VOL. 5, NO. 31. Nechaco River Is Scene of Suicide On Tuesday, late in the afternoon, a laborer, identified by a letter found in his coat pocket as Dan. Chism, committed suicide by jumping into the Nechaco Hiver at the head of Central Avenue, Fort George. Chism was seen walking down the long flight of stairs leading to the railroad grade and the iiver where he stood for a few moments gazing into the swiftly Uowing, icy waters. Then suddenly throwing off his coat and hat, he leaped into the stream and was immediately carried down river by the strong current. The alarm was at once given and a number of people rushed to the scene and along the river. There being, however, no boat in the vicinity, tho unfortunate man could not he reached, and the body disappeared from view. The police having been notified at once watched the river lower down; but the body did not again j appear on the surface. A search was then made at various points down river, and although kept up diligently and systematically for two days, proved unsuccessful. The motive of the suicide can not definately be ascertained. It is the opinion of some who saw him shortly before he took the fatal leap that unemployment for some time had made him despondent. This opinion is supported by the fact that a letter found in the man's coat pocket on the bank was from a brother who was complaining of being in strained circumstances. The letter had been written at Prince Rupert. Nothing further is known of 'relatives of the deceased. The present whereabouts of the one brother is also unknown beyond that he is supposed to be somewhere between here and Prince Rupert. SUUTH FORI GEORGE, B. C. FRIDAY, APRIL 2nd, 1915. B. C.

KEDISTRIDUTION. Somt question having arisen a.s to the need of Redistribution at this time and the going to the electorate of the province in consequence, the following might not be out of place at this time while the question of date is being waited from the Government. Sir Richard McBride, at a session of the late Legislature on the second reading of the Redistribution Bill, traced the history of Parliamentary Representation in the province. He said that it might be argued that to increase the membership from 42 to 47 at |this time was unnecessary, but the government felt that there was every tendency to increase the population of the province, and that before the next Redistribution the total would approximate one million people in the province. That the great new north was rapidly developing and there was great necessity that there should be full representation in the legislature of this northern territory. The first two parliaments of the province had 25 members, 13 from tho mainland and 12 from the Island of Vancouver. This representation continued until June 1882, In the third, fourth, and fifth parliaments, 25 members were in the legislature. In the sixth parliament the membership was increased to 33, 17 on the mainland and 16 on the Island, from 1890 to 1894. From 1894 to 189fi, the seventh parliament again contained 33 members, 19 from the mainland und 14 from the Island. The eighth and ..ninth parliaments from 1898 to 190() and 1900 1902. contained 38 members, 23 from the mainland and 15 from the Island. The tenth parliament was elected on a basis of 42 members, 30 on the mainland and 12 on the Island, which division has continued until the present time. The present Redistribution is the first to be based on the report of an independent Royal Commission consisting of two Judges of the Supreme Court; The Redistribution is not based on the population, alone, on account of the varying conditions geographically, allied interests, voting power and resources. It is not claimed that the new Redistribution is in proportion to the increase of population since 1902, but it is suitable to all the requirements of the province. : The idea has been not to so increase the membership as to make the house unweildy, as to give fair reprentation to the province as a whole. Speaking of the new district of Fort George the Premier said : "The boundaries of Cariboo have been reduced, the district formerly occupied by it being divided into two, Fort George and Cariboo. Fort George has been sliced out of Cariboo, the latter being very much reduced in area. The district's name, Fort George, is most appropriate as it perpetuates a name which is now historical, Fort George being the point from which Simon Fraser left on his memorable voyage down the Fraser River in 1808." FOOT BALL SEASON HERE At a meeting held Wednesday night, it was decided to hold a practise game of foot ball at Central, Monday afternoon at 3 o'clock (April 5th) to arrange for the seasons matches between Prince and the Caledonians. The Central team will not enter this year, but as they are the last winners and holders of the Montgomery Shield, the winners of the two new clubs now forming will be awarded the shield from the present holders. It is hoped every player will turn out at this first practise when the dates for the league games and the number of games to be played will be decided. The tentative line-up is as follows: CALEDONIANS PRINCE GEORGE Kerr Finlaison Nichilson Kelly Murray, O.

