Contribution to
Timber Output
Totals 300 Cars

Three hundred carg of poles
and piling are what the the Ter-
race district contributed to the
total output of that industry dur-
ing the vast year. The last cars
were loaded this week, and now
many men are in the woods eut-
ting for next season’s shipments,
Very few people realized that the
pole and piling industry had
reached such proportions. This
year, besides Hanson’s men, an-
other camp has been opened at
| Deep Creek, on the Kalum road,
by E. F. Duby, who is going to
ship cedar to an American firm,
His camp is in charge of Bedore.

The Terrace district was the
largest shipper of cedar this sea-
son for Hanson, but the coming
season will see the chief output
coming from Skeena Crossing,
A camp has been working’ back
of the Indian village for the last
two months and a good many
poles are now ready to be hauled,
There is a fine bunch of timber
back of the Indian village and
when snow comes many teams
will be employed getting the
material to the railway.

Time Opportune .
For Setting Out
Large Orchards

The time is now opportune for
setting out commercial orchards
in the Terrace and Skeena river
districts, The pioneers for the
bast fifteen years have experi-
mented with various varieties of
apples, plums, pears and cherries
and have demonstrated which
varieties are best adapted to the
country. There are quite a num-
ber of orchards that are doing
well, They are bearing plenty
of fruit and of the best quality,
so that there need be no mistake
in future in selecting trees, A
trip around the Terrace district
or tO any of the orchards along
the Skeena will furnish all the
information required as to what
to plant, and within a few years
the orchards will be returning a
revenue to theowner. Tree fruit
is becoming more popular with
the growers, and as for markets
for the fruit, it is just a matter
of producing enough to meet the
demand, For northern grown
fruit the demand wil! always be
greater than the supply, even
though many thousands of trees
are brought to the producing
stage,

Dunean Munro, of Telkwa,: the
Land Settlement man, was a via-
itor to New Hazelton the end of
last week, and he saw a number
of fruits, flowers and vegetables
growing which‘he would never
admit before could be produced
in the New Hazelton section, He
also admitted that he never be-
fore saw better specimens any-
where and seldom saw their
equal. There is plenty of land
around available for settlement
that is just as productive as the
land now producing. The New
Hazelton section wants settlers,
and there is no chance that those
who settle will ever be staryed
out or have to seek government
charity. ,

For Smithers Fair

A good deal of the finest pro-
duce ever raised in the north will
go from this end of the district
to the Smithers Fair, which is to
be held next Wednesday, Thura-
day and Friday. The season has
been most kind to the grower,
whose grains, grasses, fruits,
vegetables and flowers will rank
with the best grown elsewhere,
and competition, it is expected,
will be keen. Numerous entries
will also be ‘made in the ladies’
‘divisions;- and a good share of
the prizes shold come west. ’
