McNiven Completes Tour Over Construction Line la. the East—No Cause for Complaint. UL100ET Tift >r»ry ot Legislative peembly Registered at the Northern Hotel, early this week, was Mr. J. D. McNiven Fair Wages Officer, ol the Department of Labour, Ottawa, whose business it is to Investigate the conditions of the labour employed in railroad and other large engineering ventures. Mr. McNiven has just completed a trip over the construction work between here and Tete Jaune Cache. Leaving Vancouver on February thc first be went to Edmonton, and from there to the end of steel. In the construction zone Mr. McNiven visited every camp between here and Tete Jaune Cache. To The Herald, he stated that whilst he would not discuss actual conditions, as. his report had not yet been filed with his department, he would state tbat he had found conditions in the camps on the upper river excellent. The complaints which have been made, he stated, were much exaggerated. Mr. McNiven was the officer of tht Labour Department who was sent into the Bulkley valley last year at the time of the 1. W. W. strikes in that section. The chief complaint, then, was the food in the camps. Mr. McNiven visited these camps and investigated the complaints, b/t could not find them justified. Asked regarding the attitude of the labour employed up the river, Mr. McNiven stated that there should be no cause for apprehension,. Tbe I. W. W. has representatives all along the line, but so far as The Herald can ascertain ,,there, is little, danger ot a strike, although there have been rumors that such was in, prospect. There la no cause for the moat imaginative strike-promoter to advance tor demanding a walk-out, and it conditions continue to prevail as they are at present labour troubles will not further delay the G. T. P. Mr. McNiven called at The Herald office to aee hie old friend, W. J. Mackay, of whose demise he had not heard until notified at this office. As an old newspaperman, Mr. McNiven was exceedingly sorry to hear ot the death ot the late Mr. Mackay. They were room-mates, years ago, when both were employed on the Vancouver World. Mr. McNiven left on Monday's stabe for Vancouver. He will make a trip thla aummer from Hazelton over the line aa far aa this place. THE HERALD GETS ACTION IN ALBERTA CAPITA! Says the Edmonton Journal, editorially: "The Fort Qeorge Herald speaks ot 'the moribund crowd of wholesalers in Edmonton," at the heads of whom the district has been throwing its trade. 'We do. not believe,' it adds, 'that there is a firm doing business here that will not have some commodoties to order ln tbe navigable season, and we know that there ia not one in ten'ol these houses that have any information as to where their order will receive the best attention in Edmonton.' Invitations like this (continued the Journal) to cbme and sell people something, don't come to business men every day, and it looks «s If it would be well worth the while of those engaged in different commercial lines ln this city to bestir themselves." Included in the sixty teams belonging to the Carlton Construction outfit which arrived here this week, are about twenty pair ot mules, the finest specimens ot the hybrid animal ever teen in these parta. Many of the horses, too, are magnificent animals and judging from their appearance have received good care aad atten- «"»• ' ' I, 1 ''.ill ONJIAIEM L'NE Vice-president Tate Announces That Depot Will be Located Conveniently - titizens Greatly Relieved. One of the first places in British Columbia to secure immediate benefit from the construction of the Pacific Great Eastern Railway is Lillooet, it having been decided by the heads of the railway to locate a depot on the west side of the Fraser River, leading up to the centre of the old town. No official announcement of this intention on the part of the company was made until Mr. D'Arcy Tate, vice-preBident of the P. P. G. E. gave the information to the press last weeTt. The proposal and the cordial hearing it received from the railway officials has been responsible ior creating a brighter feeling among the inhabitants. Mr. Tate, admitted frankly that it was the company's Intention to locate a depot at Lillooet. "Yes" he said, "it is our object to give as much assistance and convenience to Lillooet as possible. We regard it as a rather important district and naturally we desire to make the beBt use of it consistent with our extensive plans". In speaking more particulary of the location of the depot, Mr. Tate pointed out that the railway yards are at the present time located on the east side of the river, but that the proposed depot would be placed on the west side, where it will be of the greatest utUity and convenience. As to how much money will be spent upon thiB work, or when it is proposed to start operations, Mr. . Tate could not say, other than to state that It would, of course, be done in conjunction with the rest of the construction work. ■ The idea ot having a new depot at Lillooet, while primarily belonging to the Pacific Great Eastern, found a ready response among the residents of the town. When It began to be spoken of as a possibility the citizens got together and discussed it, and as a result of these conferences a meeting was arranged with the vice-president of the line, Mr. Tate himself. As both sides were anxious to bring the idea to fruitltion as rapidly as possible, and no difficulties in tbe shape ot terms were encountered, Mr. Tate dispatched an engineer to look over the situation and pick out the most suitable Bite. Thla was done last week. Mr. Gallagher, the engineer, and a number ot the prom- the ground, and finally selecting inent men ot the town, going over what is said'to be an ideal site on the west side of the river and only a few minutes