Brown of the South Fort George team sustained a slight cut over the «ye. ■ left the work on his farm well under way; the breaking and plowing of 50 acres this fall, building of barns, out buildings, residences, on which he has now at work sixteen men. The scene of this activity and development is in township one, section 22 and township 2, sections 81 and 82, about a mile and a half south of Vanderhoof and Nechaco City, on the Grand Trunk Pacific, 71 miles west of this City of the Georges and 36 miles from Fraser Lake. The development in which the Doctor and his associates are engaged is for the purpose of demonstrating to the world, what the country will do when properly worked. They will establish a stock farm, with the best bred stock of horses, cattle, hogs, poultry, etc. that can be got. For this purpose the Doctor has located his buildings on one of the sections where he has ready to hand meadows of GO and 100 acres each, which it is the purpose to disk and harrow this fall and sow to timothy, The final purpose is to encourage settlers to come in on this land and purchase 160 acres, or quarter sections, at low prices, on easy payments, long terms, and small interest charges, The Doctor's associates include F. W. Listikow of Winnipeg, and Pass'edeno California, Fred Engen of Saskatoon, Sask., G. R. McQueen of Minneapolis, and others. The district selected for this development and demonstration is rich in natural conditions for jubt such work. With Vanderhoof and Nechaco City a mile and a half to the north, with the crossing at this point into the Stewart Lake and Omineca mining country, enjoying as will the business of Mapes and | Stoney Creek Districts, already j nesday and Saturday p. m., and leaving Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday a. m. Rush Brothers City Express Company have the contract to carry the mail to and frm the Post Office and G. T. P. ..e; Vancover and coast mail will be carried via Edmonton. With a greater rural population than any other section of the Northern Interior of British Columbia and the outlet to the Fort St. James, Omineca and Stuart Lake country to the north, it bids fair to be a very important section. Already freight is movin. into the Ominecca and Stuart Lake country via this point and MilneB Crossing of the Nechaco, it being 80 miles nearer to the Omineca mining country than Hazelton and a better road, also the Fort Fraser people are realizing the value of the surrounding country and traffic and people are finding their way to this point. The Doctor's farm and home is located at Tsinket River in townsite 1, section 22, The Doctor will return to his farms in a few days to continue the development as he is anxious to get as much work done this fall before winter seta in as possible realizing that next year will be an important year in the development and settling of this entire country and it stands every interest in hand to make the best progress possible to encourage immigration antl settlement when the present world wide disturbances are at an end and peaceful pursuits are again renewed. lhe Doctor believes with the Herald that there will be a great influx of people from Europe and the entire world for that matter, into this country and that the present is the time to prepare for it. The City of Georges is as much interested in this development as the settlers at that point themselves as the centering of railroad facilities here to the east and south to Va ico i ••. add greatly to ou ■ ■ imm i standing and business interests opening up to us trading points and sources of agricultural supplies and traffic.

