THE FORT GEOR G E WEEKIY TRIBUNE Saturday, March 28, 1914 TROUBLE CAUSED BY ¦MISUNDERSTANDING Sir Arthur l*«fro( in Ireland Calls 01 Officers of Regiments t<> Flight Ulster London, March 2;!,— (Special.) — "What is called ;i 'misunderstanding is responsible for n serious crisis ir Ulster affairs. On Thursday, Friday mid Saturday of last weeto troops were moved into Ulster to strengthen tho garrisons at all arsenals and camps. Some of tho troops wore landed from •warships at Belfast and mounted guns on tho walla of ancient Gar-rick Fergus castle, overlooking Lough. Sir Arthur Paget, commanding officer In Ireland, sent letters to the commanding officers of the various regiments stating that he was in close touch with the war office and that operations wore to begin againsu Ulster. Ho intimated that officers who would not serve against Ulster must say so. Practically all the officers of the Third Cavalry Brigade at Curragh ramp, from General Gough down, resigned. Sir Arthur Intimated that the resignations of the two superior otheers n-ould be accepted while the others would have to stand court-martial. General Gougli and his chief of staff decided to stand by their fellow officers and Sir Arthur and General Gotigh wero called to London to confer with tho war office. The announcnnipj^ was made, by Premier Asquilh in the house of commons that tho trouble arose from Hii Arthur Paget's misunderstanding of the government's instructions The government hail no intention of coerc'ng Ulster and no more troops were to be sent in. The force in T isier had been increased simp'y ;.'S a precautionary measure to protect the arsenals against possible r.iids. The government is understood to bo quite willing to do police duty in Ulster, but not to practice coercion. There are persistent rumors to the effect that a large number of if.uers at Alde.rshot and alsewhere have sent In conditional resignations. The Radical press demands that all these officers be dismissed, and their places tilled from the ranks. JAUNT ON FOOT Ed. N.

MAKING SELECTIONS NOW of lots in Nechako Townsite Tho Townsite of Nechako, situated at what has been known as Milne's Landing, 65 miles west of Fort George, ' Is now being placed on the market. In connection with this announcement It iB further given out that many new and novel features accompany the selling of this subdivision,—features that should attract the attention of every investor who is conservative -when placing money in a new territory. M. C. Knowles, of Winnipeg, general agent of the Western Canada Colonization Agencies, was in Fort George last week, and gave out a few facts with regard to the plans of the own- ers of Nechako. In the first place, the lots are being withheld from sale until the local people, men who. live in the district and are entitled to first choice, have made their selections. The people of the country will thus be given the first opportunity to build, or get in on what is known as the "ground floor." Four hundred lots arc to be devoted to this class of purchasers, and their selections are being made this week. The prices on the first 400 lots are exceptionally low as well, in order to give the first investors a good opportunity. The lots will be sold at this allotment at prices from $100 to $300 per lot. The Columbian Empire Agencies, Limited P. O. Box 1538, Winnipeg began alloting applications for lots in Nechako about March 18, after the local people and adjoining settlers had made their selections on the ground, Air. Knowles, on his present trip, attending personally to these selections. The above named company will very Bhortly open a chain of offices, Winnipeg, Edmonton, Fort George and Nechaco being the principal points for offices. The company will begin in the near future" to*' bring in settlers for the famous rich district of the Nechako Valley, surrounding tho new town of Nechako, a special excursion being expected from Illinois, Iowa and Ohio points \n the early summer. The advantage of letting the first few hundred lots go at nominal prices is apparent to all. Tho local people who desire to ko at once to the town-»ite and build will he enabled to start the town right by hav- ing a compact centre all built up in the beginning by local men interested in making the new town t,heir permanent business location and home. After the first 400 lots are sold, mostly, of course, to actual or prospectve builders, the very low introductory prices will be increased about £& per cent. » ¦*'"•.¦• Nechako will be the great trade centre of the fam-our Nechako Valley, the richest and largest area of agricultural land in all British Columbia. Already Milne's Landing has become a centre before the railroad has been built. Thus Nechako has been naturally selected as the Bite for the town that must grow up in that valley. Mr. Knowles announces that a newspaper, to be known as the Nechako News, will be published at the new city to tho west of Fort George. The first issue will appear in about three weeks. Here are sonrm additional facts The townsite consists of 282 acres. There are only 1,300 lots in the subdivision to be sold. Already a number of business firms have decided to locate -there. The Bank or Toronto has secured a double .corner with the intention of locating a branch In Nechako Other banks are considering the purchase of property. Th« aurvey of the townsite was completed July 25, 1913. The government-selections have been">;niadev/The property is owned by'the vendora, and there has been no haste in placing it on the market The owners awaited the proper time —the time when the Grand Trunk Pacific main line was almost at Nechako. The spelling ot Nechako Is official. The Dominion government bus sanctioned the use of the "k" instead of the "c" and the provincial government has taken up this spell-Ing. Nechako has a splendid future ahead of it, a future of rapid growth along natural, conservative lines. It is a good f-Rtment foi the conservative man.
