An Appreciation

“To aL Our Good Friends of Hazelton and
New Hazelton

DEAR FRIENDS:

Finding it impossible to meet and
personally thank you each for the
very great kindness you have shown
us ‘on the eve of our departure from
the district, Mrs. Wrinch and I would
ask you to allow us to thank you

through:.the columns. of your local |

paper for. your many kind exprea-
sions of affection and for your great
liberality in-contributing to the more

.. tangible reminders of. your. regard in.

the valuable presents. that have been
handed. to us during the _ Past few
days.

We cannot possibly tell you how
much these things mean to us. We
feel that the services we have been
permitted to render to some of you
individually, and to the community
aga whole, are only such as anyone

_ else would naturally have rendered

under similar circumstances, and do
not begin to deserve the high praise
with which you have referred to
them.

To have served our people as we.
have tried to do has been a pleasure
in itself, and has ever carried: with
it. itg own reward. This is always
most gratifying where one is per-
mitted in the exercise of a profession
or service such a3 is ours: to see

.

“tangible® “results * folowing: such sete:

vic& and to participate in the joys

of. patient and friends, in. watching |

the restoration to health and active.’

life of one who has ‘been for the
time being laid aside from life’s ac-
tivities, and whose condition of
health has been a matter of most
serious anxiety to the relatives and
friends.

Tn tthis view it ‘seems to ua that
our part has been very much magni-
fied, and your kind expressions arid
gifts far outweigh what we might
deserve or should expect. Neverthe-
less, ‘all are most. acceptable to us,
not only for: ‘their | ‘detual worth—
which is no small matter itself—but
very much more as evidence of the
kindly spirit of appreciation which
they convey, and of which they will
always remind us.

From our hearts we think you.
We feel rich in the knowledge we
have so many very real friends in
our home community, We wish you
all the richest blessingy that can
come from a- bountiful and all-wise
and loving Providence, ‘We cherish
ithe, ‘hope that: the future will afford
as” opportunities. for “renewing and
again enjoying the pleasant associa-
‘tions that have been ‘stirs “while Liv-
ing in the Hazelton—New Hazelton
community, . .

We are yours in affectionate

had already begun to feel the relief of having no professional or other

Mrs, Wrinch was also enjoying the trip immensely. 7-Once they

got away, Dr. and Mrs, Wrinch began to realize what the people of
this district meant to them and how the people here felt toward them.
In this “eannection the doctor has written to the: people of this district

Enthused By
Peace District!

. Mr: and Mrs.: W. E. Gow returmed
to South Hazelton recently following.
a vacation which was spent at Sek-
smith, Alberta,:Pence River Block,
Mr.: Gow is the C.N.R, agent at South
Hazelton and one of his hobbies is
begging nice fat grain-fed geese in
the Peace River country. This year
he got a fine lot, besides many ducks.

When Bill Gow goes on a holiday
he keeps his observation window wide
open and thus keeps himself up to
‘date, This year. he is more enthusi-
astic over conditions than he hag beén
for some. years, He igs not like the
statisticians who sit in their offices in
the far East-and talk about 1926 lev-
els. Bill tells us that the Peace River
has never had sugh a season since
1929—the great boom year. The en-
tire Peace River had « wonderful
crop, The six feet of snow the daily
press apoke about was four inches of
aniovw, which was entirely gone in a
few hours and which held -threshing
up only three or four days.. When he
was there. nearly half the threshing
was done and the other half was be-
ing handled in record time. He. says
that the Peace River, including the

els this year, and they are getting 90

cents and 4 Hollar a bushel for it,
‘Por the ffrst time since 1929 the

Bill Gow still thinks that the Peace

for young people with intestinal for-
titude. _

After’ forty years of practice we |.

finally succeeded last Thursday in
getting our hand caught in the press, _
with results not at all favorable to
either editorial or mechanical work.
When his royal highness gave our in-
jury the once over he said we would

least a month, ”~ ‘

We had just started printing the
paper, and. when the doctor finished
with us it was supper time. During
the evening we got word to L. B.
Warner of the Interior News and the
following day he came down from
Smithers and finished the press work
for last week,

While Mr, Warner was here we
made arrangements with him to set
up and print the Omineca Herald at
his office for the next few weeks. The
Hereld will, for those weeks, go into
‘the mails on Saturday intead of on

In like manner the Interior News

will be able to give our customers

Our thanks are extended to the

their kindness in coming to our. aid

Now Blocked

Two level crossings at New Hazel-
‘ton are now closed and all trafiic is
routed over the high level crossing
on Tenth avenue. A great improve-
ment -has thus been made and two
very dangerous leve! crossings have
been done away with. The high level

- ‘}erossing is also one more link in the

main highway past and west across
the northern part of the province. It
is also another link in the great north
road which: will connect New Hazel-
ton with the Yukon and Alaska in the
north and with South America in the
south. The high level bridge which
was built a few years ago is another
link in the north and south road. At
various points along the route other
links lave been built and are being
built, Much of the road is being put
in shape so: that at some future date
it can be hard surfaced and the var-
jous links connected up, Of course

PAUL POLE DEALER VISITS
DISTRICT -- IMPRESSED
WITH RESOURCES

TST.

Mr. Sperry of Minnéapolis, who is ©
in the pole business in a large way,
visited Northern British Columbia
this week. In company with Olof:
Hanson, M.P., and Austin EB. Good-
enough, manager of Hanson Lumber
and Timber Company, he gave. the
Hanson pole piles the once over on
Tuesday and Wednesday.

Mr. Spenry reports very. favorably.
on the outlook for the pole business”

during the immediate: fiature and: for.

some time to coma, basing his. state-
ments on the fact that there has been
no replacement of existing pole lines
for the past half dozen years or
more, This alone will make pretty
fair business without any. new con-
struction. He also referred to the
general increased prosperity: ‘through-,
out the East, and this, he says, is
by no means entirely due to: tthie big |
expenditure of federal. moiiey.-

This was Mr. Sperry’s first visit
to Northern British Columbia, «and
he does -not."anderstand why "there, ;
is not a much greater industrial and
agricultural population, He says it
is bound'to come sooner or later.

The American continent, he fig-.
ures, is the one place the people of.
the troubled nations will look to in
the near future as a place to. build,
