ROYAL BANK OPENS ON NECHACO TOWNSITE The Royal Bank of Canada opened a branch of their institution in the townsite up the Nechaco River owned by the Natural Resources Security Co. Ltd., this week. This bank, which a few months ago bought in .the Traders Bank of Canada are apparently preparing to place branches throughout the Northern Interior. Mr. H. C. Seaman, the local manager, left this week for Fraser Lake, where, it is understood, he will look over the ground preparatory to the opening of a branch there some time during the coming summer. The visible supply of meat in this town is about exhausted, and unless someone comes to Che aid of the town by bringing in a shipment of cattle the old days of ham and bacon will be revived again. Pat Campbell, of the B. C. Market, informs us that he will leave for the south shortly to drive in a band of cattle. BlLQCM^Di-STiacrlEl The forms of the telephone directory close on Monday next. Advertisers an requested to prepare their copy as soon as possible. The party of men who have been at work on the clearing of the rocks in Giscombe Rapids came into town this week, the work being completed. The local Oddfellows installed their officers for the year at an extraordinary general meeting held last Wednesday evening. A banquet followed the meeting at McGaghren & Thome's hall. Mr. W. F. Cooke and Mr. Russel Peden gave an impromptu banquet to the South Fort George Hockey team and their guests last Thursday evening. Messrs. McGaghren & Thome catered for the affair which was vastly successful as a social affair, the dinner being a$ excellent as those usually supplied by the popular caterers. The committee of the South Fort George Skating Club announce that a grand Fancy Dress Ice Carnival will be held on the local rink on the night of Friday, January 24th. The committee are sparing no expense in the matter. Japanese lanterns and decorative material have been ordered from the coast by express. Refreshments are to be served on the rink and an orchestra will be in attendance. The date as fixed, will of course be liable to change if the weather conditions are not amenable to the occasion. A new mercantile firm opening up for business here shortly is heralded by an announcement made that Messrs. Jermyn & Bowles, who have taken a long lease on the new Hilbert building will open a men's furnishing store on the premises within the next three weeks. Both the partners are well known in this section, Mr. Jermvn having been connected with the Northern Lumber Company for a considerable time, whilst Mr. Bowles was a well known operator on the Yukon telegraph line. The new firm will handle men's apparel exclusively. John 0. Williamson, proprietor of the Fort George Drug Company, left last week for the coast. Mr. Williamson left Edmonton on the G. T. P. survey parties in 1907, working through the Yellowhead pass and arriving in Fort George in the fall of 1907 with the parties under Oscar Englund, one of the district engineers. He was with us when we started the old Cariboo Observer in Quesnel in 1908 and he used to help the editor count his money in the palmy days of the land ad. Since then Mr. Williamson has entered the drug business, and as proprietor of the local pharmacy is well on the way to wealth, happiness and emoluments. Private business takes Mr. Williamson to the coast, and as he has not been on the railroad since 1907 he was the recipient of much advice from b\s many well wishers regarding the nature and habits of street cars, aeroplanes, sneeze-carts and kindred species. Mr. Neville Montgomery, tTTe B. B. Osier of South Fort George will meet Bill at the train and steer him clear of the pitfalls of a great city. MEETING TONIGHT A special meeting of the Conservative Association is called for tonight at 8 o'clock in the fire hall. NAMED "PRINCE OEOROE" Following a request for definite information to lay before a public meeting regarding the name of "Prince George," which it was generally believed would be the name applied to the Grand Trunk Pacific townsite on the old Indian Reserve, the following message was received here: J. B, Daniell, South Fort George, B.C. Regarding your message of 80th December, "PRINCE GEORGE" is official name of our townsite. E, J. Chamberlin. This settles all doubt as to the authenticity of the report which has been current regarding this matter, and which is given publicity for the first time in this issue of The Herald. Prince George will be properly regarded as a sort of sister town to Prince Rupert, as the same extensive preparations for a beautiful townsite of permanent importance are being made here by the railway company as those which preceded the marketing of the Rupert site. DECIDE TO RETAIN NAME OF SOUTH FORT GEORGE The public meeting called to discuss the progress of the question of municipal incorporation held in the Empress Hotel late last week, was an indication of the progress of the movement, and the unanimity of public sentiment in favor of incorporation, as the meeting was entirely representative and enthusiastically in favor of rapid progress toward the realization of the movement's aim. Mr. Patrick Campbell was nominated as chairman of the meeting, discharging the duties of the office in his usual diplomatic and efficient style. Mr. Campbell confined himself to introducing the object of the meeting, calling upon J. B. Daniell to lay before the meeting that information which he has gathered during the progress of his -work towards securing municipal incorporation, entrusted to him by the Board of Trade and citizen's meetings of South Fort