_ Party In Skeena}

The best convention the Liber-
al- Conservative Association of

Skeena has held for many years
was held last Thursday night in
Prince Rupert, when J. C. Brady,
principal of the high school in
Prince Rupert, was selected to
contest the riding in the interests
of the Conservatives and stable
government in Canada.

There were 56 delegates pres-
ent, representing: every part of
the riding, and the without dele-
Rates were represented by prox-
ies. C. H. Orme opened the
meeting and at his request J. E,
Merryfield, provincial organizer,
took the chair. The first busi-
was the choosing of a candidate,
and the first name put up was
that of C. H. Orme, but he was
unable to accept for business
reasons, Then Frank JDockrill,
of Telkwa, and J. C. Brady, of
Prince Rupert, were nominated.
Rach addressed the delegates and
each promised to give the suc
cessful one a whole-hearted sup-
port, -The vote was then taken

and -Mr,- ‘Brady... “WOD-.0Lf. by a.

small inajority. Mr, Dockrill
moved that Mr. Brady's nomina-
tion be made unanimous, —

There was the greatest feeling
of enthusiasm and harmony
throughout, and the Conservative
party is going into the present
campaign united as in the old
days. Everything looks like a
win for them on Sent, 14.

.Mr. Brady has been principal
of the high school in Prince Ru-
pert since 1914. He is not only
well known, but is very favor-
Jably known. He is a splendid
platform speaker, and ‘there is

one thing the people of Skeeria

ean be sure of if they elect him
on the 14th—they will have a
representative who can preparea
speech and deliver it on the floor
of the House, He is an Irishman
by birth and came to Canada
from New Zealand-in 1912, Pre-
vious to that he was in South
Africa, Gibraltar, and Australia.
During his whole academic ca-
reer he has been a student of
politics, and is as well versed in
governments and their systems
as the best of them, and he had
in 1925 a. strong. following: which
wished to put_ his. name before
the convention at that time.
Mr.. Brady has already opened
his campaign and early in the
week wentinto the Atlin district,
Upon his return he will make a
‘trip. through. this interior country

The business men’s excursion
run by the Canadian National
Railways from Vancouver over
the triangle to Jasper and down

to Prince Rupert turned out to
be largely a business women’s
excursion, with a number of
business men’s wives and some
men, It was, however, a food
bunch of people, and they learn-
ed a good deal about this north
country which is good for them
to know.

The people in the north turned
out in fair numbers to entertain
the visitors and to show them
why we are here and staying
here. At Prince George there
was a dance: and at Smithers
there was a drive through part
of the Bulkley Valley and a dance
when they returned.

At New Hazelton on Sunday
morning a good many people of
the two towns got up early and
met the train with their cars and
took the visitors on a drive from
New Hazelton over the high level
bridge acrass Hagwilget Canyon,

the station. at South. Hazelton:
The trip was a delight to them,

WAS instantaneous,

as was the great Bulkley Valley,
‘with the big farms and heavy
crops which they saw the night
before. . The weather was ideal,
and the whole trip a wonderful
success. *

At Kitwanga the party went
around to see the totem poles
and at Terrace they had another
side-trip by automobile through
the nearby district. From there
the train proceeded withont stop
to Prince Rupert, arriving late in
the afternoon.

The party was in charge of
Messrs. Wright and Jackson, of
Vancouver, and R, F. MeNaugh-
ton, of Prince Rupert,

In Early Hours

before one o’elock on Tuesday
morning completely destroyed the
residence of Gus. Martinson at
New Hazelton. The blaze was
first noticed by a number of lacal

residents who were meeting the
eastbound passenger train, which
was several hours late, and they
hastened to the scene, but by the
time they reached it the building
was a roaring furnace and no-
could be done to save even a few
of the eontents, a

Mystery attaches to the cause
of the outbreak, since the owner,
who is employed on 2 B, & B,
gang now working near Bulkley
Canyon, had not been in town
since Sunday.

The house, of bungalow type,
stood in a rather secluded position
near the old abandoned wagon
road and somewhat behind the
hill at the west end of the town,
and but for the fact that the
train was iate, the destruction
of the building might have gone
unnoticed for some time, as no-

borhood.

Following a turn for the worse
which was noticed about six o’-
clock on Thursday evening, Mrs,

T. H, Walsh (Grace, daughter of
Mr, and Mrs. W. C. Sparkes, of
Terrace) passed away at the Ha-
zelton Hospital soon after mid-

night. Deceased had been in
poor healt} for the last couple of
years or itiore, but last spring
she contracted flu and was taken
to the hospital. It was soon
found that there was little if any
hope of her ultimate recovery,
and her physique broke down
gradually but steadily.

The funeral arrangements were
in the hands of the B,C. Under-
takers, Prince Rupert, and the
remains were taken dawn to Ter-
race on Saturday for interment.
A great many floral tributes from
friends were sent along with the
body.

The funeral service took place
at St. Matthew’s Anglican Church
and was conducted by Rev. Rural
Dean T. J. Marsh, assisted hv
Rev. Barfoot. Rev. Marsh spoke
very feelingly of the early life of

she, with her father, had provid.
