C, Feb. 24, 1912.\nNo. 29\nPremier Announces\nMore Railway\nBuild\ning\nLegislation, providing for the construction of 795 miles of railway, at an\nafjproximate cost of $40,000,000, in\nBritish Columbia, was brought down\nin the Provincial House by Premier\nMcBride on Tuesday afternoon of this\nweek,\nOn all this new mileage provided for,\nconstruction is to be commenced within\nthe next six months and completed by\nJuly 1915.\nThe programme follows:\nmiles\nThe Kettle River Valley from\nColdwater Junction to Hope\nThe Canadian Northern Pacific\nfrom Kamloops to Kelowna by way\nof Grand Prairie, Armstrong and\nVernon, with a branch to Lumby\nThe Pacific and Great Eastern\nRailway from Howe Sound to Fort\nGeorge by way of Pemberton Meadows   \t\nThe Canadian Northern Pacific in\nextension of its line on Vancouver\nIsland\t\n-   50\n145\n450\n150\nTotal 795\nThe plans of the Canadian Northern\non Vancouver Island embrace construction from Victoria to Hardy Bay\nand perhaps also to Quatsino. From\nVictoria to Franklin Creek on Alberni\nCanal the route has been decided on.\nIt will extend from Victoria to Sooke;\nthence northerly by way of Sooke\nRiver and Sooke Lake to Shawnigan\nLake, which it will follow along its\nwestern shore, thence it will strike\nacross country to the outlet of Cowichan\nLake, and will follow the north side of\nthe lake to its head Five miles beyond\nthe head of the lake is the 100-mile post,\nto which point the assistance granted\nto the company two years ago extended. To this point the line is under construction. From this point the route\nextends southerly down the Nitinat\nvalley to within four miles of the lake\nof that name; thence it turns north\nagain and reaches the valley of Coleman Creek, which it follows to a point\nnear its mouth, and thence runs up the\nCanal as far as Franklin Creek. Beyond this point the line has not yet been\ndefinitely located, but it will extend up\nthe Alberni valley to a point near Great\nCentral Lake; thence across the divide\nseparating that body of water from\nComox Lake; thence probably along the\nsouthern shore qf Comox Lake and\nthence through Cumberland by the most\nfeasible inland route to a point north\nof Campbell River, which is as far as\nthe aid granted this year will extend.\nFrom this point.the company will\nextend its line to \"Hardy Bay. It is\nknown that a good route extends\naround Crown Mountain and down the\nKla-anch to Nimpkish Lake. Engineers\nare now in the field examining the\ncountry.\nThat part of the Canadian Northern's\nisland system to which assistance is\ngranted this year will provide for a\nrailway that will cross the island from\nthe east to the west coast and back\nagain to the east coast. It will provide a route whereby the coal mined in\nand around Cumberland can be shipped\nto Alberni canal. It will give access to\nStrathcona Park. It will carry the\nrailway to within a few miles of the\nSeymour Narrows.\nLegalisation will also bo provided\nauthorizing the lease of the Esquimalt\n& Nanaimo railway to the Canadian\nPacific, which now owns its capital\nstock, after whh;h that railway will be\noperated as the Island Division of the\nCanadian Pacific. The company agrees\nforthwith to extend its line from a point\non the Port Alberni extension, near\nParksville, to Comox, a distance of be--\ntween 40 and 50 miles.\nThe Canadian Pacific contemplate the\nextension of this line to Hardy Bay.\nOther matters are dealt with by the\nmeasures introduced by the Premier.\nThe E. & N. Railway Company consents to the taxation of its land grant.\nThis was made free of taxation by the\nlegislation of 1884, which granted it\nto the Dominion for railway purposes.\nThe Premier has been able to persuade\nthe company to make a concession in\nthis regard, and the land will hereafter be subject to taxation at the rate\nof 1J cents per acre, which will yield an\nannual revenue of approximately $18,000\nSir Donald Mann stated in Winnipeg\nthat the Canadian Northern railway\nwould be running fifty-car wheat trains\nfrom points in Alberta to Vancouver\none year from this coming summer.\nA provincial convention of Liberals\nwill be held in Vancouver on Thursday,\nFeb. 29.\nFalls From Roof In Alberni\nE. J. Kirkland fell from the roof of\na two-storey building in Alberni during\nnoon hour on Tuesday, and, with his\nleft leg broken in two places, lay thelp-\nless in agony for fully fifteen minutes\nbefore he was able to attract assistance\nMr. Kirkland had been shingling the\nroof of a house being built' by R. W.