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.

"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.

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 British ColumbialExpress Company could apparently revise
their tariff on express matter with a profitable result to both
themselves and their many dependent patrons in the enormous
territory served by their stage service. 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.

ANTICIPATES BIG
MINING ACTIVITY
Continued
ulation, and laid the foundation ot
the British Columbia ol today.
"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.

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.
