CARTWRIGHT, Secretary of Board of Railway Commissioners for Canada. Ottawa, December 19th, 1914. This is another chapter in the .Station Site matter completed. Again the people are ignored as if they did not exist. But our readers can be assured it is not ended. The people have risen and fortunately there are those who recognize the injustice done, the totally unfair and inadequate facilities provided by the commission, and that body have not heard the last of the question. It was quickly noted that the Commision discreetly omitted that portion of the order placing upon the railway company the expense of $12,000.00 to grade an entrance to the Depot site by way of Victoria Street. And we are left to ask who is to grade the streets leading to the place where the Commission says the depot must go ? borne Oy the Provincial Govern ment, and will they do the work? Not if they know it! The Provincial (iovernmenthas about all it can do and more to perform its legitimate road building. It has not begun to do what it ought to in that respect. If the town is incorporated it will be up to the common council to appropriate the necessary ways and means 2ND, 191,. $3.00 Per Annum. Road Buildi Citizens of South Fort George Oppose Incorporation With Prince George On Tuesday evening, the citizens of South Fort George met a Burch's Hall to discuss the question of Incorporation of South 'ort George, Prince (leorge and Fort George as one municipality and passed resolutions empowering their committee of five on the general committee of fifteen, representing the three towns, to take such steps as may be deemed necessary to eliminate South jFort George from the bill to be introduced in the Provincial Legis- Legislature will | lature at its January sitting.

We received and entertained last summer the Attorney General and the Minister of Lands, in a compre- town and residents generally. Mr, Cooke outlined what had been done to date in the matter and stated that there seemed to be a feeling among the populace that a significant change had come about in the incorporation sentiment, that we were not prepared for it at this time, and that incorporation with Prince George now would be a hardship on South Fort I leorge. The meeting had therefore been called by the committee of five to get the sentiment of the people and instructions how to proceed. Mr. McElroy as one of the committee enlarged on the remarks of Mr. Cooke acquainting the meeting with conditions as they existed. Considerable discussion and free expression of the subject was had, many speakers being heard with various reasons against incorporation. In fact, all the speakers opposed the movement at necessities of I this time. The preponderance of all the evidence adduced was to The time is; the effect that incorporation for South Fort George with Prince the fruits of the Ministers' visit. Later we received Minister Tom Taylor, or "Good Roads Taylor", (Continued on last page) is not in their interest? The Railway Commission appropriated out of the railway treasury the sum of $12,(100 to make the station get-at-able. They admitted in the verdict 1 = it was necessary, and therefore', for the site of a station such as admitted also that their verdict I this city is destined to be.

An entirely separate plant of each would be necessary. The higher values and the greater area to be developed in Prince George would call for a large outlay there, and of necessity the rate of taxation would be so high to improve the large undeveloped area lying in between, that at the present time there would be no adequate return to property owners in South Fort (leorge for the amount of outlay. In fact — as one speaker put it — for one tenth the amount of taxes South Fort George would have to pay under incorporation of the whole, it could have a better town and better improvements if incorporated alone. The community of interest between the.three towns, it was thought, was not sufficiently crystalized at this time to ttis_tt Z common inclusion in one city government advantageous. It was pointed out that expert advice of Colonel Thompson, the engineer appointed by the Provincial Government to bring in a report on the area proposed for incorporation, was against the incorporation of such a large area so far in advance of its necessity. The burdens of incorporation under existing conditions would tend to hamper and very likely defeat the very object sought by combining so great a diversified condition as existed here. A large indebtedness would be necessary from the beginning, and very likely at high rates of interest and excessive discount. It were better to begin with a small area in the centre — perhaps ah or a portion of Prince George at first — and let the balance of the area be included as the time and conditions warrant. The resolution unanimously adopted provides that "The committee of five from South Fort (leorge advise the committee of fifteen of their intentions and their instructions from the people of South Fort George to ask that So ith Fort George be elimineted from the incorporation with Prince George and Fort George." A further resolution provides That the committee take all necessary steps, such as acquainting the Government, through our Member Mr. John A. Fraser, of the people's wishes, and if necessary the circulation of petitions among the residents and property owners, the same to be presented to the Government."

