NUMEROUS EVENTS IN AMUSEMENT CIRCLES Since Christmas Day the city seems to have been plunged in one merry round of pleasure, and gayety reigns supreme. Christmas afternoon saw the opening of the hockey season, when teams from South Fort George and Prince George met on P. ince ice to battle for first honors. South came out on the interesting' end of a score of five to three, after a (ine brand of the great Canadian winter game had been furnished the large crowd of spectators, The opening game was unquestionably the fastest lirst game ever played in this vicinity, and speaks well for the brand of hockey which may be expected from the ice gladiators this winter. | The line-up was as follows Price Five Cents Barney Keegan Aldermanic Candidate in Ward 2 Prince:-Bulzuk, goal; Wim-|Some Campaigning bles, point; Ewert, cover; Ram- j say, rover; Morrison, left; Young' i ntre; Brehaut, right.

Announce Candidacy The liberality of the citizens provided Christmas cheer for the men of tbe 102nd Battalion stationed here. Mr. R. C. S. Randall secured by subscription 884.- 15 for the purpose of entertaining the soldiers, and his and Lieut. J. C, Halsev's efforts were highly appreciated by the men. We are getting very anxious to see the boys in their new uniforms, which should be here soon. Christmas Eve was children's night at tbe First Methodist Several more aspirants for aldermanic honors have come forward during the week, and from present indications there will no doubt be quite a roster when all the names are in. Alderman H. E. Parks will be a candidate for re-election inj Ward 1, and Alderman F. M.: Ruggies annouces himself as a candidate for Ward 2. Mr. T. Porter's Platform TO THE VOTERS OF PRINCE GEORGE. Having been requested by a largely signed requisition of my fellow citizens to offer myself as a candidate for the office of Mayor in the forthcoming election, I take this opi or- tunity of complying with their request and ask the support of the electors of the city on the following platform : 1. A more adequate water system for fire pro e tion than at present exsists, to be installed at the earliest possible date. 2. To obtain title deeds to property set asido for public parks, squares and recreation grounds. ... Daily wage of S3 for an eight hour day on all c'ty work, and union scale for skilled labor. 4. Street improvements and sidewalks where traffic and development demand such. 5. Harmonious working with the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway Company, protecting the city's interests, and the earnest and intelligent effort to centre large shops and pay rolls here. To obtain equalized wholesale freight rates to foster establishment of wholesale :entre here and permit export of the products of the country. 6. Economical and business-like management of the city's affairs, this including substantial reduction of present city hall expenses. 7. A clean and orderly city. 8. Employment of Prince Ceorge residents and ratepayers on all city work, married men to have preference. 9. Auditors' report of expenditures and general state ment of city's business transacted to be made public at stated periods, every three months if possible. 10. Equal distribution of city purchase to city business where prices and quality equal, if not purchased from lowest bidder on sealed tenders. 11.

Readjustment of scavenger system and making of same efficient and economical; cost to be paid out of city funds, this not to include garbage. 14.

Hamilton, chosen as Conservative candidate in the j Prince (leorge riding in the next ; Provincial election, is due in the | city for the purpose of having an interview with Premier Bowser and his colleagues on a number of matters affecting his section of the country. Among these is the question of the Nechaco bridge. Mr. Hamilton has with him the estimates for this work and will endeavor to facilitate an early commencement of construction. Mr. Hamilton will spend Christmas with his family at Vancouver.

WINNING A DISTINGUISHED SERVICE ORDER Notice of the following appointments is contained in a recent issue of the B. C. Gazette: H. S. Banwell, of Fernie, to be a court of revision and appeal for the Fort Steele Assessment district during the absence of .Mr. G. G. Moffatt on military duty; to be members of the Treasury Board: The Hon. William John Bowser, K.C, Premier; the Hon. Thomas Taylor, Provincial Secretary; and the Hon. William Roder'c'c Ross, K. C. Minister of Lands; the Hon. William John Bpwser, Attorney-General, as Commissioner of Fisheries, Lieut. Hughes swam from his submarine pushing a raft loaded with explosives during the night, in an attempt to blow up a Dardanelles railway viaduct, Students of the University of I British Columbia are unanimous- : ly in favor of organizing a University Battalion in the four Western Provinces. It is believed that about half of the students row taking the officers' training course at the University will be I willing to to volunteer for the unit. Word has been received from Ottawa that no clemency will be extended to A. L. Clinger, the man found guilty of murdering his partner Smith on the Cariboo Road last summer. He was sentenced at the Clinton Assizes to be hanged. After an absence from Victoria of 17 months, during which time i she rendered much valuable service to the British Admiralty, the ; C. P. R. liner Empress of Japan. Capt. W. Dixon Hopcraft, R. N. R., arrived in port last week. It did shipping men good to see I this famous old ship, the last of the three white sisters, back again. She attracted more attention than she has ever done since she arrived on her maiden trip, through the fact that she is the first vessel which has acted as an auxiliary cruiser, to touch at a British Columbia port. The officers and men were very joyful over the prospects of meeting their wives, families and relatives in Vancouver. They had not seen them since they sailed away on July 23, 1914 GIANT FLAG-POLE The Royal Mail Steam Packet Company's steamer Merionethshire arrived at London on Wednesday last from British Columbia ports. She carried a giant flag-pole donated by Brooks, Scanlon & O'Brien to be erected at Kew Gardens. The huge stick was shipped at Vancouver. The pole is 215 feet in length, 32 inches at the butt and 12 ins. diameter at the top. The Merionethshire passed out of this port on August 18th for the United Kingdom. Somewhat over a year ago. as President of the Canadian Patriotic Fund, I made an appeal to the people of the Dominion for funds to assist the families of the gallant men who were going to the front. Though anticipating a generous response, I was hardly prepared for the magnificent manner in which the call was me', Monies have poured into the treasury of the fund until the total contributions have reached and exceeded six million dollars. Large, however, as this sum appears, it has not greatly exceeded current demands and, if peace were declared in the immediate future, the entire surplus on hand would be required before all the men of the Expeditionary Force could again return home. To-day there are 25,000 families, comprising, it is estimated, 80,000 individuals dependent upon the Patriotic Fund. With further recruiting the demands upon the fund will, with each succeeding month, continue to grow, so that it is estimated that, should the war continue during 1916, a sum amounting to some $8,000,000 and probably more will be required. This would, however, only mean $i per head of the population for the people of Canada, and it is little indeed to ask of those who remain at home in comparison with the sacrifice in life and limb of those who are fighting in defence of the Nation. In spite of the various calls that have been made for funds to aid our soldiers and sailors and the magnificent response that has been made in each and every case, I still feel assured that the warm hearts of all Canadians will respond to this further appeal to enable the Patriotic Fund to continue its splendid work during 1916 and take care of the families of those who are fighting for their Sovereign, the Empire, and the Dominion, on the battlefields of Europe and on the High Seas.

