This advertising has been entirely misleading, and has necessitated our campaign. We have given the public linembroldere'd acts witli regard to some of the olleuders who have built up enormous fortunes on the money blindly invested in the •'townsite" properties they have so advertised. These facts we have simply stated, but almost coincident with their publication by us the ring of controlled newspapeis, and even the coast dailies, which have profited enormously by the advertising re- j ceived Irom the promoters, have piib- lished material calculated to counter- ' act the efforts of The Hera d. And j ao the public are bewildered. Except ( to a small percentage of people who ^ have actually visited the ground, the IfiVElHRAPS" The real estate market here Is ambling along at a nice easy gait. Mere there is none of the frenzied clamor o( lot vending, which distinguishes the work ot the modern subdivision hend in the larger cities which are used as a base for the clearance ol gigantic sub-division schemes. Down in Vancouver the game is played to the limit. To successfully meet expenses on Hastings Street in Vancouver when serving up a sub-division red hot, it appears neceBssry to hire a scene painter, and strain the resources of a toy shop in arranging a sort of "peep Into the future" in the window of tbe ready-made lot store. This window show ol paper and puppetts i« supposed to portray the future possibilities of the wonderful opportunity being offered to the public by toe men behind the plate glass windows, and their decoys along the curb. An enterprising Arm that has been wiling lots in the townsites up the Nechaco, lor many monthB past, in a little dinky office near the corner of Hastings and Abbot streets ln Vancouver, have a regular vaudeville !t|ow in their little window, with a c("wge ol programme each week, to "tract attention to their wares. In m instance they had a large tarrei "toned with paper in the window to toe top ol which a number of dollar Nils were arranged, with a five-spot We and there to vary the" monotony. Overhead ran a legend to the e Mt that a "barrel of money" was t0 lie made by those who grasped opportunity by the forelock and bung t, to drop thc metaphor, by those »»o leave their cash with the men tit- S ln "change for an agreement sa><* in one of the Nechaco subdivisions. 0j>« evening the writer stood and °«d and pondered-marvelllng the a lle at the credulity of man, wbeu wayfarer happened along, and at- J'ed by the sight ol so much ,uley lying loose, he likewise paused "Ponder.

The Herald has always advocated the simplest solution to our townsite mystery, and that has been to recommend purchasers not to buy property without first see ng it, or ascertained from a reliable, independent source Its . actual worth. Tills advice is applicable until the plans of the G. T. P. are definitely announced, and the public are informed regarding the plans to be fol owed in the development of their townsite, from which information the future of other properties may be determined. When stateme/.ts are once printed on paper and sent broadcast over the face ot the land, such statements are indelibly recorded. The Herald is proud of its record of statements alient the townsite situation, which is the subject of most absorbing interest up here. Our forecast of conditions is dally being substantiated, contrasting strongly with the wild, badly considered statements of our regard to the contemporaries with issue. That our campaign against g.t rich-quick townsite schemers has lost us much money will be fairly apparent, but we consider our financial loss as nothing to the satisfaction of having given the smooth promoters the liveliest contest of their chequered, careers, and at the same time establishing for The Herald a reputation thnt will stand behind it in future years, when the get-rich- quick men have dwindled into the dim distance with their bank rolls, leaving behind them a maze of subdivisions. That there will be a large city here on the bonks of the Praser river there is no possible doubt, but, in the opinion of The Hera'd, it will be many years before the growth of this city will embrace even a small portion of the great area subdivided behind the Indian Reserve. The Orand Trunk people will make a beautiful townsite on this Indian Reservation, although it would not be surprising if the eastern portion alone is sub divided in tbe first instance. To tbe south of the reserve there are a few small tracts, which will always retain good values owing to their position on the Fraser river. South I Fort George is chief of these. An irresponsible publishing concern that Is backed financially by a man ! whose reputation is founded on a record of fraud and swindling, has ! undertaken to further his own ventures by trying to work up public | sentiment against the transfer of the Indian Reserve to the G. T. P., claiming that other railways should have station privileges reserved thereon. The reason for tbis Is that the publishing concern's boss has