Cf) NEER NEWS. VOL. 1. ALBERNI, B. C, SEPT. 7. 1907. NO. 4. EXPLAINS ORIGIN OF CRUDE ART Hamilton George Tells History of Strange Carvings in Rocks on Lakes. The origin of the crude art work found on the rock walls of Sproat and Great Central lakes, and believed by some white men of scientific tendencies to be pre-historic, has been explained by Hamilton George, an intelligent young Indian who was educated at the nv'ssion. Hamilton George saw the reproductions of the strange drawings in the Pioneer News of last week, and read with much interest the speculative opimon of how they came to be there. He volunteered to enlighten the readers of this paper with a few facts and some legendary evidence in connection with the drawings, and this in brief is his story: Many years ago—no one knows how many—there lived in this vicin'ty a sort of super-human Indian named Quot-e-yat, and it believed by some that he still lives, but that his form is im iiible. He had a record for vanquishing fierce and evil monsters that would back St. George of England into heroic ins'gn'ficance. WILD CAT PROPERTY SCHEME IN VICTORIA McConnell & Taylor offer Remote and Bad Land for Sale as Choice Lots in the Town of Alberni--People Who know Situation Express Indignation. START SURVEY OF NEW ROAD Provincial Government Undertakes Work that Will Help Alberni. Copies of the Colonist and Times of Victoria which arrived here last Monday contained glaring full page announcements of a sale of Alberni town lots to be commenced on Tuesday morning. The real estate firm of McConnel & Taylor was advertised as the selling agency for Mr. West C. Nelson, and there was hot air enough all through its big-talk about opportunity knocking Quot-e-yat was a protector of his I at peoples' doors to make an ordinary people whose principal enemies were, patent medicine advertisement seem by com- the monsters of the deep. At every opportunity he gave battle to these evil thing, but was, much to his sorrow, unable to extingu'sh them all, so he conceived the idea of traveling about from place to place, and carving likenesses upon the rocks by the waters where they would be seen by Indians afloat in canoes. The pictures served as a warning that such creatures were hiding in water near by waiting for a chance to attack and devour. There are Indians now living who most carefully obey these warnings, and make no noise with their paddlss for fear that the evil inhabitants of the water will hear them and rise to destroy .them. If, by accident, some noise should be made, the occupants of the canoe will immediately rush for the shore. White men say there are no whales or other such monsters in these fresh water lakes, bnt the Indian has lived here longer, and seen more, and knows different. Buys Horses and Buggy. Harry Fitzgerald returned yesterday from Vancouver and brought with him two smart looking horses and a handsome new buggy, all of which he has added to the stock and equipment of the livery firm of Fitzgerald & Bnrke.

Box 27, - Alberni, B.C. seem like a real dead one parison. The people of this community immediately recognized the advertised real estate as the property with the big gulch through it, and which was bought by Mr. Nelson, not very long ago for about the same amount of money as' he now asks for one of the hundreds of lots he has cut it up into. The profits he is attempting to make are outrageous. The prices asked are out of all comparison with the highest asked for any other properly in this ne:ghborhocd. Six acres of property just as good can be bought for the price asked for one of these so-called lots which are 33 xl20 feet. The advertisement is a brazen nrs- representation. It is a daring wild cat scheme. The property is two miles away from the nearest deep water wharf and it is all heavy woods between. The d'stance from the old town to the Nelson site is three quarters of a mile. A large part of it is wide and deep gulch unfit for man or beast to live on. Two aged horses died of starvation on it last winter. The whole proposition to sell that Nelson property as town lots on any terms is enough to make some people laugh and others boil with indignation. There was some laughter and much indignation in both New and Old Alberni when the people recovered from the surprise occasioned by the first glare of the advertisements. Steps were at once taken to make public in Victoria the true state of affairs in order that innocent people with money might not be caught, and that the reputation of Alberni might not be injured by this rank adventure. Prominent residents of Victoria who have recently been in Alberni, and who know the ground have assured the Pioneer News that they will do what they can to acquaint the public with the facts. The Pioneer News has previously warned its readers of wild cat schemes that might be sprung. It warns them once more. Beware particularly of the man who advertises that he has had "inside information." The police always keep close watch on that sort of man when he hangs around a race track. Ladies Transact Business. At a meeting of the Ladies- Aid society of the Presbyterian church, held on Thursday, it was decided to serve afternoon tea and other refreshments during the afternoon of Fair day, Sept. 20. The sum of $30 was voted towards the manse building fund. There were present at the meeting, Mis, (Rev.) Glassford, Mrs. Riddell, Mrs. (Dr.) Morgan, Mrs. Burke, Mrs. A. L. Smith, Mrs. Wilkinson, Mrs. Forrest, Mrs. Cox, Mrs. Brand, Mrs. Gill. Rushing Business. J. J. Burke made a trip to Vancouver and return this week. He had business to do in the Terminal City, but found it so slow in comparison with Alberni that he only remained three hours. Cutting Right of Way. There are thirty-five men at work in the vicinity of Nanoose cutting right of way for the railroad into Alberni. The party is in charge of D. K. Robertson. G. H. Leslie and G. W. Spittal, of Browne's location party, came in from Cameron river this afternoon to spend Sunday in town. W. V. Morse and Robert L. Morse, who have been in town all week, will leave tommorow for Victoria. Ernest Connor who returned last Saturday from Seattle has left for the woods oh another timber cruising expedition. NOTICE.

