The Incorporation of Prince George having been effected, the dales set for nominations, and election, the Returning Officer having been appinted, it would seem as if it were time to give some attention to this all important subject. As the people of Prince George start out on their civic way so will the future history be marked or marred in its welfare and uaefulness. Several excellent men have been put forward for the office of mayor, Messrs. Neil Gething, Frank Ellis, J. X. Armstrong and Mr. Porter (of the Porter Hay & Grain Co.) most prominently mentioned, All are well known and have had much experience in matters pertaining to Government. Candidates for Aldermen, and School Trustees are not as yet so active, but as only one of the numerous candidates for mayor can occupy that position, and, all being men of quality, it might be well to accept the suggestion that has been made, that the candidates .not successful for the office of mayor, should allow their names to be sent up for the offices of aldermen. The Herald has no choice in the matter, except in its interest in the welfare of the new city. South Fort George voluntarily retired from the incorporation area, but its business men have not retired from their investment and property interests in Prince George. They have a keen interest in its welfare, but by reason of the qualifications of residence in the bill, they will not have an opportunity to qalify as office holders, yet they should by right be represented in some way, in the municipal council, and as all of the candidates for mayor are interested in South Fort George, tie property own- ners and business men from South who have at all times stood with Prince George, look to the choice of such men to fill the positions who will govern in the interests of all. By their unselfish act in voluntarily withdrawing, South made incorporation possible, and helped Prince George to a start alone in the municipal arena unencumbered, but the people in Prince George should remember this and see that their friends and well-wishers in the South end, who are so vitally interested in the future of Prince George, are made at one with them in these civic matters. The Herald believes that wise counsel will prevail, that notwithstanding the division of opinion on many matters pertaining to incorporation, etc., that what is is best and that the very best interests of the new city will be taken care of by the men to whom her welfare is entrusted. The position of alderman is fully as important as that of mayor, and not to be despised. The people of South Fort George will have a right to vote on tho question of name—Prince George or Fort George. Price Five Cents Pushing P. G. E. Rails Has No Doubt Dardanelles Toward Prince George.! Can Be Forced. Mr, A. H. Sperry general man-: ager of the Pacific Great Eastern I Railway announces that the j bridge across the Fraser River at) Lillooet is now so far advanced j that the track laying gangs were busy putting down the steel rails on that structure. With the completion of the bridge and the const nation of the track to that point the track will be pushed still further ahead towards Prince George and a junction with the Grand Trunk Pacific. Meantime a regular mixed pas- senger and freight service is being operated on the section be- tween Squamish and Lillooet. During the spring, summer, and fall, the company proposes to conduct a regular week-end ex-1 cursion to Lillooet over its line. Passengers will leave Vancou- ver on Fridays and return on Saturdays and Tuesdays. The connection with Squamish will be made by boat out of Vancouver, lhe Master fishing excursion, although marred by rain, was successful, a fairly large number making the trip to the northern town for the lirst time. Rome. Admiral Bettolo, who several times has been Italian minister of marine, is quoted in an interview as declaring he always has believed, and still believes, the Dardanelles can be forced, although the difficulties today naturally are greater than they were a few years ago, because of the improvements made in the defences aiid the direction of German officers.

Oltawa, Ontario. — Realizing that the question of the unemployed is becoming an acute problem in the larger cities of Canada, the federal government is taking steps which may lead to the deportation of many of the foreigners who are at the present time out of work in these cities. This developed in the House of Commons last week when replying toaquestion by Mr. LaChance Premier Borden stated that the government is considering the advisability of deporting foreigners who are out of work in large cities, including Montreal, Toronto, Winnipeg, Vancouver, and Victoria.

