But- VERY FEW ASSETS LEFT FOR CREDITORS Not only the crew of the steamer Chilco, but also the crews of the steamers Port Praser and Chilcotin, are to get their arrears of wages in full, according to Mr. Justice Clement's decision lately in Vancouver. The decision is limited only by the question of whether the vessels at their recent sale were valued at more than the wage bills. As in the case of the Port Fraser the sailors' liens totalled only fl300 and in the case of the Chilcotin only to $1000, there is little doubt that the vessels brought more than the amount of the liens. In the case of the steamer Quesnel, the fourth vessel in tbe service of the Port George Lumber and Navigation Company at the time of the company's winding up a year ago, it has transpired that the vessel was only chartered, so the crew have only an ordinary claim for wages. Now that the liquidation of the company's assets is completed it has been discovered that tbe assets are Insufficient to meet the preferred claims, and a legal fight is on among the preference creditors tor priority. The Robert Hamilton Company, and the Canadian Fairbanks Company held liens on machinery which was sold en bloc with the company's assets, so they are claiming for the full amount of their liens. The Traders Bank is also claiming for $50000 preference under an agreement whereby they released their mortgage on the Chilco. Deciding that only the wage earners who had filed maritime leans come first, Mr. Justice Clement ad- CONSTRUCTION IN NECHACO VALLEY William Blair, a pioneer merchant of this town, returned this week from a trip of inspection to his Nechaco Valley stores. Mr. Blair states that signs of active railroad construction are beginning to appear in the Fraser Lake section. A steam Bhovel is being brought down from completed work to the west for work on a big earth cut between the upper and lower Nechaco River at the eastern end of Fraser Lake, and camps are now being built in that section. Business in the Fraser Lake section, Mr. Blair Btated to The Herald, was at present quiet, but every indication points to a brisk business as spring advances, and a boom in that section may be anticipated this summer. Mr. Harry Lcduc, manager of Mr. Blair's store at Stella, at the western end of Fraser Lake,.looks for a big influx of settlers and capital in the spring. There is a lot of heavy plant employed in the rock work around Burns Lake, about 30 miles west of Port Fraser, which will be moved east to the Praser Lake section as soon as possible. Active preparation are being made by the town- site people in that section for more extensive development work in the spring. Foley Welch & Stewart are now freighting across all lakes between Hazelton and Stella, on the esters end of Fraser Lake. journed the other questions until Monday for further argument. Mr. W. A. McDonald, K. C, for McLennan and Adamson, the purchasers of the assets, was discharged by the court with instructions to pay over certain monies his clients had held pending the application of the seamen for priority. SOUTH WINS HOCKEY CUP Northern Lumber and Mercantile Company's Chsllenge Cup, won by South Fort George. — "ICK* J ,, -■ —• *"■ »»»* r Louis' i Johna; Fred 01orke "s Larson, The final hockey game in the cup series between South Port George and Port Qeorge was played on the Port Qeorge rink, last Saturday night. The game resulted In a decisive victory for the South Port George team, with a score of eight goals to two. The first three goals were scored in the first fifteen mtn*> utes of play by the local team, amid a storm of applause from their supporters. Prom this on thc game took on a one-sided character which deprived it of the Interest which a closer contest would have presented. The opposing team played a strong game, but- were not equal to the clever combination of the South Port George team. W. Playfair acted as referoe, meting out penalties to the chimes of a lunch bell, for rough play on both sides. With this victory the South Port George team wins the Northern Lumber and Mercantile Company's cup, having won three, out ol the four games played with the Port George team. BAD ACCIDENT AT BURNS l*KE One of the worst accidents that has happened on tbe line of the Q. T. P. for over two years happened on Tuesday morning last when two station men and one day laborer were Instantly killed and two more laborers were seriously injured, and one slightly injured. The men were employed at Stewart Bros., camp at Burns Lake, says the Omineca Herald of January 28. While it was difficult to get details it is presumed that the accident was due to frozen dynamite exploding prematurely. In the very severe weather there