<^- ^ ^ W v^ VOL* 3, NO. 39. SOUTH FORT GEORGE, B. C, SATURDAY, JUNE 7, 1913. $3 PER ANNUM . •. HI ROYAL BANK BF CANADA TD ERECT NEW OFFICE Fine Structure for Fourth and Hamilton-Many ern Features. to will lie seen by the advertising columns, the Royal Bank of Canada is calling for tenders for a new hank bullillng to be erected on the northwest corner of Fourth Street and Hamilton Avenue. Since Hie opening of the South |,\„*t tleorge branch, three years ago, the bank has occupied premises in the Fort George Timber and Trading Company's building on Second street. Foi nmre than a year the growing business of this well-known financial institution has been inadequately housed and with the enlargment of the staff Manager Seaman has been under decided disadvantages. Plans for the new b'ildlng which will be completed at once, call for a structure 40x25 of two storeys and concrete basement. Modern plumbing will be installed and the building will we wired for electricity. The basement will be the full size of the building. The large bank vault will have all the latest burglar and fire proof features, making it the most modern on its kind in the Northern Interior. The decision of the directors of the Royal Bank to build a modern office structure in South Fort George is only another proof of the town's importance, and faith in its permanency. Mr. H. C. Seaman, local manager, has from the town's inception, pinned his faith to its growing importance and it is encourage- ing to the citizens and to Mr. Seaman to witness the director's en- dorsation of that belief. MORE BUILDINGS FOR INCREASING POPULATION ON G.T.P. TOWNSm BE ON THE EASTERN PORTION Vice-President Donaldson Tells Deputation of Business Men Something of the Transcontinental Company's Plans Regarding Prince George-This Will be Important Divisional Point if Plans of the Company Are Not Interfered With-Impossibility of Station Site Ordered by Dominion Railway Commission at Recent Sittings. E. W. Enoch, late of Edmonton, arrived here on the boat last week, and has purchased Lot 16, Block 15 on Third Street, on which he will build a three storey rooming house ol thirty rooms. The dimensions of the building are to be twenty-four by fifty feet. Mr. Enoch states that the work of trocting the building will commence In about one week's time. Speaking ol South Fort George, Mr. Enoch states that he likes the town, and intendB to Btay here, although his visit was not for the intention of permanently locating. Another new rooming house is now being built on a lot near The Herald office on Fourth Street, by Mr. G. Davis, of Fort George, and yet another ia approaching completion on filth street, between Hamilton and Laselle. The ever increasing population of tbis town demands greatly increased accommodation, and the present building activity comes opportunely in this respect. Already the lumber companies are working their plants to their capacity, and the stocks of °>y lumber In their yards have diminished to an alarming extent. The business centre of South Fort George, and of the whole Fort George district, is at present concentrated on the north-eastern sec- Won of this townsite. It is slowly •Weeding over the whole ol the flat [ying to the east of Fourth Street, however. The Royal Bank of Canada « now calling for tenders for tbe construction of its new bank premises on the corner of Fourth Street and Hamilton avenue opposite the impress Hotel, and other building activity marks the commencement of a 'arge development for that long, wi(le thoroughfare, which, in time, Wl'l Probably form the main business street of this town. George Hardie, the well known contracor who has been working ,vest ot this point on the clearing of "Kht-of-way, was appointed Superintendent of construction here for the contractors, Messrs. Foley, Welch & Stewart. We congratulate M. Hardie °n the occasion, The Steamer Conveyor, which arrived here from the end-of-steel last Saturday, brought down Mr. Morley Donaldson, vice president and general manager of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway, who is the first official of that company to visit this place. Hitherto the visits of railway men of prominence to this place, have been restricted to the engineering and contracting force, whose work carries them ahead of the steel. That was until Mr. Donaldson's private car landed at Tete Jaune last week, and connected with the Steamer Operator, with 300 mlles of navigable river giving access to Fort George. Mr. Donaldson is a man of action: He does not believe in the arm chair method of running a railway, and being at the end of steel, he determined to investigate conditions here personally. A deputation of South Fort George business men waited upon Mr. Donaldson, shortly after his arrival, as he watched from the deck of the Conveyor, the operation of unloading a huge steam shovel. With him was Mr. Collingwood Schreiber, the veteran chief engineer of the Dominion government. Mr. Donaldson made ready response to a request for the delegation for information regarding the townsite situation here as seen from the viewpoint of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway. Asked regarding the opinion of the railway company with reference to the action of "the location of the depot site at a point beyond the site selected for It by the railway company's engineers, Mr. Donaldson stated that the case would be appealed. He explained that the large development work which had to be undertaken by the railway company along its line, as, for instance, the construction of hotels, was not provided for by the stock-holders subscriptions. This work, he stated, was done out of revenue derived from subsidiary companies of the railroad, and principally out of the sale