SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 1913 $3 PER ANNUM tm OW LAUGHS AI Tl INJUNCTION [t is now rumored that so far the Grand Trunk Pacific side ; [ the controversy is concerned t!ie injunction, placed by Ross & Barw original owners of 1'ort George townsite, on grading ope.r- tions on tlic Nechaco waterfront through their property on Hamrnond street is as good as removed. - Engineers in the employ of the railway company have decided, according to this report, that it is quite feasible ior the railway line to curve out instead of in at that particular point, and so, instead of cutting away the land, they wiH Bimply fill in the grade on the river side and rip-rap. The process of rip-rapping is one well known to railroad build ers, and consists in fortifying the sides of a gravel enbankment with rock, to prevent the danger of sliding o washing away. Rock will be bought in fom Willow river, and a solid wall built on the outside of the grade to protect it from the operation of the Nechaco current. The work, it is understood, will be undertaken either by the Grand Trunk Pacific direct or by the Sims-Carey Construction Company, and will be carried on coincident with track laying. Business men who have interests along Hammond street state that they will be glad to see next spring a recurrence of the brisk business in that neighorhood that last summer witnesed.

Capetown, Nov. 20.—(Special.) —The East Indian residents of Natal, 150,000 in number, have declared a general strike in opposition to the polltax of $15 a head and the regulation forbidding them to travel from one South African state to another. Two thousand Hindus were arrested when trying to pass from the Transvaal to Natal to take part in the demonstration. The strike is accompanied by riots and the burning of sugar plantations. The affair is causing anxiety on the part of the British government lest it give rise to trouble in India. A WORD OF THANKS. The management of the Herald beg to extend cordial thanks to the people of South Fort George for the hearty support this newspaper has received in its first issue under their supervision. In assuming control of this newspaper at a few days' notice the present management have met with great difficulties. Despite these handicaps the Herald appears today with eight pages containing a volume of advertising that well proves the progressive business spirit of this town. It takes a little time to get into the stride, but we can safely promise readers of the Herald a clean, newsy,- up-to-date sheet, one that South Fort George will be proud of. In return for this public service the Herald knows that it will receive a liberal share of patronage from the business men of the town and district. There are many newspapers that profess to be devoted to the advancement of Northern British Columbia. There are two newspapers that claim the progress of the Fort George district as the object nearest their hearts. But this is the South Fort George newspaper. Remember that.

CARIBOO ROAD IN BJOJONDITION Two Big Slides, One at Mud Hill and One at 103-Mile Hill Quesnel, Nov. 15.—The condition of the Cariboo road is worse at present than it has been at any time this season. There are two big slides on it now, one at the 103-Mile hill in addition to the one at Mud hill. All kinds of vehicles have been tied up, and in fact the road is almost impassible. The driver of ope car which arrived here last week states that one day he only made two and a half miles. His machine would only nicely get out of one rut before it would slide into another, and some of them were two feet deep. The recent snow storms, which melted as fast as they fell, have not improved matters for the teamsters. NO CABINET CHANGES Report Sent Out From Ottawa As to Minister of Justice is Unfounded Ottawa, Nov. 5—The Evening Journal says: The story sent out regarding impending changes iu the cabinet, involving the appointment of Hon. C. J. Doherty to the chief justiceship of the supreme court to be succeeded as minister of justice by Hon. Arthur Meighen, with other shuffles in the cabinet i9 wholly without foundation. The story was given an absolute denial at the office of the acting-premier, Hon. Mr. G. E. Foster, this rrtorning.' No cabinet changes are under comtemplation. The story is not a new one, and is based on the rumor circulated some time ago that Sir Charles Fitzpatrick, chief justice of the supreme court, would be given a permanent seat upon the judicial committee of the Imperial privy council, and would be succeeded in the supreme court by Mr. Doherty.