George. Mr. Daniell prefaced his remarks by explaining his position in relation to the movement, stating that he had advocated the movement through the columns of his paper, and that he had subsequently been asked to furnish data regarding the work together with others of a committee. When in Vancouver recently the Board of Trade had wired him asking him to push the work through, and he had placed the matter in the hands of the law firm of Bowser, Reid & Wallbridge to have the task completed. The proceedings as defined by the Municipal Incorporation Act, which Mr. Daniell read, have proceeded to the point where the petitions to be presented to property holders were,ready for circulation. These petitions represent an assessed valuation of about 1205,000.00 Owing to the fact that a great many property holders had failed to register their deeds in Kamloops, the speaker explained, it would be undoubtedly necessary to issue supplementary lists after future registrations to make up the necessary value which the act provides must be represented. The deficiency in this matter, however, he explained, was not of great proportions, as the lists now ready for circulation represented most of the improved property within the confines of the proposed municipality, Mr. Daniell showed the reason for the fact that there had been advertised and thnt the documents bore a proposed name of "South Prince George" applying to the proposed municipality. He explained that this name had been submitted by him to the attorneys, and that his reasons for this action were in consideration of the fact that he had it on reliable authority that the ' Grand Trunk Pacific townsite on the Indian Reserve here was to be named "Prince George." The proposal led to considerable discussion at the meeting, several gentlemen objecting to the alteration. Mr. W. F. Cooke of the Northern Lumber Company, stated that the change would demoralize business through the mails here, and until the fact of the G. T. P. townsite going on the market under the name of Prince George being clearly defined, he protested against the change. Mr. Cooke's views were supported by Mr. William Blair. It was finally moved that the question be left in abeyance. Chairman Campbell asked for other speakers after Mr. Daniell had laid his information before the meeting. Several gentlemen spoke briefly on the subject, endorsing the movement and expressing the general sentiment that it should be rushed to completion. It was suggested that as considerable work had to be done in connection with the movement, a committee should be appointed to take the work in hand. The following gentlemen were thereupon appointed: C. E. McElroy; W. F. Cooke; John Monro; H. B. Close; J. B. Daniell; John Cn.'m pbell; H. C. Seaman and Al'.e. t Johnson. A strong feature of the meet ing was the absolute lack <r position to the movement, spite of repeated requests froin the chair for some expressions of opinion against Municipal Incorporation none were forthcoming. It is urged upon property holders having titles to their lots to lose no time in registering their titles in, the Kamloops registry office. The committee appointed by the public meeting to undertake the work of promoting the movement for Municipal Incorporation, called a public meeting last Monday tr decide the name of the proposed municipality. The name "South Prince George" introduced into the incorporation proceedings, was abandoned after considerable discussion in favor of the old name, South Fort George. The concensus of opinion at tho meeting was that the proposed change of name would serve to further complicate our already badly mrxod-up mail delivery system here, but tho opinions expressed go to show that the town will stand ready to make whatever changes may be expedient in the miitter ofiftjnpw name when the deve,opment of the Grand Trunk Pacific town- site is an established fact. / PAGE TWO '*■ t-. a: I ■ r 1 . f iff W'| * -, ' V FORI GBHRE HERALD PUBLISHED BY THE NORTHERN INTERIOR PRINTING GO. Ltd. J. B. DANIELL. PBESID6N1 Devoted to the interests ol Fort Oeorge and tbe entire Northern Interior. Subscription $3.00 a year. J. B. DANIELL. Editor. The oldest hardshell partisan supporter of the McBride administration residing in the Fort George district will be willing to admit that the government appears to show reticence towards the inception of such progressive measures as present conditions would justify for the facilitation of government business, and for the convenience of the public generally, in this rapidly-advancing territory. We support the administration from honest convictions, yet we believe that honest criticism of such shortcomings are in the very best interests of the community. "New British Columbia" is the title given to the Northern Interior region by the provincial government in the booklets of their information bureau. If present conditions will warrant progressive changes in the administerial affairs that affect "New British Columbia," then how great is the justification for such measures when the future is taken into consideration. In the matter of the registration of title, for instance, documents must be forwarded from the northern country to Kamloops on the C. P. R., where for years past a land registry office has been looking after the affairs of a territory as large as an empire, and in spite of the fact that the larger part of that territory has graduated from a wilderness into a rapidly settling section being developed by a transcontinental railway, no changes have been made towards the facilitation of the land