Alberni Pioneer 434- Volume 5. Port Alberni, B. C, Jan. 20, 1912. No. 24 Incorporation Committee Is Making Headway A meeting of the Municipal Incorporation committee was held at the residence of A. D. Cooper on Thursday night when all the members were present. A letter from Attorney-General Bowser, saying that he was having the letters patent drawn up and requesting to be advised of the desires of the people in a number of important details, was read. After due deliberation the committee advised as follows: "That the Municipal council should consist of a Mayor and six Aldermen. " That four members should constitute a quorum. "That all registered owners of land, who were registered before the day of nomination for the first municipal election, should be eligible to sit on the council. " That the Permanent Exhibit building at the corner of Kingsway and Argyle street, should be the polling place. " That Robert Francis Blandy, of Port Alberni, should be the Returning officer " That the day of nomination should be the " date of incorporation," and that the date should be as early as possible." It is expected that within sixty days the machinery of civic government will be in running order, and that various municipal works will have been undertaken. Among the first works will be the taking of street levels and the establishment of a water supply and sewerage system. Fire protection and electric lighting will also come in for immediate consideration. Assurances have already been received that the new city of Port Alberni will have no trouble in raising enough money to proceed with all necessary municipal works. Alberni Incorporation. At a public meeting, held in Alberni last night, a committee was appointed to enquire into the proposition of incorporation of the town. Another committee was appointed to develop a scheme for beautifying the town. A. W. Neill reported for the delegation that visited Victoria and unsuccessfully opposed the incorporation petition of the people of Port Alberni. Local News In Brief The Alberni Land company reports an increased demand for townsite lots since the granting of the petition for municipal incorporation. H. R. Hardy, secretary-treasurer of the Canadian Pacific Lumber company, was in town yesterday on business in connection with the Port Alberni branch. E. Lester, of Vancouver, arrived in Port Alberni yesterday afternoon to size up the opportunity for a business opening. Mr. Lester owns three teams of heavy horses and a logging equipment. The fourth illustrated lecture under the auspices of the St. Andrew's church Literary society will be given on Tuesday next. It being Burns' week the subject will be "The Land of Burns." For this lecture there will be only one price of admittance, 25 cents. Coal Expert Is Here On Diamond Drill Proposition. S. Scott, one of the most noted coal experts in the United States, arrived by yesterday afternoon's train accompanied by C. A. Moorhead and L. Noyes. Mr. Scott is making a thorough examination of the coal formations existing in the townsite preparatory to making a report showing where he considers the best spots for diamond drilling. Should his report be as favorable as the Land company expects, drilling operations wil be started immediately and the seam thoroughly proved prior to starting a comprehensive mining scheme. C. P. R. To Spend Millions In West It has been officially announced that no less than $20,000,000 will be spent by the Canadian Pacific Railway company in improving the system west of the Great Lakes during the coming year. The main line is to be double-tracked as soon as possible in all congested districts. A second track will be laid along the route between Regina and Chaplin, Sask., between Hammond, B. C, and Vancouver, and between Alyth and Sintaluta, Alberta. Considerable extensions will be made to the terminal facilities at Vancouver, Calgary, Swift Current, Moose Jaw, Outlook, Regina, Broadview, Brandon and Fort William. A new terminal will also be built this summer at Coquitlam, B. C. Will Open New Store. Campbell & Macfie, tailors and gents' furnishers of Alberni, have leased a store in the Bird block, Second avenue, Port Alberni, and will be open for business on or about Feb. 1st. They will have a newly selected stock of everything useful or fanciful that the masculine taste runs to in the matter of dress comfort or ornamentation. In reply to the challenge issued by Harry Walton on behalf of a team of four English billiard players of Alberni to meet a team of the same number from Port Alberni, (Jack Clarke announces that he will produce the Port Alberni team at any suitable time, it being presumed that the game of English billiards is to be played on an English billiard table. Editor Is Requested To Lance the C. P. R. Clearing More Townsite Walter Harris, with a large gang of men, has commenced work on the clearing of one hundred acres of Port Alberni townsite property for the Alberni Land company. The land is south of the present clearing and back of the Canadian Pacific Lumber company's mill property. Work is also to be commenced in the near future on one hundred acres to the north of the Redford road. NOTICE.

