ADVERTISING RATES ON APPUCATION THE ONLY NEWSPAPER PUBLISHED IN KORT GEORGE NOT CONTROLLED BY A TOWNSITE COMPANY. Saturday, February 17th. 1512 TME "spluttering of the short political time,fuse has precipitated a pandemonium of jostling, anxious-eyed aspirants into those various positions in the political field of Cariboo, whither their importance, their fittingness, or their self-assurance has led them. There has been no redistribution of seats, for which negligence the government should feel ashamed, and blush rosily. The Fort (leorge country must either gain recognition by its acknowledged right to more directl representation, or it must bowimeek- ly to circumstances which hape consigned the north to the sea politic unprepared. Whether the district shall be well represented by carefully analysing the situation and reajusring the.dual-representation to meet the heavy demands of. the present, and the heavier demands of the future, requirements of the north, seems to us to lie very largely with #he delegates at .the Conservative Convention, to be held at Quesnel shortly. The S southern end of the district will haw a large majority of delegate.! at the convention, as the representation is based upon lb.' vote polled at the last Dominion elect ion. No fair minded man will deny the fact that during the next three years the need of more direct representation for the railway section of Cariboo will be very keenly felt. Under present condition-, however, the population of the district i- largely centred around the o\d Carihoo road. The present representatives, are drawn from Quesnel and Barkerville. The next two, should, out of the fitness of things be drawn from ; Quesnel "and South Fort George. The general impression is that tli.' Quesnel convention will nominate two representatives, draw;n frlojn the riortb and the south of the district, to run on the Conservative ticket, instgaxl of from the east and west, as heretofore. choice of good material. For the lower district. -John A. Fraser will be re-nominated and, we believe, re-elected. He has served his end of the district faithfully and well, and has merited its unanimous support. HpllK HERALD believes' that the Mc- * Bride railway polity will carry this district witb a roar of approval/ unless ill- advised action on thc part of the Quesnel convention forces ti breach in the Conservative ranks. If the north secures recog- nition the north will) assuredly add their v°te to the support of the government's cause, almost unanimously, whereas if it '"' ignored there remains a possibility of (Ah"r candidates taking the held and split- |"g up the vote amongst their divers causes.

SClU'cil hnvn i a" if :I||,.\ will .lie THE editor of The Herald was this week served with a summons to appear before Stipendigry Magistrate Heme here, to answer to a charge of criminal libel, brought by a Vancouver promoter named George J. Hammond. We have conducted a long and strenuous campaign against this man Hammond, whose promotion methods we have held up to the ligbt of publicity. His personality became involved, and he is suing us for criminal and civil libel. Tlie Herald will fight both cases to a complete finish. The result we are confident of, and we can promise our readers that these cases will constitute the most sensational libel cases in tl«i history of Canadian jurisprudence. The Herald editor has behind him the goodwill of the people who know that his contentions are rigbt; that his fight has been based on sincere principles, for the protection of the independent business interests at South Fort George. The curtain rang down on the prologue of the comedy-drama this afternoon, before Stipendiary Magistrate Heme. The editor asked for an adjournment for seven days, which was granted. Besides the officers of the court there were present Carl C. Cutler, Hammond's latest townsite foreman, ' and the spluttering little squib who is playing at editor for the first time in his young life on. Mr. Hammond's townsite organ, the Tribune. Carl C. Cutler,.in reply lo a question by Stipendiary Magistrate Heme, asked that bail be imposed for the ,sum of $5000 in all. We offered no objection to this quite excessive bond, as we have no intension of running away, and the foreman wanted to be impressive. The next act comes off next week, when the preliminary hearing will be held. E VENTS of the last few years have proved that there is a class of criminal stock promoters as definite and continuing an element in society as the professional burglar and pickpocket. They number a couple of thousand men and a few women. Each person of them creates many schemes to defraud during Ids career. Their sceliemes deal with the sale of worthless stocks in eight main divisions of enterprise. They rob the public today of $150,- 000,000 a year (in the opinion of the post- office chief inspector.) Each scheme fails so far as the stockholders are concerned. But the promoter emerges with a sum of money from each wreckage, and projects a similar scheme under a new corporation name. Meanwhile, he lives lavishly on the money of the clerks, stenographers, clergyman, physicians, and small tradesmen whom he has dexterously robbed. Of these professionals, a gentleman who studied them for tut Chicago Board of Trade says: "Robbery by deception is a science. The comparative immunity encourages men of keen intelect and easy concience to devote their lives to the study of swindling." The innocent victim has a subsoil like that of southern Calif-* ornia. From it may be taken several crops a year without exhausting- its almost infinite, virginal trustfulness and easy repose'. Gayly there bloom the white flowers of' a, blameless credulity. The promoter is one of the few characters in real life who thrive on failures. His history is honeycombed with wreckage. Some are birds of passage, with a troubled life on the wing. Others emerge erect a new company on the ruins of the from successive breakdowns, and bravely former failure. No other character has so, large a record of personal success und of business failure. -COLLIER'S. '■" THE petition of the Natural Resources Security Company, for certain railway station priveleges, comes before the Railway Commission early next month. The townsite company is trying to back up their petition, by sending out to the hundreds of people on their