T p pcop)e ]t jg scarcely likely that anything of this nature will be arranged at this late hour, and the Herald does not believe that the railway company will stand for anything like this after having undergone the annoyance to which they have been subjected by the operations of these townsite people. Mr. Hammond has just terminated a visit to this section. We understand that he is generally reducing his expenditures in the development of his town, and that he is a heavy I borrower in Vanconver at rates of interest which would seem to indicate tint the townsite business is not so profitable at present as it has been. issued placing the location ol the station 3000 feet east of the eastern boundary of the Ham- m0nd townsites. Thc Herald believes thai this decision was gained owing to the railway company's neglect of their preparation of the case. The proceedings, from a copy of the testimony taken down, show us that the statements made by the witnesses for tbe Natural Resources Security Com- pany Ltd., owners of the Fort George townsites were very misleading, and in some instances the Natural Re- sources Security Company's attorneys introduced what was evidently carefully prepared material, having :. gen ine foundation, calculated to hurt tbe case of South Fort George bj vituperation.

Mr. C. G. Holden has for the past fivti years been manager of thc justly celebrated University Club, of Chicago. Without doubt this club is the most beautiful and palatial building of its kind in the world today. Both the Holden brothers have for many years been connected with the well-known Horton-Holden Hotel Syndicate, whose string of beautiful fire-proof hotels nre a feature of the comfort afforded travellers! in the middle western states. Accompanying the Holden Brothers during the latter part of their stay, was Mr. B. 0. Fppley, from Lima, Ohio, a gentleman who is also looking over this section as an investment field..

A raid on a tent gambling house was made by the police last Monday night, resulting in the confiscation of $116. In money, nnd 0 quantity of gambling paraphernalia, The dive was running full blast in a tent north of the U.T.1V grade, when the police arrived on the scene and interrupted the " '111 game uv draw."

Some amusing Incidents occurred nt the trial, when it was shown that certain of the gamblers were known crooks, using small hand mirrors by which they could tell the denomination of the cards. One of these ttn-homs tried to explain away the suspicion created by the crooked appliance by stating that he used it to look at his teeth with. Magistrate Home refusod to bite however, (Herald Correspondence.) To an outsider the difficulties that present themselves on the construction of a railway line seems stupendous. So they are. The dangers to life and limb that arc engendered in the surmounting of those difficulties are too treacherous to encounter, no matter what the monetary compensation might be. But to the experienced those difficulties arc not so great, and the dangers by constant and ready use of the eye and hand diminish to the vanishing point. Engineering skill nowadays has been applied to such a degree that the most formidable obstacles disappear and the most fearsome perils vanish provided that the pioneers of the movement-the rank and file—are provided with the equipment and sustaining power from the central station who should see that such equipment is furnished when required. Through all the camps 1 have visited there seems to be a woeful lack of three important factors that should bind the workers into a homogeneous mass of a working unity, that should advance the construction instead of retarding it. The G.T.F. line was promised at Fort George this fall. If it reaches there next fall "1 hae ma doots." The engineers and sub-contractors, say it is doing fine. Nothin ' could be i better, and that the only thing that is keeping it back, are the natural unforeseen engineering obstacles such as land slides, shrinkage on the muskeg dumps and difficulties on the rock cutting. These troubles may be and are expect- j ed in the construction of every line of j railway and on the line from Tete Jaune to Fort George they seem to' have a fair share of them. But there are other causes that ob-! tain that 1 think are more eontributary | to the delay than even those. The sub-contractors complain that although there is no difficulty in getting men. yet they cannot get the men they want, although they offer high prices for the services of such