Vice-Pres.—R. J. Morrison

Secretary-Treas.—Albert Arnold

Executive Committee—The officers and Gust Christianson and Leo, Spoo- ner,

‘Ehere was a good deal of discussion about. -the state of the sidewalks in New Hazelton, It was claimed that a definite promise had been made by the lotal member, E, T. Kenney, that these walka would be put In shape. . Those present wanted that promise fulfilled.

‘Then the members complained that they were not getting a fair share of the road work, and it was not because there was no work to be done as the roads, it was stated, were never in as bud vondition as at present, Some re- ported that every time they approaeb- cil those in charge about getting work they were met with the reply that there was no money.

A letter has Deen drafted to be sent to Mr. Kenney.

Prairie Farmers Coming to the Bulkley Valley

Mr. Worley ond Mr. Nyeste, two far. mers from Southern Saskatchewan, were visitors to. Smithers on Monday when they looked the district over with the idea of locating “40 families from the dried out area in that pro- vince, They were shown around the country by L, H, Kenney and “were very much impressed with the crops they saw in the fields, and the barns bursting with this year’s hay crop. At Charlie Sieh’s farm in the Spring- hill district they ‘saw large vegetable marrow, citron, green corn, pumpkins, and other produce not generally seen growing in the district.

The people whom they represent are all experienced . farmers who have made money at wheat growing in the past and have seen their resources dwindle away year by year und are now forced to look for. a new location. They will bea desirable acquisition to nny country and this valley could well ado with a settlement of this kind even though they «aye . not over-burdened with finaneial resources. It is hoped that some inducement will be offered by both the Dominion and Provincial govermnents to have these people and others similarly situated in the dried avt areas settle on some of the good, put vacant lands of this province,

A deeply tanned firl of sturdy build who had succeeded in paddling a canoe ail the way from Anacortes, in Wash- ington, came up the harbor on a ser- ene afternoon last week. Her voyage did not end there, her. destination is Alaska. She said she was going as far north. as Sitka, Her name is Betty Lowman and she has had adventures a-plenty.. Her most dangerous exper- jence-was in “Gardiner Canal when the ennioe was swamped. and Betty lost her camera, supplies and almost her life. For days she was‘ marooned, on a cliff, and had it not been for help given by Indians, the voyage might hare ended right there. After a brief rest and a check-up, Miss Lowman left here ‘for Ketchikan, where her father is eugag- ed in the salmon cannery line. “es ¢ Miss Phyllis Mooney, for yenrs hold- ing the. responsible position of operat- ing room nurse in the Prince Rupert General Hospital has resigned, and is now on her way to England, to make nn extended visit. Her successor is Miss" Margaret Brewster, a graduate of the Vancouver General Hospital and who: has had experience in China. " f

Magistrate from Vancouver Visits

Oo. L. Fillmore of Vancouver, magis- trate ‘at the Court House, paid a visit to the Northern Interior of the pro- vince, and this was his second visit in fifteen years. His trip this time was one of pure holiday and he said he. surely had one, with considerable. ex-. ercise mixed in with it.. He was over- seas with Happy Turner of Smituers. and they. took quite a fancy to each other.and the liking has stuck through the years. Happy arranged to have his vacation at the same time Mr. Fill- more was to be around. After a few days of talk around Smithers they hit off for Topley and then to Topley Landing on Babine Lake. They went up the lake to Old Fort and they re- turned by the new road being built in from Smithers. Mr. Fillmore says he had to walk 35 miles, but it was worth it. His opinion of Babine Lake is that it is the most beautiful lake in British Cotumbia, and the trip he took was al- so one of the most marvelous. He had a fish pole, ete, with him,. but he did not use it. ‘There was no need for it, I saw more fish..than ever before. It was just everybody giving us fish. Even when we got to Angus \MeLean’s road camp they had brook trout for dinner.” After they. got to Smithers they motored to Morvricetown, then to New Hazelton, Hazelton and. Kispiox nud on Thursday Mr. Fillmore. went by train to Terrace to try and find an- other pal from overseas. He ran into rain there, and it™is doubtfal if he found the man he wanted...But he. did find fish on the mend ‘and: he ate
