NO 23 "BOOSTING" COMMITTEE RECEIVES ENCOURAGEMENT Nanaimo and Victoria Newspapers Support Proposition to Hold General Meeting of Development League In Alberni. Ranch Sold. R. F. Elton's ranch, off the Cherry Creek road, was sold this week to John Redford and A. Paul. M. Elton will hold an auction sale of his live stock, crops, implements and tools on Tues- j day, Jan. 25. The efforts of the joint committee of the Alberni and New Alberni branches of the Vancouver Island Development league to secure the forthcoming general meeting of the League for this district show good promise of success. The work of the committee was not started early enough to give the members the best advantage, the result being that some branches had committed themselves in favor of Nanaimo before the case of the two Albernis was presented to them. In reply to the communication sent by the committee's secretary to the Nanaimo branch the following letter was received: Nanaimo, Jan. 8," 1910. R. J. Burde, Esq., Dear Sir:âIn reply to yours of January 6th, I may say that our vote has already been recorded for Nanaimo as being the most central point for every branch of the Le-,ue. Mr. McGaffeyv*of Victoria, is also in favor of the meeting being held in Nanaimo. Wishing you and your associates every succt/ss during 1910, I am, r Yours Sincerely, E. W. Crouch, / Secretary. - Communications had also been sent io the tv>p newspapers in Nanaimo, and both o/t'them were able to see that the Aloerm claim was entitled to recognition. There is hope of the members of the Nanaimo branch reconsidering their decision, and if they do there should be little trouble in gaining the support of a sufficient number of the other branches to land the convention for the West Coast metropolis. Discussing the question in its editorial columns the Nanaimo Free Press of Monday last said: There must have been some local misunderstanding as to Alberni's attitude with regard to the holding of the general meeting of the Vancouver Island Development League. The secretary of the League is in communication with the various branches in order to ascertain in which city it would be most convenient to hold the meeting. The matter came up before the local branch on Friday night, and the members decided out of hand that no better place than Nanaimo could be found for such a gathering. The secretary also stated that Alberni held this opinion, and, indeed, almost all of the northern branches might reasonably be expected to take this view, failing, of course, to have the meeting in their own town or city. However, we are in receipt of a letter from R. J. Burde, of Alberni, who writes as secretary of a committee, which, he says, has been organized for the purpose of securing the next general meeting for Alberni. I Mr. Burde suggests that the meeting be called for some time in May or June next. They are, he concludes, inaugurating a publicity camoaign, and all the branches on the Island will hear from them as to why the town should be chosen. Of course we have no wish to turn away from our doors such a meeting as the League is preparing to hold. Such gatherings, we have always maintained, are a great advertisement to a town, a boost such as can be got in no other way. More than that, the tendency of such meetings is always to quicken local enthusiasm and enterprise, and kindle the spirit of local patriotism. That there is need of a whole lot of quickening, and quite an amount of kindling we are in no position to deny. Still we would not like to appear, in the language of the hour, too "hoggish." We have had one of the kind already, and we progress made with the trans-Island railway, and its completion will begin a new era for the Island generally, and for Nanaimo particularly. In all that this railway may do Nanaimo stands to reap direct benefit. We are not only the first link with the west coast but the distributing centre for all the western trade that will be created. We cannot, of course, undertake to speak for the local branch of the League, but it appears to us that, without injury to ourselves, we could support Alberni's claims. As things are, and having due regard to the aims and objects of the development league, Alberni's natural claims for the meeting are unassa'lable. The facts having been laid before the Victoria Colonist by the secretary of the joint committee, the leading space on the editorial page of that paper was given to the issue, the leading article reading as follows: The suggestion has come from Alberni that the next meeting of the Vancouver Island Development League should be held there. The suggestion is a very attractive one. As the meeting will not be held before the late spring or early summer, the journey would be extremely pleasant and an