Anthracite Coal
| Early. October

“ar. Canippelt’ of the’ ‘Lake Kathlyn

Anthracite Coal’ Co., paid a: visit to
New 4 Hazelton ‘last week. ‘To the
Tlerald he stated that there had been
a small break’ on one of the machines
at the mine which gave them a ‘couple
of day’s holidays. He was taking ad-

vantage of it to get better acquainted
with more of the district. Since start
ing operations at the mine on: Hudson
Bay mountain. he has been pretty,
closely confined to work, In speaking
of the progress | being ° “made at the
hard coal mine Mr. Campbell gaid he
hoped the company would be in a posi-
tion by the first of: October to give out
nn approximate date at which they
could. start, shipping coal. The main
tunnel: that. ts being driven is. now in
the hill’ ‘about "150 feet and ‘in: ‘order to
cut all the seams (four ‘yet to cut) the
tunnel would have-to go another 140
ft. and that would take pretty well the
balance of this‘month. When all the
seams have cut Mr. Campbell says he
will be in a position to tell pretty well
not only when they can start shipping,
but what the approximate .ontput of
the mine will be. He does not intend
to start shipping any coal until the
mine is equipped to handle a steady
output, All shipments will he from
Lake Kathlyn station, some five miles
from Smithers, or three miles. The
crusher and grader will also be locat-
ed there, Everything from the mine
will be on a gravity plan and in ‘a
short time after shipping starts 1t may
‘be possible-to put this:‘anthracite: coal,
on the market at a price wich will sur.|

How to Prepare
The exhibiting of quality seed at
the various local and national fair of-
fers one of the cheapest and most
efficient means of advertising the abil
ity of an individual and a district to
produce seeds of outstanding . excel-
hence. Seedraising has become a
major farm entetprise in the -interior
of the province and this year growers
will face the problem of marketing a
large crop, partleularly of ’ timothy
seed. “In order to bring the outstand-
ing quality of interlor seed forcibly to
the attention of the - Canndian seed
trade, local seed growers! associations

plan on gettirig together and exhibit-
ing a representative display of the

merece in the interior, The | project
deserves the suppert of growers jn
alt parts of the area since any success
nehieved at the large fairs will un-
(loubtedly benefit.all throngh the pub-
licity secured for the district..

|: Anyone planning on exhibiting can
get in touch with the district agricul-
turists at Smithers or Prince George
for full information pertaining to the
various fairs. A limited amount of
equipment and the assistance of th=
agriculturists in preparing exhibits is
available on application.

Seeds for exhibits should be of the
highest quality as it must combine to
perfection all the features looked for
in the seed of the parent plant repre-
sented... It should be selected at hav-
yest time from the best places in the

cover, preferably hung up aut of the
sun with the head end down.in a well
ventliated place, Grass seeds ‘should
be hand threshed, to prevent hulling.
The sample when finished must be
free of weeds ot foreign material. The
seed must be plump, bright, mature,
uniform in size and color and true to
the king and variety of plant repre-
sented. Competition at the fairs is too
keen to make it worth while to send
inferior exhibits the “yequired distance

PAINT PRICES SHARPLY REDUC:
ED IN CANADA

A sharp reduction in the price of
first quality house paint to $3.95 per
gallon’ is announced by the manufac-
turers of some of Canada’s best known
brands of paint, the reduction to take
effect immediately. ‘

In’ making the announcement,

duction is not justified by any change
in’ market conditions’ or -manufactur-
ing costs. ‘They point out, however,
that during the past few years many
househollers have been’ misled by.
“Bargnin” prices into using inferior
paint with results that reacted unfav-
orably on the whole industry. Dras-
tic action was felt to be necessary to
check a situation that’ seriously
threatened property values all over
the country.

The new low price is designed to
make it easier for property owners to
use first quality paint, only, with re-
sulting benefit - ‘to the property and to
the community in general.

The companies announcing the re-
duetion are Canada Paint, Interna-
tional Varnish, Martin-Senouwr and
Sherwin-Williams,

STRONG FOR PREMIER BENNETT

Premier Bherhart, addressing a Cal-
gary audience on way-to Ottawa the
end of. last weck, advised West Cal-

‘Premier Bennett Lad been and was 2
leading citizen of Calgary, he hed done
much for the city. and he had done a
great deal for Canada during the five

world. ~He-spoke-~of-sthe-«.Dominion.|~
premier as one of the strong men of
the age and while Mr. Eberhart did
not agree with all of Mr. Bennett's
political policies, he still, maintained
that Bennett was the very best man
West Calgary could get.—Now the Lib

as the horse was pulling, but when It
started down the first Bilt the cart
travelled faster than the horse, so the
horse stepped on the gas also.. It was
a merry ride while it tated... L.. W.

Samuel Gobeil, who was first elect-
ed to the House of Commons for the
liding of Compton at the elections of
1930, is one ofithe government’s very
staunch, French-Canadian supporters.

‘| While he is in his sixtieth year, Mr,

Gobeil, who is the father.of quite a
lurge family, still retains unusual vi-
tnlitr and stamina for a man of his
ave. His first attempt to become a
member for. the Commons was in 1925,
but: it was not.a sucecess.. He ogain
tried in 1926 with the same result.
Then in 1927 he went into the organi.
zation of politics, becoming a member.

Conservative convention at Winnipeg
Through. this endeavor he gained pres:

him to parliament in 1930.

Since entering: parlament he has
given freely of his time to many of
the pressing matters that have come
to hand, ohd has fought and debatted
at length in the interests of his con-
stituents and Canada as a. whole.
Some idea of his popularity.In bis own
bailiwick éan- be obtained from the
fact that for fifteen years he was may-
or of La Patrie, Compton county,
where he makes his home, He was
nlso prefect for Compton for two terms

Mr. Gogeil.is a family man married
to a daughter of FJ. B. Brousseau of
Ta Patrie, in 1899, . and is the father
of seven children, He was educated
at La Patrie, where he was horn, the
son of Samuet- Gobeil and Azelie La-
honne, both French-Canndians. Dur:
fag his four years in the Commons he
has commanded the: respect of . the
House while Vebating any problem
that he beleved required his attention
While truly a: French Canadian he has
hever Allowed race or creed differen-
ces to bring any influence to ‘bear wp-
on him. - His fairness-to all classes Is,
one of - his: characteritics, . a- trait: for
which che: is. highly respected.” Unlike
many other’ “nembers of ' “the: House
Mr, ‘Gobeil is not an-active participant
