The eel JSfedlileii for 2 o'clock and at ,t hour the crowds began to as- ,l,le on foot, in automobiles and sleighs and cutters. However, the l0„eer una not working on schedule owing to an accident to the tle- irri'ers on the- tie train, caused by collision with a pile of timbers belle the grade this side of the bridge. rhile the damage was being repaired ,e crowd waited patiently despite i, cold. Finally, with a few toots ' the whistle the train began to 0ve up towards the Pioneer, which a! about half way between George reet md the end of the bridge. The iceiiary couplings were made, and ien the mechanical track-layer be- in Its onward progress. The people, crowded down on the fade, were kept on the steady go j the Pioneer moved on. Foot by lot, yard by yard, lt moved west- ard over the grade from which the low had been swept beforehand. An idless procssion of ties passed for- ard over the carriers on the right de ot the machine, to be seized as ley reached the front by the tie- uckers, working like a lot of over- :own anta, and flung Into place :ross the grade. The rails moved irward at a more leisurely pace rer the carriers on the left side of ke Pioneer, to be swung out by the irrlek, seized and guided Into place the waiting workers, and bolted lit to the fishplates. lit was a truly representative lowd that assembled to welcome the Reel. The offices of Foley Bros., lelch and Stewart declared a half joliday for the1 occasion and the lores of Foley mi'n who work in Id about headquarters mingled with le crowd. South Fort George and Ion Georg" wore there en masse, j few Indians wandered about look- ■g at the Btrange machine that had fought the railroad, and perhaps liaemberii'.g * 1 • • • ir own predictions lade a year or so ago that the rails lould nevrr come, but that the G. IP.advance guard would pass away fi be forg'itte'ii as did the locators 1 the Canadian Pacific in this dis- llct thirty years ago. 1 Practically every runner vehicle the dislrict was there, cutters, ►Ms and Jumper.. The school Jildren from iho two towns drove ln late, in large vans well padded with lraw- A number of automobiles po did thei: share in bringing peo ple to Bee the steel. Shortly after 2 o'clock when the people had all assembled, the word was passed along that the Pioneer would not be able to work for some time, as it was waiting for a train of steel and ties. The crowd waited patiently, despite the cold, which steadily became more and more intense. At last the train appeared over the bridge but just at this side of the bridge the tie-carriers on the side of the cars collided with a heap of timber, and further delay was entailed while the dannage was being repaired. It was about 3.30 before the tracklaying train was coupled up and the Pioneer began to work. By that timo matiy of the people had gone home to escape the numbing cold, but those who remained felt that they were rewarded for their perseverence. Among the distinctive features of the gathering, which was intended to symbolize the history and growth of the district was a five-dog team belonging to Green Bros. & Burden, land surveyors. The toboggan was loaded with typical surveyor's outfit, while a party accompanied it, with field instruments, axes, chains, etc. The Hudson's Bay company, the pioneer of pioneers in this district, as well as elsewhere in the Canadian west', had its own proper representation. A company of trappers, dressed in touque and ceinture fleche of the habitant, impersonated the early day adventurers who traded through this country for the great company. In spite of the extremely cold weather a brass band of ten pieces was on hand and played a number of selections although the musicians were compelled to edge up to an open fire to keep from freezing. The long delays and the Intensely cold weather prevented the parade from being carried out as planned by the committee," aut in the end the gathering was probably as picturesque and as representative as could have been expected. During the afternoon speeches were made by C. W. Moore, one of the 1907 pioneers, and by H. G. Perry, as president of the Fort George board of trade. W. F. Cooke who represented South Fort George on the committee and was slated for an address, was not able to attend. Mr. Moore said: "This day marks the end of pioneering in the Fort George country. For uncounted ages this has been the home of the moose, the 'bear, the beaver and the rabbit; and of the Indian, whose scanty living elepended upon his skill in trapping and bunting them—pieced out by his oatience and luck in fishing the salmon that came up the rivers to spawn. "That modern magician, the railroad engineer, has spoken his magic word and we now see tne locomotive and the rails of steel—the joint creation of the last century, and without which civilization, as we Know it today, would not be possible. "We are more than thankful in our welcome to the railroad and the men who have built lt. We believe in this place—or we wouldn't be here—we believe it will grow rapidly into the most important inland city of British Columbia. Many of us have'staked our last dollar upon its future. It remains tf us to make our investments win ou( We can do it. We need do but on' thing—that is to work unitedly for rhe upbuilding of our district—we iuve no room here for the knocke.o- Boost! Boost all you please—and boost for your own part of the town, if you prefer—but remember that, when this place reaches even the present growth of Edmonton, or of any one of a dozen western Canadian cities, this .peninsula will be a relatively small site for a city of such importance. Every part of it is good property and will ne worth while improving and developing. It all depends upon us. "I plead for no particular section, for I own property east, west and middle—up the river and down the river; and I hope that every man here has made an investment here according fo his means, for it will make hira money as the city grows. Again •ilcome the Grand Trunk Paeifi tnd thrice welcoming the men whu built it, we all wish you had come sooner, but are glad that you came at all." Mr. Perry said: "Judging by the large and enthusiastic gathering here I think we are all unanimous in the possession of a feeling of pride and satisfaction in seeing the steel right at our doors today. It means that this day marks the greatest epoch in the new history of Central British Columbia. It means the opening up of great possibilities in the development of the resources of this distriet. "We who have seen this country have unbounded faith in the productiveness o? the land around here, awaiting as it has, the mechanical facilities for farming that only cheap transportation can bring. Today means the first real step in the development of the agricultural resources of this district, it means that from now on your pre-emption and your farm land, and incidentally, your town lot will assume a commercial value. "From now on the change from wild lands to farm lands, will begin. Our large timber areas will produce unlimited wealth and find labor in abundance in the camps and mills that will spring up and develop around here. We have our minerals —the possibilities of which no one can foretell, but we do know that i mineral resources will be tapped, and soon with the railroad from coast to coast, from the Atlantic to the Pacific, farm and forest and mine ', will naturally build up a city at the junction of these two rivers, a city ! that will support a large and increasing population, a city that from now must be united in its efforts for progress, a city which I venture to j say, will be second to none In the interior of British Columbia." T' 41 ^*y_ ^^—_ ^^ The Grand Trunk Pacific temporary bridge over the Fraser river here Is today threatened with destruction. Last night the floating ice on the Nechaco river dammed up at the mouth of tho stream, backing the water upstream and flooding the sawmill flat by the townsite on the Nechaco. This morning the jam burst, and the floes drove against the pilings of the temporary bridge. At noon today four of the pile supports had been carried away, and some twenty-five of them damaged. The report was current that the ice on the Fraser was threatening to run. If it does the doom of the bridge is sealed. At present several scows are piled in against the piling of the bridge and the ice is threatening to do still greater damage. It is a curious coincidence that the bridge should be imperilled the very day after steel was laid into the terminals of the G.T.P. here. The Pioneer ls or. this side of the ■ river and Is isolated, as the bridge is 'now impassible and will be until the 'damage has been repaired. The flood on the Nechaco rose as far as the warehouses at Foley's and caused some damage there. This afternoon the ice jam was forming again and there was every likelihood of a recurrence of the flood. This morning it seemed as though the untimely rise of the water might have tragic consequences. A family named Davidson, who conduct a j laundry at the Cache across the slough, was marooned by the high I water. The family consists of the man and woman and several children. A force from the offices succeeded in rescuing all by Jumping the ice and | carrying the refugees to dry land. eThe man and woman were both badly ^ chilled as they were in water up to | their waists. ni rai CT FROM MEXICO. Will Open Agency for the Ford Automobile Huerta will not resign until a foreign power forcibly compels him to do so. Such is the opinion of Edward Hall, who arrived in South Fort George last week from Mexico City. Mr. Hall, who Is accompanied by his wife and son, will reside here permanently and is opening an agency for the Ford automobile. I left the Mexican capital on January 1, on the only railroad that had not been seized by the rebels," stated Mr. Half, "and learned that a few days later communication on that line was cut off." Asked if he thought the rebels on gaining power, would establish constitutional government, he said he believed that they would be little better than the present party In power. While Carranza, the rebel leader was, no doubt, opposed to the barbarous methods of his followers, General Villa, his second ' in command, was a typical maurader and his usual method of dealing iwith those captured was to force them to dig their own graves and then shoot them so they will fall Into them. Fear of Huerta rather than respect for him keeps his followers in line and his recent act in the imprisonment of 72 of his deputies is but a fair sample of the boldness with which he carries out his plans. In such straightened circumstances financially, has Huerta been that he has been compelled to raise the tax on foreign imports by 50 per cent, and the duty alone on a Ford automobile now is .675. There is a general financial stringency throughout Mexico, declared Mr. Hall, and men with fortunes, in a few weeks, have been reduced to poverty. Conditions in Mexico will never be restored to their proper basis until a foreign power intervenes and sets up a constitutional government.

