River, was made recently. grading operations along the north jjjeof Seaton Lake, near Lillooet, actually in progress, many conation camps have been opened and lers are being established as rspidly ■possible. Tour miles of grading from the end Iteel on the Howe Sound & North- ] Railway, recently acquired by the lific Great Eastern, will be done by , Welch. His work will start at the Ifluence of the Squamish and tha lakamus rivers, and will extend up I valley of the latter stream. With 1 exception of five miles in the val- j still unlet, the sub-contract* going Itheastfrom the end of the four- ■ section to be built by Mr. Welch le been awarded in this order as las the summit of the divide be- sen Howe Sound and Pemberton ladovvs; McCall & Wilson, seven McGowan & Murcheson, five McGillivray Bros., five miles; Alpine & Cunningham, five miles. ■he work along the Cheakamus |er, especially the sub-contract of fall & Wilson around Bear Moun- , is very heavy, probably on ac- nt of its inaccessibility and tha tpnessof the banks of the river, falling any other railway construe- ever undertaken in British Co- Ibia. lommencing near the town of LU- it sub-contracts for forty-two miles line have been awarded.

Subtracts for the mileage between Iberton portage and Pemberton Idows and thence up the steep val- V Green River to the summit of Coast range separating the valley lhc Lillooet River from Howe Jul will probably not be awarded un- |Mt spring. Vport is a busy place since tha factors started to ship in men and T*ng outfits which are being ship- J inland by rail for distribution K the route. Mr. Welch hu defined to push the construction with [possible speed, and expects that Iral thousand men will be assem- 1 in the various -construction camps tm tne ""t three weeks.

Headquarters camps have been established at the end of the Howe Sound line and at the town of Lillooet, where hundreds of tons of supplies are being assembled. Supplies for the et st end of the contract are being shipped in by wagon from Lytton, between which point and Lillooet Mr. Kellett last week established two camps for the accommodation of freighters. Mr. Kellett is a veteran railway man, having been connected with Mr. Welch's company for many years, sometimes in an official capacity and at other times as a sub-contractor. He has assisted in building thousands of miles of railways in Canada and the United States. He is a Canadian hailing from Pembroke, Ont. A COINAGE DANCER the jemberton.

