Pat Burns Says $.3 PER ANNUM Fritz van Deusen Canada is Lucky Taken_'°Kaml,ops Having bolted the agreed joint meeting to be held with Prince Oeorge property holders byre- fusing to attend the adjourned meeting of January 13th, the residents of Central Fort George gathered at the Princess Theatre on Central Ave., Monday night, and by a vote of 54 to 1 adopted a resolution to petition the Provincial Government to incorporate a small portion of Prince George and a large portion of Central Fort George. In this way the minority again hope to control and force the greater number of citizens and property va'ues to include them in with the incorporation of the Prince (leorge townsite. The action of the Central Fort (leorge people again demonstrates the opposite motives that posesses the residents of the extreme ends of the greater City of the Georges, which we all hope to see some day. South Fort George people meet and discuss the merits of the case from the standpoint of the benefit of the whole and decide it is not good business in the interest of all that they should handicap Prince (leorge by their being tacked on to their incorporated area at this time. Neither is it good for South Fort (ieorge. So they voluntarily withdraw. Fort George, on the contrary, not only insists on being incorporated with Prince George but seeks to cut Prince George into an area approximately less than half its area and to take the lion share of it for themselves. And from what can be picked up in the arguments used, it would appear that not a single business reason for the action has been made that will stand the light of calm convincing argument. The Fort George townsite has been a forced proposition from its inception. It has been foisted upon the public and held there by sheer force of a payroll which in the end has reduced it to a negligent quantity. Its people, if left to themselvas, would come out of their difficulties just as the entire area will win out; but we venture to make the prediction that by going into incorporation at thia time they are putting a load about their business prosperity that they will not recover from in years. Whereas, it' they will do as South Fort George has done, wait a more propitious time for the inclusion of their area in the greater city, they will reap the benefits of such action in one half the time, Some of the residents of that end of the city have voiced their disagreement in private of the move to incorporate at this time. Why do they say one thing in private and another in public? Why do they not follow their own wisdom and its pointings? In Central Fort George there are good business men as is indicated by these reports. The records of the Prince George Chamber of Commerce show a wabbling, non-steadfast action of two of the committee mittee and takes one with him. Notwithstanding that .,„.*„,.

What can be said of such vacillating actions! How is it possible for the people at large to put confidence in such insincere trimming and juggling and ever allow these men to lead in this fair city to be. If such men ever were to gain a foothold in the councils of the local government after such exhibitions, the people would deserve what was coming to them. There can be no doubt, the people are hopelessly divided; the ruling on the station site matter given by the Railway Commission enraged 75 per cent, of the people to the point of unspeakable indignation, and confidence in that tribunal is shaken to its foundations. If the Provincial Government dares to override in the incorporation question the same majority and accept any area other than the centre of the town as wished for by the people and allows this heavy load from the west to wreck the future of this city, there will surely be a day of reckoning. We regret the necessity of such strong terms, but it were well to warn the Government who are not as closely in touch with the Interior situation as they ought to be that the limit of patience and of endurance of the pioneers of this great centre of British Columbia is badly strained. It were better to take heed of friends within than enemies without. The Government has had its cue given by the great majority of the people as to what they want. Business judgment backs it up. The financial condition of the world will be an assistance to them in deciding that the majority are right, Prince tleorge has been left free to incorporate by South Fort George who was the first to apply for that coveted honor, but was refused. The changed j conditions and present necessities I Newfoundland coe are too strong to be ignored.

One man'B success often spells failure for another. many people in the cities. They must give up the notion of making money from one another and get out and go to work. That will prove the salvation of this country, for the people to realize fish at a Western Canadian port of entry, to be held in bond and shipped via Canadian railways to a United States port of entry. 2.

"The war, I am sure, will work to the ultimate advantage of all of us if it rids us, as I believe it will, of that craze for all things artificial, reflected in hobble skirts, tango teas and other forms of silly dissipation which seize and possess a foolish people in times when money is easily made in the many forms of speculation. We have got to be more thrifty and practice more self-denial from now on, and we will be better men and women for it." One of these two committee m,n fathers a resolution last | cipalities -- for the Government to also drop Central Fort George and begin in the centre, at Prince George, to build a city that will not in after years return to plague them by its weight of insolvency, which has been tne result of all similar attempts. summer to incorporate Prince George alone.