of townsites. It was the intention, Mr. Donaldson stated, to establish at this place an important divisional point on the system of the Grand Trunk Pacific. It would be, he stated, if their plans were fulfilled, the most imporeant point on their line between Edmonton and the coast. The Grand Trunk Pacific had laid out their townsite, said Mr. Donaldson, and had placed the location of their depot thereon where the engineers had stated it should be, and having considered Its position in the system of yards which the railway company will utilize here. The company had not doubted that the railway commission would approve the site they had chosen, as the location at the point designated by the commission was not at all adaptable for the purposes of the public. The judgement of the commission In this case came with as great surprise to the railway company as lt did to the public at large, _■ That the location of the depot, as at present ordered, will be hopelessly out of the way of the main trend of development, was forcibly demonstrated by his remarks on the subject. Mr. Donaldson spent sometime in going thoroughly over the situation here. He walked over the Natural Resources Security Company's sites, to which he laughingly referred to as "Hammondville," and he also thoroughly inspected the splendid townsite property of the railway company on the old Indian Reserve, and the Hudson's Bay property and South Fort George townsite im-. mediately to the south. "The development on our townsite," he said, "will be east and south, and not west." The land to the east and south adapts Itself well to the in-1 ahead on which a ninety dustrial and commercial development shovel can be loaded. ton steam of the future city." The large shops and round houses of the railway company would be located on the eastern portion of the railway townsite north of the tracks, and the construction of the large hotel and other important development work will take place on the eastern section of the townsite. The waterfront of the properties along the Fraser river affords excellent docking facilities, and, said Mr. Donaldson, the milling operations which he anticipates will centre here would also doubtless find their best locationon the main river. The banks location on the main river. The banks aldson showed, are high and steep, and will be cut across with the line of the Grand Trunk Pacific. Mr. Donaldson stated that in his opinion the interests of the people of South Fort George had not been properly considered before the recent hearing. The people of this town, he stated, were obviously entitled to a large consideration from the commission. He advised the delegation upon a line of action to pursue ln order to assist in securing a reversal of the railway commission's decision. The railway company will fight this depot location to the court of final appeal. it, Mr. Donaldson stated that he was very agreably impressed with the situation and appearance of the Grand Trunk townsite. The site, he stated, was excellently adapted for tbe purposes of the railway company's development company, which planned to make it one ot the most beautiful western Canadian cities. During the interview Mr. Donald- Bon stated that the real permanent location of the depot would rest largely in tbe hands of the population of this place, for, although tbe company would have to obey tbe llaw In this matter, the people of the future city would be able to alter the location if it proved inconvenient. There will be a large population here within a few years, said Mr. Donaldson, and these1 people would be located largely on tbe Fraser river end of the townsite lands here. The townsite was to be laid out exactly as originally planned and until the depot site was settled the only highways giving access to it will be those ' which are in that vicinity on the old plan. Mr. Donaldson talked freely upon all manner of subjects relative to the future importance of tbis place, and, in referring to tbe injustice done to the people of South Fort George, he spoke forcibly and with feeling. Mr. Donaldson entertained the delegation in the dining saloon of the big boat after the interview, And a toast was drunk to tbe tuture of the town here, and the success ot Prince George. This Is the first time the big boats which last year were engaged In moving supplies and machinery between Tete Jaune and the Grand Canyon, have made the 300 mile trip from the end-of-steel to tbis place. Last winter, whilst the boats were laid up on their ways at Dome Creek the end-of-steel moved far down tbe river along the route which tbey bad supplied for this very work. The Conveyor lay at Carlton's camp on tbe Nechaco river when the writer saw her. On the main freight deck a seventy ton steam shovel was being unloaded in preparation for the work of digging its path across tbe high banks ot tbe Nechaco river west trom the Grand Trunk townsite. Across the!bow ot the boat was a completely assembled "dinky" engiine, and besides the machinery tbe freight deck had room tor thousands of pounds of supplies. The huge river boats are beautifully kept up and appointed. The big engine room reflected tbe radiance of the electric lights from the polished steel and braes work, and in the bows the huge locomotive type of boiler supplies steam to the expansion engines. With these craft navigating the river between here and tbe end of steel the problem of railroad con- construction appears easier to the people who stand by and watch lt, and the prediction made here this week by Vice President Donaldson, of the G. T. P., that the whistle ot their locomotives would be beard here tbis fall, promises to be fully realized. MORE DROWNINGS OCCUR ON UPPER REACHES OF FRASERJ1VER Two More Victims Reported