business. Mr. Brady is giving a lot of
attention to the Halibut industry, and
to the position of the American fisher-

Is Home From
Long Session .

Dy, HG. Wrineh, MM. t. A, for ‘the
Skeena ‘riding, arrived home from Vic-
toria.on - Thursday morning of last
week. He took quite an active part
in the work of the opposition, although
he did not overburden .the members
with long and frequent speeches. . He
said what be had to say. on several
matters, that were, of particular inter-
est. to, the northern “part of the prov-
ince, . .

He considered the session quite ; an
experience, both for
and for the opposition. With the ex-
ception. of the Premier none of the cab-
ine ministers had ever held similar po-
sitions nnd most of them had not even
sat in the house before. On the oppo-
dition side there was ‘none who had
been in that position before. Iii spite
of the fact that both sides of the house
were new in their respective jobs a lot
of work was put through and some of
considerable importance.

Speaking of the Canadian North
Fastern Railway, the Doctor stated he

‘opposed granting the charter on the

grounds that it was not in the interest
of Skeenn to have a new Line built to
the. north when the natural route for
‘the Peace River country was via the

to bulld to Fort Graham it was net a
very great undertaking to continue in-
to the wheat. areas ‘of the Peace and
thus attract freight away from the iwo
main railways and also the P, G. FE:
He also opposed the ©, N. E. charter

deal the province might undertake in
connection with the P. G. BE. He did
not see how the P, G.-E. could be suc-
cessfully disposed of if another rail-
way. was to build into the Peace River
country and take the: ‘wheat direct to
the coast. The hope of the P, G. EB.
was the wheat traffic from the Peace
Riv er country,

He spoke of a couple of ‘amendments
he was able to get passed in comiectlon
with the, Village, Municipality Aet A
village, municipality, having an income
of, less ‘thay. $5, 000 woul, not, be called

enter into an agreement with a private |

Copper Prices

In Local Mine

_ With the price of copper up to 24
cents and a big demand for it a good
degl of interest is being taken in cop-
per projerties. There is great  pos-
sibilities of the Rocher de Boule and
other copper properties on Rocher de
Boule mountain belng opened. up onteé
more. W. 8. Harris secured a bond
on the Rocher de Boule mine and turn-
ed it over to the Aurimont Mining Co.
Several cars of ore were taken out and
shipped to the smelter.

Last week Mr. Hollister, represent-
ing the Granby Co, at Anyox made an
examinntion of the ‘property for his
company azd on Tuesday morning he
returned to the coast to make his re-
port. Ikt_is probable that other repre-
sentatives from the same company will
be along if the company is favorably
impressed.

_ Last Sunday Major North and J.
Boulding, both of Smithers, made a
trip up to the Rocher de Boule and
nadé an examination. It was the first

Speaking of the Duthie Mines Majer
