C, SATURDAY, MARCH 22, 1913. $3 PER ANNUM MODERN HOSTELRY IS REFUSED LICENSE Conservatives Incenseck at the Refusal of Licence for the Empress Hotel—Government Criticised. A special meeting of the Conservative Association was held in the nre hall last Tuesday evening*. The meeting was called ,by the executive to take action in regard to the refusal of tfce application for a liquor licence made by the Empress hotel. This application received tne endor- sation of the association some weeks ago. In reply to the letter, recommending that the licence be granted, the association was notified by the attorney general that the licence was refused for the present. The only explanation offered was that "it was not considered in the public interest' to grant the licence." The meeting decided 4° ask the government to reconsider its decision in the matter. The sentiments,expressed at the meeting were of a nature calculated to disrupt the organization ot the Conservatives here for cause. It was pointed out that tbe government have studious.y ignored ths recommendation^' ot the association, and that its; usefulness was outlived. John A. Fraser, M. P. P. was severely criticised, and it w.as niticible that this criticism comes from staunch Conservatives. The Herald does not believe that, this criiticism is altogether justified in the present instance as the matter Was not placed, before the government in a manner which will warrant the blame resting upon him. Briefly, the eause tor complaint is tbis. In the assumption that if the terms ot the liquor licence act were complied with, they would obtain a licence in due course, Messrs. Nicht Is and Warkup, two hotel men, built the Empress Hotel, at the comer ot Fourth Street and Hamilton Avenue,, st a cost of aboui $26,000.00 Tbey bave applied tor a licence in regular form, and hate been refused. The town ls badly in need of h6tel accommodation, and fa view of the exceedingly heavy traffic which majr be expected here this summer the' decision appears grotesque. ' INDIAN OUTLAWS NOW ON TRIAL AT KAMLOOPS The preliminary hearing of the notorious Indian outlaws, Moses Paul and Paul Spintlum, who were surrendered to the law some weeks ago as a result of the co-operation ot th'' Indian chiefs, and who* are charged with three separate murders, the last being that of Provincial Constable Kindness while engaged in their pursuit was set for Wednesday last at Kamloops, where all details of the several tragedies will be gone into. The provincial police have, since the surrender ot the prisoners, been industriously engaged in collecting and systematizing the various scraps of evidence, tbis work, as the pursuit, is in charge ol Chief Constables Burr, Fernie and Forsythe all of whom will be in attendance at the preliminary hearing. v This will be before Mr. E. T. W. Pearse, government agent, at Kamloops, the crown being specially represented by Mr. A. H. MacneiU, K. C, of Vancouver, while Mr. A. D. Taylor, of Vancouver, has' been retained . to represent both prisoners. Tbe case for the crown is largely circumstantial and is not so strong as the authorities would have desired, being based chiefly upon the wanton shooting down ot Constable Kindness while he was courageously engaged in the discharge ot his duty. The work on the Indian'reserve has begun by the putting in ot cribbings along the shore to protect tbe grade. Plans tor the .construction oi the new Indian .village on .Reserve No.- 2, in the Goose country, have'been accepted. These'plans were executed by Mr. John Bronger, a local archetict. The steamboat captains engaged in the navigation of these inland watera are beginning to wend .their way north again to get their sternwheel- ers in shape for launching .-about, the first of May.1: The personnel ot the river feaptains tor the coming Mason is as follows: < Str.

