Today it is near $250,000,000. British Columbia had 178,657 people in 1901, today it has over 400,000. Last year British Columbia produced over $300 for every man, woman and child in the Province. Yet, up to now, British Columbia has had only one railway—the Canadian Pacific—which barely skirts the United States boundary. Vancouver is only 156 miles above Seattle, while t h e Northern boundary of the Province is over 600 miles further North. The Grand Trunk Pacific is the first railway through the immensely rich Central British Columbia. Its Pacific Coast teminus, Prince Rupert, is 550 miles nortii of Vancouver. Trains arc now running from Prince Rupert east to the first freight and passenger division point, Smithers. The entire line, from Atlantic to the Pacific, will be completed in 1914. Smithers—named by the Grand Trunk Pacific after its highest official, Mr. Al fred Waldron Smithers Chairman of its Board of Directors, is tlie railway's only division headquarters between Prince Rupert and Prince George, a distance of some 460 miles through one of the richest belts ol West- em Canada. Smithers is the dominating centre of the [amous Bulkley Valley, the lirst large agricultural area 1,ithe Grand Trunk Pacific east of Prince Rupert. The Bulkley Valley has 300,000 acres of rich argicul- tural land, proven large deposits of coal, silver and lead and almost inexhaustible water supply. Smithers was selected by the railway company inr its freight and passenger divisor* headquarters and tiiu town is owned by the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway, lt is one of the only two such division points on the Grand Trunk Pacific in British Columbia, the other being Prince George. A new railway through a new, virgin, rich, country has created an opportunity for you to share in the prosperity that will he 1 when its new line is and the gigantic res of the country develc reated ipened ources THE OPPORTUNITY IS SMITHERS Smithers combines the two supreme advantages that have created large cities in the West—tributary natural resources and support and backing of a transcontinental railway. Smithers has the stupendous wealth of the rich Bulkley Valley behind it — agriculture, mines, water water power. It also has the backing and support of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway, not only because it is the railway's official town, but also because it is one of its only two freight and passenger division point in British Columbia. The railway company will spend upwards of $250,000 at Smithers for shops, round house and other terminal improvements and freight and passenger division point facilities in Smithers, besides employing over 200 men at this point. Approximately $50,000 has already been spent in improvements at Smithers, clearing the site, grading streets, building sidewalks, etc. Smithers is a hustling, busy community today. In June it had less than ten people, today it has uver 450. It has a bank, a .sawmill, two newspapers, a large number of stores and homes, Over seventy-five new, permanent buildings arc under construction. Every train brings new people and new settlers. Smithers will have an electric light plant and a modern water system. It will have railway shops and a railway payroll, lt will be the distributing point for the entire Bulkley Valley. Being the nearest large agricultural area to Prince Rupert, Bulkley Valley is bound to become that city's chief source of supply ior its foodstuffs. Its products will come through its natural, logical centre—Smithers. Central British Columbia is just entering a period of wonderful activity through the opening of thc Grand Trunk Pacilic. Now is the time to heed the opportunity at Smithers through the safest, cleanest and most satisfactory medium of investment—real estate in an established community. Anticipate the rush of settlers who follow in the wake ol a new railway with a good location in Smithers now. the secret of the great fortunes of the West is the buying ol real estate in growing towns before their greatest growtli. The best opportunity at Smithers is now—before thc new transcontinental is completed.

The loss here comes on There are many theories as to the way the fire started, but the most plausible one, from the accounts of those who reached it first, is that the cresote which had collected in the long length of horizontal pipe running from the stove in the smith- west corner to the chimney, caught fire from the great heat in the stove and caused the stovepipes to melt and telescope, falling to the floor. Tho first man to get inside the building said the stovepipes were all down und the flames were bursting out of the stove. In the afternoon C. W. Moore had put on a fire about 3:30 o'clock in order to have the theatre warm for night, when tho Preethought society were to hold a meeting.. Later in the afternoon William Bell, who is also interested iu the Freethought "society, looked at the fire, finding it all right.

