Liberals Want
Share of Work

Last Monday night there was a ga-
thering of Liberals of New Hazelton
in the hall when the Asseciation was
reorganized with the following officers
elected :—

President—Dan. “McKenzie

Vice-Pres.—R. J. Morrison

Secretary-Treas.—Albert Arnold

Executive Committee—The officers
and Gust Christianson and Leo, Spoo-
ner,

‘Ehere was a good deal of discussion
about. -the state of the sidewalks in
New Hazelton, It was claimed that a
definite promise had been made by the
lotal member, E, T. Kenney, that these
walka would be put In shape. . Those
present wanted that promise fulfilled.

‘Then the members complained that
they were not getting a fair share of
the road work, and it was not because
there was no work to be done as the
roads, it was stated, were never in as
bud vondition as at present, Some re-
ported that every time they approaeb-
cil those in charge about getting work
they were met with the reply that
there was no money.

A letter has Deen drafted to be sent
to Mr. Kenney.

Prairie Farmers
Coming to the
Bulkley Valley

Mr. Worley ond Mr. Nyeste, two far.
mers from Southern Saskatchewan,
were visitors to. Smithers on Monday
when they looked the district over
with the idea of locating “40 families
from the dried out area in that pro-
vince, They were shown around the
country by L, H, Kenney and “were
very much impressed with the crops
they saw in the fields, and the barns
bursting with this year’s hay crop.
At Charlie Sieh’s farm in the Spring-
hill district they ‘saw large vegetable
marrow, citron, green corn, pumpkins,
and other produce not generally seen
growing in the district.

The people whom they represent are
all experienced . farmers who have
made money at wheat growing in the
past and have seen their resources
dwindle away year by year und are
now forced to look for. a new location.
They will bea desirable acquisition to
nny country and this valley could well
ado with a settlement of this kind even
though they «aye . not over-burdened
with finaneial resources. It is hoped
that some inducement will be offered
by both the Dominion and Provincial
govermnents to have these people and
others similarly situated in the dried
avt areas settle on some of the good,
put vacant lands of this province,

The Garden City by the Sea
By Our Own Correspondent

A deeply tanned firl of sturdy build
who had succeeded in paddling a canoe
ail the way from Anacortes, in Wash-
ington, came up the harbor on a ser-
ene afternoon last week. Her voyage
did not end there, her. destination is
Alaska. She said she was going as far
north. as Sitka, Her name is Betty
Lowman and she has had adventures
a-plenty.. Her most dangerous exper-
jence-was in “Gardiner Canal when the
ennioe was swamped. and Betty lost her
camera, supplies and almost her life.
For days she was‘ marooned, on a cliff,
and had it not been for help given by
Indians, the voyage might hare ended
right there. After a brief rest and a
check-up, Miss Lowman left here ‘for
Ketchikan, where her father is eugag-
ed in the salmon cannery line.

Magistrate from
Vancouver Visits

Oo. L. Fillmore of Vancouver, magis-
trate ‘at the Court House, paid a visit
to the Northern Interior of the pro-
vince, and this was his second visit in
fifteen years. His trip this time was
one of pure holiday and he said he.
surely had one, with considerable. ex-.
ercise mixed in with it.. He was over-
seas with Happy Turner of Smituers.
and they. took quite a fancy to each
other.and the liking has stuck through
the years. Happy arranged to have
his vacation at the same time Mr. Fill-
more was to be around. After a few
days of talk around Smithers they hit
off for Topley and then to Topley
Landing on Babine Lake. They went
up the lake to Old Fort and they re-
turned by the new road being built in
from Smithers. Mr. Fillmore says he
had to walk 35 miles, but it was worth
it. His opinion of Babine Lake is that
it is the most beautiful lake in British
Cotumbia, and the trip he took was al-
so one of the most marvelous. He had
a fish pole, ete, with him,. but he did
not use it. ‘There was no need for it,
I saw more fish..than ever before. It
was just everybody giving us fish.
Even when we got to Angus \MeLean’s
road camp they had brook trout for
dinner.” After they. got to Smithers
they motored to Morvricetown, then to
New Hazelton, Hazelton and. Kispiox
nud on Thursday Mr. Fillmore. went
by train to Terrace to try and find an-
other pal from overseas. He ran into
rain there, and it™is doubtfal if he
found the man he wanted...But he.
