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.

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."

the number of salmon caught has
been very limited.

TO  THE
ELECTORS OF
ATLIN
►•_ tswek\wewk>•_ _w a_»^_i ■■_§<
Atlin Constituency is primarily a Mining Constituency, and requires a man versed in its needs, who will see
that they are provided for.   It holds first place in British Columbia in MINERAL OUTPUT and has turned
in enormous revenues to the coffers of the Government at Victoria
With our high standing and proud position, we want a representative of whom we can be proud.
In getting behind Mr. Conway and electing him with an overwhelming majority, we show that we have regard for our own
interests
That we demand a man of high standing and ability, a man who can
ably present our just demands
The Oliver government has not opened up Atlin constituency.   The Naas Valley is crying for an outlet to
Alice Arm.   The country back of Telegraph Creek demands an overland trail to Stewart.   The Kitsault
Valley lies dormant.   Our present representative is dumb.
Let us get behind this native son, this man whose interests are our
interests, and reclaim our just position at Victoria

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. Canada is not represented because, it is reported, of
Italy's policy of not allowing
Canada to seleot emigrants to
Canada before their embarkation.
It has been the policy of Italy to'
have Canada indicate the class
of emigrants she desires and to
allow the Italian Government to
choose them.

Mr. Editor,
Dear Sir:
Not being a public orator, I did
not attend Liberal Meeting to hear
myself discussed. 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. MORRISON
