{INDIAN AND GRIZZLEY MET IN
‘A BATTLE ROYAL WITH THE
INDIAN WINNING OUT

Folin Thominie,.an. Indian. of Babine,

cheountered nu grizzley bear in the
neighborhood of twenty-six mile on
the Huzelton-Babine trait. As the Tn-
dion was hunting for bear he took a
snot mt it, and as the hear was not so
particular about going to Babine to act
as a door mat, he took a crack at the
Indian at close quarters, The hear
did some damuge to the Indinn’s head
and back, but the Indian was a game
roostey and he kept plugging shells in
to the hear until finally the griazzley
had fo quit. The Indian arrived back
in Babine with his bear, but he was
not in as good eondition as when he
left the reserve. Word was sent in to
the Indian Agent and as soon as the
local Indian got wind of the affair a
lot of wild rmmors went about, wind-
fine np with o story of an dead Indian
mndoa dead hear lying on the trail in
a laying embrace. But that wars just

Prairie Party
Appreciative of

Geo. W. McPhee, K. ©, M. P..’ for
Yorkton, Sask, accompanied by Mrs.
McPhee and two sons and a daughter,
have heen guests this week of Olof and
Mrs. Hanson at their summer home at
Lake Kathlyn. For several years at
Ottawa Olof has been telling Mr. Me-
Phee about the wonderful country that
he (Olof) represented, and finally. his
sent nelghber began to think that per-
haps there was something in what
Hanson said. ‘Chis year be decided to
accept Mr. Hanson’s invitation te vis-
it him. He brought his family along
so as to have plenty of witnesses.

On Tuesday “Mr. Hangon brought Mr.
Mel'hee and his two sons by car down
to New. Hazelton aud on. through to
the pole yard at’ Nash where they ‘had
dinner, looked aver the ‘pile of poles,
wntthed the loading operations, and
then returned and went ont to. Mike
George’s camp whers they saw the
pole industry at the beginning. They
had supper there and returned to New
Hazelton in the evening and late re-
turned ta Smithers.

Mi. MeFPhee told the Herakl that it
was a wonderful experience. Hanson,
he said. hind not exaggerated the vast
wealth of the country he had not said
euily enough about the heauty of the
vountry and he had not begun to teli
nhout the proxpects of the country.

Mr. McPhee said that it was quite
impossilie to take in all that one saw
an sneha trip its Mr. Hansen’ had
tnken them that day. One shoukl do
it in a week. The scenery alone wes

and goodness knows there are lots of
them. bronght a new lot of scenery.
The mountain streams of cold, clear
fast water, the rivers, canyons (much
larger than the prairie cooties) the
fills, lukes and fishing; the trees, the
motntains, the valleys ind the beauti-
ful green fields, Those things alone
are enough, but we have seen, he said,
xo many ferns of industry, such as the
pole and tie business of Mr. Hanson,
the gold and silver mines and the con!
mine at Telkwa. You fellows here
have a wonderful heritage, IT knaw a
whale det more now than T did before.

Mr. MePhee suid that this was the

Miss Annie /Zt#wrence was the first
nurse to gradnnte from the Hazelton
Hospital awat back in 1909, she just
had to stop off to give the hospital
and the district, the. once over. She
found. the same doctor on the job and
she found a few of the residents here
whe were here when she graduated,
lat very few. But there have been a
great inany changes in the entire dis-
trict in those twenty-five years, in
fnet she could hardly tell that it was
the sume country, except for. Rocher
de Boule mountain mid Dr. Wrineh.
The new hospital wrs most interesting
to her, as were also other evidences of
a hig development. While. Miss Law-
rence his Kept: mare or less in tonch