Jeopardized whatever cbaace his townsites ever had for receiving such assistance to tbe development ot the property as the goodwill of the railroad company would ensure them by trying to adopt methods that he has found successful in other fields, to bend tbe great corporation to his will. Now in order to prove that The Herald's contentions with regard to the situation are being proven true, and to show that the Fort George Tribune is stirring up a mare's nest in their fool movement, which has no logical object except to lend im- Grand Trunk Pacific R'ailway MONTREAL, CANADA CHAS. M.HAYS, PRESIDENT February 13th, 1912. lir. J. V. Daniell, President, Northern Interior Printing Company, South Fort George, B.. C. Dear Sir:- Referring to your letter of January 20th, making enquiry ahout the present position of the Fort George townsite, with respect to the location of the same on Indian Reserve Ho.l reoently purohased from the Indians, will say. While, generally speaking, ever ainoe the main line of our railway has been projected through British Columbia to Prince Rupert, lt haa been expected that eventually as the progress of our surveys and construction work had more nearly approached that locality we would take up for serious consideration and deoision the matter of what our requirements would be in the way of the looation of a railway station and terminals, and the establishing of a townsite, and while the matter has been the subjeot of reference and disoussion and also of considerable oonjeoture in the newspapers during the past two or three years, on account of the faot that the Order-ln-Counoil authorizing the transfer of the Indian Reserve to this Company was only passed within the past two weeks our own plana have not yet sufficiently matured to enable us to state definitely at this time what final aotion will bo taken with reference to the looation of the rail- Way station. Having purohased' the Indian Reserve fo. 1, however, and having decided to locate a townsite thereon, instructions have been given for surveys of the land to be made in order that we may have full information before us for considering what is the best plan to be adopted for laying out the townsite, but as the Koserve oovers an area of 1300 aares, lt will readily be seen that without the information, whloh wa have not yet been I Continued on use 2.) r« ,. lung unn ^'ty. GOOD WIGHT." Get | "ader, the moral to this,' gentle News was received here yesterday that a corpse had been taken from the river near White's Landing. Con- ' stable Higgcnlottam left ,on the j Chilcotin to bury the body. The 1 number of men that are being drown- ed In attempting to run this river 'on rafts is appalling. It is time ths ' authorities took a hand and issued ' official warnings, printed in the languages predominating in the construction camps, dwelling upon the danger of running the river, Dronger & Flynn, a local contracting firm, have a contract to build a warehouse and office building for Contractor Hardy, who Ib working west of Mud River. The buildings are to be erected on Lot 1427, t?i*n erally alluded to as the G, T. P. purchase. This district Lot lies between the Hogkins addition and the townsite of Fort George, both promotions of the Natural Resources Security Company, of Vanrouvor, which firm has tried -f make capital out of the fact that the G. T. P. owned tbis land. It .now develops, however, that the property was acquired by the railway company for a URAVKL PIT. Contractor Hardy has caused a lot ot disappointment in Nechacoville, by by fuilin,' to locate in tbat wonderful city. Contractors are busy men, however, and do not lend themselves to the promotion of film-flam sub-divisions. The steamer B. C. Express will leave tomorrow for an excursion to the mouth of tbe Willow River. portance to their scheme, we reproduce in facsimile a letter we received from the late Chas. M. Hays, President of the Grand Trunk Pacific, dated last February. Since our receipt of tbe letter its writer met death In the wreck of the Titantic, the horror of which catastrophe is still echoing over the world. This letter shows that there can be no foundation to the Irresponsible statements that have been issued by certain promoters anent the location of a railway station. The survey of the Indian Reserve, referred to in the letter, is now under way. This communication, from the late [President Chas. M. Hays, of the ■Grand Trunk Pacific, containing as it does commendation tor our policy is foremost amongst the many ap- ! preciative communications which I we have received regarding the at- [ titude which The Herald has as- i sumed towards the townsite shyster, which attitude has landed us up against both criminal and civil libel suits, and which has been the cause of dastardly attacks upon out business, and of futile endeavors to slander us in other ways. 1 The letter speaks for itself. W08THY CANADIAN ORDER On tbe fifteenth or the twenty- second of July the first lodge ot the only Canadian secret organization, the Cariboo