N. S. Clarke, manager of the Fort George Lumber & Navigation Company, got away from Fort George on Tuesday forenoon, en route to Vancouver.   He wmF accompanied by Purser Thompson of the Nechaco. They left with a one-horse sleigh, carrying grub, blankets, and maiJ, and expected to reach Quesnel on  Saturday in  time to connect with the Ashcrof t stage, which leaves Quesnel r n Sunday morning.  Mr. Clarke has an option on A. G. Hamilton's 60 acres of land known as "South Fort George".   On arriving at Vancouver he will send a surveyor back to plat the 60 acres as a townsite.and it is more than likely lots will be on. sale in March.   It is the only place the town, can be  until  the  Indian reserve and the Hudson's  Bay  Company  land, are sub-divided into lots, which is not likely to be done inside of two years.   The Fort George Lumber & Navigation Company owns and operates the steamboat Nechaco, which has paid expenses this  summer.   She  will  be run next summer in connection with a larger boat, which  the  company  will build this winter at Soda Creek.     The   company's sawmiH.at Fort George hps been in operation  a  month, and lumber is piled in the yard.   The company  expects  to  have 50 men on its pay-rroll in the spring.
