When a dog howls you have a choice of two lines of action; you can chase the dog away, or ignore the howling. The editor of a notorious townsite organ in one of the outside sub-divisions here will continue to howl for attention to the impressions he wishes to convey—quite erroneous, faked-up impressions, which, nevertheless, he wishes to circulate, for a purpose prescribed by the townsite people back of his paper. The Herald is endeavoring to mirror the life and activity of the bright and prosperous community in which it is established. The Herald is owned and controlled by the Northern Interior Printing Company Ltd.. an organization founded when Fort George was still a Hudson Bay post and nothing more. The stock of the Northern Interior Printing Company is owned by the president of the company except for five shares held by nominal shareholders. We do not intend to attempt to justify any action of ours through criticism leveled at us by hirelings or promoters of get-rich-quick concerns which seek to dodge or disarm criticism by buying up newspapers, and by attacking such newspapers as they cannot buy up through those which they have bought. Such tactics are beneath contempt. It has been stated of The Hec aid in the organs which are amongst those "bought," that we have been, and are playing a hand against the townsite promoters in the hope of ulterior gain. This is amusing when it is considered that The Herald fought its way through a five- thousand-dollar libel suit last year to attempt to maintain its contentions and uphold its principles. We have no desire to continue a campaign of which everyone has long ago wearied, but we have been forced to continue to protect independent int3r<sti—a campaign which has doomedFort Qeorge at large to lasting suspicion in the minds of investors the world over. We have no need to longer champion the cause of the city we live in against the vicious jealousy of the less important sub-divisions, for this city grows apace, and has passed the doubtful stage for good and all and must ever be an important factor in the development of the great future city which will grow up on the Grand Trunk Pacific townsite of Prince George. The Herald intends to deal in future only with such active issues of the townsite situation as are being misrepresented by the outside townsite interests to the detriment of all the peo- Pe* A SUICIDE PfiirHQN.- This sort of thing is going on all the time. This week a petition has been circulated in the Fort George townsites, setting forth the fact that it is the will of the petitioners that the location of the depot on the Grand Trunk Pacific townsite be as- selected by the Railway Commission. The petition was circulated and signed by the people of the Fort George townsite, and by railroad laborers and others whose real influence to the petition is nil. This petition is doubtless compiled to counteract the effect of a similar document which is being circulated for presentation to the Governor-in-Council, supporting the application for the appeal of the G.T.P., the Hudson's Bay Company and the South Fort George interests to that august body, against the decision of the Railway Commission, an appeal which the Fort George petition prays may not be heard. We want the people of Fort George to know that the signing of the petition circulated amongst them this week, should it help to attain the object of the promoters who brought it into being, means suicide to the fond hopes of us all for the great future of this place. For the future which, realized in its most vividly advertised ^greatness, can alone bring the remotest value to many of the lot holders who will doubtless be induced to sign similar petitions. The reason for this is obvious. If the depot location is forced out of its logical position in the development scheme of the G. T. P. townsite here, this place will not be a divisional point To quote from a statement made by President Chamberlain of the G.T.P. " Moving the station to the point designated by the Railway " Commission will destroy the terminal so far as a divisional "point i3.concerned, and if the order is sustained will necessi- " tate our abandoning Prince George as a divisional point and "moving either east or west irom that location." What are we going to do about this ? Are the people of the Fort George townsite going to allow a townsite promoter and his clique of hirelings, aided and abetted by his personal organ to sway and influence them in a matter which threatens the whole future of this place to a large extent? Think a little. GETS INFORMATION ON TQWNSITES1TUAT10N Mr. A. G. McCandless, President of Vancouver Board of Trade, an Interested Visitor. A. 0. McCandless, president of the Vancouver Board of Trade, and a prominent business man of the terminal city of the C.P.R., was among the arrivals from the south this week. Mr. McCandless ls looking over the townsite situation here with a view to obtaining first hand knowledge of the situation. He Ib much Impressed with the possibilities of the Grand Trunk Pacific townsite as a future city site, and praises the splendid growth and development of South Fort George. The Vancouver Board of Trade, Mr. McCandless