men. That the foreigners with whom they have to be content, are green, inexperienced, cannot speak any other language but their own and that they have to be taught their work from the very commencement and when they know a little they move on and a fresh batch of imported ignoramusej have to be taught all over again. One cause of delay-probably affecting all classes of laborers on the construction from the laborer (stationmen and day men), skilled mechanics, and the sub-contractors themselves, dissatisfaction at the lack of good food supply. Complete lack in many camps of adequate medical attention and medical supplies even the cheapest necessary aids to health and sanitation in camp life being wanting. The men are docked, each and every one, one dollar per month, for this attendance and because they do not get it, even the ignorant foreigner from Europe, who is learning and learning more than his work and the language of his teachers, expects this and has a right to he dissatisfied if he does not get it. The irregular mail service for which everyone pays twenty-five cents per month, neither the letters that are sent out or those that arrive at headquarters are delivered at their destination for months after they are sent and in many cases never delivered at all. The sub-contractors also complain that they cannot get their material when they want it. They cannot get their rails and the necessary tools and, perforce, they must keep their men idle, eating their heads off, at the subcontractors' cost, or if station men they must be kept idle eating their own heads off at their own cost. This is another cause of delay due to the inadequate organization at headquarters, and the third catiso is the spirit that exists amongst tho men and amongst the camps. The lack of cohesion from those in authority to those at their service, not a spirit of friendly help, but the devil helps you if you are not smart enough to help yourself before I help myself. 1 would suggest, humbly suggest that these may be remedied; for ths first cause of delay, supervision that camp supplref, mct'ical and mail delivery, etc. s'r .11 be ameliorated and adver- IContlnued on page 6.) If AYS I TO INVESTIGATE TYPOOID OUTBREAK Government Sends Official to Inspect Camps in the Railway Construction Zone. With instructions to investigate the reported outbreak of typhoid fever here and in the camps alone, the construction zone, Dr. C. McLean late physician in charge of the Hazelton hospital, arrived here on tho boat yesterday from Victoria. Dr. McLean wa:--. sent into thc interior by Dr. Fagan, of the provincial department of health. Dr. McLean handled very successfully a similar state of affairs in Hazelton, and was chosen by thc health department to make a thorough investigation of the conditions of the'public health along the construction of the G.T.P., and report to Victoria. Dr. D. B. Lazier, the local medical health officer, reports several new cases of typhoid this week. The provincial polico, in their capacity of health officers, have been investiga ting sanitary conditions in the town. They have condemned certain wells for general public use, anil are en- deavoring to keep certain wells of the best water In constant use, thereby maintaining their pi rity. The best precautions are being taken by all the authorities to prevent the spread of the slight outbreak, and no anxiety is felt locally. Many people are being treated with anti- typhus vaccine by the local physicians, and Dr. McLean will continue this work wherever it is desired on the ennstruction line. A meeting is called for Tuesday evening next, In thc tire hall, for the purpose of discussing the building of a hospital here. It is to be hoped that something definite will be done in this matter.

McLaughlin was the hostess at, a pretty garden party, held In her beautiful river-front garden last Thursday afternoon. Mrs. McLaughlin's flower garden is one of the beauty spots of the Fort George district. Amongst those present were: Mrs. Thos. Heme: Mrs. Holden; Mrs. Capt. Foster; Mrs. C. M. Brown; Miss Crawford, and Mrs. McGaughey. The occasion was in honor of Mrs. E. L. Holden, who is terminating a several week's visit, to this town with her husband today. Three hundred head of cattle arrived here this week for the P, Bums Company. The animals are being slaughtered at the company's yards on the Pierre Itoi ranch. A dead man wns found on an island a mile below the town this week. He wis not Identified and was buried by the police. Another