HAMILTON, Pioneer Trader—Conservative Candidate for Member of Provincial Parliament, from the new Electoral District of Fort George. Unfortunate Shooting on Railroad at My FERRY ACROSS THE 'BOWSER REPLIES TO FRASER RUNNING.! THAT LIBERAL SLOGAN The Ferry across the Fraser River connecting Prince George, Hudson's Bay, and South Fort George, with the agricultural country to the east, was successfully relaunched this week and opened for business for the season on Tuesday. For the first time in 26 days, teams were able to pass over the river, that being the elapsed time between safe passage on the ice and the ferry. It hardly seems in keeping with the times that the ranchers and residents passing to and fro between these important parts of of the district should not have constant communication the year round by the bridge, and that they should be deprived of this facility by differences between the Grand Trunk Pacific and the Government. We shall hope that before another winter and spring comes around, the bridge will be opened for traffic and the ferry abolished. Borden Accepts Senate Changes. Ottawa.—Sir Robert Borden in the commons on behalf of the government, accepted the amendments made by the senate to the resolution praying that an address be sent to the King providing for an increase in the representation in the upper house in Western Canada and that the representation of a province in the commons shall never be less than the number of senators to which it is entitled. The amendment provides that this does not come into effect until after the dissolution of parliament. Speaking to the Ward Three Conservative Association at the j Orange Hall, Vancouver, Hon. IW. J. Bowser took a little fling 'at the "Smash the Machine" cry ! of the Liberal party and had a few caustic comments to make ; on that subject. Mr. Bowser was in a genial mood and bore a verbal olive branch as regards the Labor and Socialist parties. j "Last week I had an experi. ence in the Labor Temple, but 1 : do not attribute the row to the ; Socialists or Labor men, because | people came to the meeting to ihear my explanation of the 'Workmen's Compensation bill and to offer criticism, which is exactly what the government de- | sires in regard to that measure and explains why we have laid it j on the table. I was very sorry the bill was not debated at that | meeting because it would have led to beneficial discussion. "The men who caused the row were the men who gave three cheers for Brewster. That gave i the game away. It, is certain that the Labor men would not cheer for Brewster, and it is e- qually certain that the Socialists would not cheer for Brewster. Therefore the rowdies were Liberals or that branch of the Liberal party which is ashamed of the term Liberal and calls itself Progressive. (Continued on Page 4) NAVIGATION TO QUESNEL. The gasoline launch "Rounder" formerly the "Viper" has made two successful round trips to Quesnel this season, and is on her third trip. The distance can now be made in one day by the "Rounder." Mr.Bloom, the owner, stated to the Herald that the single trip can be made in twelve hours, enabling passengers lo leave Quesnel and catch west bound trains same day from here, i Wednesday and Saturday nights, Minister Say* War is nol yet Really Started j &\i0 ((l(1 oasl bound (rains, Sun- j day and Thursday mornings. Major Cen. Hon, Sam Hughes, minister of militia, in a recent interview stated that there are now tinder arms 101,400 men in the Canadian forces and added that recruiting would continue. The minister denied that there was any curtailment in recruiting and stated it as his opinion that the war is only commencing. 101,400 Canadians Now Under Arms Candidate Dies. Vancouver.—W. C. Gladwin, Conservative candidate for North Vancouver, died Monday of this week. He had been ill for four months, and was the former fire warden for the district, Says Disarmament Is Only Solution Rome.- Senator Morandi, former tutor of King Victor Em- manual, who presented in the senate a resolution favoring disarmament, has written a long article supporting his views, which he says should be discussed more widely if Italy is likely to turn from neutrality to war, since a lasting peace would be impossible without a partial and simultaneous disarmament of the great nations. He contends that [only those countries which in-; I tend to prepare for another war I j immediately after the close of the present conflict can disagree; with this view. Senator Morandi recalls that when the four powers allied a- gainst Napoleon considered tho J French emperor defeated, they agreed in London in June, 1814, to reduce their forces by half, but owing to Napoleon's return from Elba there was no real disarmament until after Waterloo, The conclnsion reached by Senator Morandi is that without disarmament the world must expect I "not revolution but anarchy " I For some time past trouble has been brewing for the railway crews on freight trains out of Prince George by reason of for- t igners, stranded here, forcing themselves on freights and endeavoring to beat their way toI McBride and Edmonton. The matter has become so ser-1 ious that the train crews had re- ceived orders from their superior officers that it must be slopped. This order was, however, easier given than obeyed, but the orderi Hudson's Bay Closes. The people of this district were taken by surprise the past week by the receipt of instructions by Manager Laing, to close the Hudson's Bay Co.'s Post here, and transfer the large stock on hand to other posts. It had been the previous intention to ship out only the surplus unbroken lots held at this post to Fort St. James and other interior fur trading points, keeping at this store the broken lots of which there was a large stock for outfitting surveying and pre-emption parties, or prospectors, the Hudson's Bay store on the bank of the Fraser, being very convenient to loading canoes and other water craft which took ninety-per cent, of such expeditions up and down j river, either by the Fraser or Nechaco, or even by pack horse. The old post will be another important link betweon the past, the present, and the future of the Interior of British Columbia that has had to give way to the march of Father Time. For 110 years has it been the objective of the outside world, and when a year ago the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway was laid into the Fort George district, and the new town of Prince George came into being on the land formerly held by the Indians on the adjoining reserve, its end was seen not to be far off—that is as an outlying trading point for the Indians, trappers, or outfitters. But without doubt as the town grows in importance the Hudson's Bay Co. will as in other places throughout the Dominion of Canada, erect a large Department Store at some point within the incorporated area of Prince George, and thus keep alive its interest in the welfare and business life of the community. Messrs. Laing and Richards with a force of men are now engaged in packing and marking for distribution to other posts, the stock on hand wich will take several weeks. There are many of the pioneers still residing in the district, who will remember with peculiar interest the old Hudson's Bay Post and could its ancient walls have retained in phonographic record the tales and incidents of the past 110 years a lively and real red blood history of events would be the result thereof. We shall look forward to the re-entry of the Hudson's Bay Co. in the business life of the community, with a feeling that the future great city to be on the banks of the Fraser and Nechaco Rivers will not be complete without this link with the past.

