter of strict truth the Natural Resources Security Company sold a fair share cf its Fort George realty upon maps showing the G.T.P. stations, etc., actually on the property of the Natural Resources Security Company, and not three thousand feet or any other distance away on the Indian Reserve owned by the G.T.P. .Maps to prove this assertion, all originating fr:m the offices of tho Natural Resources Security Company, are in tlie possession of Saturday Night, and some of them will be reproduced in a coming number, so one may judge for themselves the rights and wrongs of the case. That these western journals should bark at the command of their boss, the President of the Natural Resources Security Company, is perhaps natural enough.' Mr. Hammond bears the reputation of supporting loyally those who support him, so why should not these papers gloss over the real facts if by doing so they can help the Natural Resources Security Company regain some of the ground naturally lost by the fact that the railway will build upon iti own property, and not upon theirs. ANOTHER LARGE BUILDING FOR HAMILTON AVENUE MARSHALL, WELLS tea OPEN SAMPLE ROOMS Amongst the travellers here this week from Edmonton and Vancouver the following firms were represented: Smith, Davidson ft Wright, Vancouver: The Canadian Consolidated Rubber Company, Montreal: Wood & Co. Ltd: and Marshall Wells ft Company. The latter firm, perhaps thq greatest hardware firm on the North American continent, were represented here by the general manager of their Canadian bouses, Mr. Hooper. It is the the intention of this firm to build a permanent sample room here, and to have a regular representative of tar, firm to look after the rapidly increasing volume of business which is being received from the mercantile houses here. -© DAVE HOY'S LIVERY. Dave Hoy, who is starting ia livery business here, arrived in town yesterday with servers! more teams. Mr. Hoy has opened a stable on Third Street. "Dave" is well known throughout the whole upper country. He has for years been ranching in the Nechaco Valley at Milne's Landing, and to The Herald he stated that he had never seen crops looking better than they now appeared. Mr. Hoy was at Fort Fraser tor the twenty fourth of May. Things are quite lively there he states. A good hotel provided excellent accommodation to the traveller there, and many buildings are going up at that point. FORMER CHAMPION WRESTLER. Alec Monroe, a former champion wrestler of Great Britain, and the man who wrestled the redoubtable Hackenschmidt and broke his knee, was amongst the arrivals here from up river this week. Monro is at the present time engaged in work with a contractor on the upper river. He ls a huge man, weighing 260tbs. Mr. Monro has offered his services to the committee tor the first of July celebrations here. He was champion catch-as-catch-can wrestler of the British Isles, and came to America to wrestle Gotch in St Louis where the world's champion defeated him only after a long hard struggle. Mr. Monro also claims the title of champion cabre tosser of the world. He will give an exhibition of his prowess in this latter on the first of July here. STONEY CREEK ENGINEER Among the arrivals here trom up river this week, was George McVicar, of the G.T.P. Engineering department. Mr. McVicar leaves here soon to take up hie duties as resident engineer at Stoney Creek. George McVicar was a member ot the preliminary survey parties who came in to tbis country to locate a G.T. P. line seven years ago this spring. He remembers this place when it was the Thappage pre-emption, and when the Hotel Georgia was the only stopping place within a hundred miles. Other members of the preliminary surveys who are in this country today, are W. F. Oooke, president of the Northern Lumber tt Mercantile Company Ltd: Rusell Peden, also ot that firm: John Daniell, editor of The Herald, J.O. Williamson, postmaster here, John Bronger, ot Bronger ft Flynn, and others. Taat the city has no more right to stop a properly conduces! boxing trout than lt has to step in and prohibit a vaudeville show, is the opinion of Otty Solicitor Brown, ot the City ot Edmonton given at a recent meeting ot the city council. A letter from the Temperance and Moral Reform League requesting the city fathers to pass a bylaw prohibiting such matches provoked this ruling, and the councilmanlc discussion of thie subject. Another large building was started on Hamilton Avenue this week when the contract was let by Mr. C. Merlan tor the erection of a two storey pool hall on a lot adjoining Murphy's restaurant. The building is to be 110 feet in length and 28 feet ln width. It is being built by Messrs. McFarlane ft Bird. The building downstairs will have ten pool tables and two English billiard tables. UpstairB the rooms will be available for offices. Mr. Merion, whp recently arrived here from Edmonton, did not deliberate vary long upon the question of a location, He arrived here one day and bought the property and contracted for the building within the next twenty four hourB. 