Francois Lake

Signs of spring have at last
and the warm weather has caws-
ed much of the snow te disappear.
The farmers who have waited eo
patiently are now rejoicing in the
promise of spring.

A son was born to Mr, and
Mrs, Jos. Lougheed, of Danskin,
at the Burns Lake Hospital on
Sunday, March 29. Both mother

. and child are progressing fayor-

ably.

Messrs. Buchanan & Kellar are
still engaged in hauling hay from
Danskin to Franeois Lake, but as
several air holes are begginning
to appear in the ice, it looks as if
the lake will not much longer be
safe to travel oyer.

Asa Robinson, a farmer of
Francois Lake, who has been
spending the winter in Telkwa,
returned to his ranch and his
many friends on Wednesday of
last week. . ;

L. Muivany, who has been suf-
fering a slight relapse, is uow
quite convalescent.

Clarence Corless, of . Uncha
Lake, has gone to Kurt Unger’s
camp, where he will be engaged
in loadiag ties.
