e i ee 4 THE DAILY NEWS —_—_—_—— THE NEW TOWN OF LARKFORD NOW COMMENCES ITS CAREER Situated on the Bulkley Valley Between the Railway and the Hazelton Mines, it is Destined to Have a Great Commerciai Future--Leading Hazelton Business Men Will Build There in Anticipation of the Railroad and Mining Hazelton has prospered because it has been the natural supply base, and natural centre for the Skeena, Bulkley, Kispiox, and oth- er fertile valleys in the Northern Interior, and more recently be- cause of the rich mine properties in the Ninemile and Fourmile mountains near by. But Hazel- ton has been up to now a river town, all her transportation coming up and down the Skeena to and from Prince Rupert. The coming of the railway means for Hazelton a lessening of river traffic, and a vast rail traffic bigger far than any river boat traffic could ever be. To be on the railway Hazelton has got to move where the station will be, and upon that point on the G. T. P. by the Bulkley River just above its junction with the Skeena the eyes of Hazelton’s leading business men have been focussed of late. They have been keen to get in early and purchase lots where the business activity of the new city will centre. Nearer to the Mines Closer to the mines, in fact, just where the ore shipments will reach the railway by the shortest route from the mountain, within a few hundred feet of the G. T. P. offices and buildings, situated, close to where the railway station will be, is Lot 883 or Larkford, on which the first available lots on the new townsite are now being sold. This week a number of the prominent merchants, hotel-pro- prietors, and business men now operating in Hazelton selected their locations, and purchased lots under definite agreement to build, and NORWEGIAN LIEUT. IS A RIVAL Lieut. Karl Von Metz-Meyer, Charming and Self Pos- essed Tells How He Entered Eighteen Fashion- able New York Homes, and Looted $5,000 of Stuff. (Canadian Press Despatch) New York, July 18.—Adven- tures rivalling those of the in-| vincible Raffles were laid bare to} the Brooklyn police last night when Lieutenant Karl Von Metz- Meyer, of the Norwegian army, as he styles himself, was arrested on a charge of burglary. Smiling and self-possesses, Von Metz-Meyer entertained the offi- cers with stories of how, attired in evening clothes and carrying a cane, he entered at least eighteen fashionable Brooklyn residences, generally while the occupants were at dinner, and took articles valued at $5,000. Development. commence active business as soon as the river steamer traffic ceases, and the railway traffic begiris. Larkford is laid out is streets to fit in with the plan of the Robert Kelly townsite referred to as ‘‘New Hazelton"’ on Section 882 just over the steel and a little farther from the mines. No lots are yet for sale in Section 882. Larkford lots are the first on the market. Larkford will see the first build- ings, and the opening up of bisi- ness in the new railway city. Lots Now Selling Right on the railway beside the station, right below the mines, and with the assurance in black and white backed up by the money paid, that the purchasers of lots today will have their businesses there in full swing with the coming of the steel, Larkford is a great field for investment. The town- site is ideal. The soil and sur- roundings are beautiful. A part of the townsite near the Bulkley River has been set aside for a park. Just over the railway is the spreading townsite on Section 882. Compact and close to the station and the mines is Larkford. Lots there are now for sale in Prince Rupert. Messrs. McCaff- ery and Gibbons, Third avenue, are appointed sole agents for their sale in this city. Prominent Purchasers Following are the names of few of the leading business men of Hazelton who have invested this week in Larkford lots most of whom have agreed to build and begin business there as soon as the Skeena steamer traffic ceases. FOR ‘‘RAFFLES”’ A recent robbery placed sus- picion on Von Metz-Meyer and idetectives visited him in his quar- ters in one of Brooklyn’s exclusive sections. The lieutenant, unperturbed by the accusations of the officers. led them to a corner of his rooms and pulling up the carpet disclosed twenty-one pawn tickets, repre- senting different amounts which} he had received on the goods. Von Metz-Meyer claims to come from a prominent Norwegian fam- ily and says he came to this country to study banks and bank- ing laws on a three years’ leave of absence. — able to buy any kind of printing is able to buy good print- ing. f he uses anything else it in- to Do Daily News Building No Man Need Use Poor Printing Unless He is mg |The man who is | @Nd Satisfied dicates to people ae eer so it’s disastrous who see it that he aa Dg policy not to care doesn’t care espec- @ Xo about your printing FOR HIGH CLASS PRINTING OF ALL KINDS SEE THE ‘‘NEWS JOB’’ ially about the matter, And most people would infer is general charac- ter and personality to be in keeping— D0 osu Third Avenue PHONE 98 f The Continental Trust Co., Ltd. * | AUTHORIZED CAPITAL $500 000 OFFICERS: WM.

A game used to be run on supposedly permissible in this hotel on the ground floor. This recently by but from various sources Chief received information led him to suspect that the scene of operations had been simply alter- ed from the ground to an upper floor. About midnight last night, Con- stables McArthur, Mansell, Mor- rison, and Miller acting under instructions from Chief Vickers paid a sudden call upon the hotel, and without wasting instant downstairs swooped little party of card-players cupying an upper room. Cards, chips, and cigar butts flew around haphazard as the officers entered, but the mémbers of the party realised that it wes a case aking it quietly.