distant from the centre ot, the town. Messrs. Patrick Welch and J. W. Stewart, the two other heads ot tbe railway arrived in Victoria last week to confer with Mr. Tate In regard to 'he legislation passed by the pro- Tincial parliament during the paat session. These matters were the Increased »ate of interest on the railway bonds 'rom four to four and one-half per -sent, and the slight diversion of the 'ine from the original plan. Formal approval was given. There was also i general discussion on progress and 'he various elements connected with 't, but Mr. Tate stated that apart 'rom the matters referred to there vas nothing to report. Mr. Welch, without laying himself out to be Interviewed, said that the vork of construction was progressing satisfactorily. Several new camps Have been located between Newport and Lillooet, - and the preliminary hualness of getting the track ready 'or steel is rapidly progressing. .1 BOOTLEGGER GOES TO JAIL Clean-up in Alberta Town Evidently Involves Officials Who' Are Said to be in League With Bootleggers. Over $700 was collected in fines last week in Edmonton trom persons concerned in the recent raid on the boot-leggers in Edson, which wbb carried out by R. S. Stafford, of tbe Alert Detective Agency, and Town Constable Tatham. Inspector Raven, of the mounted police of Edmonton, went west to hear the cases. The principal in the case was Frank Henri, proprietor of Cotton's restaurant who was fined $435 and costs with an alternative of twelve months imprisonment for selling liquor without a licence. The fine and costs were paid. For running a house of ill-fame Henri was sentenced to four months imprisonment without the option of a fine. Mildred Howell for selling liquor without a licence was fined $150 and costs, and for keeping a house of 111 fame she was fined $45 and costs. The fines and costs in both cases were paid. Margaret Clark and Mignon Martin, charged with being inmates, were each fined $25 and costs. A similar charge against Grace Bedford was dismissed, there being Insufficient evidence. Detective Stafford, who Is charged with shooting a bystander when effecting the arrests, did not appear on the day the case came up before Mr. Bradley, justice of the peace, acting on the advice of his solicitor. Application was made by the solicitor" for the prosecution, to have the bail of $1,000 estreated, but thiB was refused and the case adjourned for eight days. A remarkable situation exists at Edson In connection with the affair, etiauord, who was acting aa tempor- are chief of police on the Instructions ot Mayor Lawrence, has been paid off, while town constable Tatham, who was dismissed by the council, has been reinstated by the mayor. There seems to be a continual war between the council and the mayor, each undoing what is done by the other. An effort Is on foot to institute proceedings against the mayor. The town is very much excited over the whole affair and it Is freely alleged that some citizens are In league with the bootleggers. RANCHER TRURAN NOW BREATHES FREELY Friends of Indian Outlaws Paul and Spintlam, Take Revenge on Rancher Who Helped in the Chase. ENGINEERS AT WORK ON P. G. E. SURVEY Contractors Carlton and Hardie returned today from a trip up the Nechaco Valley where they went to locate campB on the work westward. Joe Harper, charged with drunkenness arid abusive language waa sentenced to four months at Kamloops lall before Justices Bourchier and Perkins today. Harper la a recent wrlval trom up-river, and Is a wholly undesirable cltlwa. An^engineering party left the coaBt last week to aurvey the extension of the Pacific Great Eastern to bring it In to touch with the town ol Lillooet. The Fraser River will be crossed by a 1,006-foot bridge over a mile below Lillooet. It will then follow the east bank of the Fraser for about twenty-three mlles before swinging eastwards to the table lands. The river will not be touched again until the vicinity of Quesnel is reached. The line as provisionally determined by preliminary surveys will ascend the upper reaches of the Bonapart river after leaving the Fraser north of Lillooet. It will traverse the LacLaHache Valley and the Williams Lake district before reaching Quesnel. Construction will be lighter than If the Fraser were followed the whole way, and, in addition, a fine agricultural country will be opened up. North of Quesnel the line will in a general way follow the Eraser river. It will make'frequent crossings and thus necessitate the construction ot a number of bridges. The aurvey party now in the field below here will soon be augumented by four or five additional parties, and the location of the line between Lillooet and this place will be rushed over, the entire distance of 290 miles during the coming spring and aummer. In addition to .the work now in progress, west of the Fraaer, construction work will be pushed vigorously northward trom Lillooet thla aummer. on the east bank ot the Fraaer, and on the ascent to the high table lands. There ls one glad man in the province who rejoicos in the capture of the Indian murderers, Paul and Spit- lam, who murdered a Chinaman and a police officer near Clinton. The tragedy of the shooting of Constable Kindness at Clinton last May will be remembered by our readers.. The editor of this paper was standing trial on a libel charge at Clinton on the day the shooting occurred. Constable Kindness was on duty in tho court room at the time he was called out to take the trail of tlie men who were accused of the murder of a man named William White and a Chinaman near Clinton. Word was brought into Clinton by a rancher named Truan that he had rode into the Indians' camp whilst hunting horses. A posse was immediately organized to take up the hunt, and they struck the Indians