RAILWAY BOARD DECIDES FOR HAZELTON

The people of Hazelton and the district immediately
tributary to the town have reason to congratulate them-
selves on the final settlement of the railway station case.
After along delay, for which an interested and factious
opposition was responsible, the, Board of Railway Commis-
sioners have implemented their decision of last June, when,
after a re-hearing of the case, in which the people -of the
present town were represented, the Commission stated that
a case had been made out for a railway station more con-
venient to Hazelton than that on the Kelly townsite..

The reasons for judgment and the order approving the
locatinn of a station at South Hazelton are given in full on
another page. It will be noted that the Commissioners
take the entirely sensible position that townsite matters
are not within their jurisdiction, and that they will in-
tervene in station matters only when there is a public need
for a station or where the railway has bound itself to es-
tablish a station. It was quite evident that a station was
required at South Hazelton. That was all the Railway
Board required to know. The allegations of the opposition
were fully considered and proved to have no bearing on the
question before the Board, which was concerned only with
the question of station facilities for the old-established town

- of Hazelton.
The railway is now accepted for passenger and freight
traffic to Suuth Hazelton: station facilities will be provided
‘without delay, and the untoward conditions under which
the merchants and ‘people of Hazelton have been doing
business will soon become a memory. The townsite ques-
tion will be satisfactorily settled in a comparatively short
time. When the business men of Hazelton—which is and
always has been the distributing center for the district—de-
cide that it is necessary to remove to the railway, they will
cross the river to South Hazelton, where the railway com-
pany and those associated with it will develop a town not _
surpassed in natural advantages and convenience of
location by any on the Grand Trank Pacific in British

Columbia.

and fuller details of the alleged
attempt to kill the 8-year-old

imperial yacht, the Standart,
committed suicide when warned
by telephone that the police were

about to search his quarters. |

When they arrived, they found
a pile of burned papers Yin the
kitchen and the admiral, shot
through the heart,in his dressing-
room. Further search revealed
a blotting pad impressed witha
letter written by the admiral to
Grand Duke Michael, saying he
could ‘“‘be counted on to drive
straight home. when- morning
came.’

Though the plot was hatched
at St. Petersburg, the execution
was planned for Jaita, where the
fleet was seriously disaffected.

According to persistent rumbrs,
. the plan was to have the officers

and crew of the Standart put the
royal party. under arrest and
forea the Czar to abdicate and
waive his son’s rights in favor
Michael. ‘The scheme failed, be-