000 CHAMBERLIN'S DEATH Referring to the tragic drowning of Odo Chamberlin a few weeks ago, at a point on the Fraser abbve here near the mouth ot the Willow, the Vancouver Province says: Mr. Odo Chamberlin, formerly of Vancouver, was twenty five years of age. He was the son of the late Captain James R. Chamberlin, Ottawa, and Mrs. Chamberlin, of Vancouver. He was one of seven brothers, the only sister being Mrs. Quain, of Vancouver. Young Chamberlin was born in Ottawa and came to Vancouver six years ago. Aftc/r some years in the hardware trade, he went north and todk up two preemptions in the northern interior. He worked on the surveys of MessrB. Green Bros, ft Burden. His friends say that he' was a fine manly chap, of great pluck and spirit and that they are afraid that it was his aid- venturous spirit which cost him his life. H<j was a good canoe man and was looked upon as one ot the best men on the river. On occasions he had been known to venture in places where Indians coulld not be paid to go. A sad feature lies In the fact that Chamberlin intended selling his ranch and retming, to the city where he wished to enter into the hardware business. ISSUING GUN LICENSES. Harry Borson, one ot the district's deputy game wardens, arrived here this week from the Cache. Mr. Borson is issuing gun licences, in conformity with the new regulations, to people owning guns along the grade. The idea of the new regulations Ib to .prevent the carrying of firearms by irresponsible huntsmen, who will pick up a gun and "go hunting" without a knowledge of either firearms or game laws. The necessity of owning an un-transterable licence before a gun can be legally carried, will give effect to a judicious use of sporting rifles by people only who can get a decent value out of the licence they must buy. Mr. Borson states that the regulations are well adhered to along the construction zone. DR. M'SAWLEY LOCATES. Amongst tbe arrivals here this week is Dr. McSawley, a medical man who has decided to locate in South Fort George, where he will practice his profession. At the present time South Fort George has but one doctor, Dr. D. B. Lazier, who has practiced here since he arrived in 1910. Dr. McSawley was for ten years physician and surgeon of the Crow's Nest Pass coal company. More recently he has been practicing in London, England, where he went to take a post-graduate course. He was in the London Hospital at Whitechapel, and for a year in the West London Hospital at Hammersmith. Whilst in Loadon he took his degree of M.R.O.S-M.R.C- P. He afterwards, in Edinborough, took his degree of F.R.O.S. Dr. McSawley came down the river from Edmonton. He has recently been practicing in Regina. I »wt , : ' Published by the Northern Interior Printing Company, ,T. B. Daniell, President. Limited Devoted to the Interests of the Fort George District Interior of British Columbia. and the Northern Suijcripttai $3.00 > Veir iu Ad»ira Advertising Rales on Application T IKE the puling cur that returns to its vomit, the organ of the outside townsite interests has again taken up the weary burden of its master, the promoter of doubuful fame who own? the body and soul of the townsite organ's writers. Affairs are shaping themselves in suchwise here, that the old reliable long-distance methods of promotion and salesmanship employed by the townsite promoters who have sold the vast outside sub-divisions, are entirely losing their effectiveness. In order to lay the foundation for a policy of co-operation which the outside townsites now wish to create with the important towns at the natural centres of this locality, their house organ is insidous- ly trying to blind the public, by creating the impression that the interests which are slowly but surely working towards the destruction ot the wild-cat operators, are destructive to the development of the genuine centres. Particularly the house organ wishes to create the impression that The Herald is a detriment, by policy, to the district, We can afford to pass by the amusing efforts of the snapping cur as we are watching the shifting countenance of the man who holds it in leash, In the last issue of the notorious publication owned by the twenty-five foot lot king, its "editor,"in apoorly disguised effort to follow out a line of policy lately adopted by the promoter in his advertising literature, attacks this town and its citizens, and even goes so far as to work in advantageously the wild statements of an erratic young Presbyterian divine of this section, who sought to bring himself into undue prominence before the recent Presbyterian congress at Toronto. The house organ introduces its "stand" under the excuse of bringing out some facts which it considers it to be its unpleasant duty to make public. It rambles through a hackneyed statement about the ultimate area of Fort George and the belief of its " editor" that it will eventually outgrow its present bounds. It continues by denouncing an alleged clique in this town, to whom it lays the blame