During Past Few Days. List Is Appalling. Another terrible drowning accident occurred since we went to press last week with a list ot accidents of a similar character which had occurred to that date. Tbis time the Grand Canyon, 100 miles up stream from this point, was the scene of an accident, last Monday In' which Alma St. John, a well- known young man on the Fraser river, and an expert river man, was dr/wned with three others when a scow went to pieces whilst running the canyon. Not many details are forthcoming, but it ia reported that the scow on which six men were running the canyon, broke up ln the swift water and tour were drowned. Anothet drowning accident was reported here on Thursday last, when a man tell off the back end ot a raft and never reappeared. The matter Is becoming terribly serious, and, unless tbe government do some immediate protection work, tbe Fraser river will claim hundreds of victims until the ice covers it up again next winter. AMUSEMENT COMPANY WILL OEJROORESSIVE First-class Talent Has Been Secured and The&tre Will Open Next Month. contractors: boats rringj1g cargoes The Steamers Operator and Conveyor,' Foley, Welch & Stewart's big transportation craft, descended the Fraser river from the upper reaches where they have been operating since they were built at Tete Jaune last Saturday night. These boats are the same craft 'that the contractors used for transportation on the Skeena river, and they were dismantled after the steel had reached the head of navigation on that river, and were placed In commission on the upper Fraser last summer. Each boat has a capacity of about one hundred and seventy five tone, and can navigate easily with a scow TOMMY BURNS SUES FOR LIBEL Representatives of the crown, who have been conducting tha investisgtion into the death of Luther McCarty, claimant of the heavyweight championship, who was killed in the prize ring at the Burnt arena, Calgary, are gathering a mats of evidence that will be presented when the cases of Arthur Pelkey and Tommy Burns are called to trial. That Burnt, promoter of the fight in which McCarty met his death, and Pelkey, whose blow early in the first round of the tight resulted in the fatality, will have to face trial for manslaughter, was the most startling of the several development! that followed in rapid succession the rearresting of Pelkey after tha coroner's jury had failed te accuse him. Meanwhile Manager William McCarney and Referee Eddie Smith are out on $500 bail each to appear as witnesses when the eases are tried. Another development wu the filing by Burnt of a suit for criminal libel againtt a minister of the city who it alleged to have denounced the promoters of the fatal fight at "murderers who should be deported." Burnt taid he would alto file suits againtt several other ministers who are taid to have attacked him in a like manner in their termons. PEDDLERS NUMEROUS Peddlers of the ancient and honorable tribe that originated in Je.ualem a long time ago, but whom have tinea been distributed over the face of tha globe promiscuously, have been visiting South Fort George frequently of late. Some of thete men carry large ttockt of diamonda and lingerie, and cater to the credulout for the tale of diamond!. One of thete men left town recently with several thousands of dollars from the tale of diamonds, which a man in the business has assured The Herald are not what they are represented to be. This matter should be looked into in the interests of the business houses here. The Northern Interior Amusement Company, owners of the Fort George Theatre on Fourth Street, have completed arrangements for the opening of their big theatre which from the date of the first performance to be given as soon as their electric plant it installed, will be run continuously. The management hat been fortunate in securing the tervices of Mr. C. P. Deykin, the well known Vancouver manager. The house will be run as a moving picture show and vaudevillev house, and complete electrical equipment of the most approved type it now on the way here from San Francisco. Manager Deykin hat already secured the services of Miss Maud Dain, of London, England, a well known pianist, who hat wide experience in Europe and America. Arrangement! are now pending to aecure the services of Mademoiselle Velerie, the noted French violinist, and the management will consider themaelvei fortunate if they can book tbis charming and talented artiste, who is well known on the vaudeville itage of three continents. Manager Deykin is even now negotiating with many wall-known coast artists, a list of whom will appear in these columns later. The management will endeavour to give tbe opening performance on July tbe first. Tbe South Fort Oeorge Theatre is the largest abow house in the northern interior ot B. C, and has a seating capacity ot five hundred people, and the high celling and ample space allow the beet ot ventilation. Comfortable chairs avoid overcrowding, and tbe theatre, being built with balcony, boxes and sectional floor space will aflord a .choice ot seata. The management will endeavour to stage tbe best of shows through the season, and the owners ot the theatre will add tbe latest equipment to the bouse aa circumstances Justify. The work ot building tbe engine room, and the construction of a fire proof ventilated operating room tor tbe two picture machines which will avoid long waiting between films, ls being done. Contractor McPherson, who ls clearing the Grand Trunk Pacific townsite here, has now over 100 men at work. The whole townsite will be cleared by the first of July. Green Bros. 4 Burden, who have the contract of surveying tbe townsite, will commence work on Monday next. , *'] '*! « ''■ii** ht , ! ' f It tt ■ ■ 1 lit i ..''