Overwhelming respect for long pedigree was lost on coming to Canada. It was the man himself, not his grandfather, that counted. We hope we deserve the commendation, and yet we can learn something of citizenship from the so-called first families of Great Britain. Their members have always recognized the right of their country to call upon them for service. Something of this idea permeates all classes in the old country and may it be one of the thines they bring to Canada. Thp deepest horror of the drink traffic is Wt behind.

The application will doubtless be presented to the chief game warden of the province, G. Turner, of Barkerville; a deputy game warden and a prominent mining man are behind the project. He arrived in town yesterday, and is now- preparing his case on behalf of the animals for presentation before the proper authorities. Mr. Turner states that the animals have congregated in the area referred to on account of the railway construction work on the Pacific Great Eastern, and adds that unless some action is taken by the government toward their protection it is more than probable that the stock will be considerably depleted by the influx of settlers, many of whom hall from the other side, and, as he says, are unversed in the local sentiment concerning game protection. According to the scheme which he has mapped out, it would be necessary for the government to create a game preserve covering an area of some thirty by i twenty miles, embracing the wonder- 1 ful system of lakes, named respectively, Spectacle, Bear, Isaaca, Sandy land Wing, also Connection Valley on the southwest side of Cariboo Moun- | tain. Mr. Turner states that the district is now full of moose, cariboo, I grizzly bears (black and brown), deer, cougar, mountain goats and I sheep, ptarmigan, all kinds of grouse and other feathered game. WILLIAM WILLIAMB. JOHN' .MacDONKLL, Agsnt. Dated 21et Julv, 1913. Victoria, Jan. 24.—(Special.)— Speaking at a meeting of the provincial Conservative association at Victoria today, Premier McBride said that British Columbia had come through the financial crisis in splendid shape. The outlook was bright and business picking up everywhere. This is the place for the optimist. "We bid defiance to calamity,," he said. McBride Wants the Yukon Victoria, Jan. 24.—The addition of the enormously wealthy territory of the Yukon is to be made to the province of British Columbia if negotiations now in progress between Sir Richard McBride and the government at Ottawa go through. That the negotiations are pending is stated here on unimpeachable authority. BATHS Porcelain tub. .Hotel Robarts. A. FRASER, M.P.P., ASKS BE' 'Ii: POSTAL FACILITIES n 16 —John A.

Mr. Fraser has been visiting some of these places for the past tew days. He represents one of the largest constituencies In point of area In British Columbia, which includes Fort George. Asked regarding the legislation pending at Victoria he remarked that he did not think the session would be long or important.

We have a hat to match your face and under which you can pass as a man among men. We do not want you to forget that there is a great deal of truth in the old proverb which says that "Fine feathers make fine birds," but it i* the hat that makes the man.

"1 have been Informed that the Dominion Government and the Pacific Great Eastern practically came to an agreement," said Mr. Bowser, "but the P.G.E. has yet to conclude with the provincial arthorities. We claim absolute rights to the l'ore- Bhore, and the strength of our rights, in contra distinction to these of the Dominion Government, is a matter for the courts. Nothing will be done by the British Columbia Government towards settling with the railway company until the return of Vice- President Tate from England. We have stated the terms upon which we are willing to deed over our rights to a section of the foreshore at Newport, and when Mr. Tate comes back the negotiations will probably be continued." It was evident from the tone of the statements made by the attorney- gereeral that the course of action be- in"; pursued by the railway company is to settle with both governments rather than to close with one and leave the question of actual ownership as between the two governments with the courts. It is believed here that the .2,- 000,000, which it is said that the P.G.E. has promised to the Ottawa authorities to upend in harbor Improvements at Newport is practically the only consideration extended in affairs in many of the other provinces where, in addition to the provincial university, there ate several others, with the result that higher educational effort is not centred in building up any one college.

Jan. 22.-—(Special.) — Speculators who have-purchased land Irom the British Columbia government are about $'3,000,000 behind In their payments and the government Is now anxious to clear matters up. The suggestion has been made that the government give clear title to the purchasers for the amount of land they have paid for, and that the rest be taken back by the crown. One difficulty with this scheme is that numbers of the original purchasers have subdivided and sold parcels of the land. To forfeit this land would squeeze the small hold- i very severely. WU l.

Premier McBride referred to private bills- covering changes to the Municipal Act in accordance with the suggestion of the Municipal Government Commission. He said that the legislation laid over from last year would be brought forward again. It provides, among other things, for government by commission and board of control, where thought desirable by the municipal districts concerned. The consolidation of the game laws together with incorporation of measures designed to protect game to as great extent as feasible are to be carried out at this session. There will also be some trust company legislation to provide additional restrictions upon companies desiring to do a trust business. The Premier would not say what railway legislation would be introduced, or whether there would be any at all.

At Johnson's request Wright got his brother Alfred to leave his place on Vancouver Island and come up to work on the section. Upon Alfred's arrival Johnson Informed him that he had been instructed to reduce his gang and that he had no place for the newcomer. John Wright then decided to quit and take his brother and live on his ranch. He asked Johnson to divide up the stock of groceries, he being entitled to a one-third share. The stock was worth about $200. Johnson said he had no time then, so the boys left and went back on Sunday to get the goods. They talked to Johnson through the closed door of Johnson's cabin. Threatens t Shoot Johnson again said he had not time to divide the provisions and told the Wright's that if they did not go away he would shoot, and without further warning he fired with a rifle through the shut door. The bullet struck Alfred in the face, boring a whole through the cheek, tongue and throat. While the wound is an ugly one the report from the hospital is that there is no immediate danger. \\\\ .A.VlfcelJ Waitress, apply Smith's Waffle House, Hamilton Avenue.

W. T. Shatford was elected president. In a congratulatory review of the progress of the Canadian prairie west, George Bury, vice- president of the Canadian Pacific Railway, gives the following summary of the western country's greatest need: "What is needed in this country is a strong organization of producers, led with moderation and sagacity, which will make for proper methods of production and distribution, and which will make prices and all other conditions more stable and uniform. If we really believe the statement we are always making that the future of this country is bound up in the productivity of its soil, why should we hesitate at anything which would mean the largest possible yield with the largest possible return to the producer ? We talk much of the ultimate consumer, let us also think of the primary producer."
