FEBRUARY 11, 1027 Near 3?, j Planing : a New. ‘Bridge Across At Hagwilget | Afer’ fourteen years of satisfactory ” service, in spite of béing condemned at least once a -year during that tim, eby ‘one or other of the numerous engin- vets sent ont, by the provineint depart: ment, the high level bridge over the Bulkly river at Hagwilget, bas once more received. engineering attention This time it is propésed to do away with the nigh level bridge. ond build another one 900 geet ferther up the river und provide- 150 foot grade or. _each side of the bridge and one half mile or more of additional road, the: vrenter part of which will be. side hill. cutting, If the plans are. earried. out it will be very unsatisfactory t* othe shippers of the district and unpopular venerally, The present site is alrendy provided with roads, Xt is the short. ~est route and the only high Jevel route There are n ogrades {hat should noi have heen iNiminated Jong ago’ hac the original plans been carried out. and the interests of the district beep con sidered. There should be very excep- tional yensons for making aay change in the bridge site as such change will ment additional cost forever to every person who crosses that prpoosed new bridge. A new site can offer no adt: vintages to. off set those now enjoyed. There will also be the question of buy. n tight of way through the Hagwige Indian veserve, and that will be onc smal matter. The provinelal gorvern- ment cannot eat up Indian reserves as | ‘tt does the white settlers farm and al- thre the proposed new bridge wilt’ in the end cost more and never “give any satisfaction, than a ney bridge | ove: the present site. To tall about, a twe way bridge is utter nonsence.. “One or two steel bridges will be worn out be’ fore traffic in this country will justity ar even. reqtest stich bridge. Two- way bridges are an extravagant lux- urs in a new country, and a most un- necessary thing at the present time. ANNIVERSARY SERVICES Rey. Dr, Darwin will be the Special Sneaker on February 20th .

H; Thomas has not ouly turn- end stmper land into fertile produc-. tive soil, but he has built up a home that is a credit to the district, His flowers, lawn and garden surrounding his buildings and numerous other im- provements compare favorably with homes in old settled districts, testify- ing’ to the success which attends hard work and perseverence. When pur- purchasing his present home. three was three acres partly cleared. He . has now twenty neres under... cultivation. From one. and a half aeres of straw- berries last year he shipped 220 crates with about 70 crates’o fjam berries ho lost on the vines, IT ts the opinion of Mr. Thomas that a good market is not the only help needed ‘o mike the strawberry industry a pro ‘itable one. If the growers would co-operate and thereby lift thmeselves out of their many and estublished ruts which have obviously proven a failure, they might easily incite some one with tapital to establish a jam factory. The ultimate result of this is manifest when one which are wasted evch year. the sannuaul waste would pay the expenses of the whole crop.
