VOL. 5, NO. 43. PRINCE GEORGE, BRITISH COLUMBIA, FRIDAY, JUNE 25, 191.' Price Five Cents FINDLAY RIVER SETTLERS WASH GOLD FROM SAND BARS Bringing more than half-a-ton of choice raw furs for the Hudson's Bay Company, (ius Montan an old-timer in this district, arrived on Monday last from Fort Grahame. Travelling hy canoe over the Giscombe - Summit Lake route, Gus made the trip out in 16 days. He reports considerable travel over the all-water route to Peace River and many prospective settlers are now on the way in to spy out the land. Mr. Montan stated that probably fifty settlers are washing gold on the bars of the Findlay River and its tributaries, and all are making good wages despite the high cost of living in that region. Flour is worth 824 per hundred, and all other recessities are proportunately high priced. Settlers have planted small areas in vegetables, grain, etc., and these show wonderful growth and promise big yields, The potato crop looks especially promising and no frost since April has been evident. Potatoes were planted early in May and are well advanced, Mr. Montan is highly pleased with the Findlay country and expects to start on his return trip in a few days. "The City of Prince George" Proclamation of Lieut-Governor Changing Name Becomes Effective Today. Magistrate and Commissioners Are Appointed Police Magistrate—Charles B. Daniell. Police Commissioners—George E. McLaughlin and Alderman E. A. Eagel. License Commissioners—Norman H. Wesley and Alderman H. E. Parks. The appointments of the above- named gentlemen were received this week from the Provincial Secretary, completing the list of city officials for the balance of the year. General satisfaction is expressed as to the personnel of the appointees. The magistrate, Mr. Daniell, is a gentleman well fitted for the rather trying position. In addition to magisterial duties Mr. Daniell is commissioned to hear all small debts cases occurring within a radius of twenty miles of the city. The members of the two commissions are men of the highest integrity in whom the citizens have every confidence. They can be safely trusted to attend to the city's affairs with a dignity worthy of the office. Mayor Gillett is chairman of both committees. Four Candidates for Legislature Now in Field W. F. Cooke Completes Quartette of Candidates for Provincial Honors. Up to date three candidates have been nominated by their respective parties to make the race for representative of the new provincial riding of Fort George, A fourth entry, Mr. W. F. Cooke, this week declared himself an independent candidate for the honor, thus rounding out the quartette. The Conservative candidate is Mr. A. G. Hamilton, nominated at a convention of delegates from all portions of the district; Mr. C. A. Gaskill. who was the unanimous choice of local Liberals, and Mr. John Mclnnis, the Socialist leader in this district. Mr. Cooke announces that he has taken the field at the solicitation of a number of friends, and hopes to be able shortly to announce a public meeting where he will air his views on provincial affairs. In the B. C. Gazette of June 17th, the following appointments appear: Arthur Sampson, Government Agent, 15ii-mile House to be issuer of marriage licenses. George Hector Munro, to be a member of the Board of Commissioners of Police for the city of Prince Rupert. William Ross Stone, of Vanderhoof, M. D., C. M., to be medical health officer for Vanderhoof and surrounding district, Lake Route to Eastern Canada On June 19th the Grand Trunk Pacific Lake route between western and Eastern Canada was opened for the summer season. This route has been one of the most popular features of Grand Trunk Pacific service, and deservedly so. Trains with the finest equipment run over smooth-riding track and operate at convenient hours to give close connection with the finest steamships in the Lake service. The steamship "Noronic," placed in service last year for the first time, is unquestionably the largest, finest and safest passenger steamership on the upper lakes. The first train eastbound left Winnipeg 10.30 p.m. Saturday, June 19th, to connect with S.S. "Hamonic" sailing from Fort William Sunday, June 20. Westbound a day train will be operated thisjyear, leaving Fort.William on arrival of Northern Navigation steamships. First train will leave Fort William at 7.30 a.m. June 21st, with passengers from S.S. "Noronic," arriving Winnipeg 10.30 p.m. 3ame evening. Parties planning their summer