Sikoittin $3.00 I Yor iu Advuce Adiirtisim Rates on Application THE visit of Mr. Morley Donaldson to Fort George, marks the first official inspection of the townsite situation here by one of the directors of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway Company. Lt is gratifying to note that the effect of this visit will be to help to destroy the insiduous work of outlying townsites' advertising experts, for Mr. Donaldson possesses, not only very marked views on the whole townsite situation here, but he is now in possession of first hand information of the actual face value of the various townsites, some of which he has seen stripped of the false prosperity and active development which their advertisements only represent in them, and has appreciated the hopelessness of their actual future valuations. The Grand Trunk Pacific Railway Company are now actually commencing the work of surveying their townsite on the Lndian reservation. They have announced a fact which has for years threatened to precipitate a panic amongst the lot-holders in the townsites lying to the west of their townsite land by stating that their development work will be concentrated on the eastern portion of the Lndian reservation, directly north of the townsite of South Fort George on the Fraser river, and at a considerable distance from the townsites to the west. This, as The Herald has always maintained, should have the effect of destroying the value of the outside subdivisions as business property. The promoter, through whose lavish expenditure, a small "business centre" has been created on these outlying sites, will now scarcely be able to realize his ambition to induce any representative business element to assist the future growth of his vaunted "business centre." That the fear of a far removed centre of development has always existed with the promoters of the outlying sites, is thoroughly evinced by the fact that they fought hard in an endeavor to block the sale of the eastern portion of the Lndian reservation to the G.T.P, when the negotiations were first opened with the Indians. The doubt, misrepresentation, and strife which has existed in regard to townsites in this section was born of the uncertainty which surrounded the whole townsite area. This situation was taken full advantage of by the promoters offering for sale properties which they represented as possessing the highest features of attraction to prospective investors as present and future business property. This state of affairs has reached its height, and is now to be supplemented by the march of events which will ■hatter a lot of carefully created false impressions, and will anchor development in its natural channels and lead misguided investors into the light. The promoters are taking fullest advantage of the fact that, through an extraordinary chain of misrepresentation on the part of the applicants, and over-confidence on the part of the opponents to an application before the Railway Commission, a station has been ordered at a point on the Grand Trunk Pacific townsite closer to the outlying subdivisions of the Natural Resources Security Company than the railway company wish to place it. This is being represented by the man Hammond, who engineered the application, as a "double victory" against the G.T.P. At the hearing before the commission it was evident that the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway had not given the promoter credit for the ability he possesses to prepare a case which presents itself with forcible appeal that can only be destroyed by intimate knowledge of the actual situation here, and by the process of analysis used in separating the gold from the dross. The Grand Trunk Pacific Railway have, through their general counsel, notified all the counsel representing the Hammond interests, that the railway company will appeal against the decision of the Railway Commission to the Governor-in-Council. That it will be in the interests of every person holding townsite property in any of the townsites here to see that the matter is properly presented may be gathered from the following statement mide to The Herald by President Chamberlain of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway : .'•>.- "Moving the station to a point designated by the Railway Commission will destroy the terminal so far as a divisional point is concerned, and if order is sustained will necessitate our abandoning Prince George as a divisional point and moving either east or west.from that location." The Herald predicts, however, that the decision in this matter will be reversed when the application comes before the Governor- in-Council, but in the meantime, through the extensive advertising of the "double victory" the purpose of the promoter will doubtless have been served, by the impetus lent to the unloading of a large number of his unsold 25-foot lots. Their purchasers have our sympathy in advance. "THE blow that killed McCarthy," says the Edmonton Bulletin, editorially commenting upon the tragedy at Calgary on Victoria Day, "ought to be the death-blow to prizefighting in Alberta. Prize-fighting is a brutal and brutalizing occupation. Lt consists of pounding another man's constitution into ruin, or having one's own constitution battered into ruin, for money. "It is also a business by which the fight promoter amasses wealth at the physical cost of men who are willing to pummel each other for a share in the dollars which can be extracted from those who are willing to pay to witness the exhibition. "It is likewise the means by which a raft of bums and loafers pick up a living which they are too lazy to work for. "The basis of the business is the fact that people will flock to see a fight, just as they will flock to see a' battle—not that the majority of them approve either a fight or a battle, but that they ' want to see what is going on' and that the fight or the battle more wholesome form oi detainment. "Alberta can get along without the prize-lighter, the fight promoter and the hanger-on, and the majority of the people in the province would like to see this trio sent elsewhere. If the laws provide the legal scope necessary to put a.stop to these so-called ' boxing contests,' it is up to the officers of the law to exercise their power. Lf the law does not give the officers this power it is time the laws were changed." WANTED. Monoline Operator, male or female. Good wages and union conditions. Apply Herald, South Fort George, B.C.

