I $3 PER ANNUM Rapid Growth of Local System Makes Change Imperative-Service Will be Greatly Improved. An improvement in the important utility of the local telephone service, which will be appreciated by the many business houses and others using the phonos of tho Fort George and Alberta Telephone and Electric Co., Ltd., is announced by Manager Gaskill, who tells The Horald that the whole system will be "metallicked" this fall, and that the company will proceed immediately with the erection of a building on Laselle avenue, on the lot adjoining the Port (leorge Drug Co. 's store. The installation of a complete metallic system, with central energy, will remove the bugbear of the telephone 8)stem that exists at present, the induction inevitable to the "ground" system where tbe wires, as at present, work in connection with a circuit wire which is grounded at different points, completing the circuit through one wire and the earth instead of through two wires, which will be installed in the new system. Manager Gaskill and the officers of the Fort George and Alberta Telephone and Electric t'o., Ltd., are displaying much faith in the town of South Fort George by the construction of their now building. Speaking of the matter Manager Gaskill said : "We believe that this town will always form a most important part of the business section of the future city. You have such a live crowd of business men here that we must do our best towards improving your telephone service and bringing it entirely up to date, as circumstances justify the expenditure now." The telephone company have eighty telephones in this city now, and fifty in Fort George, where their head office was established some years ago. MODERN GARAGE JEJNG BUILT The first garage, for the storage and repair of the many motor cars here, is now under construction on Laselle avenue near the Fort George Drug Company's fine store. Mr. Harry Coutef, who has driven his car here since the automobiles first appeared in the virgin territory hereabouts, is the man behind the progressive venture. The garage will have a capacity for about twenty cars, and it will be equipped with compressed air tanks and car-waihing apparatus. A repair shop will form part of this up- to-date automobile stable. There are now about eighteen cars here. Most of them are at present lying idle owing to the deploi able Btate of the roads. The drivers now running are doing so at great risk to their machines, as the sight of one of these high-powered autos wallowing through the morasses of our suburban* streets would convince the most sceptical. As The Herald has already stated in its columns the cars here approximate a valuation of about $75,000, and their running routes in the townsite areas here comprise only a few miles of road. These few miles of road, however, are in a disgraceful condition, and they have been in this condition all the year. It is sincerely to be hoped that the Department of Works, under "Good Roads Taylor," will see to it that these important highways shall be placed in decent condition early next season, as it is now too late in the fall season to accomplish any advantageous work be- foie snow flies. INDIAN AFFAIRS OFFICIAL RESIGNS As a result of the inquiry of Mr. T. R. Ferguson, K. C, into the alienation ot the public domain under the Laurier regime, Mr. Frank Pedley, who has been superintendent ol Indian aflairs since 1902, lias handed in hiB resignation. His resignation was at once accepted, and Mr. Duncan Campbell Scott, the well known Canadian poet, who has been connected with the department lor years and has a splendid record both lor integrity and ability, has been appointed in his place. As a result of the revelations of Mr. Ferguson, it is expected that other resignations will follow and Possibly some prosecutions. The tvl- dence in the Pedley case has been placed in the hands of the Justice Department, and whether there) are Biidlclent grounds for prosecution ls ""t yet known. Mr. I'odley was appointed by the Ubera* Government in 1897 as Su- l>erintcndent ol immigration, and was transferred to the Indian Depart*- menl in 1902, ine evidence taken before Mr. Ferguson alleged that Mr. Pedlep, while 111 l*ie immigration Department, and IUor. as hend ol the Indian branch, tramcked |n Indian lands, and, in one transaction alone, with two '"•'"'i' associates, made not less than 580,000.

