No. 9 LIST OF PRIZE WINNERS AT ANNUAL FALL FAIR The largest number of entries and the largest gathering of spectators in the history of agricultural fairs in the Alberni district, marked the event of last Wednesday, which was the holding of the annual fall fair on the new grounds and in the new hall. In spite of the short time given him and numerous disadvantages under which he worked, the contractor, R. W. Heaslip, had the building in shape in time for the show, and the hall, with an elaborate array of farm products and handiwork, was opened at 4 o'clock in the afternoon by A. W. Heath, vice- president of the Agricultural society. In a brief address Mr. Heath explained the difficulties under which he and his fellow directors had worked, and asked the indulgence of the throng for the little delay that had been experienced in judging the many exhibits. He also expressed the thanks of the society to the Provincial government for a generous grant through which the new and handsome building had been made possible. The judging of live stock took place previous to the opening of the hall. Following is a complete list of prize winners, first and second being awarded in the Order in which they are here mentioned: HORSES. Draft stallionâT. S. Grieve.

Center piece, cotton embroidered on linen: Miss Marcon, Mrs Morrison One of the boldest attempts at swindle that has been known in the history of "wild-cat" real estate ventures in this district has just been attempted by the L. W. Bick agency in Calgary. The L. W. Bick headquarters are in Victoria, and branch offices are established in Vancouver, Calgary, Winnipeg and Toronto. Another branch is now being opened in Port Alberni. The firm makes a feature of Port Alberni property and has issued volumes of advertising matter on the future possibilities of this port. Whatever excuse ma.y be allowed for some of the previous advertisements in the name of L. W. Bick there can be no excuse for the latest in question. If the responsible party has not already run foul of the law it is high time for the authorities to wake up and pay some attention to the case. In the name of L. W. Bick, investments, people are advised through the medium of the Calgary Herald, to put their money into Port Alberni real estate, and here are some of the reasons why given in the issue of the Herald of September 25: "An incorporated city. Established in 1892." "Population about 3000." "The C. P. R. and C. N. R. have large ocean docks there." "Four hundred men are building a C. P. R. station there." ' 'The pay-roll of one of the sawmills is $20,000 per month." The foregoing statements are glaringly false, and the man who would sell (Continued on Page 4.) an innocent person property on the strength of them is a swindler. Port Alberni is not an incorporated city The population is not yet 500. The C. P. R. has a fair sized wharf here. The C. N. R. has neither wnarf nor dock of any kind. There are not even fourteen men building a C. P. R. station here, nor has there ever been. The pay-roll statement is just as wide of the mark as the others. While it is true that honest people, with foresight and experience, will not hesitate to declare that Port Alberni is destined to become a city of much greater importance than the L. W. Bick fakir paints for the present, nothing but harm can be done by allowing such methods of interesting outsiders to go unexposed. And there is something more than this to it. The subtle trick of the L. W, Bick liar is to secure buyers for wilderness property that is shown on a blue print as town lots, The L. W. Bick lots are bevond the,enormous townsite area of the Alberni Land company They are simply bush land through which surveyors have gone and planted a few stakes. Music Lessons: Mrs. W. C.

Subscription Rate, - $2.00 per year Port Alberni, B. C, Oct. 7. 1911. Attracting Attention. In the September issue of the B. C. Magazine are a number of splendid reproductions of Leonard Frank's photographic views of Alberni district together with the following article by Ernest McGaffey: Some districts are the lake districts; some hold the mountain streams; but if you want lake and river fishing combined, with a turn to the sea water for salmon trolling, try the Albernis. And if trout and salmon pall on you, take a run down to Sechart and go out with a whaler and see them "cast" for whales with a harpoon gun, or join the Siwash canoe fleet and try your luck deep-sea fishing for eighty-pound halibut and red and black cod. It's dead certain you can extract a fresh thrill from all the variety that this new country holds in the way of angling. The last time I saw Lost Shoe Creek it was "boiling" with trout, rainbows and steelheads, and a dozen casts hooked as many fish. Any more would have been rank slaughter. Indian Joe met me at Stamp River Falls with five big steelheads which he had just "snaked in" with a primitive gaff attached to a long stick, the gaff being also tied to a stout line. As the trout swam into the rapids to run the falls, Joe would strike the barb in sharp, loose the cord and rush the fish in, tap it with the club handle, and drop it on the rocks. He grinned and said "Heap ketch um when sun goes down." And with long casts and small flies the steelheads did rise at tne first strokes of twilight. They fought like devils, too. And not everyone was reeled to the net, either. The Stamp waters and McBride Creek and Somass River are all good trout streams. And no flies or mosquitoes, thank God. Alberni is a sleepy little town just now. When the rails come in next September there will be a rush of the Izaak Waltons to this locality. And then Buttles Lake and Myra River will be the great unexplored, and the restless among the fishermen will "trek" into those haunts and whip again the almost virgin waters. The Somass slips quietly into and past the village, but higher up it spins its currents into the finest and most feathery lace imaginable. Mount Arrowsmith looms, snowclad, far beyond, and an Alpine serenity stretches across toward sunset. Sproat Lake has some good trout, and wary, and the joke of the fishing there is that you may cast or troll for as long as you like and maybe finish up disgusted with a couple of two-pounders, and then hitch up and go a little further to Great Central Lake and quit because the fish are too plentiful and hungry. There are some whoppers in Grsat Central Lake. Even Indian Joe will admit this. But he likes the old style angling best. The scenery everywhere is exquisite, and prettier bits of water you will not find than Stamp River Falls, the Somass Falls and many a stretch of current on McBride Creek and Ash River. At the Sea Arm, the famous Aibevni Canal, you can take a hand-line and troll a couple of hours to a total of half-a-dozen or a dozen lusty salmon; but after'the first thrill or two it is better to take a rod and reel them in. Five to twenty-five pounders, they give good fight, and you get the "difference" in the "feel" and the variety in the "playing." If you want to take a guide and go deep into' Buttles Lake and its rivers and streams, you will find some yet unscored water. And a launch trip from Port Alberni, across the Ucluelet trail and thence to Lost Shoe Creek and Sand Creek will land you into the real old Robinson Crusoe solitudes. But in there you will not fish very long for sheer satiety. But you can camp on the beach and see the eagles cross and re-cross in flocks, and hear the hiss of forty-foot breakers as they storm at the crested outshore islands. After all* your fishing, friend, the new countries have their own especial lure. And whether it is the tang of the wilderness or the deep silence of the cross- trails, the rush of the mountain, glacier-fed streams, or the mirrored mountain lakes at twilight, thespellis there. As it was in the old Adirondack day; as it was in the Idaho lakes in the early "sixties"; as it was before Nipigon was meshed with fly-rods; as it is now, in the Albernis, on Vancouver Island.
