Election Date Set

Tuesday, September 14, will be
election day throughout the Do-
minion, announeed Premier Rt.
Hon. Arthur Meighen in Ottawa
on Tuesday eyening last. It is
less than a year since the last
election, but at that time the
people of Canada made such a
mess of things that they are be-
ing given an opportunity to try
again, in hopes that they have
decided what they want, and are
prepared to give the other fellow
an equal chance with themselves
to live in decency. With the
people of Canada this is nota
matter of one party or another
getting into office. It is a case
of deciding which policy is best
for Canada as a growing nation
—free trade or low tariffs, or a
tariff which will protect all in-
dustry in Canada (farming in-
cluded) from unfair competition
from other countries. Class
legislation and group govern-
ment have proven a failure and
a wonderful waste of time and
money. There is no room in
federal affairs for sensationalism,
Either of the old parties must be
given a substantial working ma-
jority or the country will remain
at a standstill.

Hon. Dr. W. H. Sutherland,
minister of publie works in B.C.,
announced upon his return to the
south that the main highway
would be extended from New
Hazelton to Terrace within the
next two years. That, at least.
is a little more definite than his
previous announcement that it
would reach Terrace eventually.

The Liberal Association of
Skeena will meet in convention
in Prince Rupert on Saturday to
re-nominate Fred Stork. There.
could hardly be anyone else go
before the convention, unless the
present member wished to retire
for business reasons, and there
has been no word of that.

Dugald Donaghy, who repre-
sented North Vancouver in the
last Dominion parliament, has
announced his withdrawal from
active politics.- He will be a loss
to the Liberals from B.C., as he

was the late government's heavy

man on the customs investigation
committee, ig!

For some reason the P.G.E.
Railway, reeently ‘‘taken out of
politics’, has been unearthed and
trotted back into the political
arena again. It would be better
to leave that railway alone for
the time being, if political ‘pres-
tige is the object. of those who

unearthed it,

**Bob’’ Smith, son of Mrs. Mary
Ellen Smith, has been mentioned
as a candidate to contest Van-
couver Centre against Hon. H.
H. Stevens. It might as well be
“Bob’’ as the ex-premier. .

The reputation established du-
ring the past by Canadian-bred
and Canadian-owned cows was
upheld recently when, at the end
of a 305-day test held under the
rules of the Canadian Record of
performance, the Quebec-owned
Ayrshire cow Nellie Osborne of
Elmshade 16th broke the world’s
record for milk and butter.fat
production, and also set a new
record for the breed in Canada.
During the period of observation
the cow. produced 21,251 pounds
of milk and 909 pounds of butter-
fat,

Asan aftermath to the after-
noon of sports on the New Hazel-
ton athletic grounds, the ladies
in charge of the refreshment

booth put on dance in the hotel
on Saturday night. There was a
fair attendance and an enjoyable
time was spent until midnight.
