WEEKLY EDITION VOL. 6, NO. 12, SUUTH FORI GEORGE, B. C.. SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 21st, 1914. $3 PER ANNUM 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, The Business Men and Chamber of Commerce of South Fort George Take Action on Station Site.

Ways and means were discussed and adopted for the presentation of the matter to the Railroad Commission at its hearing on Monday, the 23rd of November. The following resolution was adopted and ordered to be presented to the Commission, " Be it resolved by the Chamber of Commerce and Business .Men of Soutli Fort George, in meeting, Thursday afternoon, November 19th tlmt the Railway Commission he petitioned in the interest of the people and business of South Fort George and surrounding sections to so far rescind their order number l'.KSIT, of May 14th, KU:!, us to instruct llie Grand Trunk Pacific Bail- way Co. to erect their Station and Terminals at the foot of (leorge Street, Prince (leorge, and that their previous order placing the station at niile 466.3 (approximately (leorge Street) he made of full force and record.

Nature is against it! 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.

Mass Meeting in Favor of George Street Site. 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.

The resolution adopted called for a committee of noi less than three I nor more than live of the prominent 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 who speculated and tried lo boost any other portion of the city and business men of lhe city, lo meet j have failed in so doing. tlic Commission and present to them the withes of the people, that they shall order the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway to place their station and terminals at the foot of George Street. 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 has been, and points in the future to the George Street centre and to again disturb existing conditions and begin all over again would beanun- supportable misfortune and hardship. It was thoroughly demonstrated that there is no development anywhere else ou the townsite 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 site at George Street. In fact it now partakes of a dog in the manger stubborness not to give in.

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.

I its third phase. 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.

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.

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."

General French, commander- in-chief of the forces in the field, has expressed himself as greatly pleased with the bearing of these troops and has sent the following message to the Indian corps commander: "Please congratulate your gallant Indian troops on their gallant conduct and express my gratitude to them."

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.

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.

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?

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.
