B Kispiox Farmers Have

a

Branch Institute Started
Meeting Held on Saturday

The organization of 1 Farmers In-
stitute for the Kispiox: valley and ad-
javent districts that wish to “join, has
been started. Last Saturday night a
meeting of those Intéresed was held in
the school house in Hazelton whem H.
(. Wrinch oveupied the chair, At the

“weeting also were S. S. Phillips and.

Geo, Oulton of Smithers. In the early
part of the evening. the attendance was
sil but later on a number more from
the town turned up. .
' The directors appointed were as fol-
‘lows:—John Love, M. Halliday, Geo.
Biernes.and P. H Sheehan, all. of the
Kispiox. These men will meet and
select thelr president and secretary,
and take the necessary steps to get in
touch with the superintendant of farm-
ers’ Institutes and beeome incorporated

Dr. Wrinch spoke at some length. on
the work being done by the agricultur-
al advisory board which operated i
conjunction with the department ofa
riculture. The members of the hoz
were the appointed delegates from th
farmers’ institute throughout the ):
vince. They are an independant by
whose duty it is to place before the de-
partment the requirements of the far-
mers, and it has been working to the
advantage of the farmers.

8S. 8. Phillips, agriculturist and hor-
ticulturist for the northern interior,
uddressed the’: Théeting on the benefits’

and advantages of the institute. He
particularity stressed: the reduction in
the vost of stumping puwder that was
allowed members, and he outlined the
plan of the government in assisting in
buying thoroughbred ‘bulls forthe use
of the institute members, The ‘govern-
ment advanced the money and allowed
the institute three yenra to repay it
without’ interest, and the government
also paid | the ‘shipping expenses,

Another thing Mr. Phillips explained
was the work being done for the child-
ren by forming calf, pig, chicken: and
similar clubs for which prizes were
offered by the department. The chief
iden was. that the children were to get
for their own use all the moneys re-
celved from the clubs. This enéour-
aged them to conduct their own affairs
and nlso created a keen interest in the

farm and the work of the farm.

Geo. Oulton of Smithers, a success-
ful farmer and dairyman, gave a very
practical talk on his experiences with
farmers’ institutes und farming in the
valley !

| There is a convention of farmers in-
stitutes to be held in Telkwa June 20
and it is desirable that the local instl-
tute complete its organization and get
i delegate to the convention, It is at

‘this convention the delezate to the ad-
visory board is appointed, a

PRINCE RUPERT
NEWS. LETTER

S Ranananeiamananendndine

That hardy annual—criticism of the
vailways because they dont frame
schedules so that tourists can stay in
Prince Rupert longer—is again in full
flower. The railways-are not nervous.
Meanwhile the citizens fume and fret,
the tourists spend a few hours and a
few cents, and life in the wide open
spaces goes along in much the game
old way. :

Louis Tromner -is dead. ‘Twenty
yeats ago he established himself in the
shoe-repairing business on 6th ave. and
in the two decades never moved locu-
tion or changed business, Louis was
a methodical and a dependable citizen
o fGerman_birth. After the war he
journled to the Fatherland, married a
widow with two sons, and looked for-
ward to declining years brightened with
famlly life, and Httle ‘comforts, when
eancer developed. So much for the
pians of men. _

The lightest assize ever held in the

week. There was but.one criminal

mited a charge of rape, and was sent
over the road for two years, with ten
lashes for company.

first: visit to the metropolfa of the

So great has been the, development
and growth of the public library at
Prince Rupert, that the time is draw-
ing near when new premises will be

to function.

Everything is running to perfection

truck has been making two trips a day
for the past week. The second ear of

ing put into shape as fast as possible.

Another Vein on

It is reported on good authority that
another blind vein has been encounter-
ed on the Owen Lake property with
four feet of good ore in the face, this
mauking six veins encountered by the
Idng tunnel being driven to tap the
showings on the original stakings on
the Wrinch property. ‘None of the
veins. cut by the tunnel thus far show
orn the surface on account of a depth
of earth and stones over the top, A
depth of over two hundred feet is ex:
pected on the veins on the Wrinch pro-
perty when the tunnel gets there. At
the present time the Owen Lake pro-
perty looks like the makings of one of
the biggest mines in northern B. C.

BUSH FIRE STARTED AGAIN

ed the Forestry Department i

The fire that started from the rail-
way bridge at Sealy spur 2 couple of
weeks ago, and which was thought to
be out following a couple ofrains, was
only awaiting an opportunity to get a
fresh start and on Thursday evening
of last week it roused itself from its
slumber and by Friday afternoon was
raging as if it had never been checked.
The forestry department got more
than a dozen men out and the rallway
company sent a gang down. During
the night | the wind | went down and the

more apparently under control. It is

Northern Land
To be Sold. to
New Settlers

A Vicetoria story says :—British
Columbia hes, almost half a million
acres of land good for agriculture, to
sell along the northern line of the Can-
adian National railway between Prince
George and Smithers, Hon. William
Atkinson, minister of agriculture, stut-
ed on his return from the north, where .
he made an inspection of these nreas
with Dr. W. H. Gaddes, colonization
commissioner. Air. Atkinson announ- .
‘ced that the government would con-
sider immediately systematic. efforts to
dispose of this land as rapidly as pos-
sible to settlers. He explained that a
great part of it had reverted to: the
crown for non-payment of taxes. Some
of it, he said, was exceptionally choice
from an agriccultural standpoint.
Efforts to sell the northern lands
will be co-ordinnted with the govern-
ment’s plans for colonizing Sumas and
Camp Lister nreas with new settlers.
It is expected the areas on the Cana-
dian National line will be offered at
exceedingly attractive prices.

A MASS OF WILD FLOWERS

Bloom in the Valleys, on the Hillsides,

in the Ponds and on the mountains ©

The ceountry about here is now at
its best. The lilacs are in full bloom
and will last for another week, but the
wild roses were in bleom last Sunday
and will continue for another couple
or three weeks, and there are lots of
them wherever there is an open space
not under cultivation. - The wild calla
lillies have been blooming at New Haz-
elton for the last two weeks, and this
is the only place in northern B, C.
where the calla lily can be seen.. As
the different flowers bloom and - pass
on another variety comes into bloom so
that the whole countryside will be a
bower of beauty until fall, In the lo-
cal gardens flowers are making (good
progress, especially the perennials, in
spite of the very dry season this year
as well as all last year, The seedings
ave not doing so well yet, but antotlier
good rain would start them ott.
