e Station Site
Facts Plainly Told.
Confirmation of telegrams reported last week from the Railroad Commission has been received of the public hearing to
be given next Monday, the 23rd,
on the question of the location of
the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway
depot.
Representatives of the Railroad Company, the (lovernment
and interests effected are either
here or on the way, and it is expected that the subject will be
given a thorough canvass at this
time. Without doubt, the long
drawn out controversy is nearing
its end, and the suspense and
damaging delay will shortly be
over.
It will be over, if it is settled
a.s it. should be: in the interests
of the people, of the business
interests and the developments
already made and projected.
Notwithstanding the fact patent on all sides that GeorgeStreet
is the natural centre of the town-
site, there are those who are
still trying to swing it against
that development to points inaccessible, and - we fear - for the
sole purpose of real estate speculation and not in the interest of
the real settlers and business of
the City.
The Fraser River has always
heen the gravating point of settlement, of commerce and activity. The Indians made the banks
of the Fraser their home, before
the white man was known in the
country.
The towns of South Fort
George and Fort George were
started about the same time.
South Fort George struggled
without money or influence or
advertising, and by the weight
of its own location quickly came
to the front as the leading town
in the Northern Interior of British Columbia, controlling 70 to 80
per cent of the trade and always
maintaining the lead in population. As all things travel along
the line of least resistance, so
has it been with South Fort
George: it was in the track of
trade and commerce; it was located at the natural point of
attraction by reason of the flow
of the waters of theFraser at
its very doors and could not escape prosperity if it would,
Not so with the sister town of
Fort George. It has required
oceans of money, spent in advertising and exploiting in ways
too numerous to mention here,
to keep it before the public and
make its sale a success. And no
one will deny it has not been a
successful sale, 'thousands of
lots have been traded to the public. Almost superhuman strength
has been necessary to keep it
going, and we must take our
hats off to the gentlemen who
have steered its career since the
fall of 1909.
But after years of effort, of
large sums of money spent, it
would seem as if the old adage,
"water will not run up stream"
is again to be demonstrated, for
its population for some time has
been decreasing, its business on
the wane, and the irresistable
force of nature is at last too
Plainly evident, that the trend of
development and business activity is toward the east and south
to the Fraser River.
It is useless to fight against
nature. The business men of
Fort George long since found
out that they were being left in
the march of time, and in consequence started months ago to
Pack up and move their homes,
their business,   their buildings,
even to the centre of George
Street activity. They tried
stopping half way, but at last
saw its futility and are now in
the centre, and George Street of
its own weight and natural selection has won its own place.
We again put ourselves on record that from this centre the
development will spread to the
east and south, and that for
years to come the growth and
activity of business and business
investment will be in this vicinity.
With all these actual facts before us, why do we yet foster
the idea or the possibility of a
Station site down in the hole
under the hill at the foot of
Maple Street? In a bog and
swamp that will cost all kinds of
money to fill in, to be fit for the
purpose of a station and its approaches.
And after the money has been
spent and the site made suitable,
we can never get away from the
expensive grades in hauling
traffic, whether that traffic be
freight, oxpresf, baggage or
passenger, The loads must
necessarly be at a minimum with
high costs, instead of at a maximum and attendant low costs of
transportation. Such folly is in
direct violation of all the laws of
nature, all the rules and practises
of twentieth century economy,
and business usage. It but adds
to the high cost of living.
The Herald and its readers
dare to believe that the Railway
Commission is composed of high
minded business men who weigh
well all the attendant features of
such a question and who will see
to it that the people are not sad-
deled with any unnecessary
burden in the development of
this great northern interior city,
a burden which has been and will
be sufficient in itself without
adding the monstrocity of such
a location for its principal or one
of its principal elements of development.
Right here we wish to emphasize that the decision of the
Railroad Commission placing the
station at the foot of Maple
Street, wliich decision was made
at Ottawa before the nature of
the ground and profiles or conditions were well known, — while
perhaps immature and unwise —
might from the nature of mans
and blue prints submitted have
some excuse; but from a scientific and engineering standpoint,
from the welfare of the people
and business at large, it is now,
with all the light shed upon it,
inexcusable and on its very face
too patent and open an error to
repeat.
The very fact that the Railroad Commission have been manly and brave enough to reconsider their previous decision, to
hold another hearing, to go over
it again and to personally inspect
the site, should bring upon the
Commission commendation rather than criticism. It is a momentous question, and the
people, the greater number to be
benefitted or injured, have a
right, that should not be denied
them of having this question set
right, and set right for all time,
And the Herald dares to affirm
that in the interests of the very
people who are fighting the location of the site at George Street,
thoii' bdSt interests in the years
to come will be found to be in
that location; and that while we
wrestle with them at this time,
fairly and in gentlemenly manner disputing  with them  over
Fourth Street - Queen Street
Bridge Started.
Oil Thursday, the grading of
Queen Street through the Hudson
Bay subdivision-was completed and
on Friday, Contractor P. .1. Kelley,
commenced tlie erection of the bridge
which is to connect the two ends of
the grade and make the South Fort
George section a part of the greater
Cily of the (leorges. Already it
is quite apparent that this opening
and conneoting link between the two
sections was all that was required
to make the community of interest
complete.
This will likewise complete the
splendid boulevard running from
the Steamboat Landing in South
Fort (leorge, through Fourth Street,
Queen Street, (leorge Street, Third
Avenue, .Melville and Winchester
Stivets, to Central Fort (leorge the
western end of the City.
ll is expected that Mr. Kelley will
complete the bridge in about three
weeks. The piling is already on the
ground and the erection and putting
into service of the pile driver will
tuke hut a day or two. The piling
will be completed in eight or ten
days, and the decking, sidewalks,
and approaches will he laid, ltis
expected that the bridge will be
ready for use by the fifteenth of
December, before the hard stormy
weather that usually sets in about
Christmas or New Year is on us.
Hence our people can look forward
to a straight and pleasant communicating Avenue between the various
towns especially Iietween Soutli town
and George Street, hy only a few
minutes protected walk instead of
by the exposed roundabout route via
the Hudson Bay Stores and Government buildings,

