Public Meeting For Incorporation Big Success We have received a copy of the Post Office Inspector's reply to the objections raised to the mail delivery system here. Pressure of other matter precludes reference to the subject until I lie next issue. ner ittir '•ha The first of the weekly dances was held in the MeGaghrcn- Tl.mrne Hall on Fourth Street yesterday evening, under the management of Mr. .J. Senior. The dunce was a most successful affair. • Russell J'eden, of the Cook Peden Company Ltd., purchased lots 1 and 2 in Block 35 this week, on which he will build a large steamboat warehouse. The lots are next to the dock of the B. ('. Express Company, at tlie foot of Fourth St. Mr. Cooke is now in the east, in connection with the purchase of ii large mill for their Dome Creek townsite enterprise. The warehouses will lie used by the company for the use of their proposed steamboat, which, Mr, Peden states, will be on the river next summer. A party of G. T. P. engineers that has been working Ix-- tween this place and the end of western construction, folded their tents and left for the C. P. R. this week. One of the engineers lefb with a small party, bound for the Peace river country. This is a significant A large conuretrntion gathered in the Fourth Street hall yes- terday morning to attend the lirst service held by the Roman Catholic Church in South Fort 'ienrge. Rev. Father Cocola, 0. M, I., the well known and widely beloved missionary conducted the service and spoke at length upon the duties of Christianity during the festive season, The public meeting, held in. th' Fori. George Theatre last Saturday night, to discuss the question of Municipal Incorporation as it will affect South Fort George, was well attended and thoroughly representative. ! Mr. Charles E. McElroy, General Manager of the Fort George Trading and Lun ' Company Ltd., took the cl at 8,30 and introduced subject. He explained that the object of t,he meeting was to acertain the general opinion of tine people affected, and especially the property holders, on the important question. The aim of the meeting, Mr, McElroy said, would be to invite all argument and criticism upon the subject, and, if the majority should govern so, to take steps to appoint an investigating co- mittee which would sift the matter thoroughly, and lay their findings before the public as shortly as possible. Mr. Ceo. j E. McLaughlin was requested ] to inform the meeting of the impressions he had gained at. Prince Rupert upon the subject, stated that the matter had been thoroughly investigated tlkere previous to incorporation, I which immediately followed the auction sale of the townsite. The chairman requested that anyone having arguments to advance against proceeding in the matter should lay their objections before the meeting. Little opposition was forthcoming with bhe exception of objections raised by Mr. F. II of- fercamp and Mr. B. Baker, on the grounds of increased taxation. Mr. Iloli'ercnmp did not relish the idea of having to pay running expenses and civic servants out of taxation receipts, which, he assured the meeting, would not be sufficient to defray these liabilities. Mr. Hof- fercamp seems to be under an impression that the city has reached the zenith of its growth and development. Under present, conditions incorporation would not be a step calculated to advance thu interests of such a small community as this, but it it is a step anticipating the proper method of administration in the days of rapid development and expansion which will come upon us with the advent of cheap transportation and railroad construction. Mr. Baker was more strenuous in his opposition. He wanted to hale tli.' whole proposition, stillborn, to oblivion, lie stated that he had seen instances of cities that had incorporated to the detriment of all concerned, lie said we were premature, to quote verbatum, "if we eat our dinner when we weren't hungry it woulden't do us any good." Mr. Baker's simile created laughter. It was rather irrelevant, but funny. If we sit around and wait, • waiting always for "all things bo come" taking no healthy exercise of body or mind, in time we shall become dyspeptic; truly we shall have no appetite to eat then—at any time—and whilst waiting, always waiting, real live people will happen along and we shall find more of our public priveleges usurped, our very independence gone, and our progressive aims smashed, shattered and trodden in the dust— if we heed th? barber-shop- minor of opposition, such as that referred to. The Herahl had hoped to hear some strong arguments agatEst the proposal, based upon sane reason- j able criticism of the effects that : this contemplated action would | have upon our future. There was no such criticism forthcoming, however, as apparently the audinece did not contain anyone who could speak with authority upon the subject. I Such opposition will doubtless appear when a comprehensive ; digest of the matter is laid be- fore the public at a later date. The chairman called upon Mr. J. B. Daniell to lay before the ' meeting any knowledge of the subject he may have gained in bringing it before the public generally in these columns. Mr. Daniell stated that his advocation of incorporatioo was based upon the peculiar conditions affecting this town. The i town, he said, was three years old. The government had nob, up to the present time, expended any money for improvements within the boundaries of the townsite. He. did not wish to' criticise