GREAT GOLD MINING OPPERATIONS PENDING IN THE HISTORIC MINING DISTRICT. Mr. E. P. Campbell, the well-1 known city business man of South Fort George and Prince George, j who has just returned from a; business trip to Quesnel, inform-; ed the Herald that while there, j several large mining outfits passed through on their way to Barkerville, and that the greatest mine opperations in the country's history are now pending. The town of Barkerville, which sprung up with the original discovery of gold, is situated in the bed of William's Creek being thc most convenient place for miners to build their cabins. With the opening up of this hitherto isolated mining country with railways, has resulted in attracting capital in a most marked degree. And as a result of the high values obtained in the recent borings, it has been decided to move the entire town a distance of about two miles, to a bench over-looking the valley, and which will prove to be a much more suitable site, after which the entire valley of Williams Crock will be dredged. In spite of lhe war depression, capitalistsareeveron the look-out with a keen eye for profitable investments, and British capital which is being diverted to Europe on account of the war, is losing a most valuable opportunity. But the Americans, who are the shrewdest money makers are wide awake to the opportunities which present themselves on account of the Northern Interior of British Columbia being opened up by railways, and the dearth of British capital caused by the war. But British Columbia shall ever welcome American capital as well as American citizens. The Guigenheims computed the wealthiest mining corporation in the world, are large factors in the development of Barkerville district, having large holdings on Antler Creek, William's Creek, and also on a number of smaller creeks. While a number of minining companies of less importance are acquiring holdings preparatory to installing dredging and hydraulic plants. We are informed that a plant costing half a million, will be installed at William's Creek, and one of about the same size at Antler Creek, providing the borings are satisfactory. Recently we were informed that the values obtained in the bore has exceeded anticipation. We therefore look forward to a busy season in this northern mining district, as well its a large output of gold, and although Fort George is a considerable distance from this mining centre, there is no reason why we should not benefit, especially in the outfitting line, this place being the logical supply point, coal and provisions destined for German auxiliary cruiser Kron I Prinz Willhelm.

GASKILL Liberal Candidate feer the Provincial Legislature for the new constituency of Fort George. Local Political Situation While the local politicians and candidates await word of the date of election, discussion of the political situation, national, provincial and municipal, occupies the minds of the local electorate. No word having come from Victoria as to the date of election, there remains nothing to be done but to wait and be in readiness for this announcement. The Conservative candidate, Mr. A. G. Hamilton, is in receipt of numerous telegrams of congratulation from friends and political acquaintances, among them the following from J. T, Robinson, of Kamloops: A. G. Hamilton, South Fort George. Hearty congratulations on your selection as Conservative candidate for Fort George District. You are sure to win. If I can be of any assistance will cheerfully help you. J. T. Robinson, Also the following from the Attorney-General, Victoria: Mr. A. G. Hamilton, Soulh Fort Georgo. Congratulations on your nomination. Hope party will all stand firmly behind you and carry you to Victory. W. J, Bowser. Mrs. Gnaggs-Before we were married you used to say you could listen to my<woet voice all night. Mr. Gnaggs- Well, at that time I had no idea I'd ever have to do it. During the last three months on an average about 8,000 British vessels have been continually on the seas, passing to and fro on their lawful vocation. There have been 4,465 arrivals and 3,600 sailings from the ports of the United Kindom. Only nineteen vessels have been sunk by submarines. That is a very remarkable result to have been achieved after only a few months of war. I am sure if we had been told befoi'o the war that such a result would be so soon achieved and that out- loss would be so small, we should not have believed it for a moment. Certainlv the great sailors of the past, of the Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars, would have been astounded. During those two great wars, which began in 1793, and ended, after a brief interval in 1814, 10,871 British merchant ships were captured or sunk by the enemy. Even after the decisive battle of Trafalgar, when we had the undisputed command of the seas, the loss of British ships went on at the average rate of over 500 a year. In 1806, 519 ships were Sunk or captured ; in 1807, 559; in 1808, 469; in 1806, 571; and in 1810, 619. Loading Steamships With Ammunition. New York. — Work is being rushed in the loading of more than twelve steamers here with food supplies, ammunition, guns, motor trucks and other material for the use of the Allies in the , war. Several steamship companies have been compelled to charter additional vessels to carry to Europe heavy cargoes waiting on New York piers. The steamer Malte, at the French Line pier is taking on board a 12,000 ton cargo said to be chiefly of war supplies, while another French vessel, La Gascoigne, is being prepared to take horses to the allied armies on the continent.

