OMINECA HERALD NEW HAZELTON, B.C., JANUARY 30, 1925 No. 81 Milk Depot at ‘ Prince Rupert Interior Milk Last Monday night Dr. Wrinch, M.L.A., went to Telkwa and on Tuesday afternoon met a large ntanber of farmers of the district and some of the citizens in a pub- ‘ ie meeting. He outlined what the legislature had done at the last session, but what the farm- ers had on their mind particular- ; ly was how they were to dispuse of their milk in future, | There was a jong discussion on ’ the subject and it was evident the majority preferred to market. the milk at a point closer than Van- derhoof where the nearest cream- ery is located. Prince Rupert is the natural market for all of Bulkley Valley produce and that was where the milk should be disposed of. So . a committee was appointed to go into the matter and to prepare a proposition that could be dealt with. A milk receiving depot at the coast city, to be established and operated by the government was, the decision of the committee and Dr. Wrinch agreed to take the matter up **h the government along those nes. The receiving depot, if established, is not for Bulkley Valley alone, but for all points tributary to Prince Rupert. The government is 10 continue to operate the depot until the busi ness is thoroughly established and the production of milk has inereased to such an extent that Mm the producers can take it over ®.. and aperate it with a reasonable chance of success. The meeting also decided to re- quest the Bulkley Valley Board of Trade to support the move- ment and J. P. Wheeler, local re- presentative on the executive, and Dr. Wrinch have both brought the matter to the atten- tion of the Board since the meet- ing at Telkwa. Dr. Wrinech will get. in touch with the goyern- ment at once, Telkwa Nursing.
