Mr, and Mrs. T, W. Shackleton:
made a trip to Prince Rupert and]

back over the week-end.

A earload of machinery has
arrived for the Skeena ‘Lumber
Co., among whieh is a ten-ton
planer. This equipment has been

taken across the river over the
ice crossing, and is now being
installed.

W. H. Peterman, managing
director of the Skeena Lumber
Co., left last week for the east,
on business.

Mr. and Mrs. A. Wells went
up to New Hazelton on Saturday
to visit the, former’s sister, Mrs:
G. Lacroix, on her 62nd anniver-
sary on Tuesday.

It is pleasing to announce that
Mrs. E. Whitlow is fast conva
lescing from her severe attack of

pneumonia and will soon ‘be able
to be around again.

A masquerade danee, which

was well attended, took place on}:

Saturday night in Bethurem Hall,
and was featured an excellent
display of costumes ranging from
that of the mndern flapper to
that of the 17th century seignieur.

|The dance. was. under the aus-

pices of the Usk Tennis Club,
and the ladies who managed the
affair made a. good job of it.
Under the critieal eve of Judges
Mrs. D. McClarty, L. E. Moody,
and G. H. Edwards, tie prizes
were awarded to Mrs. J. Halbert
and Mrs. A. J. Thompson, who
went respectively as a Prospector
and a Male in Full Dress, and tp
George Reynolds, as the Wild
Man From Borneo, and to QO.
Mathieson, as a Colored Nurse,

A new salmon cannery, a new
abbatoir fer P. Burns & Co., a
grain elevator, resumption ofthe
big saw mill are some of the joys
in the life of Rupertites.