their expenditures in public works throughout the district, but in the town nothing had been done. Further the government held one quarter of the whole townsite which tl*ey were not selling, thereby breaking up the growth of the city, and contributing nothing towards the construction of the streets, or the building of sidewalks past their property, as they would if incorporation were instituted. The time was not far distant, he said, when incorporation would be absolutely necessary. Tbe future of South Fort George did not depend upon problematical development. It was practically assured. It would sit well upon this community, as a town alive to its importance in the Continued on page four. An Absurd Move. Grade Advantages of Grand Trunk Pacific Ry. Tha wonderful advantages that will be possessed by the completed line of the Grand Trunk Pacific railroad can not be better illustrated than by reference to the following statistical report upon the gradient economy as compared with other transcontinental roads: Referring to the question of incorporation a gentbman who writes from Winnipeg states: "I showed your article 'Time 'oi' Incorporation' to several of pur citizens who have invested hi South Fort George, anil they 11" agree that Incorporation at once would greatly enhanse values and would give the present town such a prominent position that it would then be recognized as the important centre." Stipendiary Magistrate Heme handed down judgement in the | C(ises of two men who were '"ought before him on whiskey charges this week, -lohn Ryan "its sentenced to two months in a dungeon. "Slim" Martin, who keeps a road house at a point known as Round Meadow, six miles beyond the McKenzie stopping place, was fined 8150 and $35 costs, or two months in jail, for doing nn unauthorized saloon business '<> a Siwash patronage.

It is executed in the form of surveyor's field ,10tos.

T. P. immediately issue a statement regarding the exact location of their station upon the Indian Reserve here, is, by a large measure, the most unmitigated piece of ad surdity as yet launched upon the public by the wildly struggling handful! of men who are trying, vaguely and ineffectually to create the impression that development here awaits the settlement of the station location, and that this location should be made at a point removed from the Fraser River and near the eastern boundary of the Natural Resources Security Company's mass of townsites. The Fort George Tribune may be appropriately termed the house organ of the Natural Resources Security Company. It dwells at length upon this matter in its columns. The Fort George Tribune has too many editors; that, is its principal affliction. Every new townsite manager that the Vancouver promoter sends up here to run his lot-maze, takes a fling at molding public opinion through its columns. They get things frightfully mixed. Let us remind the Nechaco sheet that its owners have already informed the credulous ones that have purchased lots upon the strength of similar statements, just where the big railway company would place their station. To quote his statement let us refer to a circular letter sent out from the office of the Natural Resources Security Co. dated January 3rd of last year. It read as follows: "To lot holders: "The Grand Trunk Pacific Railway have selected the site for their passenger station at Fort George, 4 blocks, less than 1320 feet, east of Fraser Avenue, Fort George townsite." This letter was aparently devised to inspire confidence and to drag in outstanding payments on lots. It ended with the following statement over George J. Hammond's name: "Wo guarantee everything stated above." When a copy of the letter came into our hands we told the public that the effect of the letter was entirely false. Then again later a statement eminating from the pres- | ident of the townsite coimpany was circulated to the effect that he had paid the G. T. P. the sum of 8200,000 for a location of tho station upon tike Indian reserve advantageous to his company's sites. Needless to say that statement was also entirely false, and to hark back still ..further the public will remember how "Toronto Saturday Night" drew attention to the methods of the Natural Resources Security Company, who wore then moving the proposed station around on their maps of the Indian Reserve to suit the requirements of the particular property they were advertising for sale along its border. And now, lo and behold, the personal organ of the promoter wants to know wnere tlye G. T. P. station is going to be ! The Tribune states that tho exact location of the station on the Indian Reserve is a question that "lies between this country und its future." Such a statement is laughable. Just why the fate of tho country should hang upon so slender a thread we fail to see. The Tribune's owner, aforementioned, does two things excellently—lying, Conuinued on noire four, rum ucunuL ncnmu PUBLISHED BY THE NORTHERN INTERIOR PRINTING GO. Ltd. J. B DANIELL PRESIDEN1 Devoted to the interests of Fort George and the entire Northern Interior. J. 1). DANIELL, Editor. Saturday, .January 20th,, 1912 TWt 1! E publicity which The * Herald has given to the methods of unscrupulous town- site promoters in this vicinity has had the desired effect of forcing a nioderstion of advertised statements to a certain degree, The Herald is not particulary devoted to expounding a policy of denunciation against any person, place or thing, un- lesss such