Orme Makes Good on his
Trip Through the Interior

Splendid

Duirng the past week C., H, Orme,
the Conservative candidate for Skeena
riding, made the trip from Prince Ru
pert to Endako stepping off at Terrace
and visiting around there, then to Usk
and on to Hazelton on Thursday night
then to Telkwa and Smithers for the
lust two days of the week and a rest
aver Sunday. The first, of the week

he started out igain to visit the far.

vastern end of his riding winding up
wt Endako on Tuesday night next.
Mr. Orme will then return to the coast
to visit one or two more places near
Rupert and will hold his last meeting
of the campaign in Prince Rupert on
Friday night, October 11th.

All along the line up to the present
writing he has been greeted by good
nttendance at his meetings and at no
ineeting was there any disturbance.

Every place “Mr, Orme went he got
2 fine reception and he made a splen
did impression on his audience. THe
first. Justified his snpport of Hon. It.
BK. Bennett in a way that made his
audience that he wus telling the truth.

That: gave him the immediate atten

tion of his hearers and he maintained
it ‘throughout.

At no time does Mr. Orme criticise
an opponent, but he does point’ out
that he cannot agree ‘with ail the
polictes of his opponents, nor with the
nitthods they propose to adopt. That
is every man’s right.. He stuck to the
facts as’ he saw -them and then asked
the audience to judge which kind of a
government they wished to have, one
that actually did things and made the
country go forward, or one that waa
notorious for its lact of action and of
agressive leadership, or one that pro
posed to upset everything and start all
over again.

At all the meetings Mr. Orme made
special reference to the recovery meas
ures that had been put in force by the
Conservative government and that
were now bearing fruit. He also put
stress on the measures which Hon,
Mr. Bennett propsed to take, if return
ed to power which would take Canada
forward another step to reeovery and

.t permanent period of Plenty and pros

perity.

Mr. Orme drew attention ta the tre
iendons handicap under which Hon.
Mr. Bennett assumed office—a avorld
Wide depression with every nation try
tng te produce all things to maintuin
themselves, and errecting high tarriff
whlls to keep out goods from all other
nitions and to encourage ‘their own
peaple to produce ; then a tremendous
Iuvden of debt, the interest alone on

which, was n greater snm° than the| —

total revenne ‘of the Dominion only .a
few years ago. Debt was everywhere
and the. people could riot see any way
to get out, nor could the governments.
There was aiso an adverse trade bal
ance of.a hundred and thirty million
dollars, and this has been changed to
a trade balance in favor of Canada of

nt Hundred fifty million dollers, or an].

increase in Canada’s » export business
of nearly $00,000,000, and by the way
that increase in exports is increasing
rapidly every year, Canada is awny
up near :the top. in petting back to nor
nal: conditions. - neh Ok !

Mr, Orme dealt, with | the “Ottniva
trade agreements which had been . the
chief -cause of Canada’s rapid. ‘strlag ‘
to recavery,. although | the Liberal: ton].
posttioii,: lead: by :Hon.., Mr King,’ had
been ‘very ‘determined: in ‘oppoaing. the
agreements, ‘and ‘now .state ‘that: they | a
will’ not be bound. by. them,

Meetings Held

able consideration, although today the
problem was nothing like it had been
and it is getting less each month,
thanks to the measures taken by the
Conservative government, <

Mr. Orme went through the whole
list, and it Is a long one, of the meas
ures taken by the Conservatives to
get Canada back on It feet, and he told
of What the leader and the Premier
had in view to still further assist the
people of the Dominion. Any one- of
these acts, under normal times, would
have assured the party a return to
power for two or more terms longer.

The Bennett gorenment was putting
legisIation on the statute books,. end |
‘puting them into force, which, a few
yenrs ago would not have been thonght
possible by either of the two | great’
parties, It took a strong man to ‘get
such mensnres through the House or
to advocate such measures as the Pre
mier wes now advocating.

Mr. Orme, in closing said, “I am
lubeNled a Conservative, but I retain
my personal independunce, and I hold
tothe right to support any measure
that would benefit Canada, irrespec
tive of the source of that measure.
If I am elected IT promise you: faithful
service, to my supporters and oppon
ents alike.”

