The Late Mrs. Wrinch

With the death of Mrs. H. C.
Wrinch early on Sunday morning
one of the happiest and brightest
lives that ever liyed on the fron-
tier.came toan end. For more
than twenty years the deceased
lived and labored with her hus-
band for the sick, suffering and
needy, and particularly was she
interested in, and enthusiastic
for. the welfare and development
of the children of the district.
In early life she set for herself a
high ideal of christianity and use-
ful service, That she achieved
her ambition none who ever came
into contact with her will deny:
Life was not always a -bed of
roses, but she met every obstacle

, 2] with a smile and with optimism.

During the early days, when life
was pretty much of a grind, she
proved herself a superior woman
and from the beginning becamea
leader of the religious, educational
and social life of the district, a
jeddership which she retained
until her demise. For the past
twenty-odd years no gcod move-

i}ment was undertaken in which

she had not a material or a moral
interest. During the past few
years, as a member of the public
school board, she took a very
active and energetic part in de-
veloping the children, phvsically
and mentally, and it was largely
through her efforts that the pres-
ent school grounds and equipment
were secured. It was only on
Saturday, and afew hours before
she passed away, that she discusa-
ed with a fellow member of the
school board plans for providing
further equipment for the school
children for this spring.

The late Mrs, Wrinch lived a
beautiful life. She was loved,
honored and respected by all,
whites and natives alike. She
will be missed. Her place in
the district will never be filled
by an individual, The Northern
Interior, and especially the Hazel-
ton district, share.with the hus-
band and family their great loss,

__ .. Kispiox Timber

‘The day is not far off when the
Kispiox Valley will begin to pro-
duce. wealth from its great sup-
ply of cedar. For years the cedar |.
men have been eating into the
merchantable stands close to the
Grand Trunk Pacific “railwav..
There.are still thousands ‘of tele-
phorie ‘poles. and ‘thousands of

<i. | pieces .of piling adjacent:to the! -
‘) |railway, but the supply is: very

limited, ‘ But in the Kispiox Val- |
‘lleythe cedar has not, yet been

‘touched, :-and-‘has suffered .com-
paratively: little from fires.. There
are. hundreds « of - thousands - of

‘Teedar trees - that. ‘hieve": an: ‘ever

increasing value, and which will,
within the next few years, give
emplo#ment to hundreds of ‘men,’
make money for contractors,
owners of the timber and for the
provincial treasury.
that the owners of that timber,
the settlers in the valley and the
forestry department fully realize
the wealth that is stored in the
cedar of the Kispiox, and that
every precaution will be taken in
future to prevent a fire getting a
start. This is not so much @
provincial matter asit is an in-
dividual and a district interest.
We in the district will be the
heaviest losers in case of loss
through fire.

Cedar men are now giving
thought to the Kispiox timber.
In the past the problem of get-
ting the logs to the railway has
been the chief difficulty, but that
is being overcome with more and
better roads, with ferries and
bridges. But the Kispiox cedar
will be floated down the river to
a conyenient point on the Skeena
and there taken out of the water
and loaded on the cars. Plans
are now being developed for such
an undertaking. Within the next
two years it is safe to prophesy
that the Kispiox will bé one of
‘the chief shippers of cedar poles
and piling.

What applies to the Kispiox
also applies to the Kitseguecla,

of the lower Skeena.

Bootleg gambling is the latest
social privilege being advocated
by the “‘back-cdoor operators’’ at
Ottawa. tin a'few more years
there wil] be no one using a front
as a policeman will be placed
there to search the pockets and
to tax an X-ravof heart, soul
and’ stomach of all who might
wish to pass that way.

For the first time in their lives
the deaf children, or many of

youngsters could hear with the

‘I suppose this practical Christi-

knees in church on Sunday and
prey on his fellows for the rest
of the week,’’

On those occasions when you
get fed up with everything and
imagine your existence is the
most miserable on earth, just
think of thedentist. Life. to him
is just one long grind.