Much is said by "economists' as to the vast destruction of cap ital now in progress and the sub-i, ,,,,-,., " ,, sequent effects to be experienced !,been spelled to h,bernate the long war is not unlike that of a long winter. Peace, by its contrast, makes for a rebound of spirits, such as one feels in the spring of the year. Business men crave exercise of their talents, and the longer they have in the financial world. Capital is of many kinds and variously located. Most of it is not easily destroyed, even in a war area. Money is not destroyed by war, although it may leave its accustomed haunts. Crops may vanish in some places, but the soil and its most expensive improve- ments remain even in the very wake of wars. Railway tracks may be torn up but roadbeds and j right of way—by far the most expensive parts of a modern transportation system — remain. Koads and bridges suffer, but keener the desire to exercise MOTHER LOVE. It is astonishing how many people whom the world regards as kind-hearted do not hesitate to take a child away from its mother.

Many social workers have come, to understand this, and earnest j >n* qualities, discussed the change in inter empire relations to be expected after the war. Eugene Lafleur, K. C, favored unification of laws throughout the Dominion. The Hon. James Beck, formerly assistant attorney-general of the United States, considered how the nations might organize to prevent any other outbreaks of war such as the present. Sir James Aikins, K.C, M.P., of Winnipeg, president of the Bar Association, in his address, drew attention to and urged the necessity of codification of the laws in the provinces where the common law prevailed, He discussed the amount of legislation passed, saying: ''Our public laws are frequently ill-drawn and fragmentary, containing unnecessary and disturbing provisions.

Great points were left undecided and trivial ones received elaborate judgments. Nevertheless, in these judgments there was a mine of wealth. The remedy was to compress, to write the principles which have been settled by decision or statute in a well arranged code. Sir James said that as the laws ,' of the land were for its people, ; those who were to obey them should have some opportunity of knowing them, or, at least, their general principles. The involved condition of Canadian law made specialization necessary, a consequence that would be avoided by a code law. The codification of common law must be kept in view because of its influence on the unification of law throughout the empire. can be only one conclusion as to the ultimate ending of a struggle that has been undertaken, not, wasl over ine ^anaaian ^ac with the consent of the people of and the Grand Trunk Pacific ex- , Germany, but for the aggrandize-| pectg to bring a large number of last beyond the end of the war iment of a party that knows no; tourists westward over the north- even in the warring countries imnrpv Scores of special trains have been chartered to come to the coast over the Canadian Pacific, even in the warring countries.

But since both the creditors and those who pay the taxes are one and the same people—the citizens—it follows that no money capital is taken away from a nation that finances the war with money torrowed from its own people.

Many people who know the significance of Germany's cotton imports will heave a sigh of relief at the thought that under the blockade now in force, no more cotton will be allowed to reach Germany.

The present low price of eggs offers householders a splendid opportunity to secure good reliable eggs for this purpose. In packing the eggs the housewife keeps down the expenses and also aids in supporting the poultry industry at a time when conditions are far from satisfactory. When buying, the purchaser should insist on getting fresh, infertile eggs. Water- glass is the best medium for preservation. Wooden or earthenware receptacles are used to hold the eggs and liquid, and care should be taken to see that the former are clean and free from odors. Directions as to use of water-glass are given with the liquid. Cracked or dirty eggs should not be packed. When taken out of the preservative the eggs should be pricked with a needle before being used. Owing to the high cost of poultry feed stuffs, large numbers of fowls are being killed in the province. The number of chicks raised this year will also be materially curtailed. Both these facts point to the possibility of a more than usual scarcity of eggs Life la neither harmony nor (Uncord,. , » -■ ~«s». it in both, l-ivt! anil let live, cuch in next winter, hence the advice to hm own way: that iH the mibstunce of I nrpq(lrvp *»trws now when thou it all.

