■ ■1*41 JIUI tA5i HANK.. .M___ HERE MONDAY FOREST FIRES MINLMIZED Prevents fire Co.opei.«W Protection Large Losses. Ottawa, Jan. S.-The forest ,,« on Dominion forest reserves- In rZtem Canada was smaller during ,hP list season than ever before. On «»veral of the reserve, in Manitoba fnd Saskatchewan fire occasioned no _.m4_8 whatever, and on .the Do- Sn reserves in the Railway Belt, ne tho only green timber Injured hv fire was four acres of young lodcepole Pine. Even on the Rocky Mountains reserve in Alberta, with the immense area of 13,373,856 acres most of which is remote from settlement, fire destroyed only 1150 acres of young timber, whose present value was small, and mature timber ,„ the value of $150. The total area burnt on this reserve was but two one-hundredths of one per cent, of the above acreage, and It is likely ulien the reports are complete from the other reserves, which are smaller and usually better protected, that the aggregate area burnt over by fire „ill be no greater than one one- hundredth of one per cent, of the total reserved area. The significance of this figure is apparent by comparison with the corresponding figure tor the National Forests in the United States, where the area burnt over bv lire In 1913, although admittedly the smallest in recent years, was about 0.03 per cent, of the total. That the fire loss on Dominion re- lerves in the West has been so remarkably small is due In large measure to the fact that the governmenl rangers unceasingly .sought and obtained the co-operation of all wieti whom they came in contact, whethe settler, Indian, hunter, tourist oi packer. The new fire posters ask tor thiB co-operation instead of demanding it as previously; a plea foi it is printed on railway timetables and on hunting licenses; it is secured trom homesteaders by providing them with flre-flghtlng tools and by- connecting rural telephone lines with ranger stations on forest reserves, and even the Indians, many ot whom were careless with flre, aire now Induced to assist In its prevention by being presented honorary metal badges by the Dominion government. Carelessness Is the chief cause ot forest flre and by its elimination tbe greatest difficulty in forest flre protection Is overcome. te catn'e was in Track-laying Will Be Continued Westward Taking Advantage of Favorable Weather Conditions—Temporary Bridge Over Fraser River Here Will Be Completed in a Week—Celebration Planned To Welcome Arrival of Railroad The railroad has arrived. Just at 3:30 o'clock on Monday afternoon the big Pioneer track- laying machine laid the last rails on the east bank of the Fraser river opposite South Fort George. The work train then ran back to the siding at Mile 231, while the track-layer was left by the river bank to await the completion of the temporary bridge over the Fraser by which it will carry steal along westward. There will be a delay of a week here while the bridge is being completed. The work of driving piles is being rushed with all speed, and it is stated that within five days the river will be crossed, and after that probably two days will be required to prepare the structure for the steel. The steel will not, ae announced previously, remain here this winter. As soon as the bridge is crossed a siding will be put in on Prince George, and the track-layers will proceed westward with all despatch. At least twenty-five or thirty miles of rails will be laid west of Prince George before the gang is laid off for the winter. It is expected that Mud river will be reached before the end of this month. The ideal weather conditions pre-' as yet vailing this winter have been a boon i plans to the Grand Trunk Pacific so far as track-laying is concerned. Deep snow is the greatest obstacle to steel-laying, and this season there has been up to date practically no snow at all. The freedom from hard frosit has also been a factor in favor of rapid railroad progress. The steel will be welcomed to this place with due ceremony. A committee consisting of W. F. Cooke of South Fort George, C. W. ecutive. The committee eto make ar- Moore of Fort George and B. W. Cole of Foley's has been appointed to arrange plans for a pageant to greet the track-laying machine when it crosses the bridge into Prince George. The date of the pageant can not be accurately set as yet, as it depends entirely on the time required to complete the temporary bridge. Although the committee has not had time to formulate its n detail, it is expected that the celebration will include a parade ; representing the history of this dis- [ trict. There will be a band of In- jdians, dog teams, canoe floats, surveyors, old-timers, the Hudson's Bay company will probably be well represented, while all the modern development will also be shown. It is proposed to have every business place in the distriot closed for the occasion and everybody in the country who is able to walk, ride or drive be present to eocort the tracklayers into town. COlfflMED FOE TRIAL GENERAL MEETING OF SOCIAL CLUB MEMBERS The foramtion of hockey and bowling teams, the completion ot arrangements for a necktie and apron dance to be held on Friday, January 23, and a minstrel show, were but a few of the activities that plans are being laid for by the Social Club. It was 10:30 on Saturday- night wlien President Stafford called the large number of members that fere present to order. The first Item on the program was an address by W. Wilson, a local barrister, who, speaking of the cosmopolitan nature of tho citizens in this country, said that we should all be moulded Into w>e grand type of Canadian citizenship. In a club such as the Social Club we should avoid any possible dissentions and cultivate a spirit of brotherhood and generosity. The minutes of the last meeting ,ero read and approved, after whioh Bhort talks were given by Thomas B|w, Mr. Clark of Ritchie & Clark, »nd Fred Wilson.

