Array THE OMIN HERALD Vol. 4. No. 40. HAZELTON, B. C, APRIL 5. 1912 TEN PAGES A BIG STRIKE AT KAMLOOPS I.W.W. Behind the Move to Tie Up all Railway Construction in the Province (Special to the Herald) ���������[Vancouver, B.C., April 4th.��� Four thousand employee of the Canadian Northern Pacific have gone on strike, urged on by the I. W.W., and are asking for $3.50 a day and nine hours. They formerly were paid $2.80 per day of ten hours. There has as yet been no formal demand made upon the employers, and there has been no conference held. In fact, ninety per cent of the men, who are foreigners, do not know what they are striking for. Colin Campbell, chief of the provincial police, has left Victoria for Kamloops, the seat of the trouble, to prevent any disturbances. The men remaining in the district have established camps under the socialistic doctrine of all share alike. A large number of the men have come to Vancouver and passed on to Seattle. Reliable report from Edmonton this morning states that I.W.W. delegates left here during the night for British Columbia to carry dissatisfaction into the camps of the G.T.P. The plan is to tie up all railway construction in British Columbia. By the Air Line (Special to the Herald) Dawson, April 3���The local board of Trade is considering the proposal for an aviator to fly from Vancouver to Dawson this summer to advertise the north as the Grand Scenic Route. Aviator Farnum is already in communication with the board. EMERGENCY FUND M'INTYRE BREAKS I FIRST BOAT IN IS ESTABLISHED HEAD-LOCK ANOTHER MONTH Hundred-and-Seventy Drown (Special to the Herald) Vancouver, April 5. ��� Fifty passengers and a crew of eighty were drowned in the wreck of the British steamer Koombana off the west coast of Australia in a typhoon the last week in March. The same typhoon wrecked sixty- seven pearl fishing boats and drowned forty fishermen. Will Start a Saw Mill Chas. Gesecus, o f Francis Lake, is in town this week, having just returned from Vancouver where he purchased the necessary outfit for a saw mill which will be established at North Francis Lake in the very near future. The new firm will be known as John Neston & Co. The timber in the vicinity of North Francis Lake is of the best and there is lots of it. The mill will be a great advantage to the farmers who are trying to clear up their land and get started. Liberals Will Organize Special to the Herald Vancouver, April 3.���For the purpose of maintaining the Liberal organization started just as the date of the election was announced, another meeting is being called by the President, H. H. Brewster, for April 11th, in Vancouver. The last campaign has aroused the fighting spirit of the party and it is intended to inaugerate an aggressive campaign looking towards the next election. Greet Britain Sets Aside Six and a Half Million Canada Called Upon to Help (Special to the Herald) London, April 3.��� Britain rings this morning with the announcement made by Lloyd George that the British cabinet had decided to devote the entire surplus of six and a half million pounds to the creation of a naval emergency fund. This is Britain's dramatic reply to Germany's naval program. The fact that the Chancellor of the Exchecquer makes the announcement in the face of domestic social reform needs is regarded as overwhelming evidence of I the gravity of the present situa- j tion. The Standard calls on Canada | to achive her destiny as the majestic central arch of the Em- | pire by assisting to carry the burden of imperial defence. The meeting of the Hazelton Hospital Aid Association arranged to be held at the home of Mrs. Wrinch on Thursday, April 11th has been postponed until Thursday, April 25th. Beell Fails to Throw Local Wrestler at Everett In Handicap Match Everett, Wash.-"Fred" Beell was unable to throw Chester Mclntyre, of Vancouver, in a handicap match, wherein Beell was to put him on the mat twice within an hour, The Vancouver wrestler was favorable with the audience throughout the match and those who fancied he would place himself on the defensive were mistaken for Mclntyre mixed at every opportunity. Although Beel tried all holds he is master of, they proved ineffective for Mclntyre managed to break them in a manner so clever and skillful that the audience applauded several times Only once was Mclntyre really in danger and that was in the final five minutes, when Beell secured a head-lock, but at the critical moment Mclntyre broke away finishing the match in as good condition as his adversary. Other numbers on the card arranged by Charles Manning were Japanese wrestling and swordsmanship. River is Breaking Up Fast Warm Rains in the North in a Few Days Two Boats on the Ran Pool Tournament The pool tournment at the Galena Club last week was quite a success. The winners were : first, W. Brewer; second, Edgar Ford; third, Fred Brewer; fourth, Edgar Harris. Harris and Sharpe were tie for fourth place and Harris won the play off. A notable feature about the playoff was the two breaks that were made, the biggest throughout the tournament���Harris, 20; Sharp, 17. C. G. Harvey played a remarkable game all through and scored the greatest number of points. He was handicapped 39 points, and had he not lost his nerve the last period or two he would probably have won out. He cleared the board three times, and was the only player who did. ON THE WAY TO NEW HAZELTON No Danger of Land or Snow Slides Here It is now only the matter of a month until the first boat will pull into the Hazelton docks. The Skeena River has started to break up and it is going fast. In a few days more the warm April rains will start in the north and any day after that the boats can get under way from Prince Rupert. Boats have come in here as early as April 25, and as late as May 15th, but they usually arrive first between May lst and 10th. The Hudson Bay Co. \vill have the Port Simpson on the Skeena for the first few trips until the water gets too high in the Canyon, and then she will go to the Stikine. The first couple of trips up she will be loaded with goods for the Hudson's Bay Co. and it is doubtful if she will be able to carry any other freight. Besides the local store there will be supplies for Babine, Fraser Lake, and several other posts where supplies are badly needed, and it is necessary to get the pack trains started early. The steamer Inlander is now being fitted out so as to be ready to start on her first trip as soon as the water starts to raise. It will be a race between the Inlander and the Port Simpson this year for the honors of first arriving at Hazelton. The Foley, Welch & Stewart fleet has dwindled down to one lone steamer and she will likely run only to Sealey. Just how long she will be on the river depends upon the progress of th" steel, and of the bridge. But at the most it is not expected that she will run after the middle of June. Thos. Hankin Jleft on Sunday with six toboggan loads of supplies for the Turnagain country where he will spend the next few months, presumably looking for placer diggings. He had twenty dogs in his string. BUILD SHIPS IN NORTH VANCOUVER Contract Awarded for a Twenty-Five Million Dollar Dry Dock -Work Has Been Started (Special to the Herald) North Vancouver, April 3. The contracts have been awarded for the construction of a twenty- five million dollar dry dock here for the William Hamilton Shipbuilding Co., of Glasgow. Clearing of ten acres of land has been started, and when the work gets well under way some three thousand men will be employed. French and British capital is interested, and when the docks are ready merchant ships will be built. If you want to arrange for a vvater supply for this summer look up the adv. on page three of this issue. On The Railway General Freight Agent C. E. Dewey, of the Grand Trunk Pacific railway, returned to Vancouver last week on the steamer Princess Beatrice from an inspection trip over the western division of the line between Prince Rupert and the end of the line in actual use. He was very enthusiastic over the great progress shown in the construction and confirmed the report that the steel had been laid to the Skeena crossing, about twelve miles from Hazelton. "The most wonderful development is taking place along the Skeena," he said. "New towns are growing rapidly and the fishing industry along the river show signs of a big increase. The country along the section where the railroad is in operation is quickly being transformed and Prince Rupert is humming with activity. (Van. Sun.) FIFTY THOUSAND STRIKERS WORK King, Queen and Queen Mother Contribute $5,000 Each to the Relief Fund The latest reports from the Ground Hog trail are to the effect that there has been considerable rain in the north for several days and that the last parties who went up had considerable difficulty getting across some place. Farther north the trail is reported fairly good yet, although it is doubtful if there will he any more parties start for the coal fields until the pack trains can be used. (Special to the Herald) London. April 3.-In spite of the fact that the miners voted to, remain on strike, 50,000 of them J have resumed work, and it is expected that the rest, or at least enough will follow them, to break up the strike. King George, Queen Mary and the Queen Mother have each contributed $5,000 to the relief fund. The Rifle Association Smoker last night was a great success. There was a large crowd in the hall and the program was one of the best that has yet been produced in the old town. There was boxing, wrestling and other athletic stunts. Several of the men from Silver Standard mine were in town Wednesday and left for the mine again on Thursday. They report progress there very favorable. The first round of holes was fired before they came down. Trout fishing is all the rage now and the boys are making some fine catches. All the stories reported are not fish yarns. Yesterday one party presented the editor of the Herald with three beauties. These will be duly consumed today. Thanks boys. Call again. C. R. Biggart, of Vancouver, is in town this week looking for a location, and he expects to ' very soon start a business in New Hazelton.

