_ Slightly Inaccurate .
The Vancouver Sunday Pro-
vince of January 10 has a copious-

ly-illastrated article on ‘“Huge|j.

Bridges Which Span Mighty. Ri-
vers and Canyons of B.C.’? ‘While
the reproductions and text mat-
ter are printed in the usual excel-
lent manner of The Province, the
actual facts of the article contain
several glaring inaccuracies which
detract much from its value. A
drawing of the high level bridge

‘tat Hagwilget is given and said to

be the *‘C.N.R. Suspension Bridge
at Hazelton”, ‘Yhis obviously
is ridiculous, since the structure
is some distance from the rail-

way, is not much wider than a

| locomotive, and has a: maximum

load limit of only about four tons.
Again, a photograph ‘is printed
of the old Indian bridge which
used to be near the high-level
bridge,. and which is now no
more. To this picture is append-
ed the-words, *'Old Indian Bridge
Over Skeena’’, an egregious mis-
application, in that the bridge
was built over the Bulkley River.

to the evening Miss James gave
a piano solo, after which all sat
down to five tables of whist.
The winners of the first prizes
were Miss Irene Durham and L.
HK. Moody, -while the consolations
went to Mrs. J. Bell and P, A.
Donald. The matrons of Usk
are nothing if not original in
their choice of consolation prizes.
Refreshments were followed by a

bers, not the least entertaining
of which was the dancing of the
schattische in true Heilan’ style,
by Miss Butt and P. A. Donald,
and which ended a. very cheerful
evening.. Among those present
were Mr. and Mrs. Alper, Mr,
