Skeena riding, will-be a source
of gratification to many in this
district.’ Mr. Peddie was in
charge of the high school work

at Terrace during the latter part
of last term, and the splendid

to his ability. His departure is

Following a recent ‘tour of west~
ern Canada, W. L, Smith, former
editor of the “Farmer's Sun”, writes
that he will be surprised if the
aggregate wheat crop of the Prairie
Provinces falls below 400,000,000
bushels. “It will jnot be surprising

families were placed on farms in
the ptiairie provinces by this ors

than likely to be attained.