for narrow-minded views upon the future greatness of outside townsites, and for lawlessness and depravity which, it emphasizes explicitly exists only in this town and not in the townsites from which it operates. It features the fact that here there exist houses of prostitution, and insinuates that these places are in existence owing to this alleged " clique." It also asserts that this newspaper is the worst knocker of all the knockers, and that it possesses a baneful influence. To take these statements of the rag which has voiced them and deal with them at length requires more space than their importance justifies, but we cannot pass by the arrant rottenness of the house organ's accusations without exposing the reasons which impel them. In the first place the mis-begotten organ which drags the name of the late John Houston through the mire of its filthy trail, is published in a huge mass of sub-divisions lying to the west of the future townsite of Prince George. The sub-divisions owned or sold by the townsite concern which owns the townsite organ's debentures consists of many thousands of twenty-five foot lots. The Grand Trunk Pacific railway has announced that their development will commence on the eastern portion of their townsite, or that portion farthest removed from the huge mass of sub-divisions aforesaid. Will any sane man imagine chat the statement of the " editor " of the house organ regarding the growth of the future city over the enormous area now on the market can be taken seriously if this statement is to carry with it the natural assumption that the period for this presumed growth is to be within a period reasonably consistent with the sale of these properties at the time and in the manner in which such sales have been accomplished ? The rotten imputation regarding a vile clique which it alleges exists in this city, is in line with the usual detestable tactics employed by the white-livered cur who wields his faltering pen to make such ambiguous senseless statements. This is a deliberate attempt to win over to the idea of co-operating with the outside townsites a section of this community which the house organ imagines might "fall" for its obvious scheme, and to turn this town against the people who take the time and trouble to work out the course for its best interests, as the house organ knows that these interests will lie with the town of the future of which South Fort George will be an important part, and of which the maze of little lots to the west will have naught in common. Its insinuations regarding the houses of prostitution which exist in this community are as vile as the palsied brain which dared to give such canards voice. The Herald wants to say right here and now that the people of this town, having given the matter thought, and following the common sense and practical policy adopted by other places, stand for a restricted area under proper control. And we have further to say in this connection, since the "editor" of the Nechaco house organ has introduced the subject, that it was not long ago that a meeting was held in the town which claims the stainless reputation, which was attended by some of its most prominent citizens when it was unanimously agreed that houses of prostitution were necessary and should be allowed in their community, The reason why there are no such there is because the authorities believe in segregation. The Herald will not stoop to reply to the veiled insinuations regarding citizens of this community. When it is considered that the house organ was brought into being as a newspaper on the townsites where it is now located by a townsite promoter whose picture is hanging in the rogue's gallery at Terre Haute, Indiana, and which is also No. 3738 in the Pinkerton gallery at Chicago, and that the promoter's townsite company numbered amongst its paid employees, that we know of, two ticket-of-leave men, we think that this is enough to say. Rev. C. M. Wright oi run-i George, in which he alluded to this fair young city as a " Gates of Hell " before the Presbyterian Congress in Toronto, cannot be passed without a few words of comment. We have had several examples of this weakness from the Rev. Mr. Wright to draw unto himself the fleeting attention of the public by methods which would indicate that he seeks reputation rather by notoriety than by more commendable actions. Once, in Vancouver, it is alleged that the Rev. Mr. Wright preached a sermon in which he left his congregation impressed with the idea that Fort George was a regular Circe of cities; a place where lust and vice walked untram- eled ; where the people mocked religion and abetted wickedness and evil deeds. Mr. Wright strives to obliterate sin from the surface. He would drive out houses of prostitution, he would close up hotel bars, and would make religion compulsory. This sort of thing has all been tried before. It gives way to an illicit liquor traffic ; to the erection of foundling hospitals for misbegotten children, and to atheism. W. F. COOKE, Prei.