Train crews know too well the trouble such conditions involve for them, if not bodily injury. Such was the case on last Friday's freight train, east bound. The worst of the matter is that it is usually the Austrians and natives of countries at war with the Empire who are causing most of the trouble, probably secretly imbued with the idea of revenge if given the least provocation, (Concluded on Page 4.) G. T. P. Inaugurate Tourist Service Prince Rupert - St. Paul The Grand Trunk Pacific Railway have inaugurated a through Tourist Car service between St. Paul, Minnesota, and Prince Rupert, the Grand Trunk coast terminus. The car will be electrically lighted and modern in every respect. It will leave St. Paul every Wednesday over the Great Northern Railway, via Winnipeg, reaching Prince George every Saturday evening and Prince Rupert Sundays. Returning, the car will leave Prince Rupert Wednesday morning, pass through Prince George Thursday morning and arrive at St. Paul via Winnipeg Sundays. Prince George has been allotted a large portion of the accomodation on this car with Prince Rupert and Edmonton. Patrons will find this service and route up to the usual excel' lence maintained by the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway in'all their passenger accomodations. Kitchener Calls on Canada for Second Force Lord Kitchener has called on Canada for a second expeditionary force. The news was given parliament Saturday night by Premier Robert Borden who said that the call had been expected for some time. Now that the summons has come the second expeditionary force would go forward at an unrevealed date in the near future. Mayor Newton Re-Elected. Prince Rupert.-Mayor S. M. Newton was re-elected by a majority of 86 over Alderman T. McClymont. McClymont resigned to oppose the mayor, who had appealed to the people when threatened with a possible technical disquslification, unasked by his opponents. Mayor Newton's supporters are jubilant over the victory. Newton did no canvassing, based his candidature on past record as mayor twice and made only one last minute reply to "Hacks of opponents. OPTION ON COAL. New Hazelton.—It is reported that an option on the Copper River coal property has been taken by the North Pacific Development Company, of Vancouver, a strong corporation, which will send engineers to examine the mines as soon as the trail is open.

At the present the crowds that gather to hear the speakers seem to be having the time of their lives in heckling and otherwise preventing the speakers from being heard at these meetings. This characteristic manner of expression of the Vancouver voters does not seem to be confined to any one group of candidates, Labor, Liberal, Socialist and Conservative all being treated alike, While Mayor Taylor is trying to negotiate Joe Martin and the mayorality, he has also announced himself as Independent Candidate for Member in the Provincial Legislature. the Empire by the raising of food stuff.