states, ls much interested in the trade of thia nnormous territory, which is now largely deviated from the British Columbian commercial centres to Edmonton and eastern points through they construction of the G.T.P. through the Rocky Mountains. Speaking of this matt* to The Herald, Mr. McCandless said be felt assured that on the comple- tikn of the P.G.E., the road which largely owed its early inception and construction to the untiring efforts of the Vancouver Board of Trade, the trade relations which have been enjoyed between Vancouver wholesalers and the mercantile, houses of the north would be resumed many fold., Asked regarding his opinion of the movement now approaching, for the municipal incorporation of South Fori George, Mr. McCandless stated tbat in his opinion this movement should be strongly supported. By municipal incorporation . alone can fwe hope tor proper control of our develovment, and the government of our affairs. ' REDISTRIBUTION ADDS SEVEN NEW SEATS TO B. C In the redistribution bill that is to be brought down in the Dominion House of Commons next session, provision is made for thirteen representatives for British Columbia instead of the present number of seven. The B. C. members have drawn the attention of the government to the proposed Pacific ft Hudson Bay Railway,, and in this connection Mr. Clenvfnts, M.P. for Comox-Atlln said ln Vancouver: "I am thoroughly convinced that the construction of this line will open up a vast stretch of arable land in the interior, and will give) the settler access and transportation facilities which are much needed. With the opening of the Panama Canal, British Columbia will become very important from an immigration saandpoint, and the question is, art we to ship the newcomers who arrive at our ports to Alberta, or into the fine lands of our own interior? It ii up to the provincial aa well as the Dominion Government to assist railway development ln the interior, which will, ln time, provide homes tot several million agriculturists. ENGINEER OF P.6.E. WOKKING FROM QUESNEL Under the direction of Mr. S. A. Dice, a party ot fifteen surveyors have completed the location of the Pacific Great Eastern Railway down Howe Sound from Newport to Point Atkinson. The party haa been engaged for several days on the Horseshoe Bay section, one of the most difficult on the Newport-North Vaneouver division. The Dice party arrived in Quesnel this week and will start work from near that point on the location ot the line. The Pacific Great Eastern Railway is now located from Lillooet to North Vancouver, about' 42 miles long, there are three tunnels nnd heavy rock work. One of these tunnels will be more than 800 teet long. The Howe Sound section, as it is called, will comprise, when completed, one ot the heaviest sections in western railway work. Construction ls expected to start there in the near future, but as yet the railway company has not definitely set tbe date. END-OF-STEEL THROBS WITH INDUSTRY Forwarding of Supplies and Material Proceeding Night and Day—Congestion Somewhat Relieved. Russell Peden, of the Northern Lumber ft Mercantile Company Ltd., who has been at Tete Jaune for some months attending to the forwarding of that Company's scow fleet to this point, returned here this week from the end-of-steel. Affairs at Tete Jaune, Mr. Pc/den states, are still brisk, and the forwarding point from the steel to the river is a hive of activity by day and night. The huge warehouses at that point are forever filling and emptying, although the congestion which marked the opening of the season is not too noticeable now. The Grand Trunk Pacific Railway Company are preparing for the market a townsite about seven miles south of the present end of steel town, to be known as Tete Jaune. ThiB new townsite consists of about 480 acres. A fine depot has already been constructed on the property. Other advices trom up river state that the G.T.P. are extending their train service to Mile 79, twenty six miles below the present forwarding point. This will cut oil nearly fifty mileB of the present steamboat haul down the river, and will greatly facilitate the rapid delivery of freight trom the east to tbis place, as the section of the river between the proposed new rail terminal .-ties this side of a stretch of the Fraser which presents many difficulties for navigation. FOR PROTECTION OF LIFE ON THE UPPER FRASER Action is now taken by the government in the matter ot the protection of lite on the Fraser river as far as is practicable, through Government Agent Heme here, who acted in conjunction with the forest department, through Mr. Marvin here, whose rangers did the work. Large signs have becm painted and posted on the river above many dangerous riffles and log-jams warning the small craft of the dangers below them and directing them into -the right channels. These signs are tour teet by eight. BOXING TOURNEY FOR JUNE 30 A boxing contest, which is arousing considerable interest here, is billed at the Fort George theatre tor the evening of June 30. Professor Morris, the well known boxer, vouches for the success of the event, and states tbat the contestants are under agreement to train for necessary periods and that the prizes will be awarded in the proportions of winner and loser's ends, which will ensure a good contest. The names appearing on the bills as the principals are those of George Allan, who claims tbe title of 1401b champion of the Northern Interior, and "Kid" Kelly, a dark horse from Fort George. „ Allan ia well known aa a boxer here, and has been seen several times in the roped arena. 