Both coins are nearly alike in appearance, excepting that the penny is a trifle the smaller. The obverse and reverse sides of the coins are similar, excepting that th« lettering is respectively "Ten Dollars" and "One Cent." Both coins were minted this year and at the same time. The penny is of an unusually light copper color, the bust of King George being shown in relief on both coins, and the gold coin is the first ever turned out by the Canadian mint paper currency having been the circulating medium above the value of fifty cents. Business men have been warned of an attempted fraud on the part of men in Canada who have triple- plated the new Canadian penny with gold and have floated the coins in the States as $10 gold pieces, relying on the hurry of business to successfully conceal the tell-tale lettering. It is stated that a number of such coins have been passed in the Pacific Northwest It was on account of the danger of fraud and the ease with which it might be committed that local banks have warned employees handling cash to keep a sharp lookout for the belligerent from over the boundary line. $3 PER^^A^g.* C- FORT GEORGE PRE-EMPTOR DIES SUDDENLY AT NEWWESTISTER Death from apoplexy, caused by indigestion, due to over-eating, was the verdict of a New Westminster jury, Nov. 23, in the case of Charles Fetrow, who recently arrived there from Fort George. He had fallen in a fit in the B. C. E. R. depot, and expired shortly after his removal to the hospital. Charles Fetrow was one of the old-time pre-emptors and well known. Like many another of the early settlers, he sought land for the quality of it, not for its proximity to a subdivision, and in consequence walked over fortunes. He located his pre-emption up the Nechaco, some five miles west of Ovasco's, and his land is considered No. 1 from an agricultural standpoint. Had he, however, located seven miles closer in, on the vacant land near what is known as the Grand Trunk gravel pit, he would have had a comfortable competency without the resultant hard labor of a British Columbia pre-emp tor. Land in this vicinity has sold for $100 an acre, and some higher. Mrs. Fetrow, who predeceased her husband less than a year, was Hhe first white woman to come into the Fort George district and take up her residence here. Mr. Fetrow was a native of Indiana. ONE IN FOURTAKES LAND Statistics compiled by Charles S. Hotchkiss, commissioner for Alberta, show that the popula tion of that province has increased between 90,000 and 100,000 during the last fiscal year, as compared with 70,000 the year before. He estimates the present population of Alberta at half a million, as against 372,238, as shown by the last federal census. His reports indicate that one of every four homeseekers settles on farm lands. Many of the newcomers are experienced farmers from England, who bring a knowledge of mixed farming and dairying. Plans are under way to bring as many people as possible from Great Britain, where 200.000 men are ready, but without sufficient funds to undertake the journey to Western Canada. Mr. Howhkiss said: "All that Alberta needs is more men and women." Railway From Eagle Lake to Barkerville Asks for Charter The Cariboo, Barkerville & Willow River Railway company will apply to parliament for permission to build a line extending from a point on the G.T.P. railway company's projected line of railway at Eagle Lake, thence following as nearly as possible the Willow river to the town of Barkerville, B.C., and also authorizing the construction of the following extension and branch lines: (a) From a point at the southern end of the company's line near Barkerville by the most feasible route following the general direction or valley of Williams creek and Pleasant valley to a point near Cunningham creek. Thence following the general direction or valleys of Cunningham creek, Swamp river, Cariboo lake and the north fork of the Quesnel river to a point near Quesnel Forks, it will follow the general direction or valley of the south fork of the Quesnel and the west shore of Quesnel lake to a point at or near the mouth of Horsefly river; thence to a point near its source. From there it is planned to run to Clearwater river, thence following the general direction or valley of the Clearwater river to a point at or near its junction with the North Thompson river and, (b) From a point on the main line of the company's railway about seventeen miles or thereabouts from its northern terminus and thence in an easterly direction by the most feasible route to a point at or near Bear river, a distance not exceeding twenty miles. "Big Julia" Shot Down by Frank Taft at Mile 53 REAVER TRAPPING BYTHE INDIANS The Victoria office of the attorney-general has been advised that the Indians Benjamin Ber.- nett and Phillip Roberts, arrested recently at Terrace, on the Skeena river, and charged with violation of the Game act, in the killing of beaver despite the protection extended to this animal until November 15th next, have been released on suspended sentence. In this case the plea was put forward by the Indians that they had always been accustomed to take the beaver, that the salmon, their staple food supply, had this year failed, and that the beaver were essential for the preservation of the tribe from hunger, if not starvation. Indian Agent C. C, Perry strongly urged the injustice of penalizing the Indians under such circumstances, especially as the tribes of the Stickine, the Liard and the Peace River are still permitted to trap and take the beaver, nor violate the law in so doing, When the case at Terrace was brought to the attention of Deputy Attorney-General McLeod he intimated that the game law. as almost any other law, was meant to be interpreted with some discretion. Magistrate Little seemingly viewed the alleged offence in a similar light, and there will be no disposition at Victoria to interfere with his decision in the matter. Meanwhile representations are to be made to the attorney-general in the hope of securing a relaxation of the beaver trapping prohibition for the.benefit of the natives in certain beaver-over-run districts, where at the same time general food supplies are far from plentiful, QUESNEL COURTHOUSE Plans and specifications have been completed in the architect's branch of the Public Works department for the new provincial offices and courthouse at Quesnel and tenders will be invited calling for the immediate completion of the building, The structure will occupy a commanding site and will have a frontage of 31 feet by a depth of 09 feet. On the ground floor will be public offices, with private quarters for the government agent, the assessor, the sheriff and the constable, the latter living upon the premises, The basement will contain provision for storage, four double steel cells, and an ample kitchen. On the first floor will be the courtroom, with special and suitable rooms for judge, jurors and barristers. The building is to be of frame, on a [concrete foundation, with a large steel fireproof yault. In the prize fights which occurred across the line Thanksgiving night (28th ult.) Battling Nelson was thoroughly whipped by Leach Cross in ten rounds. Ritchie defeated Wolgast, the lightweight champion in sixteen rounds. Wolgast fouled his opponent twice. The top fell off Jackass Mountain, near North Bend, last week and destroyed 250 feet of the C.N.R. tunnel. What is said to be a feud of long standing over a woman resulted in the slaying of a man known along the G. T. P. grade as "Big Julia,"thestronjest and biggest man on the grade, early last week, by Frank Taft, a barber, at Mile 29, B. C. Taft, it appears, fired one shot from a .38 calibre revolver, at the laborer's heart. The bullet failed to take effect; and as "Big Julia" turned and ran Taft fired at the abdomen, killing the man instantly. Only one man was an eye-witness of the affair. His name is Taylor and he refuses to divulge any information as to the cause of the fracas. Immediately after the murder Taft was taken into custody by Constable Campbell Nelson, of the provincial police, who lodged the murderer in the small lock-up at Mile 29. Taft confessed to the murder, and fearing that he would be the victim of a lynching party of citizens, requested that he be removed to the lockup at Mile 52. A Grand Trunk locomotive was chartered and the prisoner placed on board and taken to Mile 52. At the time of being transferred Taft refused to divulge the cause of the deed. He merely told the officers a long story about his being generally disliked by the citizens at Mile 29. and being unable to understand the feeling towards him. Neither of the men engaged in the fracas has been known to indulge in intoxicants, Taft will come up before Inspector Bates at Mile 52, for his preliminary hearing. SETTLED INJO MINUTES Edmonton, Alta., Nov, 24. — Mayor Armstrong, who is not a candidate for re-election; Samuel Young, head of a bridge contracting firm; A. Farmllo, of the Edmonton Trades and Labor council, and representatives of the steel workers, settled a strike of seven weeks' duration on the bridge across the Saskatchewan river, at their first conference, which occupied less than twenty minutes. The contractors agreed to pay 50 cents an hour for nine hours to steel workers. The former scale was 45 cents an hour for ten hours. The men are now at work. The structure will be used by the Canadian Pacific Railway company in gaining entrance to its new passenger station in Jasper avenue, from the south side. A number of men were imported recently to take the place of the strikers, but refused to work after reaching the city. Edmonton, Alta., Nov. 24. — Edmonton is in the thick of a lively three-cornered mayoralty contest. The candidates are— W. Short, K.C. formerly mayor, who framed the present charter, which gives the city thc widest possible latitude for self-government: W. J. Magrath, retired millionaire land-owner, who favors extensive improvements, under the slogan, "Fair play and a square deal for everybody," and Aid. Joe A. Clarke, formerly of the Yukon country, known by his friends as "the insurgent of the council" and "watchdog of the treasury."

The aame committee drafted rules and regulations to L„vern the competition, and with the exception of the off-aide rate which is eoverned by the Ontario H. A.

Those eligible to compete are included in the I Cariboo district, south as far as the ■141-Mile House, north to Fraser Lake, land east to Tete Jaune Cache. Bona ■fide players in the district November 1, ■this year, are eligible to play. Once a Layer has engaged to play or plays Iwi.'h a team he must continue doing so ■throughout the season. Two30-minute ■periods will constitute the game, with Ian intervaljof ten minutes, and the beat ■three out of five.