OIL ABOUNDS IN PEACE RIVER COUNTRY Possibilities of the Peace River district and the far northern territory through which winds the Mackenzie river were interestingly depicted to the Vancouver Progress Club recently by Mr. Charles Camsell, of the Dominion geological survey, under auspices of the Vancouver Chamber of Mines. Mr. Camsell's address was the lirst of a series arranged by the chamber of mines, and a series of steroptican slides were shown to emphasize his address. Mr. Camsell characterized that district known as the Mj'Venzie River district which stretcnes nortward from Athabasca to the Arctic, as unparalleled in the fur trade at present, and a future country where minerals will be largely produced, from all present indications. The mineral indications found there by Mr. Campbell gave indications of probably* large deposits of copper, zink, silver and lead, as well as gold. In addition to its other vast resources there would be oil. Oil and tar exudes from the earth in areas which were spread over from 150,000 to 300,000 acres. These, he said, were the best possibilities in the world. Oil, and where to find it, and find it and tind it iti big quantities, he said, is Britain'B most intensely interesting problem just now, owing to the fact that the use of fuel oil is growing to such a degree that It is but a question of time when all the big ships will of necessity have to use it as the cheapest and best known fuel for economical operation. A project is under way for the construction of a large skating rink on tho Hudson's Bay 'Company's slough. Amongst the arrivals from the south this week was- Manager Ren- south this week was Manager Reynolds, late of the North Vancouver branch of the Bank of British North America, who will relieve Manager J. Munro whilst he travels over Scotland enjoying a well-earned holiday. The stall of the local branch of the Bank of B.tN.A. has also been increased thia week, the office force now numbering seven. CITY STREETS WILL NOW BE LIGHTED Mr, M. G. Brown, manager of the Northern Telephone & Power Company, informed The Herald today that it is the intention of his company to install street lights at several important points in the city. These will be put in at the electric company's own expense and will be operated for the benefit of the citizens without charge, The public spiritedness of Mr. Brown's company is extremely commendable, and coming at this season of the year will be warmly welcomed by all the citizens of this rising metropolis. Since the company first turned on their current, some few weeks ago, South Fort George has assumed all the airs and graces of a metropolitan city. The business section is now a bloze of bright lights, and nearly every residence of any pretension is connected up with the electric current. ENJOYABLE TIME AT ODDFELLOWS' BALL The second annual masquerade hall of the Indeoendent Order of Oddfellows, which was held last night in the Oddfellows' Hall on Hamilton Avenue*, more than fulfilled the most optimistic expectations of the committee of management. The Ball may be cited without fear of contradiction aa the most successful and the most largely attended dance ever held in the Fort George District. The hall was hopelessly over*. crowded, which proved the only regrettable feature of the event, the attendance aggregating about three hundred persons. So great was the crowd in the hall that the dance was held up for a few moments by the authorities whilst the floors were additionally braced from below. The costumes worn by the many characters represented were generally original and in instances quite elaborate. Prizes were awarded to five ladies and gentlemen, some of whom undoubtedly deserved the awards of the judges as clearly as others of the chosen ones did not. The floor of the hall was in excellent condition and the music rendered by John Senior's orchestra was a feature of the occasion. The committees of management are to be congratulated upon the success which crowned their efforts. Before Justice Murphy at Clinton on October the 14th. Ole Jorgenson was found guilty of the murder last February of the boy Inkster, on thc Lewis ranch, a few miles from Ashcroft. He will be hanged on December 29. The jury was only thirty minutes in coming to a verdict. The ladies of the Presbyterian congcegation of Fort George are holding a Bazaar next Wednesday afternoon and evening in the Masonic Hall on Central Avenue. Fancy goods of all descriptions and samples of home-made cooking will be offered for safe. In the evening the proceedings will he enlivened by orchestral music. The proceeds arc in aid of the1 church. The home of Mr. and Mrs. George Wase, engineer in charge of the residency a few miles above this point on the G.T.P., was the scene of a bachelor's dinner party last Saturday evening which is described by the invited guests as one of the happiest social events they ever attended. Mr. and Mrs. Wase, who live in a pretty location on the bank of the Fraser river, entertained, besides many engineers and contractors from the construction line, a large party of unmarried gentlemen from this town, BIG DEAL IN CLOSE-IN ACREAGE One of the largest realty deals carried through in the Fort George district this summer was closed this week in the sale of the well-known Hamilton Ranch, across the Nechaco river from the G.T.P. townsite of Prince George. Tha deal, which was consummated by Messrs. Wesley & Wiggins, an old- time real estate firm of this city, approximated an investment of about $70,000. I. E. Haight, cf South Fort