1 Aa preliminaries Jack Davis, who put Up a good scrap against Allan last winter, will meet Nelson Howard, and Neil McMillan will go four round* with J. E. Lafoe, all local men. HB NECHACO BALL TEAM SHOWS IMPROVEMENT The fourth baseball game in the series between South Fort George and Fort George was played on the home diamond below tbis town on Monday last. The score at this game, whilst re- . suiting in another easy victory tor South Fort George, did not rise to such overwhelming proportions as in the previous games since the beginning of the season. The game closed in the ninth innings with a score ot eighteen to six in favor ot South Fort George. The visiting team had a. lot of new material, and changed its pitcher on three occasions during the game. The South boys easily found the offerings of the different pitchers, however, and in spite of the improved team they played easily ahead ot tbe visitors after the third innings, before which the score was tied and the excitement in the grand stand intense. f The next game is scheduled for tomorrow, on the Fort George diamond. We understand that the Nechaco boys have again brought other new material into their team, and a more exciting game promises to result. Owing to ihe non-arrival of a shipment of paper, the present issue ot The Herald has been delayed in its appearance*. The Committees for tbe Dominion Day celebration, to take .place ln South Fort George, have been busy during the past week in perfecting the details of the fourth annual demonstration, which is to be held here on July 1st. I •ft • FORT GEORGE HERALD Published by the Northern Interior Printing Company, Limited J. B. Daniell, President. Devoted to the Interests of the Fort George District and the Northern Interior of British Columbia. Stetcrienon {3.00 i Yen ii Admit Advertiting *«■« *™ ApplicitiM TRIAL by jury, the international standard of impartial justice, seems to have reached a sorry plight in the court of Oyer and Termini holden in Clinton. That the British Columbia Department of justice looks askance upon the array of eligibles for jury service at Clinton, was proven the other day, when Attorney General Bowser interfered in the matter of selecting a jury from that place for the trial of a murderer. When the editor of The Herald appeared at Clinton on a charge of having criminally libelled a man by printing material regarding him which had previously appeared, wholly or in part, in widely circulated print elsewhere, the presiding judge granted a change of venue from the Clinton court to Kamloops, stating at the latter place that it would have been a travesty on justice to have allowed the trial to go forward at Clinton. We never could understand this. The application presented in the case which affected The Herald contained affidavits which, in one instance were sworn to be perjury; the private prosecutor was well known in the Clinton country, whilst the editor of The Herald had never lived within two hun- miles of the place. And now we behold the spectacle of the attorney-general stepping in, and, by a process of elimination, hand picking the Clinton juries. Is it not that the Clinton Assize should be relegated to the shelf of time which have outgrown their usefulness? It would appear to us that the transfer of the court should be made to a point nearer the upper country from which most of the cases are drawn. The Vancouver World, whilst bigoted by ingrain political standards at variance with the British Columbian government, deals with the matter editorially in a recent issue. The Herald does not indorse the attitude of The World, but we reprint the article as worthy of consideration in some respects. It would be well if every British Columbian, regardless of political party preferences, would accord careful consideration of what deserves to become widely known as the Clinton affair, vitally affecting, as the affair undoubtedly does, that bulwark of popular liberties, trial by jury. The affair can hardly fail to create a profound impression throughout the English speaking world regarding the administration of law in British Columbia. The case of a man charged with murder came before the Assizes. The Grand Jury returned a true bill against the accused, whereupon his counsel, a well- known Liberal, challenged the array of jurors, grand and petit, on the around that they were selected by the sheriff, not impartially, but after receipt of a telegram from the Attorney-General requiring him to go to Victoria, his compliance with that requirement, and his being further required to consult with an appointee of the Attorney-General in the selection of jurors. Counsel for the prisoner, in the plea which he set up, described the alleged partiality of the sheriff as willful, but the probabilities are that he is a Liberal, and that the charge of