Stewart Informs Herald ^That Difi- cult Problems of Remaining Gap Are Solved-Headquarters for Contracting firm to be Established Immediately on Fraser River, Adjoining This Town. jack Stewart, managing director tt, contracting firm of Foley, Welch & Stewart' bUilderS rrand Trunk Pacific Railway, drove Into town yesterday (rom Hazelton Lompanied by Western Superintendent of Construction Shepard, D. A. Hankin, a contractor, and J. L. »e- Itallack, a mining engineer. In an interview with The Herald, Stewart stated that with the ■completion of the two big bridges |hat are holding up the tracks f6r a ,.,. weens at Pophry and Boulder Creeks, this side of Hazelton, all the tifflcult bridge work in British Columbia was practically completed. These bridges, he explained, and Jotter similar ones along the com- Ipleted construction, were _ the big ■problems in bridging, as their height [precludes the possibility of passing Ttheir locations on false work or piles. s bridges on the Fraser, he stated, Iwould not hold up the line for any length of time, owing to the fact ■that the road could cross* on piles ■at any of the bridge sites, without ■delaying the line until the permanent ■concrete and steel bridges were completed. Construction work to the west, Mr. ■Stewart stated, was being rapidly ■pushed ahead. A large steam shovel Iwas this week delivered at Fraser ■Lake over tbe ice, and this machine Iwould commence excavation as soon |ts its equipment could be assembled. Questioned regarding the proposed iange of route of the Pacific Great Eastern, the rai.way now ih course construction from the southern lend, between Vancouver and Prince ge, Mr. Stewart said that the application was made on finding (rom reports of the engineering staff |that the construction and mainten- of a line ot railway up the Fraser valley between Lillooet and Creek was impracticable. "The |liM could be built,." said Mr. Stew- "but it would he Impossible to ■maintain it after completion, owing |to the great height of the sheer cannons and cut banks below Soda jCreek." He intimated that the road Jwould traverse any practicable route Ion the east side of the Fraser until jit could reach the valley ot the river I »t a point where the grade could be J again constructed on its banks. In referring to the increase from h P« cent to 4 j per cent in the guarantee of interest on the Pacific Great Mr, Stewart said that this j*as a means adopted to insure the j notation of these securities at par I1** view of the condition of the money nwketa at this time. The flotation j"' the Pacific Great Eastern bonds, I waring as they do the guarantee of I ' Provincial government, should be rf receive|l. and he agreed with the interviewer, that any sale of these °w Dar would reflect upon the |cre«t of the province.

Ue stated that this place would be their headquarters until the completion ot construction. Construction work on the Pacific Great Eastern, Mr. Stewart said, would commence from this end before very long. Any plant which could be spared from the work of completing the ever shortening gap in tbe main line would be turned from here on to the work of grading the north and south road. Mr. Stewart is a man ot great energy. Coming over the long tedious sleigh Journey of over 200 miles from Hazelton, he rested here only one day before resuming his travel to the end-of-steel. He was thirsty for news of the happenings in the world outside, plying the interviewer with questions ranging from the war ln the Balkans to the revolution ln Mexico. It is the intention of Mr. Stewart's firm to bring the completed line Into Prince George, the G. T. P. town here, bs the end of the year. This was Mr. Stewart's statement. In any event, he said, the steel would be ln easy reaching distance by next fall. WESTERN BRIDGES GOMP' TED The big bridges over the Porphry and Boulder creeks east of Prince Rupert have been completed and the steel gang moved forward to trout Creek. The above named bridges are the largest on the western section of the G. T. P., If Skeena crossing is excepted, until the road reaches the crossing of the Telqua. The construction ot the Mud Creek bridge has been delayed on account ot the steel not arriving, but It Is expected soon. The grading of the road as far as Telqua is Just now nearlng completion. It has been planned by the big contractors, Foley, Welch ft Stuart, to delay the letting of contracts for the balance ot tbe road until spring, but this plan has been chanced, and the work Is now open all along the line. F. P. BURDEN'S RESIDENCE IS TOTALLY DESTROYED DYFIRETODAY Information reached this office this afternoon of the total destruction by fire of one of the most beautllul homes in the Northern interior, at Central