FORT GEO ALD Vol. I. No. 31. SOUTH FORT GEORGE, B.C., MARCH 11, 1911. > per Annum. & T. P. WILL BE COMPLETED TO T .-The main line of the Grand Trunk rueilie railway will be completed to T»te J mine Cache at the head of tia- vLtion on thc Fraser river, 50 miles Zt of the Yellowhead Pass, at the summit of the Rockies early in No- :.',,,.«■ next. The rails are already l«i_ tc a point forty miles east of he summit and near the crossing of Z Athabasca river, 210 miles west _f Edmonton,"'said J. W. Stewart, managing director of Messrs. Foley, Vc]t), & Stewart, railway contrac- .,„■.• in an interview at Vancouver .'„ 'the 20th ultimo, on his return |rom tbe Yellowhead country, which hf visited on his way home from a Europe. He spent the holi- h his family in the Scottish trip i" day.: wi Highlands. "All the work from railhead wost t„ Tete .Iiuine Cache has been open- p,l mi," continued Mr. Stewart. "The irrailii.6 ri .lit up to the summit at yellowhead is virtually finished. There may be delay in bridging the Athabasca river, but with ordinary .in,(l luck the rails should be laid to the summit by the first of next June. "On this section we have about 500 ien nt work," continued Mr. Stew art, "our headquarters being located at Fitzhugh, a future divisional 25 miles east of Yellowhead Pass. Our energies are being concentrated on tbe western or British Columbia side of the slope, where we have ovei 2000 laborers distributed through the 50-mile stretch to Tete Jaune Cache. "Tbe beginning of next November should see all the work completed with a train service through from the head of navigation on the Fraser to Edmonton and Winnipeg. "The present winter has not interfered with the progress of grading operations to any serious extent. There are less than two feet of snow at the summit, but on the British Columbia side of the divide it is much deeper," be concluded. CACHE IN NOVEMBER (Prince Rupert Optimist.) From his office down there by the waterfront where the engine bells are beginning now to clang over the level crossing with the inspiring prophecy of coming traffic, General Superintendent Mehan, of the G. T. P. at Prince Rupert, has been taking a long look. What he saw is interesting. To begin with he noticed thc rapid progress Prince Rupert in making in her upbuilding. New and substantial dwellings and business premises everywhere have .met his eye. He has looked further. Prince Rupert's expansion with tho coming spring he could not well miss. Not focussing his gaze merely locally, however, Mr. Mehan has glanced across the continent. To follow that glance means something to the citizen of Prince Rupert. Right up almost to Kitselas the thread of steel now extends. Beyond is Hazelton rich with promise and part performance of big mining prosperity. And there ire fat farm lands between, fertile v_:leyn well sunned, well watered. With the coming of spring to Mr. Meh n's farseeing eye has come the picture of busy trains, one, two, it. might be even three or four a day running this very spring crowded with passengers and laden with goods and material for the extension of the line and the development of the intern-.". "There can be no doubt," says the superintendent, "that this -pring is to see a tremendous rush for the development of the mining and agricul tural interests of the interior country about Hazelton. Trains we shall certainly run, as many as may be needed to expedite the advance of settlers into these districts. I expect a great deal from the mining development of the Hazelton neighborhood, and the farming development of the Lakelse and other agricultural valleys which the line now completed has already touched. "lt has been our experience in the progress of the Grand Trunk line from the eastwards," continued Mr. Mohan, "to find that as fast as the steel is laid wo have to get trains running over the line to accommodate the i.ipouring tide of settlers with their goods and gear for home- building, their machinery and agricultural imp'ements. This experience I have no doubt will be repeated at this end of the rails, and it keeps on steadily witb the advance of the steel westwards. "By the time the steel is linked up there will be many and many a fully developed and productive farm earning well with its wheat and produce output along the line of the Grand Trunk Pacific. Development does not wait for the line to link up. It follows hard on the heels of the steel. Thc settler does not wait for a hundred miles of rails to be laid before he goes out to locate his farm. He does not wait for fifty, thirty, or even only twenty miles of steel to go down. He is there with his goods wanting transportation facilities with every five or ten mileB of completed railroad. The driving of the last spike on thc G. T. P. will find a belt of well advanced development In all branches of productive labor across the Dominion." "And when, Mr. Mehan, do you expect the last spike to be driven?" asked the newspaper man. "For that," replied thc superintendent, "I am inclined to go by what Mr. Chamberlin has said after having been over the route several times aud seeing the actual progress of the work in all its stages. He has said with confidence that the end of the year 1913 will see the line linked up, and I, knowing him, am as certain as he is that the spring of 1914 will see a well established train service along the completed Grand Trunk Transcontinental." ., million dollar hydraulic Assets of Fort George Lumber & Navi- COMPANY IN CARIBOO -_.__._i_t __. _ri_^ v_t __.■-__ l. fir" .__• -~ gation Co.

