O. Wiggins, of the local realty firm of Wesley & Wiggins, left on the last stage for the coast where he will spend some time on business matters. Samuel A. McCoy, general superintendent of thc Simms & Carey Construction Company, arrived here this week from up-river, accompanied by R. M. Symington and other contractors. The representative of Captain Rogers, of the Rogers Construction Company, formerly the Lund Rogers Construction Co., was another visitor from up river, He is straightening out the affairs of the company brought about by the retirement of Mr. Lund. Mr. and MrB. Chas E. McElroy arrived today from Ashcroft on the stage. Mrs. McElroy has been spending some months in New York. A meeting of the Baseball Club will he held in the Northern Lumber Company's store next Tuesday evening to make arrangements for the coming season. Harry Thrasher and Walter Flynn returned this week from a trip up the Fraser as far as Tonequah. They report considerable activity tir-the upper construction camps. Scores of teams are now freighting supplies from the steel-end to Grand Canyon. The Friday night dances being given by J. Senior in Birch's hall are being well attended. Last night's dance was a particularly enjoyable one, Dan McFee, the well known Vancouver shipbuilder, who has already designed and built three steambaats for service in these waters, arrived on the last stage to build a boat for the Natural Resources Security Co., on the Nechaco River. We would suggeot that the craft be christened the "Ham and." The ice carnival, adyertised to take 'ilace laBt night, was cancelled, owing to the snow fall, which continued throughout the night. The skatirg committee announce that a "sheet-and-pillowslip" dance will be held on April the first in the theatre, 't'his event will close the skating soason. Sten Lund, a well known contractor, who was the first railroad builder to visit this place, is now general manager of the Reinforced Brickwork Company Ltd., of Winnipeg. Al. White and other freighters arrived from Quesnel this week with heavy loads of merchandise. The roads are in excellent condition for freighting. At Quesnel there is now an ice bridge across the Fraser. Tommy Chetwynd is still in England. He has not yet announced the date of his return here. Mr. Chetwynd likes England, but he loves South Fort George with an undying affection so we may expect him back with the birds in the spring. A large party of workmen from the up-river construction camps arrived in town last evening. Sin^e the fire which destroyed their beautiful home and contents in Central Fort George last Saturday, Mr While walking over the trail from Barkerville to Sugar Creek, James Smith dropped dead from heart trouble. Winter has al last relinquished its icy grip upon the north. We believe that the present thaw marks the commencement of tbe break-up. Wc may expect some desultory cold snaps this month, but the harshness of winter is now behind us and the infinite possibilities of summer, the dawn of a new era for the people of this community, looms ahead. Says the Prince Rupert News: The end of steel westward is about 125 miles east of Fort George and eastward 225 miles west of the same point. This leaves a gap of about 350 miles separating Prince Rupert from Winnipeg and the east, On this 350 The act brought down recently by the attorney-general to amend the Liquor Licence Act possesses several features of interest. The most important change of nil is that which relates to Sunday closing and prohibitive hours. Under the old act saloons and bars had to be closed up at 11 o'clock on Saturday evenings and were not allowed to open again until Monday morning at five. Under the new act the regulations are even moro stringent. All places where liquor is vended are to be closed at ten o'clock on Saturday nights and are not allowed to open again until seven o'clock on Monday morning. Also thc daily prohibitive hours are extended. Whereas under the old act saloons and bars were required to close their doors at Midnight on each week day except Saturday, under the new order of things they are required to close at eleven o'clock and cannot open again until seven o'clock in the morning.

