PRINCE GEORGE, BRITISH COLlTMBIA,  FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 1915.
Price Five Cents
Fourth  Annual  Exhibition  Held  in Fort George
District and First in City of Prince George
Great Credit to New District.
There is no better way to judge
of the merits of a section of
country than by viewing the products. When a new district,
during times of such financial depression as now exists, is able to
hold an agricultural exhibition
and make it a financial success,
there can be no question as to its
future.
The fourth annual exhibition
of the Fort (ieorge Agricultural
& Industrial Association, held
this year in Prince George for the
first time, was an unqualified
success. No attempt was made
to produce anything spectucular
in the way of amusement cr
show. The desire of the directors was to bring before the people and the visitors to the fair
concrete evidence of the possibilities of Central British Colum-
as a section of country capable of
providing homes and a comfortable living for a large number of
people. They succeeded beyond
their expectations. Great credit
is due the men in charge of the
exhibition and the ladies for their
valuable assistance,

With the score tied at the beginning of the fourth inning in
last Wednesday's game between
Prince George and the Cache,
the large crowd which had gathered to watch the sport settled
down with a smile to enjoy what
p omised to be an exciting game.
Before the inning was played
however, they were treated to
an exhibition of genuine small
town stuff so distasteful to lovers
! of clean sport. Umpire Adams
was handling the game to the entire satisfaction of everyone, until a decision on a play at first
base, which was perfectly correct, caused an outburst which
all but ended in a free-for-all.
In organized baseball when a
player abuses an umpire he is
ejected promptly from the playing field and pays dearly for his
indiscretion. In amateur circles
an umpire, who has a most thankless job at its best, is at the mercy of the player who chooses to
malign him. To cut a long story
short, despite the temptation to
say considerable along this line,
the game was forfeited to the
Cache team, by the score of 9 - 0,
The afternoon was perfect for
playing ball and hundreds of
people were enjoying themselves.
The fans of Prince George are
exceptionally loyal, and deserve
better treatment than to be deprived of a pleasure which is
their due just because a disgruntled player chooses vituperation as the means of displaying
an unwarranted animosity.
LONDON, Sept. 17.-The Russians are gradually assuming the offensive against the Austrian armies in Gali-
c'a, and have practically checked the (lerman advance in
Poland. From a gain of nearly five miles a day by the
Germans this had been cut to less than a mile at the first
of the week, and in nearly all quarters, according to the
latest despatches, the Russian armies are holding their
own. With the pouring in of hundreds of thousands of
new men to swell their already immense armies, the Russians should soon be in a position to turn their masterly
retreat into a grand offensive along the eastern line.
GERMAN AERIAL  WARFARE FAILS.
( LONDON.-Despite carefully laid plans, the German
aerial offensive movements have been decided failures. A
report from Field Marshal Sir John French states that
during the past few days 11 aeroplanes have been destroyed.
From Holland comes the report that of the five Zeppelins which raided the English coast but three returnee1.
Wonderful Crops
of Peace River.
Lack of Railway Facilities
Will Force Farmers to
Haul Produce a Hundred Miles.
THE  PROMISE OF THE FUTURE.
"The crops, especially in the
Pouce Coupee district and the
Dawson Valley, are the largest
in the history of the country.
What the farmers will do with
their grain after threshing is a
problem that is not easy to
solve."
Mr. Malcolm McNevin, who
has recently returned from the
Peace River country, this week
gave the Herald an idea of how
development is proceeding in the
north country.
' 'Hundreds of settlers are farming over a hundred miles ahead
of the railway," said Mr, McNevin, "and many of these will
be compelled to haul their grain
to the railhead of the E. D. & B.
C, which is now being built
northward and which will eventually be joined up with the Pacific Great Eastern from Prince
George."
Mr. McNevin states that one
must visit the Peace River country and see the wonderful agricultural resources of that region,
before he could form an adequate
conception of its great future.