GOVERNMENT OFFERS . TIMBER FOR SALE The government's new plan for the sale ot timber lands is a good one. It is now being' applied in the sale ot timber lands along tbe Fraser • iver between here and Tate Jaune. The circulars, sent to ' interested parties contain Information as follows: The timber ottered, for.sale ls within three miles of the Grand Trunk Pacific main line from the, Yellowhead'Pass to Fort George. It is within easy reach of one of the] best markets for lumber fa Canada.' The freight rate for lumber trom Tete Jaune to Edmonton is 25cts. Per cwt. The government is prepared to sell any amount from'1,000,000 to •■00,000,000 feet ot green merchantable timber. Tbey will also sell 6,000,000 feet ot timber fire-killed in 1912. This timber will, be, ottered for sale in quantities to suit prospective purchasers. Blue prints are furnished to interested parties of the sections in which they are interestd. Contractor Harry Carlton', who is building th'« grade from the bridge crossing «toKthe Fraser -Km*-lor.21 miles westward has already established his camps, A gang of his men we at work at ths mouth of the Mud river. There is wagered a considerable amount Of money upon the different opinions 'oi people as to when the steel will reach .this place from up- rive/. The contractors are the men in the best position to judge' tbis m«tter, and we have "heard them express opinions to the effect that the line will have reached a' point opposite Prince George by this time next year. This ls in ,11ns with the wafr* we have the matter sized up. Steel should be inf to Prince Oeorge be-- lose navigation opens nht spring. Contractor George Hardie, who', in addition to his right-of-way contract is in charge ot the building of the docks and warehouses on the railroad townsite, is now having a site tor the temporary camps cleared and tbe preparations made for the building of tbe docks and also the construction of Messrs,) Foley, Welch and Stewart's headquarters. Tbe site for this building has been chosen on the high land behind the low flat that the wharves are to tront. These, offices are practically a replica ot those at present occupied by the .headquarters camp up river. The building will go up on the brow ot the hill overlooking the river, at the head of Lot 1511, better known as Peden's island. This island, sold by the owner, Mr. Bussel Peden, to Messrs. Williams & Murdoff, of Vancouver, has been acquired by ths railway company and will be used for trackage. It is planned to fill the sloughs between the islands, and convert the by-channels of the Nechaco river into the main. channel. Material tracks from the cuts to the west, will run over the islands in a loop, and will dump the material from the cuts as outlined. The docks will not be ot pile construction, but these will be built out from tbe mainland by stone-fllled cribbings behind' which the material trains will make land. A large number of men are already at work, and the force will be augmented as the work goes forward. EDMONTON WHOLESALERS ARE KEEPING INFORMED Mr. A.G. Hamilton, accompanied by Mr. Wiggins, art" leaving Ashcroft today for this place. * Grading camps for Grand Trunk contractors have been established at Fort Fraser and there are at present abont fifty men at work building houses and bringing in supplies tor the season's work. It is the intention of the contractors to work Iff both directions from- Fort Fraser camps. The Board of Trade council of the city of Edmonton on the investigation of the Tete Jaune route (or use of representatives of Edmonton houses getting through to Fort George find that tbis gateway is not practicable until the opening of navigation on the Fraser river, says ths Edmonton Capital oi recent date. The commercial men will have to go through by way of Ashcroft on the C. P. R. as they have been doing heretofore. The secretary has obtained considerable information in regard to the business possibilities of Fort' George and has a list of all the places of business there, which is available to any member of the board who are interested. The i'lea has been prevalent among Edmontonians in general tbat this city was not making a very creditable effort to capture the Fort George trade, but the secretary of the board assures the people through the press that tbe business firms have been alive to the situation for more than a year,past and many of these houses have maintained representatives at Fort George for the past twelve months or more. As the place grows in importance other representative concerns will: have men on the ground to look after the trade and in a tew years it will be found tbat the mercantile interests of this city are being well founded in the Fort George district. SHEET-ANDPILLOWSLIP DANCE AROUSING GREAT INTEREST The