camp after a few hours travelling. Just why the posse rode right into the camp is not known, but the place bore signs of desertion, and two played-out cayuses were browsing close by with long tether lines on them. Constable Kindness was in the lead, and aa he gained the camp one of the In/tfans rose from behind a log and shot him dead as he sat his horse. Forrest Loring, another ot the posse, rode for shelter, and was shot ln the arm. The outlaws escaped to the bills, and were not captured until they were recently given up to the-authorities by the chief of their tribe, who was influenced in his action by the chiefs of various tribes in the vicinity. In recognition of the action by these tribal authorities the government has ordered medals to be made and distributed amongst them. There is still the disposition of the reward of $3000 to be determined although it is generally understood that the reward money will be employed in hiring the best attorney to be secured for the price, to conduct the defense. Accompanying the posse who went out after the Indian at the time of the murder was John Pollard of the Pollard ranch, near Clinton. He has been summoned as a witness, and with his,brother Thomas, who helped track the Indians after the crime was committed, is now in Vancouver. Another summons is out, but has not yet been served, for Charles Truran, who gave the information which resulted in the forming of the posse, and the killing of Kindness. Mr. Truran stated to the coast presf recently that he would certainly ap pear at the trial and tell what be knew regarding the bandits. Becaus* he "gave them away", he was forced to Bell his ranch near Clinton, am is at the present time loser about, $1200. While the posse was still or tbe track of the murderers they vis ited his home for the purpose o killing him, and not finding hin broke everything breakable in th< house, and stole all his supplies These facts were reported at th time. Truran could not live in safety a his home while the bandits were a' large, and sacrificed bis ranch on ac count of their threats and depreda tlons. WILL DOUBLE-TRACK ALONG MOOSE LAK' The Grand Trunk Pacific Rallwa has entered Into an agreement wit the Canadian Northern to build i double track line on the same gra along the shore ot Moose Laki twenty mlles west of the Yellowhea Pass. One of the tracks will be usei by the C. N. R. This arrangemen' was made when it was discoverer' that engineering difficulties' were In volved In the building of a 0. N.

WAREHOUSES AND DOCKS TO BE ON PRINCE GEORGE TOWNSITE Superintendent of Construction I [Decides on] Location '„ This Zi -\ Week—Later Will be on Fraser River. H. J. Fotter, superintendent of the eastern end of construction for Foley Welch & Stewart, arrived here from Tcto Jaune on Sunday last. Mr. Fetter came down by team in six days. Superintendent Fetter sottled the matter of thc location for the docks and warehouses to be used this sum met- for loading and unloading the steamboats and scowb Irom up-river, by placing tlierr- at the mouth of the slough which runs Into the Indian Reserve above Peden's Island on the Nechaco. The expected location of the buildings on the Hudson's Bay property adjoining South Fort George will not take place at present, but we understand that dockB will be located there for the construction of the Pacilic Great Eastern. When interviewed by The^Herald on the matter last Monday Mr. Fetter said: "The docks and warehouses will be located at the mouth of the slough on the Indian Reserve. Mr. Hardie and myBelf decided on the exact location this morning." Asked for a reason for the decision aB against the decidedly more desirnb'e and practicable site on the Hudson's Bay Company's land, Mr. Fetter said "We prefer the docks to be on the railroad company's land, and; in fact they too desire this as it will facilitate the handling of the material needed in the actual townsite development. It is possible, however, that the Fraser rivcr location will be brought into use in future operations." The location is on that portion of the Prince George townsite to t>* north-east of the tracks, th"t Is given over to tho company's workB. To place the buildings at any accessible spot on th^ Fraser River wo"ld interfere with the actual townsite land. Work on these buildings will commence immediately under Contractor George Hardie, who has full charge of the work. The location of MeBBrs. Foley, Welch & Stewart's executive offices has not yet been made, but will be known in a few days. Mr. Fetter returned to the Cache early in the week. He will return here early in the Bpring, and will be accompanied by Mrs. Fetter. SIR RICHARD M'BRIDE AND THE PRESS n <'. if 1 ' \ '«. ... ii ,'•■',. . *l«. • Sir Richard McBride entertained at luncheon the members of the Press Gallery last week in the parliamentary grill. In his appreciation of the press of the province the prime minister said that the newspapers here were conceded to be of very high order, both as to their news and editorial columns. Sir Richard reviewed briefly the histroy of journalism in the province and circulated among the guests afterwards copies of the first issues of thc first two newspapers published In this province. The dates of both were 1858 and one was printed in French and tbe other English. The members of the gallery drank •Sir Richard's health and ths health of the members of the cabinet with enthusiasm. Afterward the Hon. Dr. Young proposed a toast to the memory of the late W. J. Mackay, a pioneer newspaperman of this province, late of this paper, who lied recently. V A six-mule team hauling a cook's -.aboose passed the Herald office on Thursday. The chef's fire was burn- 'ng merrily and he was dividing his attentions betweon the mules and the lapjacks.