"It is a cheering prospect for the
city of Prince George, which
must eventually become the chief
distributing point for the whole
north country," he sail1.
Arctic Explorer is Safe.
The above photograph of a farm scene in the Nechaco Valley will do much towards convincing the
reader of the wonderful promise held out to the agriculturist: ,n Central British Columbia, of which
district Prince George is the centre. The wild grasses found everywhere m the Afferent valleys aw
very nutritious and cattle fatten in a short time on the natural feed. This is pre-eminently a mixed
farming country and is particularly adapted to the raising of hay, grains, roots and vegetables.
Word has been received that
the famous Canadian Arctic explorer Stefansson is safe and
well. No word had been received from Stefansson for nearly
a year and a half and for over a
year grave fears have been felt
for his safety. In fact he was
believed to have perished in the
Arctic wastes. Stefansson will
continue his work in the Arctic
for the Canadian government.
Railroad Officials
Enjoying Vacation
Among the passengers on this
morning's eastbound daily limited were Messrs. F. Norman,
Supt. Canadian Express Co., A.
E. Rosevear, General Freight
Agent, G.T. P., J. H. Cummings
Travelling Pass. Agent of the
Chicago Great Western, and J.
C. Leacy, Trav. Pass. Agent of
the Great Northern. Great interest is being shown by railroad
officials from all over the continent in the Canadian Northwest,
and the invariable prediction is
that this section of Canada will
experience an unpreceden'ed
growth when world conditions
once more become normal.
City Street Grading
Making Progress
About forty men and a dozen
teams are now at Jwork grading
the city streets. A great deal of
necessary filling and grading is
being done on Third avenue, east
of George street, and it is also
the intention of the council to
widen Third avenue west as soon
as possible,
Whenever possible the city
work is being done by married
men, although it is not absolutely necessary that a man enter the
ranks of the benedicts in order
to get work. This would be putting a premium on marriage and
would soon deplete the city's
supply of marriageable young
ladies.
Excellent Programme
For Benefit Concert.
| Defines New Boundaries
of Local School Districts.
A benefit concert under the
auspices of the Ladies' Auxiliary
will be given in the Dreamland
Theatre, Wednesday evening, the
22nd inst. A splendid programme
of choruses, dances, solos and
recitations has been prepared.
Several very interesting reels of
pictures will be shown. Kerr's
orchestra will be in attendance,
which is sufficient guarantee for
the excellence of the musical end
of the programme.
The children have been trained
by Mrs. P. E. Wilson and Mrs.
C. McElroy, and the efforts of
the children should be very ei -
tertaining.
The doors will be open at 7-30,
and from that time until the concert commences, at 8 o'clock,
the new photo-play piano—seven
instruments in one—will be operated for the entertainment of the
early comers,
The September 9th issue of the
B. C. Gazette contains notice of
redefinition of the boundaries ot
the Fort George and South Fort
George school districts. In the
case of Fort George the status
has been raised from an assisted
to that of a regularly organized
school district.
Forged Government Receipts.
Deputy Game Warden Hewit-
sor, of the Clinton district, has
been sentenced to 18 months' imprisonment by Judge Calder for
forging stub receipts in his expense account book. By these
means Hewitson made it appear
he had incurred expenses on trips
which he had never taken. The
prosecution was made at the request of the game department.
Lieut. W. F. Cooke Will
Return to Stimulate Recruiting
The following telegram has
just been received by Government Agent T. W. Heme from
Lieut. W. F. Cooke: "Will be in
Prince about 23rd and am endeavoring to raise full company
of northern interior and north
coast men, 250 required. Intentions are to leave Prince
George night of the 28th and pick
up men west same as last trip."
Lieut. Cooke will probably arrive from the south on the B. X.
from Quesnel, next Thursday.