arrangement might be made whereby the members of the League could go one way by water and the other way by land. It would be an exceedingly enjoyable and instructive trip. We venture to suggest to the executive of the League that the time has come when special attention m'ght well be directed to the West Coast. Several of the most energetic of the branch Leagues are located along the West Coast, and we can think of no better way whereby the members of those bodies could be got together and given an opportunity of telling about the resources of their respective localities than a meeting at Alberni would afford. We recommend the suggestion to the favorable consideration of the executive of the League. Copies of these extracts have been Land Staking Scare. The recent activity in land staking in the Alberni district and elsewhere in the province promises to be greatly increased within the next few days. The excitement is due to the fact that it has been whispered that a proclamation of reserve may be made by the Provincial government any day. MORLEY IN VICTORIA; TAYLOR IN VANCOUVER Some Surprises Happen In Mayoralty Election Campaigns- Results In Various Places Throughout the Province. Grounds For Fair. At a meeting of the Alberni Agricultural association, held on Saturday afternoon last, arrangements were made for the purchase of five acres of Peter Nicholas' property, Lot 20, facing on the Beaver Creek road, which will be used as permanent fair grounds. Buildings will be erected in time for the next annual exhibition. Farmers' Meeting. At the annual meeting of the Alberni Farmers' Institute, held last Saturday afternoon, the following officers were re-elected: PresidentâJames Wilkinson. Vice-PresidentâF. Cowley. Secretary-treasurer -Henry Hills. DirectorsâA. H. Stephenson, W. H. Marcon. John Best was elected delegate to the Central Farmers' Institute which meets in Victoria on the 1st and 2nd of next month. F. Cowley was elected delegate for next year. The revenue from the weigh scales was $36.25, and a balance in hand of $160.05 was reported. Leaving For Bamfield. Miss Grace Cox will leave on the Steamer Tees, which is expected in port today or tomorrow, for Bamfield where she has accepted the position of teacher of the public school. At the conclusion of the general The municipal elections in various places throughout the province, on Thursday, resulted in a few surprises. In Victoria, where the contest was supposed to be between J. H. Turner and W. E. Oliver, neither of them won. The poll was headed by A. J. Morley, who had made practically no public fight for the election. The vote was: Morley, 1,497; Turner, 1,483; Oliver, 1,031; Henderson, 284. Morley's majority over Turner is 14. L. D. Taylor, editor of the World, was elected in Vancouver, receiving 3,187 votes against 2,912 for Mayor Douglass, the majority being 275. Taylor opposed Douglass last year, when there were three other candidates in the field, and lost by a small margin. The results in both Victoria and Vancouver are regarded as victories for the moral reform element. A. E. Planta will again be mayor of Nanaimo, he having defeated Mayor 178. The Hodgson, Hodgson by a majority of figures were, Planta, 440; 262. In Rossland Mayor John Martin was re-elected by a majority of 29 over J. W. Gregory, In Nelson Mayor Selous was re-elected by a majority of 11 over J. A. Irving. Other results were as follows: Revelstoke -Dr. J. Hamilton. KamloopsâJ. T. Robinson. Grand Forks-Fred Clark. PheonixâD. J. Matheson. GreenwoodâDuncan Mcintosh. Kaslo -J. W. Power. Trail-G. F. Weir. Sandon -Dr. W. E. Gomm. A social dance was held in Brand's hall last night and about twenty couples had a thoroughly enjoyable time. The music was furnished by Mrs. Ward and George Ward. Harold Bishop was master of ceremonies. Agricultural Land Is Still Plentiful specially printed on note paper and , sent to all other branches.

Big Steam Shovel Is Ready To Dig The b:g steam shovel landed at Waterhouse's wharf, New Alberni, for Grant & Fraser, railway contractors, last week, has been moved on rails, specially laid for the purpose, to Overcoat Point, where it will be put in operation next week. The first work for the huge machine will be to remove the bluff at the pornt, making a level j of over a hundred feet back from the waterfront. Grant & Fraser have established their office headquarters in A. Watson's old house, and have put up their camp on the Land company's orchard property. They will have about fifty men employed in the new town and vicinity. James Murray Dead. The death of James Murray, of Bamfield, occurred in New Alberni on Thursday of this week. Mr. Murray was about 67 years of age, and being in bad health came to New Alberni on Tuesday n:ght for medical treatment.