HULKS FOB IM WITH FIRE IN THE WOODS. If every person strictly observed these simple rules, the great annual loss by forest fires would be reduced to a minimum. 1. Be sure your match is out before you throw it away. 2. Knock out your pipe ashes or throw your cigar or cigarette stump where there is nothing to catch fire. 3. Don't build a camp fire any larger than is absolutely necessary. Never leave it, even for a short time, without putting it out with water or earth. 4. Don't build a camp fire a- gainst a tree or log. Build a small one where you can scrape away the needles, leaves or grass from all sides of it. 5. Don't build bonfires. The wind may rise at any time and start a fire which you cannot control. 6. If you discover a fire, put it out if possible ; If you can't, inform the nearest Forest Ranger or Forest Guard as quickly as you possibly can. H. G. MARVIN, Diatrict Forester. SEASONABLE HINTS money paid for lhe submarines is unaccounted for. This is pretty poor politics. In the the first place it is not true, It has been most distinctly stated that the cheque for this amount was cashed by Mr. J. B. Patterson, manager of the Seattle Drydock Co., which accounts for it exactly as the payments to the Electric Boat Company of New York are accounted for. Mr. Patterson in a letter read by Sir Richard McBride in the House expressly stated that this amount covered his charges in connection with the assembly of vessels, which were sent from the East "knocked down" and for his profit, and that no part of the money was paid to anybody in commissions. No part, of this is denied, but the Sun in common with certain Liberal papers has the contemptible meanness to insinuate tbat Mr. Patterson did in point of fact pay a commission to somebody.

Rowdyism Not Argument The Victoria Colonist recently published a comment on the treatment accorded the Attorney- General and other speakers at Vancouver which is here reproduced, and in which the Herald fully concurs. All fair minded men will without regard to party or politics endorse this verdict of censure to that kind of rowdyism. "Mr. Bowser had a somewhat lively time at a Vancouver meeting the other night. A political friend of his, who was present, said that our despatch report barely did justice to it, and that organized rowdyism, while not triumphant, certainly made things about as bad as they well could be without preventing the Attorney-General from saving anything at all. As it was, Mr. Bowser was able to say some of the things he wished to say, but not all. The effect of the rowdyism upon the audience was quite different from what its organizers contemplated, and expressions of opinion were many that such unfairness was bound to react upon those responsible for it. "Rowdyism is not, and never was, an argument, and while it is almost too much to hope that opponents of the Government can he persuaded to abandon it wholly during the forthcoming campaign, we think if not unreasonable to expect that the! respectable and responsible men among them will endeavor to hold their supporters in check.

Talk about the palmy when the Klondike miner would light his pipe with a ten dollar bill, Mr. Ewing Buchan, liquidator of Bank of Vancouver, can outvie them all. Mr. J.

In the half million dollar bonfire which Mr. Buchan is arrang- ! ing, there will be 01,181 five dollar bills, 12,200 ten dollar bills, ; 2707 twenty dollar bills, 85 fifty dollar bills, and 8 one hundred dollar bills. Altogether the list represents, together with some mutilated bills, a total currency of $487,092.50.

To date it is estimated that War Office contracts for nearly $80,000,000 have been placed in this country, that the articles ordered exceed 200 in number, and that 3,000 factories benefit by the new business. A GROWING BUSINESS. This business will continue and grow till the war ends. Russia is said to have bought $3,000,000 worth of Ross rifles, while the French Government's contracts for saddlery, harness, and other materials run into large figures. Already some 30,000 horses have been purchased in Canada for war purposes, and the demand continues so strong as to threaten a serious diminution of the supply needed for domestic purposes. Russia is understood to be making large purchases through the Hudson's Bay Company.

