Manson Makes Fighting Speech Attacks other Parties and Defends Policy of Government The Liberal Party brought their big guns into action during the week when they opened the campaign at Alice Arm on Thursday evening. Mr. H. P. Kergin gave a short address, followed by Attorney- General A. M. Manson, who spoke for two and a half hours. He was in lighting form, and spared neither McRae or Bowser in his criticisms. His speech was a masterpiece, and showed that he is thoroughly conversant with the subjects he discussed. Over 150 persons were present, and the speakers were well received by the audience. No questions were asked, or did any opposition members speak. Mr. C. P. Riel occupied the Chair. Mr. H. F. Kergin opened his address by touching on local affairs. He accused Mr. J. M. Morrison of circulating false reports, in which he said that he had been accused of holding up the formation of a townsite at Alice Arm. This he. denied. Mr. Morrison had also said that he had illegally procured 200 acres of land on the Kitsault flats. Mr. Kergin said the land was staked in 1920 and it was 50 acres instead of 200, and that he did not have a title to it. Several other statements made by Mr. Morrison were emphatically denied. Mr. Kergin asked the audience to remember that the Liberal government were responsible for the Workmens' Compensation Act Eight Hour Day Act, and several others, and in passing these aots had alienated the employers. Mr. Kergin also stated that the transportation interests are against the government, due to Oliver's fight against freight rates. . He defended the Liberal caucus, aud stated that it was a far better system than the Conservatives had. The government thresh out all problems in caucus, and do not jump at the snap of the Premier's whip, as the opposition do when Bowser gives tho sign. Hon. A. M. Manson, was the next speaker, and he held his audience spell-bound while he tackled first one problem after another. He commenced by taking a man-sized whallop at Gen. McRae, leader of the Third Party. He turned the history of the party baok to 1916 when a number of Conservatives were sore at their defeat. McRae had offered Bowser $50,000 for an office on the cabinet, and had been turned down. He lot con trol of the United Farmers organization, at their convention at Vernon in 1920, and changed it to the Provincial Party. He then organized what is now, the most highly paid organization that ever existed in Canada, and published the Searchlight, which was for the purpose of a mud slinging campaign against the government. Mr. Manson said that more vile, bitter aud slanderous language had never been used against any government in Canada. He said that at the late Provincial Party convention from 80 to 90 per cent of the delegates had their expenses paid, and came to do McRae's bidding. In dealing with the Royal Commission of the P. G. E. hesa^d that McRae did not really want a commission appointed, but the Premier called his bluff, so that they could not howl over the province that they had been denied an investigation. They found fault with the finding of Judge Gallagher, and the speaker said if the Archangle Michael had been brought down from Heaven he would not have suited McRae. The speaker then gave a detailed account of the evidence of the commission, and in summing up he said that of the 31 charges brought against the government not one had been proven. He felt sympathetic towards the followers of the Third Party. They had been reading misleading literature. No self respecting person would belong to the party had he attended the Royal Commission. As an illustration he showed a copy of a dooument printed in the Searchlight whioh was a forgery, and the affadivat, perjury. Mr. Manson proved to the satisfaction of his audience that the alleged graft of P. G. E. oon- struetioti was a myth. He gave a few instance of the business methods of McRae and stated that although that gentleman said he was an unwilling partner, yet he made $1,136,000 from the Port Mann townsite scandel. His whaling venture netted him a fortune. He formed a oompany for $4,500,000 and at the sheriffs sale whioh followed' bought in the assets for $178,500, paying 6 cents on the dollar to the debehture holders. , Is this the man to whom we should hand over our natural resources? he asked. Mr. Bowser, leader of the opposition was criticized by the speaker. Dance at Alice Arm A dance was held at the Alice Arm Hotel on Saturday evening. Now there are ordinary dances, good dances, and especially good dances, and the Saturday evening affair lays claim to the latter title with a capital E. The dance was staged by a number of Anyox visitors, whioh included the celebrated Elks' orchestra. They came over on the launch Awake, and returned On Sunday evening. The fun commenced at 9 o'clock and soon the floor was crowded to the limit. The snappy music, played by the orchestra, composed of C. Hutchinson, clarinet; S. Steele, trombone; G. Leslie, and S. Armstrong, violins; J. W. Austin, piano; E. J. Waterman, drums; was a treat to the Alice Arm folks. The orchestra were tireless, and kept the dancers, busy throughout the evening. Supper was served by Mr. R. W. Clayton, of the Alice Arm Dining Room. The people of Alice Arm were loud in their praiae of the Elks' orchestra, whose splendid , music enabled them to spend such •' a pleasant evening, and trust that a return visit will soon be made.

Apologies Owing to the large amount of news and advertising arriving at the office exceptionally late this week, we are forced to omit some important news items. These will be carried in our next week's issue. Mr. Bowser had tied a millstone around the necks of the people of the province when he guaranteed the bonds of the P. G E. for $87,000,000. The government were iii it up to the eyebrows when they took office and had to carry on. Mr. Bowser also sold the agricultural lands of the province to big land companies, and the development of the province had been thrown back many years. He said, for eight years Mr. Bowser had torn down. He could not see any good in legislation of any kind introduced by the government. He was blinded by party politios and as a result was unpopular. Mr. Manson then defended the legislation passed by the government during the past eight years, and asked his audience to remember what the government had done for them during their term of office. Sport at Anyox Greenwell's wildness in the first inning, coupled with two hits and numerous errors, netted the Smelter three runs and proved tbe downfall of the Elks on Tuesday evening. Cody took up the burden in the second inning and held the opposition down, to four scattered hits and one lone tally, during the •remaining six innings. Fitzpatrick was in good form for the Smelter, and was only in serious trouble once, in the seventh inning Cody doubled to deep right, Greenwell flied out to Brentzen, Hall walked, Sheen landed on one of Bennies' slants for a blow that would have been good for four bases, but unfortunately for the Elks if was foul by several feet. Sheen then proceeded to fan. Mclntyr rolled an easy one to the pitcher and ended the inning. The Smelter trotted two new men before the public, Wells, at short stop and Dow, at second base. Wells showed up well with the willow, gathering in two good hits out of three trips to the plate.