willfulness was merely the fine irony of high politics, as fineness, or finesse, goes in politics provincial. Whether this be so or not, the account of the case was published in the local Liberal morning paper yesterday, and a few hours later the Attorney-General appeared in the afternoon Conservative paper with an explanation that ran into a column on the front page and a full half column on one of the inside pages. The explanation which the Attorney-General offered of the interference with the selection of jurors is a revolution of things affecting the administration of law in British Columbia that is bound to arrest wide attention. Perhaps the most striking point made in the lengthy statement thus described as the allegation by the Attorney-General, that Counsel for the defence "publicly told me that we could never get a conviction against his client, because he (Counsel for the defence) had such a strong stand-in with the people up there." To this he added Verestchagin painting of a case in the same district in earlier days, in which, he said, "thirty men are said to have been taken out of on* hotel in Ashcroft. They made a hell-roaring drunk of the trip, everybody having a good time at the government's expense." Let it be noted, in passing, that our impression is that at the time of occurrence thus effectively referred to by the Attorney-General, there were not many more than one hotel in Ashcroft; but that is, of course, a mere detail. The explanation, alike because of its length, its general character and th* promptitude with which it has been made, is a notable utterance. In it the Attorney-General virtually asks it to be accepted as a fact that the administration of law in British Columbia is the product of continuous and relentless warring between him and political opponents who have not a strong enough "stand-in" with the electorate to enable them to send even ont representative of their party to the local legislature. Without this, he says, justice cannot be. "Now, we do not always want convictions," he magnanimously concedes, even interpolating the clause-"jpeaking for the Crown—but we do want justice, and that is what we are going to have." Can it be that justice is comprehended in the phase, "paying eff old scores?" Mr. Bowser, at another place in his explanation, is careful to state that "in the larger centres of this province the Jury Act provides that all jurymen shall be named by official 'selectors,' and after July 1st this act shall come into force all over British Columbia." That is to say, that in the larger centres of this province, trial by jury is already trial by juries "officially" selected, and that after J Jy first the same "brand" of justice shall be dispensed at places like Clinton. The act which he thus explained at such length, though' arbitrary, was merely in anticipation of the somewhat doubtful benefits to which Clinton, in common with the rest^of the province, will be fully entitled after July 1st. Several important questions are forced upon the public by this iffair. For example, in this revision and amendment of trial by jury, this supervision of selection of jurors, in accord with, or in violation of, the spirit and tradition! of British law? Moreover, is not the explanation a veritable searchlight, a powerful illuminant, on some otherwise perplexing decisions in cases in more populous centres, in which prosecutions undertaken by political opponents of the Attorney-General have failed, and others, undertaken against political opponents of the Attorney-General have succeeded? Finally, is it anything less or more than ordinary prudence which leads a man who, having entered upon a suit likely to come before an "officially selected*' jury, to abandon it without further and certain loss? • Mr. Bowser's appointee in the symposium for selection of jurymen for the Clinton assizes was Mr. Saul, stipendiary magistrate. That complicates matters some. Otherwise it is conceivable that the legal adviser of a political opponent of the Attorney-General might seek to restrain and dissuade his client from his purpose by addressing to him certain words heard by another of the same name as the stipendary magistrate who, however, was journeying, not from Cariboo to Victoria, but from Jerusalem to Damascus. The explanation contains the statement: "The days of the half-drunken juryman picked up in a hotel bar in Clinton or Ashcroft are over." We believe that to be true. Since it is true, why should the Attorney-General go out of his way te defend the province by dragging an occurrence of those days into an explanation of his arbitrary interference in the selection of jurors for the SBsizjs in session this day at Clinton? The Attorney-General concludes his explanation with a reference to the peo- call "the justice wagon. **---•. - people are behind it, by whatever name he chooses to call it. They sre behind it by the distance which separates the Clinton assizes, from the date of last general election. As a practical politician he might do well to take heed that they are getting further behind it all the time, lest when next general election arrives they should be so far behind it as to be out of eight and call altogether.

