REAL ESTATE HAN FROM SASKATOON DESCRIBES "HIKE" FROM END OF STEEL ^ MINERAL YIELD IS ENCOURAGING Provincial Mineralogist Estimates Output Will Be Equal . or Greater Than Last Year. ARRIVALS IN CANADA Increase of Nine Per Cent, in Seven Months. Sydney R. Fay, a real estate man from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, reached South Fort George last week after an exciting trip from the end of steel on foot, and will go into the realty business here. Describing his journey, to the Herald, Mr. Fay said: "Leaving Edmonton at 9:30 o'clock in the evening, after but one hour's stop in that city, wc retired early and when we awoke on Sunday morning our train was rapidly approaching the heart of the Rocky mountains. The route of the Grand Trunk lies along the valley of the Fraser river, which it follows for over 350 miles; all railways through the Rockies must follow a river valley. On either side from the car an excellent view was obtainable. Mountains whose snowclad peaks seemed to pierce the very clouds themselves towered majestically above us, and Mount Robson, rising upward to a height of nearly 15,000 feet, m'ade a picturesque sight indeed. "All day we sped through the mountains and at 6:40 p. m. arrived at Mile 145, the second crossing of the Fraser river. Here we spent the night, and in the morning. I boarded a construction train bound for the end of steel. From Mile 145 west the railway is still in the hands of the contractors, but operations are being rushed to completion, and it is expected that by March the contractors will have turned over the operation of the road as far west as Fort George to the G. T. P. The splendid character Within Two Weeks Sidewalks Will Be Completed Along George St. and Patricia. V.' " - *-r~- — - of the roadbed formed the sub ject for much favorable comment among the passengers and undoubtedly the Grand Trunk will be a fomidable competitor for western traffic. "Our ride on the construction trains was necessarily slow as we were compelled to make many stops along the line, leaving supplies at the various camps. It was growing dusk when we reached Mile 183, the end of steel, and began our 54-mile hike. No less than 20 people left the train at this terminus bound for Fort George. I joined a party of four other bickers and that afternoon we reached camp at Mile 186 where we spent the night. Rising early next day we again shouldered our baggage, and we reached Mile 195 for dinner. We rested there the remainder of that day and on Wednesday morning walked as far as Mile 202 where we had dinner and a short rest. That night we arrived at Mile 214, where we spent the night. We reached South Fort George on Friday about noon, tired, but nevertheless anxius to catch the first glimpse of the coming city of Prince George. "Prince George now represents much the same appearance that Saskatoon did about seven years ago, excepting that at this early stage the future of Prince George is already guaranteed and unquestioned," The work of grading and lay ing sidewalks on George street.

C, Being Rapidly Pushed Forward— Men Now Available. Victoria, Nov. 12.—The output of tlie metalliferous mines of British Columbia for 1913 will at least equal, if it does not surpass, that of any year in the history oi the province, according to W. Fleet Robertson, provincial mineralogist, who returned to Victoria yesterday after an absence of four weeks. "The output of last year was the highest attained in mining annals of the province," said Mr. Robertson yesterday, "and I believe that the production will be not less this year, if, indeed, it is not materially larger than that of any former year." The total value of the yield of placer gold last year was $555,- 500, as compared with $426,000 in 1911, and surpassed the output of any year since 1908. While the exact value of the yield in the past year will not be available for several weeks, it is estimated at something over $500,000. "The placer gold production is only an item in the mineral output of the province," said Mr. Robertson, "and it has been steadily diminishing, with but few fluctuations, fo neraly forty years. It reached its high mark in 1868, when the output was valued at $3,491,205, and has not passed the millon mark since 1904. "The production of lode mines, on the other hand, has been steadily rising, and last year the output was greater than has ever before been recorded, as far as quantity goes, while the value was also in excess of all previous years, with the exception of thc banner year of 1906, when it was about $100,000 in excess of last ve„/s yield value. Ottawa, Nov. 20.—There was an increase of nine per cent, in the number of new arrivals in Canada during the first seven months of the fiscal year, April to October. The total immigration for that period was 327,913. Of the arrivals 128,868 came from the British Isles, 80,330 from the United States, and 118, JUST 80 MILES MORE Canadian Northern Line Between Quebec and Coast is Now Almost Linked Up. F.