Fort George, when the residence of Mr. F. P. Burden, ot that town, burned to the ground. Fire broke out in the basement of the building this afternoon at 2.15, and In less than half an hour the beautiful Burden home was a mass of smouldering ruins. Fortunate circumstances saved all the occupants of the house from harm, as the Infant daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Burden was out with a friend ot the family at the time when the fire broike out, and Mrs Burden, who discovered the blaze, was not aware of the disaster which threatened until the rooms which opened off the spacious central room were blazing fiercely. The terrific heat from the building prevented the saving of any ot the furnishings save the piano and a few odds and ends, and fighting the fire effectually was an Impossibility by. the time the alarm was spread. The Burden home stood near the bank ot the Nechaco river. It was a story and a halt building of a solid and comfortable bungalow type with wide veranda and large windows. The interior of the house was beautifully finished In woodwork, and the furnishings were brought trom Nelson at great expense. Aside from the heavy financial loss, Mr. and Mrs. Burden have lost all their personal effects, and the hundred and one objects of value peculiar to. the home. The sincerest sympathy is expressed by the people ot these communities to Mr. and Mrs Burden. In the cities such a loss would not be telt with such keenness, as lt ls not Impossible to obtain some desirable residence at short notice, but conditions in this country do not afford much choice in the matter of residences. The loss, we understand, Is ln the neighborhood ot $15,000 partly covered by Insurance. AMENDMENT TO THE LAND ACT MANY NEW TOWNS WILL H4VE BIRTH THIS YEAR IN THEWEST During the coming spring and summer a large number of new towns will be placed on the map of western Canada along the line of the G.T. P. railway, and the townsiteB will be opened to the public by the Transcontinental Townsite Co., the official agents of the railway, says a Winnipeg press despatch. While many ot these are still unnamed and by no means definitely located, over 40 have been finally decided on at present, and it is probable that all town- sites on the company's existing lines will be located and named tbis year. The new towns decided on are as follows: Main line—Willow River, which is already on the market, and two other unnamed towns to be situated, the one at the confluence of the Chil- ako (Mud) and Nechaco Rivers, and the other at the conxuence of the Stuart and Nechaco rivers.

Land WiU Now be Free to Settlers on Proof of Three Years' Residence and Compliance With Improvement Conditions—At Least Five Acres Must be Put Under Cultivation. WIN GOLD WAS KING fin HE OLD CARIBOO The following excerpts from the amendments to the Land Act show how the new rulings will affect the future pre-emptor. The clause which provides for the tree delivery of preemption lands reads as follows:— . "Section 18 of said chapter 129 is hereby repealed and the following is substituted therefor:— "18—Every person pre-empting surveyed or unsurveyed Crown land after the thirty-first day of March, 1913, shall, after the issuance of a certificate of improvement as provided in section 28 of said chapter 129, to be entitled to a free grant of such land upon payment of a Crown Grant fee of ten dollars." The ruling governing the issuance of certificate of improvement is more stringent than heretofore, and extends the time in which such certificate may be obtained from two to three years. This clause follows: "The first subsection of section 28 of said chapter 129, as the said section is amended by section 12 of chapter 16 of the statutes ot 1912, is hereby repealed, and the following is substituted therefor:— "28—A pre-emptor of surveyed land or of unsurveyed land when the survey thereof is effected, who has been in occupation of his pre-emption claim for not less than three years from the date of his record, Bhall be entitled to receive from the Commissioner a certificate, to be called a 'certificate of improvement,' in the Form No. 4 in the Schedule hereto, upon his proving to the Commissioner by the declarations in writing of himself and two other persons, or in such other manner as the Commissioner may require, that he has been in occupation ot his pre-emption claim from the date of the record thereof, and has made permanent Improvements thereon to the value of five dollars per acre, including the clearing and bringing under cultivation of at least five acres. Such declaration shall be In the Form No. 5 In the schedule hereto " In an interview in the Vancouver Province, Mr. J. Cumming, ot the 150 Mile House, on the