Plans of the Grand Trunk Pacific drydock at Prince Rupert, which is to be completed within the next two or three months, have been received. The dock will be the most commodious on the Pacific coast with the possible exception of that at San Francisco, for which the figures were not at hand for purposes of comparison. The Prince Rupert dock will be considerably larger than that at Bremmerton, Wash., where the United States warships are repaired. Another feature of the Prince Rupert dock will be the special equipment which will be installed with a view to the trans-Pacific trade which is expected to develop out of that port. It is interesting to note that there will be a 50-ton electric crane. Another feature is comprised in the arrangements to build vessels under cover over permanent launch ways. FULLY EQUIPPED SHOPS There will be a fully equipped machine and boiler shop, and ship shed, and a foundry with a daily capacity of ten tons. There will also be a power house, developing 2600 horsepower. Each of the shops and power house will be equipped with 15-ton electric overhead travelling cranes, It is planned to have three 500-cubic foot capacity air compressors and one 1500 cubic foot compressor, The first will be placed on the dock and the latter in the power house. MEASUREMENT TABLES The following tables give data as to measurements, capacity, etc.: Extreme length of dock over all, 600 teet; lifting capacity 20,000 tons; length of middle section 270 feet, lifting capacity 10,000 tons; length of each- end section 165 feet, lifting capacity 5000 tons; length of middle and one end section 435 feet, lifting capacity 15,000 tons; length of two ends together 330 feet, lifting capacity 10.000 tons; number of sections (steel wings) three independent units; number of pontoons (wood) 12; width in clear between wings, 100 feet; draft over blocks, 30 feet; pumps 12-inch centrifugal, electrically operated. The dock is "self- docking." aeeK explorer. | Seattle, Wash. — Staking his life and the lives of his crew on his own daring seamanship, his vast knowledge of the ice and his resourceful leadership, Capt. Louis Lane of Seattle, recognized as the most intrepid of modern Arctic navigators, sailed from Seattle last week in his staunch little power schooner Polar Bear to seek again for some trace of Vilhjalmur Stefansson and his two companions in the barrens of Banksland and also to obtain moving pictures of the blond Eskimos who dwell in Victoria Land. Lane expects to reach Banks- land the last week in August and will then resume his search for Stefansson and the two sailors, Ole Anderson and Stork Storkin- sen, who disappeared with the famous explorer in an eighty-six mile an hour storm on the Arctic ice a year ago next month. Last summer, Lane in the Polar Bear searched the coast of Banks- land for sign of the explorer and his followers, but the quest proved fruitless. ! 1915. the flag.

That is the essential problem which the war has to face in the opinion of Field Marshal Sir John French, commander of the British forces in France and Belgium, according to the Havas Agency's correspondent at British headquarters. "Ammunition is the pre-requi- site of all pushing ahead," Sir John is quoted as saying in an interview with the Havas correspondent. "Everyone needs plenty of ammunition, but the Germans need it more than we do. "Economic difficulties in the interior of the German Empire are daily becoming more serious. No doubt the Germans still are far from famine, but they manifestly are hampered in obtaining a food supply, and that is a great deal. "I do not believe it will be a long war. Spring promises well for the Allies, Wp are convinced, and all those here, that a decisive and definate victory awaits us at. the end of all these hard months of war." Viewed by military observers, the statement attributed to Sir John French is one of hopefulness and in contradistinction to many pessimistic reports hitherto sent out. Military operations in both theatres of war piay be expected to move swiftly from now on. The cry in the east is now "On to Cracow." Nations of all ages have observed penitential seasons. The observance of Lent is supposed to have had its origin in a desire to commemorate our Lord's 40 days of fasting in the wilderness and His temptation by satan, The length of the Lenten feast and the vigor with which it has been observed have varied greatly at different times and in different countries. At first it lasted only 40 hours, the period Christ lay in the grave, and wag purely voluntary. It gradually developed, however, into a regularly prescribed feast and was observed by Christians generally, its duration being extended to 36 days in the fifth or sixth century. Either Gregory the Great in the sixth century or Gregory the Second in the eighth added four days to make out the 40. Moses, Elias and Christ each fasted 40 days, and many believe that this accounts for the 40 days of Lent. The observation of days and seasons of fasting and prayer dates back into ancient history. In the book of Jonah we read of the fast observed by the Nin- evites, when Jonah threatened them with Jehovah's judgment On their sins. The Jews, from the beginning of their existence as a distinct nation, observed days of fasting. The Mohammedans annually kept their ninth month as a time of fasting. And the history of the Christian church shows that believers of all nations and denominations as organized bodies and as individ uals have believed in the efficacy of Lenten thought, self-examination, fasting and prayer. As this fast falls in the early part of the year it became confused with the season, and gradually the word Lent which orip- inally meant spring, was confined to this use.