It is proposed to develop the boneless cod industry on tha Pacific coast, for it is believed there is a field for this industry on the Pacific. While imi yet prepared fully de disclose the methods proposed to be adopted tn secure tho raw material, steps have heen tnken to secure a plentiful supply of the raw material delivered at the southern end nf Vancouver Island at rates which will compete favourably in the United States market, It is also proposed to charter a vessel in .March and sail to the hanks, bringing material hack in a green state for preparation and dispatch to the desirable markets. One feature which the marketed ins, and whieh is essential In :i good market, is tho quality of being sun ilried.

Backing has already been promised in Vanoouver, Information which lias been secured from the principal fish brokers in Chicago assures a market for the product in competition with the best Newfoundland cod, and the certain sale of the produce first packed, as soon as it is ready. 1. That we have within a rea sonable radius of Prince Rupert the greatest supply of deep water food fish, the most important of which are halibut and cod, 2. Prince Rupert, owing to its being the terminus of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway, is in a far better position than any other Pacific Coast city to successfully handle this immense business. 3. The development of the industry at Prince Rupert will no doubt be met by strong opposition from our American neighbors. 4. The development of Prince Rupert as a great fishing point, of fish not only caught in Canadian but Alaskan waters, will benefit both Canadian and American fishermen, 5. The harbor of Rupert and adjacent bays, in the proper season, are literally filled with herring, which is the natural bait for catching all sea fish, and Prince Rupert is in a position to supply Canadian and American fishermen with bait, at attractive prices, for the carrying out of the deep sea fisheries. 6. If the American fishermen are allowed to come to Prince Rupert to purchase bait and dispose of their fish, the natural result would be that they would also buy the necessary supplies for a fishing trip, 7. The greatest tangible asset Prince Rupert has is the fishing industry, and this asset is capable of extensive development which will add to our wealth and the upbuilding of the entire country, back nearly to the border of Holland. London.—Everywhere the disposition seems to be awaiting the coming of spring when with fresh armies thrown into the field, things promise to move more quickly. Great Britain is now sending thousands of men to France weekly. St. Die, Department of Vosages, France—A brilliant exploit by French Alpine troops, who charged on skis down the snow-covered mountain slopes at Bonhomme, a post on the Alsation frontier, forced the enemy to retire on Orbey, five miles down the valley of river Weiss toward Colmar. London.—The Russians are unfolding a new plan of compaign says Daily Telegraph's Warsaw Correspondent, and within a month fresh offensive will develop. It will not be trench fighting but operations particularly suited to composition of Russian army, cavalry bearing an important share. New plan contemplates operations extending over at least six months. London.-German Aircraft made threatened raid on England on Tuesday night of this week, and attempted to blow up with bombs King's Royal Residence in Sandring- ham in county of Norfolk. This intention was ill-timed for King George and Queen Mary with family, who had been staying at Sandi ingham, had only returned the previous morning to Buckingham Palace. Not definitely known whether raiders rode zepplins or aeroplanes, but it was reported that zepplins passed over the North Sea in westerly direction. Night was calm but very dark and cloudy. Whir of propellers and droning motors could be distinctly heard. Zepplin reported to have been brought down by warship at Hunstanton a few miles north of Sandringham. Bombs wen dropped Yarmouth, Kings Lynn, Sandringham, Cromer, Sheeringham ancl Briston. Everywhere except Briston, casualties property resulted. Results of the Fire Department Dance of Jan. 15th.