mailing lists, copies of what the accompanying letter claims to be a "short form of petition," which the company request the person addressed to sign and send in a stamped addressed envelope, which they also enclose, to Messrs. Pringlo, Thompson k Burgess, Trust Building, Ottawa, Canada: Presumably their solicitors. This is the way the "short form of petition" reads: The Board of Railway Commissioners of Canada, Ottawa, Ontario. Sirs:- Being vitally interested in the welfare and future development of Fort George, a new townsite oil the Grand Trunk Pacific main line in Central British Columbia, 1 hereby petition that your honorable body grant the application of the Natural Resources Security Company Limited, and do issue an order directing that the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway Company provide suitable and necessary railway sidings and stations' accomodations at or near the townsite of Fort George at the earliest possible date. Respectfully submitted. It does not take a lawyer, or a high-brow person to show that such a document as that reproduced above would never be sent out by a business concern, unless that concern were anxious for the cause which it was pleading before the Railway Commission. There is nothing to prevent any individual in the Dominion of Canada from signing one of these typewritten fly-sheets. If a man signs his name to such a document as this he proclaims himself to be vitally interested in Fort George. WHO CAN PROVE THAT HE IS NOT? CITY AND DISTRICT Tbe Firemen's Ball, held in the Fort George Theatre last Wednesday evening, was a very well attended and most successful event. Financially it was also entirely successful, the Fire Department receiving a good financial contribution towards paying off thoir indebtedness. Mr. Pat Campbell, Deputy Fire Chief, is to be thanked for a great deal of the work that was largely responsible for tho entire success of tho dance. The bi'g fire bell, purchased by Chief J. R. Campbell, arrived here this week, and has been delivered at the fire hall in readiness for hoisting to its position in front of the building. The bell weighs over five hundred pounds, antl will be audible for manv miles. Harry Close, of thc firm of Close k Brown, returned to town from a prolonged holiday in the land of the Stars and Stripes. Mr. Close saw a bull i fight, somewhere beyond the i American border. The bull got ■real peeved and nailed the toreador, who got too fresh. He tells us that a great number of people all over the continent, appear to be interested in this place, and from all indications, he believes, there will be a big influx in the spring. THE necessity of the Peace river wagon roads, which we hnve so long advocated, become more necessary than ever now that the province has secured control of the great 3,500,000 acre Dominion Government Reserve in the Peace River valley. The Herald was tlie first paper to advocate the building or wagon roads into the Peace River country, or to the tributary waterways of the Peace of the Peace which stretch their reaches close to our navigable rivers. In other columns we print the opinion expressed by tlie Vancouver Province on this matter. As we have repeatedly urged, if this province desires to conserve tbe trade of the Peace River valley, it is up to the government to provide means of ingress. Jn spite of the fact that there are thousands of acres of land under reserve in the Peace river country, "for pre-emption only", the government of this province has not built a single waggon road into the country. And they have now acquired 3,500,000 acres of land in addition to their marooned area. If this country had a live member of its own on the flloor of the house during the present session a Peace River wagon appropriation would certainly appear in the Estimates of Revenue and 'Expenditure. ; " Chas. H. Gibbs, a representative of the Taylor Safe Works of Toronto, arrived here on the last stage. Other travellers who arrived were Mr. McPherson, representing Swift k Co., of Chicago, and Mr. Gulbraith, of Wood, Vallance k Leggat, of Vancouver. Messrs. Kelly Douglas k Company's traveller was here last week. W. F. Cooke, writing from Ottawa, states that whilst in Edmonton recently, it appeared that freight fould be moving west from that city about the middle of next summer. The Fort George Herald is going to shortly commence the publication af a serial story. It is entitled "The Losing Game" and is written by Will Payne, the American financial writer. Thc story deals with the career of a resourceful and daring bucket-shop operator, of Chicago. The whole story is based upon truth, making it more interesting. The Rev. 11. H. I. Williams, rector of St. Stephen's Church, South Fort George, returned from a prolonged tour through the northwestern part of this district. Tho Rev. Mr. Williams left here on foot in the coldest weather of .January, travelling over the Stoney Crook trail to Fraser Lake. From there hu Went to Quesnel. Since he left, he has covered, on foot, a distance of about 150 milcs. Next week, the McBride railway policy. F11HAT close-in acreage is on the move * near this townsite is evinced by the fact that •■William B. Dean, late of The Herald, who left here .for Calgary a few weeks ago, reports by wire that he has sold about thirty thousand dollars worth of acreage close to this town since his arrival in the Albertan .city. These sales have boon Confirmed. Tbe realty market here seems to be settling into a state of activity. Inside property is not affected as yet, but lot- holders are not listing their' property to any extent,, which indicates that .they expect a stimulated market in thc spring. W. F. Cooke will be back hero by March the first. Ho is at the present time in Ottawa. The weather, during the past week, has continued mild and plosant. The snow is disappearing. Indians, down from Fort McLeod, state that fur has been plentiful there this winter. The Indians say they want a road. Thc advertisment which appears in this issue, calling attention to tho Liboral Convention, should have appeared in the last issue, but it was miscarried to the Nechaco town- site oflice and was not received here in time for publication, FAUJi I \.U The Peace Trade Vancouver Province just received a wire from Chief Engineer Kelliher saying that the tunnels were completed.

