ORT GEOR HERALD Vol, I. No. 32. Jaune Cache Reported Sold SOUTH FORT GEORGE, B.C., MARCH 18, 1911. $3 per Annum. Tel iln' is reported here that the Natural Resources Security Co. have purchased the nunc Cache land for townsite purposes. This land lies around the mouth of .Lennan river and extends south to Cranberry Lake. It is owned by a Kam loops syndicate, and is registered in the name of J. R. Hull, of that town. Other members of the syndicate are R. F. Green, J. Fulton, G. B. Nagle and J. D. Ma- lone, lhe property, consisting of 3400 acres, was offered last summer for a price stated to be $120,000. Ihe late John Houston once held a tenth interest in this syndicate, which he disposed of for $1000.

At Fort r 11.,- Praser river turns to the from a genera] direction of and west, which it pursues for three hundred odd miles be- thi. point and the Cache. For iniiis northeast of Fort George, and twelve miles north of the Fraser, the southern extremity of the Peace river division is reached. This territory comprises a greater acreage than is contained in both the other divisions of the district, and is next in size to Cassiar, in the divisions of the province. The headwaters of the Peace are found at the junction of the Parsnip and the Finhiy rivers, which converge and form the Peace at the intersection of the 5Cth and 124th parallels. Until a very recent period the Peace river country was a vague territory "somewhere up north," in the eyes of the public, and even the most speculative colonization companies would have turned down proposals to operate in that section of the province. A new order of things is fast coming into existence, with respect to the development of this marvellously rich territory, and in Vancouver alone colonization concerns are now applying to the government for enormous blocks of land in the Peace river division. A representative of The Herald was informed by one of these companies that they were taking up a million acres alone. There is a reserve in this country covering the river for twenty miles on each side, and continuing south down the Parsnip to Fort Oeorge. Hesidcs this provincial reserve is the Dominion government block of two million five hundred thousand acres. This reserve appears about the size of a postage stamp on maps of the province, scaling 20 miles to the inch, and gives some idea of the tremendous area of the Peace river division of Cariboo. In a report by Mr. F, C. Campbell, Provincial Government Agent, stationed at Fort Bt. John, in the Peace River division of the Cariboo disti'ict in 190!), he refers to the general character of the country as follows. The report of Mr. James Pettry, who is well known in this district, is also interesting proof of the undoubted fertility of the region. Mr. Pettry reached Fort George from an extended trip into the Peace River last November. Mr. Pcttry's report deals more especially with the Halfway river valley lands, a stream which (lows into the Peace near Hudson's Hope. Part of Mr. Pettry's report reads as follows: "The Peace river country," says Mr. Pettry, "has been too long and too favorably known Ior me to add very much in this report. All our well known geologists and government specialists have the same impression, namely, that it is determined to be the last great granary of the Canadian northwest — in fact, it is the last Great West. The writer was in this country (the Halfway River) in the months of August, .September and October of the present year, and has seen in the Hudson Bay Go's., garden at Hudson's Hope and Fort John as fine vegetables as are grown in any section, consisting of potatoes, peas, cabbage, green corn, onions and ripe tomatoes, and all other small vegetables. The manager of the Hudson's Bay Co.'s post told me that this piece of land has raised the same kind of vegetables for the last 22 years and has never been a failure, or had a pound of fertilizer on it. The Hudson's Bay Co. have raised here as line oats as have ever been raised in any country. The winters in this country are not long and severe, as many people seem to think, who have never been in this country. This, I think, is due to the fact that the chinook winds which come through the valley have a more powerful effect on the immediate country than they do on the wider prairie. Horses range out in this country all winter and come out in the finest condition. The Indians in the Findlay river country bring their horses down here on the Halfway river to winter them on the grass a river to winter them, as the grass is better and the winters shorter and considerably warmer. The soil in this country is like most all other prairie country, being of a heavy black vegetable mold or loam, with a clay subsoil underlaid with sand, stone and coal. I think this country has the greatest future as a coal producing country of any country in Canada or the United States, for that matter. Thirty-six sections of coal have been located in the vicinity of Hudson's Hope, and the report is that it is of the finest quality. From what I have seen I think this is the greatest cattle section in the country, and when the timber is cleared, which is very light, and all it needs is a few fires through it, then it is ready for the A Romance of the Fur Trade The history of a lady's fur coat is, il one thinks of it, full of strange i constrasts, A wi!J creature of tbe ' Canadian ["rests, a silent Indinu trapper and his wife, a lone Hudson's liny company trader, the half- breed paddlers of a "north" canoe, the hand, of the Hudson's Bay boat in the ice Hoes oil Ungava, the cm- j Ji.ojees i'f a liritish railway company, thi' operatives of a London I lurrier - nil these mny have played part in the making of a coat before it mi. j,- |,cnr in the windows of i shop in Hoi d street or on the back I of some p, id lady of St. James', 1 writes li.