Dance and under the aspices of The Alberni District Civilian Rifle Association, In Whyte's Hall, Alberni, On Friday, Feb. 2nd, At 8:30 p.m. TICKETS: ONE DOLLAR Allowed on Purchase Price of Basket Editor Pioneer News. Dear Sir, — " Fiat jus titia ruat ccelum'' is, if my recollection serves me rightly, a motto exemplifying the earnest desire of every newspaper lance. I ask you to take notice of certain matters that you will see readily call for justice. I ask you, sir, a trenchant wielder of the weapon mightier than the sword, to use it in behalf of the requirements of Alberni and its residents at the hands of the C.P.R. in the matter of accomodation and fair treatment. You can easily see, as all observers can, that Port Alberni, from its position and enterprising progress, is rapidly going to become a town of importance and substance. Will you, by means of the publicity at your disposal, and the power of your pen, open the eyes of the C.P.R. to the fact that that corporation is in a needless state of "blue funk " that the old town will so far overshadow the new as to extinguish it. I deduce the above from the fact that the time table mar*,:s Alberni as a flag station, also that tickets are issued to Port Alberni and not to Alberni; also that there is no station at Alberni thus putting the residents in the awkward position of having to journey to Port Alberni to get the station agent there if a car is to be opened at the old town. I believe it is an understood thing that a railroad acting as a public carrier owes to the public certain duties and it seems that Alberni has been distinctly discriminated against in favor of the port. Strathcona and Keo- nig are neither of them flag stations per the time table, nor is McBride junction. Then why Alberni ? If, as time goes on, and Port Alberni becomes a coal mining center, saw milling center, etc., etc., there will be a large population that will prefer to leave the scenes of commercial and manufacturing industry and live in and around the broad valley of Alberni. Then the outside public will recognize the injustice done by the C. P. R. in trying to conceal the fact that there is such a place as Alberni. The Victoria paper of a recent date does likewise. A party of Victorians stayed with friends in Alberni and enjoyed their visit and this was chronicled as happening in Port Alberni—a place the visitors have not yet seen. All the above is simply a preamble to the fact that, for one thing sure Alberni will have a station agent, and I believe there is a judge in British Columbia who will shortly point the matter out to the C. P. R. Also that the flag station as represented by Alberni is absurd having the fifth largest population on the E. & N. line after leaving Victoria. I honestly believe that giving fair treatment to Alberni will not hold back Port Alberni's progress, and, sir, as injustice has been done, I believe it is "up to you " to use all your powers to get for Alberni justice and fair treatment. W. Burdette Garrard. Victoria, B. C, Jan. 4. ports, to believe it would be. Time, a very short time, removed that ground of discontent, and, no doubt, the new complaint will be removed by the same process. It may be presumed that the Canadian Pacific Railway company is, like Mr. Garrard and most of the others of us, pursuing that selfish and enlightened policy of making money. In this pursuit we all owe consideration to the public, though the C. P. R. may be the heaviest debtor, but just at the present time it is plain to see that the railway people are not getting anything near as much out of the public on their Port Alberni extension as the public is getting out of them. The company has over a million and a half dollars invested in the line, and its gross earnings are only a small percentage of the cost of maintenance and operation. Under such circumstances there is apparent a good business reason for such economy as having only one station agency instead of two within two miles of each other where such curtailment is permissible. The case of Koenig and Shawnigan, cited by Mr. Garrard, are not analagous to the case of Alberni and Port Alberni. There is another and an important point which Mr. Garrard should not overlook. It was not the business offering in this district that induced the railway company to build its line. The existing business would not warrant the running of trains let alone the investment of a million and a half dollars in a track on which to run them. The company had an eye to the future and laid its plans accordingly. When that large residential population appears in broad Alberni valley the railway company may be trusted, in its own interest, to cater carefully to its wants, and, unless its present policy of development is considerably checked, the chapces are that it will be on the job before the business warrants it. These are a few reasons why the