In his efforts to ring it loud enough, however, he broke the wire. This little incident warned the people that in case of future fires the bell would not be efficient, so Albert Dollenmayer with characteristic generosity, has offered to loan the whistle from the steamer Robert C. Hammond, which will be put above the hotel and connected with the engine room to be used as a fire alarm. A pump will also be Installed in the engine room of the hotel to pump water directly through the hose as tbe pressuie from the tank was found Insufficient to give very great force to the streams of water. There were only about 300 teet of hose on hand because the 1000 extra feet ordered some time ago by the fire committee ts still on the road. Fred Manahan, who was on duty at the telephone switchboard when the fire started, notified every house that had telephone connection, working long after closing hours. When the fire at one time threatened to turn south along Central avenue he tried to get South Fort George to summon their fire brigade to assist, but the office was closed. In case of future disasters a plan has been suggested of leaving the manager's house connected with both exchanges after closing hours. Other^ime- ly suggestions are that the fire brigade be supplied wlt_ double-headed axes, light ladders and lanterns.

An Interview with Fire Chief Campbell appears on another page of this issue in which he suggests certain improvements that might be made to further insure property in this town from loss by lire. The idea is a good one and will commend itself in i ery citizen having the Interests of the community at heart. Six months ago the apparatus which wo now haw or hand was purchased, and at that Lime it was suf- ! ior the demand. So rapidly lias the town grown since then, however, and as many new buildings have been erected with greatly increased property valuation, that more fire-fighting appliances becomes an Iraperai ve need. The ad- dtt'ou of two badger engines and the installation of fire alarm boxes as suggested by the chief would not entail the expenditure of a very large sum of money while it. would greatly reduce the danger of a serious cinll igration. We trust the citizens wil respond to the chief's appeal for funds in the same generous manner that has characterized their response io ap- pi .ils in this matter heretofore. light package delieries of the express companies. The details of the system are still in the hands of the postmaster-general's oflice at Ottawa, and the local postmasters have not yet been instructed to commence upon the arrangements in their districts. So that it will be seen a great deal of work has to be done yet in the organization by January 1 of the parcel post system in Canada. PARCEL I'OST SYSTEM TO BE INAUGURATED Details Concerning Postal Project Which Wil Conic Into Operation Jan. 1. The postoffice department is working out the details of the new or rather resurrected, parcel post system which will e inaugurated throughout the Dominion on the first clay of the new year. The Hon. Mr. Pelletier, postmaster-general, has been studying the parcel post organizations in operation in Great Britain and the I'n'ted States, and while the Canadian system will be modelled somewhat on the lines of both, it is understood that it will differ in several important respects from either. No official statmeent as to details or rates is yet available, but from information gathered from well-informed sources the following outline is given by way of forecast of what the new syste mwill be. The British parcel post regulations provide for a unifor mrate all over the kingdom, but in the system inaugurated at the beginning of this year in the* United States, owing to the greater distances to be covered, the rate is regulated by a series of zones. While the necessity of a varying rate is generally* recognized in the States, it is also admitted that the zone system is a complicated one and difficult to handle. ln the new parcel post organization, now being worked out for Canada, the principle of a varying rate has had to be adopted, but it will be applied in much simpler form than it has been across the border. The two cases Of Canada and tbe United States are not quite parallel In this consideration of distance, as the provincial chain from Nova Scotia lo British Columbia is an easier proble int ban to provide facilities fnr tie* checked-board arrangement ol tin States, Broadly speaking, '"■''" pro\ nee will have its own Parcel post Bystem, handled by the " ntral postoffice, and charging a mih rate for parcels carried ,; ; the i :nts of the province. In i ich province will be Bcl ' me, but instead of the ' ■'■■'■' i geometrical it will be raphical one. The rates from '•i the others will be SUFFRAGISTS WOULD AMEND CONSTITUTION Washington, D. C, Dec. 1—"We demand an amendment to the United States constitution enfranchising women," was the theme of the formal opening ot the 45th annual convention of tbe National American Suffrage Association at a mass meeting here today.