Other trades have heen revolutionized by nineteenth century science; it has remained, al- Imost alune, primitive in its meth- lods. Since the fay when "The Honor- awe Company nf Adventurers trad- ling into Hudson's Bay" was founded >>' Prince Rupert it has hardly altered nt all. [n unimportant details it mny have changed, perhaps.

The life ol the hush is a closed book to most people. A great, deal has been written about the life of tho wild animals that furnish the fur, but very little has been written about the life of the traders and the trappers who collect it, though the latter is a subject full of the most romantic interest. The life of the bush often appears on tho surface ono of hitter trial and hardship. The Indian trapper often goes through trials nnd hardships that would crush another man. He goes off in the autumn to his winter's hunting grounds with a single small canoe; he sleeps all winter in a bark tepee or in a canvas tent, when he does not roll up in his rabbit-skin in the snow; he travels through the bush when the mercury is frozen in the glass, snowshoeing with his pack upon his back and his rifle on his arm, through windfall and through tangled swamp, and, worst of all, through perilous burnt bush, where a wilderness of charred poles sway in the wind like the masts of countless ships. Comfort is a thing he knows not. He lives on pork and beans, and Hour and tea. I lis clothes he never change!., night or day. His only remedy for all the ills that flesh is heir to is a drink of .burning painkiller. He lives and dies in debt, and would not become solvent if he could. A good winter may bring him in WOO; a had winter $50. On the whole, his life is that of Hobbes' natural man, "nasty, poor, mean, briittish and short." But, on the other hand, he is quite content. He does not feel the need of comfort or a balance in the bank; and lie has a stoical and philosophic calm that enables him to take with equal mind whatever the gods may send. He may always get, ' o argues, credit with the traders. Wny, then, should he take thought of the morrow — what he should eat or what he should put on? Tbe trader's lot seems even harder, because he has, as a rule, known better things. The Hudson's Bay traders are, with a curious unanimity, sons of the "land of wild heath and shaggy wood." I have heard one of them recite with no small amount of feeling: "From the dim shieling of the misty island, Mountains divide us, and a world of seas; But still our hearts are true, our hearts are Highland, And we in dreams behold the Hebrides." This trader was a Scot who had come out to Hudson Bay when a young man, and had married an Algonquin wife, of whom he had a family of little Indians who lisped in broken Scotch when they condescended to speak English at all. He lived at his trading post from January to January, receiving letters from the outside world once or twice a year, and seeing white men hardly oftcner. Another of the verses he frequently repeated was: "O, solitude, where are the charms That sages have seen in thy face? Better dwell in the midst of alarms Than live in this horrible place," The Passing of the Fur Lands jMagazii ■titled ' ■ • i on- of "Everybody's appears an article cn- '' Bottlers' Fight for the I, • This article portrays I » American conception of the Peace I l!"v' The author, Robert :t,|l In the case of nuth- I,,,,' ' ' "f territory never ex- "J mortal man other (.ban 11111 ' "' the Hudson's Bay M;i,|"<t trading company ' w"hl tti|l ever know, criticizes I the m ""ilmiiy severed y. , , '" reason that when n |*ca.t.c eh " «» H.