case of "found drowned." Inspector of Inl inn Agencies Cummiskey was a visitor here this week. He left for Fraser Lake to make an inspection of the reserves accompanied hy Indian Agent McAllan, George Hardie, local superintendent of construction for Messrs, Foley, Welch & Stewart, leaves In a few days for a holiday tour of Bev- eral months. Mr. Hardie was ono of the lirst of the contracting force to arrive here. Accountant Richmond, of the local branch of the Royal Hank of Canada, returned yesterday from a pleasure trip to the coast citi.u. "Doc" Campbell, of the Gore & McGregor field force, left this morning for Victoria. A meeting will be held in the fire hall on Third Street, on Tuesday evening August 26th., 1913 at 8 o'clock to discuss the building of a hospital, and also to elect a committee to look after same. A story from the pen of Hon. Frank Oliver, Ex-Minlster of the In terlor under the Launer Government, reaches us through his paper, the Ed monton Bulletin. Hon. Mr. Oliver was a recent visitor here, and the following story is derived from his observations: In speaking of the region opened to occupation in Northern British Columbia by the construction of the Grand Trunk Pacific the question is naturally asked, "What is it good for?" The answer is that il has possibilities of lumbering, farming, mining and fishing on an immense scale. First of all, although hilly, it is not mountainous, and is composed of clay, not rock. Fort George is in the same latitude as Ed monton-that is, a little below 53 north-and in within 2.r>0 miles of the Pacific coast by air line, while Edmonton is 000. The elevation is about 300 feet less than Edmonton. A number of former citizens of Edmonton are now residents at Fort George. Their experience of the climate is that the summer there is longer and hotter, nnd with less rain, than at Edmonton, while the winter is correspondingly shorter and generally milder, and with less wind, but with occasionally cold snaps. The soil lacks the redundant natural fertility of the prairies, and, of course, must lie cleared of woods before it can be cultivated, but where cultivation has been tried it has been found reasonably successful. Although the rainfall is lighter than at Edmonton, it is still sufficient to permit of cultivation without irrigation. To the southwest, irrigation is necessary at Quesnel, seventy-five miles down the Fraser from Fort George. Westward from Fort George, in the Nechaco and Bulkley valleys, traversed by the G.T.P., on the way to Hazelton, tie conditions of climate and soil are said to be very much the same as in the vicinity of Fort George, with possibly « somewhat larger rainfall. The extent of the agricultural possibilities of the region may be gathered in some measure from the pre-empt on maps issued by the government of British Columbia. The Fort (Jeorge sheet shows land alienated by purchase or pre-emption northward from Fort George to Summit Lake, which is tl e source of a branch of the Peace, a distance of about thirty miles, and southward on both banks of the Fraser ft r an equal distance, with a breadth of from 25 to 50 miles, Large areas have also been purchased or pre-empted along the Upper Praser to the Home Creek crossing, ninety miles from Fort George. Also large areas on Bear Creek, which enters the Fraser from the west at the Third Crossing, and for a long distance along Willow Kiver. The Stuart Lake shows a considerable area taken along Crouked Itivt r. the outlet of Summit Lake, towards the Peace. On the Salmon Hiver the area alienated extends to a point nearly fifty miles from Fort George. A large area is taken on the Stuart Kiver which enters the Nechaco from Stuart Lake, north of the railway; and a similar area is taken on the northwesterly sliore of Stuart Lake, at least fifty miles distant from the nearest railway point. All along the railway, which follows the Nechaco lo Fraser lake, I'lO miles west of Fort George, a broad belt on both sides of the railway has been alienated. Taken altogether, this is a very large area staked for agriculture. It does not include lie Bulkley valley, still further west towards Hazelton, which has also been largely alienated. Of course, the mere pre-emption or purchase of these large areas does not mean immediate occupntion and cultivation, even to the same extent that similar acquisition of land on the prairies would. The loc ition is largely speculative, and, besides, there is the deterrent of the cost and delay of (Continued on pago 8.)

