In Speech 1

In the Legislature last week E. T. Kenney, ALTA. for Skeena, addressed | the members and the government and he had quite a number of constructive} idens to offer. Below will be found a number of extracts from his speech : |

He réconnmended! - “that — while the Yuko Territory of .gome ‘210,000 sq. miles would be of ‘great value.to the province of B. C.'yet he was a great heliever in minority ‘Tights and con- sidered the -peaple of - that” district should have Some , voice in their future destiny. Chie =

should wive that. territory the alter- _ native of uniting with British Cohn |°

Ia or reverting .to. unorganized terti- 1-ry. He thonght that there would be lo question as to shat course would

be adapted, ond when the amalgamit-|

tion took place it would provide ample territory for .two provinces on _the

Pte coast, aud by following the 82]

ineridian of ‘latitude, it would make im. itlead province in) what is now known ms Northern British Columbia.

Ife strongly aecommended that a certified assayer be placed in charge of the sampling plant’ at Prince Ru- pert to expedite the. returns to the pro gpectors, and ‘to do the free assays ‘Pal allowed to the prospectors. Toestuted) thit: 4t tonk too long getting the. siinples back and forth to Vie-

He also urged the return of quor control and parimutuel grants 40. ril- Inge municipalities; many of, these vouailt Mmunicipalitles: came into: being hy these ‘attraetive grants, and now ‘enue since they had been trken away difficulties in financing their opera: tions solely on- the taxes’ collected. |

He also dw elt at some length on the very desirable class of farmers that nye now availuble for-settling up our vivant lands from the dust, bowl] of the jrainies; these men he said, had everything desirable to develop - our agricultural: Wits Dut ready money to aseist them’ iy

familie aud others dependent upon them. This he stated was the largest eroup in the province, and it was the duty of the government to give that’ cousideration to their problems whic wid secure their continuing to: 50 maintain themsely es. in. siftch enpaci- ties..

He reached a low ebb about three weeks ago but rallied and appeared to be well on the road to recovery. His condition at this time was 50 indicative of a suc- cessful’ convalescence that his faetber returned to his. business here and it was 0 great shock to everyone to leary of his sudden passing. Harold was 4 quiet, unassuming lad of eleven years of age, a great favorite amung his school fellows and playmates, ond the whole district extends its deepest sympathy to the bereaved parents and brothér’ by whom he is survived.

A meeting was held here last week to investigate the possibilities of ob- taining a provincial public library. Miss Jessle Sargent of the Prince George library was. present to. outline the plan upon which these. libraries are operated and those present at the meeting were very enthusiastic. The government supplies so many books for each dollar membership received and with this point in view a canvas is to be made of the town, and another

meeting will be held in the near future oe @

A truck driven by W. Foley of Smi- thers and a car driven by G. Hendley of Government Ranch met in a head- on collision on the highway near Hu- bert last Friday night. There was considerable traffic on the road at the . time’ and, although the accident was unavoidable, both vehicles were badly - damaged. Fortunately, however, no one was seriously hurt, the major cas- ualty suffered being the loss of a-few

teeth by an occupant: of the car. ** 0
