Farmers Will
Open Butcher

Shop in Terrace}

RESOLVED: That. the direct-[

ors be instructed to start a butcher.

- shop under the auspices of The Kit-
sumkallum Farmers" Institute and ‘to
use whatever fuids are- in the hands
of The Farmer’ Institute and to box:
row if necessary... ;

The Kitsumkallum, Farmers’ Insti-1
tute passed the above . resolution to-

night after a general discussion’ laste,

“ing aver two hours.
The move is the

of the local farming community and
is intended to bring about two’ things
better prices for the producers of
meats and lower prices for the. con:
sumers of ‘anhnal products.
: President EL 1, Franks opened the
= meeting by giving . a resume of the
* gcheme to date, with. particulars of
posible sites for a building, size of
building, and threw the meeting open
‘for discussion.
One of the directors advanced the
thought. that ‘meat ‘from the Bulkley
‘ Valley had. ‘to pay freight to Terrace
wos several, days old when it arrived
and wastage often resulted, for which
the consumer had to pay. He contend-
‘ed that the amount of the freight
should be returned to. the producer,
along with a portion of the saving
from the wastage. Also local, freshly
killed meat was worth more than the
the, stale article. ;
President Franks seid - under the
scheme, if it was to work out properly
Te would be necessary. for’ the: butcher
to have the power. to set. the, price to
be paid to, the producer having due
regard for the quality of the beast.
and its condition, and when an animal
was offered, which. he considered: a8
. unsuitable for the business, have the}
power to reject it. Other similar venr
tures had been w recked by paying too
hich 4 price for the animals.. A part
of the profits, .at- least, would have to

—r

.. go into a sinking fund to take care of

contingencies.

When. the resolution was put ft was
carried without any dissenting vote.
- The directors will chose a site im-
mediately, and proceed with the er-
ection of o sultable building to house
the new enterprise. A building -either
16 x 35 or 20 x 40 is suggested. It is
hoped to* start “business ‘about: Sept,

boys returned home "early Saturday
after defeating every tenm they play-

Lake and then went on to Vanderhoof
and=played a tie game of seven innings

Quesnel could not get their team to-

fields and Prince George could only

hoof, but. Burns. Lake ‘could not: get a
team ‘together for a second fame so
the Hazelton caravan beat St for their
own stamping ground. From a. vie-
tory point of view the trip Was @ suc-
ceas,, There was also o good attend-
ance at the games, but it seems the
people to the east are no more fiush
than are the people at home, in fact
it is reported that the receipts from
gomes averaged about $10 per game.
Financially the trip was not a suc-