Devoted to the Interests of the Fort Georgo District and ihe Northern Interior of British Columbia. Subscription $3.00 a Year in Advance Advertising Rates on Application Wl-1 uro flattered at the attention of tlie Vancouver Sun bestowed upon an article from the pen of our Victoria correspondent which dwell upon a future railway policy of Sir Richard McBride, which appeared in these columns some weeks ago. In a long-winded editorial on August 8th, the Sun introduces the matter as follows: "An interest iu'r interview with Sir Richard McBride, which appears in the issue of the South Fort George Herald of July 26, is all the more worthy of attention since, if the statements attributed to the premier are genuine, and we have no doubt they are, they constitute a declaration of the policy which the government will place before the province, when they next appeal to the electors—an event which, it is becoming apparent, is not very remote. When we suggest the possibility that Sir Richard mav hesitate to acknowledge the utterances attributed to him in the Herald, we do so only because no such full and definite announcement of the programme, which he there outlines, has been made in any of the daily papers on the Coast and it seems singular that Sir Richard should single out the South Fort Herald as the publication to be favored by first conveying to the public the future intentions of his government. It is true, of course, that the people of that district are so situated that Sir Richard's last and greatest election cry would appeal, in a singular maimer, to them ; and no doubt a policy possessing the sanction of the Northern districts could be brought more effectively before the Southern constituencies than it could be if it were sprang on them unsupported to lie subjected to the criticism which it would undoubtedly receive." The article from which, the Vancouver Sun gleaned its lirst full intimation of Sir Richard's intentions regarding the great north and south transcontinental line was the result of an interview accorded to our correspondent. We are not aware that the important line of policy foreshadowed in this paper as a result of that interview was by any means restricted in its publication to this journal, but we appreciate the fact that the article dealt with brought into a context certain vast undertakings of railroad and international authorities and presented the various projects as an interwoven and culminative undertaking, the possibilities of which have appealed to the far-seeing politician, Sir Richard McBride. We fail to understand how any circumstances can justify the attack by even the most rabid partizan journal upon such a project as the Premier's advocation of a line of railway extending from the Isthmus of Panama to Alaska. The matter steps boldly away from the intricacies of conflicting political opinion and becomes at once an international undertaking for the promotion of industrial and commercial development along the Pacific provinces and states. The project of a north and south railroad through British Columbia has always vastly interested the people of Northern British Columbia. Especially have the possibles of this project been watched by the writer. A few men in British Columbia have made an issue of this north and south railroad, especially Mr. C. II. Lugrin, editor of the Victoria Colonist. As far back as the year 1908 the writer dealt with the crying need of such a route, and we have lived to see the day when Vancouver and Victoria must realize to the fullest extent the fact that the building of the P.G.E. even has been delayed too long in the stages of its inception. It must be realized that British Columbia needs, first, last and all the time, railroads, and then more railroads. The section of this province now developed by the construction of railroads is infinitesimal in comparison to the enormous region to the north which lies stagnant. The meeting called for Tuesday next to discuss the matter of obtaining a hospital in this town will, we trust, be thoroughly representative. This matter assumes the proportions of an important duty. The support of the provincial government to this move may lie anticipated with confidence, and we see no reason why the matter should not be launched successfully at the meeting. In this undertaking thc valuable assistance of the ladies of our community may be relied on, and this assistance in itself should materially support the issue. An agitation has been on foot for some time, commenced by the "interests," to prevail upon the Governor- in-Council to refuse a hearing of the G.T.P. appeal from the decision of the Railway Commission. This is a sign of weakness and fear in the bowels of the octopus. The "interests" know full well lhat this appeal spells disaster to them. THE 11 KM OF .ennedy, Blair k U).