George, and A. M. Hunter, of the Union Realty Company, of this city, a newly established and strong real estate company, of which Mr. A. Hunter, of Pittsburg, is the president, are the buyers of this property. Mr. Hunter is heavily interested in Prince George property, and is investing large sums of money in property here on finding from personal investigation that Prince George property and the surrounding territory is entirely up to the expectations he had formed from a distance. Mr. Hunter believes that the Hamilton Ranch, situated as it i9 within half a mile of the business centre of the Prince George townsite, where lots recently sold at auction for as high as fourteen thousand dollars, will develop into an important industrial site. The property is level and beautifully situated to fulfil Mr. Hunter's optimistic belief. Lying to the east of the high cut banks known as Dean's Heights, the Hamilton Ranch stretches evenly back from the Nechaco river at a height of only ten to thirty feet above high water mark. The property has a history worth relating in so far that through an error of a provincial land surveyor, made when the property was surveyed many years ago, the acreage included in the survey, which was not allowed to exceed 640 acres, was found later to include a much larger area, and the government altered their maps and a contest resulted for possession of the excessive acreage. The Lands Department eventually rendered a commendable decision in permitting the land to go to Mr. Hamilton, whose original application was supposed to cover the whole area. The property will be offered for sale by the Union Realty Company and other real estate firms at an early date, and it will undoubtedly sell for high values, and owing to its strategic position should find a ready market. No Truth in Statement That Express Company Will Remove Boats to Peace River Next Year. PROPOSED RAILWAY FOR TBE INTERIOR Scheme to Construct New Line From Kamloops to Barkerville via Quesnel. There is a possibility that in the near future New British Columbia will have another railway started. Mr. A. Reed, of Winnipeg, a well-known man in the prairie capital, has been in Victoria for several days, and it is believed that his object is to secure a charter from the provincial government for a line to connect Kamloops with Quesnel and Barkerville, and incidentally open up a splendid stretch of rich mining country. No definite information can yet be obtained in regard to the project, but it is believed that full details of the scheme will be issued shortly. |The rough outline of the route as described indicates that the proposed road wil) have its terminals at Kamloops and Barkerville. After leaving Kamloops the line stretches up the Thompson River to Clearwater Lake and thenca to Horsefly Lake across the "height of land," down the Horsefly River to Qucsii'l and thenco on to Barkerville. Jus who are the peopla behind the proposition it is impossible to say at this time, but it is rumored that in time it will be connected with one or other of the great railway corporations already operating in the province. The winter outfit of the British Columbia Express Company came up on tha last run of the B. C. Express last week to Quesnel, in charge of Sam Boyd, and it is now strung along the road between this point and Quesnel. This equipment includes the horses, Thorough brace Concord coaches, the special winter sleighs which have been built in the B.X. shops this summer for the run between here and Quesnel, and the drivers and stablemen to drive and look after the stock. Driver Jimmy Gannon, well known on the Cariboo road, will drive out of South Fort George this winter as heretofore, and Joe Greniur, another well- known whip, will drive stage between Blackwater and Quesnel. Three new, specially designed Bleighs of great capacity hav* been constructed for service on the Queinel-South Fort George run. Mr. Stewart Adamson, purser on tha steamer B. C. Express, and for many years past an employee of the company in different capacities, called on The Herald this week on behalf of the transportation company, to request us to correct, through these columns, a rumor given birth to by an irresponsible journal published in these parts to the effect that the British Columbia Express Company would move their fleet of steamers into the Peace river watershed as a result of the company having lost the Cariboo mail contract. Nothing, Mr. Adamson assures us, is further from the intention of the British Columbia Express Company than to remove any portion of their transportation plant from the route of travel between Ashcroft, Fort George and the Upper Fraser river. Their company and its predecessors have been common carriers on the Cariboo road and into Fort George since the beginning of things, and the I03S of the mail contract, considering the uncertainty of its future volume and the growth of the more profitable express business, we judge from the expressions of different officers of the B. C. Express Company to be more of a blessing in disguise than a loss of a serious naiu.a to their business. To demonstrate the absurdity of the report circulated, Mr. Adamson stated that til arrangements had been completed to lengthen the steamer B. C. Express ten feet during the coming winter in older that her freighting capacity might be increased. Tnis work would not be undertaken if ihe company were about to dismantle then- boats. That the B. C- Express Company will eventually extend their transportation system into the Peace river country via