days of the real "Old Cariboo" he tells some Interesting history of the days of the gold discoveries: "In the year 1862" he said, "I obtained employment trom the Cariboo Company, which held some claims on William's Creekf 'Cariboo Cameron' held one claim in his own name, his wife held another, and I held one for Cameron In my name, so that out of seven claims Cameron controlled three. I worked the claim I held for him and at the end of five months, when he was going to Victoria, paid over to him the results ot my total wash-ups, which amounted to a fraction less than $100,000. Mr. Cameron's wife died in the fall of the year, and no sooner was her death known than the claim held in her name was staked by nearly a thousand men. There was a real forest ot stakes, and I think that it they were all put together would have measured a good tat cord ot wood. "Cameron entered suit In the Supreme Court against these Jumpers, and when lt was tried before Judge Begbie, a decision was given ln his favor, with costs, which were heavy. The Judge gave the Jumpers a good dressing down. As I have said before, Cameron left Cariboo for Victoria, taking his wife's body with him. There he had it Immersed ln alcohol, to preserve It, as he was going to take it back east by way of the isthmus lor burial near her former home. "When in Victoria Cameron purchased another Williams Creek claim from tbe Clendennlnge, and also two side claims from the same brothers. Then he returned to Barkerville, but in eight months he left again, this time for good. As he now owned, five out ot the seven claims in the company, he was waiting tor the result ot a tew months' wash-up to pay his expenses. "You can form some idea ot the richness of the claim I held for htm, when I tell you that one day he came to me and said: 'Cumming, I wish you to get me two good pans of dirt, one I wish to send to my sister, and the other to Mrs Wattie. I took a pan and went Into the claim I was working for him and washed two pans of dirt. I found thirty two ounces in one and thirty six In the other. Of course I knew the claim was rich, but these pans of dirt were got from a thin streak of dirt which ran through the claim, about tour feet from bedrock. You can tajoe a candlestick in your hand and walk ln front of the streak and pick out the gold. Wattle was In charge of the company's Interests that year. "At last, at the end of eight months' clean-up 'Cariboo Cameron' quit us for good. It took Just eight paak mules to carry away his gold- dust. The consignment went to the coast under a guard well-known to Cameron, and they were well rewarded tor their services. When Cameron left Wattie took charge. He was a native of Valleyfield, Lower Canada, as It was then known. He worked the claims for one year, when I took charge. "When Cameron left the claims were Just opening up, and far more gold was taken out after he left. The dust taken out after Wattle too* charge was divided between himself and a Mr. Steele, who subsequently went Into cattle raising, and shortly afterward died. I worked the claims until we closed down in 1886. Wattie, who went east In the following year after Cameron, came out again a few years ago to report for some Montreal shareholders on Hobson's claim at Bullion. ■'A number of young men who owned claims above the Canyon where poor Dutch Bill was working, washed all the gravel on their claims, eight feet in depth, until they struck a thick clay bottom. Then they Btopped and went up to Antler, where they made nothing. After throwing up their claims on William's Creek, the ones with the clay bottom, I mean, a gambler named Abbot said to some of the beys: 'Come and we'll sink through the clay and see whether we can find anything there,' They did so, and struc'k pay dirt at once, g ng J100 to the pan, and sometimes higher. He sent back to Antler and got the boys down who had abandoned It and paid them good wages to work tor him. "Just below these claims was the Canyon, through which the waters ot William's Creek ran. This claim was taken by Dutch Bill, who discovered William's Creek, and after whom It was named. But unfortunately tor BUI his claim was worthless. Down what was supposed to be the old channel ot William's Creek, were several claims such as Black Jack, Diller and the Canadian Company. The last company paid high—it was rich. One claim gave to one pick, and a windlass, 102 lbs. in one day. This was the Diller. Conkin Gulch also paid big. The Erlcson Co., with four picks gave 1700 ounces ln a 24-hours wash. The Caledonian on William's Creak gave $16 to the pan, Dutch Bill didn't make much but he was a good prospector. EDMONTON DRUMMERS ARE TAKING ORDERS J. E. Thompson and J. F. McM illin. representing