He will pick up all available men
on his way to this city. It is very
doubtful if any part of the empire has contributed as large a
part of its male population to the
cause as has the Prince George
district. And it is safe to say
that no finer soldiers will be
found at the front than those
who have volunteered for service
under Lieut. Cooke's banner.
Mr. Heme has also received a
wire from Major McDonald, as
follows: "Have started recruiting 1st Canadian Pioneers, Do
you think enough good men in
sight to warrant my going there?
Would like to get 30 or 40 it
least. Could probably go next
week. Wire situation and will
advise."
In answer to Major McDonald's
inquiry Mr. Heme wired that
Lieut, Cooke took 53 recruits
from thia district for the 67th
Battalion Western Scots, and expected to return here shortly in
an endeavor to raise a full company. He also advised that
Major McDonald communicate
with Lieut. Cooke at Willow
Camp, Victoria.
Just ho v many more men will
join the colors here next week is
not known. INTERIOR PRINTING COMPANY. LTD.

Guggenheim Interests, World's Most Successful Mining
Operators, Making Investments in Barkerville Country.
(Contributed,)
Whether in prosperity or depression there seems at all times
a great surplus of floating capital
awaiting investment which appears to follow a law of evolution,
and if not available for one kind
of investment is open for another.
A few years ago when timber
was attracting the attention of
capital a boom sprang up, and
the timber resources of the province were snapped up almost in a
day. Nothing else seemed to
attract attention,
great and small plunged the
limit. It would appear that to
fail in getting in on the ground
floor in the timber business would
be to lose the chance ofa lifetime.
But when they began to realize
the great timber resources yet
untouched and the number of
years necessary to await before
they could market their product,
their enthusiasm began to wane
and almost as suddenly as it
arose the boom vanished.
Immediately the flow of capital
sought other fields when land
and real estate values began to
rise and almost in an instant
values rose to abnormal. Poverty-stricken farmers adjoining city
suburbs began to subdivide their
farms and to sell their suburban
lots at enormous prices and were
kicked into being millionaires so
sudden that they were unable to
keep pace in conforming theii
manner to their newly-acquired
wealth. Prospective cities sprang
up at every railway station and
advertised as great strategic and|
commercial centres,   while  un-l 	
scrupulous advertising was sent j Lack of Transportation Facto all parts of the world. Like! jiities Forces Residents of
all conditions that became abnormal, a speedy termination was
inevitable.
With the disappearance of these
conditions something else must
arrive to absorb the increasing
capital for investment, and from
present indications everything
seems to point that a great mine
development era is now in order.
Perhaps never in the history of
the world has the shortage of
metals been so severely felt.
While we look for great development in copper and other useful
metals, yet gold mining seems to
be the most attractive at present.
This is due to many reasons: the
great shortage of gold which is
now the only sound currency; the
opening up of British Columbia
and Alaska by railways; the scientific lowering of operating expenses of both placer and lode
mining, and new discoveries as a
result of the great increase of
settlers and prospectors, has begun to attract the attention of
capital in no small degree.
The Guggenheims, the largest
and the world's most successful
mine operators, who are ever
alert in getting into fertile fields,
are now operating in earnest in
the Barkerville section, where
they are demonstrating with instructive discrimination the most
valuable properties.
They have at present a number
of drills working on Antler Creek,
Williams Creek, Willow River
and Slough Creek, where they
and investors !have a,reac|y acquired options.
Although they are not giving out
particulars, sufficient information
has leaked out that the prospects
obtained justify the installation
of dredges on the different creeks
and they are still acquiring options on other properties.
The fact that the Guggenheims
are taking hold so strongly on the
Barkerville creeks has brought a
number of other dredging companies into the field. Mr. John
T. Towers, representing a Boston
company, is operating a dredge
on Slough Creek, and Mr. Marsh,
representing a New York syndicate is drilling on Lightning
Creek. The success of these
new enterprises means much to
the future prosperity of northern
British Columbia, as there are
scores of creeks carrying placer
gold on the surface that, with
modern methods of mining, will
be worked with success.
