The plans are now ready, and work will be commenced about March 1 on the construction of a large, magnificent hotel building, to which the new part of the Somass hotel will be attached; giving to the new city of Port Alberni the best hotel, outside of Vancouver or Victoria, in British Columbia. A. E. Waterhouse, owner of the Somass, is at the back of this pretentious enterprise which will appear, when completed, as shown in the sketch printed above. The new structure will front on Kingsway and Argyle streets, extending along the latter to the lane between the Waterhouse and Watson properties, and to make way for this the old part of the hotel, where the bar-room is located, the postoffice, and A. E. Waterhouse & Co.'s general store, will be removed. The building, which with interior fittings and furnishings, will cost in the neighborhood of one hundred thousand dollars, will be three stories with basement. The basement and first storey will be of re-inforced concrete, and the two upper stories of pressed brick. The first storey will be divided into stores, with a main entrance to the hotel, through a spacious hall, from Argyle street. The two upper stories will be divided into bed-rooms which, together with the rooms in the present building will allow accommodation for about one hundred and fifty guests. Several of the new rooms will have individual bath-rooms, a running water service throughout the house having been arranged for. All the rooms will be equipped with the most modern call and lighting systems. The contract is in the hands of Geo. C. Mesher & Co,, of Victoria, who built the Somass about three years ago. As many workmen as space will accommodate will be put on the job in order to have the building ready for opening by the time the Summer tourist travel commences. Mr. and Mrs. Scoffin, of Vancouver, are registered at the Somass. They intend to take up their residence in Port Alberni. Charles Dorman, manager of the Canadian Pacific company's lumber mill in Port Alberni, returned on Wednesday from a business trip to Vancouver.

Bannell & Welham opposite school House Third Avenue Interest In Masquerade. All who have attended the masquerade balls given in the past in Alberni, as well as many who have only heard of these enjoyable events, are naturally taking a keen interest in the function to be given in Whyte's hall, under the auspices of the Alberni Football club, on Friday, Feb. 16. The ball is being advertised along the E. & N. railway line as far as Parksville from where a number of people are expected to attend as on previous occasions. The management commitiee has had an early start, and with the opportunities offered at Pineo's stores to obtain costumes, as well as the time given for designs to be executed at home, there should be a grand spectacle and satis- sactory arrangements for unlimited enjoyment on the night of Friday, Feb. 16. The best dance music obtainable will be provided and a splendid supper will be spread at midnight. Smoke the Enterprise Cigar. The Provincial government has engaged as consulting forester for British Columbia, Overton W. Price, who was in large measure responsible for the organization of the United States foresty service, while Gifford Pinchot will also lend his friendly supervision and co-operation and will visit the province in this connection some time during the coming summer. Meetings In Both Towns To Discuss Hospital Proposition. It is up to every good citizen to mark Wednesday next in his or her date book for the public meeting to be held in the Port Alberni theater for the purpose of discussing the West Coast general hospital scheme which is now in the hands of a joint committee of the Alberni and Port Alberni boards of trade. The people of Port Alberni will be asked to elect a committee to succeed the committee appointed by the board of trade and to act with representatives of Alberni and other places in this district in proceeding with the work of having a modern and commodious hospital built on the site donated by the Land company for that purpose. There seems to have been a misunderstanding on the part of one of the Port Alberni Committee men in regard to the attitude of the people of Alberni in regard to continuing the hospital proposition jointly. The chairman of the Port Alberni committee has been given to understand that the people of Alberni generally are in favor of continuing on the original understanding. To make this matter clear a public meeting of the people of Alberni, to be held in the Court House, has been called for Thursday next at 8 p. m. New Barber Shop. J. Goodall arrived this week from Wainwright, Alta., and will open a new barber shop in Port Alberni within the next few days. He has rented parlors in the front of the Watson cottage building, Argyle street and First avenue. His equipment is on the way from Vancouver and should arrive in time to permit of the shop being opened next week.

McN. Lowe for the most suitable design to Mrs. Thos. Collinge. The prize sketch is a work of art and clearly conveys the main advertising ideas of the committee. New Store For Third Ave. F. J.