To save the immense forests of Alaska for the use of the people, the United States government will go into the timber business, according to a statement by W. A. Langille, supervisor of the Alaska national forests. Langille predicted that the development of the northern territory's timber resources, under government supervision, would mean possibly more to Alaska in a few years than mining. "Alaska contains approximately 65,000,000,000 of timber," said Langille, "and it belongs to the government. None of it is privately owned. Most of thc forests are in the southeastern part of tho territory. It is now the government's policy to go into the timber business, ..applying timber at reasonable rates for the development of the country. Much timber is being sold this I'ea", ur,t- cipally to be used in cbnaecttin vith the salmon packing plants." survey ,,,„ „,v „„„ 1, mot w.th.on the J» «J fiends, ^borrowe^a „ on Meadow, via Green lake to , : , , „ , ,, ,, ..iir„.,i ,,.. ,.,.

Colon, Panama, March 1.—Plans for the Panama canal may have to be altered to a great extent as the result of a big slide of earth and rock which today is being attacked at Culebra. Without warning, 500,- 000 cubic yards of rock and earth slipped into tiie cut. After it is removed, it is believed that it will be necessary to enlarge the prism of the canal and to remove Gold Hill bodily to prevent the recurrence of the slides. CANADA'S NATIONAL PARKS NUMBER EIGHT The Dominion government has set aside eight national parks or playgrounds in the west. The oldest is the famous one at Banff, where the C. P. R. has maintained a hotel for nearly 20 years. The others are the Yoho and Glacier, in British Columbia, Jasper and Buffalo parks on the line of the Grand Trunk Pacific, Elk Island park on the main line of the Canadian Northern east of Edmonton, Kootcnay Lakes Dark in Southern Alberta, and one, 30,000 square miles in extent, in the Moose Mountain district of Saskatchewan. Banff and Jasper parks are the largest. The newest one is the reservation, forty miles south of Pincher Creek, in Southern Alberta. It abounds in lakes and is 18 milea long and 36 miles wide. This park is continuous to the Glacier National park, just across the international boundary in Montana, lt is in the heart of a great game country. A large portion of it will be fenced in and stocked with buffalo and other large animals including elk and caribou. The animals, it is needless to say, will be well protected. This park is one of the i"ost beautiful reservation,: made by the government, embracing as it does a region of lakes, foothills and rugged mountains. It is in a region oft the main line of travel, but railway facilities are likely to be provided within a few years. It attracted over 500 campers last season. Buffalo park, on the line of the Grand Trunk Pacific, 150 miles east of Edmonton, is the home of the herd of buffalo imported by the Dominion government from Montana several years ago. The herd in the park last year numbered 800, and the number was increased last spring by 150 calves. Eighty buffalos, bought by the government, still remain at liberty in the Flathead valley of Montana. An effort will be made in April to round them up for shipment to Oanada. Their home embraces 110,000 acres which has all been fenced in, the circuit embracing 74 miles. It is also the retreat of elk, caribou, moose and antelope. Additions are constantly been made to the original herds placed there and the birth rate is also very satisfactory. Feathered game, which are also protected, abound in great numbers within the park limits. Elk Island park on tho line of the Canadian Northern, east of Edmonton, is the home of 50 head of buffalo It embraces 16 sections of land. Jasper park, in the foothills of the Rockies, on the line of the Grand Trunk Pacific, promises to be a rival of Banff, as it boasts of diversified scenery and abounds in hot springs. It embraces an area of 5400 square miles, or 3,366,000 acres. It is also on the route of the Canadian Northern. The Grand Trunk Pacific has already intimated its intention of erecting a large summer hotel in the park in tho vicinity of one of the hot springs. The hotel will be completed in time for handling tourists before the line reaches Prince Rupert. It is expected to be a rival to Banff, and will be fully exploited by the railway.