Marshall, Well-s & Co., of Edmonton arrived here this week by special stage with 600 lbs. of sample* These are the first represent! lives o Edmonton business bouses to visa our city for the orders of the local mercantile establishments. Mr. Thompson paid a visit to the town last summer, coming down the Fraser rivor from the head of navigation in a gasoline boat with Mr. Hood, a merchant of Tete Jaune Cache, who will open a store here Hhortly. Mr Thompson is general sales manager for the west for Messrs.' Marshall, Wells & Co., a hardware I rm doing business throughout the northwest, with head office in Detroit, M>cl\ The orders being taken now will be shipped from Edmonton over the Grund Trunk Pacific to thc end of steel as soon as the season of navigation opens about the first of May. The fact that they brought in samples ' indicates that this Edmonton firm believes in thoroughness. No coast firm has ever carried samples into the Cariboo, so far as is known, as the weight of these samples is very great. Charges involving their business methods and their seats on the Board of Trade have been filed in Chicago against Frank M. Bunch, tormer president of the Board, and Mark Bates. The accuser is John Hill Jr. The officials ot the board last week refused to reveal the charges further than to admit that they involved irregular dealings. The filing of the charges caused a sensation in the grain trade because of the prominence of the men involved. Bunch and Bates gave out a signed statement in which they said they would welcome an Investigation. '. V If '. M ■' I ' V •":■• :\ 1 '.. A n m ,*» V. """Z" «1 Ip ..

Devoted to the Interests of the Fort George District and the Northern Interior of British Columbia. Sokscrij'.ioi. $3.00 a Yeir io Advance Advertising Rates on Application Pacific & Hudson Bay Railway w»w NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVENI that " "udson Bay Railway y to the Parliament of Canada at its present session form the Pacific & Hudson Bay Railway Company will.apply to the Pa.liament The amendments to the Land Act introduced by the Minister of Lands will king important and timely changes into the land policy of the provincial government. The effect of the act will be the effacement of the large army of those pseudo-settlers we have referred to in these columns as "tinhorn pre-emptors," and will reward the settler who takes and cultivates a square half-mile of this fair province with a deed in fee simplelof this land as a reward for his labor, the total cost to him being only $12. The passage of the amendments places large power in the hands of the Minister of Lands, as in various sections the act has been rendered more elastic than heretofore with power reposed in the Minister to provide for contingencies which may arise in the disposition of the Crown lands. The only amendment we see to the clauses of the act referring to the sale of public lands in unreserved portions of the province is a rule to the effect that those who owe any balance of purchase money to the government, whether in the case of purchased or pre-empted lands, must pay in same to the Minister within six months from the date of a notice which will be published in the official Gazette, should such 1, ice appear, or lose their land. This is a good provision, to our way of thinking, as it does not appear to be good policy to permit those dealing in lands purchased from this province in large areas to operate "on margin," as such a condition.threatens to cheapen land values in British Columbia. We have received a communication from Mr. August Wolf, secretary of the Citizens' League of Edmonton, and publicity expert for that city. Mr. Wolf takes exception to an article which recently appeared in these columns regarding the negligent attitude of Edmonton towards the trade of this section. Mr. Wolf returns a retort courteous to a rather vigorouslattack we made upon his attitude in the matter, and we regret that his letter is personal rather than for publication. He states that the work of organizing towards securing the trade of this section is out of his province, but lies with the Edmonton Wholesale Merchants' Association, who have the matter in hand. Referring to his position Mr. Wolf states: "You must know that Prince George, as your future city will be known, has my best wishes for greatness and importance in all lines of commercial and industrial activity, and that personally I am in sympathy with every movement undertaken by your people. We want to be neighborly and good friends. Tell me what I can do." The position of The Herald in the matter is this: On July 29th, 1912, we wrote the Edmonton Board of Trade drawing their attention to facts in connection with the approach