‘Visits Terrace

Over rt Week- end

Hon. T. D. Patt Pattullo was in
Terrace during the week-end and
met quite a large number of his
constituents. He arrived on Fri-
day night from Prince Rupert
and was met by Messrs. E. T.

Halliwell, the officers of the local
Liberal Association, and conver-
sations ensued at the Terrace
Hotel for a couple of hours.

The minister was early. astir
on Saturday and visited a num-

|ber of his friends during the

morning, also examining the
premises of the court house on
his way.

at the social evening given’ by

The. Ladies’ Aid provided $S80/

From lunch onwards he had
scareely. a quiet moment, num-
bers of friends calling upon him
and pressing on his attention
their various grievances or re-
commendations,

Quite a number of people from
Lakelse interyiewed Mr. Pattullo,
their one little lamb being the
question of the erection of a
bridge oyer the river, To all of
these the member expressed his
own eagerness to have the work
commenced at the very earliest
moment—he hoped it would be

problem. He thought Ottawa
would not stand npon technical
points and he would bring all the
pressure to bear he could upon
the government to haye a start
made with the bridge.

After dinner Mr. Pattullo was
bombarded by deputations. The
first consisted of Messrs. Braun
and Baker who presented a peti-
tion calling for stronger measures
to protect timber and asking as-
sistance for the installation of

damaged timber.

“Nothing doing,” was the
characteristic answer of the mem-
ber, who added that while he
wanted to see the resoutces of
the province conserved, he would
be no party to government com-
petition with private industry, ©
“So far-as roads are concern-
ed, ** he added, ‘if you require
roads‘ to logging camps which
will afterwards be of real service
for. settlement purposes, we will
help you, but it they will not

‘Iserve for settlers then you must

build them yourselves if you
want them.”’

The next deputation was from
the G.W.V.A. and. consisted’ of

and J. McIntyre. Their repre-
sentations were entirely of a
personal ° character,’ and ’ while
they. did ‘not, secure all ‘they