Pioneer News cannot comply with Mr. Garrard's request to run the C. P, R. through the body with a lance. In regard to any advantage that Port Alberni may have derived through its name being used in a newspaper where the name Alberni should be used, it is a case of ten to one the other way about. That Fiat Justita ruat Coelum is a fierce proposition. A translator, of recognised authority, says it means "Let Justice Be Done Though the Heavens Should Fall." It is much worse than the conduct of some of the Pioneer News' neighbors whose actions say, "Let the stumps of the townsite be blown into the air even should the pieces fall on the roof of the newspaper building and puncture it in a hundred places." It is not long since Mr. Garrard aired another grievance against the railway company. He blamed it, and wanted to have it publicly abused, because its line had not been completed as soon as people had been led, by newspaper re- Good Financial Showing The postponed annual meeting of the members of St. Andrew's church, Alberni, will be held on Thursday next.

C. Brewster, .member for Alberni district, said: "A matter of no great note possibly to the empire, of some to the Dominion, of greater importance to the province and almost paramount importance to the district I have the honor to represent, has taken place during 1911. In Alberni we have been waiting these many years for railway communication and last year we saw the extension of the E. & N. out through the portions of Vancouver Island, hitherto not enjoying such facilities, and on to the terminal of Alberni, on the west coast of the island. This, as we know, is an extension of the C. P. R. system, and was subsidized by the Dominion government. We need other means of keeping up with the tremendous strides that the district is making, and I take this opportunity of warning the first minister and the minister of public works that heavy demands will be made on them for roads and other facilities to permit these people to keep up with the natural growth. One of these roads, I believe, has been brought to the attention of the government many times, and is that one which should run along Sproat lake and Central lake, over the mountains and by Kennedy lake to Ucluelet and Clayoquot, passing along Long Beach, which, I.believe one day will be one of the greatest summer resorts in British Columbia. Another' is a road connecting up the new Strathcona park with the west coast. I throw these out as 'suggestions to the first minister and minister of public works, and unless they meet these and other demands from our district they may look out for storms." Mr. Brewster also intimated in his speech that he looked forward to an election after the close of the present session which attaches |more significance than sincerity to his remarks. We trust that by what he left unsaid Mr. Brewster does not want the impression to get abroad that he was responsible for the initiative in the big road building scheme. It is not so long since Mr. Brewster, on the public platform in Alberni, scorned the idea that he should take an interest in the road building of the district. He said he had been accused of not personally investigating the various road requirements of his constituency, and his defence was put in these words: "Well, I am not building roads, and, if I was, I would not build a culvert and then close it up at one end." That was when Mr. Brewster felt able, by use of Dominion government patronage, to win an election for the Provincial house. Now that he has been deserted by the patronage vote he can no longer afford to show contempt for the vital interests of the district. Are You ? ? WHERE THE MONEY AND GRAFT WAS. A few people were under the impression that it was the Conservatives who had the money to spend in the last Dominion election, but recent revelations in Vancouver relegate such an idea to absurdity. Ex-Mayor Taylor, of Vancouver, and editor of the World of that city, says, in answer to a charge that he was paid $10,000 by the Liberal party for the support of his newspaper in the Dominion election, that he was paid the money for advertising and received nothing more than was coming to him. A prominent Liberal has replied that the agreement between the editor of the World and the managers of the Liberal party in Vancouver was that the ex-mayor should not only give the support of his newspaper for the $10,000 but that he should also deliver a large proportion of the labor vote into the hands of the Liberals. This is just one more case of where Liberal grafters in British Columbia having fallen out the truth comes out. And is it not rank ? Was it not high time for the change that happened ? And yet, Mr. Brewster is quoted in his speech of Monday last, in the Provincial house, as saying that the reason of the great change on Sept. 21st was the people were blinded by prejudice.