vacation trips to Eastern Canada or the New England States will add comfort and pleasure to their holidays by travelling this route. In addition to the above they have the privilege of returning home via diverse routes. Potato Cultivation. Everybody may think he or she knows the potato, but a perusal of Pamphlet No. 2, issued by the Publications Branch, Department of Agricultural, Ottawa, upon the solanum tuberosum, will convince the same he or she that there is much to learn. A reprint from the Agricultural Gazette, official mouthpiece of the department, the pamphlet is a collection of articles of superlative worth. Introduced by a brief historical statement showing the place the potato occupies in the world's domestic economy, and especially that of Canada, hy which it would appear that the crop is worth to this country upwards of $41,500,- OOo a year, we are presented with a complete exposition of the cultivation of the tuber by Mr. W. T. Macoun, Dominion Horticulturist. Mr. H. T. Gussow, Dominion Botanist, explains, first, the diseases to which the potato is subject and how they can be controlled, and next, the results of inspection under the ' 'Destructive Insect and Pest Act." Essays telling the story of potato production in each of the provinces by ten of the leading authorities of C a n a d a, give weight and importance and the highest expert countenance to the reprint, which is made complete by telling how potato- growing contests are conducted in Manitoba and by a table of the world's production for three years. This table shows Ger- many to be the greatest potato- producing country and also, that excepting in Canada and the United States, the production is everywhere on the decline. In a proclamation bearing the seal of Lieutenant-Governor Barnard, under date of June 17th, and which comes into effect today, the name, "City of Fort Georg" given under the incorporation act, is changed to "City of Prince George." A vote on the choice of names taken at the first municipal election last month was almost unanimously in favor of the new name, only thirteen voters being in favor of the name "Fort George." The proclamation, deleting the preamble, reads as follows: Whereas the municipal electors of the City of Fort George who are entitled to vote on bylaws for borrowing money on the credit of the municipality are in favor of changing the name of the municipality to ''City of Prince George." as appears by a report of the Returning Officer at the first municipal election held in thc said municipality on the 20th day of May, 1915: Now know ye that by virtue of the authority contained in section 12 of the "Fort George Incorporation Act," we do hereby order and proclaim that on, from, and after the publication of this Proclamation in two consecutive issues of the British Columbia Gazette, thc municipality incorporated under the name "City of Fort George," by chapter 29 of the "Statutes of British Columbia 1915," shall be known by the name "City of Prince George.'' Will Organize CITY'S FIRST CELEBRATION Farmers'Institute. PROMISES TO BE A WINNER Antler Creek Gold Strike. The recent gold strike at Antler Creek in the Barkerville country, is fulfilling all expectations, according to arrivals from the old Cariboo town this week. It is stated that values running 8100 to the pan have been taken out in the last few days. Lest a stampede be started to that district the Herald might state that all the promising ground is held under lease. Permission Given by Provincial Minister of Finance and Agriculture — Meeting on July 8th. A notice in the B. C. (iazette of June 17th, authorizes the organization of a Farmers' Institute in the district of FortGeorge on the petition of William Bell and others. ln accordance with the provisions of the Act the first meeting for the purpose of organization shall be held at 8 p.m., on Thursday, July 8th, at the Board of Trade Hall, Fort (leorge. Fish are Biting Well East and West of City. The magnificent lakes east and west of the city abound in fish of many kinds and are luring many citizens on week-end trips. Last Sunday, nearly twenty went to Eagle Lake, east of here, returning in the evening with good catches. Among the many fishing points west of the city, the Bednesti Lake region has won the greatest support from local disciples of Izaak Walton, The trip can be made by train or by wagon road, and there is a good stopping place near by which caters to the wants of fishermen, One sportsman told