APRIL ".. 1912 Why Come to Canada ?-- ���and the Answer A new phase of the nation- wide exodus from the States, the effects of which are now being felt with a daily increasing force in Canada, is pointedly shown up i in the current issue of Winnipeg Once-a-Week, under the caption, : "Still Trekking Northward���and Why." It has been shown, according to recent press dispatches that no less than 75,000 American farmers came to Western Canada between July 1910 and July 1911, and hundreds of thousands before that time, this great army of home-seekers bringing with them about $1,000 per capita. "No wonder," says the correspondent, "there is grave concern now felt in American commercial centres in view of this situation, and that United States officials are engaged in a desperate search for arguments that might dissuade their fellow countrymen from a well-formed purpose." The correspondent asserts, however, that there is a serious flaw in this method of procedure on the part of the United States authorities, inasmuch as while their attention is being concentrated so vigorously upon this great publicity campaign, designed toadvertise the advantages and opportunities open in the States, another powerful array of forces is to be found engaged with equal determination in a campaign of a different sort, "a rather loud and blatant campaign, which has raised serious question in the minds of many Americans as to whether, after all, life is not too short to be spent in its entirety under guard, and surrounded by din and tumult and the alarms of demagogues and agitators." The correspondent then takes up the notorious dynamite conspiracy recently unearthed as a result of the McNamara trial at Los Angeles, and which had ramifications in all the great industrial centres of the United States. Under these conditions it is easily understood why large numbers of thoughtful Americans are carefully considering the question whether life and property are not just a bit more secure under the guarantees and safeguards of the Dominion Government. However, were these attacks upon the established order of organized society merely the output of the loafer and the street corner agitator, peace-loving Americans would feel no special cause for alarm. The case takes on an entirely different aspect, however, when men holding positions of power and leadership in public life assume the role of the demagogue and conduct a systematic campaign of social and political up heaved year after year ��� and especially every fourth year. "It is in view of an approaching national election," concludes the correspondent, "that many fore- sighted Americans today are regarding it expedient to turn then- faces northward ; and from present indications the movement during the coming season appears likely to break all records." As if in confirmation of these statements, J. S. Dennis, head of the Natural Resources department of the C.P.R. has just announced that from careful estimates he looks to see 200,000 Americans settle in Western Canada in 1912. LAND NOTICE W. J.