This journey in tho time Ol high water has taken as long as nineteen days to accomplish. The magnificlent steamboats which have replaced the transportation of five years ago, now cover this route in two days. In those days the Indians here loft the reservation practically deserted during the winter months, and hied them to their bunting grounds, returning In the,spring with the fur catch, to pay oil' their debt to the "i'iunpv!iy"t Now they are a dissolute band of huulcis that were. They are no longor a source of revenue to the Hudson Hay people or to any one else. Mr Dunn refers to his experiences in the ivr.ee River country In part.as follows. ,, , . ,, ,„ "Last summer l travelled eighteen hundred miles upon the arctic slope of North America. 1" the Grand note] at Athabasca Landing, a hundred miles North ol the railroad, a half- breed girl waited on us In a P«nc0(" gown, while a woman who m gut have I n her mother was holing whiteflsh iii a tepee outside- and in Ithe animal ,rtn,01'od the '"■' from Isiv'ii- in ,"' "' H"r'1' ll territory, ithe ln(," ex*ange trade goods to |tn Wolcotno tl '"" ""'' '"' ''xpertrd littler „', ,,' auver,t of the white _Mlon iv , ,ulva"|,e of a oivil- I0'Us v., i,', ,s."ln,lH th0 death knell I ['We yeaj- ""', tran0' |i|r'"'|iiivc "!."'"

Aboard the I.nke, we rend a notice: "Prospectors and others Intondlng to proceed to the Mackenzie River district are warned against undertaking the journey unless provided with food and necessaries sufficient to last one year"; and we read it under electric lights. At. the settlement of Grouard on the Lesser Slave, the white wife of a fur trader gave us a dance. We went in white shirts and drank a punch made of rum nnd strychnine". Dwelling mi the fact that the Hud- sonjs Hay Co., factors in the Peace Rivor do not eneourago settlers, the author refers to these traders in scathing paragraphs. "And into the peace, ho writes, because it has been proved fit for agricultural purposes, ciiines the settler, the pioneer. The Company deals with him, a white man, exactly as it has always dealt with its mongrel hunters and with its rivals in trade. Ignorant of its history, of its traditions of having for generations ruled an abject people and controlled all routes of transportation, the settler must bear the brunt of its lloiirbonism, whoso inhumanity he cannot understand. Again he soliloquises on the mental picture conjured up by the "company's" name; "I have often wondered what sort of an image rises up in most men's minds to-day at the words "Hudson's Hay Company." Likely it is of nn Indian clad In beads and furs, plow, and will be just as good a wheat country as Alberta or any of the prairie countries. The Hudson's Bay Co. have a flour mill at Fort Vermillion, on the Peace river. They pay .$1.50 per bushel at present for all the wheat raised in that vicinity. During the coming summer the first real influx of settlers into the Peace River valley will commence. Edmonton is organizing in an effort to gather unto herself the Peace River trade. Fort George has by far the best route to offer, if it were properly opened up. For people desiring to see the Peace River country, travelling light without freight, Fort George offers the only feasible route. Leaving Ashcroft one may reach Fort George in three days. — (during the season of open navigation) — Giscombe Portage can be reached and crossed from this point in one day more, and embarking in a canoe at Summit Lake, which is the southern extremity of the Arctic watershed in British Columbia, the trip to Edmonton may be completed in twenty-five days with ease by a downstream route. A small steamboat could run from McLeod Lake to Hudson's Hope, and a wagon road from Giscombe Portage to Fort McLeod, a distance of about fifty miles, would establish for Fort George the trade of the greatest undeveloped area of the province, until the advent of railroads from this point into the Peace. It would be well for the board of trade here to take Into serious consideration the investigation of this matter. And yet he himself was the first to confess that anyone who had tasted the life of the bush could not go back to another. "Once a Hudson's Bay man," be said, "always a Hudson's Bay man." There is a fatal fascination ubout the free life of the forest that holds a man captive. Such a one has heard the call of the wild. To ply the paddle, to shoot the wild duck, to hit the trail across the virgin bush, to sleep beneath the stars, to breathe the scent of cedar or of pine — these things are life to him whose blood has caught the fever. The labors of the traders are not arduous. They have to sell the trappers their outfits in the autumn, and they barter for thc peltries in the spring. They have to sort the peltries that they buy, and transport them by canoe or dog-train to the nearest railway line or steamboat wharf; and there their duties end. The only time when they