Referring to the probability of a general Provincial election following the present session of the House the Victoria Times says: "We shall be quite frank in this matter. We admit that whether an election be held this year or next, there could be little hope of the defeat of the government." The Times does cherish a hope, however, for the return of a strong opposition. H. C. Brewster, M. P. P., is the latest notable person to require the attention of the Detection-and-Correction-of-Errors committee of the Port Alberni board of trade. It will be seen, by reference to a part of his speech, quoted in the first article in this column, that he neods to be reminded that the west coast terminus of the E. & N. railway is Port Alberni, not Alberni. It is suggested that an arch should be constructed on the Port Alberni side of Roger creek, and that on the arch, so that people coming from the other 'side could read it, there should be the words "Welcome To Our City" with the last word heavily underlined.

The work of the committee on Municipal Incorporation, appointed by the Board of Trade about a year ago and later commissioned by the people of Port Alberni in mass meeting assembled, was recognised at the annual general meeting of the Board on Monday night. In his retiring address the president made special mention of it and his suggestion that the appreciation of the Board be fittingly expressed was carried out in a resolution of sincere thanks and ordering the names of the members of the committee to be recorded in history. There were present at the meeting : C. A. McNaughton, president, R. F. Blandy, D. McN. Lowe, R. Ellis, F. H. Swayne, R. Wood, E. B. Garrard, N. Wood, H. L. Hayne, Dr. C. T. Hilton, J. S. MacLeod, G. H. Bird, H. L. Mertz. James Clark, A. Sproat, A. D. Macintyre, J. A. Macintyre, C. M. Wise, A. D. Cooper, E. M. Welham. Thos. Collinge, R. J. Buride. President McNaughton read his annual address as follows : Gentlemen: I have much pleasure in presenting to you, the third annual report of the Board of Trade, of Port Alberni,. B.C. The board has shown very commendable activity in the interests of the town, and the duties devolving on some of the committees have been of such a nature as to require a very considerable concession of their time in addition to careful study and research. The first subject of importance to present itself was the Telephone question, an effort being made by the company to install a partial-or day service only. Your board took the subject up energetically with the company with the result that we, today, have the present continuous twenty-four hour service, without any concession in rates. The important matter of a water supply for the future town has not been lost sight of. As a result of our effort with the Provincial government a reserve has been recorded in our favor that will ensure a bountiful supply of pure water for domestic purposes as soon as we are in a position to take same. The foreshore and street end question has received attention and the rights of the town carefully guarded. We have the assurance of the Dominion govern- that no foreshore privilege will be granted without first placing particulars of such application before this body. So far they have carefully lived up to this assurance. A very able and energetic committee of your board has given valuable time and research to the important question of Incorporation. It has been prominently before the committee and a live issue for the whole of the year. The extremely satisfactory results of their years labor came to light during the past week when the Provincial government, on pressure from a large and enthusiastic delegation of citizens, granted the prayer of our petition and signed the order in council incorporating the city of Port Alberni and including the whole area exactly as pur committee had recommended. Your Incorporation committee is entitled to great praise for its energetic work and I shall be pleased to see placed on the records of this board a resolution of thanks and incorporating in the said resolution the names of* members of -the committee. Other matters of minor importance have been dealt with by the board and with good results. C. A. McNaughton. President January 15th, 1912. R. F. Blandy submitted his report as treasurer, showing a balance in the Royal Bank of Canada. Officers for the ensuing year were elected as follows: President—A. D. Cooper. Vice-president—J. A. Macintyre. Secretary—H. L. Hayne Treasurer—J. S. MacLeod. Council—F. H. Swayne, A. E. Water- house, C. A. McNaughton, A. D. Macintyre and R. F. Blandy. Long Distance Talks. Port Alberni is now connected with the British Columbia Telephone company's long distance system, the service having been satisfactorily completed on Wednesday when a number of citizens enjoyed the novelty of conversation with friends in Victoria. Promise To Build Primary School R. F. Blandy, secretary of the Municipal Incorporation committee, has received from the Superintendent of Education at Victoria the following self- explanatory letter: Sir,—I am in receipt of your letter of the 4th inst. embodying a resolution asking the government to provide for immediate primary school accommodation in Port Alberni. In reply I beg to acquaint you that I have today written to the Public Works department asking . them to go on with the construction of a two-room school house on block 150, Port Alberni townsite.