the Giscombe Portage route or the route advocated by The Herald by way of tha Salmon river, connecting with a proposed wagon road following the direction of the Bad river to the height of land where the headwaters of the Parsnip river can be reached by steamboat from the Peace river, is as likely as was the extension of their system from Quesnel into Fort George when development first started. The Herald has tried on different occasions to bring the possibilities of the Peace river route to the attention of the B.X. officials, and we have their assurances that the company are very much interested in these same possibilities, and this means much with progressive concerns like the B.X. The construction of offices! and other buildings now under way on Hamilton Avenue, has built that thoroughfare up solidly from Second Street to Third. Every available foot of building space has been utilized on the street between those points. George Bowes, a well-known surveyor, and an old-timer in these parts, lies seriously ill in tho Fort George hospital as a result of blood poisoning having set in from the thorn of a devil-club, the horrible prickly weed that all woodsmen hate. FORT GEORGE HERALU Published by the Northern Interior Printing Company, Limited J. B. Daniell, President. Devoted to the Interests of the Fort Georgo District and the Northern Interior of British Columbia. Subscription $3.00 i Veir iu Manet Aivtrtuiif Rates •>» Aiplicitn* THE Imperial Express Company, successful tenderers for the Cariboo mail contract, do not appear to be perfecting the promised organization for the delivery of the people's mail on schedule, or any sort of decent substitute for a schedule, which might be tolerated T>y the impatient public until the new organization has had sufficient time to properly equip its line with the numberless trappings demanded by the magnitude of the service they have undertaken. It is one month ago that the new carrying company commenced to fulfil their contract to the postal department for the delivery of mail matter throughout the Cariboo. Speaking for the Fort George end of the route we can say with uncompromising candor that so far the service performed has been absolutely rotten. It suggests bad management, poor judgment, and a contract undertaken without a proper realization of its magnitude. We hope that the Imperial Express Company will arrange the delivery of mail as it should be delivered without any further demonstration of how it should not. There must surely be some forfeiture clause for delayed delivery, and in the event of the service struggling along days behind schedule these penalties should be exacted, and we commend this to the attention of PostofFice Inspector Greenfield, a public servant who seldom falls short of his duty. The reason for the foregoing is out of what we consider our duty to the public. Great activity in real estate, the planning of large development for the spring, railroad construction and countless large interests depend entirely for the results of their communication with the supply centres in the railway world outside upon the mail delivered over the long Cariboo road from Ashcroft. If this service fails through a dilatory execution by the mail contractors, the people of this country as a whole must suffer the consequences. ^hE Victoria Colonist, one of the most influential dailies in the province, and a paper which is in the confidence of the provincial government to a large extent, came out editorially the other day in favor of some legislation or government supervision that will prevent real estate frauds. That the subdivision game has become a scandal in Western Canada has been pointed out frequently in Saturday Night which has not been slow to name instances. The Colonist is more reticent about the cause of its indignation. It says: "We have been informed that on a certain inlet of the sea, and in a place where the rocks come down almost perpendicularly, a townsite has been 'located' and the lots are being offered for sale. Our informant says that some of the so-called waterfront lots, if they are 120 feet deep, will be 120 feet above sea level at the rear, and the second street from the water will be along the face of a nearly perpendicular cliff. It is a rascally thing to offer such property for sale. This is, perhaps, the most glaring case of dishonest townsite promotion of which we have heard. The lots will not be offered for sale in this part of the country; but they find purchasers elsewhere among people who cannot for a moment believe that any one would be so dishonest as to sell something that is absolutely worthless." It then proceeds to advocate legislation to deal with such cases of real estate dishonesty—and it may be pointed out here that the case mentioned is not an isolated one by any means-"that will make the perpetration of such frauds, if not impossible, at least attended by such risks that few persons will care to face it. What we wish to see stopped is the obtaining of money under false pretences through the medium of townsite advertisements." The Colonist suggests that an amendment to the Criminal Code may be necessary to meet the case. More conscience and less greed in the advertising departments of newspapers themselves would go far to meet the case. To place in the hands of government inspectors the decision as to what subdivisions should be advertised and what suppressed offers unlimited vistas of subterfuge and perhaps graft, as well as undue discrimination and mistakes in judgment.-Toronto Saturday Night.

