Tbert ‘Bedore had | passed away in the early’ howrs of the. morning. Born in

Benson's team desired of anti- mee cipated: From the start it was quite fe apparent that the-beys from the rail- Bway berg had done some’ practicing Re since thelr last vislt to this neck of fm the woods. ‘The score was 19 to 4 in man favor of the visitors. -The Hazelton meg boys tried hard enough, but they did fm uot seem to connect and the Smithers

B boys were able'to place most of thelr Me hits where there was no Hazelton mah to interfere. with the. ball. Perry m York was in the box for the home team and it was his second public ap- mae pearatce in that” position, He seem-

f cd to be a little nervous at first and allowed a lot of hits, but he got down - to business towards the end and put,

St over some good stuff, but it was too |:

late, He did not get as good support ' ws might be. expected. Cliff Warner, the veteran pltcher for Smithers, was ae ii the box for the first half;-but Cliff ae is getting stiff and heavy, He put Smithy Arnold in for the last haif. But, the Hazelton boys “did not ‘seem to be able to hit either pitcher very extensively. The game was, however, good practice and the Hazelton boys ? were able to see their weak spots. It

will help them out on their anticipat- # ed game with Terrace at an early date

Bush Fire Did

_ Much Damage 7 ‘Newitt Farm

Charlie Newitt, -€ Glentanna, one of the: first” settlers in that. part of the Bulkley ‘Valley, was burned out last Thursday afternoon by 2 bush fire out of. control. The tire hoa - been burn- ing. “for some time. and Inst week dur- ing a. high wind..it, is reported to have jumped - the Buikley river and then started ‘to ‘work tts way -north. Mr! Newitt was in the house looking after a- batch of bread he had Im the oven and his place wag in flames before he was aware of it All bis buildings, were wiped out, with their contents. His” chicken house was among thosé destroyed and also 45 hens. He got some:75 young chicks ont of their own house. He turned. his horses - loose and the cattle were out at pasture so: he believes that the animals’ yould be safe from. the fire.

‘The farmers of the Bulkley . Valley’ renlize the seriousness of bush or of clearing fires at thig time of the sea- son and some of them, are quite work- ed: up about the apparent. carelessness | of some who get a fire permit and. then let the fire go. 4 Quite a number of farmers have _ been quite _ heavy Joogers in recent years from uncon- trolled clearing fires. There was o strong feeling in some. quarters that the government be requested to abol- ish the fire permit system, and that after the first of May no fires be al- lowed to be started. With the permit system there does not seem to be suf- ficent care taken in issuing the permit and then the party with the permit is

Tories Object To Increase in Telephone Rate

“The executive of the Skeena. Dis- trict Conservative Association was in session in Hazelton last Wednesday night. Members were present . from Hazelton, New Hazelton, South Haz- elton; Terrace, Litile Canyon, Smith- ers, Telkwa and Moricetown. Presi- dent O. T. Sundal of Terrace was in the chair, Among other things - dis- cussed and acted wpon waa an increase in the cost of having a government telephone on one’s premises. The for- mers of the Bulkley . Valley received notices recently that in addition to

through the local exchanges. That is in effect wiping out any service that the telephone might be. For thirty dollars a year the telephone company ov service, will permit a subscriber tu taik oniy to those on his own party line. A. call to any place in town is ai long distance call now. The Con- servatives instructed their heeretary to protest to the Dominion Govern- ment Telegraphs and Telephones. The service rendered over a party line is bad enough and unsatisfactory enough at any time and under the best of circumstances, If the ’ additional costs are persisted in many of the far- mers will take the phones. out, a step away back to the dark ages, but costs must be consideretl on the farm as well os elsewhere.
