ACE NE Point to Suicide What looks to have been a clear ease of suicide is the finding of the hat and eane of, Fred Nelson, a well-known Terrace resident, on the bank of the Skeena last Saturday morning. Nelson left the home of A. Olson, on Little’s Island Road, at 4 o’clock that morning and has not been seen since. When he failed to turn some time after he left the house ‘his disappearance was reported to Provincial Constable H. Ser- vice, who instituted a search which resulted in the discovery of the hat and cane not from the Olson place.

T, Kenney in his new Studebaker Six around a portion ot the fruit and garden district of Terrace. The farms, large and small; all look prosper- ous and the owners are getting good crops of all kinds of fruit and fodder. The apple crop is developing rapidly and the blight which struck the fruit early in the season is not so serious as at first feared. It isaseason blight and not due to the trees or toa pest. The yellow transparent is now on the market. Since the last trio around by the editor there has been a good deal of de- velopment and many young trees are coming along that will soon swell the apple crop materially. The greatest need of the district is more tree fruits to supply the local markets. The varieties of of all fruits best suited to the district are well known and no more experimenting is necessary. The country if ready for com- mercial production. Hatt Bros.