For the month of October alone there has been a notable decrease in the number of arrivals, the total being 27,192 as compared with 30,646 for the same period last year. The decrease is no doubt partly due to the fact that owing to present conditions, the immigration department is not encouraging artizans to come to Canada.

Edmonton, Nov. 21. steelhead of the Edmonton, Dunvegan & British Columbia railway will reach the Athabasca river by December 1 of this year," said a well-known engineer last night. "I met three contractors at Mirror Landing who had just made a trip over the line from Mile 93, the present head of the steel to Mirror and they told me that the company which has been compelled to stop the laying of steel owing to the fact that they were unable to get men to work on the steel gang at $2.50 per day are now in a position to go ahead, having made satisfactory arrangements with the men, and that there was a large gang then at steelhead and that the operations would be continued immediately. The grade, I was told, was completed to within two miles of the point where the railway company will cross the Athabasca, and it is the opinion of these contractors that steel will reach the river not later than December 1, and trains should be running by the first of the year."

Mr. Borden may see the United States president while in Washington, but there is no intention of entering into these questions. They will be left to thc ministers immediately concerned. Mr. Borden is reported to have regained his normal health. Ottawa, Nov. 20.—The red man of Canada shows no signs of following his American brother to the "happy hunting grounds" of their forefathers.

WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 3, 1913 GROWING PAINS Soutii Foit Georee has never as yet experienced what is known as a boon. A boom i„ something that is not quite healthy—a growth that is bound sooner or later to be followed by reaction. Just the same this town has in' the past year seen exceedingly rapid development, and today like all healthy and hardy ytiong stcrs, South Fort George is af* flieted, more or less, and fronj time to time, with growing pains. This week one of the enterprising citizens of tbe town sat hinj down to figure out just how much the town had grown since January i, 1913, without going into the question of bank clearings, customs returns, postoffice reports, and that sort of thing. He confined himself entirely to the ground of new businesses that liav*^ sprung up since the date mentioned. He was inter- nmted before he had complet'-fl his list, tut The Herald got h. Id ot the result anyhow, and it re:\d£ something like this:: Real Estate-MurdofT & Gething, J. Berntz, Gordon Bain, Ruggies _ Winters, J. B. Harlc- en, Hunter & Haight, Great West Real Estate Co. Rooming Houses—The Palace Rooms, Fraser Rooming Housje, Yale Rooming House, West Rooming House, Robart Rooming House, Royal Rooming House. Confectionery Stores — Frank C. Smith, Mrs. Sturdy, Mrs. Hulse. Hardware—Marshall Wells & Co., M. E. Jeglum & Co. jewelry Stores — Williams' Jewelry Store, Ritchie & Clark, D. Pennes. Efowling Alley—Bon Ton Bowding Alley. Miscellaneous—Mrs. Walters' Ladies and Children's St<>re, Coutts' Auto Garage, the Blair block for offices, The Salmon River Lumber Co., Northern Telephone & Power Co., P. Burns wholesale and retail meats. Cafes—Club Caie, Smith & Ramsay Cafe, American Cafe, Empire Cafe, Owl Cafe, Mecca Cafe, Bobs Bunch Counter, John Nilson's Restaurant. Gent's Furnishings—G. A.

Pool Halls—Roberts Pool Infi. York & Marrion. Theatres — Edson Theatre, Dreamland Theatre, Fort Oeorge Theatre. This may not look so very impressive to thc sophisticated city dweller, but these new businesses "added to what we got" have made more than a "little bit more." They have transformed a town into a small-size i city. The railway is slill some distance away, forty-five iniles by actual measurement, hut some months from the point of view of rail transportation, and yet South Fort George has heen able to grow rapidly. When thc rails are in—well, just wait and see what happens. day Night to ma mm au Revoir Almost forty people. assembled at the home of C. Brown ou Tuesday evening of last week to give J.