The loud of the lire department sometimes gets heavy and burdensome, when expenses mount up and the funds grow small. As an example of some of the expenses which few have the opportunity to realize, take the recent Robarts, Empress, and other fires in lhe cily. The Robarts lire alone is estimated to have cost the people about 8200, and the Empress lire over $100. Among other expenses these two lires en-t live extinguishers lost in the buildings value 875.00, repairs to broken equipment, lost equipment and materials used. Fuel must be provided to keep the engine houses warm night and day, so that the machines will not freeze and be always ready for use. The salary of a watehman must be provided to look after these lires to protect us while wo sleep, and to keep suspicious characters and careless people from throwing about the dangerous elements that cause fires, and it is astonishing how many thoughtless and careless people there are. Hence this $95.20 raised by the efforts of the ladies of South Fort (leorge, while burdening no one unduly, aids everybody beyond computation, and affords an evening of enjoyment to all.

The need of the latter, of whom there are thousands upon thousands, homeless and generally penniless, is urgent, and the people, from the King down, are doing all possible to alleviate their condition. The cold weather, which continues, adds to the terrible suffering. Temporary buildings of wood are being erected as fast as possible to house the homeless. The list of dead, from what is known so far, will total 20,000. Twice that number were injured. Eighteen towns and villages were destroyed, thirteen others are left with scarcely a building standing, ancl twelve more have suffered lesser damage, Avezanno, with a population of about 10,000, is completely ruined; every house is down and [only three stables remain intact. !

Thc movement, as was explained by A. P. Westervelt at Victoria in the course of a tour; make thc preliminary arrangements, is not confined to any one section or one Province. It will be carried on throughout the Dominion simultaneously, continuing from about the second week in February until the middle of March. The form decided on is what are termed "conferences." There are to be upwards of 350 of these, and the principals will be official representatives of the Dominion, the Province and the farmers. Discussing the ■ project, Mr. Westervelt said that what was proposed was something altogether apart from the work already in the hands of the Farmers' Institutes and other such organizations. What was contemplated was not so much of an educative as of an informative character. The idea was to give the tiller of the soil accurate knowledge of the lines of produce it was desirable to concentrate upon in view of the demands the war will make on the agricultural resources of the country. The position of the stock breeder also was to be included in the scope of the campaign.

The war caused severe financial strain on this new and less developed Province; and while the losses were comparatively heavier, it is expected that recovery will be more rapid and reach greater proportion than any of the other Provinces, once the business world renews its progress and the war is settled. In fact, improvement will commence long before the last gun is fired.

You'll admit that it isn't very pleasant, searching for the article one wants, in store windows this kind of weather, therefore the buyer of to-day wants to see the kind and price of goods for disposal in plain figures on paper.

Brown, superintendent of central western branches, has contributed some interesting information, "The necessary readjustment of business, following a reduction of building operations of all kinds in 1913 and the first half of 1914, from abnormal to normal figures, had been readily met by the commercial interests, In a newly settled community, however, the normal volume of construction work is proportionately much greater than in older communities, and consequently the complete cessation of such work all over Canada at the outbreak of the war has borne on the west with special severity. On the other hand, the west is the home of very few manufacturing industries which are hard hit by the war, and, had it not been for a partial crop failure, the advantage as to business conditions in the situation ere ated by the war would probably have rested with the west. Total Crop Estimates. "Our estimate of the total crop, prepared from complete re ports obtained after the results of threshing were known, is given below together with the figures of the previous year: Bushels 1913 1914 Wheat - - 182,000.000 140,261,000 Oati - - - 220,000,000 144,437,000 Barley - - 45,00,1,000 35,763,000 Flax - - - 14,000,000 5,738,000 "The relative values of the two seasons' crops to the farmers, deducting requirements for seed, are indicated by the following estimates: 1913 1914 - $106,732,300 $122,832,700 - 49,805,500 60,556,400 - 10,440,000 5,331,400 13,205,000 16,728,000 $180,182,800 $205,449,300 Tourist-You huve an unusually large acreage of corn under cultivation.

