No. 29 Board of Trade Applies For Reserve on China Creek The Port Alberni board of trade has decided that the natural and the best source of water supply for the town is China creek, and an effort will be made to induce the Provincial government to place a reserve of 300 miners inches on the stream for future municipal purposes. The question was brought up at the regular monthly meeting of the board last Monday night by W. C. Kurtz, who was associated with the people who secured gold dredging leases on the creek about a year ago. Mr. Kurtz pointed out that the dredging organization could have, by paying the required fee, obtained a water record they applied for and thus tied up the creek and deprived the town of the use of the water for domestic purposes. As matters stood the same condition could arise at any time, and it was up to the people to safeguard the water for themselves. A. Carmichael, local agent of the Alberni Land company, said he had endeavored to induce the Land company to provide a waterworks system for the town, believing that it would be in the best interests of the company to have this done as early as possible. In this connection he had investigated the whole question of water supply and had arrived at the conclusion that it must come from China creek. He agreed with Mr. Kurtz that unless the people took some action to safeguard themselves there was a chance of the water being recorded for mining or other pur-; poses in which event the supply would be lost to the town. Attention was called to the fact that a reserve of 300 miners inches for municipal purposes had already been granted on Stamps river, but this, it was pointed out, had been granted when the two towns and the district were acting as a whole. It was the general opinion that while the Stamps river supply might be suitable for the old town there was not enough head for satisfactory service in the new town, and in addition to this the expense of bringing water from Stamps river to Port Alberni would be much greater than that of bringing it from China creek. A resolution, moved by A. D. Cooper, and seconded by R. H. Wood, instructing the secretary to apply, in the name of the board, to the Provincial government for a reserve for future munic.'pal purposes of 300 miners inches, or its equivalent in cubic feet per second, was carried unanimously.

McGaffey, secretary of the Vancouver Island Development League at Victoria, asking for photo- graphs showing the resources of Port' Alberni and district, was read. Mr. McGaffey explained that he was in receipt of a great many letters from magazines, railroad companies, steamship companies, newspapers, periodicals and others requesting photographs of the various resources, conditions and industries of Vancouver Island, and that these could be used to very great advantage to the districts from which they came. The president and A. Carmichael were appointed a committee to confer with the Alberni board and arrange for a collection of pictures to be sent. Mr. Carmichael announced that as a result of the advertising, which the board had done in the Apple Show issue of the Vancouver World his firm had received letters from Japan and the West Indies enquiring about opportunities for settlers. Reserve Pro'e;ted. H. C. Rayson, deputy water commissioner, who had been written to in regard to the application of the Alberni Power company for a water record on tention of starting work as soon as possible. The letter was ordered to be filed. Incorporation. Messrs. Carmichael, Cooper and Blandy reported for the special committee on municipal incorporation. Full | information as to the conditions and possibilities had been sent to the Land company in England, and a reply m'ght be expected at the next regular meeting of the board. Telephone Trouble. Mr. Carmichael referred to the plan on which the telephone poles were being placed on the streets and alleyways of the town, and read correspondence to show that it was the same as was followed in the larger c'.ties on the coast. Robert DeBeaux objected to the plan whether it came from Seattle, Vancouver, Victoria or anywhere else. He thought a Siwash would have shown more intelligence in the placing of poles in his ne:ghborhood. The secretary stated that it had been reported on good authority that the telephone company meant to install an antiquated system of calls, that subscribers would have to do the old-time trick of turning a crank, and ringing a bell, to get the central office. This was news to a number of members of the board who have s;gned contracts with the company, and it was not taken with any relish. It was forthwith moved by Mr. Kurtz, and seconded by Mr. Cooper, that, the secretary advise the telephone company that the people of Port Alberni wanted the latest system or none at all. Those present at the meeting were: C. A. McNaughton (in the chair), A. D. Macintyre, J. A. Macintyre, R. H. Wood, J. B. Wood, A. B. Wood, T. Rowley, G. H. Bird, J. S. Richardson, R. M. Ellis, A. D. Cooper, A. Carmichael, W. Kurtz, R. DeBeaux, P. Sullivan, A. W. Storey, A. Watson, R. F. Hanna, A. E. Griffin, N. Wood, R. F. Blandy, R. J. Burde. them and believed it all to be true. It was not with the idle intent of merely provid'ng melo-dramatic entertainment for his fellow members that Mr. Cooper so vividly pictured the reported operations of the ruthless de stroyers. He urged a dedarat:on of war on the sea lions, and suggested that both Dominion and Provincial governments shou'd be asked to furnish the sinews by means of bounty. ed to buy a farm and go to work on it. The most attractive proposition he could find was H. E. Fitzgerald's ranch, known as the Stewardson place, about twelve miles out. from Alberni on the Carmichael, real estate broker, contractor, speculator, company promoter, etc. Mr. Picke-ing was sorry that he was late, and having made up his mind that he needed the ranch, was willing to pay a penalty for his dilatoriness. He was I willing to give the buyer $500 on his bargain. He got into communication with the pleasant Mr. Carmichael but j negotiations were brief, Mr. Pickering i being obl:ged to stop owing to a stag- j gering sensation.