Whist, bridge and dancing form ed thc programme. At midnight a supper was served and dancing continued until 2:30. Kerr's orchestra was in attendance. HOCKEY AT SMITHERS New Town Will Make an Effort for the Duncan Ross Cup Smithers, Nov. 22,—Although only three months old, this town is going to make a strong effort to capture thc hockey championship of northern Britis hColum- bia and the prospects are excellent.

An athletic association, which will give all its attention to hockey during the winter, has just been formed here with the following officers: R. E. Willimas, president; W. S. Henry, vice- president; A. O. Soring, secretary-treasurer. The Duncan Ross cup, which carries with it the amateur championship of the northern part of the province, on the west end, is now held by Hazelton, but the new team hopes to lift it before the season is over, and some fast games are in prospect this winter.

NEW HOTEL WILL BE BUILT IN SPRING Anthony Wedgis Lets Contract For Building on Hamilton Avenue. Ottawa, Nov. 18.—Fenian raid veterans seem to be multiplying, as the years roll on. Forty-five years have passed since the invaders were repelled, and it has been estimated lhat no more than ten thousand men took up arms in defence of Canada. Now over four thousand veterans have been paid the sum of $100 by the government under the Bounty act of a couple of sessions ago. There are 10,000 applications for the bounty still to be passed upon. The bulk of these will likely be rejected. ■ The greatest number of applications in proportion to population comes from Nova Scotia, where special commissioners have been appointed to look into the numerous claims.

The samples in almost every case were of exceptionally tin quality and had they been properly cleaned would rank amongsj the first on the market. The suitability of many part: of Alberta and British Columbi; for growing timothy for seed fa unquestionable, and it is the iiij tention of lhe governmenl through the seed branch to assist fanners in their methods of handling ami marketing their seed. Last year the Dominion Seed Laboratory at Calgary examined 317 samples <>i timothy, of wliich 155 were received irom farmers, 135 of these came from Alberta, I j from British Columbia, 8 from Manitoba and 1 from the United States. Of 317 samples recived .278 were examined for weed seeds and graded a.s follows: Extra No. 1, 7. No. 1, 23. No. 2, 99. No. 3,54. Rejected, 95. Samples containing more than 80 noxious weed seeds or a total of over 400 of all kinds of weed seeds per ounce are rejected, and arc prohibited from sale, under section 9 of the Seed Control Act, Lambs quarters is by far the most prevalent weed seed found in western-grown timothy, occurring in 204 of the samples. Rough cinquefoil is next, being found in 138 samples. Other common weed seeds are worm-seed mustard, gentian, yarrow, blue-eyed grass, pepper grass, tower mustard, evening primrose, western false flax, ball mustard, curl dock and catch fly. Many of these weed seeds could be easily removed from timothy by an ordinary fanning mill fitted with the proper sieves. Farmers having timothy seed are invited to send samples to the Seed Laboratory, Calgary, for grading, or to receive information as to the proper sieves to be used for cleaning their particular seed. Sample bags in which «ed may be sent, as well as further particulars in regard to taking and sending samples, may be ;>ad by sending a request to thc above address. Twenty-five samples of seed will be tested free of charge for any one party, after that 25 cents a sample is charged. made out of northern British Columbia waters was that sent south from Prince Rupert during the past week when the steamer British Columbia sailed with 500,000 pounds of fresh halibut iced and frozen halibut.

Montreal. In view of the work , being undertaken by the International Waterways Commission, the organization at w|10Se meetings Hon. Mr. Ross was a delegate from this prov- incCi did not deem it wise to go fully into the question of stream illution at the present time in rder not to conflict with the deliberations of the international commission. The conference on stream pollution was called' by the Dominion government, the provinces being asked to send representatives. A number of resolutions were passed, a synopsis of them being published in a coast paper some weeks ago; By reason of the fact that a great many streams flow from Canada into the United States and vice versa, the conference members decided not to touch upon the, international side of the pollution question, leaving this matter with the International Waterways Commission. Hon. Mr. Ross states that the subjects taken up at the conference are not as yet of serious moment in this province.

