THE MOUNTAIN sO
TO MAHOMED

Some years ago there were
some_ efforts made to induce Ha-
zelton people to move to the rail-
road. That these efforts were of
no avail was due to various caus-
es, Now it seems that the rail-
road is to come to Hazelton. We
understand that the wideély-cir-
culated rumor come from a source
very close to the circle of Lhose
who know.

It seems that ouing to the geo-
logy of the country and nature
of the fround under the roadbed, |'

the maintenanee of the railroad
in the locality between Rocher de
Boule mountain and the Skeena
River hus heen determined to be
more expensive than its removal
to amore stable right-of-way.
‘Crossing the Bulkley somewhere
‘abont Moricetown and e ‘ossing
“the Skeena at a point just north
“of Hazelton, according té :the
survey of the engineers, will pive
the Grand Trunk Pucifie a road
that will stay in place and enable
the Company to keep the: main-

tenance of way costs within a}

reasonable figure. . ‘Not only. will
this reduce the maintenance, but
it will also inerease the: margin
of safety’ in travel, which has+
always been the’aim of the rail-
road ‘officials, as evidenced’ by.
_ their ‘motto of * ‘safety. first. ,

Just’ how preat the danger has
_ been at. siich points as the Ross
Tunnel and--Bulktey Canyon the

lay’ public will ‘probably never |:

know, . aud the engineers ‘will'in

the near future. be able to sleep a

without dreams of a terrible cat-|
astrophe. oe

. We hope that: the restless)
ve tongues of Hazelion’ 8. enemies
a will not accuse “her of having|:

‘selfish’. motives: ‘She. was flour-
ishing” before the railroad came;
‘she was notin, any” “way respon-.

even they must . admit. ‘that she
- had no part i in: ihe councils which

ably in view of the present ‘labor
shortage in the. Dominion.
Also.the measure will’ serve
the purpose of of-the government
in deciding how the various draft
classes may be called out, with-
out disturbing production © too
badly, and giving figures as to
how the soldiers’ places, can -be
filled, eliminating overlapping in
civil occupations and disposing of
charges of discrimination against }#
the calling of the classes. —

Severe penalties are provided
for failure to register, persons
neglecting to do so being render-
ed unable to draw their pay,’ if
working for a firm, or to travel
ona railroad and being denied
the vote. ‘Cards will be issued
to registrants; which must be
produced . upon. demand, thus| 2
ensuring the easy detection of
delinguents. _

The registration measure -is a
wise one, regarding ‘the ‘human
power resources ag they stand at
the present. time, and compulsory
registration, coupled with the
anti-loafing law, will undoubted-