of the time when this place would look towards Edmonton for supplies. We received no answer from the board, but commenced to receive the weekly press service emanating from August Wolf's publicity bureau. We drew the conclusion that Mr. Wolf had the matter in hand. There has been absolutely no advance in the trade relations of the two cities to date other than the appearance of a stray traveller or two, except the trade which has been placed in Edmonton by the merchants here themselves. We have gone to Edmonton where Edmonton should come to us. Take the matter of forwarding and looking after the shipment of freight from the end of steel. Edmonton has done nothing towards the facilitation of this matter. Most of the mercantile houses that are buying material from Edmonton and other eastern points are sending in personal representatives to the steel-head to look after their individual shipments. There is no means at present of ascertaining the various business houses with whom the business men of this 1 are anxious to do business with at Edmonton.- The dc-airi nas no means of knowing what wholesale stationers sell print paper in Edmonton, for instance, and the many consumers of the various commodities required by any specific branch of business have not been notified of the existence of any Edmonton source of supply.

It has been suggested that a Game Protective Association be formed here to assist the wardens in protecting game from unsportsmanlike destruction and in bringing prosecutions against the illegal killing of game. Thero has been a noticeable lalling off in the game to be found in the Fraser valley during the past four years. With the advent of the G. T. P. construction the moose seemed to take to the hills, and they have probably discovered fields and pastures new in the valleys beyond. But there are many of these monarchs of the forest still to be found in the Fort George country, and instances present themselves at times showing that the game laws at present are not very strictly adhered to in these parts. It is not to be conceived that hungry pre-emptors or men in the woods will forbear killing when fresh meat is to be found roaming at large hard-by their doors, but the protection that is required is against the killing of the doe or the cow moose in the rutting season, A Game Protective Association could assist in conserving the wild game, and is a project worthy the support of all sportsmen.

I cannot give the valuation of lots jin 932, as the property was^with- (drawn from the market shortly after lit was floated. In my opinion, how- lever, I would say that this addition 1B „ b one. Lots in 932 should bring good figures at any time, as they are good holding property. I would advise you to withhold your lots from sale until the Indian reservation is on the market.

John MacDonell, agent. Dear Dan,-I like this place better every day and you couldn't pull me out of it. The rheumatism has completely left me and I never felt better in my life and can eat like a horse. I never saw better potatoes than I have seen grown here, and the largest carrots 1 have ever had the pleasure of seeing were grown here. The nice flavor of the vegetables and roots here was one of the first things which 1 noticed. A Mr. McDonald here grew over 100,000 pounds of potatoes thiB summer. I saw some No. 1 oats and wheat which was grown here, and the wheat was even a better variety than the oats. There is plenty of the finest land surrounding Port Fraser, and the location of the townsite and view from it is perfect. The appearance of the country generally, from a scenic point of view cannot be improved upon. At present there is on the townsite a sawmill, a branch of the Bank of Vancouver, hotel almost completed and will be open very soon, Government building which is a credit to the town, the Fort Fraser Investment Company, Dominion Stock & Bond Corporation agent and oflice and his residence, a drug store, postoffice shortly, and a great number of larger or smaller houses. The best openings at present are for n butcher, cabinetmaker to make furniture and run a furniture store, livery, restaurant, bakeshop, general stores and clothing store. In the spring there should be good openings for another grocery, hardware, poolroom, barber shop, jewellery, another sawmill, boarding house and rooms, tailor, dressmaker and probably several other lines. Taking conditions all around I am mote pleased every day that 1 came in here when I did. This is going to be a good town, and the man who gets in here first is going to do well. Hang onto what property you have here, Dan, and my advice to you is to get more of it. It is bound to come, and all I can say is that Fort Fraser is good enough for me.