The apple exhibit was a carload containing over thirty varieties. The display of natural resources was perhaps the most complete ever shown in this country. It included fruits, (trasses, grains, vegetables, fodder plants and various other field products. There was a splendid display of tobacco from Kelowna and minerals were shown from every paying mine in the province. There were forty-three specimens of food fish of British Columbia and forest products were shown from each variety of native tree.

WATER NOTICE. THE SIBOLA CHEEK STRIKE Two outfits on Sibola Creek, the scene of the recent gold strike southwest of Smithers, are digging to bed rock, and two other crews are on their way in to work this winter. All will watch with interest the outcome of sinking operations, for once bedrock is reached the richness of the diggings can be estimated. Leo McLaughlin and partner are down thirteen feet on their bench I claim, which adjoins No. 3 below Dis-' covery. They are timbering the shaft and have installed a windlass. They have supplies for two months. George Barrett and Joseph Bussinger have a good outfit on the ground, including a rocker and provisions for four months. They expect to get down to bedrock before they quit for the winter. The big bench flat north of Sibola Creek has all been staked, but no work has been done with the exception of an eight-foot hole on the claim. Colors were found but no coarse gUJ. The wash here is deep and as the gravel is a loose formation pay dirt could not be expected until a denser stratum is reached. On the bench west of camp there is promising ground, sedimentary in character and marked with dry water courses. Pay has not yet been found here, although colors were fairly plentiful. Work on the creek itself ceased when the owners of No. 9 below Discovery failed to reach bedrock after going down twelve feet. They were driven out by water. "Kid" Price, the discoverer, claims to have found gold en another creek 12 miles to the east but did not ttake anything, preferring to wait until the ground could be prospected further. APPLICATION for a Licence to take and use water will be made under the "Water Act" of British Columbia, as follows:—The name of the applicant is The Door River Development Co., agent James R.

Knott, an employee of the Hudson's Bay Trading Company, who has been stationed in the north country, on the fringe of the Arctic circle, the last twenty-eight years, has gone to Edmonton to visit friends of his boyhood days and get into touch, as he puts it, with modern commercial and industrial methods, Edmonton, now a city of 70,000 population, had less than 50 when Knott passed through from the east in 1878. Where large herds of buffalo broke the trails in those days he found paved streets and boulevards, lined with substantial business houses and pretty homes, The Red river ox cart and dog teams have given way to high power touring cars, spanking teams and electrically propelled street cars of the latest models, and the Saskatchewan river, formerly forded or crossed by rope ferry, is now spanned by structures of steel, concrete and stone. The pioneer from the silent north reports that the fur catch this year will reach the $2,000,- 000 mark.

Charles Stewart, minister of municipal affairs, announces that official notification has been given to all organized cities in the province of Alberta that the government purposes to amend all charters, to prevent cities from granting bonuses or other aid to corporations, industries or manufacturers. The proposed amendment provides that no city may exempt such corporations from taxation, nor subscribe stock or guarantee the interest on bonds or debentures. This will place towns and villages and rural municipalities on an equality with cities, and the effect will be to terminate a practice that has resulted in much contention and strife and costly litigation, The action is in accord with the expression of the Union of Alberta municipalities, which, at a recent convention, passed resolutions condemning bonusing of all kinds. The legislature will enact the law at the present ses- Nine new clubs will establish quarters in Edmonton if the committee on private bills of the provincial legislature, now in session there, reports favorably, as anticipated, upon the applications for incorporation, filed during the last few days. Among the applicants are the Dominion, Jasper, Venice, University. United Service and Commercial clubs. There are already five organized clubs, the pioneer being the Edmonton, which has pretentious quarters overlooking the Saskatchewan river and valley in the heart of the business district. The Northern Club has plans to erect a club house costing $250,000, upon which construction work will begin early next spring. The Country Club, whose home was destroyed by fire some time ago, has awarded a contract for new quarters, which will be ready for occupancy in thirty days. Definite announcement has been made by Sir Donald Mann, vicr-pr:sident of the Canadian Northern railway, that through passenger trains will be running from Montreal to Pacific coast points not later than August 1, 1914, when the company will have completed 10,500 miles of line in Canada. He also said that through trains will be in operation between Toronto and Edmonton early next June.