It is a matter which should appeal to everybody, for without tho development and settlement of our lands there can be no real prosperity in the Province. ll is hoped the meeting will le largely attended and that definate plans may be adopted lo the benefit of the District as a whole.

The opti- Benefits of the war on Canada, mism engendered by the pros- This week we print extracts from perity just preceding this de- leading writers and authorities pression resulted, in many cases, on these conditions. DR. ADAM SHORT, Civil Service Commissioner, Ottawa, says: "After the war has been brought to a close, capital, seeking investment, will be apt to consider only the safest kind of opportunity. Canada, with its national prosperity based on the development of its national resources, can offer to European investors a safer field and a more ready return in dividends than any other country in the world. Basic conditions are sound, so far as Canada is concerned, and, in an inflation of values, and the financial stringency was the natural and inevitable corrective of this. The process of placing real value behind the inflated prices will doubtless be impeded by the dislocation of business due to the war, "A good deal of personal disappointment is unfortunately inevitable. With the borrowing of capital rendered almost impossible the pace of development must slacken off. This in turn deprives of orders enterprises whose business lies in furnishing equipment. As money will not he circulating so rapidly or so though there will undoubtedly be hardships in some quarters! freely, there will be much more through the more rapid but nee-'economy practised by private essary readjustment of abnormal j persons as well as by companies conditions in consequence of the war, the ultimate result should, within a few months at most, be beneficial for the whole country. '■II is inevitable that in the change There is absolutely no reason for' from boom to dulness some who and public bodies,"and from this cause, again, some enterprises will find their business restricted, any financial panic or for any pessimistic view of business conditions in Canada." Mr. GEORGE P. SCHOFIELD, General Manager of the Standard Bank of Canada, says: "A great deal of the criticism that has been levelled at Canada in the last year is unfair; and still, when one regards the source from which it has come, it must be confessed it has not been unexpected. Canada's commercial and industrial progress has been simply marvellous, and jealous competitors are aware of this fact. While it is perfectly true we have borrowed enormous sums, this country is well able to meet all its obligations. I submit that most of the capital we have received from abroad has been well spent. "It is true that speculation has been rife; but even old England had its rubber boom, and the United States its [fling at oil, copper and silver in turn. As far as the younger countries are concerned the Argentine, Brazil, and so forth, our younger'tent ion to the rivals — they are not today bet- exist for them ter off than we are. On the whole, our industrial and agricultural progress has been sound. Our record is something of which to be proud.'' upon paper counted themselves wealthy should now find themselves denuded of their paper riches. As this publication frequently pointed out, a good deal of the real estate values was fictitious and depended almost entirely on optimism and easy money. Such drastic operations entail considerable disappointment to individuals, but bring financial health to the nation. Following a decade of unparalleled development, a period of enforced economy will leave the Dominion stronger than ever, and at the conclusion of the war she will be in an infinately better position to take advantage of the demands upon her resources than if her credit was over extended in the whirl of speculative optimism. Trade Possibilities. CANADA ILLUSTRATED. "CANADA" in a recent issue, discussiig Canadian Investments says: "There is every justification for confidence. When the war first broke out there was a good deal more pessimism about Canada's prospects than has proved so far to have been warranted. "From the business point of view it was particularly unfortunate for Canada lhat the war broke out when the country was British manufacture), would do ■ll to study and to give close at- wssihilities which exist for tbem in Canada al the present lime. The soundness of Canada's business foundations and the particularly favorable position the Dominion occupies at this time of crisis we need hardly mention, lt is. therefore, unnecessary to do more than refer to them and to suggest thut tbey Hpell commercial opportunities hitherto unrealised in the Mother Country. Tlie Canadian purchasing power manufacturers themselves are, of course, alive to the situation ; but over ancl above all they can possibly supply, there are plenty of openings for the British manufacturer to step in. Especially is this true at the present moment, when there has been cut off the great source of German supply,J'rom which some £3,- i A very large proportion ol this large 'sum was represented by goods which can be supplied by Britain. The greatness