“] Saturday. to. permit’ the Turks. to

. District Appointments.
The last issue of the British
Columbia Gazette containg the
following appointments:

Walter Gale, of Telkwa, to be
Acting Deputy Mining Recorder
for the Omineca Mining Division,
during the abgence of Reginald
Leake Gale, Deputy Mining Re-
corder.

Thomas G. “Wynn, of Hazelton,
to be Inspector of Licensed Prem-
ises and Inspector of Police from
the 15th day of December inst.,

in the place of Thomas Smith,

resigned.

Ernest Gammon, Senior Con-
stable of the Vancouver-West-
minster Police Distriet, to be
Chief Constable in and for the
Hazelton Police District from the
15th day of December instant.

The Other Side
The promoters of New Hazel-
ton propose to build a bridge

‘|across the Bulkley at the upper

end of Haguel-get canyon. The
non-arrival of the four car-loads
of timber which are to go into
the structure is seized upon by
the New Hazelton paper as ex-
cuse to “slate” the G. T. P.

In the interests of truth we
here give space to a statement
by A. E. McMaster, ‘General
Agent of the G, T. P., who thus
gives the facts of the ease:

‘Tt is very apparent that the
Heraldis under amisapprehension
respecting the facts of .the case,
whether wilfully or otherwise I
do not know. The four cars of
of timber in question were billed
on us only to Prince Rupert and|-
we contracted to transport them
from here to South Hazelton only,
Not having authority from the
Railway Cominission to operate
to New Hazelton: it. was utterly
impossible for us to do so, and
with the use of a little common
sense the Herald ought to appre-
ciate this fact, especially in view
of the fact that in the same issue
of their paper they practically

Zladmitted that the Railway: will

operate beyond South Hazelton
only when authority is pranted.
Our agent at South Hazelton has
been after the  consignees
continually since the arrival
of the cars at that point
to take ‘delivery of same as we
were urgently requiring the cars:
and the excuse given for not
taking delivery was that. they

funds at South Hazelton and
would. have to wire to Vancouver
for same, which further proves
the fact that no blame for delay
in delivery is attachable to this
company.”

Refuses a Crown
Munich, Bavaria, Dee. 23:—
Prince Ludwig, the new Prince
Regent of Bavaria, sent an auto-

Premier today vetoing the move-
ment to place him on the throne
King.

He deleares: “y desire loyally
to administer the inheritance be-
queathed me by my father.

should be done for the present
in the matter.”