dance tp be held on the evening ot April the first, under the auspices of the hockey club, promises to be the best yet. The dance itself will be the first of Its kind held in the distriet. Every dancer must be equipped with a sheet and a pillowslip. The sheet, will be worn as a costume thrown over the shoulders, over tha ordinary attire, and the pillowslip worn over the head with eye holes plsrced ln lt. This will 'make all the dancers appear alike ln costume. The interior decorations of the theatre and tbe novel lighting effects will be a feature of the occasion. SHERIDAN DEFEATS SAVOY IN SECONDROUND The, boxing match held in ths Fort George Theatre last Monday evening, •Bt. Patrick's Day, will long be remembered amongst th* sporting fraternity of the north,as a great event in their annals, and one which ^Ul never again be duplicated. Owing to the heavy, snowfall the house was not as large by halt as it would have been had the me» from the Jur**rlver wu^ps*.' been able to at- .tend the match without the, necessary discomforts ot the trip oyejf the snow-bound trails. In spite of "thla. bower, the attendance from lodtside points was large, aiid the audience nearly tilled the big theatre when time was called at 9 p. m. I There were present at the match every follower of sport from- far and n«r,Jand excitement ran higher than at any other event of a similar nature that the writer has ever attended. •"-" • .'•:.., 4,7J The - preliminary event, between George Allan and Ed. LeBranch, both of Fort George,, was a strong six- round-bout. Both min fought-hard, but neither, showed signs] of much' punishment, when the gong sounded at the end of ths sixth rpund. Ths decision Was a draw. , ■' The main event wm preceded by an announcement at ths 'request of Mr. Sheridan, to 'the' sfle^t *tnat the match would-constitute Ms j first and last appearance in the ring in this section. The announcement wfs fur-, ther made that SherioW •gWrnmat**' eur champion of the United States in the 1581b class. This'statement seemed to arouse amusement amongst those < who ,had never/take^ the trou- Me, to look UP hfs'cllin) to .tt|isv title. Mr. Sheridan, as a' raattar of fact, won tliis title in 'Boston on April tbe 9th. last year, when boxing in competition ' with tht' amateur champion of the States ot the Union tor the championship. Both men took their places at the sound of the gong. SaVoy smiled at his supporters and took his place near the men trom Fort George. Sheridan had his hands bandaged in ths ring. Op tbe call of time both men advanced warily, Savoy slightly crouched. The Fort George boxer opened tht round strongly on the offensive, seeking to land one of bis terrific swings on Sheridan. Sheridan blocked the heavy blows cleverly tor the first minute then commenced to lead himself. In the middle of the second round Sheridan first gave a showing of bis marvellous speed and style. His foot work was easy and graceful and his fighting poise was perfection. Fighting with his syes watching Savoy's teet Sheridan landed a succession ot terrific right and Isft straight punches to j Savoy's bead. He never swung, using straight punches With the weight of his body behind the bolws with terrific effect. The Gpng rang with Savoy on the ropes. The rou'nU was all Sheridan's. In the second round, wblcb.ended the tontest,, Savoy came; up gamely again and endeavored to land one ot his terrific swings. Barry in this found the excitement rose to a feverish pitch, when Sheridan, miscalculating his defence of a right swing, was knocked to his knees for a second, and or rising warily met the terrific Jettack of -Savoy by covering cleverly. In breaking •"•y from this attack Sheridan stalled hoping to lure his opponent into rushing him, then changing bis tactljes he forced ths fighting all over the ring! It was apparent early In ths first round thut Savoy Was badly outclassed, but the forced fighting in the second round showed Sheridan's style and heavy execution to the best advantage. Savoy fought gamely. The five ounce gloves had cut his face a little, but it was not until Sheridan landed a terrible lett under the heart that the end of the fight loomed up. This blow left Savoy banging on the ropes whilst Referee Fred Lucas counted bim out. After tbat punch it was good-night. Sheridan did not show a scratch after the contest was over, and beyond swollen lips and a bad eye Savoy appeared little the worse for the tray. Following is a statement of the receipts and expenditures in the contest: Total gate receipts 9862.00 Expenses: Savoy, training exs 160.00 Sheridan 150.00 Preliminaries 50.00 Bronger ft Flynn, carpenter work 73.00 Reflector :..