FRIDAY, NOVEMEER 1 14. 1918

|| favorable’ view of. New, ‘Hazelton

Within a very few months two murders have been
committed within a comparatively few. miles—one
at Burns Lake and the other at Telkwa. Both of
these were due to parties unlawfully having fire-

arms in their possession, The pro-
Carrying vincial act is very strict regarding
Firearms carrying concealed weapons and the

police should make every effort to
see ‘that it is rigidly enforced. In this matter the
general public can be of -great assistance by -re-
porting to the police when any party is known to
be carrying a concealed weapon, and especially
one who is incapable or irresponsible: The police
ean, however, do a great deal tostop the carrying
of weapons by systematically searching the men
travelling up and down the railway, separately or
in parties, and especially the foreigners who are
not responsible citizens. Guns, ktiives and whis-
ky usually go together and they are anything but
food companions. When they come in contact in
one man’s possession there is usuaily something
doing i in:his vicinity.

- The ‘bank robbery was. another instance of
firearms i in the possession of undesirable parties,
and that another:murder was not committed was
not: the fault of the robbers. _ It should;: however, |:
; impress. ‘upon. the public and. ‘the, police
the necessity’ of’ enforeing the law in 1 regard to
carrying firearms. ; _

With’ “this. issue, ‘the Omineca Herald celebrates
the conclusion of its first year in New: Hazelton
and: the. beginning of the second.’ During the |.
pgst twelve months there have been many changes |
- in the town and for the ‘most these

vincial .governmen and- ‘its. offi-
cials: “are taking

‘and its future, .. Progress. has
been “made; - -but” there=ar
many changes © ‘required . before
things can“ be: expected : to run
smoothly... For instance.an hotel
has’ been built and has been ready
for opening for. several months.
Some thirty. thousand dollars ‘are
tied up there. The town and the
district requires that hotel accom-
modation. “The license has. been

| applied ‘for: by one of the oldest

hotel men’ in the province. ” No
license has been granted. and the
hotel stands idle.

_ Unable to get the government
to erect a high level bridge across | -
the Bulkley for the bencfit of the
mines and the settlers, the town-
site owners themselves put up
thirty thousand dollars and have
erected the finest bridge in the
province. Now the government
has no money to cut .a road so
that the bridge can be used. In
these two enterprises alone sixty
thousand dollars are tied up and
are of no use to a sou! on earth.
A big change is. needed here.
Besides the hotel, several busi-
ness houses have been erected,
but are standing idle awaiting
the opening of the hotel, which,
in a new district, .is naturally a
business center.

In nite of these drawbacks,
some due to open opposition, and
others. due to unfortunate cir-
cumstances, the town has made
progress, and the Herald believes
that a change is coming, and that
change is for the better. We be-

ever, has been foreed to. acknow-

ment. is. now ‘takingan: entirely
different - viev f conditions in
this district and that the cabinet

and. of New. : as the only

will serve this‘immense district.
We have the’ people here with

done for them, but are.not done, .
and every spark of justice | in the

poliey accordingly.
