How difficult it is, sometimes, to carry out your good intention of writing a letter every week-to- your relatives or friends back home or in the particular lo- calily in which you lived before you settled in Northern’ British Columbia. A good way out of the difficulty is to order the “Weekly News" to be sent to them. It gives all the news of Prince Rupert a ndistrict. You will accomplish a twofold purpose by doing so. Not only will you be sending a weekly letter home, but you will be contributing in no small means to the ad- vertising abroad of Prince Rupert and Northern B. CG. Just think how a newspaper from Prince Rupert will be passed on by your faraway friend to some other per- son who will be interested in learning something of the wonderful opportunities of this pioneer land, Is it not your duty to do that much for your city? It would be money well invested. The ‘Weekly News” posted to any place in Canada or the United Kingdom is only $2.00 per year; to points in the United States, $2.50 per year. ee ee Na Cr eee eee ek ean one pe a} i ROPE Ph An PORES gh - - Pe PTT Tad CoE ert A oS LOCAL NEWS ITEMS.

CLEARING STREETS FOR ANOTHER TOWN The Bulkley Valley and tribu- tary territory is to be one of the best advertised sections of British Columbia, The Natural Resources Security Company of Vancouver, the company which placed Fort George on the map and kept it there in the face of powerful op- position, has selected the new town. of Hubert, in the heart of the Bulkley Valley for. its next big development. . Hubert is lo- cated about three miles east of Aldermere on the main line of the Grand Trunk Pacific. A large gang of men is now at work clear- ing the townsite. Streets are be- ing opened, sidewalks laid, and with a substantial’ population to start with Hubert gives evidence of rapidly becoming one of the important points of the interior. Surrounded by a rich area of agricultural land, in many places underlaid with large deposits of coal, with the rich mienralized Babine Range to the north and the Copper River district, which showing some remarkable mineral values, to the south, it is such to cut an important figure in the development of that rich section of the province. The company which is under- 1s taking its development plans’ to reverse the usual procedure in the promotion of new towns. Its advertising campaign, which will be one of the most extensive undertaken on behalf of a British Columbia townsite, will aim to secure for the district settlers and business men rather than the im- mediate sale of lots. The cam- paign will start in the early fall and will continue through the winter months and will embrace all the important publications in every province in Canada, in every state in the United States, many of the magazines with na- tional circulation and many of the important dailies and week- lies of the British Empire.

The steamer Prince George ar- rived from the south this morn. ing, more well ahead of time. She brought many pas- sengers to Prince Rupert, but there was a decidedly noticeable falling off in the number of tour- aboard. This may be in some degree attributable to the effect of the State of California disaster, which has probably made many people disinclined to take the northern” trip. This seems the most probable explana- tion, as at this time of the year the tourist tramMie is usually great and special rates are allowed, Among those arriving here this morning were the following: G., Russell, Dorothy Dowling, Mrs. Morris, ©, Hellings, George Kelly, onee ists Robert Reid, A.
