VOLUME 1, NO. 68 FLyWTGEORGEHERAl SOUTH FORT GEORGE, B.C., DECEMBER 16, 1911 The Presbyterian Church in holding its service in South Port George every Sunday at ,'i fi. in. Frederick Burden, P. L. S., left here on Monday's stage for the south after a busy season of surveying near Fort George. Mr. Burden will return in the early spring. The B. ('. Express Company's statjes have entered upon a new schedule here, coniniencing last week. In future the stages will leave here on Monday mornings and will arrive from the south on Saturdays. Thc mail closes iiu six o'clock on Sunday. Russel Peden, who has been purchasing grain in the lower Cariboo country returned here on Wednesday last. Mr. Peden states that the price of oats in (lie Quesnel country is seven cents a pound. Hay sells there as high as $75 a ton. the Quesnel ranchers make hay while tbe sun shines, peddling it while that luminous orb hides behind wintry clouds. Their day i. surely now, but think of all tin yesterdays. Next year we predict the price of hay will average 840 a ton. A. G. Hamilton leaves for Stewart Lake today on business connected with his store at that place. Mr. Hamilton is one of the pioneers of this town. He is not a young man, but has kept himself in his splendid physical condition by exercise nnd regular habits. He can handle a team of horses with lhe Ix'st of bis drivers, and will cover the distances of a drive with records to his credit. Mr. ' Hamilton hns initiated a number of valuable additions to the business houses of the interior country, and is planning new ventures from day to day. Over in Hammondville there are new rumors about station sites. We have not heard what the price was supposed to be this time, but the location is believed to be somewhere near the Foley Welch & Stewart land west of the townsite. Our advice to investors is not to lose .iny sleep over Mr. Hammond's prognostications about the lo- t il ion of (he future station grounds, There is a gentleman named Judge Mal.ee who oc-1 i-upies the Chairmanship of the' Railroad Commission of Canada who will locate the railroad station here in the right place when the time comes. Time For Incorporation: South Fort George Sohuld Have Home-rule ^fcvjwwroij?^-^ y .|7nwe«.ii«_.t «„«£„.,, on ' ' l-auch matters. * •SDOtmrp^R ANNUM There appears to be no con- s.stanl reason to advance as to why ant! wherefore South Fort George should remain in the state of a nondescript hamlet in the hills of British Columbia's hinterland. We have reasonable grounds to look forward with confident anticipation to a I tide of prosperity which will come swishing through the Yel- lowlvad Pass next year. In the second issue of the Fort Oeorge ; Herald, published in August of last year, we dwelt upon the necessity of incorporating this townsite into a municipality, At that time only preparatory measures could have been entered into regarding the subject, but today we are in the fortunate position of having right ; under the laws governing the , matter, to incorporate South Fort Oeorge as a municipality, There are no other townsites | hereabouts that can comply' with the requirements of the act. The provincial government an- spending a lot of money in the planting of more rose trees round the capitol at Victoria, '■■ but they will not spend a cent towards building sidewafks past their vacant lots in South Fort Oeorge. They are apparently satisfied thi.it South Fort George is a well cast cog in the political machine,—a town with a Conservative but no Liberal association may be so regard- • ed— and they appear to ignore ,our requests for the few paltry and primal necessities of a : young town's equipment, with malice aforethought. Perhaps ; thus is rather an exaggerated ,' view of the situation, but when a live community is retarded in its progress by the negligeneies of overworked departments, it is time for us to get together and organize towards governing the destinies of our own j town by home rule. The requirements for a com- ' inutility or area seeking incorporation are briefly as follows: The policy cenc^rnint; municipal legislation continuously followed by the legislature of this province has been to give What John Houston Said as large as possible a measure of local and self government to municipal corporal ions, according to a government review, and to facilitate the incorpor- poration of municipalities wherever wan-anted by population and property. The general legislation at present in force respecting municipalities is contained in three statutes passed during the session of 1908, and known as lhe .Municipal Incorporation Act, the municipal Flections Act, and the Municipal Clauses Act, and amendments, dealing respectively with municipal incorporations, elections, government and internal management, Adequate powers in these acts conserve the corporate rights, powers and liabilities of existing municipalities. Under tl.o lirst mentioned act a city municipality, to include a tract of land not more than Quesnel is reported as "quiet" ;" f)«vs,.nt, and very little ,lllldmg is going o„ j,, (hat ""V at the present time.

