Farm Lands for Alice Arm Logging operations will commence at Alice Arm, on the big flats laying between the Kitsault and Illiance Rivers, and extending to the foot of MoGraw mountain just as soon as, there is a market for the logs. Mr. S. D. Trethewey, of Trethewey Bros., Abbotsford, B. C, who operate a big sawmill there, is in town, and is busy locating lines, etc on the land. He stated that it was their intention of logging off the land just as soon as a market could be found for the logs. The land will be cleared when it is being logged, stumps will be blown and pulled with the donkey engine that is used for pulling logs, and the land will be put in shape for farm lands. There is over 1,000 acres between the Kitsault and Illiance Rivers, of which Trethewey Bros, own about 900. Work would have been started this spring if a market could have been found for the logs. The land is perfectly level and the soil is first-class, as is attested by the .crops already grown, there, by Mr. H. H. Carney, and others. The soil is practically all river silt, and rotten vegetation, with no muskeg. The ground and climate are admirably suited for dairy farming, truck gardening, pig and chicken raising, and small fruits of all kinds, and with the different mining camps operating, and Anyox at our door, a ready market will always be found for whatever is grown. A bridge will be built over the Kitsault River, and the farmers will only have from 1 to 2 miles to haul their produce to the Government wharf for outside shipment. . BASEBALL GOSSIP The Jasper Baseball team are making a tour of the .towns along the Canadian National Railway. They are the champions of their distriot, and are a first-class aggregation. They are booked to play Prince Rupert on July 28th. and 29th., and the Community League is negotiating in an endeavour to hare them eome to Anyox, and play a series of three games, on August 1st, 2nd and! 3rd. It is rumoured around baseball oirolesthat one of the local pitchers has had an offer to pitch a trial game for one of the big league teams back east. The pitcher in question wears a peaked cap when in the box. Guess some of the big managers are beginning to worry about material for the next world's series.' ANYOX TO VOTE ON LIQUOR STORE Dame Rumor says that there is to be a plebiscite taken in Anyox, some time next week, to find out the attitude of the citizens regarding the establishing of a Govern, ment Liquor Store. It is understood that the management of the Granby Co. is agreeable, and will abide by the decision of the citizens. The Liquor Control Board will no doubt have a problem, should the vote taken be favorable to the establishment of a liquor store, as there are no available premises, and although they no doubt could obtain a lease on some ground to build on, this proposition would take considerable time and money and the Liquor Control Board might not consider it good business to erect a costly building in a closed town, controlled by one company, which can at any time cease operations, and place the Liquor Control Board in a very embarrassing position. Would it not be much better to establish a store at Alice AymA to supply both Anyox and A^ice Arm. Alice Arm is the nearest open town to Anyox, a town' with a future, and premises are obtainable for immediate use. There is a tri-weekly ferry service between the two towns,/and there should not be any complaint on account of delivery. ALICE ARM NOTES Mr. H. F. Kergin, our local member, when interviewed in regard to the opening of a liquor store in-this district, said that he favored at least one between the two towns. That the citizens of Anyox had really the right to say where it would be, on account of having a greater population, although Alice Arm being an open town had something to gain, while to Anyox it meant nothing outside of being able to obtain a supply of liquor conveniently. He realizes the difficulty of opening a store there on account of obtaining premises, as the Granby Co. could not be expeoted to supply premises when they are short of room themselves, and there is'nt anything to gain. In the opinion of Jennings Bryan, it is "an unfriendly act" virtually amounting to "hatching conspiracies against the laws made by a friendly government for the protection of its people," for Great Britain to.permit the sale of liquor in her Bahama colony, close to the American coast. Friend Bryan is growing temperate. Once upon a time, in his view, it was an unfriendly act and a conspiracy against the peace and safety of the united States for Great Britain to exist at all. Mr. S. D. Trethewey arrived in town on Monday, from Vancouver, to inspect the various properties in which himself and his brother Mr. J. Trethewey, are interested. Mr. Don Cameron left on Thursday, for a few days in Prince Rupert. The home of Mr. and Mrs. G. Bruggy is shining resplendent in a coat of new paint. Mrs. Bruggy is reputed to be the artist. See Al Falconer for Wood or Coal. Don Cameron is another of our citizens who do'nt believe in sparing the paint at the expense of the boards. His bungalow is now about the neatest looking building in town. Some of the natives around here will have strawberrieitis or some other unmentionable sickness if the season lasts much longer. Billy Burke invited all the boys from Auyox who are camping here to a strawberry and ice cream feed. Billy's heart is in the right place when he goes, out of his way to make the kids happy. Constable D. S. Cameron, returned oh Monday from the Naas River. He reports that the fishing, has considerably improved: Mrs. Ballantine, who was camp- here from Anyox, was taken home kxa. Tuesday, suffering from pleurisy. Mr. & Mrs. W. G. H. Campbell, of Anyox, has been camping at Silver City since the first of the month, Mr, Campbell has been averaging about 24 trout every day, from the Illiance River. • Mr. and Mrs. F. B.

