Page 2. ----- Shun Work Camps in B.C., Relief Officials Charge ---- Calgary, July 29. - Following British Columbia's introduction of "no work. no relief" policy.

Mackenzie, chairman of the Alberta Relief Commission, stated Alberta authorities and police were co-operating upon a plan under which it may be possible to turn back transients at the Great Divide.

"SENTENCED TO THREE YEARS." Edmonton Bulletin. March 7, 1913. Page 7. --- Three years at the Alberta penitentlary was the sentence meted to Gustav Blanc at the district court terday, the charge against him being the forgery of cheques on the Merchants Bank. The course of justice had been swift. It was only last Saturday that Blanc was arrested at the Hotel Alexandra in Calgary, and he arrived in Edmonton with Detective Captain Simpson on Monday night.

Of Blanc's history practically nothing is known except that for the past year he has been passing to and fro between Edmonton and construction camps in the north, with which he carried on the business of bootlegging, and earning the reputation of a good fellow, was enabled to secure information as to the method by which camp employes were paid by cheque, and also as to the banks where the cheques were cashed. While in Edmonton he passed as a real estate agent and the few friends he had were among real estate salesmen in a small way. He was always somewhat of a mystery, it is stated, not one of his personal friends, while in Edmonton, appearing to know where he roomed.
