runs in the second, 1] due tu errors by
New Hazelton, TLlazelten should have
had more runs but for errors on the
jurt of their own players. From that

The annual rate payers meeting for

Owing to families growing up and the
bupils passing out of the public school
and no new families coming in, it is

| RAILWAY FARES ARE TOO HIGH

knew as “watery whites,”

Canadian Railways Lowered Rates for
Exeursions and Found Heavy
Traffic Awaiting

A train of coaches nearly 60 miles
in length would be required to handle

the two principal railways in Canada
on their low-rate week-end excursions
since these cheap trips were resumed
in February 1932, says the assistan.
general traffic manager of. the C.N.R.
—The low rate excursion, taken up
somewhat timorously in February 1933
had resulted in bringing large nun
bers of people back to train travel. The
two Canadinn railways bad opernted mt
all 467 excursions between points in
Canade between February 1932 and
the end of May, 1933 and the fares for
these journeys had been one cent a
Infle, and even less for long distances.
Between them the railways had hand-
led more than 330,000 passtngers on
these excursions with n combined rev-
enne of something
3etvveen Toronto and Montreal ten
excursions had carried some 35,000 ex-
cursionists during, the period. The
general public has long claimed that
the railway fares were far too high
and therefore took to autos. Now the
railways have proven to themselves
that public opinion was right. The
sane applies. to freight and express
rates and the sooner the railways come
to realize that a reasonable charge will
bring them all the traffic they can
handle, the sooner will the day of de-
ficits be over. The same old fares for
passengers in the west, aud partieular-
ly in the north are still in effect, and
the people caunot travel, nor yet can
they ship anything, Perhaps some day
the railways will he reasonable.

Rescue Plane —

In Clover Fieid

The first land plane to come down —
in the Terrace area landed in a elover
field on H. L. Frank & Son’s farm at
Kalum on the bench two miles west of
town at 3.15 on Wednesday afternoon.

The mechine carrying the Matter:
Rescue Expedition had left New Yuu
the previous Friday and arrived in
Edmonton at 6 p.m. on Monday. After
taking on stores and checking up the
eugine the party left next day on the
flight over the unsettled district he-

‘tween Hazelton nnd White Horse.

‘and TTarold Person, together with Thos
Abbey of the New York Motor Police.
started down a concrete runway 2 mile
and a half long, and ‘after 43 second=
of ground travel took off for the west’

The machine was loaded with 287
gallons of gas, 10 gallons oil, emer-
gency rations, sleeping equipment and
lagenge, and four members of the
party, a total weight of over 2700 Ibs.
They were enroute to search for the
lost Mattern,

Weather reports from Jasper, Red
Pass, Hazelton and all points north
indicated nll clear for a nonstop flight
to White Horse. But some sixty milex
notth of Hazelton they ran into i
cloud bank and turned back to look for
a landing place. They circled over the
Mission Point field, but went on to
Prince Rupert. Finding nothing there
suituble they returned up the Skeens
again and finally decided to try the
)Terrace clover fleld. It was just be-
fore three o'clock in-the afternoon that
the machine was seen circling over the
local ‘field and a party went out at
anee to render aid, but the plane was
safely down before they got there.

Within half an hour preparations to
cut-a runway for the machine were un-
der way under the direction of Forest
Ranger Cooper and Cons. McKenney
The hay was cut and a number of ok]
stumps and snags removed and a goad
path was provided

The crew of the ship were brought
to tewn and after dinner, and in com-
miny with Geo. Little, Cons, MeKennes
; General Road Foreman, Angus McLean
the party were taken on trip aronnd
the district to look for a better land-
ing fleld. They found none better.

It had heen intended to take off on
Thursday morning for Hazelton and
thence nerth te the Yukon, but weath-
er conditions were against them, so
