kle in his eyes, presided over the tivo
sessions, he managed to keep fairly
zood order, in fact he was so success-
ful as a presiding officer that he was
re elected to that position. The dele-
ates were present from Smithers,
New Hazetton, Hazelton, South Hazel-
ton, Skeena Crossing, Kitwanga, Ced-
urvale, Pacific, Usk, Copper City,

So far as the public is concerned the
features of the.meeting was the poss-
Ing of the two following resolutions:

Whereas it bas Jong been apparent
that the political and material inter-
ests of the eastern portion of the Do

mnaterial interests of the western por-
tion of the said Dominion have little
in common between them, and, .

Wherens the balance of the politieal
power in the said Dominion has for
tong been disproportionately centred
to the rdvantage of the enstern portion
of the Dominion:

Therefore, be it resulved that in the

«pinion of the conv ention of the Liber-
ai Association of the Skeena viding
held at Terrrce, B.C,. on May 16, 1934,
the time ix now opportune for a recon-
sideration of the whole hasis and im-
fuct of the B. N. A. Act with a view to
the redistribution of ‘Dominion powers |»
in such a way as to be equitable fo all
rrirts of the Dominion, and:
_ That this convention hereby — sug:
vests Co the Hon. T. TD. Pattnilo, pre-
nier of the province of British Colum
hin, the urgent need for a conference
between the leaders of public thought
oF all parties in the Provinces of Man-
ftoba, Saskatehewnn, Alberta and Brit-
ish Columbla, and iu the Territory of
the Yukon, to consider the desiralilty
und feasibility of starting ir public
movement for the purposes of:

Efftecting the division of the Domin-
ion into two legisintive and adminis
trntive sections, namely, Mastern and
Western; aoereeing upon a basis of
stich movement nid the method of pro-
eodure fo secure snecess, aud, :

Sceking to secure Dominion Statves
for the Western nren in the event of

the movement being sneeessful.

Lots of Money
‘for Silver Says.
H. AL Harris!

Al, Harris was In town a couple of
‘days this week in company with A. EF.
Peers, lite roud foreman on the Cart-
boo vond. They motored through and
had n look at the Mohawk mine on the
Four Mile mountain, but found very
little there of any interest to them ex-
cept the holes in the ground, All the
camp equipment and buildings have
disappeared.

Al. Harris says that there is at the
present thine negotiations on for the
Gold and Cobalt property on the north
side of Rocher deBoule mountain just
nhove’ Carnaby and he has hopes that
it will be started up this season.

He also said that there is grert in-
terest now in silver and that when the
UW. S. government get the price of
‘silver stabnlized at a better figure
than it is today, there will be lots
of money available for silyer mining.
When silver starts, he predicts, gold
Wining will have a vest: for a time.
He has high hopes for silver and for a
number of mines in the northern inter-
lor getting a new lense of life. Among
sonie he mentioned were the Silver
Standard, the Silver Cup, the Ameri-
cin Boy, Duthie mine, the Cronin pro-
perty and possibly some others, but the
above are all in good shape for fairly
quick action.

Duke and Edgar Sarris and John D.
Boulding wre with the Viking Co. be-
tween Penticton and Alder and a lot
of the boys from around this country
are working in the gold country of the
Carihon and the Bridge River country.

According to word
the Live Stock Branch of the -Provin-
cin] Department of Agriculture, funds
are available with, which to continue
béys’ and girls’ club work in the in-
terior this year. However, owing: to.
the shortage both of quality and quan-
tity of feed grain, - there’ will He no at
tempt to increase the number of ¢lubs
hut rather to put forth every effort to
maintain the high standards that pre-'
vailed during past seasons.

perty of the member either by pur

Ponltry club work bas heen carried

value of the work is very evident in
the number of well bred poultry to’ be

Producing Cost
Cigar Tobacco

The cost of producing cigar leaf ta-
haceo at the Dominion Experimental
Station at Farnham, Quebec, in 1930
fo 1982 has averaged $150.87 per acre.
With an average yleld of 1,499 pounds |
per acre, the cost of production has
been 10.1 cénts per pound. As the
selling price of the tobacco during the
three years averaged Ge a pound, the
value of the crop was $89.94 per acre.

than ot the experimenta stations, the
yield during the above period being
55 pounds per acre. To produce an
acre of cigar leaf tobacco has required
411 hours of manual labor and 94 hrs.
of horse labor.

With this information before it and
the tremenduonus profits made by the
Tmperial Tobaceo Co., as bronght ont
by the Stevens investigating commit-
tee, the parliament of Canada shonld