that George Street was made the

from the beginning, and present
developments confirm this claim.!
To throw dust in the eyes of j
the Commission, to try to cover j
up the true facts, an attempt [
will be made to compromise the
question to a site at Victoria
Street This is not as damaging
as the Maple Street site, but
nevertheless, in a lesser degree
it is just as bad. We will still
have the grades and a minimum
load as against a maximum loading with its attendent minimum
costs. The three or four blocks
longer haul from George Street
or Dominion Street to the western part of the townsite will be
overcome by the greater ease of
grade and lower costs of transportation, over the haul out of
the  hole at    Victoria   Street.
Again, the location of George
Street has been fixed in the
minds of the people. All the
agitation for Maple Street or
Victoria Street has not for one
moment stopped the developm .nt
of George Street. Again nature
and her facilities have conquered.
It will be shown, perhaps, that
the maps of the sale by the
Provincial Government showed
the depot at Maple Street. It
will be shown that the order of
the Railroad Commission had
been issued for that site before
the sale of the Townsite by the
Grand Trunk Pacific. And yet,
in the face of all this the prices

ous values over those at Maple
or Victoria Streets. The buyers
had been on the ground, they
had inspected before going to
the sale, and business judgment
pointed to George Street as the
place where the Town would
start. And results have proven
their judgment right. And even
former opponents are joining in
the movement to that centre.
Had these people made the same
decision in the beginning, they
would have been fighting for
George Street long ago.
It was believed by many who
bought in the George Street
centre that despite the order of
the Commission, placing the depot at Maple Street, that would
not be the final location. They
believed the day would :ome
when the Commission would reopen the question and rescind its
previous order.
The whole question was out
of order at the time the order
for the Maple Street site was
secured. The dispute started
in an effort to use the Commission in real estate booming.
This has proved costly and has
seriously delayed the town wliich
while rapid and well defined,
would nevertheless have been
even greater had there been no
question of the location,
The Railroad Commission was
forced to a decision that has not
been just to them or to the people, and the fair name of a public tribunal has been sullied by
private interest wrestling for advantage, while those who make
the town and country, the hardy
pioneers of trade, commerce and
industry have been ignored, The
day of justice, however, always
comes to them that can wait,
(Continued on Page 4.)
That the question of where the
Grand Trunk Pacific Station shall
be is a subject of interest to the
people of I'rince (leorge, was demonstrated in no uncertain manner by
lhe large turnout at the Mass Meeting held last evening in Ritts Kifer
Hall, on George Street,
Tbey gathered early and in numbers and when the time lo cal] the
meeting arrived, were anxious lo do
the work they came to perform,
Determination and a set purpose
was depicted iu the demeanor of
every man present.
Speakers were welcomed with enthusiastic hand-clappingand demonstrations of approval so that when
the vote was called for ami resulted
in only two dissenters lo ihe station