„ 7.00 Theatre rental 20.00 Printing 16.00 Five per ct. promoters 48.10 CONTRACTORS BUSY ON 1STERN END Superintendent Sheppard Arrives Back in Hazelton After Long Trip to This Place Over the Wagon Road. Referring to the recent inspection tour of the G. T. P. line and grade the "Omineca Herald", published at Hazelton, says: Supt. J. C. Sheppard and D. A. Rankin arrived in town on Tuesday night, after a trip to Fort George ln company with J. W. Stewart and J. L. Retail ick. These tour railroad men made the first trip from New Hazelton to Fort George, driving the entire distance, that has ever been made. The distance is three hundred miles and they made it in Just six days. Mr. Rankin and Mr. Retallick arrived first aud the other two were immediately behind them. An average of 50 miles a day Ib some travelling with a team, but the distance was covered in spite of a runaway which occurred the second d^y cut. The weather was fine all the time and the sleighing was the best; Two or three days were a little cold but no one suffered any discomfort. Mr. Stewart was particularly interested in the work being done along the grade, and this was his first trip over the country lying between the east and west end of the contract. On the other side ot Burns Lake there is not much work being dons and 4here will not be a great many men employed until tbe rails are extended at least a hundred miles beyond this town. For tbe most, part the work beyond Burns Lake is light and will be finished as soon as ths heavy rock work and the big fills at Burns Lake. Just this slds of Fort Fraser John Bostrom has a camp and he now has his steam shovel working there. The rest of ths contractors will get busy in the summsr after navigation opens and the rails carry the supplies up to the summit or beyond. '.'•'' "VI v , ' 14 NEW TOWNS ON CAFAIANLu I.

Mxn>li« $3.08 i Ytu is AhiM A-Jmtaint RltM M AspBcttiN Most of the ministers of the McBride government are strong men—but they are not diplomatic. There is little room for argument. Politics have apparently not progressed far enough in British Columbia to allow the fine art of diplomacy to soften the adverse judgment in cases of the refusal of public requests. In assured positions of vast authority some of the heads of departments in Victoria seem to ignore the inevitable results which must obtain from their actions, which, presumably are justified, when important public requests are dealt with by them through the issue of sterotyped refusal with no further explanation in justification of the attitude taken than that invaluable old aphorism "IT IS NOT CONSIDERED IN THE PUBLIC INTEREST." We believe that in the case of the refusal of the licence to the Empress Hctel here under the time-honored phrase, that the Attorney-General's department must be moved by strong motives, before such a decision would be arrived at in a case which presents such an exactly opposite view to that which the government advance as their excuse for the refusal. Here is a town 300 miles from a railway which is on the verge of being invaded by a vast army of people of all classes following the construction of the Grand Trunk Pacific railway, and the great development which this vast undertaking brings to this favored spot. Accommodation in the town is at present hard to obtain, and when navigation opens this condition will be acutely felt. How then can it be advanced as an excuse that "it is not in the public interest" to grant a licence to a hotel, built at a large expenditure, when the statement will pass without contradiction that without a licence the house must necessarily be a losing proposition. It would indeed be unfortunate for a popular, elective, partizan government having attained such a measure of strength and justified intrepidity as that possessed by the McBride administration in British Columbia, were the grievances which arise between the constituents throughout the land and the departments of the government allowed to fester through want of attention. That dftimes these grievances, growing out of treatment which must bs construed as discrimination or badly conceived decisions in the circumstances, must awaken impulses in the electorate which have a serious and destructive effect upon the confidence of the masses towards the administration, as the inevitable result of such unsettled grievances, and it is in view of circumstances whhh ccn'orm to this condition that The Herald offers the above criticism of a ch in of event which have led to much open comment upon the attitude of our members, and of the government, in the public meeting of the South Fort George Conservative Association. That South Fort George is to have an hospital of its own ii at lut assured, and it is not strange in this essentially western town that the movement for this important adjunct to our development finds its inception in the presentation of the purse won by the