He is to be imprisoned at Kamloops until May, when he will be taken to Clinton for trial. Astonishment was plainly visible on the faces of many of the spectators who crowded the courtroom when the prisoner was led to the bar. With his boyish face, slightly pale due to his confinement in the cell, it seemed hardly comprehensible that the accused could have been guilty of a crime so brutal as the killing ot Porters. He is about 24 or 26 years old, and an Austrian by birth, although he speaks English quite fluently. He did not seem to realize the seriousness of his position, and on one or two occasions was seen to laugh at remarks of the witnesses. The prisoner was not represented by counsel. Chief of Police Dunwoody acted as crown prosecutor. The first witness was Dr. Lazier, who testified as to the nature of Porters' wounds, and the direct cause of death. H. M. Dell, timekeeper in Tony Jack's tie camp, where the accused worked, was called next. He stated the prisoner came to the camp December 16 and worked until December 22. He left on that day and did not return to camp until December 29. Dell and each succeeding witness was bound over to appear at the assizes on a personal bond of $600. Mike Brown, employed with Bates & Rogers at the G. T. P. bridge here, swore that he saw the prisoner talking to Porters in the bar at South Fort George on the evening of Dec. 24. He told Porters to keep away from that kind of * man. Witness saw Porters give the prisoner money. In reply to a question put by Magis trate Heme, witness said he saw a 16 bill and two ones in Porters' purse. Thomas Chmowsky and his wife, who followed, gave a resume of the interview which appeared in The Herald last week. When asked by the accused, "Did I tell you about man having money and I want to rob him?" witness replied "Yes." After the noon adjournment Chief Dunwoody took the stand and told of the finding of Porters' body, the arrest of the accused and the finding of his stained clothing. Constable Aldrlch, who followed, swore that he measured the footmarks found near the body of the deceased and that the measurements corresponded exactly with those of the shoes of the prisoner. T. Chaffln said he knew both Onooki and Porters. They had worked at Mile 160 while he was there. B. Mauser, who keeps a boarding house in South, was the next witness. He said Onooki was In his house Christmas eve about 9 o'clock. The coat exhibited in court was, he said, found beside the bed occupied by the accused. Harry Julius, the interpreter, also swore he saw the prisoner early Christmas eve. John Bochesky, from Mile 226, swore that Onooki slept with him in the boarding house Christmas eve, but he did not know what time Onooki went to bed. Witness got up early next morning and left the prisoner sleeping. This concluded the case for the crown. The prisoner was then asked whether he cared to make a statement. After due deliberation he said tiiat he did. "I was in town Christmas time. was drunk in South Fort George. me, Edward Flim. We all three got drunk and then wen* out. Flim and another fellow wanted to take me home. This was the night before Christmas. Film wanted to take me somewhere to put me to bed. He said 'Chief of police told me if you don't take me he will pinch you and put you in jail' Then he let me go, and I go down to Billy Seymour's place. There was no light ln the house. Then I go out on the road where I meet two fellows who ask me if I know anybody Romanish who keeps a rooming house. I tell them I know one ln Central Fort George. They then ask me if I know any place to go to drink their whisky.- I said I know one empty bouse near the B. X. office. I go down to Chmowsky's place to get a hammer, and when I come back they have gone up the hill. I turn back to etown again and had a few drinks with a fellow. He was a nurse from Mile 160. We went down to the poolroom and I opened the door and Edward Flim took me and chucked me out and tore the sleeve of my coat. The nurse wanted to take me home. Then he wanted to take me to bed. He took me out on the street, but I did not want to go with him. Then I went out on the street and was chewing the rag with a fellow and he hit me on the mouth. At this juncture Chief Dunwoody, wlho was taking the statement down, declared that he would not take any nore. "You will keep me here all day at the rate you are going. Sign this," and he handed the statement to the prisoner. After protesting to the magistrate, the prisoner affixed his I signature to ithe document. Magis- I Jtrate Heme then committed the was with a fellow from Mile 162. I got drunk in the hotel. I was fighting with a man whose name I did not know. There was another man with prisoner for trial. Yesterday, accompanied by Chief Dunwoody and a constable, Onooki left for Kamloops. REDISTRIBUTION BILL GREATER IMMIGRATION British Columbia to Acquire Six New Members by Change in Districts.