T. J. Harvey of Prites Rupert, of .
the law firm of Williams & Manson, |
wos the next speaker,’ and this” ‘was ”
the first political trip he had ever |
made and the first time he had” dig ‘
cussed politics from the political plat!
form. He was assiting Mr. Orme at
this time because he considered him
best possible man that Skeenn could
select to represent them at Ottawa,
He was supporting the Conservative
party because of the many beneficial
acts that party had brought ‘into - ef
fect and because of those the party
proposed to bring. into effect,

Mri Harvey referred to the utter:
nonsense talked, by Ian McKenzie on
his trip through the district in support ,
of Mr. Hanson when he siiid that the,

office might close out the rallway line
from Red -Pass to Prince Rupert. He
pointed out that most of the debt bur
den of the C.N.R. was erented during
the Inst Liberal parliament and partl
cularly duri ing 1029 when. the revenues
‘of the country ond of the raflway were
the greatest they had ever been,” In
1229 alone, the Liberal government,
wider Mr. King, had permitted the
railway to add $461,000,000. to- the
debt of the rallway,

Mr. Harvey next teok up the Mar
keting Act and told of the opposition
of the Liberals to that act, and if the
‘Liberals ond the say they would ruin
the force of the act and tnke it out of
the hands of the producers. and give
the power into the hands of poltticul
supporters,

The provincial police and the C, N.

the person who broke the lock on the
switch at the spur this side of Bulkley
Canyon. It appears that the switch
lock was broken and the switch left
open some time between Thursday nf
ternoon of last week and Saturday
afternoon. The discovery of the act
was made Saturday afternoon as the
wayfreight went to back on the spur
to allow the passenger west bound to
pass. Before the wayfrelght could be:
stopped two freight cars had gone:
through. Had that been the passenger i.
coming from the east the whole train;
would have gone onto the short spur.

Roads, Crops,
Country and a
Much Wealth

Owing to the public works equip
ment on the job at John Brown Hill
on the main highway and to the fact
that getting past them was attended
by a certain amount of:-risk, the Editor
returned home from Smithers via the
high road—the old road that goes via
J. C, K, Sealy’s farm and over the
Butkley river bridge at Morieetown.
The high road was found in good
shape aml good time could be made
over it. -In facet it was not as rough
ins the sa called main high way. At
the Senly ranch threshing was in pro
gress and Mr. Sealy and two men were
‘making oats and chat to the king's
‘taste. Mr. Sealy had a great crop of
al kinds of fodder. His several im
:mense hay b ArDs are full to the roo?
“and then some. while he had one hig
stuck of straw from the threshing and
said that before he was through the

i whole yard in which he was working

womld be full of straw. The grain is
of a high grade this year and he hag
hopes of having a fair income from hig
farm ibis rear.

The wenther has been particularly
fine the past week. It is ideal for a
motor trip for pleasure, and the trip
over the high road is a treat just now.
In fact anyone who has the time, and
ean get hold of enough money to buy
a tank of gas should take that drive
and continue on through Telkwa and
to the Round Lake country. It is an
inspiration, and that is what most of
the. people need now.

The High Level
Crossing 0. K. ©
Money Ready

On September 11th the Board of
Capadian Railway Commissioners ap
proved the high level crossing over
the Canadian National Railway at
10th Avenue, New Hazelton, and put
it the class of Grade Al which means
that the Board of Railway Commis
sionerswilt pay seventy per cent of the
cost of the crossing up to $7,400, and
the provi re will pay the other thirty
per cent. he cost of maintenatice is
to be bor ' by the Commission and the
province equally.

‘This high level crossing will close
two low level crosings, one on Ninth
Ave. aud one on 11th Ave, both of
whieh are very dangerous: cossings.

For years the citizens of New Hazel
ton have been trying to get this work
done, but for one reason or another no
uction could be secured. But at the
last session of Parliament the Bennett
government put an extra million dol
Int into the level crossing fund for the
purpose of illiminating o9 many of the
dangerous railway crossings ag it
possibly could; also to provide work
for men ont of employment. With the
extra money in sight the local people
again got busy and with the support
of the local members got the matter
befare the commission with good and
satisfactory results.

The right of way has already been
cut out on the west side of the tract
and everything is ready for the pro
vincial department of public works to
set busy and put .the crossing.in: It.
expected this will be done this fall, in
fact the work should start any day.
There will be 2 eut on the east stde of
the trock and a considerable fill on
the West side, One good feature is
that this will be a permanent work
a part of the Great North road to the
Yukon. and Alaska.