It looks as if the 8Cow had been broken across just as if some giant had snapped a toy box across his knee. The cargo must have all been spilt into the water. No sign of the bodies haa been discovered and from current report it is unlikely that they will be. The rapids do not give up their dead. The Tonoquah river has been in flood all the past week and the bcows and freight boats carrying supplies to Camps 176, 177 and 172 report deep water all the way up. Mr. Kerr, manager of the Home Bank of Canada at Winnipeg, ha. paid a visit to the Tonoquah on a timber cruising expedition. He stayed with Mr. Willett at Camp 182 and after an enjoyable three days' cruising returned en route to Winnipeg by the Opeiator to Mile 53. Between Camps 180 and 182, on Mr. Graham's homestead, Mr. Forbes has just completed a two storey house which is intended for a stopping place and restaurant. It is hoped success will follow the enterprise as a stopping place outside of the construction camps is badly needed in the vicinity. Donahue's selection is looking quite a feature. The banks of the. river have been grubbed and a garden made. The potatoes, at out half an acre, as well as other vegetables are making a brave show. 1 noticed that he has planted a bed of strawberries which is looking well. I believe that this country will he a great berry country and that thei e is good money in the cultivation and export of the luscious strawberry. 1 was impressed by a boat load of Ontario fruit-growers who came down in a boat the other day en route for Fort George or lower down the river. they were enthusiastic over the soil •nd considered that the cultivation of ta fruit alone on tho river banks "Mid be a large item in the growth of »' the prosperity of the upper Fraaer. Along the line there is quite a plethora of labor. Everyone that one sees on the grade ■•nd cn the river, and there are some hundreds in the week, are all making 'or Fort George. It is rumored that 'here is no work to be had yet on the instruction at Fort George and west- wards- Along the line from Camp 166 "early all the station work is covered, with but few exceptions, down as far M Fort George, and for those few ex- ceptions, big prices are being offered, »o as to have the work completed by V* .5th of August. There will be no difficulty in having the grade ready by that date as far down as Willow river »"d steel should be able to be laid to the river at Mile 190 by this fall. 11 is evident that the Seims-Carey °ulht mean business and will have the hole of their portion of the line com- Plet<**l on time. Mr. W. Carey, accom scows oown through the canyon is bearing fruit. In fact there seems to be an overload. At the present there seems to be quite a choke in the river freighting, some fifty scows being held up at the Upper Cache in order to com-' ply with the new rules. These compel all scows to unload that are carrying more than 15 tons weight of cargo. Fifteen tons is the maximum weight allowed by a scow to go through, also that each scow shall be manned by eight men to handle her during the passage. Laborers are urgently needed to unload the scows and teams to transport the goods across the portage. I am pleased to be able to report that laying steel was commenced at Mile 79 the latter part of May and is now at Mile 85. Some difficulty is being experienced with the track between Mile 53 and 78, and trains only run occasionally—between slides—but it is hoped to have the track again in shape for a daily train by the latter part of this month. The line from Mile 53 to Mile 192 has just been visited by a deputy game warden who has issued quite a number of game licenses. I understand that this is the first year in which game licenses have been issued. The fees, $5, for all kinds of game and $2.50 for shotguns and .mall-bore rifles are not high and a rich harvestjshould be gath- j ered by the time the warden reaches Fort George. The game warden reports that several bears were killed in the camps round 92 and bear meat was in general use at all the camps in that neighborhood. He states at one camp six bears were killed last month. It is earnestly desired that some of the meat would float down below the canyon. The men on the station camp, are kicking against Bait bacon and ham. "When, 0, when is the fresh meat boat coming?" is the burden of their cry. That, and for the love of Mike, send us a potato or we'll all have scurvy.

ERNEST H. LIVINGSTONE May 20th, 1913. Ottawa.—In theCommons Hon. Mr. Pelletier secured the second reading for his bill providing for a system of parcels post in Canada, and the House went into committee on the measure. He explained that there was legislation now on the statutes relating to the parcels post and that this bill did not go outside the powers now vested in the postmaster- general. It had been decided to fix the weight limit of parcels at eleven pounds, and 72 inches would be the maximum of length and girth combined. The zone system would be adopted, but not the same limits as the United States, where the system was exceedingly complicated and difficult for the postmasters to thoroughly understand. It had been decided that for Canada each of the provinces should be regarded as a zone, but three maritime provinces would be combined to form one zone. The first zone of all would be within a radius of twenty miles of the point where the parcel is Kosted, irrespective of provincial oundaries, That would give protection to local dealers and country merchants against the departmental stores in large cities, Mr, Pelletier said that a „,.,.. deputation of retail merchants panic,! h T6' Mr' Wf Carey'8CCom* who had waited uP°n nim t0Pr°- •rin.L .

