IV, NO. 20 HAZELTON, B. C, SATURDAY, JANUARY 16, 1915 PRICE $2.00 A YEAR v HAZELTON WIN RUSSIANS CONTINUE TO ADVANCE ITALY SUFFERS Smithers Goes Under in First Two Hockey League Games The hockey season was officially opened in Hazelton on Tuesday night, with Smithers as the visiting team. The divisional point sent along a weak team, and having had no ice to practice on before they left, the result of the game was never in doubt. The score was 8-0 in favor of the Hazelton boys, and would have been a great deal larger but for the sensational work of Cran- dall in goal for Smithers. Of Hazelton's eight goals, Hume scored 5, Kinghorn 1, Mc- Dougal 1, and McKay 1. Owing to the leniency of the officials, the game developed into an exhibition of slashing, tripping, charging and crosschecking. In the last period the game had to called at one stage to prevent a free-foi-all fight, and just before the final whistle, O'Shea was laid out by a blow over the head with a hockey stick while on his knees on the ice. McKay replaced O'Shea and scored the last goal for Hazelton after 30 second's play. The teams lined upas follows: HAZELTON SMITHERS Taylor goal C rand all O'Shea point Gogne Kinghorn. cover Keddie P.

The costumes were many and varied, a number in costume coming from New Hazelton. The band played, there were races and a broomolo game, and refreshments were served. The'1 following were prize winners:��� Ladies' costume, Mrs. Sealy, as a witch; ' gentlemen's costume, Mr. Kirby, as a Hindu Sowar (cavalry). Sustained character, Kathleen Allen, as Chinese lady: Children's costumes, Roby Anderson and Ernest Kirby, as imps. Buck Irwin won the men's race, Maggie Allen the ladies', and Cooper Wrinch and Roby Anderson won the children's races. Adair Carss, counsel for May, the Hazelton Indian convicted of murder, is appealing the case, on the ground that certain evidence was wrongly admitted, and that the judge exceeded his right of comment in his charge to the jury. GERMANS SUCCESSFUL ON AISNE- BUKOWINA OCCUPIED BY RUSSIANS Petrograd, Jan. 16:���On the right bank of the lower Vistula the Russians continue to advance, driving the German cavalry outposts before them. Since yesterday's report, the Russians have moved another score of miles westward, and are now about twenty miles north of the city of Plock. No information can be given as to the strength of the Russian forces moving westward, north of the Vistula, but it appears they are well ahead of any German movements in this region since they have encountered only cavalry patrols. As yet the Germans have had the advantage of a perfectly open and level country, whereas the country covered by the Russians .s heavily wooded and much broken with hills, providing an admirable ground for defence against superior forces. There has been noticed several times a certain nervousness on the part of the Germans, concerning their flank. This is protected by the broad Vistula river, only bridged at Plock and Vlotslavsk, but there are half a dozen places where crossing could be affected by an enterprising force taking advantage of the islands which narrow the fairway pretty considerably. The Germans made one attempt to cross the Vistula, but totally failed. The Russians, after waiting until the bridge was nearly ready, and a number of Germans already across on an Island, suddenly swept them away with their artillery. London: ��� A Petrograd des- I patch to the Havas agencv states I that it is reported from Sebasto- ipool, that the Russian fleet, dur- ! ing the last few days, sank eight : sailing vessels which were transporting reinforcements to the ; Turkish army in Asia Minor. London:���How the Russians Igtfined command of the most I important position in the Carpa- ! thian passes by daring exploits, I is told by the Petrograd corres- ! pondent of the Times. The nat- | ive Caucasian troops, holding ! to the tails of their hardy mountain ponies, are said to have scaled I at night, an apparently impassible t summit, gaining the rear of the I Honved battalion, which was surprised and surrounded. The Grand Duke Michael was among the Russian soldiers in the thick I of the fighting. STORY OF THE GREAT WAR TOLD DAY BY DAY London, Jan. 11:���The limes asserts that sixteen German aeroplanes were seen over the English Channel on Sunday morning. Evidently they contemplated a raid on England but apparently the pilots found conditions too bad to continue the journey, for they returned in the direction of Dunkirk. Immense preparations for a general advance, which cannot be far distant, are being made by the French and British forces in Northern France and Flanders. Details of preparations are not permitted to be given, although many of the preparations cannot have escaped observation. A despatch to the Daily Express