The fanners are responding in their thousands to the call of the i ;'it.- f„r greater production. They have realizt'd that every bushel raised means a bushel more for export to Britain ; that this is one ■ray of displaying patriotism. With favorable weather, Canada's crops this year will be the greatest in ber history far greater than ' ' J of us thought possible a year age). Now, tee round out the scheme requires equally patriotic action in the towns and cities. The people of every community, large and small should make vacant lots and back yards productive by raising their own vegetables and garden stuff. Every pound raised, remember is another pound furnished toward Britain's needs. Send for the Government Bulletin This Department will forward free a special bulletin entitled "The Vegetable Garden." The simple instructions arc easy to follow and make success practically certain, even to those without experi- ■ ne'e. The best methods of cultivation for the following vegetables are fully described ;-Tomatoes, Onions, Cabbage, Cauliflower, Celery, Melons, Watermelons, Cucumbers, Squash, Pumpkins, Carrots, Par- nips, Beets, Turnips, Salsify, (or Oyster Plant) Raddish, Peas, Beans Corn, Egg Plant, Peppers, Spinach, Lettuce, Parsley, Sweet Herbs, Asparagus, Rhubarb. Vou will enjoy amateur gardening, and profit in health and pocket as well. Children are immensely benefited, get a liberal education in the most practical manner, have outdoor amusement away from the Btreet, become tho possessors of rich red blood, strong lungs, alert iieiiids. Identify yourself with the national movement. Be a grower. Send for the bulletin and get your neighbors to do the same ; everybody will benefit by the friendly rivalry thus started. No stamp is required on your envelope, for your coupon is truly "On His Majesty's Service." What Local Civic Bodies Can Do Cily and town councils, boards of trade, charitable bodies, women's dubs, horticultural societies, civil improvement leagues, and other organizations working for thc common good can accomplish a great deal locally by identifying themselves with the movement and energetically furthering it by everv means at their disposal. It will mean a thorough and permanent clean-up without cost to the community, a partial solution of the unemployed problem, and the institution of a genuine uplift work. Vegetables and flowers will make better citizens. This Department has formulated a plan telling how tho various civic organizations may be brought together to further this worthy aim, and giving suggestions how to launch and carry on the work to a successful issue. Write at once for the form of organization and get your community properly started in performing its share of "Greater Production." Longfellow could take a worthless piece of white paper and write a poem on it and make it worth $65,000 — that's genius. There are some men who could I write a few words on a piece of I paper and make it worth $7,000,- 1000—that's capital. The United States can take an ounce and a quarter of gold and make it worth $20 — that's money. A mechanic can take material worth $5 and make it into watch springs worth $1,000—that's skill.

The Liberals must think there is something good about that compensation bill, therefore thoy dein't want any discussion of the measure. "This compensation bill is one of the best ever introduced l-y any responsible Parliament. If the Liberals don't wish it explained, there are other people who do. I have been asked by the Trades and Labor Council of Victoria I ei speak on this bill and I wil! do so next week. We invite every criticism of the bill from all sources." Mr. Bowser referred to the Agricultural Aid Bill, which will do much, he said, in settling people upon the land. Tne fact that all avenues of borrowing are now closed owing to the war had, of necessity, delayed the inception of the work, but as soon as the rate of interest dropped so that money could be advenced to legitimate farmers at a reasonable rale, the measure would take practical form. Referring to the election campaign, Mr. Bowser said: 'I think we can promise the Liberals a stirring time. Although I am getting old, at least in years, I have an idea I have one iighi left, Despite the criticism nf the Liberals, the Laborites, the Socialists and even the Independent Conservatives, no man has been able to bring home to any single member of the government any suggestion of wrongdoing. ".hey can ns ai! moon Dominion Trust matters; they can call me Napoleon, the Czar, or the Kaiser, but there is no individual who will stand up and point to a single' thing which indicates that I hnve been guilly of malfeasance in ollice." "1 often smile when I read that manifesto of Brewster which carries the cry of 'Smash the Machine.' I suppose he meant to add 'Put ours in its place.' When they cry smash the machine do they think the people of British Columbia have forgotten the Chinese investigation by Mr. Justice Murphey? Do they think our memory has completely failed us? Do they think we have forgotten the notorious adihinislration of the Yukon by the Liberals?" ■ "I wish I could have been at that Liberal convention and seen the sour faces when they stood up in their hy- pocracy- for it was nothing else- and declared themselves against patronage. No wonder I smile broadly when I hear the Liberals talking about clean poll- tics." *6f Seed Advance To Settlers. ONE car load of Abundance Seed Oats is being imported into the Northern Interior by the Department of Agriculture for sale to settlers who are unable to pay cash for their seed. Notes due December 1st, 1915, without interest are required for all seed obtained. Application and note forms are available at the Government Agent's Office, South FortGeorge. Applications should be lilled and foi warded at once with notes to eeover purchaae price and the freight from Telkwa to local station. The price at Telkwa is three cents per pound. This will make the price at I'rince George $3.49 per hundred. " The maximum order allowed any one settler i.s 1000 pounds. Orders should be multiples of 85 pounds. No grain will be sold for other than seeding purposes and purchaser must have his acreage ready for oats vouched for by two of his neighbors. H. E. WALKER, Provincial Agriculturist.