SATURDAY, JANUARY 1st, 1915. 7- The Civic ^HIS week has witnessed considerable ac- Election. tivity on the part of the various candi dates for positions on the aldermanic bench for the forthcoming business year. With the commencement today of another year's business, the time has arrived for the electors of this municipality to weigh carefully the' qualifications of the men who are out for office and vote for those who will have the betterment of civic conditions at heart. At a time like this, when the baby city is getting away to a good start, nothing is so important as wise legislation. Forthcoming generations must not be forced to pay for the follies of present administration; taxation! must be carefully controlled; retrenching is the order ofe the day in world circles, and we must go slowly. Over- anxiety to produce big results and make a creditable show- j ing often lead to error. The electors must predetermine! the future of the city. It is a wise child who chooses his own grandparents. A paradoxical statement, no doubt, but one with a world of wisdom hidden thenn ! It is a fortunate city whose first legislators were men of wide vision. # # # # # Life of _4 COPY of "The life of Lord Strathcona, I Strathcona. and Mount Royal" has just come to j hand and we cannot refrain from commenting briefly on the merits of this excellent work. Donald Smith, the pioneer trader, stands pre-eminent among Can-| adian empire builders, and a study of the above book, | ably written by Beckles Wilson, will prove a literary treat | in this day of cheap literature, when pink-tea romances, i impossible drama and farcical tales of adventure fill our i libraries. In this book Mr. Wilson has erected to the memory of a great man a monument that will do him honor. More I^HE sending of notes by the government American of the great republic to the south seems Notes. to be an agreeable diversion from the tedium of everyday duties. Quite frequently the big dailies chronicle the opinions of the legislators at Washington to assure their readers of the awful solemnity of the situation. Nothing comes of it. Is the United States as a people, to be congratulated upon their determination to keep out of the war game, though profiting hugely from it, or are they simply blinding their usually clear vision with that ever present optical illusion, the great American Dollar ? JUST about the time the world has been led to believe the British troops are not doing any fighting—not even near the scene of action—along comes an announcement that a gallant stand made by British volunteers saved the Allied forces from annihilation. The latest is the announcement that Irish and Scotch contingents in Serbia held thej Teutonic-Bulgar forces in check until the French forces < accomplished their successful retreat. It cost the Irish I and scotch 1500 men. The British stand at Mons checked the onslaught of Von Kluck and gave the French just' enough time to arrange their defence along the Marne. # * * * « I^IIE British Columbia Manufacturer's Association is to! be commended for its efforts to create a mercantile marine for this province. It is proposed to form a joint stock company, shares in which will be taken by the mem- bers of the association and offered to the general public. | (lovernmental aid will be sought; and no doubt in view of Mr. Bowser's intention to bring in a shipping bill at next session of the legislature, will be forthcoming. wu, is to uu uuut irom uuawa, Canada, sixty miles soutii to the St. Lawrence River international boundary.

JJON. Martin Burrell, Minister of Agriculture, who represents British Columbia in the Federal Cabinet, j interviewed on the cabinet changes in his province, hadj words of praise regarding the selection of Hon. Lome A. I Campbell, as Minister./jof.Min.'s., "He is a most capable! man," said Mr. Burrellf'%if M'should do valuable work! for British Columbia.",/'" . Apparently those who have assumed the right to speak | for the Liberal party in; British Columbia are under the impression that the electors are willing to trust their affairs in the hands of men whose highest conception of public duty is to assail their opponents with all kinds of vilification, and who put forth every effort in their power j to make the province appear in a false light before the world. We say "Those who have assumed" because hundreds of old-time Liberals have sent messages to the Premier and his colleagues expressing their great pleasure at the personnel of the new cabinet and their complete satisfaction with the programme of action laid down in Mr. Bowser's address. British Columbia never was carried by a campaign of slander and will not, nor will any constituency in it be carried by such a campaign in 1916. The electors want more than vague allegations. They will support a party that stands for a progressive and definite policy. ^__?___T____.._.-l~ ~^. NEW YORK LAUNDRY. Goods called for and delivered. Lowest prices, work guaranteed.