the Herald this week that out at Bednesti it was often necessary to hide behind a tree in order to bait a hook. Certainly some fine catches have been made there. The sports committee of the Dominion Day celebration report good progress in the work of arrangements for a gala day, Last evening a meeting was hold at the offices of the Norlh Coast Land Co., when more than §400 in prizes was allotted in the different events. In all probability the sports will be held on the grounds east of George Street, near Fourth Avenue. The Duchess Park grounds are still in a rough condition, and it will hardly be possible to have them in shape for the first. Seating accommodation will be provided on the 4th Avenue site, and possibly the old grandstand at South Fort George will be moved over. A committee of carpenters, who volunteered their services free of cost, are today taking up the question of seating accommodation, and will arrive at a solution of the problem today. In the absence of Mayor Gillett president of the sports committee, Vice-president W. F. Cooke is looking after arrangements with lhe vigor that has made him famous. Whether the Hazelton ball team will be here in time for the Dominion Day sports can not lie learned. The train service is not I favorable for the dato, so the loam manager is endeavoring to arrange for a special train to ! bring his players and a host of j boosters. _lr. Cooke, who is an authority on weather matters, states that he has arranged with old Jupe Pluvius to take a day off, consequently the success of the city's lirst celebration seems assured. The ladies in charge of the patriotic dance to be held in the Ritt-Kifer Hall in the evening are sparing no pains to make it a real big success. They deserve every encouragement in their ambitious efforts. NORTH NECHACO NOTES. Bloemfontain, June 22.—Following his conviction on a charge of treason, General DeWet, leader of the recant South African insurrection, was today sentenced to six years' imprisonment and fined 810,000. Recommendation of City Council for Depot at Foot of George Street Is Sent to Railway Commissioners Last Monday evening's meeting of the city council was remarkable for the amount of bus- ness transacted. The tedium of routine which has characterized many of the gatherings of the council was absent and many matters of importance were cleared up. Perhaps the most important action of the evening was the ordering of the city clerk to forward "forthwith" to the Railway Commission and to the officials of the Grand Trunk Pacific a copy of the resolution of the council passed June 1st, requesting the immediate construction of a railway station at the foot of George Street Aid. Lambert opened the question when he asked if the resolution in question had been forwarded. The city clerk replied that he understood Mayor Gil- lett's "notice of veto" had forbidden the carrying out of the resolution for a period of thirty days. City Solicitor Wilson, in looking up the Municipal Act, found that the mayor had no power to veto such n resolution, The mayor could only call for a reconsideration of tho question, and if this were again favorable, his authority ceased. Aid. Ellis then called for a re-consideration with the above result. Aid. Eagel was the only opponent to the resolution. In the absence of Mayor Gillett, Aid. Ruggies was in the mayoral chair. Other business transacted was the reading of a petition signed by 26 business men asking for an early closing bylaw. Such a bylaw will probably be brought down at an early date. Considerable discussion took place on the question of building a temporary city hall, Several communications were read from men who offered to rent the city temporary premises. A committee composed of Acting Mayor Ruggies, Aid, Eagel, Ellis, and Parks, to look into the matter and report, at the next meeting of the council. J. T. Breckon, of Vancouver, wrote the council asking for a position in installing a waterworks system here, He was, until recently employed on such | work in Vancouver. A special meeting for the con-; sideration of bylaws and other business! was announced for Thursday evening. Ed. Hoar spent a few days recently fishing at Isle de Pierre. Roy Marshall intends leaving in a few days for his home in Hamilton, Ont, Roy is an old- timer here and we presume, he thinks he is of marriageable age now. Public Schools Closed Yesterday With Picnic Children. Parents, Teachers and Trustees Banish Dull Care and Welcome