On several previous occasions crews : had succeeded after much difficulty and ! war of words in lidding the trains out of Prince George of these dead heads, but not without threats from various trouble makers that they would come back, openly threatening trouble with knives and guns. Friday's train was therefore the occasion for a demonstia- , tion. As soeen as the train hail started !nut (ef the yards, it was jumped by : these men. they having eluded the police, knowing that Ihe train could not stop short of several miles from ! town because of the necessity of get- ling the best pos. iide headway to make the grade east of the bridge. j At Shelly the train came to a stop, and when the crew tried to persuade ' the men to get off by peaceable means 1 land of course it is hard to make a foreigner understand, and if he does understand he is quite wise enough to pretend not te.) trouble was at once imminent to thecrew. Every possible ' effort was made to tvert it, by all ! kinds of argument and presentation of '• orders,- it was no use; the Austrians, j according to all reliable data at hand, had come prepared, as they had threat- : ened, to make trouble. Three of them rushed the crew, and one big Austrian, heaving a large stone, inflicted a scalp wound to Conductor Geo. Hughes who was acting as brakeman on this run. The crew felt that it was a fight for (the preservation of their lives, and ; Hughes, having been previously ad- | vised of threats of the men to come ; armed with guns, fired at the advancing men, intending merely to frighten j them off, by pointing low; but in the ' excitement his weapon was a bit high- ■erthan he thought, and the lirst and j only shot hit the most dangerous Austrian in the leg, stopping what looked very much like the necessity of defending their lives. A peculiar circumstance pointing to the evident dangerous character of these men and not learned until later, ; is that the partner of the wounded Austrian is now serving time in jail for attempted holdup a short time before. The wounded man was brought to town pnd attended by Dr. Lazier. The , train proceeded without further trouble 1 to McBride. Conductor Hughes was arrested and brought back to town. At first, not knowing how seriously the Austrian was hurt, bail was thought by the local authorities impossible, Later, however, bail was arranged and Hughes released. The Austrian meantime was sent to the hospital at Hazelton, Attorney Ogilvie haB been engaged by tho Order of Railroad Conductors, and Attorney P. E. Wilson by the Grand Trunk Pacilic Railway Co. to look after the interests of Hughes. John Quinn and H Parkes were accepted as bailsmen for the amount of $5000. The people have felt for some time that the Government should intern the many Austrians in the district who are without work, as enemies of the country, and keep them fed and at work i during the continuance of war. The ; very fact that they arc practically enemies of the Empire, added to the , industrial condition makes for danger .to the community. Much sympathy is felt for the railroad men in the trying position they are placed in, especially for Hughes at this time, in attempting to carry out the orders of the Company, with danger of losing their positions if they fail, and having to face the trouble always at hand when forcing men to get off their trains. The Government recently was forced to feed a large number of aliens in ; this district, being advised of open threats against store keepers etc., unless their destitution be relieved. Magistrate Heme and Chief Constable McGuffie, acting quickly, without doubt saved much trouble. At Ihe coast the , authorities have hail no end of trouble, and without doubt more will come to this section unless stringent measures are taken. Naturally the food question and the attempt to beat their way . out of the country will make the storekeepers and lie freight trains their chief points of demonstration tive Candidate for Provincial member, returned this week from a trip tei Vanderhoof and Fort St. James, where lie lias large business interests. . . * Morley Donaldson, vice-president and general manager of the Grand Trunk Pacifie Railway, arrived in liis private _ar Saturday night and stayed over until Sunday morning, proceeding wist tee Prince Rupert. .Mr. Doualson conferred with a number of the business men of Prince' ami South Kurt (ieorge, regarding matters of development in 111in vicinity.
