As for the situation of political af- fairs in the province there may be some doubt. Two of the aspiring parties claim they could do much better, but the govern- denying those claims—and there you are. .There is no election in sight and therefore it was not deemed necessary by any of the leaders to outline anything definite in the way of policy. A general prom- ise of making lighter the tax- payer’s burden was made by the two opposition leaders. Premier Oliver made no such promise. He frankly admitted that he did not see where there was a chance to make good such a promise, and he would not. thus mislead the ‘public. Thus the voters have three choices: To continue with the present government; to accept the statements of unnecessary and extravagant expenditures by the Oliver government made by Hon. W. J. Bowser; or try out the farmer - independent - provincial- progressive party as Ontario, Manitoba, Alberta and Saskat- chewan did. Hon. W. J. Bowser explained the extravagance of the govern- ment by the lack of Scotchmen in the Oliver cabinet, but surely no Scot could more meticulously look after the bawbees than did Hon. John when he dropped those two dimes on the hail floor at Hazelton. But, then, again, what son of Auld Scotia could ever be accused of having a. hole in his money pocket? Opposition stalwarts accuse the government of extravagance in the building of the Prince Rupert courthouse, which they allege to. have magnificent Ionic columns. The Premier offered five dollars to charity if anyone in his Hazel- ton audience could tell him what an Jonie column: was. There were no takers. ft Quick and + Deep Creek | nee ri We expect it is poor policy to any anything about the country, but there are some places east of Terrace as well as west that were 7 _ |! was cut before frost, “and that not frozen out. « In, fact, all grain ing party is most emphatic in| t never happens on the prairies. If they want seed potatoes down south we are willing to part with a few. here. Now if every- one only’ ‘planted the same variety how easy it would be to fill sev- eral carloads. We understand that John Pear- -sun and J. H. Beattie have joined the Millionaires’ Club since hay- ing. All you need’to do is to start out for a little walk and pick up most any kind of elaim you prefer, gold, silver, copper or coal, It is beginning to dawn upon us that there is something wronz with a man’s head who will try to get rich on farming, let alone make a decent living. Greene says that he has a ton of turnips to give to the first one who will come for them at once, but don’t ask him to pull them and put them in the wagon. The: turnips are good cow feed and will ran up to 16 lbs. each—occa- sionally; some are smallér, but think of the mice and don’t be fussy. x We found a man plowing among | the stumps. He had one eye closed, owing to haying some fresh lime in it. He had two legs bedevilled with rheumatism, but all be had to grouch about was how much worse off he would be if he had to ride over that old east trail to Quick without a spring seat, There should be a lot of sweet dispositions in Smithers now that Mr. Mortimer has been up with his season’s honey crop. Victory bulless oats seem to be asuccess. They yield fairly well, stand up O.K., and are early ripening. or fed whole for chicks, hogs or humans. In fact, here’s a chance to beat the government on freight charges—make your own por- ridge, : When we came to Buikley Val- ley a few years ago we were told that one could grow potatoes only in a few places or up on the hills. We were told that B.V. spuds were no good anyhow, that the only spuds fit to eat came from Asheroft. Now we find Ashcroft \looking to B.V. for some good seed spuds. We were told that it was impossible td make good butter here. In fact, even now some people know no better than to buy imported creamery butter, the B.V. dairy butter. _AProblem: A Jaboring man gets $4 a day, cash money, A farmer, when spuds are scarce, gets $3 a sack, when they are a good crop he gets $1.50, If the laborer works two days he gets $8. I£ the spud raiser handles $3, Twice a8 much work; two sacks to buy and the howling and 1jloss of soil fertility more than doubles the loss. Still farmers are such growlers. Isn’t ‘it strange?- And the laborer gets two sacks at price of one, and never a grouch, north can be had. “Prices: from $28 to'$40 an ‘acre with, long term payments.” page. 9.0" Maninfacturers of Hanall Spur, B.C. - .