In the football game on Monday evening the Mine defeated tlie Smelter in a close and hard fought oontest by the score ■ of 1 goal to nil. The Smelter were doing most of the pressing but Stewart in goal for the miners proved their stumbling block. Scott centre forward for the Mine, notched the lone tally, heading it in from a corner kick. will be -returning to Anyox in a few days time and Mr. Rice will be* spending most of his time in the vicinity of Alice Arm and Anyox, while Mrs. Rice will reside temporarily at Alice Arm.

CANADIAN NATIONAL OFFICIALS FIGURE IN CHANGES Political Candidates The election campaign is now under way, and a three-cornered fight is in progress in this constituency. We are extremely fortunate in having three such men as H. F. Kergin, E. J. Conway, and R. Armour in the political arena, and whoever is elected, we can rest assured that the mining interests of this district will be their first consideration. Mr, H. F. Kergin, who has just completed a term in the legislature, is pretty well known throughout, the Atlin riding. He has lived in the north for the past twenty years, many years before Prince Rupert was in existence, and has seen the northern coast district grow from two fishing villages, Port Simpson and Port Essington. to its present prosperous condition, and he has pioneered it in every town on the north coast. His whole business interests are centered in the district. He knows the needs of the district, and its prosperity is as vital to him as anyone. During the past four years he has gained considerable experience in parliamentary work, and should he be returned to office this knowledge will be a considerable advantage. Mr. E. J. Conway, the conservative candidate, is also well known throughout the district. As a field engineer in the employ of the Granby Mining Co. he has travelled extensively throughout the whole riding, and knows thoroughly the problems confronting the prospector, and small mining companies, who are opening up this new country. He is in a position to obtain first-hand information of the mineral wealth of ihe district during his daily occupation. Mr. Robt. Armour, the provincial candidate, is well known around Anyox, where he holds a position of superintendent mechanical engineer for the Granby Co. He is also well known in Alice Arm, where he is interested in the Esperanza mine. The only trouble with Bob is that he got hooked up to the wrong party. If such a thing should happen that McRae should be our next premier, the progress of the north would be thrown back a decade, for McRae's interests are all in the south, and his ability to feather his own nest is well known. Work for New Government Whatever government is elected to power on June 20, one of its first duties is to provide decent transportation up the Kitsault valley. At the present time, work of repairing the road for pack horses is going on. This work is only • temporary and the same condition of affairs will exist next year. Mining companies will not spend money in developing properties under such conditions, and meanwhile, Alice Arm as a mining camp is being forgotten. Come Again Anyox In the art of entertaining, the people of Anyox are pastmasters at the game, as anyone who has lived in the smelter town, or have had the pleasure of attending their social affairs knows full well. Due to the isolated position of Anyox, it is up to the residents to provide their own amusement, and their efficiency in this respect is due to a lot pf hard work and experience. Occasionally a number of Anyox entertainers journey to Alice Arm in order to give the residents there a treat. This happened last Saturday, and to say that everyone had a good time would be putting it mild. Alice Arm appreciates the visits of Anyox entertainers and hopes the next visit will not be delayed. Large Timber Purchase Tlie Bella Coola Logging company has purchased one billion feet of standing timber from eight settlers in the Bella Coola Valley, the settlers receiving $50,000 cash and in addition will receive stump- age of one dollar a thousand feet. The company will spend $100,000 at once in preparing for logging and by the end of the summer will have 200 loggers employed. The logs will be exported direct to United States mills. Mike: "This is a great country, Pat." Pat: "And how's that?" Mike: "Shure, th' paper sez yez can buy a foive-dollar money order for three cents." -.

Premier Mine Still Paying Dividends British Columbia's leading mine, the Premier, on Salmon River in the Portland Canal district, has paid its first quarterly dividend for 1924 and cheques at 8 cents for every share have been distributed. The quarter ended March 31. As the share capital of the Premier Gold Mining Company is 15,000,000, the total dividend amounts to $400,000. The payment brings the total dividends of the mine up to $5,400,000—more than the capitalization of the company. The first dividend was deolared less than three years ago, since which time the company has never missed a quarter. In that period the largest dividend paid in any one quarter was $800,000. There were also two dividends amounting to $500,000 each. LORD ULL1SWATER Who is representing Great Brit** ian at the Emigration and Immigration Conference being held in Rome.

I have freely criticized the local political situation with various members of the Liberal Association. Any opinion I may huve expressed regarding same I am willing to repeat. When our present member wus seeking election, one of his strong planks wus to do away with political patronage. This in my opinion he has failed to do. Be sub-division of Lot 1070, the plans have been approved by the Public Works engineers and our member is the only person 1 know of who is holding them up, ,iV Yours sincerely, JOHN M.