UITKS 111 MftUIUIg VUUCA ui wfwu w«j There have been no further reports of drowning accidents in the Grand Canyon this week, although several men have met their death in the Fraser between this place and that point. A provincial constible, stationed at the conyon, is refusing to permit men in small boats to run the canyon, making them either portage or line their boats through. Since the beginning of the season over twenty men have been drowned in the Grand Canyon, and at its present stage this number will be increased proportionately if the traffic continues to increase upon the river in scows. An old river man has told The Herald that he has never seen the canyon in such a terrible state of disturbance as at present. The whirlpool in the lower ! canyon is now reaching out clear | across the channel, where, in I average stages of water, this terrible spot is local on the west side. This whirlpool can stand [ a huge tree straight up and draw it down deep into the vortex. A river man who watched the scows running the canyon one day last week stated to The Herald that the sight was awe in- i spiring. The huge lumbering ! ef-aft, many of wliich are hand- ; led by men who know very little I of river lore, come tearing down through the seething bedlam of the condensed channels, missing destruction by a few feet at every turn. That many of the men who are running the canyon do not realize the danger is obvious to river men. Some of the scows are loaded with most valuable cargoes, and in one day last week over a quarter of a million dollars in value was run clown through the Grand Canyon in scows. One scow alone, loaded with tobacco, carried a cargo worth $25,000. SCOW-RUNNING IN THE GRAND CANYON. FLED FROM THE SUBURBS OF HADES Fort George Clergyman Startles Toronto Conference With Account of His Town's Sinfulness—No Worse Than Toronto. Following are copies of press despatches which appeared in coast papers recently regarding the extraordinary statements of Rev. C. M. Wright of FortGeorge. Comment on the matter appears in another column: Rev. C. M. Wright of Fort George, according to a Toronto press dispatch, declared he had walked 350 miles, from the very gates of hell, a weary treck on foot, that had made'a lengthy train trip of 4000 miles^to tell them the amazing story^offthe grip that sin had on his district at Fort George, Rev. C. M. Wright, boyish looking, flushed, but eloquent, sincere and convincing, even to the veterans of the Presbyterian Genera) Assembly, caused a sensation at a meeting which packed Massey Hall last night. An eloquent appeal to the young men of the Presbyterian Church of Canada to take up the burden of carrying the Gospel to the remote districts of the Dominion, was the burden of Mr. Wright's address. "1 am sure if the awful conditions I know of are revealed to young Presbyterians sturdy sons of the church will respond nobly," he said. Though Mr. Wright was the youngest speaker of the day, and almost boyish in appearance, his addresj caused a deep impression. He described his work as the most discouraging anyone could be asked to undertake. In the far northwest foodstuffs were at a premium, lumber and building me- terials were held at an almost prohibitive figure and a condition of atheism practically existed. He encountered people who declared the Bible a farce and the church an unorganized and tottering institution, and many believed them. Men of all nationalities were there with one common idea of gain. In the smaller towns all manner of vice existed. Hotels, with bars where four to six bartenders were working, were the most flourishing places in the community, with the exception of the disorderly houses. In his own town, he .aid, the church was gaining strength and he was encouraged. Aa the flushed speaker took his seat, round after round of applause greeted him from the sterner and older churchmen, who were obviously profoundly affected, .nd it wa. some minute, be fore the demonstration subsided. The following day Mr. Wright amended his statement: "I did not mean to describe Fort George as the very gates of hell. It's no worse than any other place. Toronto for instance," Rev. C. M. Wright, who stirred the Presbyterian CongreBs to enthusiasm Monday night, explained to a representative of The Province. He is a former Toronto student, and is staying with his mother at 604 Manning avenue. "Walked 350 miles from the very gates of hell," was the headline in a morning paper, and this disturbed him. "My object was to show the church's opportunity in the west from the standpoint of the home missionary, and to deal with the actual facts of my three years' experience at Fort George," he said. "Though the work is discouraging, there is a brighter side because we have a faithful little band of workers." "What particular form of vice is rampant in Fort George?" he was asked. "In the first place the liquor traffic is flourishing. There are two saloons with four to six bartenders each. The bankers have told me their deposits have dwindled with the granting of licenses. Then there is the segregated district, four big houses with thirty women, in South Fort George, two blocks from Knox church." "The police," continued Mr. Wright, "formerly had no authority to raid the houses. Now these officials have fined one place." Mr. Wright say-3 that by "trek," he meant by steamer and auto, and laughed at the idea of walking. He also said there was no foreign community, the only people not British being Americans, who lately entered the country. IN CLINTON ASSISES.