The presentation was made by Rev. T. S. Glassford, who referred in warm complimentary terms to the services of the departing teacher. Presbyterian Annual. At the annual Congregational meeting of the St. Andrew's Presbyterian church, which was held in the church on Wednesday evening, it was decided to place the church on the augmentation list. The report of the treasurer showed that the receipts in 1909, while not so large as during the previous year, were ample to defray all expenses and leave a balance on hand. The Ladies' Aid report showed that that organization had a balance of $271.00 after paying all expenses in connection with the church, other than the minister's salary, and also presenting Mrs T. S. Classford with $50.00 in recognition of her services as organist. The Sabbath School report showed a decrease in both attendance ancl collections but the latter was large enough to meet all expenses. JAS. R. MOTION, Real Estate and Insurance. Lots and Acreage for Sale. Victoria, Jan. 12.âThat there arc- hundreds upon hundreds of square miles of as excellent agricultural land as the most, fastidious settler could possibly desire still available for the home- seeker and pre-emptor who may apply- to the Government of British Columbia, is the good news given out by the Crown Lands department as a result ol this past season's work of vraious survey parties, the majority of which have been pngaged in the northern areas soon to be brought directly in touch with population and civilization by the construction of the Grand Trunk Pacific and the Canadian Northern ra'lway. That British Columbia's public lands available for settlement have been approximately exhausted, or reduced either to isolated prairies in remote and inaccessible districts, or else to sterile stretches that will not justify development by the agriculturist, is a myth which the reports of half a dozen explanatory surveys now in possession of the suveyor-general, are quite sufficient to dispel. It is the intention to presei.t an abstract of these reports to to the legislature during the approaching session, profusely illustrated with photographs taken by the government's land scouts during the season 1909, which even better than the clearly written descriptive letterpress -give one a fair conception of the fertile valleys of British Columbia awaiting exploitation by the husbandman, the orchardist, or the cattleman. Alberni Team Admitted. News has been recieved by E. M. Whyte to the effect that the application of the Alberni Football team to be entered in the second division of the Vancouver Island league has been accepted. The second division will now be composed of nine teams there being four in Victoria, four in Ladysmith ancl one in Alberni. The eight teams of Victoria and Ladysmith will play down to finals, and Alberni will be given twj matches with the winners. A general meeting of the West Coast League will be held in E. M. Whyte's house next Tuesday evening when the composition of the Alberni team and other questions will be discussed. T. H. K. Bayne, of Uchucklesat, is a visitor in Alberni. Frank Tyler and T. Paterson are engaged repairing the Clayoquot cable line which was broken some weeks ago. Fruit Inspector Wilson has been busy in Alberni valley this week enforcing the spraying of trees on Indian reserves. George Michell, representing E. G. Prior & Co.; J. M. Shields, representing Rithet & Co.; and H. Vaughan. representing F. R. Stewart & Co., were in town on Tnursday and Friday of this week doing business with the merchants. Auction Sale At Elton's Ranch. I have received instruction from R. F. Elton to sell by aution on Mr. Leg Broken. The first serious accident on the Alberni end of the E. & N. railway extension construction occurred about four miles from town on Tuesday. A gang of men were clearing away logs and stumps on a side hill, in the vicinity of Four Mile creek when one of them, W. Jansen, got in front of a large piece of timber that was rolling down hill and was knocked down and crushed. One of his legs was badly broken. Four men packed him<lown the hill to camp, , from where he was removed to the hospital at Loon Lake. The Dominion Government steamer Newington, with Capt. Gaudin aboard, was in New Alberni on Tuesday.

Subscription Rate, - $2.00 per yea Alberni, B. C, Jan. 15, 1910 Too Easy On Liquor Sellers. Because of the unrestrained consumption of intoxicating liquor, principally by men who work on railway construction, an extra policeman has been made necessary in this community. The additional officer would cost the Province $75 per month. The three licensed hotels each pay $10,418, or a total of $31.25 per month, in license fees for the privilege of creating this necessary expense. These are facts and figures that may be used as an argument either in favor of the prohibition of the sale of liquoi or in support of an amendment to the liquor act increasing the license fees. If the liquor hcense regulations were strictly enforced, there would not be so much trouble with drunken and disorderly men on the streets. If the regulation forbidding the sale of liquor to drunken men was observed, as it should be, there would be less drunkeness and disorderly conduct to contend with, and the present force of one regular constable for the two towns, Alberni and New Alberni, would be sufficient. The disposition of the general run of liquor vendors to ignore this regulation is so marked, however, that a proper enforcement of it by the authorities would require more police vigilance than one officer is capable of exercising, and, which ever way the question is looked at, the liquor traffic, so far as this community is concerned, is unprofitable to the people. As experience teaches, (the conditions that have prevailed in Prince Rupert, for instance) that local prohibition, even if obtainable, is not altogether desirable at present, an amendment to the liquor act, providing for a much