clever amateur boxer, Mr. Arthur Sheridan, towards tbis worthy cause. Appreciating the gift of the man whose exhibition of wonderful skill in the roped square aroused the enthusiasm of every man who attended the contest last Monday evening, two public spirited citizens have come to the front with contributions of duplicate amount to the purse presented by Mr. Sheridan. It is unnecessary to dwell upon the necessity of an hospital here. Every day there are sick men seeking to regain their health in the hotels and bunk houses of the town, where proper attention and hygienic surroundings can not be secured, and where the spread of infection in the case of any infection goes unhampered The Herald has started a subscription list to immediately collect a sufficient sum to enable the enterprise to go forward without hindrance.' THE COAST PRESS AND THEWILO-CATS Bob Edwards Scores the Vancouver Papers for Assisting Wild-Catters in There Promotions. Every project of any account in Vanvouver, with a few rare exceptions, is started on a shoestring, declares Bob Bdwara in the Calgary Bye Opener. There is more con work, scheming, tour-flushing, and bogus promoting In Vancouver than there ls in any city in Canada. In worthless floatations the promoting fraternity are ably assisted by several local newspapers which are conducted by men who are only too willing to sacrifice the public and help rob their own citizens, provided they "get their bit" out of lt through the medium of lavish advertisments ud misleading write-ups, payment for the latter usually being included In the terms of the advertising contract. Vancouver, however, ln spite ot this undesirable class, is destined to become a great city. There can be absolutely no doubt about this. One of her chief claims to tarns is that she returns all Conservative members to Legislature and Parliament. Dies McBride has nothing to tear politically (rom Vancouver so long as the Liberal cause is championed by such weak and irresponsible journals as tbe World and the Sun. These papers have a talr telegraphic service, but that lets them out. There also used to be a grit weekly paper ln Vancouver called the Sunset, but it fell flat somehow and never seemed to quite catch on. It may be running yet for all we know. TO CURE THH WHITE PLAGUE The government ot British Columbia, through Hon. Dr. Young, head of the active department ot Public Health, has transmitted to Dr. Prl- edmann, the well known German physician, whose new treatment tor tuberculosis ls at pressnt engaging ths special attention of ths world of science, a cordial Invitation to visit this province and conduct his western American experiments or demonstrations at tbe Tranqullle Sanitarium.

The Pacific and Hudson Bay Railway are apparently getting down to business, and it may be expected that this road will have survey* parties in the field in the spring. This railway has reserved lands in the Willow river townsite. Borne time ago we stated, in answer to an enquiry in these columns, that the townsiles of the G. T.

Tbe town- sites, we find, are separated only by one mile of tin-subdivided land. The townsite ot the Pacific Bond and Land Corporation ls on the Fraser river at the mouth- of the Willow. The G. T.

Placer Fields m The Extreme North of Province Causing Rush to New Diggings in British Columbia. Old-time prospectors, now In' Vancouver, are anxiously awaiting from former comrades some tangible confirmation ot the report ot the discovery of a new rich placer field on Johnson and Silver creaks, approximately 30 miles north of Kablin telegraph station, ln tbe extreme northern part ot British Columbia. Stirred by report ot the new field many prospectors have already left Seattle on the steamer Jefferson en route to the gold-bearing field which last September caused a spectacular rush from Atlin. Undeterred by the story of hardship ami privation suffered by. Perry Delo, William. Swanson and Ernest Ludwlck, who almost perished in a daring attempt to.reach the diggings in winter, the adventurers who left Seattle hope to cross the expanse -of frozen and snow-covered ground be** tors all available claims in the region are staked by man already ln the field. Some Vancouver men, experienced in placer mining stampedes, are skeptical lest the rush be mads In vain, friends of "Johnson, alter whom Johnson Orsek was named, Frank Jackgon jBCk Pimng Mi John ^at. son, prospectors, well known among mining men, are now wondering why no confirmation of the alleged find »s been received Irom thsm. working in the far north nectton for several years, ana there is a general belief that were they possessed of information confirming the story they would notify their friends in Vancouver: Pilhng is rep0I.tea to hav<j informed friends that no more is known