CEDARVALE HAS BASKET SOCIAL
Small Community Raises Over $300.00
For School Purposes

Contributed

Cedarvale was definitely put on the
nap last Saturday night, Sept. 24, as
a. progressive and enterprising  com-
tmimnity., Lhe oceasion was: the most
successful basket social und dance that
we believe, was ever held In-nuy com-
mituity between Prince Rupert and,
Sinithers. Perhaps we ave taking in
too much territory, bet we do not think
sa. ‘Phe Cedarvale school board has,
during the past summer, built and
nenrl: campleted, 2 new school house
that for appearance and artistic fin-
ish, comfort for the teacher and pupils
ix a credit, net only to the school board
bat to the whole community:

‘he veason for holding the social
was to provide funds to purchase ‘a
heater und some black boards, and to
do some finishing work on the school
house. The finanelal results were be-
yond all expectations. To the school
trustees, Messrs. Christopher, Sutton
nnd Thompson, belongs the credit for
organizing the affair, but for the verr
gratifying firancial results the whole

community has to unite in giving a
vote of thanks {) the auctioneer.

The haskets were auctioned by Hon
D. W. Davis, ex-govenor of Idaho, “who
ix now at Cedarvale looking after his
Inining interests. The govenor took u
grent interest in the sale and was 8
most successful and entertnining ane-
tioneer. Before starting the sale he
made a very interesting speech, inaug-
uratiug the school for. the rising gen-
eration.

Nearly all the people of Cedarvale
were among those present, Kitwanga
and Woodcock were also well repre-
sonied and’ “everyone “seemed . intent
with the spirit of making the affair
the bicgest success possible,

Excellent music was-furnished by
Alfred and Percy Mulwam and A.
Uarris, ably assisted ‘by Mrs. G. ¥.
Haniey, J. Johns of Prince Rupesrt
was master of ceremonies,

The total receipts for the evening
amounted to $821.50, the largest part
of which was derived from the sale of

“ baskets, ‘Phe balance was voluntury
contributions from Hanson Lunber &
‘Timber Co. and others interested in
the welfare of the comnunity,

GREAT NEW VALLEY FOUND

Aerial Surveyors Believe They Have
Solved the Problem of Procur-
ing a Route for Road from
Prince Rupert Inland

As a result of the recent aerial sur-
vey made by the department of public
works of the country between Prince
Rupert and Terrace with a view to lo-
cating a pass through the coast range
for an automobile road to connect the
northern coast with the interior, the
department has sent out a party on
foot to inspect a possible route seen by
the bird men. It is believed that a
‘llarge new ond unexplored valley has
been discovéred and that.the road pro-
blem, considered such a huge job, is
about to be solved. If the valley is
anything like what the aerial survey
reports the road will pass. through a
productive country from Prince Rup-
ert to Terrace instead of an unproduc-
tive nnd rocky. country were the pro-
posed route along the Skeena river fol-
lowed. The report of the surveyors
will be awaited with a great deal of
interest. by the interior as well as by
the people on the const. Terrace will
be very keenly interested os it will be
most important to that place to have
the road connect with the Skeena riv-
er at Terrace rather than some other
point where no town has yet been de-
veloped.