Characteristic of the self-centered spirit of the people of the city of Victoria, which is situated on a heel of Vancouver Island, the council of that city has confidently entered on an endeavor to secure the support of the rest of the island in its selfish aim in the matter of railway connection with the mainland. The editor of the Pioneer News is in receipt of the following letter, and copy of resolution, which has also been sent by the clerk of the municipality of Victoria to various other newspapers. Sir: I have the honor to transmit herewith for your information a copy of a resolution adopted by the Municipal Council on the 22nd inst. with reference to this matter.. As you will note, by the terms of the resolution, the committee was empowered to add to its number representatives of public bodies in the City, Corporations, Municipalities and Districts on Vancouver Island, I am to inform you that your name has been added to the committee, and that the committee will again meet on Thursday next, the 1st day of February, 1912, in the Council Chamber, City Hall, Victoria, at 3 p.m. You are urgently requested to be present, I have the honor to be, Sir, your obedient servant W. J. Dowler. City is suffering through lack of railway connections of "Whereas this with the Mainland : "And whereas the Dominion of Canada has signified its intention providing adequate facilities for Victoria as a national port: "And whereas it was the original intention of the Dominion Government to make Esquimalt the terminus of the trans-continental railway. " Be it therefore resolved that a Special committee, consisting of the Mayor, and Aldermen Okell, Gleason, Anderson and Dilworth be appointed with power to add representatives of other public bodies in the City, and of corporations, municipalities and districts on Vancouver Island, to its number, to secure all reports and necessary information which can be obtained in reference to this subject with the object of forming such information into a memorial to be presented to the Dominion and Provincial governments, praying that Vancouver Island and the City of Victoria be connected by rail over a series of bridges at Seymour Narrows, with the Mainland, of "British Columbia." The editor of the Pioneer News, for the best of reasons, has ignored the distinction that the Victoria City council so presumptuously figured he would fall victim to. The proposition to bridge Seymour Narrows and give Vancouver island connection with the mainland is one that everybody interested in this important part of British Columbia will naturally support, but to support it for the particular benefit of Victoria would not' be in the best interests of Island development generally. Such action on the part of people in the center and northern parts of the island, would be stupidity likely to result in the expenditure of millions of dollars to their own material disadvantage. It may or may not have been—it is a disputed point—"the original intention of the Dominion government to make Esquimalt the terminus of the transcontinental railway," but if such a strategical blunder was averted about thirty years ago there can be no good excuse for it happening in this age of more geographical enlightenment. The Victoria Colonist recently printed a map showing a proposed line of railway crossing Seymour Narrows and running down the east coast to a terminus for Pacific shipping at Esquimalt. Had there been shown on this same map a proposed and feasible route of railway, from the bridge almost straight across the island to Port Alberni at the head of Alberni canal, about a distance of forty miles, the Esquimalt idea would have looked absurd in comparison. The waterway from Port Alberni, clear and deep, and safe for the largest passenger or freight ship going full speed all the way, runs almost directly south to the Pacific ocean, and is in direct, continuous line of transportation from the mainland to the Panama canal, Australia, China or Japan. It is time the people of this and other parts of Vancouver island should awaken to the fact that Victoria is using all the political pressure it can bring to bear in an effort to draw transportation propositions away from the lines of least resistance, and that in the use of this pressure the Victorians are causing it to be assumed that all the rest of the Island is with them in their ambition. A proposition to spend over a million dollars of public money to make an artificial harbor at Victoria is now taking shape while this natural harbor and natural outlet to the Pacific is being overlooked by the Dominion government. Our representative at Ottawa needs to be advised of this fact and given to understand that we are not in sympathy with Victoria's unnatural claims. In recognition of the many subtle knocks the Victoria Colonist has designedly handed Alberni canal and Barclay sound let it be proclaimed that none of the serious wrecks that have happened on the south-west coast of Vancouver island were of ships making for these waters, but of ships endeavoring to enter the straits of Juan de Fuca the Victoria waterway to and from the Pacific. Rumors, concerning possible candidates in the Alberni electoral district for the Provincial house, are beginning to be whispered about. It is said.that Mr. Brewster will not seek re-election, but will endeavor to secure the Liberal nomination for John Oliver in which event the main fighting strength of the Opposition will be thrown into this constituency. On the Conservative side the names of J. spoken of. G. C. Wood, Richard Wallace, of Nanoose, and M. Tebo, are One difference between government and private ownership of public utilities in this district is that the C. P. R. will send a ten-word telegram to Vancouver for 25 cents in quicker time than the government will send the same message for a charge of 50 cents. INCORPORATION spells advanced values in property.