Vacation. Dr. Alward is having considerable work done on his ranch, on the Giscombe Road. He and Mr. Nightingale were out on Sunday looking things over. Some workmen were engaged in blasting the beaver dam on McMillan Creek recently. The water has lowered considerably but the fishing is still good. Parties of enthusiastic fisher-folk of both sexes are on the job daily. Mr. and Mrs. Waldoff and family paid a visit to the Robbins ranch, Chief Lake- Road, on Sunday last. Mr. Robbins is doing considerable work on his place, and is having an additional ten acres prepared this year. Frank Crewe, an old-timer here who has a pre-emption on the Salmon, returned last week from a visit to his old home in Eng- and. He states that everyone in the old land is wearing khaki and that the young man who is not a soldier is asked many times a day wdiy he has not enlisted. The successful prosecution of the war has seized all classes, and thousands are enlisting daily for service at home and abroad. As a result of the warlike feeling he became imbued with over there, Frank is leaving at once for Calgary where he hopes to enlist for the battle front. He returned to Canada before enlisting because of the better pay received by the soldiers from here and also to settle up some business affairs here. He owns a dozen lots in Prince George besides having some valuable property in the South town, NOTICE. Recruiting officer Lieut. Vanderbyl will be in Prince George on the 2nd day of July. All volunteers will kindly hold themselves in readiness to report to him on that date. Until his arrival I will continue to take the names of volunteers. It, C. S. RANDALL, Goverment Agent's Oflice. Liberal Candidate Will Not Drop Out, A report was current early this week that Mr. C, A. Gaskill, Liberal candidate for tho Legislature, had decided to drop out of the race. Interviewed by the Herald, Mr. Gaskill characterized the report as a deliberate falsehood, the origin of which he attributed to his political opponents. "You can say for me," said the Liberal candidate, "that 1 am in this contest to a finish, "There is no possibility nor has there been any discussion of my retirement in favor of any candidate. I am ' in the light to a finish," The public schools of the city closed for summer vacation yesterday at noon. In the afternoon pupils, teachers, parents and trustees gathered at "the island" tor a picnic. Judging from reports of the kiddies it was the biggest time in the country's history. There were games, foot races, ail sorts of competitions with prizes attached, ice cream, oranges, and the most gorgeous spread of eatables that ever preceded a colicky and troublous night. Not a fistic encounter was staged among the young hopefuls, while the girls of the school were as dainty and immaculate as dream angels, The grownups had just as much fun as the kids, and Chairman Wilson, of the board of trustees, was the busiest and happiest man in four counties. The success of the picnic was largely due to the enthusiastic labors of the trustees, Messrs. Leathley, Mahon and Wilson, aided by the teachers and parents, Diplomas of merit were presented lo the following pupils: Miss Hammond's room -Proficiency, Margarel Hardy; regularity and punctuality, Dorothy Hillings: punctuality, Arthur Sargent ; deportment, Judy Wilson and Willie Laird.

In the early history of Fort (leorge (1910-1911J Mr. Cooke held office in the Conservative Association and was an earnest apostle of that party's policy. A little later he accepted a commission from the Liberal* of the district to go on a mission to Ottawa to make certain representations to the government. His Conservative ardor was for a time thereafter somewhat cooled. Later he again became a Con servative and entered in the work and conferences of the party. The Herald gives this brief resume of Mr. Cooke's political activities here in the hope that some modern Moses may arise and show us just what the "independent" candidate's political views really consist of.

In reference to the rate of interest Mr. McKenna said the government had to face the situation of today, and there were two great facts which could not be ignored. The old war loan at present netted the investors 4 Vt per cent., and this loan now stood at a discount. "Wc require many hundreds of millions," said the chancellor. "If on the other old war loan the investor can get rather better than 414 we cannot expect thc new issue to be floated at less than 4V4."