have cause for worry is when they have to meet with opposition. Then they have to fight for very life. When the Northwest company set up against the Hudson's Bay men in the beginning of last century, there was a bitter fight, in which trading posts were burned and men were kidnapped, and often blood was spilt. The mothods of warfare now adopted are those of commercial aggression, and they are directed mainly against what are called "free traders" — free lances who set up beside the Hudson's Bay company posts and try to win the company's Indians over. Many a thrilling tale might be told of the bitter commercial tights between the "great company" and the lonely free traders in the heart of the forest primeval. One such fight took place a few years ago at what, for caution's sake, may be called Ghost river. A low, illiterate Dutchman set nii in opposition to the Hudson's Bay .ompany post, and made a bid for the fur trade of the district. He cut rates and made loans, and dispensed whisky, and married a chief's daughter, with the acumen of an up- to-date American trying to break a ring. And, though he did not manage to make good his footing, be gave the factor at the post a most uncomfortable time, and made that easy-going man bestir himself in earnest. The story of that fight enacted against the background of the wild primeval bush, is only typical of what is going on here and there all over northern Canada. Such is the life of the traders and trappers. The rest of the story of the fur is simply and easily told. Early in June, when the pelts have been gathered and sorted and cured, the great six-fathom canoes are brought down to the water and loaded with their precious freight. 'Ihe "packers" (as the Indiana are called) step in and man thwarts. The pro- ression of canoes streams out across the lake. With gaudy handkerchiefs the Indian village waves a last farewell, and the fur brigade disappears around tho bend. The furs are shipped to Hudson bay on to the Hudson's Bay Company's steamer, which makes an »n- nual passage through the ice floes of the northern channels to the far-off shores of England. And when the furs reach England, in the workshops of the furrier, they are made into all kinds of furry garments to keep warm a sheltered race. setting traps by a lonely lake, or driving a team of wolf dogs across a thousand miles of snow; or of a dour Scotchman inside the stockade of a log fort, holding a flintlock upright on the ground as abject feathered Dog-ribs trade for it by piling beaver skins up to its muzzle, that titled stockholders in London may be enriched. And such a sketch is true enough except that since the French bucaneor RadtBson (who never got his due from history) flattered Charles II of England into giving Prince Rupert, Ihb first cousin, the Company's charter in 1(570, wool shirts have replaced rawhide, felt bats have rather shamed feather headgear, and the price of guns and ammunition has dropped; for the Company has always been master of the North's history. Mr. Dunn gives tho company no credit nt nil for their century in tbe wilderness. Ho finds in the trading concern's operations only material for vituperation. At Fort Vermillion, on the Peace, the company and the settler clash acutely, he says. There, on the one side, is thc ono perfect, longest-lived example of business absolutism over men's lives; on the other, a band of a dozen settlers bearing the burden of generations of future while men, nnd in latitude 58 degrees DO minutes. So far they have been always worsted, and their feel nigs run high. Referring to a conversation with the Factor of Fort Vermillion, he begrudglngly gives the "company's" view. "Think of the risk we take,says the factor, in bringing stuff into a country like this—kerosene evaporates, sugar gets wet. If it wasn't for the credit tbe Company gives these fellows, they'd never have got a start at all. And I have to make the post pay. It costs $5,000 a year to run it nnd Inst year it was ordered closed, and I shouldn't have been here now if the price of muskrats hadn't, risen." The Hudson Bay Company transports goods to their posts in regions such ns the Peace River, solely for the purpose of getting fur in exchange. They make a profit on the fur, as well as on thc goods. If they woro to settle their prices for cash sales, at prices which would take into consideration the profits made hy thc fur acquired by their goods, under a tariff, the prices would he prohibitive, therefore ,until thc last ditch has been fought, their prim- ative transportation methods revolutionized and the oncoming rush of home seekers alienate their lands they will naturally struggle to keep their supremacy over tho fur lands, in spite of tbe vanguard of civilization which year after year drives the fur bearing frontier further towards the Arctic. ! I FORI GEORGE HERAL PUBLISHED BY IHE NORTHERN INTERIOR PRiNTiNG GO. J, 13. DAN1-LL. PR__1D_NT