Only one voice was raised in support of Mr. Cooper's plea for a demonstration of hostilities aga:nst the annihilators of the defenceless fish, and that was the voice of Thomas Rowley, a man who has won some local fame as a fighter of sea l:ons. Mr. Rowley intimated that there were more attractive occupations but that if the government saw fit to issue a call to arms by hanging up substantial bounty he would be tempted to undertake the mobilization of an agressive fleet and make the surface of the sea run red with the blood of these roaring, snorting monsters. The question may be brought up again at the next regular meeting of the board. TO LET-River Bank Cottage, six rooms. Apply to A. L. Smith, real estate office, Alberni.

Skookum, Anthony Watson's dog with an appropriate name, came out second best in a battle with a wounded eagle at Nahmint on Saturday last. Mr. Watson and a number of men had been engaged in moving the lumber and machinery from Hayes' landing and the dog was with them. An eagle with wings spread out seven feet, was hovering about and occasionally swooping down on a fish in the canal. Tom Mathers, who was possessed of a shot gun, fired at the eagle and brought it fluttering onto the beach. Skookum immediately jumped for the game, and the game jumped for Skookum. There was a whirlwind mix-up between the two for about half a minute, and then Skookum yelped with pain and tried to make for the woods, but he found progress difficult for the eagle insisted on going with him, and to make sure that it would not be left behind had securely | attached itself with its claws to the dog's back, and with its beak to his neck. Mr. Mathers, who had watched i the struggle with some interest, and whose sympathies were with Skookum, brought the battle to a finish by hitting the eagle on the head with a club. The monster bird was brought to town by Bob Sheffield, who will have it mounted and put on exhibition at the first local dog show. Ernest Fletcher, of Kamloops, who has looked carefully into the possibilities, and over the ground, has decided to establish a boat building industry in Alberni if he can secure a suitable site. Mr. Fletcher was in town for a couple of weeks, a guest at the Arlington hotel, and left on Thursday morning for the outside. He will return in a months time when he expects to have his affairs so shaped that he will be able to proceed with preliminary arrangements for building. As a boat builder Mr. Fletcher is well known throughout British Columb:a. He built a number of steamboats that ply the rivers and lakes of the interior of the provin2e and thoroughly understands the business. He plans his Alberni industry on a scale that will allow for the building of anything from a row boat to an ocean liner. Mr. Fletcher negotiated with the local agent of the Land company for a site, but found prices of suitable locations almost prohibitive. He then staked, and is now applying for, a foreshore lease from low water mark out into the stream at the confluence of Rodger creek and the Somass river. Mr. Fletcher's industry will be a boon to the old town, and, no doubt, he will receive the encouragement and support of the people in his efforts to secure a location for his works.

