| Newsy Notes From the Rallwey
Town a,

_The final reckoning of the
railway men’s dance showed a
profit of $215.60 and this sum was
turned over to the Hospital,

After many months the govern-
ment has at last strairhtened out
the taxation problem of Smithers
and have withdrawn their assess-
ment on real property within the
townsite, and now they are up
against the job of refunding all
\the taxes on real. property paid
last year. ’

W. S. Henry presided over the
court of revision on the 14th and
lth and about thirty appeals
were heard. Practically all the
assessments were upheld by ‘the
court. The G. T. P. has entered
an appeal against the assessment
of the right-of-way and improv-
ments for-school tax in the vari-
ous districts, but this hearing is
adjourned unti] the 28th of March
pending receipt of further parti-
culars from the company. ,

On’ Friday the nurses of the
Smithers hospital formally open-
ed their new home by giving a
reception. Tea was served dur-
ing the afternoon and evening,
and games and dancing were the
feature of the evening entertain-
ment, The chief attraction was
the palmist, who did’ a roaring
business. All the visitors were
delighted with the cosy little
home, and it is expected many
applications for staff positions
will’ be received. The Ladies’
Auxiliary had a collection plate
on the job and netted about $90,
This sum will bé used in furnish-
ing and decorating the home,

Sunday again saw the Smith.
ers and Vanderdoof hockey teams
mixing it up as a result of the
visit of the Vanderhoof six to

Smithers, Owing to the very
soft weather, the ice was in poor
condition, resulting in a rather
slow game. However, the wea-
ther was considered fayorably.
by many as evidenced’ by the
large number of spectators. .Dur-
ing this game the visitors did not
seem to haye a show and Smith-
ers pulled an easy yietory with
ascore of 5to3. Monday saw
the teams on the ice for a second
time, only this time it was a
different story, Vanderhoof prov-
ing the victors with a score of
4 to nil. , Vanderhuof started off
in style and scored two goals in
the first period and the score re-
mained the same until the last
period when Vanderhoof put two
more goals through in quick suc-

The End of The West

By Helen M. Lee

¢

There’s a wonderful Jand at the End
of the Weat,
A Land of Promise, to he,

done,
Sinks to reat in a jewelled sea,
"Tis the Land of British Columbia,

Where the soft clouds ride, or nestled
hide | ‘
Like a child on its mother’s breast.

‘Tis a land of wondrous beauty,
A Land of wealth and hope,
Time. alone shall unfold what those
mountaing hold
- Under each wooded slope.
Rich storehouses packed with treasure
rare,
* Whose value has ne'er been told
From the glittering sands on its rivera’
strands
To its mountains a-glint with gold.

Its valleys are laden with luscious fruits,
The pride of the West and East,
While fertile meadows and sunny slopes
Provide richly for man and beast.
Ita perfumed breezes are pregnant
With sweet scents from a million
' flowers,
Not e’en tropical isles where all nature
smiles
Can out-rival this land of ours,

And it scatters its invitations
To its friends with a lavish hand,
To join in the pleasures and beauties
And wealth of this wonderful Jand. |
It outstretches its hands in warm wel-
come ;

Far Hast o’er the Mountain’s crest
While all the world’s mortals may come
‘to its portals, ,

‘In ships from the north, south and

west.

You will find in this land the brother-
ly love .
And spirit free of the West,
Where men are all brothers and work-
_ ing together
To make this great?Province the best,
And when you have paid us a visit,
Seen our mountains and beauty
bowers, :
Though we don’t like to boast, you'll
come back to the Coast,
To this fairyland of ours,

Groundhog Coal in Deal

It is rumored that the Spreckles
interests in California may be-
come interested in the Ground-
hog coal fields. It is said that
negotiations with the Seott com-
pany of Quebec, holders of the
property, have been entered into
with the view of the transfer of
control, The company repre-
sented by Mr. Scott has already
spent much money on their hold-
ings. They did as much develop-
ment work as alluther holders

and former holders combined.