Krupp Factories Build Longer Range Artillery. Copenhagen, June 22.—A Danish student of economics, who has just returned from a visit to thc Krupp workmen's cottages al Essen, says that since the war began thc number of workrs at the great factories has been increased from 70,000 to 115,000. In the opinion of the employees, the production of 42-ccntimctre guns is only a prelude to thc manufacture of heavy guns of Immense range, and in this respect, he says, great surprises may, at no very distant date, be expected. Work at present is practically concentrated on thc manufacture of long range artillery. A bona fide prospector, who has taken out his miner's license, is at liberty to shoot game at any lime for his own use when engaged in mining or prospecting in an unorganized district, but thc taking out of a miner's license does not in itself confer the right to go out and hunt just as one pleases, neither does It confer the right to shoot game out of season in any organized district, whether prospecting or not.

Father Coccola performed the ceremony. The bride was given away by Mr. Harry Close, while Mr. M. C. Wiggins supported the happy groom. .Something of a faux pas occurred when the priest requested the ring to bind the contract. "Whaffo ling?" asked the perplexed groom. Mr. Wiggins, whose presence of mind did not desert him in this hour of need, immediately procured a substitute emblem from the company store md the ceremony was brought to a happy conclusion. The entire party then repaired to the residence of the bride's parents where a recherche supper was served and dancing and cheery repartee enlivened the evening. An enjoyable time was had hy all. I.ieutenent Vandcrhyl, recruiting officer, has wired Mr. R. C. S. Randall that he will he here next Friday to receive applications of recruits for overseas service.

The Austro-German armies pushed forward eastward through Galicia, recapturing Przemyls June 3, and then, without pause struck at Lemberg from thc south and west. At no point were the Russians able to withstand the terrific bombardment directed against their positions, and even the lines of defence near Grodek, sixteen miles west of Lemberg, which is of great natural strength, proved to he untenable. With Lemberg now in their hands Austria has reclaimed virtually the whole province of .Galicia. The fight ing in this campaign has ben of unusual intensity, with heavy losses. The figures of killed, wounded and captured, as given in Austrian, German and Russian official statements, run into the hundreds of thousands. Russia had made plans for permanent occupation of Galicia. bringing in officials to set up civil administi ation in the territory as fast as it was taken. Lembeig was rechristened Lvov, the old Russian-Polish name. The city has a population of about 200,000 and was an important Austrian military station. Although founded in the thirteenth century, it is of modern appearance and is known for its imposing buildings.

It was known that the Germanic allies were within artillery range of the Galician capital and capitulation was regarded as a question only of days. Nothing has been heard as yet from Petrograd, but there is no disposition to doubt the accuracy of Austria's claim. Austria has now reclaimed most of the province of Galicia occupied by the Russians early in the war. The fall of Lemberg had been expected for several days and was admitted in Petrograd to be imminent. The Russians are reported to have withdrawn most of their forces and supplies from the city, which was threatened with envelopment by the Austro-German armies advancing from the north and south. South of Lemberg, in the Dneister region, a strip of Austrian territory' is still in the hands of the Russians. An official statement from Petrograd reports an important victory after a battle along the river which lasted several days. At Rawa Ruska, thirty- two miles northwest of Lemberg, and near the Bukowina border, other Russian successes are claimed. Lemberg, capital of Galicia, was occupied by the Russians on September 2, 1914, about one month after the outbreak of hostilities, in the course of the early Russian drive into Austria, lt has therefore been in Russian control for over ten months. For thep ast twenty days, since the Austro-Germans took Przemysl from thc forces of Emperor Nicholas, it has been the objective of a series of fierce and concentrated attacks on the part of the Teutonic allies. Their success may have a far-reaching political effect, as the driving out of the Russians from Galicia is counted upon in Berlin to help maintain thc status quo in the Balkans ^^^^^^^^^^ The capture of Lemberg was one of the earliest important successes of the Russians. Following it they pushed onward rapidly through Galicia, The high water mark of the invasion found almost all the province in their hunds. They approached within striking dis- tnee of Cracow, at thcf- western end of thc province, close to the German frontier; stormed the heights and For tickets, reservations, and full particulars, apply to any Grand Trunk Pacific Agent, or Train Agent, W.
