The High ch Level
Bridge Must go

Say Engineers

_ When the minister and deputy min-
ister and the chief bridge man for the
provinee was here last week the chief
eoncern was about the high level
bridge over the Bulkley river at Hag-
wilget. The engineers for years have
teen condeming the structure and ap-
parently condeming the site as well for
numerous engineers have been employ-
ed yenr after year to find a better or
another site. Thus : far success has
not been theirs.

The one site which might be sub-
stituted, 900 feet up stream from the

present. bridge, would permit a reagon-~

abble crossing, bout it would also pro-
vide a long six per cent grade and a
considerable new road
Naturally the local people do not like
it and especially those engaged heul-
iimber and ore to the station.
However,
that further information was desir-
able and necessary before the site was
definitely decided upon usd that infor-
mation will be dug _up ‘this summer.
Thus the construction of the new
bridge will bbe delayed until fall any-
wiry. But a new bridge is necessary
necording to the engineers, That new
one is to be a two way bridge and {t
will be built to handle all the traffie
that is offered for many yénrs to come
all of which is quite satisfactory lZ the
engineers take into consideration the
cost to the people using the bridge If

: they have to haul half a mile further

aver a six per cent grade.

OFF TO VICTORIA

r, Wrinch was in’ Terrace a couple
of "han this week culling on his con-
stituents and looking over the outlying
sectiuns to see what the road require-
ments were,
to any details of what he found he
quite probably discovered that lots of
money ean still be spent on what are
now called farmers ronds, vin, those
side toads which enable the settlers
to connect np with the main highway.

FIRST CATTLE CLUB FORMED

Terrace People are Going into Dairy
Business in Ernest—Will Get
Good Stock to Start

As a result of the movement in the
Terrace district to increase the output
of dairy products a cattle club has now
been formed there with Henry Frank
as the head and his son as secretary.
The organization will be completed
and the local man sent below to buy
the required number of dairy cows.
The club was organized according to
the provisions made by the Land Set-
tlement Board and the same as num-
erous clubs were organized in the Bul-
kley Valley and east. Col. Latta, the
chairman of the Board was in Terrace
and assisted in ‘getting the club
started. He isin charge of the cattle
elub financing and he gave the Terrace
people a lot of valuable help. When
the new stock arrives the dairy busi-
ness will be under ay and it is a safe
prediction’ that it will not -be long be-
fore Terrace farmers will be buying
their own cattle and in car lots.

Dr. Turpil went down to Terrace
on Thursday morning for the day.

Mr. and Mrs. Jack Stanyer of Fran-
eals Lake ‘are guests of Mrs. Sawle.

Presentation to
Rey. T. Marsh
on Sunday Last

A unique and Interesting occasion
was witnessed in St. Matthews church
on Sunday evening July 10th. The
church was filled to capacity. Rev.
W. Barfoot of Saskatoon, but this sum-
mer in Prince Rupert, delivered a
splendid sermon. After a few words
by the rector, Mr. Geo, Dover, the peo-
ple’s warden, read a beautifully illum-
inated seroll, given by the people of
Terrace and under the auspices of the
Woman’s Auxiliary, and presented it
to Rey. T. J. Marsh. Mr. Marsh made
a very feeling reply. _
Mrs. Allen, a guest of Mrs, George
Little, gave as a solos, “As My Re-
deemer Liveth.”
‘TKe following is the wording of the
seroll:—“To the Rev. FT. J. Marsh,
Greetings. The members of this com-

years you have served us and desire
to express something of what is in.our
hearts. Deep gratitude is our strong
emotion, Tn our hearts a story is writ-.
ten, indelibly; it will not fade with the
years; it speaks to us of faith made
easier by. the transparent goodness. of
your life. The. simple logic of your
faith and unselfish service will stand
as a. ‘potent argument to ug of the ex-
istanee and power of the God you have
preac hed. Though the years : have
not brought you success as the world
counts it, it is our happy privilege to
assure you and Mrs. Marsh that while
memory lasts, what you have been and
are to us, and all whose’ lives you. have
entered, will be an- echo of what yon
yourselves have ‘found. in’ the ‘Master
you, ‘have. _Berved- 80° faithfully. ‘ May,
God bless you. and yours in your going am
