mile or more of additional road, the:

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

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.

out of beef cattle in-a pioneer country
fand under ploneer couditions, WilHam
Clarke of South Bulkley takes his hat
off to noo man, It was over twenty
years ago that he took up the land he
-ig operating—-some five hundred acres.
Tle went through. ‘that country. with
the Dominion: ‘Telegiaph lin’ e. -pang
und he was impressed With the coun-
try's possibilities for the beef caitle
industry. There was plenty of eraz
ug Jand producing the. finest kind of
feed. He made u start and has beer:
vith the game ever since, and hopes to
be with it for many years to come.

: “At the present time he is: ramming
a hundred and fifty head and the psa
season sent two cats of beef to Prince
Rupert and a car.of breeding stock to
tHouston. “For quite 1 few years he
has been breeding poll angus cattle
and finds that they meet every repui-
‘retuent,

there is the best ehance in the, world}
to muke good. with heet cattle. He dis’
from Quebec and Ontarlo and finds his}

than either of thase two provinces.

In the near future le plans on gett:
‘ing into the sheep industry rather ex-
téusivelyabout: a ‘thousand | head to get |
going nicely, He is satisfied that al!
will be well. :

are in charge of his ‘brother Rober!
whose is a very capable manager and
both men are strong for beef and ‘sheep
for th eSouthy. Bulkley country. He
has grown some timothy for seed, but
he does not like feeding the dry, timo-

any money in it and his seed growing
will be a small end of his operations,

the Booth Memorial’ school teaching
staff,

The groom is niso a pioneer of this

_ Berry: Patches

- Although in the district for only five
yenrs C. 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

waste would pay the expenses of the
whole crop.

pital about a quarter to five on Mon-
day afternoon,the result of an accident
in the woods near Terrace last Satur-
day afternoon. The deceased was ad-
niutted to the hospital Saturday even-
ing, but from. the first there wag no
hope of recovery, Besides a bad cut
on the scalp, a broken arm and frac-
tured ‘ribs, there. were serious.. inter-
nal injuries and these were the dir-
ect. cause of death. On Monday even-::
ing’ Mrs. Monsell enme up from Ter-
race to see her husband, but he had
passed on before she arrived, She re.
turned to Terrace next: morning and on -
Thursday morning Rev. J. H. Young.
accompanied hte body to Terrace for -
interment, .
_ The late Basward Monsell was 4C:.
years of age. He is survived by’ 2
wife and six young childvén, the old-
est being about fourteen, He had:
been a resident of Terrace for many -
years, first aso farmer and for the
last few years hs been in the transfer
and was doing’ very well. He was’
well knwon and generally liked and
as.a jitney and transfer man he-had’
those qualities which make for suc-
cess. His untimely death removes a _
fool citizen from Terrace and much -
sympathy is, felt for ‘the. widow and
the family.

justly proud. Wighteen berries filled
a box. The shape, color, and flavor is
‘hard to bent. Last fall he set out an-
other half acre of Skeena Wonders,the
‘plants being the production of Michaud
Bros, - So far this patch of berries has
had no winter protection, but he hopes
that ns soon as sufficient laud is under
cultivation to grow course grain in suf.
Sieiont quantity to ennble bim to care
for plants in the winter months and
‘thus assure an annual crop. He planr
in the near future to again inecrernse
