Plfth, I want to fry to get the Hudson's Bay Company to; make ah exhibit. They were the piW.ers' of this country. They ca;n, and I think they will be, willing to co-operate with us. ¦. This- is not a complete list of what I have' in mind, but »somc plans are still immature and so may as well be left for some future time. In 1,912-we might have offered a prize for the. best automobile that came by road all Mie way to Fort George, but that is an pld story now, when the trip is made in two days to Ashcroft. But we may be in position to offer a prize for an. aviation exhibition—the farthest north, I believe, on-the American continent. We have some good horseflesh in this country'—-both draft horses and trotting stock; and some fast racing ponies...^These always interest »oiir people, and in my opinion we should offer purses and prizes large enough to bring to Fort George the best in British Columbia—-certainly the best this side of Vancouver. All this needs monfev. Fortunately for the fair .we have never beejrin. debt— have always kept our expenditure within our inpo'me^and we now" have a little balance from thofair of 1913 to start/the/preliminary work—for tfi Prince George will have a population of 15,000 in 1916. Mo doubt some will say we are. stretching it a point. We admit that we are very optimistic regarding the future of this coming city, but we are sure if you will inspect the yards which the Grand Trunk are installing at the foot of George Street in. the vicinity of the Station, which are Second to none in Canada,' you will be forced to admit that we ha\e every right to be' so. The yards only go to prove what is expected of Prince George as a railway centre. • A $65,000 hotel to be built in Prince George by local business men^ori which the excavating has already started, is only the beginning of the greatest building campaign ever witnessed'in this country. .. s", Having purchased our property (lifect from the Grand Trunk, we are in a position to offer you the best prices and terms^ODtainable. ¦ J Our Offices are Open Every Evening.

"la thg past .two years we have re/ ceived |500 atinually from the -provincial treasury. Will it be<-too/much, to expect that we shall recejTe $1000 in 1914? I think not, /Our total; receipts for 1912 werC/oijout $1200; for last year we received $14 20. For 1914 we should gel in the way of contributions from the government^ the various land companies and other bodies, sav/|5000.