Operation of moving picture theatres on Sundays by placing collection plates at the doors in lieu nf selling regular admission [tickets is not in violation, directly or indirectly, of the Lord's I Day Act in Alberta, according to i majority judgment just handed down by the supreme court of the province, sitting en banc in Edmonton. The ruling followed certiorari proceedings in the case of Grant Churchill, an American, who with three other theatre owners in Edmonton was fined $40 and costs by Inspector Raven in the municipal court on thc charge of opening their houses 1 on Sundays. The ruling touched numerous points, one being that tlie fiat was not issued by thc attorney-general of the province, though he was in Alberta at the lime. L.

WILLOW RIVER British Columbia The Grand Trunk Pacific Railway Company are now disposing of the remaining portion of their lots in the new town of Willow River at the confluence of the Fraser, Salmon and Willow rivers.

Surveys for this project are now being made. The surveying of the grade from the lower flat to the Miller holdings on the Prince George townsite, round the eastern extremity of Connaught Park, commenced this week, 'lhe grade will run west of the road now being used, and it will cut into the foot of the hill which forms Connaught Park. The steamer B.X., which left here last Wednesday morning for Soda Creek on what was reported as the last journey of the season, will return here immediately, according to reports just received, with Charles Miller on board, Mr. Miller, as we have already announced, will sell his lar ,e holdings in Prince George by private sale here. Halloween, a fixture on the calendar intended as a safety-valve for fools and mischievous kids, pasaed by last night with the usual inane stunts of the prowling joker. If it wasn't for Halloween a lot of people would have very little to look forward to during the year—it is "their" day. The mail service, since the Imperial Express Company have taken the contract over, has been excruciatingly rotten. We are now receiving exchanges for October Ilth, and this appears to I e the latest second-class mail matter received. We recently received from a Quesnel lawyer a legal advertisement mailed in Quesnel on October 7, calling for insertion in this paper in our issues of the Ilth and 18th. This letter was not delivered here until October 20. Great improvements have been mad. to the Hotel Northern recently by Al. Johnson, the progressive proprietor of the big hotel. The office, dining room and sitting room have been covered with pressed metal of pleasing design, and painted. This improves the appearance of the rooms and at the same time protects them against fire to a large degree. The Montgomery Shield, coveted trophy of the football players, was won last Sunday by the Fort George team by a score of 1-0. Throughout the game the local boys put up a splendid battle for the trophy, but the heavier players from the Nechaco townsite proved too strong for them, [and in spite of the excellent play of the local team they were unable to score. Murray, for the Fort George team, played a splendid game, scoring the only goal. Both teams played for all that was in them, and without a doubt the game was the fastest event on the football card for the year. This is tho first sporting trophy that has ever been won by the Nechaco town in competition against South Fort George. Amateur Night at the Fort George Theitre last Thursday proved an amusing event at the big playhouse. The several performers pulled off their various stunts to a delighted though critical audience, all the performers escaping unhurt in body, although the feelings of some might have been somewhat ruffled by their reception. A black-faced comedian mad. his debut in a careful make-up, but waited too long in cutting loose his line of comedy, causing some impatient spectators in the gallery to offer him kind adviee such as "Naw, you-all beat it, Sambo," "Dey's gettin' de hook fo' you," A spasmodic comedian off the grade, with an impediment in his speech, took the lirst prize, the second going to J. McDonald for recitations, and the third to Mr. Myson for a recitation. In spite of the lateness of the season the line weather still continues warm here.