higher license fee, should be given immediate consideration. It will, no doubt, be argued that drunkeness and disorderly conduct must be expected and tolerated to a certain extent in a place where a railway is under construction. Such has been the order of things in nearly every instance in the west. It may also be said, and with a measure of truth, that it has been demonstrated that one constable has been able to look after the peace and order of a community where railway builders have been as numerous as they are here. If this community were like the others referred to, the standard of good conduct accepted elsewhere might reasonably be expected to do for this settlement, but the conditions being widely different the Alberni case should be decided on its own merit. This is a community that has existed in comparative peace for a number of years, its record of court cases, civil and criminal, being remarkahly low. Of an established population of over five hundred white people, women and children are a predominating feature. Most other town in this far west country that have been made a headquarters for the first railway construction, sprang into existence with the announcement or commencement of railway building operations and the majority of the population consisted of men who were accustomed to, or were looking for, the freedom and rough- and-tumble of the transient frontier. A drunken man at large caused but little annoyance to anyone, while a drunken fracas was generally regarded as a natural contribution to the life interest of the camp. Drunken men are a menace to the freedom of women and children on the streets of Alberni, and a drunken row is a terror to the best part of the population. If the bar-room output of disturbers continues, the responsible persons, the liquor vendors, will have to suffer the inevitable reaction. If extra police force has to be employed it will have to be pa:d for by the people who made it necessary, and the first duty of the strengthened constabulary will be to pay attention to the cause. This will mean a h;glier license fee and closer restrictions on the sale of liquor. The owners of bar-rooms should have enough common business sens ; to see that a strict observance of reasonable liquor license regulations is in their own financial and moral interest. The publisher of the Alberni Pioneer News is not so strong on optimism thai he could not be made stronger. The power to increase this strength rests, at present, in the pockets or bank accounts of delinquent subscibers. John Mitchell, the labor leader, whj was asked by the Temple club of Mount Vernon, N. Y., to describe what he regarded as an ideal relation between capital and labor, replied as follows: "It is my firm conviction that the ideal of trade unionism will be attained when a strong organization of labor shall find itaelt' face to face with an equally strong organization of employers, embracing every employer in the trade. They will then meet upon a basis of absolute equality." The New "Dinny Deever." The Philadelphia Bulletin heads an article on the British budget crisis in the following verse: "What's that? What's that?" said Lansdowne, To Lloyd-George on parade. "Why, that's the people's angry cries," The "L;ttle David" said. "But what is all the fuss about?" Asked Lansdowne in a flutter. "Why, that's the people," quoth Lloyd-George, "Demanding bread and butter." "But why should people rage so hard?" Asked Lansdowne from his stand: "Because, because," Lloyd-George replied, "They want their bit of land." CHORUS.

Bishop Farthing, of Montreal, in a missionary address, suggested that to increase their givings some men might do with one cigar less a day, while ladies might reduce the price of their ' hats. The bishop said he had heard of women paying as high as $250 for a hat, and declared this was wicked, no matter whether the person is rich or not. 12.524 miles. The steamship service of the Canadian Pacific is fully 10,000 miles, so that the company controls a transportation system greater than the circumference of the world. A man 60 years of age, who has worked as a printer from the Pacific to the Atlantic, and from the Rio Grande north to Bow river, who has owned newspapers and job printing offices in a dozen towns and cities in the United States and Canada, for the first time in his life worked an old year out and i a new year in at Fort George, setting 2-nick nonpariel type by lamp light.

A notorious cattle thief, Dutch Henry, who has scourged the international boundary country for eight years, is reported to have been shot at the Big Muddy river, 60 miles souih of Moose Jaw, Sask.. by a Mounted Policeman on Monday last. Henry v a shot after a smart duel in which the policeman had his horse shot under him. The latter came on the < utlaw unexpectedly, and Henry instantly fired, killing the horse and throwing the policeman to the ground, whence he fired twice, kill:ng Dutch Henry at the second shot. An attempt to thaw dynamite on a kitchen stove resulted in an explosion and the destruction of the residence of J. Guille, Burnaby, on Monday morning. Four men, one woman and a child, who were in the building at the time, had an almost miraculous escape from death. The report of the explosion quickly brought a crowd, but it was evident that no effort could save the build'ng from total destruction. Mr. Guille, who is a French-Canadian, and speaks only indifferent English, after many efforts managed to make the onlookers understand that he had $2,000 in a trunk in the burning building, and appealed for volunteers to help him save his little fortune. At the risk of their lives a number of men chopped a hole in one of the walls and rescued the box, but not before the fire had reached it. Some of the b'lls were charred, but as the numbers are legible, there will be no difficulty in getting them redeemed. NEWS GENERAL AND PERSONAL Best Style and Quality Gent's Furnishings.