Robartsffl livelj Tete once^^^^ ing westwan camp, three nine , • Jaune Cache, is inhabited principally by men doing station work. Tete Jaune Cache was ne most picturesque railway cam in western Canada. The provincial police of British Columbia insisted upon law and order and they inforced the regulations to] the'letter. The Cache, which received its name by being the base of supplies for a tow-haired explorer known as Jasper, who made friends with the Indians in the Yellowhead 1'ass country, long before the lirst invasion by white engineer.-, a half century ago, is the head of navigation on the Fraser river. All freight, building supplies, provisions and machinery for Fort George and toints farth r west must be trans- I ipped there and taken down the f er, either by scow, steamer, j I gasoline-driven boats. The scows are built : lumber, the con being comparatively low. They are floated to Fort George, where they are un-' loaded and sold at an average of $20 each. The lumber is used by homesteaders and others. Three steamboats, two of which are owned by Foley Bros., Welch & Stewart, and thc other by the B, C. Express Company, carry a large portion of the freight that is sent down, while several privately-owned gasoline boats alsi do a profitable business ' Ine company, whose passei gei accommodations rival that oi tin- big ocean liners in comfort, make- sufficient profits yearly to pay ior its boats in the first year of operation. The cost of transporting freight from the Cache to Fort George is $70 a ton. When the trains are open ti ; through to Fort George fr mi Edmonton the shipping, wliich is the only reason for the existence of Tete Jaune Cache, will disappear, Already the contractors are moving farther west, and as their business comprises about three-fourths of that done in tin- town, the change will not be long in coming.

One 0f tngs, however d^^r»IIWCTni6^^C|TOWTI*BUlKLEYVALUY, m _m The Grand Trunk Pacific Railway Company's sale of lots in Prince George, the Railway's second freight and passenger division headquarters in British Columbia, just come to a close at Vancouver and Edmonton, brought Two Million Dollars. In the words of the Vancouver Province, of September 20, this sale "set the highest record for an auction sale on the Coast and, it is believed, the highest sale of its kind anv- where." The highest price paid for a double corner in this Grand Trunk Pacific town was $14,200. This double corner is only a few blocks from the railway station but over a mile and a quarter from the nearest settlement. The big prices for lots were paid for property near the station, near the proposed improvements by the railway company, but far from the nearest settlement, This fact establishes conclusively that people have confidence in Grand Trunk Pacific towns; that these towns, planned by the railway company, will grow and so enhance property values in them, and that the first values in these new towns are created by the improvements planned for them by the railway company.* The sale proved another significant fact and that is that people, who know the conditions, are willing to pay $14,200 for a lot in a new town, a town yet to be built simply on the assurance of the railway company that the town is to be a freight and passenger division headquarters with Prince George I have a large Hat of lots all over the town- site among which are some exceptionally good buys.

The first is Smithers, half-way between Prince George and Prince Rupert, named after the highest official of the railway, Mr. Alfred Waldron Smithers, Chairman of its Board of Directors. Smithers is the only freight and passenger division point on the main line of the Grand Trunk Pacific between its Pacific Coast terminus and Prince George. Smithers, like Prince George, is the railway company's townsite. Smithers is the dominating centre of the rick Bulkley Valley, with some 300,000 acres of fertile agricultural land, the first large agricultural area on the railway East of Prince Rupert. It is in the heart of a rich mineral belt. It is surrounded by unlimited waterpower. The same opportunity that made people invest Two Million Dollars in two short three-day sales in lots at Prince George, is now offered you by thc railway company at Smithers. Lots in Smithers are not being sold at auction. They have been priced low by the railway company to insure rapid settlement and development. Prices range from $100 to $500 for single lots and from $250 to $1200 for double corners. Where the opportunity at Prince George took thousands, a similar opportunity at Smithers can be had with as many hundreds. The time to take advantage is now.

The solicitors acting for the legatees of Holzer's father believe that Holzer is working on a construction gang near Edmonton, Their client is worth almost $100,000, and they cannot find him. Yesterday the Royal Northwest Mounted Police were asked to try and locate him. He is about 49 years of age, weighs 145 lbs., has a dark complexion, snapping dark eyes, slightly stooping shoulders, and has a peculiar hitch in his walk. He is descrbed as beng fond of card playng, and he left Minnesota about eight years ago for the Northwest.