To say that the Parksville Dramatic society, which performed in the Port Alberni theater, on Monday night, made good the reputation vouchsafed in its advance notices, is saying a whole lot that is creditable, but the most exacting critic could scarcely find excuse for saving less. The -theater was more than packed. There was use, before the curtain went up, for the "Standing-Room-Only"sign, and as much, or more, use for it before the performance was over. The show opened with a one-act farce entitled "Just My Luck," and while it was excellently presented, and caused all the laughs anticipated, it was only a mild forerunner for the farce "My Turn Next," which followed. R. M. Custance, manager of the society, had the leading role in both sketches and was a whole show in himself. He is a comedian of such ability as easily finds recognition in professional companies. He not only acted, but also found opportunity to sing, and his singing provoked vociferous encores. Mr. Custance was supported by a thoroughly rehearsed and well balanced company of ladies and gentlemen who had paid marked attention to the detail of suitable costume and ably impersonated character of interesting and amusing types. Between the'two farces Mr. Custance and Miss Custance (Mrs. J. Nicol) sang and acted a humorous duet entitled "The Naggletons," which made a tremendous hit and provoked applause that called for more. S. C. Bennett and Thomas Collinge, local vocalist, also sang in the interval and were loudly encored. The ladies and gentlemen who supported Mr. Custance on the stage were: Mrs. Nichol, Mrs. Custance, Miss M. Reade, Miss J. Hickey, Messrs. L. Young, R. Rushton and C. Langton. As a rule the weakness of amateur companies lies with the ladies, but in this case the balance was a notable feature. The ladies were all possessed of charming stage presence and were refreshingly gowned. There was an entire absence of stage embarrassment or distressed looks in the direction' of the prompter's hiding place. H. A. Gray, coronet; Mr. McKim, violin; and Miss Wright, piano, composed the orchestra and played music that sounded pleasantly familiar to people who have heard the overtures in more pretentious play houses. At the conclusion of the performance Manager Custance expressed his appreciation of the audience, and said he hoped that some day soon a Port Alberni or Alberni dramatic society would . visit Parksville when they would be assured of patronage as generous as had been extended. The audience was invited to remain after the show and enjoy a dance. The majority accepted the invitation and the dancing lasted till about two o'clock in the morning. As the train was pulling out the following morning the troupe, assembled on the platforms, gave three cheers for the people of Port Alberni, and lustily sang "For They Are Jolly Good Fellows." AGENT FOR Hudson's Bay Fire Insurance Co. Cunard Steamship Co. Donaldson Steamship Co. Cement Bricks and Blocks. A. D. COOPER, Real Estate, - Port Alberni Port Alberni Extension Plans of E. & N. Railway. Commenting on the fact that the E. & N. Railway Co. has filed plans for an extension of its line from Port Alberni to Sproat and Great Central lakes, the Victoria Colonist says: It is expected thafconstruction of this branch will be proceeded with during the current season. The line will penetrate a country of considerable pictur- esqueness, abounding in both furred and feathered game, and will make accessible and contributary to traffic very considerable areas of timbered and agricultural land. While no announcement has been made upon this phase of the mater, it is generally understood that the intention of the company is to continue this branch at the earliest date, by way of a pass now being sought by the company's surveyors in the field, on to the new provincial Strathcona park at Buttle Lake. There is a possibility also that connection will naturally be made somewhere in this locality with the company's main line up the east coast to the north end of the Island, construction of which is now being arranged for as far as Duncan Bay. Both Sproat and Great Central lakes are well known as among the most delightful sections of British Columbia for Summer residence, their scenic, hunting and fishing attractions being of the highest order. Already all favorable cottage sites at Sproat lake" have been taken up the majority by well-to- do Vancouverites. E. CARVELL. Contractor and Builder Architect PORT ALBERNI, B. C Mountain Road Is Good For Automobiles The first automobile to cross the Summit this year came in on Tuesday. It was driven all the way from Victoria by R. Rodgers who had as passengers Percy Winch, the Crand Duke cigar manufacturer, and Percy Hallett who travels for Robertson & Co., makers of a popular brand of Scotch whisky. Mr. Winch, who has driven his own car into Port Alberni many times, said the condition of the mountain road was a great surprise to him. The highway was in splendid condition all the way through from the Capital City, and never before, Spring, Summer, Fall or Winter, was the passage over the big hill easier. This condition is accounted for by the fact that since the inauguration of the E. & N. train service, and during the wet season, there has been little or no traffic and no heavy freighting over the wagon road. The automobile party left the same day, in the evening, for Cumberland. According to the present plans the Canadian Pacific, Grand Trunk Pacific and Canadian Northern Railway companies will spend, between them, fifty millions of dollars on extensions in Western Canada this year.