\nHeaslip near the junction of the River\nand Beaver creek roads. His work was\nalmost complete when noon hour arrived and he remained, after the other\nworkmen had gone, to finish his job.\nHe was moving about on the top of the\nroof, which is steep, when he stepped\non a loose shingle and lost his footing.\nHe was unable to stop himself and slid\noff the building, dropping to the ground.\nHis right foot struck the soft ground,\nbut the left one struck a board and\ncaused a break below the knee. The\nboard sprang up, struck him close to\nthe thigh and caused a second fracture.\nThe injured man, being unable to\nmove, called out for help. He saw\nsome people passing at a short distance\nbut was unable to arrest their attention. He had just about given up hope\nof relief until the return of the carpenters at one o'clock' when his feeble\ncalls and gestures were noticed by Malcolm DeClute who resides in the neigh-\nhood. Mr. DeClute immediately called\nDr. Morgan who responded promptly\nand the sufferer was removed to his\nroom in the Alberni hotel. It was reported yesterday that the fractures\nwere rapidly mending.\nLooks Like Harmouy.\nOn the understanding that Victoria is\nnot to be specialized in the campaign\nfor railway connection with the mainland by means of a bridge over Seymour\nNarrows the energies of Port Alberni\nwill be contributed to the cause.\nAt the regular monthly meeting of\nthe Board of Trade, held on Monday\nnight of this week, a letter from W. J.\nDowler. city clerk of Victoria, was\nread. It was the same in substance as\nthe one addressed to the editor of the\nPioneer News and published with comment in the issue of Feb. 10. The\npresident of the board was therein advised that he had been appointed on a\ncommittee to boost the bridge proposition. The board was not furnished with\na copy of the first letter from Mr. Dowler on the question which was objectionable to the editor of the Pioneer News\nbecause it was an apparent attempt to\nto commit representative people of\nvarious places on Vancouver island to\nsupport of a Victoria scheme. The\nwhole matter having been explained\nsatisfactorily so far it was moved by R.\nJ. Burde, and seconded by C. Cree, that\nthe president be authorized to act on\nthe committee as mentioned. This was\ncarried unanimously.\nLocal   News  In Brief\nThe time has come;\nYes, this is Spring.\nThe poet bum\nWant's space to sing.\nSWIFT.\nM.

Before leaving\nCalgary Mr. Carson was tempted to\nbuy some of the Bick lots, but his disappointment on seeing them was overcome\nby the opportunities in general which\nhe saw in Port Alberni.

BURDE.\nEditor.\nSubscription Rate,     -    $2.00 per year\nPort Alberni, B. C, Feb. 24,   1912.\ni\nANNOUNCEMENT.\nThe name of this publication will be\nchanged, with the next issue, Saturday,\nMarch 2, 1912, from Alberni Pioneer\nNews to Port Alberni News. There\nwill be no change in ownership, location\nor policy of the paper, business being\ncontinued by the same publisher, R. J.\nBurde, at the same old stand, Strathern\nstreet, between Second and Third avenue. Port Alberni.\nThe reason for the change is that the\nname \"Alberni,\" which was meant to\nhave a district significance, causes confusion as to the location of the newspaper, people who glance only at the\ntitle assuming that it is published in\nthe town of Alberni. The \"Pioneer\"\nis dropped from the title for economy's\nsake. The Pioneer days are just about\ngone.\nNext week the paper will be enlarged\nin size and scope as a purveyor of news.\nOther contemplated improvements will\ntake place within the next few weeks,\nor just as soon as new machinery and\ntype, some of which is already on the\nground, and the rest in transit, can be\ngot into running order.\nProfit In Blasting Now.\nThis is not an advertisement for\nstump blasters.\nIt is a bit of timely advice that can\nbe used with profit by owners of uncleared lots in Port Alberni.\nAs buildings keep popping up on the\ntownsite the business of lot clearing,\nentailing the use of dynamite and fire,\nbecomes more dangerous, and necessitates more precautions. Blowing a\nstump at a reasonable distance from a\nbuilding is a simple matter and is inexpensive in comparison with the same\nwork when free blasting cannot be indulged in without danger to near-by\nproperty. One of the first by-laws of\nthe new city council will necessarily\nprescribe restrictions that will result in\nan increased cost of clearing.\nThe owner naturally adds the cost of\nclearing to the value of his lot.\nIf the clearing be done when it is safe\nand easy, double the value of present\ncost may be added when restrictions\nare in force.\nColonist Not On List.