registry business and the people of this section have to secure registration of their important documents and titles from a place six days distant in travel from Fort George, and from an office that is congested with the ever-increasing business of this huge territory. That this matter is a serious inconvenience was exemplified recently when search of registered title as a statutory provision in the proceedure for municipal incorporation revealed the fact that the percentage of registered titles in property held here is very small. How futile must always remain the influence of the press upon the public—in comparison to the enormous influence it could command—as long as the vain, ranting hypocrites and the vicious, snarling jackals of the profession continue to issue their sheets, the world over, in which the blind attack or the studied praise of some party or policy forms the permanent excuse for their existence. That sort of journalism is not calculated to lend itself to good influences, peace of mind or progressive conditions, yet year after year one may pick up some particular publication and find spread upon its pages the ravings of a mind that has become deranged by morbid concentration upon some subject on which the writer has become"* monomaniac. Down in Vancouver there are several examples of this condition, notably in the absurd attacks focussed upon Attorney- General Bowser by our old friend, the townsite promoter's journalistic handy man who edits the Saturday Sunset. Thia editor chafes under the knowledge that Bowser is proving himself to be a bigger and more capable person every day. Because the attorney-general refused to jail a crowd of chalk-faced prostitutes who had been committed owing to a quarrel between members of Vancouver's municipal government regarding the segregated area, the Saturday Sunset and others of its ilk proceed to fall over themselves in spasms of invective directed against the attorney-general. This is but one instance of such conditions; sometimes the monomaniacs fall foul of each other, whilst neither try along practical lines to accomplish any specific service for the public they are supposed to serve. And so our boorish old friend, William Blakemore of the Victoria Week, monomaniac on the subject of the immaculateness of the McBride administration, comes in for a horrible "roast" from the pen of the monomaniac on the subject of Bowser in Vancouver. These "influential" journals will continue to lie and rave and publish hypocritical balderdash about any subject that will support their monothought, until someone butts into the offices and smashes them between the eyes, or other strenuous measures are taken to promote peace and harmony, and get a change of program for their long-suff Jring readers.

Captain Foster, who is in charge of the work of blowing out the rocks in the Hudson Bay Gardens, a point in the river about 5 miles below here, was a visitor to town recently. Captain Foster has had much experience in the clearing of channels in the Fraser river, and stated to the Herald that there will not be much trouble experienced at the gardens after his gangs get through with their work. The trouble, he states, at this point, which caused so much trouble to the steamboats last fall, is that for a distance of about 300 yards the river bottom is covered with large boulders embedded in solid clay. These boulders are now being blown to pieces. CHURCH SERVICES. ST.

The enterprising promoters were undoubtedly gratified at the success which attended their efforts, for a more enjoyable evening than that spent by the large cosmopolitan gathering would be hard to imagine. The main floor of the theatre was crowded to capacity with three long tables, each of which seated about forty. These tables were filled twice. Mr. John Mclnnis, the well-known local Socialist, was prevailed upon to take the chair, which he filled with that peculiar good taste which characterizes his public speaking. The banquet opened with a toast to His Majesty, and many other toasts appropriate to the occasion were drunk and replied to by the gentlemen present. The one regrettable incident was the absence of Mr. A. Forrest, to whose energy and organization the Wanderers' dinner owes its inception and continued success, for Mr. Forrest was unavoidably detained. Senior's orchestra rendered excellent music and accompanied the many vocal selections which entertained the assemblage during the evening. Two four-round sparring matches were also staged which assisted greatly towards the success of the evening, which, together with a clever monologue and the vocal talent completed the evening's entertainment HOCKFJ GAMES in favor of South Fort George. Frank O'Flaherty, one of the local team's cleverest players, was playing with a partly crippled arm, an injury sustained at the game here on Christmas day, this fact weakening the South Fort George team considerably. The play was hardly of the gentlest, and Referee McLaughlin put several of the players off the ice for short penalties during the game. The excitement was intense throughout, and the "rooters" in the gallery filled the air with the tumult of their cheering. The next game will be played here tomorrow, 12th inst, and if won by the home team the cup will be theirs, three games out of five winning the trophy, Intend Building?

Free love is the only cure for this evil, but tl*? world is not yet far enough advanced to embrace the true meaning of those two words. When it does the mil- lenium will be here, and the .whiz of wings will be unceasing. G. T. P. & P. G. E.