Wheat Oats - Flax - Barley Totals "Notwithstanding the partial crop failure in the past season, a pronounced feeling of optimism prevails among most of the farming community. An unusually early harvest, followed by a lengthy period of open weather, permitted farmers to do an enormously greater amount of fall ploughing than usual, and our reports indicate that the total acreage under crop in 1915 will The Grand Trunk Pacilic Railway although only opened for through traffic to the Pacific Coast during the last few months, has already- established an enviable reputation for the excellence of its transcontinental service and the grandeur of its mountain scenery. Each day brings the officials of the line a budget of letters from travellers telling of thoir high appreciation of this new trail through the Yellowhead Pass to Prince Rupert, Mr. Philip Orr, one of Western Canada's best known business men, wrote the other day, " It affords me great pleasure to tell you very candily, that I enjoyed my return trip from the Coast over the G. T. P. far more than I can express, and I do not have to make any allowance or deduction for the service. 1 had elegant weather, line service, and we made splendid time. I could not make any suggestions thai would improve the comfort of the travelling public at the present time." Mr..). A. Hodgson, Toronto, after a trip westward to Prince Rupert and thenee down the coast, through the "Norway of America," to Vancouver on the S.S. "Prince George" said he had been many times across the Alps, and had crossed America on other transcontinental railways, hut had never had liner service than he received on the Grand Trunk Pacilic. The view of Mount Robson the highest peak in the Canadian Rockies, from the train, was one of the finest pieces of scenery he knew of and was alone worth a trip from the East. ■•VII HIV IIIU JIM* J 1JI1U Position In Germany; Ammunition Shortages; Fighting Now For Terms. be at least 16 per cent, greater .___^_^^^^^^^^_ than in thc past season, which! into effect on Apr, 1 next after represents an increase from 20,- " ' ' ' "-1 l- '-■ 334,854 to 2:1,588,430 acres. The conditions as to moisture is in nearly every district reported as being either "never better" or "never so good" and our managers appear to be unanimous in the opinion that, profiting by the sharp lessons of the past two seasons, most farmers have done better work than heretofore in the preparation of their land for seeding. "If, therefore, we should be fortunate enough to harvest even an average crop next season, the total yield would reach figures, the mention of which at this juncture would have the appearance of exaggeration. During the past year or two, farmers have been pursuing a policy of close economy and retrenchment, and with the satisfactory grain prices which now appear to be assured, the money results of a normal crop would almost suffice to clean up their floating liabilities, and to create a purchasing power in the west greater than ever before, "In order, however, to establish our agriculture industry permanently on a profitable footing, some more effective means must be found than now exist of inducing the well intentioned and industrious element of the farming community to adopt approved operations with some stock raising in all districts suited to the latter industry." A remarkable article appears in the Daily Telegraph from the pen of an American lately in Berlin. The writer, after reviewing the position of the Germans in the western theatre of the war, goes on to indicate a possible termination of the struggle after June next, owing'to the exhaustion of Germany's supplies of ammunition, AMMUNITION EXHAUSTED NEXT JUNE In my opinion, Germany has very- large supplies of men to keep the war going for an indefinite period. I do not believe there will be any collapse in her credit or finances during the struggle. There is absolutely no shortage of food supplies ill the country. Where Germany will fail is in those articles essential to war which require material which she cannot produce herself. ] have seen great hopes placed on the failure of her supply of petrol. These hopes are ill-founded. On the other hand, everyone admits that there is a terrible scarcity of rubber. More seriouse still is the shortage of copper, which is essential for the manufacture of shells and .ammunition. From'my inquiries I am convinced that even on a scale vastly below the present they will be unable to carry on the war for this reason alone after next June. I am sure that the most vital considerations of this struggle are Germany's lack of copper and gunpowder, or the essentials necessary to make the various explosives now in use. ENEMY KNOW THEY ARE BEATEN In their inner hearts the German official classes realize quite well that there can only he one result to the present struggle in Europe. They know, in fact, that they are beaten. They realize that the odds against them are too great. They are fighting now to obtain the best terms possible. They are determined to tight to the hitter end rather than yield, and they are equally determined to hold to Belgium and to preserve their fleet, as they are the only two weapons left with which they can obtain favourable terms. They hope by prolonging the war to exhaust the patience and endurance of | the allies. They hope to offer such | a strenuous resistance on both frontiers that rather than continue the war, the allies will meet them half-way. I have spoken with many, who frankly admit they expect to lose ___^^_^^^^____^__ Alsace and part of Lorraine. On the ninety days provided by law. | their eastern frontier they expect to East Prussia, so that We live in deeds, not years; in thoughts not breaths ; In feelings, not in figures on a dial. We should count time by heart-throbs, He most lives Who thinks most, feels the noblest, acts the best. -Philip James Bailey. Cut Wages of Railway Men It was stated by E. J. Chamberlain, president of the Grand Trunk and Grand Trunk Pacific railroads, that a despatch received from Ottawa to the effect that a general scaling down of pay for The men on the operating, construction and maintenance of ways departments is being figured on both roads, was absolutely correct. This cut will effect something like 14,000 employees of the Grand Trunk and a number more on theG.T.P., and is being put into force owing to the decline of business as a result of war conditions. The main reduction is to go January 1st, | 1915. Victory follows the flag. We wish you health, and wish you wealth, And many a merry day, And a happy heart to play the part On the great highway.