policy he reasonably necessary to serve thereby the best interests of the public at large. To confide in you, dear reader, it does not pay. Newspapers, generally speaking, will not denounce get-rich-quick propositions, for from such questionable enterprises they receive a most profitable revenue, as the basis of exploitation used by flim-flam promoters is almost invariably extravagant advertising. We have exposed certain townsire fakirs operating up here from a sense of consideration to th.it investing public, to whom every newspaper owes a responsible duty, from a close inside knowledge of every phase of the situation. Although we feel gratified to note the effect of our light upon townsite advertising, yet the ultimate aim and object of our campaign can not yet be said to have been achieved. Diagnosis of the situation shows an extroadinary stale of affairs, which commenced with the floatation and booming of a wild-cat townsite by an unscrupulous promoter, whose career previous to that venture had been marked by precarious occupation as a bucket-shop operator around Chicago, and whose operations along that dubuious lines of human endeavour had been marked by the fleecing of the public. Well, the wild-cat townsite grew. The game entirely suited the bucket- shop shark and to it he applied his vast experience of advertising methods, lobby-work, bribery and corruption—and the townsite continued to grow and grow. It was a great area of land chopped up into little 25-foot frontage lots, and by and by it was forced ahead until it crossed the surveyed line of the <!. T. P. railroad and halted, Hushed with the spoils of ill-gotten gain, upon the brink of a river. John Houston the veteran newspaperman, saw the danger, antl started out to slay the monster when it first appeared, but l.o died to,, soon. The promoter then threw back a handful of the wealth he had obtained from the public under false pretences, to apply on im- i proving the rim of his town- ! site, tor the sak(. 0f appearances, and seeking also to drag developmanl lo Ins site so th he might continue along his favoriti or elsewhere. We fought; other viously out for the opted his cause, and his town- eites continued to sell under gross misrepresentation. The Herald exposed, the newspaper blacklegs boosted and the sauve promoter smiled and raked in the com. The promoter has a newspaper of his own, publish- in the clearing at the outer rim ol his lot-maze. It now seeks special priveleges from the rail- wny company for the conglomeration of townsites, which concessions the investing public whom are distinct and seperate from the long-distance buyers on the bucket-shop ,,/an's sucker list ', want elsewhere, lhe promoter's organ bases its plea upon the "millions of dol- nrs worth of property that Have been bought and sold." Stop and think. If a man "Rogue's gallery" of a town in the state of Illinois, can come into British Columbia and townsite lands by the thousand acres anywhere where they will sell at long distance, secure in th' knowledge that the vast interests influenced to purchased by misrepresenting advertising, will eventually light for recognition upon the basis of the invested sum represented, whilst he, unscathed, seeks fields and pastures new, where, (I where will such exploitation end? r less tn the lake, theuce following ie easterly to puint uf commence containing 120 acres mure or less.

He has done all sorts of other things that shadow him through life, and because lie will not break away from very questionable promotion methods his past will (ind him out. The moving linger writes, and the writing remains always, long after the linger has crumbled to dust. Now for the benefit of tl.o peop,e who do not know that The Tribune is exploiting the fact that it is assisting to stir up a mare's-nest, let us inform the public at large that the G. T. P. have acquired the Indian Reserve here for townsite purposes. A part of map No. 807, deposited in the Kamloops Registry Oflice, shows the G. T. P. railway grounds in Indian Reserve No. 1 here, which, according to the plans specified, cross the northern end of the reservi. from the Fraser river to the N. \\. corner. The actual station might be anywhere between the extremes of the grounds shown as reserved for station purposes on the plans, or these plans might be set aside if a revision survey altered the route ever so slightly, but in any event let it be borne in mind that the Railway Commission of Canada has to be satisfied that the best interests of tihe public are being served before any railway concern can settle the location of a station site, therefore if the way-back townsites succeeded in influencing the G. T. P. in the location of their railway station, by disguising their motive under a vol r of public- spiritedncss, on application of the public the matter would be thoroughly investigated, Let us quote the "Dominion Railway Act" in respect to ihe matter: ing such petitions as the one circulated in this absurd move- j ment. The railroad lownsite is not, as yet, even surveyed,; therefore it is premature to ask j for the exact location of the depot vvb'ch, if made, might nol properly conform lo the scheme of their lownsite survey when that is made later on. Let us rest assured that when (he time comes the railroad company will make their an- nouncement through the proper channels, and in the meantime fool petitions of townsite interests will cause them nothing but amusement and annoyance.