there was no surprise at the result.
The resolution adopted called for
a committee of noi  less than three

worthy of the name. A few scattered houses and businesses that were
forced elsewhere in the attempt to
start a .stampede for a western location for the depot. This has not
succeeded, but has on the contrary
proved a dismal failure, and those
who started it have only themselves
to blame. They might plead they
had the Commissions ruling to go
by, but for all that so did those who
settled and improved the George
Street section. The greater and
most expensive investments are in
that .section, and compared to the
investments in other parts of the
townsite as a thousand to one
is therefore inconceivable that afl
all that has been done by the inves
ors and business men to develop
George Street section, the Commission could possibly listen to the
claims of the real estate interests

any  other portion  of the city and
business men of  lhe  city,   lo meet j have failed in so doing.

A general canvass lias been taken
of the town, and it has been found
that there are 1,,S72 permanent population on the townsite. This includes Vil at the Cache. A further
indication is lo the effect Unit the
general attitude is in favor of the
George Street Site. The people feel
that development at this time is ami

supportable misfortune and hardship. It was thoroughly demonstrated that there is no development

It was demonstrated at last night's
meeting that tbey are the only ones
who are now holding out against the
common and almost unanimous decision of the public al large for a

Business as Usual.
A short time ago we had the
announcement that an advance
to the Pacific Great Eastern to
the amount of $6,000,000 had
been arranged. Then came the
announcement that the Grand
Trunk was prepared to expend
$300,000 on its terminal and station grounds in this province,
and had let the contracts. Now
we have the announcement that
$15,000,000 have been paid over
by the underwriters of the Canadian Northern bond issue, Considering that this a time of war,
news of this kind is certainly
very refreshing.
Thc news from business circles
generally is very optimistic, not
only in Canada but alio in the
United States. There are many
persons who believe that in the
last named country times have
been much better recently than
in Canada, but such is not the
case. A reputable magazine
published in that country has
made an appeal to ladies to
purchase everything they can
from home producers, giving as
a reason that probably more than
2,()0o,000 men will be out of
employment this winter. If
this is not an exaggeration, a
very serious state of things has
arisen, The British Government
is doing all in its power to help
out the situation in the United
States. It has taken steps that
will lead to the early reopening
of the Stock Exchanse without
any serious dislocation in prices.
It is affording facilities for the
export of cotton and grain, and
easing up the financial situation
in every way possible. These
things give us some little idea of
the wonderful place Great Britain occupies in the world. Engaged in a war of unprecedented
magnitude, she is yet able to
support the business life of a
great country like the United
States. Nothing like thia ever
happened before.

London. — London has heard
and seen so much of the Belgian
refugee that the general opinion
here is that all the Belgians making a forced stay in this country
are poverty-striken. Nothing is
further from the truth. The
majority of our visitors are indeed poor, many have lost all
their posessions, but not a few
are extremely wealthy. Dining
the last week arrangements have
been very much advanced for
the establishment of a Belgian
yarn factory in Quebec. A group
of Belgian manufacturers whose
factories have been destroyed,
have been in communication
with Colonel Pelletier, agent-
general for Quebec, with this
object. They propose to take
1,400 of their compatriots with
them and give assurances that
they will be fully occupied. The
negotiations have proceeded in a
very thorough manner. The locality selected is between Quebec
and Three Rivers and the factory
is one which has been occupied
by a firm which has gone into
Quebec. There are a large number of cottages available and it
meets the requirements of the
Belgian manufacturers from every important point of view.
Though the arrangements are
not completed there is every
reason to believe that the Province of Quebec will secure this
important undertaking.
This is not the only proposition of this nature by any means.
Almost every agent-general and
representative of the provinces is
in negotiation with prospective
Belgian investors of one sort or
another. Some are looking forward to re-establishing their
factories in Canada, others who
have been land owners require
large tracts of land and improved farms; a still larger number
want to invest the money which
they secured when they sold
their places in Belgium. The
majority of these people cannot
find what they want in England
and they desire if possible to invest under the British flag;
therefore Canada is receiving a
great deal of attention just now.