of the commercial opportunities may be realized by re- i garding the remarkable development that has taken place in (.'anada in the hist twenty years and considering what preparation bus already been made for the future. The "spectacular" growth of the Canadian West since 1895 has become proverbial, Cities and towns and villages have sprung tp almost like magic on the prnirie ; while during that time : there has been a corresponding industrial development in tho older- j established East. Especially considering that during that period there was only one railway line to the West, the growth, both communally and industrially, has been astonishing. By pointing to thc great commercial concerns whieh have come into existence from East to West, and are supplying varied commodities on a large scale, it can be realised how great the demand has become. A few representative enterprises in various lines may be mentioned as evidences of this— The Canadian General Electric Co., the Massey-Harris Company, the Dominion Bridge Company, Eaton's nnd Simpson's Departmental Stores, the A. .MacDonald Company's mail order grocery business, the Hudson's Bay Company's stores system, the Ashdown Hardware Co., Winnipeg, P. Burns & Co., Calgary, ancl Swift & Co., Edmonton,—the last three great concerns Ik .ng purely western products. The fact that Canada has now not one, but three,great transcontinental railway systems is in itself suggestive of the stage the Dominion has reached. In many directions the railway lines run through immense areas so far unpeople, but offering every attraction tei the would-be settler, and it is a foregone conclusion that they will within the next few years become what the southern parts of Saskatchewan ancl Alberta have become during the past twenty years. Tbis particularly applies to the new districts wliich have heen opened up by the Grand Trunk Pacific's transcontinental line, connecting, as it does, with the new Pacific terminus of Prince Rupert, and bringing these farmers into touch with tlie Panama Canal for the shipment of their grain. The country traversed by this line iu Central British Columbia and in Northern Ontario is abundantly fertile, and is rapidly attracting settlers ; and the same can be said of the Peace River country and other parts of the New North-West. The immediate prospects are most favourable. The purchasing power of the farmers is largely increasing The appeal of the Dominion and Provincial Governments to put more acreage under cultivation has met with a ready response. In Ontario, for instance, at least 1,000,000 additional acres have this year been sown to winter wheat. This means practically the doubling of the area previously used for that purpose ; and in the west also the movement has been well taken up. It has been generally admitted that thi< year, on the whole, the crop was bad. However, conditions in the west tbis autumn are said to be eminently favourable for next year's crop. In Manitoba 92 per cent., in Saskatchewan 77 per cent., and in Alberta 50 per cent., of fall ploughing was completed by October Hist. Therefore, knowing thnt the acreage has Ih'cii largely increased, that the price will lie considerably betterthan usual and that the prospects are good, we are entitled to look forward to a rise from this year's acreage of 12 to 14 bisbels an acre to the usual average of IS to 20 bushels, and in consequence to an immense increase in the f the Canadian farmer. Taking everything into consideration, we believe that it will be well worth the while of tbe British manufacturer to look into the Canadian situation and its possibilities ; liear- ing in mind that a comparatively quiet time, such its is the case in Canada at present, just gives the opportunity that is needed of preparing for what is ahead. fAKJflS FOR INFORMATION REGARDING THE BEST AGRICULTURAL LANDS IN THE DISTRICT, CALL ON OR WRITE North Coast Land Co., Ltd., Phone 18.

BURNETT was coming that J censored, but night to dine with them ? The gallant general had lost his nose in some Algerian or Moroccan skirmish, and the little boy contemplated him in amazed silence through dinner. Then, just as dinner ended, in the hush that followed the distribution of coffee all down the table, at the top of his voice, the little boy shouted : " But, mamma, how could I have talked of the general's nose, since he hasn't got one ?" A thought of that general's nose comes back to us, perhaps rather irrelevantly, as we note the ill-success of certain very well meant efforts now being made "not to talk about the war." Talk about the war so often leads to argument, loss of temper, and opposing exhibitions of optimism, pessimism and other prevalent maladies. If you say you think we are "getting on very well on the whole," you are accused of being "unduly optimistic," and perhaps of discouraging recruits, If you remark that things are no more satisfactory than they should be, you are implored not be downhearted. So, for some family or friendly dinners, it has been suggested that there should be "no talk about the war." i What rhall we talk about then?IJilu " (It sounds like a novel by Trollope) letter had been fon the whole, it was moderately optimistic.

