Flower Show.
Is Better Than
Other Years

In spite of rain the day before
and that morning the annual
‘ flower show at Hazelton last Fri-

day was a most satisfactory
success. The afternoon turned
out pleasant and- bright and the
people of the district were pre-
sent in large numbers. Smith-
ers was well represented in spite
ma of the fact that it rained heavily
m@) in the Bulkley all morning. Re-
presentatives were also present
from Prince George, Burns Lake,
Skeena Crossing, Pacific, Prince
' Rupert and Vancouver.

} The Horticultural Society this

Been Appointed
District Forester

R, E, Allen is back with the
forestry departmentand will have
his headquarters in Prince Ru-
pert as of yore. For many years
Bob was with the Forest Branch
in this north country and made
his headquarters at Hazelton un-
tilthe district was enlarged to
take in the coast and the islands
and he was moved to Prince Ru-
pert. He did excellent work for
the department, and there are
few, if any, who know the woods
in the north as he does. Some
years ago he left the forestry
department and joined forces
with Olof Hanson in establishing
the Royal Mills at Hanall, Bob
taking the active management of
the enterprise. He has recently
been running the mill at Vanars-
dol.

The Forest Branch is getting a
good man back, but the lumber
and timber industry is losing one.
His many friends in the north,
and that means most of the popu-
lation, will be glad that Mr, Allen
is not leaving the north, but will
‘be around occasionally as for the
past twenty ¥ years,