Brotherhood, will be instituted in Kamloops, says the Standard of that city. Mr. Arthur Sullivan, the supreme chief pioneer of tbe order has been visiting Vancouver, also Victoria and New Westminister, where he has been laying the foundation for three influential lodges and has appointed Mr. 0. H. Stuart Wade as the supreme chief pioneer of the Province ot British Columbia. Mr. Wade will be present at Kamloops at the Institution of the lodge and will be accompanied by several others, among whom will be Mr. E. O. S. Scholefield, the provincial librarian. After the Institution of the lodge the members still in session will march to the hall ln which Mr. Schoelfield will deliver a public lecture Illustrated with a series of pictures unique as to their accidental discovery, and of absorbing interest. The pictures will give the public an exact reproduction of the early days in the Cariboo, the old road houses and the men who traveled in search of gold, many of whom will likely be remembered by some ot those who will form a part of the audience. These unique pictures were found a short time ago ln a second-hand store in Frisco, and fortunately fell into the hands ot our provincial librarian, who is ever alert for such valuable relics of the universally interesting period ot the exciting days of the gold rush in this province. Mr. Sullivan feels much satisfied at tbe cordial reception given him by prominent men in three principal cities of the coast, all of whom express themselves in the highest terms as to the great amount of good the organization will do for the province and in their opinion will undoubtedly become tbe greatest and most powerful of all Canadian societies. It is also tbelr opinion that the order is deserving of the support of all patriotic Canadians as It will perpetuate the story of the notable work done by men whose names should never be forgotten by those who now enjoy the fruits of the self- sacrificing lives of the pioneers. The appearance of the gasoline boats on the Fraser river up here is a factor in rapid transportation on the upper Fraser, tbat has not been demonstrated previous to tbe arrival of tbe contractors. Mr. Lund, of the firm of Lund & Rogers has a swift boat which has a record of some fast travelling, i k ... PAGE TWO THE PORT GEOKUU tictxALtu TWO BUSINESS MEN liniincial consideration offered by the agents of the townsite scheme up the We reprint thc following item from Nechaco. The other man was a the Fort George Tribune. That versatile organ should have u comic supplement for such items, which would look well illustrated by u tuinpty tump artist! "Two UBcful businessmen deserted the southern suburb this week and moved from the hamlet on the bankB of the Fraaer to a real town, and now both are established In Kurt (leorge. Oue was N. C. Jorg- ensen, lund ugent and locator, who probably has located more pre- emptors on holdings in tbe Fort George district than any other man in the territory, and the second waB W. P. Moran, the proprietor of the only blacksmith shop in the country. Roth figured that the future holds more for Fort Giorge than any other spot on this section of B.C.'s map and, after a short experience in the suburbs, tbey were glad to get located where business Is brisk and things are moving." Tbe "useful" business men, above referred to, will doubtless have appreciated their usefulness already, Irom the above. As far as South Fort Oeorge is concerned, the loss of these useful citizens has as yet gone unnoticed. The Herald is not property man tor a sub-division's stage setting, neither does it chronicle the arrival and departure of the supernumeraries for the mob scene being rehearsed up the Nechaco river, which is calculated to appeal to the Railway Commission. South Fort George is a city. Here we do not bribe our business men to consid.r existence in our city, neither do we gratuitously erect business bouses for them in order to populate our city. All we ask Is that the investing public come here and Bee for themselves the respective merits of the townsites here, and that they will not permit themselveB to be misled by such balderdash as the above excerpt from an imitation newspaper, which publishes such material with a view to creating an impression which is not consistent with the respective merltB of properties or their values. As (or the two men whom tbe Tribune asserts "deserted the southern suburb" we have to say that their importance does not justify any lengthy reference to the incident of their migration. Oue is a blacksmith, whom, we are Informed, changed his place ot business lor sciuattcr on a government lot here, who makes his living by locating settlers and making bricks. Neither were property owners here. We could recite so many details regarding the, people who have come up here ostensibly to locate on the Nechaco town- site, but who are now doing business in this town, that it would be wearisome. BUOYANT S. FORT GEORGE There are many new places in this province of British Columbia; new places on the