There appears to be no veiled menace to the political well-being of the Liberal party. The same laws of registration are applicable as heretofore. In no manner is the franchise of any eligible vjter endangered unleis through the tardiness of the voter himself. The necessity of cancelling the lists after periods of reasonable time have elapsed will be apparent. The lists, after years of revision and constant alteration, are bound to carry a certain superfluous volume of listed names belonging to deceased constituents and to voters who have left the district. The cancellation of the voters' lists frees them of this excessive material. On the political associations of the province will largely fall the work of reconstructing the lists. This work is being carried forward as speedily as possible in this section. It will be readily- understood, however, that in such districts as this, concerted and vigorous action is necessary in order to complete the lists by the seventh of April, from which date they will be suspended until after the holding of a court of revision on the nineteenth day of May next.

K. BOURCHIER, Justice of the Peace. JOHN ANDERSON FRASER, M.P.P., who has been delving into the ancient history of Old Cariboo, delivered a very interesting oration in the Legislature the other day. Whilst there appears nothing in the speech calculated to influence the policy of the Government in matters of moment, Mr. Fraser's address was undoubtedly listened to with a great deal of interest by the assemblage, and this interest was even reflected in the editorial calumns of the Victoria papers, whilst the eloquence of the deputy speaker, who spoke the same day, was swallowed in oblivion, so far as the newspapers were concerned. Mr. Fraser dwelt upon the early glories of Cariboo, and the present wonderful prospects of the district, old and new. He showed that in the days when this country was first invaded by the officers of the Northwest company, that agriculture was practiced for the first time in British Columbia, then New Caledonia. He dwelt upon the wonders of the gold-strewn creeks, and he declared the district on a par with any earthly paradise in British Columbia. These happenings were long ago. When Cariboo was the only white-populated section of New Caledonia the present generation was still unborn. Yet it is strange that the oldest settled section of such a vast, rich province has remained so long undeveloped by railway enterprise. However, another New Caledonia now on the map is a French penal colony inhabited by criminals and Kanakas, and surrounded by i.ink coral reefs, south of the Tropic of Capricorn in the Pacific Ocean. Things have changed. Over thirty years ago the Canadian Pacific Railway company sent survey parties into this district to discover a route for the line, The surveys were run, but the line was finally located through Rogers Pass, far to the south, ar.d Cariboo again went to sleep, Seven years ago the first Grand Trunk Pacific surveyors entered Cariboo and also sought out a I line. They wandered as far north as the Pine River Pass, and { finally located the greatest transcontinental line on the North American continent through the Yellowhead Pass. Not until tbis week have the patiently-waiting pioneers of this piace witnessed the actual invasion of the construction army. The ends of the steel are crawling closer to Prince George day by day. Swarms of men of every nationality come and go. The giant shovels scattered up and down the river tear their way through! the thin line of land that has been set aside for the route of the Grand Trunk Pacific. The sun rises and sets, the icy grip of'' winter dutches the land and vanishes with the coming of spring,: but the steel giants work on incessantly, tearing their way! to,sards the last cut on the road by the light of day or [the glare of the flaring acetylene torches by night. Cariboo is coming into its own. The sum of $750,000 appears in the Estimates for the survey of] Crown lands. This is a very necessary appropriation, for it is! important that the province should be thoroughly surveyed as' soon as possible. The Lands Department will then be in possession of reliable data to give intending settlers, as surveyors are expecte 1 to give an intelligent and detailed description of the land where they have been at work, P.