One of thc unperformed duties of the government of Canada is to go into the country and take an inventory of it. We have no polities in that country and we have to fight for everything we get.

There were sixteen or eighteen of these altogether along the canal route and with so many extra parts at hand we were able to fix up four good machines at little cost. These were efficient.

September 161I1., 1411. Dec 9 PLACER usually being longer than in tho Twenty-mile creek with Quesnel river northern part nf the district. About Mr. Howard W. DuBois, of Philadel- 30 men will suffice generally to carry phla. tbe company's general manager on hydraulic mining, tbat number in- designed the system, and th» en- olmling attending to the water-sup- gincering work was carried out Ior ply system. The company's head- some time under the supervision of quarters in British Columbia are at Mr. H. B. Kergusson, of Vancouver, ■Hydraulic, a small newly established and latterly ol Mr. W. W. Kdwards town situated near the junction ot as Chief engineer. An Outline of the Past Season's Barkerville Work Mention has already been made oi the (act that last season was a short ,,„,, *or placer mining in ('anion district. As Indicating the shortness of water in tlic tributary streams that supply water [or washing the gold- bearing gravels, it may be Btated that tlic water in Kias r River, which is the main nutlet. Inr the surface waters nf ibe Cariboo district, was lower in 1911 than ever be'ore known by tlmse engaged in placer mining in the dislrict. The several hydraulic mines nf Mr. John Hopp- l.nwhec, Forest Rose, and Mosquito Creek- were all worked. While tl"' quantity of gold recovered was smaller than during a season nf ordinary length, much work was done towards improving the water supply for hydraulicing, chiefly in building higher the dams or reservoirs. Tbe West Canadian Deep Leads Ltd., did work nil Little valley creek, and Mr Bouner was alsn active nn Lightning Creek. Mr. Laselle operated on China Creek nnd Nugget gulch. The old Waverly was worked as usual, good icsults were reported frnm a Chinese claim on Slough Creek. Prospecting by driving a tunnel tn reach the channel on lied rock was in progress on Summit Creek. The Wormwold Creek Mining Co. did some work on a tributary of Lightning Creek, good prospects were obtained mi Peters and Venture creeks. Mr. 11. li. Joins did a lot of development nn Donovan and Last Chance creeks, work wns continued on Stewart. creek, Edwards and Thompson made roads and ditches and did some prospecting work on Sugar Creek, nnd other creeks and claims in various parls of the country about Barkerville, but results are not known. In quosnel division tlie most Important work was that of the Quesnel Hydraulic Cold Mining Company. In addition, Mr. J. B. Hohson oper ated his claims nn Spanish nnd Black Bear Creeks, to which he hns [or some time been engaged in bringing water for hydraulicing. Snowsl oc and Keitbley Creeks are also in Quesnel division hut no information was received relative to them. A description of the Quesnel Hydraulic Gold Mining Co's enterprise was printed in tbe "Annual Report of the Minister of Mines" for L910. This is the largest Installation nf a hydraulic plant made in Quesnel division since ttiat oi the Carilioo Consolidated., put under the manage ment of Mr. Hohson years ago. The Quesnel company has ten hydraulic leases, covering approximately mill acres of gravel beds situated on the lower part nf Twenty Mile creek and thence down Quesnel river. It is estimated that there is here, along a well defined old river channel, a body of auriferous gravel approximating in quantity 100,000,000 cubic yards, but less than one thud nf this was tested preliminary tn putting m the water supply system and hydraulicing equipment. Water has been brought from Swift river to Pas*, lake, at the head nf Twenty-mile creek, a distance nf 17J miles, chiefly in a ditch through ahnut 10,000 feet nr wood stave pipe, sixty inches in diamater, whieh was constructed chiefly to cross depressions in the country passed through, Prom Pass lnke the water Hows lirst down Twenty mile creek fi r three and a half miles, and then in 2000 feet of Wood Hume, 4000 feet of ditch and 6600 feet of steel pipe to the gravel pils. The water system is designed to deliver 3500 miners' inches of water per diem, nnd it is calculated that fmm 12,000 to ir.,0(Kl cubic yards of gravel will he washed daily. Hydraulicing was commenced late last summer, hut no information as to results has been obtained.