FIRE BRIGADE HAS A HURRY-UP CALL Viscount Cross is Dead. London, Jan. 9.—(Special.) — Viscount Cross, who was British home secretary under Disraeli, Is dead. Responded to Summons of Help to Other Town—Scott's Hotel is Damaged. The South Fort George flre brigade received a hurry-up call last Saturday afternoon when flre broke out In J. W. Scott's hotel in Fort George. As soon as the alarm came in over the telephone the local brigade rushed to the aid of the Central fire fighters, and incidentally every available auto and rig travelling Fort George-wards was crowded with volunteers and spectators. The building where the flre occurred is on the corner of one of the most closely built up blocks in the other town, the Fort George hotel, Kennedy, Blair & Company's store, the office of the telephone company, the Bank of Vancouver and other buildings being situated in the block. Given a good start the flames would have wiped out this entire list. However, prompt and efficient work on the part of the brigades and a large number of volunteers saved the d -.

She kept a roadhuus. at Port Douglas in 1860. departure of the old year, "unwept, unhonored and unsung" the people of British Columbia and of the Dominion are content to see it relegated to the limbo of that which is past. With the advent of a new year, opening up a wide vista of opportunity to those who have the courage and the ability to grapple with life's problems, the prospects look bright. A :-••.■ country in its initial stages of d, elo] mi nt has a recuperative power which those who live and have their boing in the old and settled portions of the,-world can hardly credit. All that is required is capital for legitimate enterprise and men of industry to direct its operations. Those who have gone through the year just over have learned perhaps unwillingly, but nevertheless have learned, that capital must be used with a more foresighted judgment than was the case previous to 1913. During that period the West was temporarily enjoying a phase of existence which every western country in a new land has gone through at some time or another in Its history. The period of depression which followed was the natural outcome. Every country which enjoyed an unparalleled era of prosperity also suffered from the consequent reaction. But no one need be discouraged by reason of what Canada has passed through during 1913. Business today is on a more stable footing than it was a year ago, for many reforms have been accomplished, and the people look forward to applying their experiences to the brighter conditions under which the and the years to come. Let there be confidence and steadiness for the future and we will yet ealize all our best dreams ahout the d sti id of South Fort George and the Province of British Columbia. luwiug um cieieiaej ui Liec iieei .« ,< of commencement, containing 100 acres, more or less.

Of course, any ill- considered rise like that of 1895, With its aftermath of deep depression, is to be avoided, and the possibilities of Europe endeavoring to further liquidate its burdens in American markets are to be considered in this connection, though our immense credit balance may help us In this respect. Money, however, should be plenty for legitimate trade and industry in .914, and the absence of burdensome stocks, owing to long-continued hand-to-mouth buying, should be helpful. It will not be forgotten that many crops wove short in 1913, and prices, particularly Of food, were high, which may have helped agriculture as a whole, though no country ever made much money out of its crop shortages. As to 1914 ".rop conditions, it nny be said that said conditions are favorable and winter wheat is in excellent shape. The matter of possible railway rate advances presses for early solution. All of the ad- ances asked for in past years would have been Insufficient to save some b idly managed enterprises from the effects of their own sins, but the justice, indeed the absolute necessity, of allowing tbe railways to recoup themselves for high cost of operation can hardly be denied. In thia matter the auguries at the outset of the year are thought favorable, and if they prove so should have an important effect in stimulating demand for a variety of articles which move through the marts of trade. Whether any great liquidation in commodity prices is possible in 1914 is doubtful, and without that the often predicted liquidation of labor seems to partake of the nature of a dream. High costs of ail operation in fact, seem to have come to stay, but it does not seem possible to the world's most useless expenditure, that for armaments. Time will, perhaps, be needed to heal the bruises; they were hardly deep-seated injuries that the business world received in 1913, but past experience would seem to indicate that, lacking any serious damage to the business fabric, of which there are no really tangible signs, a comparatively quick revival from the quiet visible in many lines should ensue, governed, of course, by the money and crop developments of 1914. 610 acres, more or less.

