A odny afternoon, has cast gloom, not

only over Terrace and district, but -al-
xo over the whole north country, where

vies,

Fond memories’ of his many “deeds
of Idinduess and. self-sacrifice will be
long cherished by all men who. knew
him. For the past seventeen . years
the deceased had not enjoyed . good"
health and was a patient in: Prince
Ttupert and other. ‘hospitals for long
periods. Little hope was given him|s
that his health would be restored, and
dispite the fact that his condition grew.
gradually worse, he ‘eluracteristically
mnaintnained a cheerful disposition,
Long after loosing his eyesight he was
a familiar figure in Terrace, finding
his way about with the nid of a stick.

Huge Industrial
_ ExpAnsion to
~ Develop Quebec

Ottawa—The largest undertaking to
industrialize intensively a section of
Canada is now under way in- South-
western Quebec in eonnection with. the
Beaunarhois power development.

. Plan which it is believed will with-
in a, few years bring industries valued
at weil above a ‘hundred million dol- |
lars’ to the district in which the power
site is located _are now being ‘actively
advanced, Reports, received at Otta-
wa announce that simultaneously with
the delivery of power a new industrial
payroll. approximating $10, 000,000 a
year ‘vill come into being and that. this
amount will be materially increased
each ‘Succeeding year.

- The system whereby nmnicipalities ;
organize and operate industrial devel-
opment bureaus is famillar in Canada
but in. -the case of the :Beaunarhecis
project the eompany bas set up all the
inachinery itself. Its industrial offi-
cers are in’ touch ‘with industries in
other countries, wherever Canadian
branch plants, appear fensible. Power
labor ‘and transportation facilities are
being ‘heavily stressed in ‘favor of the
area. Both: company and provincial
authorities are. forecasting that within
ten years the district will be the most
solidly industrialized in Canada. Ag,
an experiment in private enterprise
the project follows the lines pursued
successfully in many large public ser-
vice corporations. in the United States.

litate bbusiness, The Premier moved:
that on ‘those days ordinarily devoted
to’ private matters; that govetnmen:

ders be given. precidence over all- brs! .
ness with the exception of. questions
and notiees of motion for the prod
tion of papers. The leader of the
Opposition approved of the motion ie
condition that it was not. consider:
precident. When the House-rose just
before five o’clock the address in. reply
to the speech from the throne“had al-
ready been moved and seconded. Hon

bate on the speech from the throne on -
Tuesday and. will be followed by. Pre-
tinier. Bennett: The debate oi the ad-
dress will also be started in the, Sen- -
ate on Tuesday.

As had been expected Capt. George
Black, member for the Yukon, . was
elected speaker of the House of Com-
mons without a dissenting voice.

The speech from the throne was one
of: the shortest on. record. The full
text of it. was as follows:— -

tire to the civilization of those dis-

who once tramped the hills here and
finally hibernated ‘in the ‘Omineca, are
all well and contented with thelr lot.
