championship of the Northern
Interior Hockey League) was
played in old Hazelton last Sat-
urday night and was won by that
town. The score was 10-0, al-
though that does not mean that
New Hazelton’s team was so com-
pletely outclassed. It was the
result of no practice, the lack of
players and the lack of team
work. The old town boys have
played a little together, they had
practically all their fastest men
and they were at home and pos-
possed with a determination to
win. At that the game was good
and as fast as could be-ex-
pected for the opening of .the
season. For the old town Edgar
Harris, North and O’Shea were
prominent. North and O’Shea
aré both extra good men and
have been in many a battle be-
fore going to the old town. For
New Hazelton Dr. Parks, Wells
and Holtby were the bright
lights, and with some changes
and additions to the line-up the
new town will make the old

arrived it did not take long to

two big bridges beyond were
completed some time ago, there
is now a long stretch of grade

ready for the steel gang. All the
grading contractors between here
and Telkwa will have completed
their contracts and moved on to
their new work by the middle of
this month. There will be noth-
ing in the way of the track-lay-
ing machine between here and
the capital of the Bulkley valley,
and it is expected that the trains
will be running through to Telkwa
early in the summer,

On the other handa
great maay said that the trains

That they did not run sooner was
purely the fault of the head offi-
cials who had a townsite on their
hands which was costing them
large sums of money and the
only hope to break even (and
that hope was extremely vague)
was to refuse a train service to
New Hazelton.
For some reason there was a

efforts through the New Hazelton
Citizens’ Association.

The outlook of the townsite

that, they have caused a change