map with "futures". None of these can compare with the thriving little city of South Fort George for the energy displayed by its citizens in the upbuilding of their town. South Vort George, is a dynamo burg, it hums, and radiates active currents of energy. The writer haB been away for three months, yet in the interval, brief though it is, the development of the town has gone forward with astonishing activity. The permanent nature of the buildings being erected, and the up- to-date furnishings' of the business houseB opening up here, shows the satisfaction which exists in the opinion of tbe general public regarding the assured stability of values here, and the assurance of the future importance of the town. All this activity is tbe result of independent investment entirely. There is no town- s te concern to s .bald ze bu nn bs houses here, and compared witb the puling eltorts of the outlying subdivisions to drag development to their "business centres" by bribery, South Fort George is as gold to base metal, The town Is coming Into Its own. Having been content w.th its natural stragetic position on ' the Fraser River here, the people of South Fort George have not conspired to pitt themselves against the interests of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railroad, as has been the case with the promoters of tbe Fort George townsite up the Nechaco River. This, town has the goodwill of the big railway company, and this means much to tbe future ot its development. As we have always maintained, this place will form the headquarters and distributing centre tor tbe forces engaged upon the construction of Canada's greatest trans continental railroad, and this is being borne out every day, even at this early stage of the game. So it will be in a greater degree when construction of the noith and south line, which we predicted years ago, commences next year from this town to the city of Vancouver. There has been a long period ot waiting. Here, at a point over three hundred miles from a railroad an energetic people have been waiting for the boom to swish along. Never tor an instant haa a depression been felt, but tbe inactivity, as compared to what is anticipated, has hung upon the atmosphere like an obscuring mist.

S. postal money order for one dollar and fifty cents, which I would be pleased if you would use to renew my subscription to your paper for six months from month of March, 1912. Your paper has been coming to me addressed to Jos. Irwin, Box 153, Gillette, Wyo., and and my subscription ran out in March, 1912. I am very thankful to you for continuing sending the paper after the subscription ran out. I own two lots in the McGregor addition, and as one of them is right up against South Fort George, on north end, I think in time I will have something good there. I also own two good lots in G. T. P. townsite of Fraser Lake, and your paper gives me the best and most reliable news in regard to that whole country that I have been able to get and your fight against the Natural Resources outfit is going to be of much good for people who want to invest up there and want to know who they are dealing with.

( From the foregoing it will be seen that not as yet having been in position to determine for ourselves what plans oan finally be adopted for the looation of our station and terminals at Kort Oeorge, we have naturally been unable, even though we might have desired to do so, to authorize anyone to make any statements ln this respect, and any such statements that have been made in the paat therefore have been absolutely without any foundation of authority from any of the Officers of this Company. neither have any agreements been made with, or any sums of money reoeived from anyone whatsoever With reapeot to the location of our station at Kort Oeorge. Tlie effort made by the Fort Oeorge "Herald" to prevent misrepresentation with respect to that locality, that would be misleading to prospective settlers, is oertalnly commendable and has our heartiest endorsation, and I have no doubt if you will oontinue to pursue this policy you will have cause to feel well repaid for doing ao by tho reputation for reliability whioh you will have established when railway transportation facilities have reaohed Fort Oeorge over our line, whioh we hope may be the case within tho next twelve months, and as soon as we are in position to do so it is our intention to make a definite announcement for the guidance of the settlers and the public generally who are going into that country, with Terfpeot to the plans we shall finally adopt for the development of Jh^Fort George Reserve, ft A^* ^^m <^^k ^^m *^^b *^^fe *^^» *^^b ^^m ^^m ^^m <^^h ^^^ ^^ ^ |j Choicest Seasoned Lumber \ \ ~ ~ 1 A We have specialized in the Lumber business, which means % A that we know this business thoroughly, and can give satis- S faction by filling orders from a stock of the highest grades, A We Make a Specialty of Seasoned FIR Lumber of the Best Class ^ Get estimates from us on all kinds of Building Material.

