the Hazelton Hospital Friday evening
{after an illness of some duration. He
was a inner and prospector and for 2
number of years has been a partner
with Dave Henan in the Tapley Group
lat Topler. So far ns could be learned
no relatives are alive. The decensed

and gave it as 75. The funeral was

‘mont in the Hazelton cemetery, Rev.
Mr. Moore of the United Church con-

ducted the service. .

~ Dr. Smook of Philadelphia, a tour ist
of the right kind, is around the dist-

rict for a few days, he is not particular -
ahout a few extra days, so long as the

fishing is good. He ‘has been out in
the lakes. country and heard of the
tront and salmon fishing in the rivers
in this district. He is now trying out.
the sport. His last trip ‘for fish was
to Norway. He finds there is hetter
fishing much closer home, but distanee
means nothing to him. ‘On Tuesday CG
W. Dawson took Dr. Smook out to Lost
Lake and gave him the hest day’s fish-
ing he had had so far this trip. Bud
promised to tuke him to another lake
on Phursday sud. the Doctor was quite

content’ to feat: ‘wp. Wednesday for’ +he re
sake of ‘another. rood day: witht the fly.
‘There is one thing about Bud Dawson:

ind that is. he knows fly fishing and
is ready ny old thme to take a stran-

stranger must be a fly fisherman.

Smook is just’ that. .

just that and the traffic was handled

were provided to attract the adults and

and the playing fairly even, the visit-
ors never got a break and could not
seore. On the other hand the Smith-
(ers boys had horse shoes all over them
jaind could do about as they pleased.
The final score was 8 to 0 in favor of
Smithers.

:| Saturday night there was a dance in

all at which a good. sized
crowd was present. One young - lady
wns heard to remark that it was the
nicest dance she had ever attended in
Smithers.

any ‘better ‘shape for playing -ball—of
course they all went to.the dance: and
i had a food “time, That Was what: they
left home to have. 4

First thing Sunday morning. the’ "gee.

ed: ‘ .
‘Then snndag. afternoon along about
five o'clock a. second. ball game ,was
called between the Hazeltons and the
Smithers team. In that game ‘was
where condition and lack of condition

showed up. The Smithers boys: were —
in the pink and just played rings alt
around the visitors.’ The: final score
was fourteen or so to-about three in
faver of Smithers,