is much more danger with dynamite. All along the line the most sincere regret is felt by the contractors and the men, and especially so as there have been so few accidentson the western end of the construction work. MUST GO "BANG!" An important addition to the clauses ot the attorney-general's bill regarding the use of offensive weapons, will be discussed at the committee consideration of the measure, which will follow shortly. It has been found that an added danger in the sale of firearms has been the patenting of silencers and contrivances for deadening the sound of the explosion. These are valuable adjuncts for a criminal, who stands an infinitely greated chance ot escape by using such an invention. To meet this contingency Hon. Mr. Bowser has formulated the new clause, providing a severe penalty or fine for all who contravene this regulation. The new section reads as follows: "It shall be unlawful tor any person to use or have ln his possession a silencer or any contrivance for deadening the sound caused by the eflplosion of a firearm. Any por- son ln any way contravening this section shall be liable, on summary conviction, to a penalty of not less than one hundred dollars, and In default of immediate payment, to imprisonment with hard labor for a term not exceeding six months." According to the Omineca Herald the work of track laying on the Q. T. P. has been resumed east of New Hazelton. The machine started to work at Mud Creek bridge late last month. When six miles have been made to Phorphry Creek, the machine will be held up till the bridge there is completed. It is expected that the steel will reach Telkwa in the spring. TOTE ROADS COMPLETED TO EAST IN MERRIE ENGLAND In preparation for the active construction work that is to be commenced in this section as soon as navigation opens supplies oi every description continue to pour into the great warehouses at the end of steel. Preightlng from that point down tbe river Is being carried on by over a thousand teams. The winter tote road has been completed to Kullan- der's camp, only thirty odd miles trom here, and Contractor Kullanser himself drove a load of freight trom the Grand Canyon cache to his camp at Eagle Lake last week. At the Grand Canyon there Is stored a big quantity of supplies brought down from the end of steel last summer by the steamboats. STEEL LAYING ON O. N. R. PEACE RINBR LINE A press despatch states that steel laying on the Canadian Northern Peace river line would commence on January 30th. The big track laying outfit, laying steel westward from Edmonton on the main line reached the McLeod river at Mile 126 on tbe 29th of January and the outfit was transferred to the Peace River line. Steel laying on the main line will be suspended during the construction of the steel bridge across the McLeod river. Grading on the Peace Rl?or lino has been completed as far as the Pembina river and some grading has been done between the Pembina and the next crossing at the McLeod. PEACB IN THE PEACE Tommy Chetwynd, well known in South Port George, writes us from Rugely, in Staffordshire, England. He tells us that he is hunting .milk- fed foxes several times a week. This fox hunting is a fine sport, and Mr. Chetwynd has often explained the principles of the game to the uninitiated here. Briefly, the idea is this. The hunter dons a red coat, red, in England, being the fox's favorite color, and rides to a place where there are collected a Bock oi long-eared dogs, more mounted men in red coats, and mounted ladies wearing Christy-stiffs. Pretty soon an animal trainer ln a red coat blows a horn, whips a dog or two, and gallops away with the whole aggregation to look for a fox-JTn a young woodland glade called a "cover." It a fox is around the dogs chase him into the open and some rustic lets out a bucolic yell termed a "view hello." After this lt is a two to one bet that the tox gets his sooner or later, and the first lady at tbe funeral grabs his head, whilst the first man gets the tail. In the soft glow of eventide the tired huntsmen bury their dead, and thread their way homeward through tbe wild rose strewn country lanes, stopping occasionally at some wayside inn to slake their thirst with the only mixed drink for which England Ib famous, a pint o! "art and art." Tis a glorious sport. Rev. A. Porbes, a missionary of the Presbyterian Church, stationed at Qrande Prairie, announced in Edmonton recently that a movement is under way to keep the Peace River district, north of the 55th parallel, in the dry column. The present northern limit for the liquor traffic is Athabasca, 100 miles north ot Edmonton. Mr. Forbes reported that a recent plan to establish a licensed hotel at Grande