about the new field by men on the ground than has become known through the recent announcement of the field, by Skookum Jim, and the part taken by Delo and his companions in the midwinter stampede from Atlin. Atlin was reposing in its winter quiet when first report of the purported strike reached the recording centre of the district through the arrival of forty Teglin Indian trappers who recorded claims and then quietly left the place without making any display of gold recovered from their claims. Tbe action of the trappers naturally aroused curiosity and the white men began a hurried investigation They learned that Indians along the Stikine river were talking of a new gold strike, and that prospectors were pushing northward from Telegraph Creek territory, following rumors of a strike having been made a little more .than a hundred miles to the north. Following the scanty information gleaned from the rumors and the descriptions, filed .by the Indian trappers of the Teslin and the Thaltan tribes, Delo and his associates quickly gathered together a few supplies and pushed eastward to the creeks where the Indians had staked their ground. A few weeks ago Skookum Jim, of Klondyke fame, reached Seattle in search of qeorge Oarmack, his relative and old-time partner. They immediately began preparations for a spring trip to the new field and are amongst those who left Seattle recently. Wiiliam Berryv prospector, who received a telegram from a partner at Atlin advising him that the strike is richer than first reported, hastened preparations to join bis associate. Although the reports of the trip of Delo and his comrades who left Atlin December 22 and reached the new district January 4th., Indicated that a great number ol claims had been staked, old-timers believe ■-here yet is time to participate ln the first "outside" rush. <* Already old-timers in Vancouver ire considering ths best and quick- "st Way to reach Nahlin. The general opinion prevails that outfitting at \tlin does not Offer the most satls- 'actory plan, as persons desiring to -make the journey can .outfit In Vancouver and Journey by steamer' to Wrangel. Although the Ice does not oermtt * of Hudson's Bay Company steamer traffic on the Stikine river. Indian freighters are available, and it 1b considered possible that Telegraph Creek can be reached In about three days. By travelling at night and taking advantage ol the frost it ls said, the northern bike to Nahlin could be made in approximately tour days. From this point it is considered to be a journey ol two days or' less to the new diggings. What We Have We Hold FORT FRASER/Central British Columbia, has the ideal ' townsite" location on the entire line of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway in British Columbia. : : : : It has also many natural resources"and advantages not possessed by other townsites.

Railways Assist Government. An important conference upon the matter of forest protection along the lines of operating railways ln the west has just closeed at Winnipeg, the British Columbia Department ol Forestry having been represented thereat by Mr. R. H. Benedict ot the headquarters staff and the parties to the convention being tbe federal Board of Railway Commissioners, the Province of British Columbia, and the Canadian Pacific, Grand Trunk Pacific, Canadian Northern and Great Northern railway companies. General protection ot timber along the rights-of-way was ot course the theme of discussion. The patrol system Inaugurated by this province last year was reported to have proven generally satisfactory and will continue this season with slight variations where large bodies ot timber Justify more thorough patrol. Last year every mile of right-of-way was inspected by the provincial officers and the regulations strictly enforced to guarantee the safety ot near forests and due payment of royalty tor timber cut on crown landsi The work of inspection Is pecullary onerous ln connection with construction operations and, on the whole the provincial officers have been well supported by the railway companies. The .rule has been laid down that everything cut without permit is considered to constitute a trespass, and where timber Is cut'With or without permit, the brush must be properly disposed ot without delay. The system of handling this inspection work on all lines under provincial jurisdiction and, control is to have it performed by the provincial officials and the cost collected from the railway companies. In the case of the Grand Trunk Pacific (a Dominion-controlled undertaking) the company bat been paying one-half of the fire protection costs, and this arrangement, the company's, representative ttated in tht Winnipeg convention, they art willing and anxious to continue, FORT GEORGE LAND DISTRICT.
