Government Will
Build School and
Pay Half Salary

The final decision of the pro-
vincial government in regard to
the new school at New Hazelton
whieh is.so badly needed was
received last. week from the
minister of education. Instead
of making a substantial grant, as
at first intended, the government
has decided to build a standard
rural school and to collect from
the local. school district part of
the teacher’s salary.

The proposal was considered at
a meeting of the property hold-
ers on Saturday night and was
accepted. It is ‘now. up to the

|department at. ‘Victoria :to- get

busy ‘and have the school ready.

Midnight Fire
Destroy Shack
And Contents

At midnight Friday the snack
owned and occupied by Frank H.

Walch was completely destroyed
by fire, with all the contents.
There is every reason to believe
that the fire is of incendary ori-
gins The shack was broken into
some time apo and some clothing
was taken. The day of the fire
the owner left the cabin soon at-
ter seven in the morning for his
work and did not return until af-
ter two o’clock the next morning
having been called to the tunnels
east of town where a car was off
the track. There had been no
gre in the cabin since: morning.
There was-no sign of fire at 10
o’clock when the oceupant of the
adjoining cabin retired. The
blaze was first seen by Geo. Hall
when returning from old town,

but by the time he arrived at the
cabin the flames had gained such

“theadway that it was impossible

to save anything.

The loss of-the shack and con-
tents sets the owner back about
six hundred dollars No insur-
ance was carried. This is the
first fire that has occurred here
for years and there’ should be an
investigation to rid the commun-
ity of a thieving fire bug. .”

Natives are Working

| Rev. Mr. Proctor visited Kit-
wanga, -Kitwancool, Cedarvale,
and Meanskinish this week and
reports much activity among the
natives, also a splendid commun-
ity spirit. At Kitwanga the na-

fences, not forgetting the par-
denss. Between Kitwancool vil-
lage and the lake the natives are
‘erecting a bridge at 19 mile over
Za-dak-quit (the Mud River).
This is a big piece of work. and
they are all working splendidly
together and hope to have it fin-
ishee before leaving for the can-
neries on the 15th. The Kitwan-
cool natives also report very good
catches of fur and they hope to
