‘After Many Years Rev. |

Dr. Osterhout Returned -
Te Preach to the North,

| Rev. Dr. Ostarhout, ‘qne‘ot the super

' intendents of nifasionis, under. the Uni-

@ ted Church, was:a visitor. to.this -dis-
. trict over the week end, : and while. in
the district was.a guest of Dr. H..C:

 Wrinch. Dr. Osterhout. was a misston-

) ary on the Naas river forty ‘odd years
ago, and his last visit. to this ‘section
wis some thirty-five’ years ago,” He
walked over the grease trail from the
Naas to Kispiox, and at that. time tt
was sone trip.

The Port Simpson Indians celebrated
the sixtieth anniversary of the estab:
lishment of the. mission :at: that point.
The logical man to take part in- that
celebration was Rev. Dr. Osterhout, so

arrangements “were made for him to].

. make this trip.

Some three years ago the church at
Port’. Simpson was burned, down, and
while the. Indians were anxious ta get.
n new’ church built there did not seem
to he anyone [6 take the lead.

In preparation | for the trip north Dr,
be Osterhout. called on the Misses Boulton
daughters of the man. who- established
the Port Simpson ‘hospital and one or
two others who have an interest in the
Port Stimpson mission, and when he got

started on his journey he had $300°as,

a starter for the new church. It wis
considered: that ‘the sixtieth annivers--
airy was a good time to start. the new

chureh on the way.

Dr.. Osterhout, speaks the Indian
dialects better than the Indians. and
although ‘it’ js thirty-five years since
he ‘has used the Indian language; he
talked to the natives at Port: Simpson
in. their native tongue, ‘He told them
‘he had $800 as a starter ‘for the new
eburch, ‘and for them: to get’ busy and
riese some. more. money. After . that
meeting ‘the Indians got together and
§800 was raised between them. . They
have undertaken to increase this to
$8000, and they will do. it. The old
church was insured for $5000 and it is
the intention to build a ten thousand
dounar church. °— .

After attending. Presbytery meeting
in Prince. Rupert Dr.-Osterhout came
up the river to ylsit. another of his old
charges—-Kisplox. He held a service
there Sunday sfterncon. and although
most of the men are away hunting be

{found a number. who he had) known

previously. He talked to. the Kispiox
Indiaus in their native tongne and the
natives were pleasantly surprised.

- On Sunday morning the visiting roi
ister gave the sermon in ‘the United
chureh in, Hazelton, and in the evening
he preached in. New Hazelton. - His
sermons were much appreciated by
both congregations, In New Hazelton.

building of such a railroad. The folk

a while in order to get what. they de-

opposed to any route which would take

Geo. Little Is

‘Encouraged by —
Better Business|

: Last. Saturday ‘afternoon ‘George Lit-
tle rettirned from a trip to Alberta and

‘be had a carload of heavy horses and

another carload yt beef animals and
a dozen -fat ewes. ‘He got. some yery
fine horses and he.says.that the price
of horses has gone up and js going up.
There are not today the ‘animals to,
meet the demand and. will not be for
another three or four. years. For a
number of years the farmers have not.
been breeding horses and. now that ao
demand has been created there is and
will be a shortage. Everyone is going |a
to start raising colts this year, but that
crop will not be ready for the market
for about four years. _

Mr. Little also found the price of
beef cattle up, and an indication that
it would continue « to increase. The
ptlee of hogs, of course, is away 1h
and the hog men are making some nice
money. ; ;

Mr. Little reports that Alberta is
looking better. now ‘than it has for a
number of years. He “was surprised
and pleasantly so, to find that the out-
look had changed’ so decidedly. since
He
found. the people feeling better; -busi-
ness Was ‘better and the theatres and
other places of amusement were lerowd*
ed. ond business ‘seemed to he quite
brisk. oe

‘He. was quite encouraged in regard
to ‘the lumber market: and the outlook
far some immediate business, The out
lnok is ‘so. good that he decided he
would get his mill going again and hel

The annual meeting of the Patrous
of the Hazelton. Hospital was-held.in
the United Church in Hazelton on Mon-
day night and there was a splendid at-
tendance: .It was. known. that.the re-
port.from the board of. directors was
going. to show quite a ‘deficit, the first
for a. long time. that was. not at least
recoverable from . ‘prospective: immedi-
ate revenue. But that: id= not keep
the people away, and they did not feel

at all discouraged. *This “institution
lias wenthered storms before and will
weather this one. While the funds

.Jare two thousand dollars. behind . for

the year and cannot be met this com-
ing year, there is a confidence that a
year or two hence will wipe out all the
deficits, and provide money for some
needed repairs to the cider’ butklings.

. Sargent, chairman of the Pat-

: rons seenpled the chair and conducted

the proceedings in a business like and
efficient manner-as usual. The open-
ing numbers were singing “O, Canada”
a yoeal solo by Mrs. Myros and a vio-
lin solo by Mrs. Redman, Later in
the evening Mr. Mallinson gave a solo
and Mrs. Redman nlso sang. Rev. Mr.
Ttedman presided at the organ.

Mrs, Redman presented the report
of the W.A. to the H.H. and {It showed
a year of work as good as any that
had been done in the past, although
the cash. receipts were not so large.

’ Dr, H. C. Wrineh, secretary to the
boar of directors presented the report,
from that body and it was received by
the patrons very favorably in spite of
the shortage. of money.: The cause for

“APS The shortage Was’ that after te wudeet

had been ‘prepared last year the pro-
‘vineial: government ent its grant, the
‘Indian Department ‘reduced -its fees
for’ indian ‘patients and called. for few-
er Indians to be treated, and the Unit-
ed Church cut its grant. In all there
was an unexpected reduction in re-
ceipts of several thousand dollars. It
is hoped to get some of these restored

stuted that it was a long’ time since he

saw very little that he could remember
of the oll town, and he.found only 2
very few people left who he had met
on: bis’ previons yisit : ‘thirty-five years
ago. This. of course, was. the first
he had seen the Hazelton Hospital and
he felt a great pride in being connect-
ed with a.church which was providing
so well for the people. of | this north
land. He appreciated the ‘pride that
was felt. by all the people in the north
in this institution—tit. was quite equal
to any hospital in its class. and far
superior ‘to most. He encouraged the
people to stay on the Job and back the
hospital to the best of their ability and
it would bring. its own. reward,