from Boulogne asserts that confirmation has been obtained that the Germans have evacuated Lille, and that city is now virtually in possession of the British. The liklihood of a break between Turkey and Italy over the unwillingness of the Ottoman government to comply fully with the demands for reparations for the Hodeida incident, is regarded here as of the utmost importance. Turkey, according to the Italian ultimatum, must apologize for the arrest of the British consul at Hodeida, and must also salute the Italian flag. Rio Janeiro:���The Havas agency has received no confirmation of the reported naval battle between the British cruiser Invincible and the German cruiser Von Der Tann off the South American coast. Naval officials here place little credence in the report. Petrograd, Jan. 11:���A semi official statement says: "In the Black Sea engagement, between Turkish and Russian warships, on Jan. 6, the Turkish cruisers Breslau and Hamidieh were badly damaged. Geneva, Jan. 11:���The struggle in Alsace continues in spite of heavy rains, there being more than a' foot of water in the trenches. The Germans have already lost 6,000 killed and wounded. Bolfort, the great French fortress is filled with prisoners, mostly men over forty years of age. Steinbach has been taken and retaken six different times, but is now in the hands of the French. Paris, Jan. 11:���The following statement was issued today: "The French government announces that, because the Germans are holding French surgeons and nurses, France will hereafter expatriate German surgeons and nurses held as prisoners, only in proportion to the return of French surgeons and nurses who are held prisoners by Germany. The government will in future accord German prisoners only the same treatment accorded French prisoners held by Germany. London, Jan. 12:���The Daily Mail's correspondent telegraphs from Rome: "The whole of the Austrian Crown land of Bukowina has now been regularly occupied by Russian infantry, who have replaced Cossacks." A large number of Austrian soldiers who have doserted are seeking refuge' in Roumania. Most of them had arms of an extremely old pattern which are practically useless. Paris:���An Athens despatch says the situation of the Greeks in Asia Minor is becoming desperate, owing to the persecution and violence to'which they are being subjected. Greek stores have been pillaged, women insulted and men forcibly enrolled in the army at^Sidnoa. At Magnesia, several Greeks have been murdered in the streets and conditions are so bad in Smyrna that a massacre is feared. According to advices received from Athens it is reported in the Greek capital that the plan to have the eighth army corps proceed from Damascus to the Egyptian frontier has been abandoned. London: The Daily Mail correspondent telegraphs from Petrograd: "Along the Kawka, west of the Vistula, in the woods and marsh land which border the the stream, the Germans are si 111 pouting men into that bottomless sack which the Russians hold out for them, for they always try to fight the Russians in the open. The Germans are still hammering away at the same point along a front of a few miles without any obvious tactical idea. The belief is gaining ground that they recognize the impossibility of taking Warsaw. The methods the Germans are adopting suggest that they do not quite know what to do. The military critic of the Russy Slovo quotes an army order said to have been issued by the German staff conducting operations in Poland. This order repudiates the idea of at- j tacking the extremely large Russian force which is defending (Continued mi I'ugu Four) Severe Earthquake Destroys Towns and Villages���Many Persons Killed Rome, Jan. 14:���Italy has a- gain been visited by an earthquake of great extent, which, according to latest advices has destroyed many towns and villages and resulted in the death of 12,000 persons and injury of possibly 20,000 more. The shock was the strongest Rome has felt in many years. Coroner's Inquest At the Elphinstone inquest, held Friday afternoon, the jury, after bringing in a verdict that deceased came to his death through exposure and exhaustion made the following recommendation:���"We recommend to the Yukon Telegraph Service that the shelter cabins between stations and half-way stations, be fully supplied and maintained, so as to afford ample shelter for their employes. County Court At the sitting of the County court on the 14th, the following cases were disposed of. F. M. Bard vs. B. R. Jones & Co. Judgement for Bard for $98.60. Broughton and McNeil vs. F. Strauss. Judgement for Broughton and McNeil for $172.30. The Williams-Carr Lumber Co. vs. Carter case was retransferred to Prince Rupert. F. D. Eason of Smithers was granted a certificate of naturalization by Judge Young.