Prairie was opposed by a large majority ot settlers in 'the district. Their petition is now being considered by Lieutenant Gov- 1 enor Bulyea, stationed in Edmonton. The Missionary said that the settlers in the district have recorded .their unalterable opposition to the extension of the licence north ot Athabasca, "and" he added, "we intend to use all constitutional means to prevent its extension nearer to our homes and firesides." The wagon road trom Burns Lake to Stella, of Fraser Lake, is now completed, and tbe Drat load that went over lt was railway supplies weighing eleven thousand pounds. Tbe road is twenty eight miles long and ia in first class shape. Prom now on there will be great activity along that piece of road unril spring opens up and Burns lake cannot be crossed says tbe Omineca Herald. PIREMENS' BALL The third annual Piremens' Ball will be held in the Port Qeorge Theatre next Friday evening. The ar rangements are in the hands ot a capable committee composed of Messrs. John Campbell, chairmrn; John Bronger and Harry Close. A' committee ol ladles will look after the supper arrangements. The mu »i will be the best obtainable, and th dance bids fair to be the best of tbe social season. As a sequel to the victory of the second hockey team over the third, in a match played early in the week, a dance was given in the Port Qeorge Theatre last night, by the losers, the third team, of which Mr. W. F. Cooke is the bench captain. The music was flrnished by Messrs. J. Senior and W. Kerr, who were congratulated upon their excellent program. Tbe refreshments, served at midnight, were delicious. Tbe dance was an invitation aftalr, 'and was largely attended by tbe hockey teams from both towns. . PAGE TWO .f! fi" i ..

ESTIMATE8 SUBHITTBO* Scktcriplin $3.00 i Yen io Advisee Advcrtismt Rales m Applialitu Scattered up and down the upper Fraser river, and in more or less remote portions of the province, there are miles and miles of unsurveyed timber leases. These leases are perpetual. As long as the lessee pays'; the government about $115 a year he, or his assigns, alone have the right to cut the timber off the lease, and until these lands are logged off they are not open to settlement. We find no fault with the government's disposition of its timber lands, but we deplore the fact that the survey of these lands be not insisted upon within a specified time. In the case of a settler encroaching on a timber berth, his work goes for nothing, for he has sworn that he is occupying unsurveyed, unoccupied crown lands, and, as we have stated, many of these timber limits being unsurveyed, the settler has no adequate means of estimating their extent. A lumberman of this section was told by a member of the provincial government that the government considered it good policy not to insist upon surveying, as many of the timber limits were staked in such manner that the lessees were holding land which they would probably drop after the surveyors had laid out the areas exactly, and therefore the government were receiving more revenue at present than they would after survey, This, surely, is not to be taken seriously. It is hard to credit the statement that the government of this provin.ce encourage investors to pay them money which is not in justice due them. The timber limits should be surveyed. A movement has been launched by local people with the object of equipping this city with proper mechanical apparatus for the fighting of fires. The movement cannot be too strongly supported. It is a good idea, well-timed and calculated to forestall the wholesale destruction that will assuredly befall this place in the event of fire outbreaking in the business section. A fire hall, fire bell and the trappings of a bucket brigade have already been contributed as an elementary measure of protection against the fire danger by public-spirited citizens, but such inadequate measures for protecting property from an ever-present menace must be supplemented by more modern methods if South Fort George is to expect a continuous growth of substantial buildings. The town needs a chemical fire engine and must have one. The sound of the fire bell ringing in this town strikes dumb terror into the heart of the property-owner and holds him in breathless suspense until the location and extent of the danger is learned. When the city is duly incorporated the question of fire-fighting equipment is bound to be of vital interest to property-holders, and whatever advances are made by the city in this direction in its present unorganized state can be taken into proper consideration by the municipal government when the time arrives, and a simple basis of settlement can be arrived at.