THE FOHT GEORGE | HERALD On this pa.ee of the Herald we print a statement that all who are interested in the Northern Interii r of British Columbia in Prince George, or in the greater city of all the Georges, sh* aid read and take advantage of, Property in this City and section is owned the wid. world over. What is more natural than that you should keep in touch with the city, the surrounding country, and its development. Subscribe to its Newspaper and have it sent to you as published. You are thus doubly benefited by getting all the news that's " fit to print" and at the same time helping in a small but most effective way to develop the country and improve your proper;. We will, by your support, be able to enlarge and expand our sheets and serve the country and your interests to a better- purpose, The Herald anticipates a full mail from subscribers and correspondents as a result of this announcement. THE CITY OF THE GEORGES October opens with a better feeling throughout the district, that very soon pronounced activities will commence in renewed development plans temporarily abandoned in the beginning of hostilities in Europe. The visit of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway Officials last week, announcing that the Round Houses would be pushed to completion, and this week, the report that Mr. J, W. Stewart, President of the Pacific Great Eastern Railway, was on his way to the Georges to commence the work ori the railway to the North into the Peace River, with the announcement that the opening and grading of Fourth Street to Queen and Ontario connecting South Fort George with George Street, added to an undoubted improvement in business, and the expectation of other announcements in the near future, all of which will surely be of benefit to the district, has with the news from the seat of war that the Allied Armies have been slowly but surely making headway against the Germans, is a bunch of good things, sure to encourage the most doubtful. We have all along contended that things were better than they seemed. And with the undoubted advantages possessed by the City of the Georges in its location with its rich surrounding country, north, south, east, and west, the present arrested development caused by untoward happenings in the financial and political world can only be for short duration, and when conditions change, as they will, we may expect a rush that will change the whole aspect of affairs and the development of the early part of this year will prove insignificant to that to follow after the quiet spell of the later summer and early fall. TO A FINISH. Those who hope for peace at an early date will find no encouragement in the new treaty between Great Britain, France and Russia. Binding themselves not to conclude peace separately, the duration of the conflict is made to hang not upon the necessities __> Dear Sir, The Fort George Herald is the leading paper in the Fort George - Prince George district. It invites your support and subscription to its weekly issue at $3.00 per year (to United States $3.50.) Although published in what is known as South Fort George at the present time, when the plans for incorporation are carried through in the next session of the Provincial Legislature, it will be an important part of the greater Prince George or City of the Georges. Up to last spring, Prince George of the ' Grand Trunk Pacific, was a woods, and the Herald had only two towns to select from as its abiding place. Naturally it took what is known as South Fort George, and there it has stayed, weathering all the storms of Pioneerhood and early viscisitudes, but now it is time to expand into the greater City of Prince George, or City of the Georges, as some prefer to think it will be. But the name does not really matter to us. We are interested in the future of this city-to-be (and it will be). You need our paper to keep you posted. The owners of this paper are self-made business men and pioneers in the Northern Interior of British Columbia. They recently took over their property, and have in the interests of the district undertaken to carry on the paper and are giving it their support and attention. If any of our subscribers have felt neglected or have not been regularly served, we hope they will not let the past operate against their future interest in the paper or the district, but remember that up to this time we have been a frontier town with poor mail facilities - But from this coming week yon will hare tbe Railway Mail Service to depend on. We ask your support and remittance of $3.00 to pay one years subscription. You need to be kept advised on the developments of this section of British Columbia, Prince George especially, and no better medium exists than the Fort George Herald. We will print only the reliable information that comes to hand. Unreliable gossip does not make a town or keep the people informed on matters of development that is of value. Our paper may be small at the start but we intend that what you read in it shall be true so far as we can make it. Our records show that some of the addressees of this circular have allowed their subscription to lapse. That is as much our fault as yours. But we have continued sending you the papers just the same. Now it is up to you to have the same faith in us as we have had in you, and send us $3.00 now to renew your name on the list. President and Manager.

"The present war may easily involve 20,000,000 combatants," said Mr, Tesla. "I have seen an estimate of a total cost of $50,000,000 a day. This is too low. The number of those disabled through wounds and disease was recently placed at 500,000 This also is too moderate. It would be less than 2 1-2 per cent., and it must be remem the most recent great war precedi Balkan struggle, the casualties we greater, or 25 per cent.

London.— The command of the Canadian forces on arrival at the front will be taken over by Major General Anderson, the popular command- j er in the South African wars. London.—The Boer General Francois Joubert Piennar has arrived in Europe and tendered his services to the English allied army, San Francisco.—Reported that the Japanese forces have defeat- ed the Germans in several important engagements ir> China. Vancouver.—Such news as has ' been allowed to leak through up to Wednesday of this week, reported little change in the situation, What news there was is favorable to the English, French and Belgium armies. The Germans attacked constantly day and night with great violence but have been unable to make headway or break the allied armies positions. The Kaisr is reported in East Prussia trying to stem the rush of the Russians and equalize their conquests. The 108th Regiment German Reserves is reported as surrounded by the French and annihilated. This Young Leader of a Patriotic and Courageous People is the Most Democratic and Accomplished of Kings Standing supremely unique among the figures who are making history in the great war, which will mark a new era for Europe, is Albert, King of the Belgians, newspaper man, expert engineer, lover of mankind and most democratic of all rulers. Nobody ever heard much of Albert Leopold Clement Maria Meinard before that eventful day when he sent word to his soldiers at Liege to "hold out" against the Germans massing at Herbestal. The exhortation breathed such a dauntless, bombastic assurance that those who read smiled grimly and a little sadly as they reflected that tiny Belgium would prove a tidbit for the Teuton war hosts. But Liege has long held out, and Albert, King of Belgium, which includes some sizable cities and is said to enjoy more prosperity per capita than any other European country, is riding at the head of his army of 200,000 men.