\nWith a view to preventing credit\nfrom going where it does not belong\nthe Pioneer News again takes exception\nto the statement of the editorial\nwriter of the Colonist that his-paper\n\"has done more to make the advantages of Barclay sound, Port Alberni,\nand the surrounding country, known\nthan all other agencies combined.\" A\ncareful search of the enquires that\nhave reached the Port Alberni board of\ntrade from various parts of the world\ndoes not reveal a single mention of the\nColonist as a source of information that\ncaused the interest. Enquiries have\nbeen elicited, and results obtained,\nthrough the medium of the publications\nof the Provincial government, the Canadian Pacific Railway company, the\nboard of trade itself; Leonard Frank,\nthe Pioneer News, and various newspapers in which  descriptive  articles,\nor the advertisement of the Alberni\nLand Company and other real estate\nconcerns, have appeared. Most of the\nenquiries that have materialized into\nany advantage to the town came from\nthe Prairie provinces where the Colonist is but little known.\nLiberal newspapers have announced\nthat the Provincial general elections\nwill be held on or about April Sth next,\nand John Oliver, leader of the party,\nhas declared himself ready for the fray.\nAccording to the undisputed evidence of\nJohn Jardine, Mr. Oliver made ready\nfor the last fray by declaring privately\n\"Dick has us beaten to death,\" and\nthen, after stretching his round form\nas flat as he could on the floor, proceeding, with the assistance of a paint pot,\na brush, and a map, to make a railway\npolicy of his own. The main advantage\nof John's policy was that all hills were\neffaced and engineering difficulties\ndone away with by simply drawing\nstraight lines from one given point to\nanother.\nSome strange conceptions of trades\nunionism have got into the heads of\nsome wise men since the McNamara\ncase in Los Angeles. A prosecuting\nattorney in the Samuel Gomper's con-\ntempt-of-court case in Washington endeavored for some time to make a\nwitness, Frank Morrison, a printer,\nadmit that the oath of allegiance to the\nInternational Typographical union superceded the individual's allegiance to\neither the state or his religious belief,\nand an emphatic denial did not seem to\nsatisfy the inquisitor. The Typographical unionist is no more bound in this\nrespect than he is to forsake his father,\nhis mother, his brother, his sister, or\nhis wife and family.\nThe daily newspapers have recently\nprinted a lot of letters and pictures\nabout the granting of the freedom of\nthe City of.London to Earl Grey. There\nlived in Port Alberni, not long ago, a\nmodest man named Harry Blake, who\nonce had the same honorable distinction\nconferred upon him. He was employed\nas a clerk in A. E. Waterhouse & Co.'s\ngeneral store, and played the organ in\nSt. Albafr's church. Mr. Blake is now\nemployed in a clerical capacity by the\nB. C. Electric Railway company in\nVictoria.\nArrangements are being made to\nbring a comedy show to the Port Alberni theater. This show will be given by\na professional theatrical company. John\nOliver's date will be announced later.\nOpening\nJewelry Store\nIn Port Alberni.\nF.

It was taken to England to be\nused as a flagstaff. It was the tallest\npole that had ever been landed in the\nold country up to that time, and, probably, yet holds the record.\nCyrus Sears, master of the Pocahontas, who is now a retired resident of\nBaltimore, Md., in a letter to Customs\nCollector Newbury of Victoria, tells of\nhis voyage to Port Alberni, and interesting incidents of the visit, as follows:\nDear Sir.\u2014A short time ago, while\nreading an article in-a magazine regarding Vancouver Island and its resources, mention was made of the port\nof Alberni. The writer desires to\nmake a statement of his experiences at\nthe port of Alberni 50 years ago-\u20141861-\n1862\u2014which may be of interest to you,\nas a bit of ancient history, Alberni at\nthat time being almost a wilderness and\nan unknown part to the commerce of\nthe world.