PRESIDENT Devoted to the interests of Fort George and the entire Northern Interior. J. B. DANIELL. Editor. SATURDAY FEBRUARY 11. has been superb. Sunday afternoon some 100 people indulged in the invigorating pastime to thc melodies of Senior's orchestra, stationed in the centre of the skating area. The scone was further enlivened by the appearance of the South Fort George photographer, who thought the occasion a vivid one in which to portray to posterity thc mildness of a March Sunday on the ice in South Fort George. The harp was distinctly heard for a distance of five miles down the river. The purchase of the assets of tbe now defunct Fort George Lumber & Navigation Co., by a representative of the J. I). McArthur contracting company, Winnipeg, is another indication that, there is likely to be active railway work initiated in the district at no distant date. Tho J. D. McArthur company are railroad builders of prominence in the Dominion, and one of \jheir recent contracts embraced the construction of the Transcontinental east from Win- peg. The company's acquisition here is, doubtless, for the purpose of facilitating early railroad construction work without having to be put to the inconvenience of building river boats and erecting mills. The selection of South Fort George as a point from which operations are to be conducted is further evidence of the strategical importance of the point on the Fraser river. U. S. Secretary of Agriculture Nelson, speaking at Buffalo, N. Y., twelve days ago, said the reciprocal arrangements between Canada and the United States offered the people of the latter country the following advantages; Access to the Canadian forests. Access to the Canadian markets for American fruits. The Canadian market for American draught horses. The Canadian market for farm machinery. Thc privilege of grinding Canadian wheat in United States mills, and exporting the flour to Europe. The use of the by-products of this wheat as feed for dairy purposes. agreement. The Dominion government has departed from the policy laid down by Conservative and Liberal governments to consult fully all interests before making extensive changes in thc tariff." The Canadian Pacific railway is negotiating for 100,000 tons of steel rails to be used on its new western branches. FORT GEORGE LAND DISTT1TOT. District of Cariboo.

Thomas A. Edison, in an interview, makes some remarkable predictions of new inventions that will be given to the world before the end of the present century. He predicts the time is not far distant when inventors will have made possible the following: Cloth, buttons, thread, tissue paper and pasteboard will be fed into one end of a machine, and suits of clothing, packed In boxes, will come out of the other. Steel will replace wood for making furniture. The cost of steel furniture is only one-fifth that of wood, and steel furniture is very light, because so little of the steel is required, lt can be stained in perfect imitation of any wood color. Nickel will be used instead of paper for books. A sheet of nickel one twenty-thousandth of an inch thick is cheaper, tougher and more flexible than an ordinary sheet of book paper. It also will absorb printer's FORT GEORGE LAND DISTRICT. District of Cariboo. Take notice that Dan Wi Vancouver, B.

The result is that the last block of open prairie lands in the west available for homestead entry and pre-emption has now been practically taken up and future homesteaders will have to resort to the partially wooded lands of the northern and outlying districts or will have to purchase from the railway companies and other holders. This is bound to mean a further increase in the value of the land. Northern British Columbia is a field untouched as yet. There are millions of acres of good land that can be made to yield more profit, with less expenditure of effort than any "wooded lands" the territories possess. The entire stretch of country from Giscombe to Aldermere, following thc line of the G. T. P. railway will one day be the home of thousands of contented families who will find a ready market for everything a mixed farm can raise. would contain 40,000 pages. It would weigh only a pound and tbe cost of tbe nickel pages would be 5c. Huge farming implements driven by electricity will replace the present agricultural tools. The future farmer will be a soil chemist, a botanist and an economist. He will perform his present manual work at a seat beside a push-button and some levers. The most interesting of Mr. Edi- sonjs predictions is that the old dream of the transmutation of metals is certain to come true sooner or later, and a way will be found to manufacture gold. The probability that the way to manufacture gold will be discovered sooner or later causes Mr. Edison to believe the present financial system of the world will be changed.