SERIOUS FIRE IN SMITHERS Smithers, Jan. 14:-The Methodist Church and parsonage here were completely destroyed by fire last night. The fire is thought to have started from an overheated stovepipe. The buildings and contents are a total loss, with the exception of the piano and organ. The loss is estimated at $3,700, with insurance on the church of $1,000. At New Hazelton on Monday night, the home team defeated Smithers 4-1 in a listless game. New Hazelton had Warner on the forward line, and E. Harris in goal, Smithers-playing practically the same team as against Hazelton. The date of the Pound Dance, announced for the 22nd, has been changed to Wednesday the 20th, and will be held after the I hockey game with New Hazelton on that night.

No. 20 In accordance with the very useful practice he has followed for many years, Sir Richard McBride reviews the conditions prevailing in the Province during the year that has just closed. What he has to say is of very great interest and extremely gratifying. Among the statements made by him is one relating to the problem of unemployment. The Government has made an effort to arrive at the facts in this connection, and the conclusion reached is that the unemployed do not exceed four or at the most, 5 per cent of the population, a state of things that ought to be and will doubtless be a source of profound satisfaction. Such a situation can be readily handled, and it is satisfactory to know that the I Government is doing everything it can do to meet emergencies as they arise. Sir Richard's view of industrial conditions is full of reasons for an optimistic outlook. What he says about mining, which during the year has been subjected to unexpected contingencies, shows upon how sound a basis this great industry rests. In respect to the lumber interests he very properly points out that the depression in this line does not arise out of the war, but had its origin in conditions culminating before the beginning of hostilities His hope that some relief will be found by the negotiation of a reciprocity treaty with Australia is undoubtedly well founded. Special interest attaches to what he says in respect of our fisheries. This industry has grown apace, but it is very far from | having reached its possible development. We are especially impressed with what he says about the herring fishery, which we have always thought would be found to be a source of great wealth to the Province. Sir Richard finds many causes for congratulation in the progress of the various branches of agriculture during the past year. In spite of all that has been said by critics hostile to the Government, agriculture in British Columbia is growing greatly in importance, and we are confident that the experience of 1914 will give a greater impatu-i to this department of industry in British Columbia than it has ever before leceived. In his message the Premier reviews briefly what has been done in the way of railway construction during the year. It is a very fine showing, and in view of the vast sum of money that has been expended in this way during the past year, it certainly seems exceedingly fortunate that he was able to bring into effect his railway policy at the time he did. If he had waited, we fear that a long time would have elapsed before the results achieved could have been accomplished.���Colonist. This district has always been treated to fairly clean hockey games, until Tuesday's exhib- tion. There have been rough games, but for deliberate dirty work, the game in question, which developed into a free fight, and culminated in one of the players being carried off the ice from a deliberate assault, is a new departure, and one that calls for drastic action. It is an indisputable fact that bad feeling in sport is cumulative, and Tuesday's play clearly demonstrated it to all present. It is the general impression that if the offending players had been penalized in the early stages of the game, that the regrettable conclusion would not have been reached. However the game is over, and it is now up to the League officials. Upon their action at this time depends, in a great measure, the future success of hockey in this district. What are they going to do a- bout it? g In China an oil well has been drilled to a depth of 3600 feet with the most primitive native tools.