The road superintendent's convention concluded its session for the QIJESNEL-TETE JAUNE ROUTE PROPOSED Dr. J. Callahan, one of the members for this district, believes that an ideal route has been discovered in his country for a road which will connect Quesnel and Tete Jaune Cache, and so form a link of the East and West Canadian highway. A preliminary survey shows that it would be possible to run this from no breach of the statute is taking place during prohibited hours in the interior of any bar or saloon, or anv place where liquor is vended, a full view of the interior of the barroom in any licensed premises, or of the room where liquor is usually sold in any wholesale premises, is not to be obstructed by means of screens, shades, blinds or frosted, ground or colored glass windows. There is another condition in the same important section which forbids more than one bar to be kept in any premises whereof a licence to sell liquor by retail is granted. * CORRESPONDENCE present year last week. At the ses" [ Barkervilie via Bear Lake to the the day of termination the | , Editor: Fort George Herald, Dear Sir:—My attention has just been drawn to the article on the front page of The Herald of January 18th. under the heading "Edmonton Will not Awake to Her Opportunities. Wholesalers and Business Men of Alberta Capital Evidently Care Nothing for trade Control of District at their Doors. I wish to state that your article appears to have been written under a total misapprehension as to the situation, and affords a wholly erroneous Impression as to the attitude of Edmonton wholesalers In regard to trade with Fort George. I am in a position to know that many Edmonton houses have been keenly alive to the value of that trade, and have been closely watching the development of transportation facilities which would render it possible to handle the business from Edmonton. More than a year ago, the Edmonton Board of Trade brought strong pressure to bear on the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway to obtain assurance that shipments would be carried over the newly laid rails of that company when steel reached the Fraser River, in order to permit Edmonton houses to handle Fort George business in 1912. Edmonton shippers were so much in earnest in this that a group of wholesalers had arranged to provide storage at Tete Jaune, send a man there to look after shipments and relieve tho railway of all responsibility for the safe arrival of sion on . ^^^ ^^^^^^ Chairman, W. W. Foster, deputy minister of public works, introduced J. A. Fraser, M. P. P. for this district. Rererring to R. Rutherford's paper on "Winter Roads," Mr. Fraser pointed to the fact tbatlthe Pacific Great Eastern railway na3 just recently changed its course so as to win almost parallel with the main Cariboo road, which would mean that this road would have an amount of traffic passing over it which it had never experienced ln its history. In consequence of this, the standardizing of track-widths and wagon tyres junction of the Goat River and the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway, about seventy miles to the wostward of Tete Jaune Cache, a distance of about seventy-two miles. A wagon road already exists for fourteen out of the nineteen miles between Barkerville and Bear Lake, and an old paok trail extends down the Goat river. On this line the BUmmit is comparatively low, only 3710 feet above sea level. From Bear Lake is a chain of navigable lakes and rivers, Sandy Lake, Long Lake, Swamp River, Issacs Lake and Indian Pont Lake for a was of great importance, as suggest-1 ""■"• — ed by Mr. Rutherford, and, although |d,stance of 15° mlle8' which would he knew there would be some oppos- only entail ,our short PortageB, and ition from some road-users on the tne *<*™n, Dr' Callanan states, Is point of expense entailed in equiping extroadinarily beautiful.

When The Herald published an article decrying the inactivity of Edmonton interests with respect to the establishment of trade relations with this district it certainly started something. We have already dwelt at some length in these columns upon the subject, b it we are yet receiving communications from individuals and organizations in Alberta's capital voicing protest against the views we expressed. Whilst the article referred to may have appeared rather acrimonious, The Herald is pleased to note that it had, and is having, the precise effect calculated by the writer— the stirring up in Edmonton of an organized effort to obtain the trade of this section, to our mutual advantage, and the proper announcement of these efforts here amongst those interested. We received this week a communication from the president of the Edmonton Board of Trade. This communication sets forth at hngth the past action of Edmonton wholesalers taken to promote the anticipated commercial relations of Edmonton and this section of the northern interior of British Columbia. There is nothing new conveyed to us in the communication referred to. The Edmonton Board of Trade have recorded events of which we have been fully cognizant. Events barren of result and poorly conceived, to our way of thinking. They contented themselves with endeavoring to secure shipment of Edmonton goods over the incompleted line of the Grand Trunk Pacific railway to the head of navigation in 1912. This arrangement did not materialize because circumstances made it an impossible proposition. We will hasten past any reference to the representations made to Edmonton by an agent of a notorious townsite concern, masquerading as a representative of a public body, which, at no time, has represented the main business element of this section. Such incidents have not helped in the past to clear the atmosphere. On December 12th last, the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway company issued, at Winnipeg, a special freight tariff on general merchandise between Edmonton, Alta,, and Grand Trunk Pacific railway stations ending at Tete Jaune, the head of navigation on the Praser river, The rates on the different classes of merchandise follow: Botween Classes—Cents per 100 pounds EDMONTON, Alta. 1 | 2 | 3. | 4 | 5 I 6 | 7 I 8 | 9 I 10 und TETE JAUNE 115 | 96 I 76 I 53 I 62 | 44 | 32 1 44 1 44 1 26 Regarding the classification, which requires reference to the tariff information, an idea may be gained regarding this from the statement that mixed groceries in carload lots travel as fifth-class freight for 52 cents a hundred. Tiie G, T. P. are erecting freight sheds for storage and forwarding at the head of navigation. The steamboats will carry freight from these freight sheds to this place for a rate of 3 cents per pound, or a fraction under that rate, There will be running between these points during the coming season the steamers Chilcotin, B. C. Express and Quesnel, the two former capable of carrying 100 tons and the latter 50 tons. These boats will average about seven days for the round trip, or roughly will be able to handle, in favorable stages of water, about 250 tons a week. Added to this fleet are other smaller boats, and Mr. J. W. Stewart informed The Herald here last week that his big sternwheelers, the Operator and Conveyor, would handle all the freight they could obtain to this point. This information is of interest to people here. We are obtaining such information as we may. The Edmonton Board of Trade and the Edmonton business men who have been on the track of our business have hitherto confined themselves to a rather futile effort to fashion a trade route into these parts for their own ends (Continued on Page 5.) Responsible business men in the West are awakening to the dangers which beset their communities through the real estate sharp. At a recent annual meeting of the Edmonton Board of Trade, the retiring president, Mr. H. Milton Martin, devoted a considerable portion of his address to this phase of the situation. He pointed out that those who had, and who are still giving the West a black eye through their subdivision schemes, are men of no reputation in the centres they claim to represent. The foreign dealer in Canadian lands is the curse of the country, and every time they "put one over," thriving centres, such as Edmonton, suffer. Mr. Martin, together with many other Westerners, favors legislation of the "blue sky" order; he would, for one thing, make it necessary to have a subdivision improved to the extent at least of having streets graded and good roadways built to it before it could be put on the market. Such legislation would unquestionably go a long way toward clearing the atmosphere, but unless it was made retroactive, the choice selection of subdivision "skin games" that are now on the market, both in this country and in Europe, would not be called upon to halt iu their criminal career. The courts of the country appear to se the only method of bringing these subdivides to their senses, and at the same time give back to the foolish ones, by process of law, the money they parted with at the call of the land liar, There are now several cases of this character in the courts, both in Ontario and Quebec,, and no doubt many more will follow when the owners of this outside subdivision stuff awake to th; fact that their money has gone into the pockets of the land agent without even the shadow of a chance of an equitable return. If some two years ago the western provinces had initiated, some "blue sky" legislation, they would not today be suffering from the sins of these fakirs, and the public in general would have saved a vast sum of money, which would have gone into legitimate investment in Canadian lands and Canadian investments.- Toronto Saturday Night.

