Engineer Aylnier, vof the Dominion Public Wonts Department, who is inl the district in,connection with the opening iip of the rivers for navigation, is also looking into the. matter of a government wharf here. Surveys for this project are now being foarte.
The surveying of the grade from the lower flat to the Miller holdings on the Prince George townsite, \ round the eastern extremity of Connaught-Park, commenced this week: 1 he grade wil run west of the road now being used, and itf.will cut into the foot of the hil which forms Connaught Park.
The steamer B.X., which left here last Wednesday morning for Soda Creek on what was reported as the lasc journey of the season, will return here immediately, according to reports just received, with Charles Miller on board. Mr. Millerr as we have already announced^ will sell his laroe holdings in ^Prince George by private sale here.
Halloween, a fixture on the calendar intended as a safety-valve for fools and mischievous kids, passed by last night with the usual inane stunts of the prowling joker. If it wasnjt for Halloween a lot of people would have "very little to look forward to during the year—it is "their" day.
The mail service, since the Imperial Express Company have taken the con* tract over, has been excruciatingly rot-. ten. We are now receiving exchanges for October 11th, and this appears to I e the latest second-class rmail matter received. We recently receiv^d-^ffo'm a Quesnel lawyer a legal advertisement mailed in Queanel on October 7, calling for insertion iifthis paper in our issues of the! 1th and 18th. This letter was riot delivered here until October 20.
Great improvements have been mad* to the Hotel Northern recently by Al. Johnson, the progressive proprietor of the h\g hotel. The office; dining room and sitting room have been covered with pressed metal of pleating design, and painted. This improves'..the ap-ipearance of the rooms and at the same time protects them against fire to a large degree.                                 <^
. The Montgomery Shield, coveted trophy of the football-players, was won last Sunday.by the Fort George team by a score of 1—0. Throughout the game the local'boys put .up a splendid battle for the trophy, but the heavier players from the Nechaco townsite proved top strong, for them, [and in spite of the excellent play of the local team they were unable to score. Mur-f or the Fort;George team, played a splendid game, scoring the only goal. Both team<played for all that was in them, and without a doubt the gam* was the fastest event on the football card for the year. This is the first sporting trophy; that has ever been won by the Nechaco town in competition against South Fort George.
Amateur Night at the Fort George Theatre last Thursday proved an amusing event at the big playhouse. Th several performers pulled off their various stunts to a delighted .though critical audience, all the jpeiformera escaping unhurt in body,/flfthough the feelings of some might have^been somewhat ruffled bu/Cheir reception. A black-faced comedian made his debut in a careful nriuce-up, but waited too long in cutting loose his line of comedy, causing some impatient spectators in, the gallery to offer him kind advice such as' 'Naw, you-all beat it, Sambo," "Deyjs^ge^tin* de hoolc if you." A spasmodic comedian off the grade, with an impediment in his speech, took the first prize, the second going to J. McDonald for recitations, and the third to Mr. Myson for a recitation.             '  \
In spite of the lateness .,-of- the season the fine weather still continues warm here.
