Tenders will close on the 6th and 20th of August respectively. The two-room school will be built on Block 238, and the four- room school on Block 178. It was proposed to make the latter a six-room building, the additional rooms to be used for high school purposes.

Mr. Charles Millar, of Toronto, spent a few days in the city this week looking over his property interests here. He was accompanied by Mr. McKenna, a <_ ell-known Toronto hotelman and a business associate. Mr. Millar is the largest individual property owner in this city, the Millar portion of Prince (leorge comprising about 200 acres in the southeast corner of the subdivided area, most of which is inside the city limits. The gity taxes on this property aggregate over $3,000. Besides city property Mr. Millar's other investments in British Columbia total over a million dollars. He is president and managing director of the famous B. C. Express company, a transportation company with a network of stage lines throughout Cariboo and operating river steamboats. The "B.X." system of stage lines is the largest and most complete on the continent. During his visit here Mr. Millar arranged through his local representative, Mr. N, H. Wesley, for the erection of two residences on his property here. These houses will cost in the neighborhood of $2500 each and will be thoroughly modern in every particular. The plans are now in the hands of the contractors, Mr. Millar is an enthusiastic Says German Nation Will Never Submit Chicago, July 28—The Staats Zeitung, Chicago's German newspaper, prinos an editorial on President Wilson's latest note, lt says: "Germany can never submit to the tone of it and will, as much as we are sorry, for it, find no other answer than the breaking off of diplomatic relations. We, as well as the German government, know fully tht t with such a step she fulfils not only the wish of thie government but also that of England, and will create a very painful situation for German-Americans. "The note shows the President I will break with Germany at all 1 hazards.. He should first ask the I people of the United States if i they are satisfied to be driven into war. The note is unworthy of the republic. We hope (ler- many will not blame the people for the present government's action." Latest U. S. Note is Emphatic. Washington, July 24. The text of the American note oo submarine warfare, presented at Berlin today by Ambassador Gerard, was made made public here tonight, It, reveals that the imperial government has been informed it is the intention of the United States to regard as "deliberately unfriendly" any repetition by the crolrl east of Barkerville.

This resolution was passed by a vote of of 4 to 1 of the council, the mayor dissenting. Later the resolution was again passed by a similar vote reiterating the demand, the mayor continuing to dissent.

It is too early yet to discuss the question as to what will happen to the hotels of the province, although it is admitted that those which have been built up on a purely "bar" foundation will have to close their doors. It is thought, however, that the better class hotels will remain, provided the question of abnormal leases can be adjusted. Many hotel men claim that leases were swollen out of all proportion because of the bar attached to the hotel and suggest that the government should step in if the lessors will not agree to a reduction.

That was the reason, he said, Premier Borden, of Canada, attended the cabinet meeting July 14. That was not an isolated phenomenon, the under-secretary added, but a part of the general trend of events. Speaking for the government in the house of lords, Lord Newton said that the number of married men at present in the British army was approximately 843,000, The aggregate cost of separation allowances paid to wives and children of these men has been $125,000,000. British army staff officers in their "Notes from the Front," have repeatedly emphasized the necessity of practicing night route marches, night platoon and company drill and manoeuvres. They point out that it is practically impossible to get into or out of the trenches by day, and that night work should be made a practice of in all military training1 camps. Major E. A. Seeley- Smith, general staff officer, at Vernon, responsible for the training of the overseas units, has, consequently prescribed night work, and during the dark midnight hours Vernon people have seen what seemed to be phantom armies moving through the streets and over the roads. If Vilhjalmar Stefannson, who headed an expedition into the Arctic regions for the Canadian government in June, 1913, and who a few months later left his ship, the Karluk, with two Norwegians who had resided for several years in northern Alaska, to go north in the interests of scientific research, does not show up, or if nothing is heard from him by the end of August, or early September, officials of the naval service department feel that they will be compelled to believe that their worst fears have been realized. Not a word ha: been received from Stefann- Government Positions For Maimed Soldiers. Ottawa, July 20th.-''Government positions, as far as possible should be given to returned soldiers," declared E. N. Rhodes M. P. for Cumberland, "There are many positions in the government service which injured men can efficiently fill. A Canadian who has lost a leg or arm or who has received other serious injury may not be able to take a place on the fighting line again, but there is no reason why such a man cannot look after a lighthouse, rur a mail route, or perform the duties of many other government positions." l«^TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTJ7TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTI_r NOTICE TO CONTRACTORS. Peace River Country Is Settling Up. Prince Rupert, July 28.—Mr. Fletcher Bredin, who with Mrs. Bredin, is visiting with Mr. and Mrs. F. H. Mobley, is a pioneer of pioneers, having been active in the development of the great Northwest for many years. Mr. Bredin is now located at Grand Prairie, where he has 200 acres of fine farm land. In 1901 he sent the first plow into that country, where today there are thousands of settlers. A talk with Mr. Bredin is a great cure for pessimism in these times of stringency. He is one of those broad ■ minded, ever- young old- timers, who have helped to bring civi ization tothe wilderness, and who keep steadily looking ahead. He looks forward to the time when the fertile Peace River country of six hundred by three hundred miles will be shipping grain via Prince Rupert and bringing in European supplies by this great Pacific doorway. He states that six coach loads of settlers are going into the Peace River country every week, He expects that the Edmonton, Dunvegan and B. C. Railroad will reach Peace River Crossing in December, and will enter Grand Prairie in January or Feb- ■ ruary of next year, In Peace! River Crossing, he sees a great i city of the future. In several years he has never experienced ; crop failure, and at present has I grain of three seasons back in his barns, which speaks volumes for the climate of that countr .

Business Follows the Flag of Good Advertising. UNUSUAL CONDITIONS of the past ten months have created an up-hill situation for business. Consistent and persistent advertising in the proper medium will enable you to "make" the hill and show a gain for your business over even normal times. The wise engineer does not cut down the steam on the upgrade-just a little more is needed to negotiate the hill. Why not let us talk to you about a conservative publicity campaign in the Prince George Herald, the oldest established newspaper in Central British Columbia? We can introduce you to the- people who will buy your merchandise. Call us up and we shall be pleased to discuss publicity with you. THE PRINCE GEORGE HERALD. i I 4 P. i Tclrpbon. SS. P. O.