Not only was Mr. Eraser's address a comprehensive. and patriotic testimonial to tbe reaourcefulnesa of the district which be efficiently represents. It was at the same time original in conception and treatment, of better literary standard than the vast majority of such deliverances, and of more than passing historical importance, so much as to win ior its author the special commendation oi thc Capital press. After the customary compliments and recognition of the ability shown in administration since Sir Richard McBride assumed charge of British Columbia's destinies now ten years ago, Mr. Fraser dwelt pretatorily upoii the great agricultural possibilities contained in tne vaBt district represented by Dr. Callanan and himself, in addition to which, he said, Cariboo contained every form of natural resource of' which the -Province is the treasure house. With regard to the fur industry' which ftwt attracted white men to British Columbia, and which is still- flourishing, he held that in view of the rising market for the product, the government might well consider means to derive additional revenue from this source. Stock raising was' another industry eapable of immense expansion, and lu this connection it' was .pointed out that the recent excellent reports of the Lands Department Bhows over one hundred million acres of pastoral land in Cariboo alone. Of the timber resources of the district, more than half were still in possession ot the Crown and practically none yet cut. In mining, the district was still pro* during placer gold as lt had' been for the last fifty years, nor were the diggings by any means worked out. In the old days three ounces of gold to the set were expected: nowadays a return of ten cents to tbe pan was profitable. On the Quesnel alone thare were about 3,000,000,000 yards of pavel that would yield ten cents tc tbe yard, or a return in tha total ol 1300,000,000 from the gravel of that stream alone. And that waa a fraction of the total, awaiting transport facilities ln the northern i land. "And now Mr. Spaaker," the member for Cariboo continued, "I should like to touch upon'another part ol the historic old district of .Cariboo. I refer to the grand! country surrounding Fraser lake and Stuart lake. In one sense this is the oldest part of thiB great constituency, in another sense it is the newest. It was the first part of the mainland to be settled and it was the last to be developed. Here in tha earliest years of the nineteenth century, tbe intrepid advance guard of that wonderful organization known in history as the Korthwest Company established the drat rude posts ever built in the Interior to the west of the Rocky mountains. Here the redoubtable Simon Fraser—in the year8 1805 nnd 1807—laid the foundations of Fort McLeod on McLeod lake, Fort 8t- Jamcs on Stuart Lake, Fort Fraaer on Fraser lake, and. Fort Oebrge at the mouth of the Nechaco river. All these places have existed from that day to this, and about them all cluster historic memories. Here in this, as it waa then, isolated district, from time immemorial the home of the Carrier Nation .of the Western Dene stock, the British flag was flung to the breeze for the first time in the vast territory lying, between the Rocky mountains, and the coast or Cascade range. For many years the fur trader held undisputed s*ay in this district. As he plied up and down the Fraser river,* the great fluvial artery of the Northern Interior, he little dreamed as he passed the mouth of the Quesnel river (so named by Simon Fraser more than a century ago) that within seventy miles nature had hidden fabulous treasures which in after years were to be brought.to light by the unexampled heroism, and astounding en- ?rsy of the pioneer miners-of 1869, I860, and 1861. ■ • ■■< "First of all if waa the fur trade that brought men to Cariboq, and for half a century the trader followed his avocation without interference from the outside. Then came the dis- •overy of gold and' a new era dawned 'or this great western country because of that discovery which -lured men from all parti' of tba''' World to "'In farthest verge of tbe Hpaplre and made the establishment otfMe Crown Colony of British CdtttfbU both a Political possibility aad;*a..political necessity. Thie dts<-o*wy* and Its subsequent exploitation • laid' the 'oundatlona of our Body politic and Paved the way for Confederation eind the unification of the British Nortb American possessions in the great lominlon of Canada. "So, Mr Speaker, on historical, grounds aa well as because of its vast natural reaourcea, its magnificent climate and its manifold attractions for the sportsman and the Home-builder, I can say without fear our hands. No one would be so churl ish as to refuse to recognize the fact that the district of New Cariboo was an all important factor in the up-building