In Speech 1

In the Legislature last week E. T.
Kenney, ALTA. for Skeena, addressed |
the members and the government and
he had quite a number of constructive}
idens to offer. Below will be found
a number of extracts from his speech : |

He réconnmended! - “that — while the
Yuko Territory of .gome ‘210,000 sq.
miles would be of ‘great value.to the
province of B. C.'yet he was a great
heliever in minority ‘Tights and con-
sidered the -peaple of - that” district
should have Some , voice in their future
destiny. Chie =

Te suggested’ that eh’ Dominion
government, in. riew of the nigh costs

sotne -£,600, mnny of whom are Indians

should wive that. territory the alter- _
native of uniting with British Cohn |°

Ia or reverting .to. unorganized terti-
1-ry. He thonght that there would be
lo question as to shat course would

be adapted, ond when the amalgamit-|

tion took place it would provide ample
territory for .two provinces on _the

Pte coast, aud by following the 82]

ineridian of ‘latitude, it would make
im. itlead province in) what is now
known ms Northern British Columbia.

Ife strongly aecommended that a
certified assayer be placed in charge
of the sampling plant’ at Prince Ru-
pert to expedite the. returns to the pro
gpectors, and ‘to do the free assays
‘Pal allowed to the prospectors.

He also urged the return of quor

In concluding he pleaded ‘for social
security for our citizens who hare
been endeavoring to keep off of reef
Yor the past six or seven years, by in-
dustriousiy employing themselves, the

familie aud others dependent upon
them. This he stated was the largest
eroup in the province, and it was the
duty of the government to give that’
cousideration to their problems whic

the late summer and it was finally
found necessary to send him south to
be treated by specialists. He reached
a low ebb about three weeks ago but
rallied and appeared to be well on the
road to recovery. His condition at
this time was 50 indicative of a suc-
cessful’ convalescence that his faetber
returned to his. business here and it
was 0 great shock to everyone to leary
of his sudden passing. Harold was 4
quiet, unassuming lad of eleven years
of age, a great favorite amung his

whole district extends its deepest
sympathy to the bereaved parents and

A meeting was held here last week
to investigate the possibilities of ob-
taining a provincial public library.
Miss Jessle Sargent of the Prince
George library was. present to. outline
the plan upon which these. libraries
are operated and those present at the
meeting were very enthusiastic. The
government supplies so many books
for each dollar membership received
and with this point in view a canvas
is to be made of the town, and another

meeting will be held in the near future

A truck driven by W. Foley of Smi-
thers and a car driven by G. Hendley
of Government Ranch met in a head-
on collision on the highway near Hu-
bert last Friday night. There was
considerable traffic on the road at the .
time’ and, although the accident was
unavoidable, both vehicles were badly -
damaged. Fortunately, however, no
one was seriously hurt, the major cas-
ualty suffered being the loss of a-few

teeth by an occupant: of the car.
