ALL ARE CURL AT SMITHERS

The best investment the boys of the
town of Smithers have yet made iim the
way of sport is apparently the curling
tink. Every night that they have ice

both rinks are in use, not only for one
game bnt for two and three games, and
hearly every afternoon it is the same
after business hours, of course. The
majority of the men of the town are
enthusiastic members and: ‘they are
having the time of thelr gay young
‘lives, AIL the members are not Scots
by a long way, but that is no venson
why they can not curl, .

Cronin Mine to
Be Operated
This Summer

Mrs. Anderson of Seattle, daughter
of the late James Cronin, and her hus-
band are to arrive in Vancouver early
this month to consult with Vancouver
and other. shareholders with the view
of resuming work on this well known
property. The Cronin property is na
big property and bas reached that
stage of development that a strong or-
ganization is required. A mill is re-
quired at an early dnte.and consider-
able work must be done as well as a
lot of underground work. Tt will be a
very big help to all the interior if this
property should resume work.

The annual meeting of the Bulkley
Valley Stock Breeders Association was
held on January 20th when all the.of-
ficers were re-clected. The year 1927
showed a gnin of 102 per cent in the
business transacted and also a cash
surplus, both features being very sat-
isfactory to the members. The sur-
plus was yoted for the purpose of er-
ecting suitable’ breeding pens, a lond-
ing chute and a grain ration for the
stock. «Muster Stroke will stand dur-

ing 1928 and a very “Vaux hall” boar
will arrive in the. spring.

tute held its anual meeting on Jan.