Opening Schools
In Peace River.
Pouce Coupee District to
Trade With Alberta.
Victoria, Sept. 11,—Illustrating
the large area embraced within
the boundaries of British Columbia and the spread of settlement,
despite the war conditions, Sir
Richard McBride stated yesterday that the Department of Education has just instituted three
new public schools in the Peace
River district, in a section of the
country some 800 miles from the
Coast.
ln explaining the details of
the matter, Dr. Alexander Rob-
instn, superintendent of education, stated that consequent upon
reports reaching the Department
of Education that there had been
a considerable influx of settlers
into the Peace River area during
the past season, Inspector Gower
located at Prince Rupert, was
sent in during June last'. He
made a very exhaustive survey
favorably oh the establishment
of schools.
Inspector Gower, as well as the
members of the teaching staff,
had to make a trip into the Peace
River country by way of Edmonton, owing to the absence of
transportation facilities through
British Columbia. Mr. Gower
reports that he found the settlers
in the Pouce Coupee district very
anxious to trade with the merchants of the rest of British Columbia, but they were of necessity, owing to present conditions,
compelled to trade with Edmonton and other centres in the
neighboring Province of Alberta.
Mr. Gower found the people of
the great northern interior clamorous for the completion of the
Pacific Great Eastern Railway,
which is to tap that country by
way of Prince George. They
were encouraged, in the first
place, to go into the country and
take up land on the assumption
that it would not be long before
transportation facilities through
railway connection would be afforded them, and they are naturally much disappointed. Aside
from the convenience which
would be afforded the settlers already in there, the development
of the district is being materially
retarded, and much trade lost to
the merchants of this Province
through the lack of a railway.
The settlers are disposed to bring
strong pressure to bear to have
an early resumption of work instituted on the extensions of the
Pacific Great Eastern Railway
into their district.

Victoria, Sept. 11.-Aproposof
the arguments presented by the
Victoria Board of Trade in favor
of a change being made with re-
gard to the holding of tax sales,
Sir Richard McBride stated yesterday that the Government had
a few days ago communicated to
the authorities of the municipality of South Vancouver the decision that the period of redemp.
tion in the case of tax sales would
be extended from one to two
years.
Sir Richard added that this
ruling would apply to all other
municipalities throughout the
Province. A similar decision had
been arrived at in other parts of
the Dominion in respect to tax
sales, and it was felt that as a
result of adverse conditions caused by the war, it would exercise
a salutary influence in British
Columbia, and not in any way
interfere with the economy of
the municipalities.
Sir Richard was asked if this
decision of the Government would
meet the resolution passed by the
Board of Trade in regard to land
owned by private citizens, and
he replied in the affirmative.
This resolution read as follows:
"That the Government be requested to give notice that at the
next session of the Legislature it
will bring down a bill to extend
the term of redemption on all
property sold for taxes since
January 1, 1915, so as to make
the time for redemption not less
than two years from the date of
sale."
Sir Richard added that for
some time the Government had
had under consideration legislation looking towards providing a
full measure of protection to the
soldiers at the front whose property interests in British Columbia
are involved.

Since the Middle Ages, Europe
has been struggling for a balance
of power. Spain, Austria, France
under Louis XIV, and France
again under Napoleon, achieved
a preponderant weight, with
pretty constant fighting to maintain it. The Napoleonic preponderance was the greatest and the
shortest-lived. It is improbable
that Europe will ever rest in the
shadow of a preponderant state,
Too many states are too powerful for that.
A peace on the basis of the
status quo would give Germany,
with her Hapsburg appendage, a
weight equal to that of the remainder of the Continent. No
such peace could be lasting.
There may be another Napoleonic era, with peaces that are little
more than truces, enduring only
a few years; but it is most probable there will be no lasting
peace until Germany's military
.power is so reduced that much
