The New Alberni Social club which has conducted a number of successful dances this season, added to its fame on New Year's eve by giving a ball and supper that was enjoyed by as many people as the large hall could accomodate with comfort. It was the most brilliant function of the season, and others will have to be on a grand scale to eclipse it. The hall was elaborately and tastefully decorated with flags, bunting and festoons of Oriental design, and the floor was, as usual, in the best of condition. The music was furnishsd by Mrs. Ward and George Ward, and was highly pleasing to all. Alex Wood was in charge of the ceremonies, and acquitted himself in a manner that caused everybody to be perfectly satisfied. Supper, prepared by ladies of the club, was served at midnight, and dancing was continued till after 3 o'clock in the morning. There was a large representation from the old town. Again in Commission. The ship Tasmanian is again in commission with Alberni as its home port. Capt. E. Parsons, who with Mrs. Parsons, arrived from Victoria on Thursday, is in command, and J. Cart- wright will be engineer. The Tasmanian will engage in a general towing and freighting business. Camp on Drinkwater Farm Is Now About Ready to Make Its Final Move—Signs of Early Activity at This End of the Line Cause Optimistic Feeling. In weather unfit for the work the men of the C. P. R. location party, which is now camped on the Drinkwater farm, Beaver Creek, and operating under the direction of H. H. Browne, C. E., are taking every advantage of the daylight to get the line of survey ready as soon as possible for the right of way contractors who are waiting for a chance to commence operations at this end of the route. Some day next week, it is expected, the location camp will be moved to a point between Old and New Alberni where the party will be in sight of an early finish of its labors. The few miles of location yet to be marked are not difficult, and once the men are prepared to move from their present camp they will have almost completed their operations. It is reported from Vancouver that a contract for 22 miles of construction has been let by the Canadian Pacific Railway company, and that the awarding of contracts for the entire con- tension from Wellington to New Alberni will be done as soon as the ground is cleared of its trees. The people of Alberni are becoming fully awake to the fact that the day of commencement of construction at this end is no further off than the most sanguine of them ever expected, and the determination of the officials of the railway company to rush the building with all possible speed has filled the local atmosphere with all sorts of optimism. Merchants of the town have already felt the beneficial effects of right of way camps in this vicinity, and they are looking forward to and preparing for an early rush of trade such as has never before been experienced in this community. The railway is coming and with it will come such prosperous times for Alberni as will make a large part of the commercial world sit up and take note of its importance.

There was a big attendance of labor- iug men. It was proposed that if there is no legal machinery to have the police go through all the houses in the Japanese quarter to search for knives and revolvers and thorougly disarm the Japanese, then the laboring men should themselves arm with revolvers in case of emergency. The situation is admittedly serious in the view of labor men and the declaration was made that the mayor and civic authorities are "chattering their teeth" and fearful to act lest they should offend the Japanese government or the consul.

Petitions to the Dominion government and the Pacific Cable board pray* ing for the removal of the cable station from Bamfield to Alberni, have been drawn up by William Roff, and have been left at the various stores in town for signatures. Now that a practical start has been made in this movement it is to be hoped that a proper spirit of interest will be shown, and that the name of every eligible person in the two Albernis will be attached to the petitions without delay. The petition to the Dominion government will be given to our representative, William Sloan, for presentation at Ottawa, and he should be possessed of it in time to allow him to do some effective work in support of it while the present session of parliament is on. in the public interest. They had demonstrated this in connection with the other resources of the province in the past. Their chief endeavor in the past had been thai, the resources of the province should make a proper return to the provincial treasury. Despite the reckless charges of the government's political opponents, they have always been successfully answered and the government stands as it has always stood for the conservation of the natural resources of the pacific province for the people of that province. He was satisfied that lumbermen as well as laymen would concur in the action of the government. In view of the depletion of the timber resources of Eastern Canada as well as the Eastern and Southern States, the government had regarded their present move as advisable. Ample timber has been staked to supply the mills of the province for years to come. With regard to the question of forest protection, Premier McBride stated that the intention of the chief commissioner was to take the utmost precautions to have the forests as thoroughly protected as was possible. BOARD OF TRADE. Owing to the absence from town of one of the promoters of the movement to organize a board of trade nothing has been done this week in the way of calling a meeting, but the question has been generally discussed among the business men of the community, and the proposition seems to be unanimously favored. The value of such a representative and politically independent body to Alberni should be appreciated at this stage of the town's existence when so many questions of vital importance are being presented, RESERVE ON TIMBER. A reserve has been placed on all the unstaked timber of British Columb'a by the provincial government. The order-in-coucil bringing this into effect was signed on Dec. 24 at a meeting of the provincial executive. The decision is in order that the forest wealth of the province may be conserved and to prevent timber being staked merely for speculative purposes. In all some 6,500,000 acres of timber land in the province have been staked and the revenue from this for the last fiscal year amounted to over $1,275,000. Though the area of the total timber lands of the province is estimated at over 182,000,000 acres this is regarded as an excessive figure and at all events that which has been taken up is either the most accessible or the most valuable. The mere staking of timber does not insure the marketing of the product immediately, as the licensee has 21 years in which to strip his lands. Many of the holdings have been purchased by speculators who look to turning it over and not to handling it themselves. It is thought that the new order-in-council will encourage the bona fide logger to purchase and manufacture the product, in this way ensuring a supply of lumber for the development which the province is undergoing and will undergo in the approaching years. Any move to hold up the millmen can be met by the mere removal of the reserve, and the millmen of the province have already secured a large , proportion of the timber now staked. Premier McBride on being interviewed, by a Colonist reporter, said that he felt satisfied that when the chief commissioner of lands and works presented his views to the people of British Columbia there would not be two opinions offered as to the wisdom of the move. The only end sought by the government was what was best ALBERNI LAND DISTRICT District of Nootka. Take Notice that Frank Engler, of Victoria, B.