That Attorney-General Bowser meant exactly what he said a few days ago when intimating that a general reduction in the number of licensed houses in the rural districts was imminent is emphasized by the protests that are already coming in from those who were licensees but are such no longer, says the Victoria Colonist. The ministerial course is based wholly upon the license inspectdrs' reports, the cancellations ordered and contemplated being for active violations of the law or for failure on the part of the licensees in unorganized districts to meet the requirements named in the act for licensed hotel premises—as in the matter of dining- room, guestroom and stabling accommodation, licensees living with their families upon the premises, etc. Free Seed For Farmers. By instructions of the Hon. Minister of Agriculture a distribution will be made during the coming winter and spring of superior sorts of grain and potatoes to Canadian farmers. The samples for general distribution will consist of spring wheat (5'lbs.), white oats (4 lbs.), barley (5 lbs.), and field peas (3 lbs.). These will be sent out from Ottawa. A distribution of potatoes (in 3 lb. samples) will be carried on from several of the experimental farms, the Central Farm at Ottawa supplying only the provinces of Ontario and Quebec. All samples will be sent free, by mail. Applicants should give particulars in regard to the soil on their farms; and should also state what varieties they have already tested and in what way these have been found unsatisfactory, so that a promising sort for their conditions may be sent. Each application must be separate and must be signed by the applicant. Only one sample can be sent to each farm. Applications on any kind of printed or written form cannot be accepted. As the supply of seed is limited, farmers are advised to apply early to avoid possible disappointment. No application can be accepted after Feb. 15. All applications for grain (and applications from the provinces of Ontario and Quebec for potatoes) should be addressed to the Dominion Cerealist, Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa. Applications, for potatoes, from farmers in any other province should be addressed (postage prepaid) to the Superintendent of the nearest Branch Experimental Farm in that province. COAL mining rights of the Dominion, in Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Alberta, the Yukon Territory, the North-west Territories and in a portion of the Province of British Columbia, may be leased for a term of twenty-one years at an annual rental of $1 dollar an acre. Not more than 2,560 acres will be leased to one applicant. Application for a lease must be made by the applicant in person to the Agent or Sub-Agent of the district in which the rights applied for are situated. In surveyed territory the land must be des- acribed by sections, or legal sub-divisions of sections, and in unsurveyed territory the tract applied for shall be staked out by the applicant himself. Each application must be accompanied by a fee of $5 which will be refunded if the rights applied for are not available, but not otherwise. A royalty shall be paid on the merchantable output of the mine at the rate of five cents per ton. The person operating the mine shall furnish the Agent with sworn returns accounting for the full quantity of merchantable coal mined and pay the royalty thereon. If the coal mining rights are not being operated, such returns should be furnished at least once a year. The lease will include the coal mining rights only, but the lessee may be permitted to purchase whatever available surface rights may be considered necessary for the working of the mine at the at the rate of $10.00 an acre. For full information application should be made to the Secretary of the Department of the Interior Ottawa, or to any Agent or Sub-Agent of Dominion Lands. W. W. CORY, Deputy Minister of the Interior.
