wise, The operating of excursions
had provided work for train crews and
other railway enplorees and it was
found that the majority of travellers
were those going to stay with friends,

at the annual school meeting in. New
Hazelton last Saturday night, in’ fact
only three besides two trustees. The
secretary presented the report and al-
so reid the. resignation of Leo Spoon-
er as trustee. This made the election
of two trustees necessary. J. H. Wil-
Jan was re- -elected for. the three yeur
term and D: McKenzie for the two
year term. “The pudget for the yeur
was presented and after some diseus-