It was a trip that would cause many a roughneck tb shiver, and the ladies deserve great credit for staying with the trail. They are the first women to have made the trip on foot.

The present wagon road'from Edson to the lake is 280 miles in length. Leslie T. Zoharb, who has bejen on the frontier since 1906,* several years before the Grand Trunk Pacific and the Canadian Northern Railway com-, paniei started construction work oi their transcontinental lines through the prairie provinces to'the Pacific Coast, said in Edmonton recently tbat most of the old-time freighters and packers, including Tom Mona- gan, Fred Kvaw, W. C. Round and J. A. Brewster, are arranging to participate in tbe trek, which will be one of the most picturesque gatherings tbat has ever taken place in the far western country. "All the pack horses in the Hinton and lake districts will be used," Zoharb added, "and when the outfit reaches its destination there will be meetings to discuss ways and means of moving the government to take action in opening and improving thq trail. The fact that the big pack train has gone over tbe trail should be conclusive evidence of the feasibility of the project. Guides and packers who have been ln the country since territorial days report that the, trail is the shortest as well as the driest in Western Alberta." The Canadian Northern Railway Company holds a charter for a line northward from a point nine miles wdst of Hinton. Survey work is progressing. E. Murray Hill, chief locator, has charge of field operations. Outfits with heavy packs of supplies are being rushed into the district. The Grand Trunk Pacific Railway also contemplates building a branch line from Hinton into the coal districts north of that point. No official announcement has yet been made as to when the work will begin, but it is rumored that engineers will be despatched into the field this summer. The Hoppe syndicate has had a crew of locating engineers- in the district since last fall.. A winter trail baa been eut from Hinton to Muskeg Lake, 100 miles. Part of the route, Mr. Zoharb Bays, could be used as a summer road for paek trains. < men a jricao •_•—- .—. last week bound for the end ot steel at Tete Jaune where they will see see the construction work from its supply base. Speaking of the event of the members of the club iri Edmonton, the "Journal" of that place says: Did you see the members of the Canadian Women's Press Club at the C. N. R. depot last evening? If not then the treat of your life was certainly missed. These renowned penwomen of the Dominion are not ordinary women. There is something more stable, more inspiring about the women who pen their thoughts and help make the literary sphere of Canada. They all gathered along the platform waiting for their train to pull out, and such a happy, jolly, "tickled to death" lot of girls never did congregate on the old station of the capital city of the province. All cares of office work, drudgery of books, work in hand, and even the business of the triennial meeting which brought them here, vanished in thin air, as they looked forward to a day in the mountains, where the exhilarating airjof the Rockies would brace them up for work ahead, Today they are enjoying the sights of the mighty Fraser river, the life on the grade will thrill some of them, the towering peaks of the backbone of Canada will inspire those who have never seen them, and the general scene en route, passing homestead and shack, lakes and rushing mountain streams, crossing swiftly flowing creeks and rivulets from the canyons, will create another chapter in the life volume. The women writers of Canada were like a lot of schoolgirls,-only a little more dignified perhaps. They did not shout and romp about. Their happy laughter, their cheery faces, and general air of pleasure in life made mere man gaze on in awe. Many men went down to the station to see them off. But they were in the minority. This has been woman's week. The Grand Trunk Pacific train drew in to the platform on time, and the ladies got aboard and prepared to settle down for a night run to the mountains. Such a merry chatter of voices, and such a delighted crowd of women they were. Their hosts, the G.T.P., had provided everything in the way of comfort, and four big cars, with a diner, were placed in commission. Promptly at 9.30, just before the regular train for the west went out, the special containing the press women started on its trip to the end of steel, and on their return Thursday morning a delighted lot of women will be telling their friends just how lovely the trip was.