The commodious rink gave the players a fair chance, and the many spectators did their share in making things lively. The score resulted iu a victory for Prince, 1-2. Newyears game between South and Central, played at Central last, night, also resulted in the defeat of our boys, the score being pronounced 1 to 3, The game wns a hard light from start to finish, and was rendered unneeessarly rough on account of the small sized rink. Considerable annoyance was caused our boys by several disputes over goals, and tin.' game seemed to go smoother after the "stumbling block" had been removed and an- I other goal umpire substituted. Arc we discouraged? Well hardly, Lots of time yet, boys. Musical Society's Concert and Social. The concert and social given by the Fort George Musical Society al Central on Thursday night, to escort the old year out and tbe new year in, was voted a great success when the gathering broke up at about 12:30 a.m. The concert was held in the large auditorium of the Presbyterian church and consisted of solos, duetts, quartettes and several choruses, all very acceptably rendered. Special mention might lie made of the splendid renditition of the duett "Sympathy" by Mrs. Raddiek of Prince and Mr. Hall of Central, tbe audience showing their appreciation in no uncertain way. A solo by Mrs. Reed of South also brought forth very enthusiastic applause. — After the concert, everybody was invited down into tbe basement to participate in games and partake of refreshments. Iietween 150 and '200 people were in attendance. Congratulations are due the Musical Society for the splendid work they are doing. The Herald hopes that they may succeed in singing all the little discords between the three Georges into harmony. • • » » § limn, - Ankdkiison. A wedding announcement received by the Herald contains the interesting news that A. I). Buchel, formerly of South Port (leorge, has taken unto himself a wife, Miss Emily Inotta Anderson. The ceremony took place at Edmonton on the 22nd of December. Mr. Buchel is well known in our town through his connections with the Port George Hardware Company, of which establishment he wns n active member, The best wishes of many friends follow Mr. ami Mrs. Buchel to New Port, Oregon, where they will be "At home" after January 15th. Proclamation. Qeorge the fifth, by ti>. Grace of Qod, of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Inland and of the British Dominions beyond the Seas, King, defender of the Faith, Emperor of India. To all to whom these presents shall come, or whom the same may in anj wise concern—(\ reel ing. Whereas our Empire has been forced to take up arms in defence of rights and liberties unjustly attacked and to fulfil pledgessolpmnly given. We, therefore, believing it to be fitting that our people should be enabled to make a public and solemn avowal of duty to Almighty God and of need of guidance have thought Iil. by and with the advice of our Privp Council for Canada, lo appoint anil we do hereby appoint SUNDAY, the THIRD DAY of JANUARY next, to hi' throughout our Dominion of Canada, a day of Humble. Prayer ami Intercession to Almighty God on behalf of the cause undertaken b. our Empire ami our Allies anel of those who are offering their lives for it, and for a speedy anil favourable peacc that shall be founded on understanding .ami not hatred, to the end that peace shall endure, and we do invite all our loving subjects through" out Canada toset apart this appoint. ed day as a day of Humble Prayi r and Intercession. Of all which our loving subjects and all others whom these presents may concern are hereby required I" take nolice and govern themselves accordingly. People wish a newly wedded couple happiriC8s~but they don't expect their wish to come true. The man who boasts of the wonders he is going to work never amounts to much as an actual worker. Another Fire Department Dance All the ladies of South Fort George are asked to meet Tuesday afternoon, at the home of Airs. Blair, to arrange ways and means for the next monthly dance for the Fire Department. So many calls and requests have been made for another dance since the one held in December, that it has been thought that one every month would meet the social desires of our people and at the same time help to defray expenses of the Fire Department. If present plans are carried out the dance will be held Wednesday evening, January 13th. Do not forget, all the ladies are asked to participate and meet at Mrs. Blairs, Tuesday afternoon January 5th, at 4 o'clock.