E., started work this week to locate a line for a wagon road from Goldstream to Mill Bay along Saanich inlet, and if the proposition is proved feasible the Provincial government will have the road built. The proposed road would overcome the obstacle to traffic that now exists in the shape of Sooke mountain, and make Victoria easily accessible to many farmers who are now practically shut off from the markets of the Capital City. The new route would also be of great advantage to automobilists, as it would make an easy run all the way from Victoria to Alberni, and this would mean considerable direct benefit to this community. Good Grouse Shooting. Everybody and everybody's dog took to the woods last Monday, and the number of fat grouse in the district was somewhat reduced. Many large bags were reported on the first day, and the Pioneers News has no proof in contradiction of the various stories that have been told by the hunters. It has, however, been furnished with real evidence of the good marksmanship of Anthony Watson, of New Alberni, and M. A. Ward, proprietor of the Arlington hotel. Many hunters have arrived from the outside during the week, and all report good shooting. From Clayoquot. H..C. Brewster, M. P. P., of Clayoquot, accompanied by his wife, was a passenger on the Tees for Victoria on Thursday. Mrs. D. McDougall of Clayoquot, was a passenger on the Tees on Thursday en route to Fern-'e to join her husband who was lately appointed fire chief for that city. She was accompanied as tar as Victoria by her two sisters, Mrs. O'Leary and Miss Mc- Conell, of that city, who had been visiting her. M. Carlin In Town. M. Carlin and J. G. Billings arrived yesterday from Victoria and will leave again tomorrow. Mr. Carlin is heavily interested in Alberni farm and town property. He is satisfied that this is the future metropolis of Vancouver Island. Mrs. W. B. Garrard left by motor car yesterday for Victoria. NEMO AND / LSVE / SATURDAY, SEPT 7, 1907 ALBERNI PIONEER NEWS.

The Victoria Coloirst has taken conspicuous notice of the display of Alberni fruit that was recently sent by the local agricultural society to the Capital City. It says: The ho.vcultural society of Alberir is taking v'gorous steps to advertise to the world ihe pecu'iar advantages of that section as a fru't grow'ng district. The people of Vancouver island are well aware that fruit of all k'nds can be grown in Alberni and its environs as well as in any sect'on of the I Pacific slope, but the strangers need to be educated. Hence the actio:i of the Alberni Horticultural society wh'ch has ! sent exhibits of fruit produced for ex- j h'bition here. One of thesa exhibits is to be seen in the room", of the Tourist association and the o'.fcer in the windows of the Royal Guarantee & Trust company at j the corner of Yates and Government j streets. A feature of the exh;bits is a d:splay of magnificent Alexandra ap- pies, the equa1, in size and color'ng, to anything grown on the Pac'fic si pe. There f:re d~o several var'etks of plums, green gages and cherries, the: latier st;ll clustering thickly on the, parent branch. Several bunches of] grapes are also shown and though,, of course, not yet ripe the sizes of the bunches promise a splendid harvest of this delightful fruit a little later en Altogether the display, while limited in size, shows what can be done in the way of fru't raising round Albenr, and it attracting considerable attention. The Nana:mo Free Press also gives some prominent space to mention oi the exhibit. MR. ROFF'S LETTER. The letter contributed by Mr.William Roff to this issue of the Pioneer News is timely, and worthy of the interest of every person at present resident or interested in^this community. It accentuates the suggestions of If st week that it is not too early for the formation of a board of trade, or to take into consideration the advisability of forming a munic'pality. Of course we have not yet suffic'ent population for a munxi- pality, but it is such a very short time till we will be qualified in this respect that we should be prepared and awaiting the privilege. In the meantime a board of trade, or even a more widely representative body, could do much along the lines of preserving the common utilities and advantages that ser- round us. Break Down on Summit. After the remarkable record of fourteen thousand miles without an accident, made principally on the road between Nanaimo and Alberni, Walter Thompson met with a mishap on the summit on Saturday night last when the shaft of his automobile broke. He had as passengers Mr. and Mrs. Bender of Seattle who were on their way in to spend a vacation hunting and fishing, and realizing that it was out of the question