Applicants must give particulars in regard to the soil of their farms, and some account of their experience with such kinds of grain (or potatoes), as they have grown, so that a promising sort for their conditions may be selected. Each application must be separate and must be signed by the applicant. Only one sample of grain and one of potatoes can be sent to each farm. Applications on any kind of printed form cannot be accepted. If two or more samples are asked for in the same letter only one will be sent. As the supply of seed is limited, farmers are advised to apply early; but thc applications will not necessarily be fillejcl in the exact order in which they are received. Preference will always •-"-given to the most thoughtful and explicit requests. Applications received after t' : end ol January will probably be too late.

This Province last year produced over $12,000,000, or over $300 for every man, woman and child within her boundaries, and that with only one railroad, which hugs the United Staes boundary ?Do ypu know that up to now pratically seven- eights of British Columbia has been without railway transportation? British Columbia today has a population of only one to the square mile when it has room and resources for twenty times that number? But British Columbia is on the eve of a giant awakening. The first railway to open the large Central and Northern part of the Province is fast nearing completion. That railway is the G. T. Pacific and trains are now running from its Pacific Coast terminus, Prince Rupert, as far East as Smithers, the first freight and passenger division headquarters, on its. main line Through transcontinental traffic will be established in 1914. Smithers is the first Grand Trunk Pacific freight and passenger division point on the main line after leaving Prince Rupert, and the only division point of this nature between Prince Rupert and Prince George. Lots in the latter division point were offered at auction sales, held in Vancouver and Edmonton. Two short three-day sales brought nearly two million dollars. This sale set the highest record for an auction sale on the Coast. Smithers, like Prince George, is a freight and passenger division headquarters and a Grand Trunk Pacific town. It is owned and offered by the railway company. It will have a large station, shops, roundhouse and other terminal improvements and division point facilities. The railway company will ■pend over three hundred thousand dollars in Smith- rrs for its own' shops and t h e r terminal improvements and division point fa- ilities. It will employ over .00 men here. Smithers combines this advantage of being an im- jortant railway point on a transcontinental railw a y ■/ith its commanding location as the dominating centre of the rich Bulkley Valley, which has over 300,000 acres of fertile agricultural land and which is the first large agricultural area on lhe Grand Trunk Pacific cast of Prince Rupert. Smithers is in the centre of a large and rich mineral belt. Iii has abundant water power ii close proximity. With the opening of through transcontinental traffic and inevitable growth of Prince Rupert, the Bulkley Valley is bound to become that city's chief source of food supplies and Smithers its chief supply point. Smithers is one of the last big opportunities in Western Canada. It is ready for you now. It is the last big opportunity in British Columbia on the Grand Trunk Pacific. Moreover, Smithers is a permanent, thriving community today. With less than ten people in June, Smithers today has over 450. It has a bank, two newspapers, a sawmill, stores, business houses and homes. Auuut 75 permanent, new buildings are under construction. Smithers combine the ad- vatage of being the natural distributing point for a large rich district with that of being a freight and passenger division headquarters of a transcontinental railway. You can judge how important Smithers is considered by the railway company ien you realize that the latter named it after 11s highest official, Mr. Alfred Waldron Smithers, Chairman of its Board of Directors. Trains are now Running — to Smithers If you wish to share in the prosperity that is bound to come from the exploitation of the gigantic resources of Central and Northern British Coh mbia when this vast rich territory is opened to development by the Grand Trunk Pacific, you will lose no time in investigating the opportunity offered to you in Smithers today. Make your decision now. The best locations are going fast. Every train brings new settlers and new ethusiasm. Learn the secret of the large fortunes made in the West—get a well selected lot in a new permanent community before the railway conies. Then consider what a good location in Smithers will be worth when the rush of settlers which follows in the wake of a new railway, tills this new city with a large population.