The Empress of Ireland Fund, now closed, reached a total of $425,000, of which Canada con tributed $60,000. bia ports to the Atlantic coast. A cut has been announced in the Grand Trunk wages. It will be from ten to twelve per cent, all round. Labor men say they will invoke the Lemieux Act. Archibald McDonald, the last chief factor of the Hudson's Bay Co., is dead at Fort Qu'Appelle, Sask. He had been with the Hudson's Bay Co. for 57 years. More than one hundred persons were killed and injured in a fire on a subway train in New lork last week. Firemen dynamited the streets to get at the dead and wounded. G. McCrea, of Scotland, won the Powderhall fifreen-mile marathon race at Edinburgh. Koh- lemainen, the Finnish runner, was second, and Hans Holmer, an American, third. Sir Donald Mann, while in Ottawa on business with the Militia Department, made the definite statement that the Canadian Northern Railway would not apply to parliament this year for additional aid. A movement has been launched in Calgary to promote a vigorous prohibition campaign throughout Alberta, with a view to carrying the province wide plebiscite which will be submitted to the electors in June. Emperor William has given orders that the so-called war bread be served to himself and his entourage. This bread, also styled "K" bread, consists of 85 per cent rye flour and 15 per cent potato flakes. Tho Hudson's Bay Co. has been appointed the general purchasing agent for Canada for the French government. Contracts already placed in Canada for war supplies by Britain and tne Allies total fifty million dollars. The navy list for November omits the names of the German Emperor and his brother, Prince Henry of Prussia, from the list of honorary admirals of the fleet, the Czar being the only foreign sovereign with that rank. A cargo of 1,500,000 feet of lumber is being loaded at Genoa Bay, Vancouver Island, for New York City, by way of the Panama Canal. British Columbia lumber is in great demand in Eastern cities, and it is expected that many other large shipments will be sent from British Colum- A thousand claims have been staked at Rutherglen, forty miles east of North Bay, on the strength of some samples containing an appreciable quantity of platinum. There are other metals found in the ore, but it is in platinum that the greater value lies. Tbe Steel Company of Canada has secured a $1,00,000 order for a special kind of steel for French and British manufactured and it is explained that this will mean the complete reopening of the company's big plant, employing a full staff, and running day and night for several months. CENTRAL FRANCOIS AND OOTSA LAKE ITEMS Messrs. Percy Reid and Bill Poole, of Keefe's Landing, gave a stag party and turkey dinner on New Year's Eve. An enjoyable evening was spent by the large number of friends present. Percy .'Reid and Al. Oborne paid a short visit to the Ootsa Lake country, and were much struck with the general appearance of the district. R. O. Fullbrook has left for an extended visit to Hazelton and Smithers. Johnny Keefe, who went from here to the New Year's dance at the Bennett ranch on Ootsa lake, tells us that there was a record attendance there, especially of ladies, some thirty or forty persons being present. A good time was enjoyed by all, dancing being kept up until a late hour. Jack McLean, who has been building a house for Mr. Norris and family, new arrivals on North Francois Lake and late of Washington, is expected to be in shortly to stay on his ranch. Frank Keefe has built a fine reridence on his place overlooking the lake on the north, and intends going in extensively for farming this year. Frank is at present on a business visit to Endako. Trooper Jack Blackman, 16th Lancers, one of the members of this community to go the front, writes from Curragh Camp, Ireland, in an optimistic tone, and says he has already made a trip to France and the firing line with horses, and is expecting to return soon to France for more serious work. He says he is coming back here when the war is over, which, he expects, will be next June. Let us all hope so. "Shorty" Haven, having proved up on his Uncha lake preemption, has filed on a new place a few miles east of Frank Keefe's ranch on North Francois, on which he is livinir this winter. Mr. McKilligan and family are amongst the new arrivals here in South Francois. Coming from Alberta, Mr. McKilligan intends going in for stockraising.

Amsterdam, Jan. 12: The Cologne Gazette is very much perturbed over Britain's reply to the American note. The Gazette thinks that in spite of the friendly expressions the reply is a (lat negative. It claims that the large increase of exports from America to neutral countries is due entirely to increased home requirements. San Francisco:--Neither Japan nor Norway will send warships to the Panama Exposition. Japan pleads her present state of belligerency, and Norway, that her entire fleet is needed at home to enforce neutrality. London, Jan. 13: -A despatch to the Times from its Petrograd correspondent, says, "The Viceroy in Caucasus finds his difficulties by no means easier since the crushing defeat of the Turks. The Turks have assembled in large force, it is believed there are 100,000 of them between Kara and Erzerum." At Kara, where they have succeeded for several days in holding the Russians back, they show signs of giving way. The Turkish resistance here is facilitated by the clo.se proximity of Erzerum, from which the Turks sire able to draw supplies. Milan: Information which has reached diplomatic quarters in Rome, confirm the rumors that Aust ia-Hungary is mussing 300 000 fresh troops for another expedition against Servia, and that Germany has also sent a large number of troops for this move, including 50,000 which are now assembling at Sarajevo. Rome, Jan. 13:���The Popla Romana, which is usually well informed about the Austrian plans states that the forthcoming Aus- tro-German attack on Servia will not be in the nature of a punitive expedition, but will aim at joining hands with Turkey across Servia.