of our country. I am proud to represent in this Parliament that .magnificient district, the pioneers of which have done so much toward making our.history what it is—a record of great achievement. It is with a deep sense of the responj sibility attaching to my position that I oiler these remarks touching a district for which the future Is so -rich in .promise. As for .that future I venture to say that the development of Cariboo .will astonish the Members of this House and the people of this province; Look where I will over this broad land of ours, I Bee for no other*'part of it greater prosperity or happier conditions in the future for all classes than for this same wi'le-extcnding and prince^* ly endowed district of Cariboo which it is my privilege to sorvo in this Legislature, "That brings me, Mr. Speaker, to another point upon which I would like to offer a few remarks. I have spoken of the matters which have given Cariboo a name and a place in the history of the west. I have referred briefly to the fur trade—which after all these years still is prosperous; of mining—which is on the eve of great development: But I have said nothing of. the assured future for agriculture ln the district. It is commonly supposed, I believe, that is outside of the comparatively few people who have personal knowledge respecting this phase of our development, that the reputation of Old Cariboo rests upon its mines and minerals and its historic past. When we call to mind its history, this perhaps is a not unnatural assumption. But, sir, let me say at once and as forcibly as I can that there are today no more fertile lands, lands better adapted to the growth of all cereals, fruits and vegetables, than ate to be found -throughout the length and breadth of this noble heritage. Then there are, too, our grazing 'ands, which yield an abundance of pasture for cattle, sheep and horses. Why, sir, even as the news of the* discovery of gold in the Quesnel river, on Antler creek, on Keithley creek, on Grouse creek, on Williams creek, hurtled across the continent- even as this startling rumor was wafted over the ocean to all men in ill. lands—sturdy pioneers tilled the wil of Cariboo, and tbe farms then "stablished gave bountiful returns to their fortunate owners, and today •they are still yielding' handsome orofits. All along the Yale-Cariboo road of historic memory, and in many other places which I am sorry to say are not as well known in the cities of the Province as tbey should be, are splendid farms and ranches. I should like to say tn this connection that no other district in the province offers the agriculturist' and the stock-man a better field for their industry than does Old Cariboo. When I call to mind the fertile lands awaiting development and when. I remember what has already been ac-. complished in spite of tbe lack of transportation facilities, and lines of communication, when I recall all that bas been accomplished by our sturdy pioneers in the face of great obstacles, I cannot; but wax enthusiastic concerning the future of agriculture'in that section, of British Columbia. "We hear a great deal these days of the splendid resources ot the Okanagan; of the valley of the lower Fraser; of the benches of the Skeena; W tiat we nave w c nmu FORT FRASER, Central British Columbia, has the ideal townsite location on the entire line of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway in British Columbia. : : . : : It has also many natural resources and advantages not possessed by other townsites. It has a sparkling lake of fifty square miles of fresh water. Tremendous hydro-electric power being developed at its very door. The largest tract of agricultural land to be found in British Columbia.

I have not a word to say against these reports, because I believe them all—every word of them. I could go further and aay that I do not believe that the truth has been told by bait. I am quite prepared, aa a loyal British Columbian to endorse all that haa been written upon tbe subject; but, Mr. Speaker, I yield to no district in tbe province the palm over Cariboo, because that district has been tried and proved. ■ "And that brings me to yet another point. When all the vother districts of the province were in their swaddling clothes—agriculturally I mean of course—one part of Old Cariboo, the area to which I referred a few moments ago—that about Fraser and Stuart lakes, was known among the pioneer fur traders for its excellent gardens and even grain was grown to success in that locality. Little as it is known, Mr. Speaker, Cariboo 4s tbe time honored father of the agricultural district ot British Columbia. Long, long before the crown colony joined hands with the Dominion of Canada—long, long before ever thii land became a crown colony— (Concluded on page 5.) OCCIDENTAL HOTEL] V. QUESNEL, B.C.