Editor Gold and Dross: "Would you consider lots 1 and 2 block 56, in section A., ln the business centre ol Fort Geo ge? What would you consider a fair value for tbis property? About what time will tbe railway be finished to Fort George? "No one but a mind reader would at this stage be able to tell where tbe business centre of Fort Qeorge will be located. Just because tbe dupe issued by tbe Natural Resources Security Company puts it on their property, it doeB not neces.arily make it so.

ROBERT A. RENWICK, Deputy Minister of Lands. Lands Department, Victoria, B.C., 12th June, 1912. CANCELLATION OF RESERVE THE "SMVIDER" Says the Victoria Colunist: The' "subdivider" continues to come in for hard knocks. The condemnations are altogether too sweeping. Undoubtedly subdivisions have been put on the market without any justification at all and have in point of fact been little short of criminal. On the other hand, there are many which are entirely legitimate, and offer real investments. It is not easy to know where to draw the line; because in very many instances the value of lots in subdivisions Is a matter of opinion. The recommendations of tbe Canadian Chamber ot Commerce of London, which we printed a few days ago, were excellent, and if they were observed they will reduce the cbanceB of fraud to a minimum. We use the word fraud to signify the publication of misleading statements. If a man In London or Toronto buys a lot under tbe impression that it is where it is not, a fraud lias been committed against bim, although it may not be very easy to make it so appear in court. If people buy with real knowledge ot the facts, they have no one to blame but themselves when tbey make a foolish purchase. The difficult thing Is to get them to understand tbe (acts. No one ought to have to be told that even a rapidly growing prairie city Is not likely to spread miles upon mlleB in every direction within many, many years; but the trouble is that so few people are able, even with the facts before them, to come to a sensible conclusion. There Is only one consolation, namely that those who buy lots in Indefensible subdivisions, would probably lose their money In some other way, If this one were not open to them. It is safer than betting on a borse race, and disappointment is not likely to be as keen. It is a great pity that wild-cat subdivisions cannot be prevented, for they do a great deal of harm to legitimate business. NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the reserve existing over Grown Lands in. the vicinity of Stuart River, Cariboo, notice of which bearing dale February 15th. 1910, was published in the British Columbia Gazette, February 17th, 1910, is cancelled, is so -far as the same relates to the lands surveyed as Lots 6251, 6232, $53, tlffil, 6256, 6266, 6257, 6268, 6265, 6272, 6298, 6297, 6290, 0289, 6271, 6206, 0264. 0259, 627:t, 6280, 6281. 6279, 6274, 6260, 0263, 0267, 6170,6290, 0295, 6291, 6269, 0268, 6262, 6261, 6275, 6278, 6284, 0277, 6276. 6285, 0280, 6287, 6288, 0292, 0293, 0294, 6296a. 6301, 6905, 0300, 6299, 6903, 6904, 0907, 6908, 6908a and 6900, all in the Cariboo District.

Sub-contractor J. M. Kullauder, from the Mouth of the Willow River, paid his first visit to town th'.s Week. Mr. Kullander states that he will not attempt to bring steam- shovels down to his contract this year, as owing to the fall of water iu the Fraser river the difficulty of getting the freight downstream is even more difficult than usual. The work on the, seventeen miles of Mr. Kulluuder's contract throi gh the Kagle Lake cut-ofl country, he Btatos Is all very light work and does not not require steara-sho/sU.