Have you Subscribed -to The Herald.? THE MAN AROUND TOWN Miss Fitzpatrick left for her home in Vancouver last Thursday. Dan Patterson, an old timer of the Granby Co., came back to his old love on Thursday. He is looking well and is still the same old Dan. The roofs of the houses at the beach are getting their usual coat of tar, under the able direction of Sam Downs. The smelter and Elks had a tough struggle on the diamond on Thursday evening. The game ending in a draw, 2-2. Fitzpatrick pitched for the smelter and Draudson for the Elks. • Salmon and Clark handled the game in a very satisfactory manner. It was one of the closest fought games seen this season, although the Elks might have put a little more pep in the game. The Hand-bell Ringers were a little slow in getting to work; but "Jimmie the school teacher" had his pupils rooting in good style. Friday night was football night, and also the play off for the first half of the season between the Elks and smelter; the Elks winning the game by a score of 2-0. Angus Beaton scored one and Johnson the other goal. The game was refereed by R. Wilkinson of the mine. Both teams played good ball; but the Elks more than outclassed the smelter in the second half of the game. This makes four straight wiiis for the Elks team. The A. C. L. Orchestra gave a dance at; the mine after the football game. The music was up to the standard of this very excellent orchestra. 'Mr. H. S, Muuro came home on Sunday morning, after paying a flying trip to Vancouver. The Elk's building is now in the hands of the painters. Last Thursday, at our local playhouse, one of Griffiths masterpieces was shown, entitled Broken Blossoms." The acting was of a finished nature, with Lilian Gish in the limelight. The orchestra played music to suit the occasion, their rendering of "Traumuai" being unique. We doubt if an Anyox audience has heard such music before. It has a charm which is all its own. We think if the Safety First Engineer ever put a stop watch on the driver of the store truck, it would be an eye opener to *him. That habit of allowing children to ride on the truck is going to bring him into trouble sooner or later. The children should be the first one's to be thought of in our town, Continued on page 4. 111 iiu wmiiiHwiijii 7 ALICE ARM AND ANYOX HERALD, Alice Abm, Saturday, July 23rd., 1921 The Alice Arm and Anyox Herald Published at Alice Arm E.