The winter rate is twenty cents a pound on common express matter from Ashcroft to South Fort George, for instance, whilst, if the material in transit can conform to the size and weight admitting it to His Majesty's mails as second-class matter, it can reach here from any part of these broad dominions for sixteen cents a pound, and, by the same token the express company must carry this material without specific profit to themselves under their mail contract with the government. In this way we have observed huge shipments of seed grain coming into this section from the east, being admitted to the mails at a special rate of six cents a pound, congesting the postoffices and burdening the mail contractors with material which should be carried at a profit to them. Under the present system orders placed on the outside for material required are committed to the express service only as a last resort. Congratulations to the South Fort George Hockey Club. They have won more laurels for the sportsmanship record of which this young city may well be proud. Both the home team and their opponents are a fine crowd of sports. May the same spirit prevail until the end of the game. Within the next few months two more great Atlantic liners will be launched for the Canadian trade. These are the Alsatian and Georgian of the Allan line, which will easy carry 2,200 passengers and crew. They will be equipped with the latest type of turbine engines. Forty-six lifeboats will be stowed away on each vessel, sufficient to carry every soul on board in the event of shipwreck. These vessels will make their first voyage to Canada about the beginning of next year. From all accounts they will prove notable additions to the Atlantic service. The Canadian route is becoming more popular every year.—Colonist. South Fort George, on various occasions, has had cause to complain of discrimination against it in matters| of public service. There was the never-forgetable government office fiasco, but that is past. A recent action of the Provincial Secretary's, however, brings a minor grievance to our notice, and whilst the matter is of trivial import, and may have a lucid explanation, we fail to see how the action of Dr. Young's department can be property justified. We refer to the appointment of a medical man from Fort George, a town three miles distant, to inspect the school children here, when the pioneer medical practicioner of this section lives within two blocksof our school.

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 this 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 Fort 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 office and his residence, a drug store, postoffice shortly, and a great number of larger or smaller houses. The best openings at present are for a 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 more pleased every day that I 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.

"I am not exaggerating if I say that, if in those days, Cariboo gave her gold in millions, there is a time close at hand, when it will be giving its tens of millions. I can partly account for this lack of knowledge by tbe great fever for land, which for some time past has developed some high temperatures throughout tbe province, but we knew that when this temperature dropped once more to normal, the public would again turn their attention to the mining possibilities of the district, as the backbone and support of this rising prosperous, and wealthy province. "It would be as well for me, in giving you some idea of what is going on in Cariboo, by beginning with a description of the Hopp mines owned by Mr. John Hopp, of Seattle and Mr. Melborne Baillie mining engineer of Tacoma, Wash. These mines were originally drifting claims, but were purchased by their present owners a few years ago. They have been successfully hydrauliced by a large and powerful plant, and by the erection of expensive dams and ditches. This has been followed by a handsome return in gold. "The first is Stout's Gulch, hydrauliced for four years with great success. The Lowhee was taken over and worked a year ago, and it turned out well. The Conklin Gulch, opposite Barkerville, of which they have lately got possession, will be worked the coming season. Another larger mine, near Mosquito, has also been lately purchased, and will be worked the coming season. These mines, when in full operation, will employ a large number of men, and will be of direct benefit to the farmers by the demand which will be created for all kinds of garden vegetables. "Other large operators in Cariboo are Mr. Leicester Bonner, and associates, of London, England, who, having faith in the district and a good knowledge of mining, have invested large capital in development. These are the same people who started the Golf Fields mines, from Barkerville in northerly and easterly directions. They have been sinking ln and testing Little/ Valley for the last two years, and these teats have filled tbe shareholdrrs of the company with the most sanguine expectations. This company employs a large number of men, in their various operations. They are also working on the grounds ot old Lightning Creek above Van Winkle, by means of elevators, and every hoist contains gold in good paying quantities. They will begin operations on the LeFontaine claims next season, and work there steadily. "At Wingdam, thirty miles below Barkerville, on Lightning Creek, many efforts have been made during the past fourteen years to sink a shaft on this property, but all operations were retarded by water. During the past season work has met with betcer success, and the future appears to the operators as very rosy. A resolution was recently adopted by the citizens of 8tewart unanimously agreeing that the sum of 1125 a month, for a period of four months be guaranteed a doctor. The people of Stewart have been unable to Induce a doctor to locate there. COUNTY COURT OF CARIBOO. Canada, County of Cariboo, British Columbia. Ntrttas Craws Bask tmw W. Wttt at* Mu ltr|t.

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, 1918, 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. Cleat 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.