Too Late to Save Fifth Son
In her house of general mourn- j
ing, Germany has scarcely one '■
home untouched by war, A story i
of gripping pathos is related of |
a family named von Konig, the
father of which is a retired Colonel,
At the outbreak of the war he
had three sons in the army. Immediately two younger sons joined the colors, in thejfirst advance into France three sons
were killed, and a fourth was
shot on the East Prussian frontier. The mother is little better
than insane, and the father, a
stern old Spartan, at last could
stand it no longer, He obtained
an audience with the Kaiser and
told his story, praying that the
last of the five might be spared.
The Kaiser was much moved
by the story and ordered a message sent to the division to which
the young man was attached,
directing that he be sent to interior duty, away from the front.
The old man, deeply touched,
sought to thank the Emporer.
"No", said the Kaiser, "it is
I and vour country who must
thank you for the terrible sacrifice you have made. You have
done nobly, but at a great price."
The Colonel then went to the
place where his boy was stationed. He was met by the commanding general, and asked if
the Kaiser's command had been
received.
"Yes," said the general, "I
received the command, but before I could transmit thc order,
the boy received another command. He was killed ten minutes before the message arrived." i

Although there arc approximately
l,o00,000 men in training in the
United Kingdom, Earl Kitchener,
backed by the press, is asking for
more men. They believe that another million will be required if the
war is not to drag along over a term
of years. The additional men, antl
in fact a considerable part of the
gigantic army now under training,
are nol required for the campaign
in France and Belgium, but for the
invasion of Germany after the Germans have been driven from these
countries. Tbey anticipate that
the hardest struggle will take place
when .the lighting is earried to the
Rhine, and from the strictly military standpoint this is altogether
probable; but in a war of nations
such as the present conflict there
are factors other than those immediately related to the army and navy.
Economic ami political forces, in
fact every, phase of the various nations' lives, are also playing important parts, and it is possible for
Germany to bo beaten and brought
to terms before her soldiers have
been driven to the Rhine.
It is very remarkable when we
realize that the arrival of the
first Canadian Contingent was
the first landing of fighting
troops from beyond the seas on
the British Isles since the Norman Conquest in 1066, over 800
years ago. In a recent issue of
The Edinburgh Scotsmas appears
the following comment on this
interesting point: "By the historians of the momentous era in
which we are now living, the
landing on our shores of a large
body of Canadian troops to take
part in a great European war
will be noted as a landmark in
the progress of the British Empire, They are a magnificent
proof of the loyalty and patriotism of the people of the Dominion, a tribute of faithful attachment to the cause of the Mother
Country, which is more precious
and welcome for being offered
voluntarily and in the hour of
need."

WATER   NOTICE
(Diversion and Use)
Czar's Army Gaining Ground
Indications are that Russia has
won its campaign to overcome
the effects of the vigorous advance of the Teutons during the
last month. At the beginning of
the war the Czar's troops overran East Prussia and took po-
session of nearJy all Galicia.
Then the Austrians, reinforced
by immense numbers of German
troops beat back the Russians so
rapidly that it seemed as though
all Poland would be conquered.
But the tide turned and Russia
seems to have recovered most of
its lost ground and put her antagonists on the defensive. The
see-saw of victory and defeat
probably will rise and fall many
times before the war is decided;
but the Allies will win.
TAKE NOTICE that Norman
McMillan, whose address is Prince
(Jeorge, B. C, will apply for a
licence to take arid use six inches of
water out of a sprin_ on Lot 1070,

British Army 1,500,000
The British army, according to
semi-official estimates, numbers
1,500,000 men, most of them
equipped and drilled. Few of
these have reached the front,
Lord Kitchener's apparent plan
being to hold them as a powerful
reserve for the spring fighting
when the German armies will
have been decimated by wounds
and diseases and the allies will
have suffered a like loss. Efficient reenforcements at that time
would seem likely to sweep all
before them.