The speakers were Mrs. Helen Ring Robinson, member of the state senate of Colorado; Dr. Anna Howard Shaw, president of the association; Mary Anderson, a member of the I. W. W.; Margaret Htnckey, a laundry worker of New- York who pleaded in behalf of '"the underpaid and underfed women industrial workers," and Rose Wins- low, who argued for a living wage for women instead of a minimum one. LADY AS BARRISTER Proves Splendid Cross Examiner, Bat Has Meagre Knowledge of Law Edmonton, Dec. 12.—Mrs. Amy H. Keane, author and poet and editor and publisher of a week-end journal in Edmonton, appeared in the supreme court of Alberta here in the role of a barrister to deny her liability for alleged debts amounting to $928, incurred in connection with the building of a residence in the southern part of the city. Two king's counsels appeared for the five plaintiffs. Mrs. Keane displayed more than ordinary ability as a questioner, but it was evident that her knowledge of court procedure is meagre. Oue of the plaintiffs was subjected to a gruelling cross examination. He appeared greatly relieved when Mr. Justice Beck, who presided, advised Mrs. Keane not to ask the witness any more questions, but to avail herself of the oppor'unity of giving testimony in her own behalf.

A special series is now being issued that Will show lands open for preemption In central and northern British Columbia. The surveys branch ot tho department of lands is publishing the maps, which are eight In number and cover 75,000 square miles of territory. They cover in detail the great unclaimed areas tributary to the new Grand Trunk Pacific line across British Columbia and the entire route of the Pacific Great Eastern ttB Well. Lands open for pre-emption are colored red on the maps, so that intending settlers can tell at a glance just what can be had, as well as the lands that have been alienated. In the past pre-emptors have been put to some trouble to find just what lands could be taken up in any one district. Instead of being forced to make a tedious enquiry along this line, the pre-emptor will now have this task performed for him by the government. The province will now display its lands before the eye of the settler and auk him to help himself. It is believed the assistance thus given will be of very great benefit and will result in the settlement ot much vacant land. By early spring it is expected to have three additional maps published, making in all, for the benefit of the pre-emptor, covering those portions of country thoroughly along the new railway lines, where settlement is expected to be heaviest. In addition the lands department is pushing ahead itB surveys as fast an posible in order to aid settlers in choosing locations and surveyed areas are shown on the pre-emptor's maps. To accompany these maps for pre- emptors, which the provincial lands department is now beginning to issue, Hon. W. R. Ross, minister of lands, has authorized the publication ot a series of descriptive booklets tellng of the features and possibilities of various provincial land districts ln the province. The first booklet ot the aeries covers the Fort Fraser division. Another dealing with the Fort George district will shortly make its apearance, while a third will deal with the Skeena river district, LIFE OF SPAIN'S KING IN GRAVE DANGER Madrid, Dec. 10.*—(Special)—The lite of King Alfonso, of Spain, is said to be ingrave danger from a disease of tho ear, which has spread to the bone that connects with the brain.

Speaking to a Herald reporter today, Fire Chief Campbell declared he was highly pleased with the work of the brigade in the recent tire. Wo need two more LSadger engines, declared tbe chief, one to be stationed on Hamilton avenue near the Empress and tlie other in the vicinity of the recent fire where a great many new dwellings have recently been erected. The cost would not amount to over $600 and they would furnish a very necessary addition to the present, tire-fighting apparatus. Another thing I would like to suggest is the installation of fire alarm boxes. The cost of these boxes would not be great and they would prove to be of invaluable assistance to the firemen. those who attend the entertainment ' being held in the Port George Theatre on Tuesday evening next.

New York, Dec. 4.—In a 10-round bout last night as Madison Square Gardens, Jess Willard of Kansas defeated Carl Morris of Oklahoma. Willard had the better of eight of the ten rounds, one was fairly even, and the other, the third, went to Mossis. The bout was disappointing as both men were slow and there was a good deal of wrestling and hugging with very few clean blows. With the exception of the third round Willard outboxed his opponent, and Morris was cautioned frequently for holding. Both were clumsy, but Willard did the cleverer work. Ho used a right cross and a right uppercut, while Morris played for the body at close quarters. Mor- riB floundered at times and seemed to have no judgment of distance. The crowd frequently Jeered and booed. The Christmas Gift Shop De Luxe Every Article Guaranteed and Prices Right. Ritchie & Clark JEWELLERS At the Sign of the Clock. SOUTH FORT GEORGE.
