The organization of Hazelton Agricultural and Industrial
Association marks another step in the development of the rich
district of which this town is the center. The association, which
will have as its main object the holding of an annual fair at
Hazelton, had its inception at a well-attended and enthusiastic
meeting of business men and ranchers, who unanimously endorsed
the projected organization, those present ‘pledging themselves to
further the movement in every possible way.

I? properly conducted, the fair association cannot fail to prove
of great benefit to the district, and it is distinctly up to the people
of the Upper Skeena, Kispiox Valley and Hazelton to take an active
interest in the organization and assist in making the annual fair a
success.

The committee which has been entrusted with the preliminary
work will act as provisional directors, and will be replaced by:
permanent officials when the charter is obtained. It is not too soon
for the people of the district to begin thinking of the: election of
depends, toa great extent, the future success of the project. It-is
imperative that men of the right caliber, able and willing to work
for the common good, should be chosen to conduct the affairs of
the association. It is also highly desirable that the different
sections of the district should be represented, not only on the
membership roll, but also on the hoard of directors, ‘I'he intention
of the promoters is to work for the general good, ‘They realize
that if the prosperity of the rancher, miner and prospector can be
promoted by an annual fair the Yesult will be beneficial to Hazelton
and to every other part of the district. :

‘There is. every promise:-that: the people of this part of the
‘Interior will pull together in the enterprise, and we. fee! safe in

predicting a prosperous future for the association. ‘oe
