I capable manner, discussed briefiy
¥; but thoroughly the business of
+] the legislature at its last session,

‘approval of the audience and
tended to remove doubis of the

Heard Minister Speak
J. D. Wells and others visited
Terrace on Friday night to attend
the Liberal meeting, at which
Hon T. D. Pattullo made an illu-

minating address. Ina very
lucid manner the minister showed
the direction of expenditure and
revenue, economy and efficiency,
the trend ot human requirements
and governmental policy. . He
emphatically denied. the charges
of extravagance made against the
government by the Third Party,
which, hé said, had not eyolyed
one plan for the amelioration of
the public ills that are charged
to the goyernment by that party
and the pessimists, who groaned
because there were no xod- -men
of supernatural power at the helm
of the ship of state. The speaker
predicted there would be no pes.
simists in heaven, for it would

mot be heaven if f they v were there.

OVERHEARD AROUND

NEW HAZELTON

The Canadian Nationa! Rail-
wavs have issued a new map of
Canada, showing very prominent-
ly the immense mileage being
operated by that corporation.
The Omineea Herald thanks R.
F. McNaughton, assistant general
freight and passenger agent at
Prince Rupert for a copy of this
map.

Hon. T. D. Pattullo, minister
of lands, addressed a meeting in
Prince George recently and stated
that the pulp mill enterprise at
Prince George would be started
this year.

The bear and groundhog saw
their shadows last Saturday,. so
that the worst of the winter will
probably come at the tail-end.

Local young people had another
dance last Friday night.

Recently Charles Barrett, of
Barrett Lake, shipped a carload
of timothy seed. to the east,
where the demand for his timo-
thy seed is greater than the sup-
ply. Mr. Barrett has for several
years made a decided success of
growing timothy for seed and has
developed a big trade for it. At

Barrett’s timothy scored 98 points

KE. E. Orchard headed the poll
in the municipal eiections in Smi-
thers last week, and along with
him are James Groat, another new
man, and N. P. Moran, of the
first council. The citizens of
Smithers selected a live wire in
their first choice and it is safe to
sav the town will be on its toes
during the next vear or two. In
addition to Mr. Orchard the citi-
zens selected two good substan-
tial men to work with ‘him, and
the new council is now down to
work,

On earth, he said, they were in-
capable of enlightened evolution-
ary thought, so there was no
other place for them but hell.
Laughter and applause greeted
this statement of the minister,
Election of officers of the Liberal
Association followed the address,

Residents of Usk are grieved
to learn of the death of Mrs.
Elizabeth Shorkey, who with her

infant daughter passed away on

Tuesday in Prince Rupert. The
deceased lady, who was 28 years
old, was the wife of John Allan

Shorkey, a local logger, and was

a native of England. The fun-
eral took place in Prinée Rupert,

Nurses’ Residence Looms
Bright on Horizon Now |
Hospital had Good Year

At the annual meeting of the
patrons of the Hazelton Hospital
a resolution was moved by Rev,
Victor Sansum and A. A. Connon
instructing the Advisory Board
to go into the cost of a nurses’
residence and equipment; to as-
certain the views of the method-
ist Missionary Society, what sum
would be available from that de-
partment and to report back to a
4 special] meeting of the patrons.

After a number of years con-
sidering this desirable addition
to the institution the time has ar-
rived for real action and it is-ex-
pected the nurses will be housed
in their new residence before an-
other annual meeting,

The Hospital requires more ac-
commodation for patients and the
nursing staff is increasing so that
their present quarters are inade-
quate in every respect. The new
residence will relieve the situa-
tion and meet a long felt need.

The annual meeting of the
patrons was held in the Method-
ist church on Thursday evening
and was largely attended. In
future the annual meeting will be
held the first Thursday in Febru-
ary instead of the fourth Thurs-
day in January,

The patron’s representatives to
the advisory board, Messrs, Sar-
gent, Anderson and Turnbull,
were re-elected and mr Sargent
continues as chairman of the an-
nual meeting.

The usual votes of thanks were
passed and a social hour was en-
joved Miss Hogan, Mrs Chappell
and Miss Smith contributed to the
musical program and the nursing
staff served refreshments

That The Hazelton Hospital is

by the fact that the annual bud-
get calls for an expenditure of
well over $20,000 for maintenance
and operation alone, and the year
just closed has been the best year
in the wav of collection of ac
counts and fees the Hospital has
had for some years, in fact since
1914, and yet there is a very
large amount due the institution
which should be paid, and will

However, during the past year
the finances have enabled the
management to make a good

which were badly needed, but

Since work was started on re-

years ago, something like five

the outlook is such that the Hos-
pital management feel encourag-
ed to continue developing the
institution,/not only to keep: ‘pace
with the actual demands of the
population, but somewhat in ad-
vance of those demands.