The recent thaw flooded the Fraser river and the frosty weather lately has turned the flooded channel into several miles of splendid skating. Chas. E. McElroy left for the south yesterday to accompany Mrs. McElroy here from Ash:roft. Mrs. McElroy has been spending the winter in the eastern states. W. C, Ritchie, an Edmonton jeweller, arrived here on the last stage. Mr. Ritchie is looking over the ground here in view of the trade possibilities of the future. Logging operations on the Northern Lumber & Mercantile Company's timber land continue to progress. The LeBlanches have already landed over 600,000 feet of timber at the mill. Wayne Houston, an old-timer in Cariboo, and former proprietor of the Soda Creek Hotel, is relieving Al. Young as stagedriver between this point and Blackwater. Mr. Young has been laid up with lumbago, but is rapidly recovering. George B. McLaughlin, of the Northern Lumber and Mercantile Company, leaves Tuesday on a business trip to the coast cities and eastern points. He will be accompanied by Mrs. McLaughlin, who will spend several weeks with friends in the eastern states. Chief Constable Grundy, who left here some weeks ago with two prisoners for the Kamloops jail, has been transferred from this place to the position of chief constable at Lytton, on the C.P.R. This information is received here with regret. Constable Grundy proved himself to be a capable, efficient and conscientious officer in his work here, and the town regrets losing him. The skating committee announce that in the event of the weather not permitting the carnival to take place on the ice next Monday evening (24th) the affair will be turned into a masquerade ball in the Fort George Theatre. Present weather conditions would indicate that some weeks of skating weather may yet be expected, although the mildness of the weather at present prevents the flooding of the rink. The new Empress Hotel, at the corner of Fourth Street and Hamilton! Avenue, opens tonight for the accommodation of the public. The hotel has not been catering for the public patronage up to the present time,, but has now opened lte dining room and rooms for business. The Empress Hotel is a fine building, carefully designed and built with regard to the public requirements. The licence for the new hotel has not yet been issued, although it is expected daily. There appears to be no reason for delaying the issuance of this licence. The final details of arrangement for the Sheridan-Savoy fight were made this week when the $500 aide bet placed on Sheridan by his backers was covered by the people of Central Fort George. The match will be held in the Fort George Theatre on Monday evening, March 17th., and it is anticipated that a large hoUBe will witness it. Interest in the coming event is high hereabouts, owing to the known ability of both the contestants. The contest is purely an amateur event for amateur prizes. Preliminary bouts arc being arranged for by those in charge of the affair, and a good evening's sport ls promised the fans. The number of ringside and box seats is limited. Reservations for these seats can be made by 'phone to this oflice. Full particulars regarding the arrangements of the house will appear ln these columns next week. FORT GEORGE DRUG CO.

The Northern Development Company, Limited 403-404 Carter-Co Building VANCOUVER, B.C. WILLOW RIVER BRITISH COLUMBIA At the confluence of the Fraser, Salmon and Willow Rivers. The first town of importance to be established in Central British Columbia on the Main line of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway. By those who are in close touch with the true conditions, Willow River is regarded as being a town of future great importance in the heart of "Canada's Inland Empire." This fact, plus the fact that Willow River will be an important lumbering, mining and agricultural centre, makes property in this new town desirable from either a business or investment standpoint. Willow River property has been purchased by merchants and investors throughout Canada and United States. Although the town was only established October 16th, 1913, a number of lots have been resold at decided profits, while other purchasers refuse to . sell at even twice the prices paid. The business portion only of Willow River is now on the market—the survey of the residence portion has recently been completed and this portion of the town will be placed on the market in the near future. There are a limited number of lots available in the business portion at the original prices. Easy Terms. No Interest. Cleai and perfect title direct from the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway. The Original and Official Townsite of Willow River is located on Lot 785; Station Site approved by the Board of Railway Commissioners March 26th, 1912, Order No. 16179. REMEMBER THAT.