Evans, who recently returned here from a prolonged absence in the cast, is an enthusiast regarding the agricultural possibilities of this section. He has been a visitor to the Fort George and Nechaco territories during the past eight years. Dr. Evans was one of the first to realize the value of this section as a mixed farming and dairying country. Referring to the qualities which make up the enviable record of this section in this regard, the doctor stated to The Herald this week that he had never seen more productive soil or a climate which better assures crops. The rainfall is always sufficient in the spring, he pointed out, to give the crops a good start, and the moisture; of the soil was never dissipated by excessive heat, as all weather conditions were moderate, and calculated to bring splendid crops. The growth of wild berries through the country he referred to as an illustration of the natural richness of the soil. Speaking of summer frosts, Dr. Evans states that he has never seen any vegetation which has actually been destroyed during the growing seasons, by this "bogey" of the northwestern farmer, either early or late in the season. In this matter Dr. Evans referred to the tender poplar leaf, which, he states, is never effected in this country by "summer" frosts, while in the east it is common to see the poplar leaves turn black. As a wonderful demonstration of the lasting quality and rich productiveness of the soil in these parts, Dr. Evans referred to the ground which is under cultivation on the Hudson's Bay Company property here. This soil, he states, still produces splendid crops, without fertilization of any kind, although it has been under cultivation foi the past hundred years. Its crops, he states, equal that of new ground. Dr. Hvans, who is a native of the state of Iowa, in the United States, referring to the seasons here, Bays that the spring here actually comes earlier and the fall of the year holds open longer than those periods in his native state. He illustrated this by stating that on the 19th of December last he saw a second growth of grass in the woods up the Nechaco river. On his return here this spring, the doctor states, he saw stock which had ranged all winter in the Nechaco valley, which was in better condition than that which had been kept up and fed. Speaking of the opening up of this country for agriculture, the doctor stated that a lot of people were under the impression that this was a heavily timbered country, hard to clear. In the large section of the country which was settling today, and at present principally confined to the Nechaco, Little Salmon and Mud River valleys, Dr. Evans points out that the nature of the country is that of bush and meadow lands, easily brought under cultivation. A lot of the country is covered only with second growth timber, which is comparatively light. There being no hardwood timber in the country, the task of clearing even the more heavily timbered land is not very great, at the predominating growths of spruce, poplar and black pine are rooted to the surface of the ground and can be easily removed without the aid of powder or very much grabbing. When piled this timber can be completely consumed with one fire; something impossible where the hardwood timber, common in the eaet, is found. The productiveness of the soil in this country, according te Dr. Evans, is practically double that of the prairie and central states. Seventy-five bush* els of oats to the acre, stated the doc tor, seems to be a minimum crop here. Wild grass may be seen throughout the country, which reaches higher than the horses' backs. The prices of products will always re- main higher here than elsewhere according to Dr. Evans, who finds the reason for this in the fact that the agricultural area is limited and the surrounding country will never produce enough for the home consumption. That farming operation! have been retarded by the. lack of farm machinery is Dr. Evans' opinion, and he states that this has rendered it almost impossible to demonstrate, except in a very meager way, the agricultural possibilities bf this section. As the railway will be within easy reaching distance of here late this fall, however, Dr. Evans expects to see next spring open with a large supply of the necessary machinery on hand and this will assure Referring to the townsites of Prince George, South Fort George and Fort George, which hold practically one position, South Fort George and the Hud- sons Bay property appeal to Dr. Evans as the old original Fort George and form a city or town due to natural growth, being located on the the Fraser River where the trend of waterways and traffic will naturally gravitate to. The old Indian Reser. e, north of the Hudson Bay property, along the Fraser river, or eastern end, Dr. Evans looks upon, together with the proper- erties to'the south already referred to, as the natural centre for the growth and development of the future city, this area being most suitable for development by railroad and river traffic.