Mr. Speaker, our first farmer on tha mainland WM Daniel Williams Harmon, of the Northwest Company. He farmed in Cariboo, on a small scale it is true over a hundred years ago. I trust, Sir, that I shall not weary the Honorable members if I read a few extracts from this most Interesting olc* record of a long forgotten day ant' gmwation. First of all I would .call your attention to the fact that this historical document shows that our agricultural operationa began witb the sowing of seed at Fort St Jameson Wednesday, May 22, 1811 aa lt is proved by the following entry in Harmon'B journal: 'As tha frost is now out of the ground we have planted our potatoes, and sowed barley, turnips, etc., which are th* first we ever sowed on* * this west side of the mountains.' wa have no record of the harvest of this" first Bowing, but a tew yean later it is duly set forth that: 'Wa have takar our vegetables out of the ground. We have forty-one bushels of potatoes. tbe produce of one bushel planter* tbe lut spring. Our turnips, barley etc, hare produced well.' Again it recordtd, under date of .September 2 1118, that; 'A few days since we cut (own and threshed our barley. The tot Quarts which I aowed on the 1st. May, have yielded as many bushels. Om acre of ground, producing in the ume proportion aa this haa done, would yield 84 bushels. This In sufficient proof that the soil ln many places ln this quarter is favorable to agriculture. It will probably be long however, before it will exhibit the fruita of cultivation.' " » "Mr. Speaker, my only object in calling attention to this matter is to show that as Cariboo first opened the eyeB of the world to tbe value of our mineralized area ao thla Bame district first proved that the soil ot British Columbia is fertile and productive beyond belief, and that long before other parts of the province now noted as agricultural centres «ere exploited, Cariboo pointed the way to our modern agricultural de-. velopment. This tact has been too long forgotten. Today, Mr. Speaker, wu great territory-this long forgotten part ot the Cariboo district— ii coming into its.own. The soil «ich old Daniel Williams Harmon Praised a century ago will aoon astonish us Dy ; its,marvellous -ruittuUnesB and tha high excellence 01 its products. The Orand Trunk Pacific Railway and the Pacific Great Eastern will open up for its immediate development an immense and fertile country. It is particulary-grat uying to me as a British Columbian, « a member of this House, espec* J'ly as one ot the members for Car "oo, that the government is alivi o the needB of this district, and »at it has aided rational and legitimate development in making possiblt «» building ot a railway (the Pacific ^«at Eastern) into this section. 1 "W-U,, sir, that this line will open UP a splendid country, which be* oif; languished for lack of adoquate wansportatton facilities. The govern* ?wt deserves tbe thanka ot the Mople for IU bold and masterful railway policy, without which the [wi outlying portions of the prov- »m.CtLJld not b» brought into touch "«n the centres ot'trads ind co% And ,iri i w#uld tdd lt eonemfion, ,.'Ltbe Investigation ot tha process "own as dry farming cannot but ff°v« of the greatest benefit tp the "amense nor-irrlgable areas of Carl irLi ' Ml«l»ter of Lands has des, arliy Won th« gMtitude ot all the ywrs Hying 14 ,the dry belt by °'» commendable .energy and fore- Bnulh in ^hlB eo»n«etion.

The Finance Minister has been ailing for some months and several times during the recent legislative session he was )orcc(i to be absent from the house. Father Glroux with a party of seventy-five is on the way to the Peace ! River country. They travel over the Canadian Northern from Duluth to Athabasca Landing, from whence tbey proceed by steamer, bound for Grouard, Alta., in the Leaser Slave Lake district, about 150 miles north- mt of Edmonton. This is an advance guard of two thousand settlers bound for the Peace river country. The second reading of the woman's suffrage bill was defeated in the British Columbia Legislature by 24 votes to 9. The following voted for the extended franchise; Hon Dr. Young, Messrs. Williams, Place, Miller, Wood Forster, Hunter, W. J. Manson. A daring swindle involving many thousand dollars in which banks in Stettler, Lacombe and other Alberta towns will be the principal losers, is eipected to be revealed in the course of the next few days following an investigation into an alleged forgery i of titles to large tracts of land all over the north country. The title, it Is claimed were forged on regular I paper in the land titles office, and I apparently bore the signature of the \ registrar, and also the government I Ml.

Sam Hughes I >t tbe military conference, "there ', will never be allowed in' the militia i any 'wet messes' or 'mild' or I 'light' heer canteenB. You will kindly not waste any time discussing this Weation further. It is settled." This leaves no doubt in the minds of any of the officers whov have been endea- Ivoring to get the order rescinded 1 ihich did away with the canteen, 1 tot there is no chance that any j«ore beer or liquors be sold in the paining camps.

The soil is just right for potatoes where the pine tree grows tall and fat. We hear the robins Binging in our backyard, or .was it just our imagination grown vivid with the thoughts of spring. There is little sense ln making any more laws relating to the sale of liquor for the laws we know have not been enfbrced, The liquor men in B.

This do be a queer world if you do not know the combination. In talking about the dynamite outrages in the United States the Fra says that Union labor, unchecked would develop into violence and destructive anarchy, and create a tyranny far worse than the condition it now seeks to overthrow. Socialism is not a thing, it is a sentiment, and this sentiment, unrestrained, abetted and evolved, would lead to revolution, with dynamiting and destruction as a prominent, legitimate and recognized part of the propaganda. Safety lies in a balance of power. He who is afflicted with the acute gambling mania will always end in ruin and misery. No chance to get away from it, no matter how rich you are when you begin. The passion 'or gain and easy money has filled a million graves with paupers. "(Make no haste to get rich" is one of the wisest sayings that ever came down the pike of time. He who plays the wheel, the bank, the races, the bucket shop, poker, the stock game, the real estate delusion and hundreds of other forms of the same evil will sometimes have chicken to eat, but most of the time be will only have the feathers, with regret, misery, remorse and despair as side dishes. u'rioay—morning rrayer and Ante- Communion 10.30 a. m.