Hamilton left this week for Stuart Lake where he has a trading post. He will return in time for the first of July celebration. A number of G. T. P. horses, that have been working in the pack-trains on the surveys, are to be sold today at auction here. The Steamer B. C. Express returned this week from a round trip to the end of steel. She carried large cargoes both ways, and left again on Tuesday morning for Tete Jaune. The British Columbia Express Company are grading their boat landing and warehouse area at the foot of Fourth Street here. Manager West, who' was a visitor this week, states that they intend to improve this property extensively. A telegram received from Mr. Neville Montgomery, who is in Vancouver on the business of the incorporation committee of South Fort George, states that the work is progressing favorably. Mr. Montgomery will return here by the lfith inst. The water in tlie Kraser rivcr is exceptionally high. The lower end of Hamilton Avenue is submerged, and part of the docks of the Fort George Timber & Trading Company are also under water. We believe that the river will yet rise four or five feet further. James Brown, who lately sold out the Cranbrook Hotel, at Cranbrook, B. C., was a visitor here this week. Mr. Brown holds land interests in this section, and intends to locate in South Fort George shortly and engage in a business venture of considerable magnitude. Dr. Simmons, a dentist from Vancouver, who has been announcing in these columns his intended professional visit to this place, arrived here from Quesnel this week, and is at present located in the Quesnel block, over the Nechaco General stores in the Fort George town. J. A. McKcchner, a prominent mill man of Vancouver, was amongst the arrivals here this week. Mr. Mc- Kechner is the owner of a considerable area of land in the Mud River valley, which he is now looking over. He will return to the coast by way of Edmonton. John Eames and Barney Keegan,who have been cruising some of the Sprague Lumber Company's timber limits on the Mud river, encountered on different occasions on their short trip into the timber, no less than three bears. Mr. Keegan shot at one of the animals, but being a sprightly young bruin it apparently dodged the bullet and got clear away. A wrestler, calling himself the Cyclone Kid, claiming to be a member of Dr. Cook's gymnasium at Minneapolis, walked into the office this week and asked The Herald to print n challenge for him. He challenges nny wrestler up to 140 lbs in weight for gate receipts and a side bet. His own weight is only 128Ibs. George Williams, well known on the Fraser river, arrived here early in the week with a number of scows. He is attending to the freighting of the huge Kennedy Blair & Company shipments. William Blair, who recently returned from Edmonton on a buying expedition, states that his first shipment consists of six hundred tons of merchandise. Harry Coutes, who recently returned from Ashcroft with hia bride of a few weeks, is doing a large business with his five-passenger Ford car. The motor car habit has caught on here, and the tw. cars which are for hire at present are seldom seen with dead engines. Fred Peters and his Cadillac touring car and Coutes' Ford lend a more metropolitan air to the town than anything which has gone before. Mr. Pierre Alfred Landry, B.A., C. E., P.L.S., was amongst the arrivals from the south this week. Mr. Landry is a member of the well known surveying firm of Gore & McGregor, of Victoria, and is In charge of the Northern Interior Department of the firm's businesM. Mr. Landry will leave within the next few weeks for thc Peace river, where his firm has considerable surveying to do. The New York Journal of Commerce siys: Bank officials at this centre are more than usually concerned at reports they have been receiving from Canada. Canadian banks have withdrawn their balances at New York down to unusually low point and they also have small supplies of free funds in London. This movement on the part of banks is considered precautionary as an indication that the unbridled boom that Canada has been enjoying during the last few years is coming to its natural close. are now ouuuing spiemmuj. ........ — , the trees were eflected by the intense cold of the past winter although \ they were not vary carefully protect- j ed from the elements.
