No. 3.

H. S. Clements “As a Business Man’’

H. 8. Clements, member of parliament for this district, arrived
in Hazelton on Thursday. Accordiny to the mouthpiece of the New
Hazelton promoters, he declared that “‘as a business man’? he had
come to the conclusion that New Hazelton was an ideal townsite.
Mr, Clements’ divergence from the opinion generally held by the
people of Hazelton is easily understood when it is.remembered that
“‘as a business man’’ he is the agent for one of the New Hazelton
townsites. He has been fighting, with energy and persistence
worthy of a better cause, for the interests of his principals, and
it was only to be expected that on his first inspection of the town-

site he should express a favorable opinion of it,
will be attached to Mr. Clements’

No importance
declaration by people who have

taken the trouble to investigate the merits of the townsite question.
The Hazelton station, which will be established shortly at the point
most convenient for the people of the present town, on’ Lot 851,
will attract all who are in a position to decide for themselves which
is the best site for the railway town which is to replace Hazelton
on the map. If our Dominion member has lost prestige: through
his connection with the townsite dispute and the inevitable conflict

between his duty as the people’s

‘as a business man,’’ he will himself be the chief loser,

representative and his interests
His un-

ethical conduct may somewhat complicate townsite matters, but
will not, in the final outcome, vitally affect the issue.

old town. That New Hazelton
had turned the proposition down
as they had already a station.
Shortly after the decision of the
board, of railway commissioners,
in June, that the people of Old
Hazelton had made out a case
for a station nearer to them than
New Hazelton, and that the rail-
way company would be permitted
to build a station at South Hazel-
ton to suit the people of Old
Hazelton, Mr. Clements wired
Mr. Biggar as above stated,
After the railway company had
turned down his proposition to
compromise, he made overtures
on behalf of the New Hazelton
townsite to Messrs. Sanders and
O’Brien, the agents for South
Hazelton and tried to effect a
compromise with them. -

Mr. Kelly, the owner of the
original New Hazelton townsite,
also made overtures to Sanders
and O’Brien for a compromise,
through his solicitor, Mr. Lennie.
When Mr, Lennie approached
Mr. Sanders and Mr, O’Brien he
stated that he represented not
only Mr. Kelly but Mr. Clements
and the - Northern Interior Land
Co. as well. He offered: Mr.
Sanders, on behalf of the amal-
gamated interests of New Hazel-
ton, half of all the money which
they had received from the sale
of lots in New Hazelton and a
half interest in ail of the remain-
ing lots in the townsite of New
Hazelton, on condition that the
South Hazelton townsite should
be taken off the market and that
the railway company should with-
draw their application for a
station at that point. This
proposition was rejected without
a moment’s hesitation. Mr. Len-
nie. was told that the only location
suitable for a townsite was South
Hazelton and -that nelther Mr.
Sanders nor the Grand Trunk/
Pacific Railway Co. would have
anything to do with a proposition
which tended to promote an un-

- favorable townsite and one which
the people’ of Old Hazelton did
not want.  _

After careful - consideration,
however Mr, Sanders, ‘being of
the opinion that it would: _be
better for. the townsite, the: dis.
trict, anid everyorie “coriéerned

gether to aid in, the: establishing:

sition to the New Hazelton inter-
ests, something as follows, sub-|"
ject to the approval of Mr.
Chamberlin: New Hazelton was
to be abandoned; the  atation
was tobe located a short distance
east of its present proposed Joca-
tion at South Hazelton; a town-
site of 340 acres immediately sur-
rounding the station site was to
he placed on the’ market as the
official G. T. P. townsite, Mr.
Sanders would then put his land
with part of the Kelly townsite,

(Lot 882), all of lot 863, (North- ye

ern Interior Land Co.) and all of
lot 150, owned by Mr. Price. Mr,
Sanders would receive an inter-
est in this coalition equal to the
interests given to Mr, Kelly
and the Northern Interior Land
Co., together, and’ Mr. Price
would have a small interest for
the land which he was to contri-
bute. . -

- All of the sales already made
in any of the townsites were to
be annuiled and the purchasers
of lots to be given their ehvice of
lots of equal value near the sta-
tion in the new townsite or their
money back. This latter condi-
tion the New Hazelton interests
objected to, but finally seeing no
|hope of a eompromisé of any
other kind a majority of them
agreed to accept the proposition,
As stated, this proposition was
mate subject to the approval of
Mr. Chamberlin. When Mr.
Chamberlin reached the coast he
absolutely refused to have any-
thing to do with any kind of a
compromise, stating that he pro- |v
posed to protect the people of |»
Old Hazelton and to. make South
Hazelton the townsite for ‘this
district. From’ this’ it » “would
certainly seem ‘that the only peo-
ple desirous of “throwing down’?
the people of the old town were
the: New Hazelton interests,

The atation of South Hazelton
will be approved by the railway
conimissioners within -a short
time, As soon as it.is approved
lotd will be placed on the market
and everythifiz possible will be
doiie'hy both the railway com
pany “and Mr, Banders to
advance the . ‘interests of
the townsite and the people of Old
Hazelton. Mr. Sanders, agent
for: South’ Hazelton, has already
guaranteed to the people of Old
Hazelton'that a ‘bridge will be
constructed between both towns