' There appears Utile room to doubt that Vancouver has even now irretrievably lost the trad ,2,000 acres in area, may lie incorporated by letters patent upon petition signed by the owners of more than one half in value of the lands within lhe proposed boundaries, if within such boundaries there are present at the date of the lirst signature to the petition not less than one hundred male British, subjects of full agej and a township or distriet municipality upon petition by the like proportion of owners, (including holders of pre-emptions of at least one year's standing), if al least, thirty British Subjects of | full age have been residents of the area proposed to be included in the municipality for at least six months before the date of the firsti signature to the petition. The act also contains elaborate provisions for securing an extension or reduction of corporate 1 mils, and for securing the dissolution of a municipal corporation upon petition, of the ratepayers, should circumstances rentier such a course necessary. There arc no requirements incumbent upon a community applying for incorporation that South Fort George can not comply with, therefore there appears to be no reason to longer delay taking a step that is for our own advancement. ..(, luov i ne i.i aiie if this section of the Northern Interior trade. Next year the Edmonton drummers will invade this territory and will book wholesale orders for delivery by steel at the head of navigation on the Fraser, md by the new steamboats down (lie great waterway direct and uninterrupted to this point. How Vancouver can hope to hold this trade with a 220 mile waggon road hall included in tlf freight bills we fail utterly to understand, This thing has been self-evident for years, just as the fact that Alberta is building a railroad into the Peace River to make a great semicircle with f|i' Pine River Pass as its extreme norl hern point, and |Fort Georgo the terminus of its de scent into B. ('., will drag more trade away from the Pacilic terminus of lhc C, P. R. unless that city can rush a railroad to Fort George, which would also derive equal benefit with Alberta from the McArthur Construction Company's road. Al present there is bill one cily between the Yellowhead Pass and Aldermere, in the Bulkley valley, a distance of ■about 550 miles, following ihe route of the (I. T. P. survey. i There arc one or (wo lownsites i but there is no inhabited community, in the true sense of tin word, excepting South Fort Oeorge. Next year, alter the ad- 'vent of thc new line of com- niunieat ion by lhe arrival of I st eel at the Cache, from Edmonton, other siles for future cities will spring up between this place and the head of navigation on the Fraser River. Dome Creek, lot) miles upstream from this place promises to become a live cominun- ity. It is admirably situated to attract a tourist trade by (he beauty of (he surrounding scenery, and (hie splendid hiinl- ing to be found in thai vicinity. Dome Creek is also situated in the heart of the upper Fraser limber country, where a great lumbering industry will undoubtedly grow up. 1 In lhe Fort George Tribune of February Hllli., HUH, John Houston, lhe well known journalist who founded thai paper and who died from exposure to conditions his constitution was unable to withstand whilst publishing thai journal, wrote the following article referring to the initial venture of the Natural Resources Security Company Limited: "A business man of Calgary, Alberta, writes The Tribune under date of February Isl, asking "if the government of British Columbia and the .Natural Resources Security Company of Vancouver own the townsite proper of Fort George"? The answer is, No! The Natural Resources Security Company acquired by purchase sonic 700 acres of land, which is situated al lhe sunt',west corner of the Indian Reserve, and distant a mile and a half from Fraser River and a mile from the Nechaco River. The government, once land is used for townsite purposes, becomes the owner of one fourth of the lots as a reversionary right. It is a provision in a general law passed in 1896 and not a partnership specially entered into between the Natural Resources Security Company and the Government of the Province of British Columbia, a.s the former would - have the readers of its advertising literature believe. Tiie land in question, iu time, may be- come an inhabited part of Fort Oeorge; but at the present time il is a "wild-cat", and tiiu' 5,000 lots into which it has been subdivided have no selling value at Fort George, but are being offered al Calgary and in hundreds of other distant places at reds of other distant olgces at from $150 to $300 each. In the opinion of the editor of The Tribune, Fori George will, for: two or lliree years, he where it , is today, on 200 acres of Sand, fronting on Fraser River and not a mile from (he located line of lhe Orand Trunk Pacific Railway through (he Indian reserve, ll is, common opinion al Fori Georgo lhal the railway company will purchase the Indian reserve land, sonic 1,300 acres in all. make a port ion of it a townsite and the remainder railway yards. The Hudson's Bay Company has 07 acres lying between lhe Indian Keserve and lhc 200 acres on which lhe lown is now building, Adjoining the Hudson's Bay Co.'s 07 acres on lhe west is Bird's pre-empt ion of III) acres. , These four tracts have a frontage of a mile and a half on i Fraser river and aboul the same on the Nechaco river, and if sub-divided would make 10, 000 town lots and leave the railway 500 acres for yard pur-; poses. Ten thousand town lots is enough for a city of 20.000. Fort George may have 20,000 people bul the editor of Tin ''Vibunc will nol live to see I In I Next week comes Christ.mas. There is nothing artificial about Christinas in this region. The local color is commensurate with the ideal Christmas of our youth. The