The Drug Store, Hazelton The Omineca Herald, New Hazelton or mail direct to T. F. Shima, Hazelton Hospital It isa number of years since the outlook for the northern in- terior of British Columbia was so bright, no matter from what angle itis viewed. Better farm- ing, an early.spring, a favorable season for growing, and a pretty fair brand of-harvest weather have all worked to make a broad smile on the face of the farmer. There has been an uccasional dis appointment; there have been isolated cases of loss from one reason or another, but on the whole the northern interior is better off today than it has been for years. Thousands of tons of hay (tim- othy, clover, oat and wild) are in the barns or instacks, Hundreds of tons are yet to be put in the stacks. The hay situation is safe. Last week the more favored spots started binders in the grain fields and now the grain harvest is in full swing. Wheat, oats, rye and barley are all ripening fast. Many fields have been cut and the grain is in stooks, while some grain has been taken into the barns. The yield and the grade of all grains is higher than usual and the farm crops will represent real money to the far- mer this year. _ During the past two or three years a large number of cattle were sent to the butcher, but this year there has been lots of pasture and with lots of feed in sight it is doubtful if there will be many cattle offered for sale. The cattle seen along the roads are in the pink of condition and they all wear a broad smile when they see the huge stacks of feed put away for them this winter. A few of the farmers are now busy buying all the voung stock that ean be picked up, with the Yjintention of carrying them over. In a year or two there wili be a big demand for prime steers and FIRE, LIFE, AND ACCIDENT — Insurance Agent for the Best Companies .

The local markets of all farm for a long time to come. kinds of produce. the buyers, produced at home, such as eggs, butter, milk, pork, canned fruit, and canned and fresh vegetables. camp, f produce were never as good as they are now and as they will be The lumbering industry has been the mainstay of the local market for years, and it will continue to be one of the chief consumers, but the mining industry is looming up and creating a demand.for all There should be no trouble to dispose of every- thing that has been produced and without going very far away for There are a‘great many lines of goods that will be ‘imported, .but which should be Immense: quantities of these are used in every mining and lumber Business men throughout the interior who keep in touch with the production of tne country, as well as its requirements, are op- timistic, more so than they have been for years. ‘They talk of a big revival of business of all kinds this fall, Manv evidences are being produced now of that re- vival. The‘northern interior is away to another round of pros- perity. — Gas may be ten cents in New York, but the northern gas sel- lers still stick for a nickel over four-bits per. There are nearly as - many varieties of weather as there are brands of Scotch in a Provincial Store. The political parties seem fair- ly well satisfied now that there will be no election before the next session so that political fires have been drawn and the air is clearing. Skeena River spuds are now attracting attention from the south, where disease-free seed is needed. A good deal of propaganda has been sent out during recent months and years about reorgani- gation of the provincial police. Thus far the old organization is functioning. A few inspectors have been moved from one home town to another, but no -other changes have been noted. We do not call for any particular change in the police organization, bul why peddle so much propa- ganda and let it drop at that. Fishing in the lakes and streams of the New Hazelton district is attracting a good deal of attention from well-to-do fishermen and tourists, Local citizens should take steps to maintain the supply of fish and improve it. That it takes time to get the Dominion Fisheries Department to move is well known and new is the time to start a movement to have the lakes well stocked up. Tourists are coming ‘this way and we have the goods to offerthem. It is up to the local eitizens to cater. to those people. W.A. Served Tea The tea held under the auspices of the Women’s Auxiliary of St. Peter’s, Hazelton, on Saturday afternoon was eminently success- ful, and netted the amount of for the funds of the society. The affair was held on the rectory grounds. whose beauty, ‘always worthy of remark, waa enhanced by the brilliance of the weather, and was only rivalled on ‘the occasion by the colorful gowns of the ladies. ‘Terrace Weather ar Spur, B.C.