Subscription Rate, - $2.00 per year Port Alberni, B. C, Feb. 25,1911. Newspaper Graft. In last Saturday's issue of the Vancouver Saturday Sunset, Bruce, the editor, reprints an editorial from the Pioneer News of February 4th. in which general charges of graft in connection with Provincial government advertising patronage were refuted insofar as this paper was concerned, and makes the following comment: I am quite willing to accept the explanation of the Pioneer News as to why it has received this government patronage. I agree with him that not all the papers who received this pap are grafting in the usual sense of the term, but most of them are influenced by the pap they get. Among the exceptions who are not thus influenced I am ready and glad to believe that my old friend "Dick" Burde of the Pioneer News is one of them. Knowing his sturdy independence I have no hesitation in accepting his explanation. He is wrong in his figures, however, and I am right. On page c201 of the Public Accounts he will find an item under the head'ng "advertising sundry notices." $214.45, paid to his paper. On page c234 is another for printing voters' lists for $60. I have not counted the items for subscriptions to the various departments of the government. In my or'gi- nal article I included both pr'nting and advertising as the pap that was handed out to the papers and these two amounts make my statement correct. Adding the amount received for the printing of voters lists to what was received for statutory advertising, Bruce's total figures are correct. The $60 account should not have been forgotten, though the receipt of the money was much easier to forget than the work, wear, tear and worry that was caused in the Pioneer office in earning it. No doubt the sum of $60 is quite sufficient pay for the printing and bind'ng of three or four hundred copies of a twelve page voters list, but the job was not sought by the publisher of this paper, and would have been rejected had it not been that it was the on'y way in which the lists could be issued in time after the revision was ready for publication, and a special effort was made to execute work that the equipment of the establishment was not equal to. Two journeymen printers and an apprentice worked through a whole week, and for several'hours into dim lamp light, on those lists and so upset the arrangement of the mechanical department that it took a couple of days extra time the following week to get squared about aga:n. To the owner of a plant equipped for suchaj.b the contract should have proved profitable, but it was a losing proposition in the Pioneer News office. Even "at th:s day, with the plant cons'derably augmented, the same job would be passed up as bad business. There was other printing work offered the Pioneer News about the same time the voters lists were printedâthe printing of ballot papersâ and it was passed on to anyone else who wanted it because it could not be handled profitably and there was not the same urgency. Had the subscriptions of the various departments of the Provincial government, which Bruce mentions, been summed up the total would have been increased by $6, the government agency at Alberni, the Legislative Library and the Provincial Bureau of Information being paid subscribers on the same.terms and at the same rate as the leader of the Liberal Opposition in the Provincial House or any one of three hundred or more others of good taste and intelligence and who know where to get their money's worth. There is other advertising patronage that the Pioneer News has been entitled to and has not received because of its independence in politics. When the Dominion government wanted tenders for carrying mails in this district it ignored the Pioneer News, the only newspaper in the district, while it advertised in far away papers from which there was not the remotest chance of getting results. It is the same thing when the Dominion government wants tenders on any contract in this district, which is neither fair to the people of the district nor to the Pioneer News. But the Pioneer News has received some advertising patronage from the Dominion government, and it is just as well to haye it understood right here that in this particular case the Dominion government could not escape its duty, due to a good law made and provided by the Provincial government. The Dominion department of marine and fisheries is applying to the Provincial government for water records on two streams in this district, and is obliged to advertise notices of application for one month in a newspaper published in the district. When the said department discharges its indebtedness to the Pioneer News two items of $9.60 each will be entered in the public accounts at Ottawa, and will, in due time, be officially published. The Pioneer News has never accepted advertising from a government or any other source that cannot be justified on the ground of plain, honest business, nor does it want any. It would not be in a position to make this statement if, like a number of newspapers in British Columbia, it was regularly drawing money from the Dominion government for advertising the homestead and coal land regulations of the provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan, rank graft in which the Victoria Times, for instance, owned by the Hon. William Templeman, shamelessly shares. Island Farming Figures. "The Bush Farm on Vancouver IslandâWhat May and What May Not Be Accomplished on Twenty to Forty Acres," is the title of a ponderous contribution by C. A. Moorhead to the Victoria Colonist nf Sunday last. The article is illustrated with a number of farming scenes and is impregnated with facts and figures on what has been done, and what it is possible to do, with close estimates of capital required and returns that may reasonably be expected. From the great mass of information the following is taken as a sample of interest to this particular part of the island: "A man who can use an axe and do his own clearing, and who is not above doing day work on roads and ranches, can succeed with a capital of $1000, while his inexperienced neighbor may make a failure with two or three times this amount. Taking a man with a knowledge of farming who is prepared to start on a new 20-acre forest farm with five acres cleared, fie value of of establishment would be: Twenty acres at $25 per acre $500 Five acres cleared and stumped... 875 House 400 Chicken houses and out buildings.. 200 Furniture 125 Wagon and implements 150 L'ght horse 125 P gs and chickens 25 Seed and fruit trees 60 Fencing and gates 40 Total $2500 of which amount it would be necessary to have $1500 in ready cash, and the balance' can easily be spread over a term of years, or obtained on mortgage at about 7 to 8 per cent."

Touching the future of Vancouver Island in particular the premier said it was fully to be expected that the next five years would witness more than a doubling of population and easily a trebling of its industrial wealth. There was much good land on Vancouver Island which only awaited the facilities of communication to become the homesteads of an important agricultural population. LAND ACT NOTICES. LAND ACT NOTICES.