scenery suggests (hose regions depicted as the territory of Santa Claus himself, as he ranges over the snow clad hills surrounded by cohorts of capering imps, and propelled by docile reindeer. In this we are I ii be envied, surely, in so far as the perfection of the scenic surroundings contribute materially toward the Christinas of tradition, coveted by (he dwellers in the tropical central latitudes of the two hem- isispheres. The writer once spent Christmas under the sweltering sun of the tropic of Capricorn, and looks back with amusement at memories of drill-clad north- oners sipping sticky anisette under an awning, waiting for the cool of the night-time to gather energy enough to celebrate their perverted Christmas, of memories so diametrically opposed (o their surroundings. This will also be a Christmas . of turkeys, and other good ' things to eat and drink, imported by our enterprising merchants over a three hundred mile waggon road, in order that we may leave little to imagination in the celebration of tl"J3 festive season; which all goes to show the march of progress and development in South Fort George. The bar-keep is ready for concentrated action. The jail will be locked and the key hung up for the day. The snow flakes Hitter down gently and silently , in the correct manner for descent, and although we are at present deprived of the music of church bells, the churches are f here antl are equipped with bel- , fries, so this item of stage ef- j feet must stand. The children will have a Christmas tree. The dear ladies will present each other with em- | broidered catch-alls, pretty and capacious. The mere men will undoubtedly celebrate the occasion as befits their northern spirit. The social features and entertainment are planned to furnish a period of levity and joy. Christmas—comes but once a year. ruary. On March the eighth he i died in Quesnel. He set the article up in type himself and printed it on his Cordon press. The writer saw him a few minutes before he diet), in Quesnel, and he was even then in full possession of all his faculties.

HIM btUliBt HtfiHLU PUBLISHED BY THE NORTHERN INTERIOR PRINTING CO. -I B. DANIELL PRESIDENT Devoted to the Interests ol Fort Cleorge and the entire Northern interior. J. B. DANIELL. Editor. Saturday, December, 161911 IN another column appears a plea for the serious consideration of our citizens, to incorporate a municipality of South Fort George. Such a procedure would make but a slight dili'eivsnce in the levying of taxation, which would be nore than compensated by the benefits accruing to the city as the direct result of local control. W'e have already been approached by a strong concern that wishes to install an electric lighting system here, providing a franchise could be secured. Unincorporated we can not advance inducements to such concerns, although ample justification is conceded by the conditions involved here today in equipping our city as a community with such bright prospects as South Fort George should be equipped. Such matters of moment have drifted along here since the inception of this townsite enterprise without much comment or active agitation, as the time could not have been deemed propitious for the contemplated action subsequent to the final settlement of affairs of such moment as the Indian Reserve question, upon which largely depended the future prosperity of this community. No matter how ambitious a community may be to maintain trade supremacy, or progressive conditions of any description, without munictual organization the active work necessary to further such undertakings will inevitably wane when the duties of public spirited citizenship become irksome to the people, and devolve upon a few individuals. So today we have here a moribund Board of Trade, which started out to do great deeds, and undoubtedly helped very materially in its lirst burst of enthusiasm to supply accurate information to people outside the district regarding local conditions. \S ith municipal organization, governed by men elected to preside over the civic affairs and protect the interests of the citizens, the responsibility for the town's progress is shifted upon the shoulders of a coterie of fit men to accept such oflice, whose actions are calculated to further prosperity. Then let us incorporate. OI the Peace Kiur i,nnu ihmi.u. TAKK notice tli.it John II. Pinchbeck, ol SU,cm, 1).

Peace kiver district and tending j to secure for Vancouver, with its great advantages as an ocean port, a big share of the potential business with that vasT. northern region. The country north of Edmonton is be'ng rapidly opened up : . There has been one long trek j all this summer into the Peace j Itiver disti'ict. It is said i.hat j the wheat growing limit wil extend as far as (ireat Slavi Lake, the most northerly point reached by the buffa'o in their annual migration. This means prosperous settlements for six hundred miles north of Edmonton and possibly beyond. Splendid samples of copper and silver lead have been brought in from this northern land and in the Fort McMurray distriet three different companies have found oil in marketable quantities. Natural gas is abundant at many points and there is an asphalt country extending for a touusand square miles. All that is now required for the full development of this immense tract is railway communication and transportation. Three lines are prepared to invade those northern regions and within five years it, will be a comparitively easy matter to make the trip from Edmonton up to the Slave Lake and on clown the MacKenzie into the Arctic Ocean. In fact the Hudson's Bay Company is abandoning its traditional conservative policy and is even now advertising that it will be prepared next year to sell round trip tickets for this very trip, which will take the traveller nearly three thousand miles north. r Choice Pre-emptions...
