Prosecutions Demanded

The forest fire menace has re-
sumed this spring again and in
spite of all the warnings, re-
quests, pleadings and demands
from the government, through
the press and from public speak-
ers. Without any further natice
the forestry department is in
duty bound to prosecute every
offender, There is no excuse
for starting a fire and much lesa
is there any exeuse for the gov-
ernment to, show any mercy.
Fires started this week have been
deliberate or gross carelessness—
neither reasons are excuseable.
Unless the government. does
prosecute to the limit al) of-
fenders, the government forfeits
its right to call.ont men and boys
to fight fires. Any person who
has an occupation will be justi-
fied in refusing to answer the
eall.

It is all very well to pass laws
and to appoint a herd of officials
to enforce the law, and to carry
on an educational program, but

them and they never mingle with
the white patients. In the kit-
chen there are different dishes,
different utensils.
of the staff working among the
whites are verv particulur. In
fact there are really two distinct
institutions under one roof. All
old-timers in the north well know
this and it could have been only
an evilly disposed person who
eould start a rumor to the con-
trary. Anyone who has any
doubts whatever may have those
doubts cleared up by a visit to
The Hazelton Hospital during the
next few days, or at any other
time it is convenient for him or
her to go there.

Has Done Good Work

Rey. J. R. Hewitt, B.A., left
yesterday for New Westminster
to attend the annual conference
of the Methodist Church, He
took with him a unanimous in-
vitation from New Hazelton,
Hazelton and the Hazelton Has-
pital congregations to return to
this district for a third term.
The invitation was sincere and
it is hoped that Conference will
see its way clear to send him
back for another year at least,
Rev. Mr., Hewitt has developed a
splendid work in this district and
his influence in the community
is being felt more and more.

in this town has he been success-
ful, and in this work he has been
vary ably assisted by Mrs. Hew-
itt. In Hazelton the new church

unless the government proseuctes
wilful offenders the law and the
expense will be wilful waste.
Anyone starting fires at this
season of the year and under the
present dry condition is a crimin-
al at heart and the country would
be weli rid of those persons. It
is up to the government to rid
the country of them.
lic is pretty well fed up on forest
fires. Aside from the financial
loss every fire incurs, the citizens
of the country have some rights
and those citizens are now de-
manding that those rights be
protected against the fire fiend,
the Reds and those who have
only contempt for the rights and
property of others. The grand
total of such offenders in tine
northern interior is not large,
but they can do a lot of damage
with a few matches, There is
no longer room, nor use for them
in the country. If the govern-
ment does not clear them out
they will clear the povernment
out.

funds of the school -board are
$130 to the good. The dance
