LINDSAY Terrace, B.C. “ . x “SMITHERS . | 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the Hospital, After many months the govern- ment has at last strairhtened out the taxation problem of Smithers and have withdrawn their assess- ment on real property within the townsite, and now they are up against the job of refunding all \the taxes on real.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- oO a} New samples of : Private Stationery Dance Programs —_- ‘Invitation Cards Birth Cards -BLACK-BORDER.

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. : i _- There is a report that the G:-T. P. boats will make three trips a week between.. Prince.