Two thousand men are working on the Pacific Great Eastern grade be* tween Newport and Lillooet and several hundred more men will be put to work within the next few weeks. The men are scattered along the line. Most of them are working at either the Newport or Lillooet end and a comparatively small party are clearing the route for the construction of the grade near the middle of this section. The railway is making every effort to hasten construction work. Hazleton Herald: The North Coast Land Co., of Vancouver, has this season set out a number of apple trees on a couple of pieces of land they own in the Kitwangah district. The land was cleared over a year ago and the experiment is being made with the apple trees. If successful more land will be cleared and more apple trees of different varieties, as well as other kinds of fruits, will be tried. The North Coast Land Company own large tracts of land in this district, and they are now doing development work which will prove to the world what these lands are particularly good for. The company is working out an extensive policy for the development of the northern interior of British Columbia. The Enterprise ranch at 141-Mile House, Cariboo district, owned by J. P. Murphy, has been sold to a British nobleman, the consideration being over $100,000. The new owner purposes engaging in stockraising on a very extensive scale. The ranch is one of the shew places of the district. It consists of 2,500 acres, a large portion of which is under cultivation, the remainder comprising wild hay meadows and cattle ranges. The ranch was located by Dennis Murphy, father of J. P. Mur- phs, in 1861, and has been in possession of the family ever since. It is stocked with 400 head of cattle and forty horses, which now pass into the possession of the new owner, who has also purchased three adjacent ranches. Thoroughbred stock, both horses and cattle, will be imported from England. Announcement is made in Edmonton by P. C. Bernard Harvey, commissioner of Dominion parks, that two buffaloes from the national reserve atWain- wright, Alta., where more than 1,200 head of American bison are quartered, will be sent to Ireland this month for exhibition at the zoological gardens in Dublin. The animals, the pick of the large drive, which includes the famous vey has received a dozen applications from men in various parts of the province to accompany the shipment to Ireland. M. McTaggart, superintendent of the reserve, reports that the herd is increasing rapidly. Ninety calves were dropped in March and April and at least 200 more are expectod this spring. The buffaloes are in good condition. ■ ANNOUNCEMENT. DR. H. S. SIMMONS, Dentist, of Vancouver, B.C., is in Quesnel.

Advices received just before going to press state that a scow was yesterday wrecked whilst running the Grand Canyon, and one man out of its six occupants was drowned. Some of the rescued men went four miles Cewn stream on sweeps and bales of hay before they were tv-iifld. Miss Oliver, a sister of Mrs. J. 0. Williamson, of this city, arrived here on Thursday last from England. Miss Oliver accompanied Mr. and Mrs. Wilson, who have been spending some months in Ireland, on the long journey from the British Isles, Leon Champion, Dominion Inspector of Fisheries, was a visitor here this week. Mr. Champion is an old timer in the Cariboo, being born in Barkerville. The fishes, he states, are in excellent health and spirits. The baseball game scheduled for last Sunday turned out to be a fizzle on account of the non-appearance of the Fort George team. The game was claimed by default by the home team. The game was to have been played on the new diamond on the river bank about half a mile south of here, where a splendid grand stand has been erected. A "scrub" team was picked up after the game was defaulted, and a very good game of ball was played. Within the next few days about six hundred scow men will arrive here from the end of steel with a huge flotilla of laden scows. Some of these river men are quite without fear.