Wreckage and lifebuoys, of German equipment, confirms the belief that the Karlsruhe was sunk in the naval engagement off the British West Indies on November 25 and that the news was suppressed by the Admiralty for strategic reasons. Petrograd, Jan. 14: Official statement���Cannon and rifle fire prevailed on the night of Jan. \\t all along our front. Engagements of more importance took place in some districts on the road followed by our vanguard column, which is advancing in the region to the east of Rosog, in Eastern Prussia. Our troops have repulsed the enemy's cavalry, supported by infantry, and have occupied several villages, one of which was strongly fortified and could only be cleared of Germans by a bayonet charge. Southwest of Mlawa, we advanced in the direction of Radzan- owa. On our front, comprising Koslow, Biskupe Zakrzew and Sucha, the Germans, after having from I'ase One) prepared the ground by an intense artillery fire, made an offensive movement, but our troops easily repulsed them. In the region of Borjitnaw, and Szid- lovvska, the enemy made many unsuccessful attacks, in one advance the Germans tried to take cover under shields. In the region to the south of Mogehly Farm, the enemy delivered a series of attacks all of which were easily repulsed. Paris, Jan. 14. Official:���North- fast of Soissons, our counter attack has progre sed slightly between CufhVs and Crouy. We were, however, unable to debouch from Crouy. Our troops, which were subjected to a violent attack east of this place, have yielded slightly near the village of Moncel, but they still occupy the village. They are holding St. Marguerite and Missy-sur- Aisne. Petrograd, Jan. 15:���Official statement���Yesterday we made progress on the right bank of the lower Vistula, our troops changing their position in a manner favorable to them. The cavalry of the enemy operating in this region was repulsed, leaving Zerpetz in possession of our vanguard. O i the other fronts nothing has occurred other than skirmishes and artillery duels. Our reconnoitering parties have been active. On the left bank of the Vistula, isolated German attacks were easily repelled by our fire. On various portions of our Austrian front, the enemy tried to cannonade our position with heavy guns, but the efficient fire of our batteries soon silenced the Austrian artillery. Petrograd, Jan. 15:���Information from Vienna is to the effect that the Germans are preparing another grand stroke. They have brought up their 11-inch monsters to the Russian front, and on Tuesday began a general bombardment, which lasted all night and the day following. That means an infantry attack, which is perhaps now in course of delivery. Paris, Jan. 15, official communication:���Last night our troops were successful in a sudden attack, with the object of overwhelming the trenches recently constructed by Germans to the northeast of Fouquescourt, north of Roye (department of Snmme). Attacks of the enemy in the region to the north of Soissons have bee i stopped. Flooding of the River Aisne, which destroyed several of our bridges, has rendered very precarious communication with our troops operating on the first slopes of the right hank. We were thus prevented from sending them reinforcements. This has been the essential cause of the withdrawal of those troops which were fighting under difficult conditions. The Allies were obliged to a- bandon several cannon as a result of the breaking down of a bridge; they have, however, rendered them all unfit for use. The Germans have made many prisoners, particularly of wounded men, who in the withdrawal movement we were unable to take with us. On our side, we have taken a number of important prisoners, not wounded, and belonging to .seven different regiments. To sum up, the success is a partial one for our adversaries, which will have no influence upon the operations as a whole. In fact, by reason of the obstacles presented by the Aisne, and the dispositions which we have taken, the enemy will be unable to utilize, to the south of the river, the success, which is of a purely local character. On the rest of the front there is nothing to report. LOCAL NEWS PARAGRAPHS R. O. Jenning left for Prince Rupert on Sunday. M. R. Jamieson came in from Skeena Crossing Saturday. R. O.