Evidently emboldened by the easy manner in which they disposed of a few hundred acres of land as "Fort George town lots." the Natural Resources Security rj0ii of Vancouver, B.C., have started to put over another proposition that would hardly bear the acid test. This is to be "the coming city of the northern inferior, " as stated in their varicolored posters--Bulkley. For the benefit of those unfamiliar with Northern British Columbia it may be mentioned that one of the best known agricultural and fruit areas is the Bulkley valley. It will thus be selfevident that a "city'' by the same name, thus linking the two together, would loom largely in the mind of the unthinking public and make them easier victims for oily salesmen. This is the usual method of the doubtful subdivision vendor. According to the literature produced by one of the townsite managers, James B. Martin, lots are being sold from $250 to $350. This would not be too bad if there was anything tangible or legitimate behind the proposition that would bear recommendation. But Bulkley does not by any means appear to be in that class, and there is nothing on the horizon to warrant any prediction that it ever will be. A few facts on the proposed highly imaginary "city of Bulk- ley" are here given for the quiet deliberation of possible investors. The only settlement in that district which could as yet even be classed as a village is Telkwa, situated at the junction of the Bulkley and Telkwa rivers. The railway commission have already been applied to for their official sanction of a station at this Point, with fair prospects of the request being granted. East of Telkwa about one mile is Aider- mere, where a village has been established. There are fairly good hotels at both places, with the usual stores and residences necessary in the early stages of the pioneer village. But it i_ not anticipated that they will develop into towns of any great importance, or lead to a stampede among investors and speculators. About four miles east of Telkwa is the heralded "coming city °f the northern interior," Bulk- lei'' According to information received from a resident in that district there is no human habitation on the same side of the nver w>thin three miles of this Proposed "city" 0r townsite. Une or two houses are said to mark h°niesteads on the high J"» of land across the Bulkley. or the townsite, so attractively "apped out by the Vancouver jai estate company, the Grand ^Pacific have no plans at ^"t for a depot date, and surely the public deserves that much of a guarantee before parting with their hard- earned money. General Manager Hammond is said to be a past master in the art of getting people to believe that they are getting "what they aint." To j udge by some advertising literature prospective clients could hardly be blamed for adjudging him as bordering almost on the superhuman in his supposed prescience and ability to forecast eventualities. In a word, they practically believe he is invariably endowed with so much "inside" information that! he can tell in advance just where divisional points, stations, and so on, are going to be—with the resulting contention that he is able to pick off the ripe cherries and hand them over to his friends. But "the best laid plans of mice and men gang aft agley." Mr. Hammond, with the presumed intuitiveness of a Sherlock Holmes for ferreting out hidden Becrets, discovered that the divisional point was going to be about four miles east of Telkwa. That problem settled in his own mind, it seems, he quietly planned to beat out any possible opposition to secure the homesteads in a district that must surely be transformed from forests into a flourishing city. He, no doubt, had visions of the real estate turnovers culminating in a huge private fortune. It is reported that sufficient farm land was secured to populate a city, just as happened at Fort George. Not a cloud could be seen in the blue. In the meantime the railway engineers were busy surveying the whole district and reporting to their chiefs the various points under consideration. One after another was dropped, till eventually it simmered down to the site finally selected nine miles west of Telkwa-instead of four miles east. This has been definitely decided, and will be known to future generations as the G.T.P. divisional point and town of Smithers, the commercial centre of Bulkley valley. Telkwa and Aldermere may grow, but by force of circumstances will remain of much lesser importance. Smithers seems destined to dominate. And Mr. Hammond's vision of having his name written large by future historians as the man who built the great "city of the northern interior" appears to have been fatally wrecked on the hidden rock of Smithers. It is another sad case of what might have been-and a voice crying in the wilderness. Alas! Poor Bulkley ! recovering this submerged wealth is by dredging, and several attempts have been made with the old-style dredges with mediocre results, the machine not being adaptable to the peculiar conditions which exist on the Fraser. About the time the high-water stage of the Fraser was reached a dredge was finished in New Westminster which is the invention of Mr. J. Rochford, a placer miner of forty-eight years' experience, and which is expected to revolutionize the dredging business in British Columbia, not only for gold, but also for sand and gravel. In principle it works exactly opposite from the old types, the dredging buckets dragging the material from below instead of scooping it up and carrying it to the surface of the barge, thence to be run into sluice buckets. There is a two- inch space under each bucket and riffles of amalgam plates may be arranged in the run-way beneath the buckets, converting it into a sluice box, saving the gold below the water. In the old dredges the sluice boxes had to be built on the deck of the dredge and water pumped up for sluicing purposes. It is claimed by the inventor, Mr. Rochford, from whom the dredge takes its name, that the capacity of the machine built in New Westminster is 100 cubic yards of material per hour. Automatic arrangements are provided for overcoming difficulties encountered by striking boulders and the sluice may be raised at any time for cleaning up. A Seattle syndicate, headed by Mr. A. Hanford, brother of Judge Hanford, has just purchased the dredge, and it is now on its way up the river to be put to work on twenty acres of Union bar which the syndicate owns. In addition to the twenty acres they have a lease from the government on one-half of the river bottom adjoining. Numerous tests have been made on the bar, and it is claimed that the gravel carries from 35 cents to 65 cents per cubic yard in gold. The expense of operating the dredge is figured at 3 1-2 cents per cubic yard. _T %_9___% tJ A MJ M__t Lime, Shingles and Cement in any quantity.