H. MacKay, who will act as prosecutor for tbe crown. The two prisoners aroused a considerable amount of excitement in the interior country following the murder of the intrepid provincial police officer, who had been assigned to effect their arrest following their escape from jail, where tney had been incarcerated on another double murder charge. They were held for the Clinton assizes, but a change of venue was successfully applied for, and they were eventually arraigned at:the Vernon aBsizep, but the jury disagreed on the verdict. Another change of venue was then asked for, as it is considered that in view of the present state of public opinion in the neighborhood of the crime, it would be difficult to obtain an impartial jury. the South Western 2031, Cariboo District; 80 chains; thence north 80 chains, thence east 80 chains; thence south 80 chains to point of commencement, COntaiSlsVruVlN^TeONE May 20th, 1913.

L. C. Gunn, one of thc engineers of the Pacific Great Eaetom Railway, who is on his way to this place is at White's Landing, half way between this place and Quesnel. The splendid store being built by Hood's Ltd., on Hamilton Avenue, is now practically complete. It is the largest store in the Northern Interior of British Columbia. Art. Sheridan, accompanied by his brother who recently arrived in the district, reacned town this week from Tete Jaune Cache. "Sherry" is now running scows down the river for Magoffin & Bergh. The county court of Cariboo will sit here on Tuesday next before His Honor Judge Calder. There are nine civil suits on the calendar, and one criminal appeal, in the matter of Rex vs. Nels Nelson, Mr. Neville Montgomery acting for the defense. A man was drowned last Tuesday, when a raft was upset in the Chil- chula rapids, about fifty miles below here on the Fraser river. The raft was occupied by three men who had been working on the grade here, two of whom got aBhore and were picked up by the Steamer B. C. Express. Many more representatives of the Alberta wholesalers and other busing houses from the other side of the Yellowhead Pass were amongst the visitors here this week. Among these were W. R. Bottom, secretary treasurer of Rcvillion Wholesale Ltd. an Edmonton wholesale firm tfiat carries a stock of hardware, dry goods and groceries. Writing from Toronto, Rev. C. M. Wright informs The Herald that arrangements have been completed at the conference whereby Rev. A. C. Justice and wife will arrive here ahnut July 15th. to take charge of the Presbyterian Church in South Fort George. The Nechaco River was successfully navigated this week by the big construction boat "Distributor" owned by Messrs. Foley, Welch and Stewart the railway contractors. Thfe Steamer Robert B. Hammond, owned by the Natural Resources Security Company Ltd., also ascended the Fraser's tributary, both boats reaching a point about 70 miles from the mouth of the river. The first of July Celebration here promise to completely eclipse anything of a similar nature which has hitherto been held here, The committees in charge are organizing the day thoroughly and a good time is expected to be had. I. A. White, proprietor of the City Livery and Feed Stables of Second Street, left here yesterday for Vancouver on business matters. Mr. White has not been on the railway for two years. He will return in his six cylinder Winton car, which is now in Ashcroft, to run a service in connection with his livery business. White should reach here during the next two weeks. Amongst the arrivals from th« coast this week we note the name of Dr. Keely, the well known Vancouver dentist, who is visiting South Fori George professionally, with a view to returning and -locating here permanently at some future date. Dr. Keely is a practicioner of the highest standing, and the people of theBe, communities may consider themselves fortunate in retaining a share of Dr. Keely's summer itinerary. Dr. Keely will be located here, in the Johnson Building, for a few weeks, when he will return to Vancouver for the winter months. The roads between South Fort George and Fort George are in bad shape, and need repairing in the worst way. This work should be done immediately. The motor cars now running between these two towns are entitled to decent roads, and their passengers are entitled to comfortable transit, which cannot be had under the present state of the roads.
