_ Party In Skeena}

The best convention the Liber- al- Conservative Association of

Skeena has held for many years was held last Thursday night in Prince Rupert, when J. C. Brady, principal of the high school in Prince Rupert, was selected to contest the riding in the interests of the Conservatives and stable government in Canada.

There were 56 delegates pres- ent, representing: every part of the riding, and the without dele- Rates were represented by prox- ies. C. H. Orme opened the meeting and at his request J. E, Merryfield, provincial organizer, took the chair. The first busi- was the choosing of a candidate, and the first name put up was that of C. H. Orme, but he was unable to accept for business reasons, Then Frank JDockrill, of Telkwa, and J. C. Brady, of Prince Rupert, were nominated. Rach addressed the delegates and each promised to give the suc cessful one a whole-hearted sup- port, -The vote was then taken

and -Mr,- ‘Brady... “WOD-.0Lf. by a.

small inajority. Mr, Dockrill moved that Mr. Brady's nomina- tion be made unanimous, —

There was the greatest feeling of enthusiasm and harmony throughout, and the Conservative party is going into the present campaign united as in the old days. Everything looks like a win for them on Sent, 14.

.Mr. Brady has been principal of the high school in Prince Ru- pert since 1914. He is not only well known, but is very favor- Jably known. He is a splendid platform speaker, and ‘there is

one thing the people of Skeeria

ean be sure of if they elect him on the 14th—they will have a representative who can preparea speech and deliver it on the floor of the House, He is an Irishman by birth and came to Canada from New Zealand-in 1912, Pre- vious to that he was in South Africa, Gibraltar, and Australia. During his whole academic ca- reer he has been a student of politics, and is as well versed in governments and their systems as the best of them, and he had in 1925 a. strong. following: which wished to put_ his. name before the convention at that time. Mr.. Brady has already opened his campaign and early in the week wentinto the Atlin district, Upon his return he will make a ‘trip. through. this interior country

The business men’s excursion run by the Canadian National Railways from Vancouver over the triangle to Jasper and down

to Prince Rupert turned out to be largely a business women’s excursion, with a number of business men’s wives and some men, It was, however, a food bunch of people, and they learn- ed a good deal about this north country which is good for them to know.

The people in the north turned out in fair numbers to entertain the visitors and to show them why we are here and staying here. At Prince George there was a dance: and at Smithers there was a drive through part of the Bulkley Valley and a dance when they returned.

At New Hazelton on Sunday morning a good many people of the two towns got up early and met the train with their cars and took the visitors on a drive from New Hazelton over the high level bridge acrass Hagwilget Canyon,

the station. at South. Hazelton: The trip was a delight to them,

WAS instantaneous,

as was the great Bulkley Valley, ‘with the big farms and heavy crops which they saw the night before. . The weather was ideal, and the whole trip a wonderful success. *

At Kitwanga the party went around to see the totem poles and at Terrace they had another side-trip by automobile through the nearby district. From there the train proceeded withont stop to Prince Rupert, arriving late in the afternoon.

The party was in charge of Messrs. Wright and Jackson, of Vancouver, and R, F. MeNaugh- ton, of Prince Rupert,

In Early Hours

before one o’elock on Tuesday morning completely destroyed the residence of Gus. Martinson at New Hazelton. The blaze was first noticed by a number of lacal

residents who were meeting the eastbound passenger train, which was several hours late, and they hastened to the scene, but by the time they reached it the building was a roaring furnace and no- could be done to save even a few of the eontents, a

Mystery attaches to the cause of the outbreak, since the owner, who is employed on 2 B, & B, gang now working near Bulkley Canyon, had not been in town since Sunday.

The house, of bungalow type, stood in a rather secluded position near the old abandoned wagon road and somewhat behind the hill at the west end of the town, and but for the fact that the train was iate, the destruction of the building might have gone unnoticed for some time, as no-

borhood.

Hazelton Lady

Following a turn for the worse which was noticed about six o’- clock on Thursday evening, Mrs,

T. H, Walsh (Grace, daughter of Mr, and Mrs. W. C. Sparkes, of Terrace) passed away at the Ha- zelton Hospital soon after mid-

night. Deceased had been in poor healt} for the last couple of years or itiore, but last spring she contracted flu and was taken to the hospital. It was soon found that there was little if any hope of her ultimate recovery, and her physique broke down gradually but steadily.

The funeral arrangements were in the hands of the B,C. Under- takers, Prince Rupert, and the remains were taken dawn to Ter- race on Saturday for interment. A great many floral tributes from friends were sent along with the body.

The funeral service took place at St. Matthew’s Anglican Church and was conducted by Rev. Rural Dean T. J. Marsh, assisted hv Rev. Barfoot. Rev. Marsh spoke very feelingly of the early life of