to attempt to get started again before morning he set out on foot for town, and covered the distance of seven miles in less than an hour and a half. On arrival here he immediately dispatched a livery rig to the assistance of the belated travelers who were brought into town in comfort, ar.d quite pleased with their experience. The next day Edward Grandy, the New Alberni liveryman towed the d:sabled machine back to Nanaimo where it was saon made ready for the road again. Credit to Alberni. The new addition to the AiTngton fotel is now ready for the accommodation of guests, and M. A. Ward, the proprietor, now has a house that is a credit to his enterprise, and that will also prove a strong drawing card for Alberni with the tourist and general traveler. The hotel now contains 26 rooms, and the newiy furnished ones are as comfortab'e, ^as luxurious, and in as good taste as any to be found in any first-class hotel in British Columbia. Hot and cold water • baths are convenient to every room. ALBERNI LAND DISTRICT. ■ Distr'ct of Rupert.

TIMELY ADVICE TO PEOPLE OF ALBERNI William Roff Draws Attention to Duty of the Present Hour. Editor Alberni Pioneer News: Sir,—I have no doubt you have had many personal congratulations upon your public spiritedness and individual business courage in publishing a newspaper for Alberni. Permit me to take a more public way of expressing approval of your action, and, by means of this letter, to be the first correspondent to thank -you for taking the initiative in this great, important and responsible undertaking, and compliment you upon the success of your first efforts. I sincerely trust that the paper will be profitable to yourself, a means of immech'ate usefulness to the inhabitants of the present day, and an aid towards making Alberni an important city in the very near future. While thus writing you allow me to take advantage of an opportunity which your paper affords. I am fully conscious of my recent advent into this neighborhood, but for thirteen years I have been connected with it by family ties, and three years ago I became personally acquainted with it. I hope therefore that it will not be thought impertinent on my part if I address some remarks upon what I think ought to be done in preparatory work. It is patent to everyone that a city requires many things which can be had in its infancy at almost nominal cosl which, if they are not then secured, can only be obtained afterwards at an enormous price even if money can procure them. If it is des'rable that A'berni should grow every means should be taken now not only to render it possible but to give every facility to induce its growth. The present inhab-'tants are not only pioneers who should reap a benefit from their labors by an increase of population and consequent rise in the value of property, but they are trustees of posterity. Upon them great responsibility rests. Upon their action the future is greatly dependent. I have had frequent opportunities of meeting many of them and am greatly impressed with the soundness of judgment and good common sense prevailing among them. I have therefore the utmost confidence that they will rise to the occasion and adopt a course of public action which will not only aid materially in the growth of the city, but reflect honor to them and gain the gratitude of future generations. I must not trespass upon your space which I know is limited so I will merely mention two things which I think are press-'ng. The first is the water supply without which no city can live. This includes water for household use. Flushing of sewers. Electric l'ght. Tramways. Telephones and everything requiring power. I believe the water rights can be reserved without any cost until the time arrives to justify the creation of a municipality. » Another essential for a prosperous city is its promenades and open places for air and recreation. No location can give better opportunities for these than Alberni. The river frontage is so grand that it commands to be reserved to the public, and says to all builders and other obstructionists, ' 'Hands off.'' Yours Faithfully, WILLIAM ROFF. Alberni, Sept. 2, 1907. Will Open Drug Store. W. S. Terry, of the firm of Terry & Marett, Victoria, was .in town this week for the purpose of looking over the field for a drug store opening. He was highly pleased with the bus'ness outlook, and before he took his departure on Wednesday said he expected to have a store opened and ready for business before the end of the month. The stock will be the same in quality and variety as is carried by the firm in Victoria and this is sufficient assurance that it will meet the needs and tastes of the people of Alberni. LAND ACT.