That Alice Arm is going to be "a town in the near future of no mean importance, is again emphasised by the fact that logging and land clearing work will commence on the big flats of the Illiance and Kitsault Rivers, as soon as the market for logs pick up. We shall then have 1000 acres of the finest farm lands in British Columbia, which will probably be split up into five or ten acre plots, and will provide homes for 100 or 200 families. This- is no pipe-dream; but something tangible, and will happen probably, sooner than some of us expect. The whole thing has been worked out in detail by Trethewey Bros., and if their plans carry out, we shall have one of the biggest and best tracts of agricultural land in northern British Columbia, as well as the richest silver and copper mines. Situated as we are, at the head of Alice Arm, 50 or 60 miles from the coast proper, we do hot have the heavy rainfall of the coast, and that berries and small fruits of all kinds will ripen here is proven by the fact that wild raspberries, currants, crab apples, etc., grow in profusion, and a look round the gardens will show what can be grown in the way of fruit and vegetables. That a ready market will be found for all the produce grown is a foregone conclusion, the big mining camps and town of Alice Arm, and also the town of Anyox will be the natural market, and if there is anything to be shipped outside water transportation is available, with a wharf situated only from one to two miles from the farms, which a motor truck will cover in about ten minutes. It is very probable that in a year or two that where the big spruce now stand the sun will shine down on a fertile plain dotted over with farm houses, and well kept farms, and a happy contented community. Great War Veterans Association Want to Legalize Beer Selling The Vancouver Branch of the Great War Veterans' Association has decided to inaugurate a campaign to enlist the support of the public for legalizing the selling of beer in veterans clubs. They are promised the support of the Grand Army of United Veterans. l NAAS RIVER NOTES Major Motherwell, chief inspector of fisheries, accompanied by Inspector J. T. C. Williams, visited the canneries on the Naas River last week. ? Dr. Gilbert, of. the State of Washington, U. S. A., the leading salmon expert on the coast, visited the Naas River last week Sockeye fishing has considerably improved, and boats are now averaging 25 fish per boat. The Canneries are still hopeful of obtaining a good pack. The ladies of Anvmdale Naas Harbour canneries, held a picnic last week at Devils Point. Mr. W. T. Aclamson, fishery overseer, will shortly retire on superannuation, after 27 years in the service, 22 of which has been spent on the Naas River, Liberal Convention in Prince Rupert elects Mr. F. Stork to Contest this Riding At a liberal convention held in Prince Rupert, on Tuesday, July 12th, Mr. Fred Stork, was chosen to contest the Skeena Federal riding, in which Anyox & Alice Arm is included, at the next general election. In accepting the nomination, Mr. Stork said he wished to heartily thank the delegates for the confidence they had shown in selecting him for the important work of carrying the Liberal standard on this important occasion. He recei ved a similar nomination four years ago and did the very best he could. He would continue to do his best in the coming contest. Oil is Struck on B. C. Boundary Line The Imperial Oil Company is reported to have struck oil in the Pouce Coupe country, where they a,re drilling, and that they have encountered an outburst of gas with a mixture of oil. (The company has fenced its plant with barbed wire and put armed guards around the place to prevent the secrets of the discoverers getting out. The strike is just on the other side of the British Columbia Bound ary line, near Rolla, B. C. Old Indian Relic Found at Alice Arm An interesting old -Indian relic in the shape of a stone hammer was found by Mr. Walter MacDon- ald this week, while working on the wharf road. It is made of very light rock, and the handle is broken off. That it has been extensively used is evidenced by its smoothness, and it looks as though it was used for pounding something up, probably the squaws using it in their household duties, or maybe it was used for cracking the heads of prisoners taken in war. It is on exhibition at Mr, G. Bruggy's store. WATER NOTICE. TAKE NOTICE that David Jercnii- erson, whose address is 1205, Dominion Building, Vancouver, B.

ALICE ARM AND ANYOX HERALD, Alice Arm, Saturday, July 23rd., 1921 l(> ANYOX BASEBALL On Thursday, July 14th, the smelter and the Elks teams met in the second game of the new league , series, in the presence of a large Crowd of spectators who had the pleasure of witnessing a pitoher's battle, which was a credit to both "• pitohers. The batteries were for the smelter, Fitzpatrick brothers, and for the Elks, Draudson and Down. The smelter led with 1 run to ■the Elk's 0 until the fifth innings, when the Elks made two runs. The smelter came back in the sixth when Emil Loeske hit to right field, and brought in the run which tied the score. Both teams strained every effort to get ahead in the seventh innings but that closed with no score, and finished a great game a tie. Two runs each. On Monday, July 18th, the Elks and the mine played the second game of the series, which resulted in a win for the Elks by 3 runs to 2. Draudson and Down for the Elks and Ferguson and Thomas for the mine, were the batteries. It was a close game, as the scores show, neither pitchers allowing the batters to get away with much. The fielding on both sides was of a high calibre, and those who witnessed the game had the pleasure of enjoying a first-class game. J. Cody for the Elks and J. Ferguson for the mine, were the leading wielders of the willow. ANYOX FOOTBALL On Friday, July 15th. the Elks and the smelter played off the deciding game for the leadership of the first half of the league series. A large crowd of enthusiasts turned out and witnessed a great game, which never lacked enthusiasm. The Elks, who in the early part of the .football season did not show up as good as the other two teainSj losing practically every time they stepped on the field for the first few games, have shown that even with a bad start, so long as you do not lose heart, your chances are as good as the others in the long race. This they proved on Friday night, by coming out victorious with a score of 2 goals to the smelter's nil. The smelter put up a hard fight, and they have done so all through the league; but their forwards just could not land the pigskin in the net, and that is what counts in spite of the good play in the field. TRAIL SMELTER BREAKS RECORD Trail smelter broke all its records for tonnage of ore handled, during the six months just ended, a total of 208,484 tons of concentrates being received up to June 30. Of this total, 3154 tons was custom ore and concentrates, the Consolidated Mining & Smelting Company's own properties, accounting for the balance. The receipts for the corresponding period last year were 147,389 tons.