JS Tribune has culled the following Son of the address from the Van- _,nver Province: cir George Paish is a young-look- ing man of the clean-cut English e lie spoke in very simple, and Seed very colloquial, language as mnared to most of the Englishmen his standing that have visited Ltem Canadian clubs In recent rs nut his speeches in the three Lf cities of the east were marked bv a moderateness and an accuracy it inspired confidence in the minds ot his hearers. He was careful to be extremely tactful and yet. obviously, to be quite candid. He did not appear to overlook any point Which WW In Canada's favor, nor yet l0 underestimate any conditions wUch he thought to be adverse. Consequently, when in summing up he declared his belief that there waa M cause for anxiety as to Canada's future, and when his only admonition to bis hearers was that they should continue to exercise the same conservative business methods which have characterized Canadian business for the past eight or nine months, the audience showed immediate appreciation, not to say relief. Sir George Paish described the borrowings of Canada as being nothing short of miraculous. He pointed out that this was made possible by the faith the people of the United Kingdom had In this country and in the Canadian people. He referred to the heavy interest payments which Canada was bourn* to make and to the fact that these obligations had always been met promptly. He did not doubt that these relations between Canada an<> the old country would continue Indefinitely, but he made lt clear that the importation of money Into Canada from England was almost certain to drop. It had averaged, he said, nbout fifty million pounds sterling per annum for some time past. It would not keep up to that figure but would not he thought be likely to drop below twenty million pounds sterling per annum. Later, In private conversation ln Toronto he elaborated some of the points he had made ln his public addresses. "It is most Important," he Mid, "that the Canadian people. should be brought to realize this fact, that they have just passed through, or are still passing through, a period of construction. There have been railways to be built, and other great public works. Now, however, you n come to a point where you must devote more attention to production, tbat is, to make use of the new machinery which you have established in the period of construction. There 15 no use In going ahead adding to your facilities which you already have. Canada therefore must expect to enter upon a period of production rather than construction." 'But has Canada been very much Hind-hand in tho matter of pro- your correspondent enquired. N'o. On the contrary the jnanner to Which production has been in- cr««M, especially In the prairie Pwinces, iH truly remarkable and W'tc satisfactory, Other provinces we done well also. But the point of m> remark is that the ratio ot proactive activity to constructive ac- vlty must be altered for a period of y so that more energy Is expend- 2 Undor "ie heading Production an that exponded under the head- ln« Construction."

Harry York, one of our star hockey players, had the misfortune to have his eye badly cut by the puck while at practice on Friday last. The Fort (ieorge theatre was well filled by a crowd who gathered there on Friday evening last to enjoy the excellent program that was rendered. Splendid pictures of an educative na ture were shown, chief among which were scenes depicting odd occupations in New York city. The Mac- donaldfi in the side-splitting act, 'The Dummy," were particularly amusing and received generous applause. Mrs. MacDonald, who has but recently arrived, is a violinist of exceptional ability. For nearly half an hour, in concluding the evening's entertainment, J. H. Boehner kept his audience in roars of laughter relating funny stories about his friend Casey. It is rumored that Fred Wilson, the proprietor of the Club Cafe, ls soon to become an active member of the "Knights of the Benedicts." Tbe exact date is a guarded secret and has been withheld, also the lucky- lady's name who will accompany him over the "hot sands" is still a conjecture. M. H. Murphy left last week for Minneapolis where on the death of an uncle he recently fell heir to a fortune amounting to $100,000. He expects to return shortly and will invest his money in real estate in this district. Chief Anthyne and squaw of the Stony Creek tribe arrived here Friday. After spending a couple of days in town he returned to his tribe taking with him a carload of freight. George Hess, formerly of Fort George, has moved to South Fort George and opened up a first-class up-to-date shoe repairing shop on the waterfront. George is no doubt an up-to-date shoemaker, judging from his adv. appearing in this issue. Miss Mabel Brewster left yesterday on a two months' visit to Victoria. William Kennedy and wife arrived last week from Edmonton. They will make their future home here. Word haa been received from Al Johnson and family Informing their friends of their safe arrival in Victoria after a very pleasant trip, the ride from here to Ashcroft being particularly enjoyed.