But even so, the fact that such large amounts of time and money have been spent in securing a more or less indefinite title to the land indicates beyond question that the people spending the time and money had a belief in the ultimate value of the district for agricultural purposes. Whether the work of development be fast or slow, it is a fixed fact that there is a country capable of development. West of Furl (leorge is a remarkable system of fresh water hikes, interlocking Ihe head waters of the Nechaco with those of rivers Uowing direct to the coast. North of the railway Stuart, Tacla, Trembleau and Fraser empty into the Nechaco and Babine into the Skeena. Smith of the railway Francois, Cheslatta, Ootsa, Netalkug, and many others, some of them over sixty milcs in length, form the head waters of tho Nechaco. It was because of the lakes, hill-i and woods of this region that lhe North-West Company, afterwards the Hudson's Bay Company, gave the region thc name of New Caledonia. The lakes abound in fish, and have both agricultural land and timl er on their shureR. Although rock is very little in evidence throughout the greater part of the region under mention, mineral claims as well as agricultural lands have been staked, but what will be developed in the lake region is for the future to tell. There is, however, in the region readily accessible from Fort George a region of whose mineral-bearing capa-1 bility there is no doubt. The famous ' Cariboo gold mines, which set the world crazy over half a century ago and are-, still producing the precious metal, are; situated in the great bend of the Fraser ' from Tele Jaune Cache to Quesnel. Today they are more readily accessible | from Ihe end of the G.T.P. steel at the second crossing of the Fraser river than from any other railroad point. Two hundred miles of down-stream navigation by steamer or scow, past South Fort George to Quesnel, and then sixty miles by wagon road. At present supplies reach Ashcroft, B. C, j by the C.P.R. from points east or west. From Ashcroft the haul is by wagon, 1G7 iniles with a tremendous up-grade for a pari of the way, at a minimum rate of 4 cents per pound, to Soda Creek on the Fraser, and then by steamer up the Fraser from Soda Creek to Quesnel, 60 miles, at a minimum rate of one cent a pound, and then by the same (10 miles of wagon road as in the case of forwarding by the G. T. P. There should be a difference of at leai t two cents a pound in favor of the route by way of Furt George. With tl e further progress of the railway toward Fort George this margin should be increased. Although mining operations in Cariboo are limited today it is generally conceded that the reason for the : limitation is the high cost of freight j on mining machinery and supplies, and j that with evury substantial reduction in cost would come an expansion of the mining industry. It is worthy of note that if ever the development warranted, a railway branch of 80 miles from the G.T.P. at the mouth of Goat River on the Upper Fraser would give the prairie direct railway connection With Cariboo. To put the matter in a few words the construction of the Grand Trunk Pacilic is creating a new empire to the j west of Edmonton, in northern British Columbia, where tbe immediate possi- bilities are great and the futuro incalculable. The opportunity is there, lt is for the enterprise of Edmonton to take advantage of the opportunity.