This is his.-first visit to a city. Everything is new to him. "Modern as Kdmonton is in all things," he said, "I would rather be back on the homestead in the Burnt River district, where I have passed the last 23 years. Mrs. McAllister is a sister of the Rt. Rev. J. 0. Brick, a missionary of thc Anglican church in the Peace. I have learned to love the wilderness as a mother does her first-born. I have lived there most of my life. I belong there.

P * Dewar it was decided to sent a party through to Kort (leorge, at the time o[ the second annual Edmon business men's trip in July last. A party of about twelve were prepared to leave the main party at Fitzhugh and go through to Fort George. The Grand Trunk Pacific could give no assurance of rail transportation, but the party was prepared to take chances on flat cars and construction trains, and to walk the last few miles, which probably would haye been necessary. But again, notwithstanding Mr. Dewar's urgent invitation, and assurances that if there was no regular service a special boat to the Canyon could be arranged, the party were prepared to take chances, after getting to Tete Jaune, of finding some means of getting down to thc Canyon; there was no use going that far in the face of great uncertainty as to means of transportation below the Canyon. Not to make this communication of inordinate length, I will quote two telegrams exchanged at this time between Fort George and Mr. F. T. Fisher, Secretary of the Edmonton Board of Trade:— Edmonton, July 15th., 1912. B. C. Express Company Fort George. Is your boat running to Canyon and what schedule'' Party Edmonton business men will arrive Fitzhugh night twenty seventh. Eight or ten anxious to go through to Fort George. See Dewar. "F. T. Fisher." Fisher. Board of Trade. Edmonton. Wire to B. C. ExDress received. Boat not running on regular schedule to Canyon. Tf you can come down to canyon on Foley Welch boat, in all probability B. X. or Chilcotin can meet party and bring to Fort George, depend on Btage of water, wire probable arrival canyon. "F, N. Dewar." Many other communications had Previously been exchanged; but the above will indicate clearly, I think, that Edmonton shippers were anxious to go through to Fort George, and that their failure to do so was not through lack of Interest. I do not know what wholesalers Mr. A. K. Bourchier interviewed in Edmonton; but I do know that he did not approach the officials of the Board of Trade or the Edmonton Jobbers' Association. 1 can further say that the largest hardware house in Kdmonton has had a representative in Fort George territory for some months regularly soliciting business and inviting correspondence from Fort George merchants.

The first town of importance to be established in Central British Columbia on the Main line of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway. By those who are in close touch with the true conditions, Willow River is regarded as being a town of future great importance in the heart of "Canada's Inland Empire." This fact, plus the fact that Willow River will be an important lumbering, mining and agricultural centre, makes property in this new town desirable from either a business or investment standpoint. Willow River property has been purchased by merchants and investors throughout Canada and United States. Although the town was only established October 16th, 1913, a number of lota have been resold at decided profits, while other purchasers refuse to sell at even twice the prices paid. The business portion only of Willow River is now on the market—the survey of the residence portion has recently been completed and this portion of the town will be placed on the market in the near future. There are a limited number of lots available in the business portion at the original prices. Easy Terms. No Interest. Clear and perfect title direct from the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway. Thc Original and Official Townsite of Willow River is located on Lot 785; Station Site approved by the Board of Railway Commissioners March 26th, 1912, Order No. 16179. REMEMBER THAT.