W. M. Nichols, of the Crown Tailoring Company, Toronto, left Tete Jaune Cache on February 10th, and arrived here this week. He is selling suits. Contractor ftarlton's sixty-two freight teams arriged here this week from thc upper river, many coming through from Mile 53, nearly 300 miles up river. They brought down approximately 2r>0,000tt)s of supplies and camp equipment. Mr. Y. B. Chamberlin, brother tp the president of the Grand Trunk Pacific left We on Tuesday's stage for Vancouver. He will return in the course of a few weeks bringing Mrs. Chamberlin witb bim to reside for the Biimmcr ln this district. Harry Reid, of the Foley, Welch & Stewart staff, returned from a trip up-river this wee*., as , far as the Canyon. He reports busy times in the upper camps and hundreds of men preparing to come here with the breaking up of thc river. The Rev. C. M. Wright, of Knox Presbyterian Church, announces that a series of lantern slide reproductions of Famous Pictures of the World will be shown in the Third Street Hall on Thursday evening, March 20th. The pictures are excellent reproductions from such great masters as Raphael, Remhrant, Qrenze, Rcy- yolds, Titan, Millet, Corrigeo and others. Fifty cents admission will be charged. Snow fell here again throughout the week, assisting greatly in the transportation problem. Plans of the Fort George Theatre showing the seating arrangement for thc Sheridan Sftvoy boxing contest for tho amateur championship of the northern interior, may be seen at The Northern Hotel, the Fort George Drug Company, The Herald, or the Northern Lumber Company's, store. No reservations after noon Monday will be held unless the reserved seats aro paid for. Hotel accommodation has been severely taxed during the past couple of weeks. Hundreds of men have arrived from the camps up-river to make a few days' stay and then on to the new camps being established to thc west. Scores of new arrivals are met every day. While the navvy ls generally credited with being a somewhat lawless individual, the men arriving here can be taken as an entirely different class. Up to the present, although perhaps a thou- 'sand men have made this town their headquarters for various periods, little or no lawlessness has resulted, i All preparations are now complete for the Sheridan-Savoy boxing contest to be staged in the Fort George Theatre Monday evening. Sheridan, who has been training faithfully for the contest and who is In excellent condition, arrived in town yesterday and will remain until after the match. Savoy, too, says bis condition is all that could be desired and is in shape to put up a faBt go. The LeBranch-AUan preliminary is arousing considerable interest and many predict that LcBranch will defeat the active little Mon- trealer. Seats have Bold with a rush this week and a bumper house is assured. An extension has been made to the stage which will' allow of an 18-toot ring. A canvas floor covering has been laid in thc ring and the building will be well lighted. .This week Mrs. J. V. Matheson formally opened what we believe to bo the first millinery store of the Northern Interior on Hamilton Avenue, opposite tho Empress Hotel. Surely this Ib a sign of tho progress and prosperity of the north. South Fort George now has, in the Art Millinery store, an establishment devoted entirely to feminine headwear. We do not know much .about this subject, but we do know that there is a lid ln the window of the Art Millinery which makes ub wish that we were married so that we could buy it and take it home to our wife and live happily ever after.

The first town of importance to be established in Centra) British Columbia on the Main line of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway. By those who are in close touch with the true conditions, Willow River is regarded as being a town of future great importance in the heart of "Canada's Inland Empire." This fact, plus the fact that Willow River will be an important lumbering, mining and agricultural centre, makes property in this new town desirable from either a ^business or investment standpoint. Willow River property has been purchased by merchants and investors throughout Canada and United States. Although the town was only established October 16th, 1913, a number ol lots have been resold at decided profits, while other purchasers refuse to sell at even twice the prices paid. The business portion only of Willow River is now on the market—the survey of the residence portion has recently been completed and this,portion of the town will be placed on the market in the near future. There are a limited number of lots available in the business portion at the original prices. Easy Terms. No Interest. Cleai and perfect title direct from the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway. The Original and Official Townsite of Willow Rivor is located on Lot 785; Station Site approved by the Board of Railway Commissiioners March 26th, 1912, Order No. 16179. REMEMBER THAT.
