NEW HAZELTON, B. C.,. WEDNESDAY, TUN 10, 1981,

rue tare MRS. BEDORE

. A feeling of great: sadness passed |

Tbert ‘Bedore had | passed away in the
early’ howrs of the. morning. Born in

was inher 34th year. She was Tar-
ried in England the stimmer of 1919,
and with her husband she came. to
Terrace on Oct. 6th ‘the. same year,
and had been. 4 faithful partner in A8-

wa Capt. Benson's team desired of anti-
mee cipated: From the start it was quite
fe apparent that the-beys from the rail-
Bway berg had done some’ practicing
Re since thelr last vislt to this neck of
fm the woods. ‘The score was 19 to 4 in
man favor of the visitors. -The Hazelton
meg boys tried hard enough, but they did
fm uot seem to connect and the Smithers

B boys were able'to place most of thelr
Me hits where there was no Hazelton mah
to interfere. with the. ball. Perry
m York was in the box for the home
team and it was his second public ap-
mae pearatce in that” position, He seem-

f cd to be a little nervous at first and
allowed a lot of hits, but he got down
- to business towards the end and put,

St over some good stuff, but it was too |:

late, He did not get as good support
' ws might be. expected. Cliff Warner,
the veteran pltcher for Smithers, was
ae ii the box for the first half;-but Cliff
ae is getting stiff and heavy, He put
Smithy Arnold in for the last haif.
But, the Hazelton boys “did not ‘seem
to be able to hit either pitcher very
extensively. The game was, however,
good practice and the Hazelton boys
? were able to see their weak spots. It

will help them out on their anticipat-
# ed game with Terrace at an early date

MR, JAMES GROAT A VISITOR

James Groat of Smithers was one of
the interested spectators at the ball’
gome in Hazelton last Sunday. He
admitted that he had not been this far

to his surprise there were: visible’ evi-
dence of human habitation, which, he
fe had grown to believe was centred in
™. the GO. N. BR. yards at ‘Smithers. _He
expressed. surprise to see the bright
Mm sunshine aud: blue sky so far away
‘from home He was of the opinion
# that Duke Harris and Dornberg had
| shipped all the mountains away to
, the smelters, while the baseball park
‘and the green frass were. revelations
to him. Jim thinks now he has been
overlooking a bet.

Bush Fire Did

_ Much Damage
7 ‘Newitt Farm

Charlie Newitt, -€ Glentanna, one of
the: first” settlers in that. part of the
Bulkley ‘Valley, was burned out last
Thursday afternoon by 2 bush fire out
of. control. The tire hoa - been burn-
ing. “for some time. and Inst week dur-
ing a. high wind..it, is reported to have
jumped - the Buikley river and then
started ‘to ‘work tts way -north. Mr!
Newitt was in the house looking after
a- batch of bread he had Im the oven
and his place wag in flames before he
was aware of it All bis buildings,
were wiped out, with their contents.
His” chicken house was among thosé
destroyed and also 45 hens. He got
some:75 young chicks ont of their own
house. He turned. his horses - loose
and the cattle were out at pasture so:
he believes that the animals’ yould be
safe from. the fire.

‘The farmers of the Bulkley . Valley’
renlize the seriousness of bush or of
clearing fires at thig time of the sea-
son and some of them, are quite work-
ed: up about the apparent. carelessness |
of some who get a fire permit and.
then let the fire go. 4 Quite a number
of farmers have _ been quite _ heavy
Joogers in recent years from uncon-
trolled clearing fires. There was o
strong feeling in some. quarters that
the government be requested to abol-
ish the fire permit system, and that
after the first of May no fires be al-
lowed to be started. With the permit
system there does not seem to be suf-
ficent care taken in issuing the permit
and then the party with the permit is

Tories Object
To Increase in
Telephone Rate

“The executive of the Skeena. Dis-
trict Conservative Association was in
session in Hazelton last Wednesday
night. Members were present . from
Hazelton, New Hazelton, South Haz-
elton; Terrace, Litile Canyon, Smith-
ers, Telkwa and Moricetown. Presi-
dent O. T. Sundal of Terrace was in
the chair, Among other things - dis-
cussed and acted wpon waa an increase
in the cost of having a government
telephone on one’s premises. The for-
mers of the Bulkley . Valley received
notices recently that in addition to

through the local exchanges. That is
in effect wiping out any service that
the telephone might be. For thirty
dollars a year the telephone company
ov service, will permit a subscriber tu
taik oniy to those on his own party
line. A. call to any place in town is
ai long distance call now. The Con-
servatives instructed their heeretary
to protest to the Dominion Govern-
ment Telegraphs and Telephones.
The service rendered over a party
line is bad enough and unsatisfactory
enough at any time and under the best
of circumstances, If the ’ additional
costs are persisted in many of the far-
mers will take the phones. out, a step
away back to the dark ages, but costs
must be consideretl on the farm as
well os elsewhere.
