If the Burns Lake seetion is to

Blue River, B. C., Feb, 7

Editor Omineea Heraid,
New Hazelton, B C.
Sir—While north of 58 last

summer I made many new and
valued friends, not the least of
whom was James Turnbull. I
also renewed acquaintance with
Austin Goodenough, and as a
cedar savage of some standing,
and a bacheior of long standing,
they made me feel very happy,
for misery likes company. But
alas, my happin®ss was short
lived; those who I believed were
faithful comrades have since de-
serted the ranks of the great un-
wed, and left me alone and un-
loved. It is human to err and to
forgive is divine, They being
human [shall exercise some of
my divinity and forgive them,
for their tempation must have
been very great.
When people die {or get mar-
ried) it is customary to say some
thing good about them, and in
this case—very sad—I ean say
that as men they .were both in
the front rank, that they took
two paces forward and turned to
the right, and.I only hope that
they will continue to travel in
that direction, accompanied. by
health and happiness.
Their deserted comrade,

. A. P, Horne
P. $.--To my many good friends
in the north, especially, Hazeiton,
I take this opportunity of wish-
ing them well. Thank you, Mr.
Editor, for this valuable space.