\nIn 1861. the ship Pocahontas, under\nmy command, was lying in the harbor\nof San Francisco. I was approached by\nCaptain Stamp of Alberni, who offered\na charter to load a cargo of spars from\nAlberni to London, England. After the\nusual preliminaries were gone over the\ncharter was concluded and the ship\nmade ready by cutting bow lumber\nports, etc. It was during the month of\nOctober, I think, when we sailed from\nSan Francisco. The port being unknown, no charter had been published,\nalthough a survey had been made that\nsummer. Captain Stamp kindly furnished me with a chart, it being the\nfirst chart used by the first merchant\nship entering the port of Alberni to load\na cargo. After a pleasant passage we\narrived off Cape Barclay late one after-\n| noon. Mr. Banfield, the Indian agent,\nwas to be on hand to pilot the ship\nup the Sound. Seeing nothing of him,\nand the. tide being at the ebb, I concluded to haul off shore for the night,\nand in the morning proceeded toward\nthe entrance of the Sound. Picking up\nMr. Banfield, the pilot, we sailed up the\nSound as far as the first anchorage, a\ni,small sandy spot near the right hand\nside of the Sound, with hardly room for\nthe ship to swing at her anchors.\nThe pilot leaving, I was obliged to depend upon myself and the chart. The\nfollowing day we got under way on the\nflood tide and by backing and filling, proceeded up the Sound. The wind being\nbaffling as we came down the Sound\nand no anchorage being in sight, we\nmade a hawser fast to a tree, dropped\n- a hedge anchor out in the channel in\n72 fathoms of water, and swung alongside the precipitous bank, where, after\nputting out fenders, we lay very safe.\nWhile lying there the ship was being\npainted, and one of the crew painted\nthe ship's name, \"Pocahontas,\" on the\nrock. It is now known as \"Pocahontas\nRock,\" and is so inscribed on the published chart of the Sound.\nThe following day, the-wind proving\nfavorable, we proceeded up to Alberni,\nanchoring in 7 fathoms of water, which\nwas our loading berth.\nAlberni at that time consisted of a\nstore, shipyard (where a vessel was in\nprocess of building), a blacksmith shop.\na sawmill, lodging house and a few\nother buildings of the plainest kind.\nThe Indians were very much excited\nat the appearance of the ship, and came\n. alongside in their canoes. Coming on\nboard and lying down they measured\nthe length of the deck, by their own\nlength, from stem to stern. They then\nmeasured the outside length by their\ncanoes. With exclamations of astonishment they pronounced her a \" hi you\ncanoe.\"\nCaptain Stamp came on board, and\ngave us a hearty welcome, performing\nhis duties as collector of the port of\nAlberni.   A few days after our arrival\nthe American ship Visula arrived to\nload a cargo for Valparaiso, followed by\nthe American ship Thomas A. Stone,\nalso to load for Valparaiso.\nThe next arrival Was an English barque\nto load for Australia. Altogether making quite a busy fleet. .\nOur cargo, consisting of very large\nspars for tho English and French navies,\ncame alongside in rafts and was cut\nfrom a large grove of towering trees\nlocated on the left bank of a creek\nwhich emptied into the Sound about a\nmile or more above the so-called village.\nCaptain Stamp was an admirable host,\nlodged as he was in a room above the\nstore. He was collector of the port,\njustice of the peace, governor and all\nthe authority needed within the domain\nof Alberni.\nThe vessel that was being built at\nthat place was a schooner of about 200\ntons burden, intended for trade to the\nvarious ports around the island and the\nUnited States. She was launched just\nbefore we sailed.\nDuring that winter the canal was\nfrozen over for the first time within\nthe memory of the oldest Indians. The\nice delayed the loading of the vessels\nfor some weeks although they were finally loaded and sailed away for their\ndestined ports, leaving us alone.\nIt had been Captain Stamp's desire to\nsend to England the longest spar to be\nfound suitable for a flagstaff. One was\nfinally found, trimmed arid brought\nalongside, which measured 180 feet\nlong, 24 inches at the butt, 11 inches at\nthe tip. This spar had to be cut to\n176 feet 3 inches to fit the ship and was\nthe last spar taken on board. It was\nthe first to come out in West India\ndocks in .London and was the largest\nspar that had ever been carried to\nGreat Britain. It was erected at Frog-\nmore. Having completed our loading\nwe sailed about the last of January,,\n1862. I have written this from memory\n\u2014if there are any discrepancies please\noverlook them, but in the main it is\ntrue.\nCYRUS SEARS,\nMaster Ship Pocahontas,\nof Boston, 1861-62.\n424 East Lafayette Av., Baltimore, Md\nAll Kinds of Painting\nPaper Hanging,\nInterior Decorating.\nTOM COSTEN,\nPORT ALBERNI.\nSynopsis of Coal Mining\nRegulations.\nCOAL mining: rights of the Dominion, in Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Alberta, the Yukon\nTerritory, the North-west Territories and in a\nportion of the Province of BritisfrColumbia. may\nbe leased for a term of twenty-one years at an annual rental of $1 dollar an acre.