There they will re-embark for the European battlefields. These nurses are the pick of the Japanese Red Cross, and all have been decorated for bravery and efficiency while under fire.

All they hope is, to preserve the unity of Germany and to save what remains of the empire. The official classes, society, in fact all those who know- keep up a smiling face. At heart they are in despair, because they know that, however long they continue their insistence, before a year is out the lack of certain essentials in the destruction of mankind will bring them up against a stone wall, in which there is no exit except by the acknowledgment of their defeat.

It resolves itself into how we are going to put an end to the degrading of the foreigner by our own people." This was, in part, the summing up of J. S. Wodsworth in an instructive address on the immigration problem, delivered before the Canadian Club at Edmonton. Mr. Wodsworth stated that the UNITED STATES CHAMBER OF COMMERCE REPORT OPTIMISTIC. Washington.—rn a report made public by the Chamber of Commerce nl'tlic United Slates, business conditions and prospects are said to be generally reassuring. The European war is acknowledged, however, to have' had a widespread and depressing effect on industrial and commercial conditions, Economy naturally p revails among all classes," says the report prepared by the Chamber's Statis- tica and Standards Corn in it te e, j,^—,^——-,^—^——,———, . though remarks bave been noted future of Canada undoubtedly th(lt th-s dow mit ex(m(1 to auto. lies with the immigrant and, if mobil present proportions continue to grow, with the non - English speaking foreigner. While it was impossible to accurately forecast the effect of the war's end upon immigration, it was certain that after the conflict is over there will be a tendancy toward increased immigration. Britain, France, Belgium and Germany would require their men to rebuild what was destroyed; but from Russia and Austria Canada will continue to draw large numbers, War loosens old ties and alters trade currents. "Are we ready when tho im-! migration comes? Unless the present machinery, for their assimilation is radically altered, | the Hood will prove dangerous.! The rough construction work which absorbs the men is on the decline, and arrangements must be made to get them onto the land and make steady, productive citizens of them. Ihe welfare of people depends upon the standard of living, and the standard of living is not to be raised by encouraging, through economic conditions, overcrowding in I the cities." The speaker quoted statistics Future delivery purchases arc smaller and collections uniformly poor, but lately a marked change has been noted in a lessening of difficulty in obtaining bank loans and in an easing of interest rates. Conditions in the South, while slowly improving, still present a serious problem." Crops in general, the reporf adds, have been good, but the cattle industry is confronted by a serious handicap in difficulty in obtaining loans on cattle and by the foot and mouth disease quarantine. The sheep and wool industry is excellent while mining conditions are generally poor. Many idle factories are reported as preparing tei resume operations, au<l employees nre being taken on wliere decreased forces have been working. Lack of building however has caused many lumber mills to close and others to run on short time. Mr. Sam Grierson is again out after a prolonged sickness and operation.

The men managed to save the piano, and organ and all the chairs. The pastor of the church is Rev. Mr. Batzold, and much sympathy is felt for him in the community. O.
