II. SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 8 1913. The Omineca Miner has the largest bona fide: circulation of any newspaper in the . ., Northern. Interior ‘of. British Columbia. Practically the full text of the Railway Commission’ s order re- ‘lating to the South Hazelton station was published in The Miner of November 9th, as a desgatch from Ottawa.’ The full decision is now published in order that the public may compare the real decision with the fake printed this week by a contemporary. It will be readily understood by the public that the real order coming _ under date of October 31 could not be preceded by another under date of October 2. One of the leading dailies was stung with the same cooked up ‘‘decision” and we would like to believe, in all charitableness, that this latest reprint was-done.in ignorance but the situation i is too well understood locally to permit of that, _FILe 18849, “Mr, Commisstoner McLean: The reasons for judgment and the draft order in this applica- tion have been allowed to'stand for a limited time because of the representations of counsel representing certain interests in. and around New Hazelton, . It. was represented that new and material evidence could be submitted, and a limited time was allowed. so that * the Board might be satisfied from the ‘statements: indicating the ~ nature of the evidence to be submitted. whether a rehearing should - be-granted. : - +. There are now before the Board telegraphic statements from the, Board of Trade of Old Hazelton favoring: the South Hazelton location. There ae. also counter telegrams alleging that only a bare majority of those present at the Board of Trade meeting which ‘passed the resolution in question favored it. It is also stated that a majority of the members of the Board of Trade are opposed to having.two stations, and favor a single station at New Hazelton. It is alleged.in the course of thése counter telegrams that the approval of the South Hazelton location in addition to New. Hazel- ton will "tend to prolong the townsite controversy, which has been a great detriment to business generally.”” . = The Board isnot going to mingle in townsite matters qua townsite, It will interyene in the matter of station accommodation only where there is a public néed for a station, or where the railway has entered into an agree- ment binding itself to establish a station, — ’ Aside from: what is ‘outlined in. the preceding section, it is ‘not concerned with’ whether two townsites grow, where one grew before, -There may be abuses in the matter of location: of - townsites; theré may be too many of them;.some of:them: may be simply: the eapital- ization of an iridescent optimism, ‘But be this as it may, there is not within the. four comers of the Railway Act any statement..that the Board is the official guardian of townsites, and the Railway Act no ‘where over rules the necessity of investors exercising: common sense: - oN Itis also also alleged in:support of ‘the ' Application for a re: hearing, that the Grand Trunk Pacific is refusing to haul freight and passengers to New Hazelton. All that need be said on this is that leave to carry traffic as far as the Squth Hazelton site was applied ‘for and granted... No application for leave to carry traffic on additional mileage east of this has been ¥eceived by “the Board. - The whole question‘ is whether Old Hazelton i is to have on the South Hazelton location:trafic facilities i in addition to those afforded by New Hazelton.- ..The Board has already. decided this, : Order approving the South Hazelton location, plan as filed should now go... crs , Ottawa, October ith, 1912,” ” Eastern G.'T.