THE MINISTER OF MINES, VICTORIA, British Columbia NOTICE TO ADVERTISERS KXMMMMMMMMMKKMM The Herald is Circulated in the Towns of Anyox and Alice Arm, which has a combined population of over 2,500, and an annual payroll of over $2,000,000 where we have not the ordinary facilities which other places enjoy, owing to the peculiar conditions which exist here. The company are preaching safety first at all times, but it is up to us as individuals to co-operate with them in order to get RESULTS. Bert Wing paid us a flying business trip from Swamp Point, on Saturday, but went back again Monday morning. -~ On Sunday evening, at the Ball Park, Bert Knox's wood butchers again defeated the mine machine drillers, muckers, etc. By winning both games the players are/ now entitled to sign up with Dooley Dean's outfit and then qualify into the major class. Anyway, it was a great game with lots of enthusiasm on both sides, and some remarkable running. We would have liked to have seen "Hard Winter" bag a home run, but somehow things did'nt go just as smoothly this time. The Mechanics pitched McKay instead of Logan. We heard the reason was that the wood butchers were afraid of Logan's bob balls. Cheer up Bill, for Jack Cody has his eye on you. The score was 12-10 or there-a-bouts. A few runs,either way did not seem to matter at all. The mine and Elk's were at it tooth and nail, on Monday evening in about the best game we have witnessed this year. The game was clean, full of pep, and both pitchers had good support. Pete pitched for the Elk's and Jimmie for the mine. Jimmie was at his best Monday evening, and pitched a rattling good game. The umpiring was in the hands of Waterman and Clark and seemed to please the crowd. Both sides had hearty support from the spectators. Chapman seemed to be enjoying himself amongst a bunch' from the mine and smelter, and those handbell ringers that he takes so much pride in brought his team home to victory. Whilst we had Eddie Swanson at the commencement of the game, his efforts were feeble indeed towards the last, and we don't think Danny Dean will ever recover from the shock. "Skipper" Ross Pedvin chaperoned a party of eligible bachelors to Trout Lake, on Saturday evening, for the week-end. They reported a dandy time and caught over 30 trout. ANY0XJF00TBALL The first game of the new series was played on AVednesday, July 14th, between the Elks and smelter, resulting in a win for the Elks with a score of 3 goals to nil. It was an interesting game from start to finish, and the smeltei' were rath*' unfortunate in not lauding one in the net. They played a hard game, but their forwards did mot seem to be able to settle down to combination football like that of tlie Elks, whose forwards play the game of short snappy passes, which seems to be the most successful style on this ground. In the defence line the Elks are more steady than the gas-eaters. The work of Ferre standing out above all others. Cy. Greenwell at centre half is a wonder at breaking up attacks, but he does not take time to place when getting rid of the ball. Following are the line-up of the teams: Elks; Down, Roberts, Farre, Nixon, Greenwell, Brown, Beaton, McMillan, Johnston, Jones and Armstrong.. Smelter; Hutchings, Hart, Parker, Kirkland, Sherman, Crear, J, Brown, McKenzie, McDougal, Hic- klin, and Seaton. Referee; Mr. Dick Wilkinson. A word to those players who would dispute the referee's decision. It is useless. Mr. Wilkinson is an old-timer at the game. His name was well known on -the line-up of Preston Northend some 30 years ago, and he has followed, the game and its rules ever since, GREEN FORESTS MEAN MORE Payrolls Fish Employment BURNT FORESTS MEAN LESS Crops Recreation Game MORAL-Be Careful with Fire M^mm