Devoted to the interests of Fort George and the entire .Willlinn Interior. J. B. DANIELL, Editor, MARCH 18, 1911. When the Fori George Herald commenced publication last August, we definitely decided i i a policy of exposure towards any corporations operating on the future nf thi i plai o i nd districl upon llm i which we i ■ n sidered detrimental Lo the ultimate development of this strategic point. from its pioneer slate to a place among the cities of Western Canada. This policy we consistently lived np to, and for twenty live issues of this paper we attacked the townsites on the Nechaco river here, as the manner in which these properties have been promoted in the past was not In accordance with what we consider to be In tho public interest i, We have no wish to retard development in any form, but we wish to counteract the effect of advertised statements which place before the public on the1 outside impressions of the situation which are entirely at variance with the existing conditions. Last year the situation needed our publicity to a marked degree, as influences were at work in the railroad country to the south, which prevented hundreds of people from visiting this point. Added to this was a demoralized transportation service in the early part of tbe season, when it was most urgently needed, and it is apparent that although Fort George was attracting an enormous amount of attention throughout the United States and Canada, very little information was forthcoming from independent sources, and the public we.e putting their money blindly into any property which was represented in sufficiently large type bodies, through the advertising pages ol the daily papers, bearing the name of the Old Hudson's Bay post, round which tbey realize a city will ri.-:e, as others have risen at the pests of this great pioneer trading corr.pa:.y in many precedents. During the period that we devoted our attention towards these promotions, which operations were menacing the properties here, we stirred up an opposing element, which found strength in the services of some of our coast contemporaries. This led to a fierce newspaper controversy which attracted a large amount of attention nnd resulted in bringing upon Fort George at large an undesirable trend of public opinion which, created by doubt ns to the bona fides of the respective town- sites, was leading towards an unhealthy impression of the whole proposition. Although the situation hero remains but slightly altered, the purchase of the Indian reserve by the G. T. P. has removed the iast vestige of doubt regarding the intentions of the railroad company towards this place and the public realizing that tho development o! tl,is point, no longer depends upon townsite companies' operations alone, but is endorsed by the Grand Trunk railway. Under these circumstances we base discontinued our campaign against oilier properties, as we do not wish to continue in any policy which will retard the Infill- ol | pie exp.i led Inn' this Btiiunicr. The transportation problem is in the hands ol capable and experienced companies, and since the future of South Fort George is long past tbe problematical stage, we can afford to rely upon the judgment of the people themselves when they arrive on tbe ground, and knowing the situation The Herald will content itself with advocating thc personal Investigation of Intending investors ill property ai: this point. Our campaign has bud the effect of producing the moderation of statements in advertising campaigns, which has heen tbe desired result from the first, and therofore wo lay aside the vitriolic pen with a sign of sonic satisfaction. COT PEEVISH. The Quesnel board of trade is very peevish with the Herald because in a recent issue ot tins paper we referred to certain lands in their district as "twenty-fouth class lands." The hoard writes that, "you know as well as we do that some of the best land of the northern interior is around Quesnel." We have always been aware of this fact, and in the very lirst issue of this paper we defended tbe Quesnel lands generally from a newspaper attack against them. In the Quesnel district, however, there has been much indiscriminate staking. Thc block we had reference to is an example. However, we understand that the worst of this land lias hem culled out by thc principals who en hardly he held responsible for the work of agents who get so much per acre [or staking. As Investigation has shown us that lhe lot tor we received was forwarded ai tlic request of the company who '. ere pun haslng i he block of land, .,,• caunol sec our way to relpact the i.is! ie niii siiv printed, In \lew of ; i c lari thai Informal Ion was sup plied lo us last summer hy Lhe Quesnel hoard of trade, showing tbat I hey had refused lo supply these very land operators villi a communication which was probably required for advertising purposes. Northern British Columbia, through one of