It is a peculiar thing in the affairs of
men that the right seldom lights for its
own. It feels so strong in its position

thin
Turkey can do i

rassment for the al

ei
enemy does to conquer. So it is in
this matter of the site of the Grand
Trunk depot; it has not been properly
represented at any of the previous
hearings, while the opposition has
worked day and night, hired expensive
talant, spent its money lavishly to
force its issue. But now the people
must have their say. Not a few selected interests but the welfare or all the
city itself.
We are informed that those in favor
of the site at Victoria Street have gone
to the   lengths   of  giving   promises
from some of the smaller business men
on George Street to  move their  buildings lo  lhe viciniiy of Victoria and
Third Street without cost,   should the
Commission  be    prevailed    upon   to
change  Ibe   site to   Victoria   Street.
Such tactics as this, if true, nre not an |
honorable  method of  presentment be-,
fore  the  commijsion  and  but   shows j
what we have to meet in this  matter
of public welfare.
lt will be sought  to  be proven  that
George Street cannot be sewered or
drained; that it is liable to Hood,   and
j all tbe dire consequences of such things
will be a detriment to the station site
, at  George Street.   But  the development of George Street  is a  fact,   incontrovertible and actual and must be
drained,    lt will be.   Our friends need
not worry about that.   Cellars eight
1 feet  deep are   now   in existence on
Geroge Street, and were there during
the high water of last spring; but not
a drop of water was even on the floor.
; But what has the draining of George
_^^^__^^^__     Street to do with  the Station site?   It

Sunshine Club's Bazaar and Dance
a Magnificent Success
South Fort (leorge always rise-i to
its best on public occasions and the
affair of the Sunshine Club's Sale of
Articles and Dance, for the benefit
of distressed worthy persons in our
midst during the coining winter
months, held in the Fort (leorge
Theatre, on the afternoon and evening of Thursday, November 19th,
wns no exception. The occasion
was a splendid success and tlie Indies
surely are to lie congratulated.
Nearly $315.00 was taken in,,and
after all expenses are paid their
treasury will reap a net profit of
approximately $275.00
But over and above the success of
the lienefit and the good they have
done in providing this fund for the
purposes named, they gave also a
splendid exhibition of the kindliness
and good feeling existing among our
people. It was an occasion of gelling
together of social intercourse and
the arrangements ami decorations,
the music and dancing, the teas and
refreshments, added to an already
apparent spirit of good.feeling that
was wholesome and inspiring.
The afternoon sale was attended
by many of the town as well as visitors from Fort Oeorge and Prince
Oeorge. No occasion would I ie complete in either of the three towns
that was not patronized by the others
and Thursday's entertainment and
henefit was no exception to the rule.
The Automobile men joined heartily in the celebration and to them
is due much of the success attained.
In no country, town or section is
there a cleaner, finer set of men engaged in the pursuit of a livelihood
than we have in the three (leorges
in the carrying of our people to and
from each town in our Autos. The
members of the Sunshine Club particularly desire to thank the members of the auto, fraternity for their
timely and efficient help.
In the various prize circles the
successful winners were
Mr. Lang, of the Hudson Hav Co.
A Doll.
Mrs. I). F. M. Perkins -A Doll.
Mr. I.oekhart - Turkey.
Mr. Neil Oetliing- Sofa Pillow.
The centre of interest however,
was the guessing of the weight of
the live goose. The contest was
quite spirited, and the success of
Father Rivet in guessing its weight
at VIlbs. 2ok. was a satisfactory
solution of the guessing. It is not
reported at the time of going to press
whether the Father intends to start
a goose farm or not, but he seemed
to have inclinations that way last
night as he was quite anxioqs that
it be fed with the cake that went to
Mr, McGregor (the McGregor he is
said to have been, although he upset
all preconceived notion of a Scotchman by paying 810,(X) for a mere
cake.) The auctioning of the cuke
in which Mr. McGregor was {he
successful bidder, created some
diversion, and on being.presented
with his purchase by Mr. Boehner,
the auctioneer, made a graceful
little speech of compliment to the
Indies of the club.
The Refreshments were served by
the ladies to nearly 200 people at.
midnight, and were enjoyed by all,
Dancing continued to an early hour
the guests dispersing to their homes
satisfied with a very successful and
enjoyable occasion.