the passes in the northern Rockies, lt is also saii_ that the (.rent Northern Railway will have a line built across Canada in a shorter time than most people think, as Kill now practically has the rond in operation from the coast to the Rockies and numerous connections in the three prnirie provinces. "Till': TIME HAS COME, THE WALRUS SAID." The scare head is familiar to irrd- ers of "Alice in Wonderland1'', and is therefore doubly appropriate. Soutli Fort George is the Wonderland in this instance and the citizens arc eust for the Alice role. Ever since Premier McRride's visit in August of last year, the people of this city have been doir.g some tall wondering regarding the location of the government agent's offices. The controversy regarding this hone of contention will be well remembered by Herald readers, and we find it a regrettable fact that in spite of the influences and claims of the warring elements; in spite of the Goveruental promises; and yet again in spite of the veneer of printer's ink which has overlaid the whole nffair, the public are still left to wonder on as to whether the semi-ready contract for these buildings will be let this year or not. The Herald interviewed Frcmier McBride in Victoria immediately proceeding the opening of the late Legislative session, We were assured that a decision would be arrived at early [n the parlimcntary proceedings ns the matter, —so 'twas said— rested largely in tbe hands of our members. Vet, though the Provincial Parliament has risen for the year, South Fort George is left in prccicely the same state of wonderment towards this all important matter, which is the result of our Government office fiasco, nineteen hundred and ten. The time has certainly arrived for the settlement of this matter, and it should receive the immediate attention of the Govornmant. Both cur members have laid their views before thc Provincial Executive and the de- cision now apparency rest." •■• 11 i.y with the ministers in Victoria. If the matter is allowed to meander along as it has in the past any benefit which would accrue to this district through the establishment of this office will be greatly diminished, as the first rush of the expected influx of settlers will ie obliged to transact their business with the Crown through the medium of a Government Agent stationed at Barkerville,—many miles away, i ■ the mountains of old Cariboo. On the subject of location the views of thc Herald coincide with thc wishes of tbe public. They are uncompromisingly definite, and in advocating their location in South Fort George we justify ur opinion by pointing out the fact that our choice of location is not only the residential and business centre of the district, hut of the entire Northern Interior, ami although the buildings for use in the immediate future are understood to be but temporary structures, pending their location on G.T.P. townsite there is no possible reason for locating them on 'my temporary sile. John \. Praser, one of our two .representatives in the Legislative Assembly is expected here shortly, and it appear.", probable that he will settle this matter whilst hero.

The principals in the deal are W. F. Cooke, John Fountain and R. Peden, of South Fort George; Oscar Engen of Saskatoon, and S. S. Taylor, of Vancouver. Danforth & Lee CONTRACTORS AND BUILDERS Plans furnished Hamilton Ave., belween 1st and 2nd BOARD OF TRADE MEETING. The monthly meeting of thc board of trade was held Tuesday evening in the Conservative hall, on Fourth street. There was a good attendance. President A. G. Hamilton was iu the cliuir. The meeting was held one day in advance of the usual day of meeting, owing to the president leaving for the coast Wednesday morning. The minutes of the previous meeting were approved. A communication was received from the Conservative association in which a rental fee of 3.2.50 per month was fixed for the use of the hall. A letter was also read from W. J. McAllan, Stuart Lake Indian agency, stating that the department of Indian affairs, acting upon the petition oi tho board, appointed Dr. Wilson, of Vancouver, physician to the Fort George Indians, and that it was unfortunate thnt he had not taken up his duties. He will not receive any subsidy from tho department until he does so. It was Impossible to say if he is in receipt of any from the provincial government but believed not. He would be pleased if the board could secure a definite otate- ment from Dr. Wilson as to whether he is going to accept the appointment or not. The department had been informed of his non-arrival at Fort George. The president of the board was instructed to interview Dr. Wilson, while in Vancouver, and ascertain his intentions in respect to the matter in controversy. The publicity committee was enlarged hy the addition of Mr. P. Campbell to the committee, which at present stands as follows: H. C. Seaman, W. F. Cooke, P. Campbell and .1. V. Shnw.