The Birthday and How and Where to Celebrate It 'Twas God who gave thee that birthday, And doubtless will give others yet With sunshine and joy to make them And friends stand round with good cheer. But ere you have asked for another And waited with joy to see, Just count up the years He's now given And trust him while others draw near. Just measure these counts with pennies And drop them all into a sack; And don't feel stingy about it, For the Infinite Hand is never slack. Then bring this sack with its pennies To the " little church rooms " in the street. And the "Aid " will count all the pennies And God will count you your wage; And the ladies vow on their honor Never to tell what's your age.

The date and place of meeting will be announced on Saturday. In the meantime make no arrangements for next week. It is most desire- able that everyone in town who has any interest in athletics should be at this meeting. There will be hundreds, if not thousands of strangers in town this year and it is only proper that the town should have a first class ball team and furnish up to date amusement for these visitors and new settlers. STEEL WORK ON SKEENA BRIDGE To Buy Right Read Our Advs. Actual Construction Starts First of the Week���Everything is Now Ready The first of next week the actual construction of the steel part of the Skeena bridge will commence. Ira Mann, one of the best steel men, will be in charge. He has a large gang at work now, and for several days past, unloading the steel and getting ready, and once they start throwing the steel over the river they will make things hum. No. 4 pier is now nearly completed. Il was above high water mark on Sunday and thus past all danger. The piers and all concrete work will be completed before the first of May although the steel workers can get started any time. It has been estimated by some of the officials that the steel work on this bridge would be ready for the rails by the middle of May. Almost anything is now possible. All the contractors have been making new records The steel will likely be into New Hazelton early in July. Omineca Hotel J. C. K. Sealey - Prop.

At a citizens meeting held last week it was decided to wire the post office inspector at Vancouver and also the post master general at Ottawa urging the immediate establishment of a post office in the present business section. The the citizens feel keenly on this matter as their mail arrives several days late, although it passes through town on the way from Prince Rupert to old Hazelton. The road between the old town and New Hazelton is exceptionally bad though the stages of Frank Carel are doing a big business. If the weather continues fine it will not be long before the roads are in good shape. In the meantime there is no chance of getting lumber or building material into the town. All the main camps between Hazelton and Burns Lake are now established and working. The roads are in a terrible condition all through the country and the freighting of supplies from Sealey and the Skeena Crossing is a difficult proposition. Foley,Welch & Stewart have 75 four-horse teams hauling steadily and they will be kept on the road all summer. Notice to Creditors and Debtors, All parties having accounts against the late W. D.

For this some of the strike leaders are practially responsible. Until the strike actually occurred 1 there was a general feeling in I the navy that the purchase of one or two Welsh collieries by the admiralty would render the fleet independent of industrial upheavals such as the present. The speeches of one or two i labor leaders who have openly ! boasted that one of the first i effects of the strike would be a nationalization 'of coal mines, in order to keep the navy going, have produced a result other than anticipated by them. Nothing now will ever make the navy trust a Welsh colliery. There is no more conservative institution in the world than the navy, and motor battleships have in the past been looked upon with general disfavor, on much the same principle that steam was objected to many years ago. The British navy does not love innovations, and objections to change has hitherto stood in the way of progressive ideas, just as it stood against the watertube boiler and the turbine. Today all this is changed. From the speeches of leaders it I is amply clear that their idea of; admiralty collieries is merely a means for forcing the pace at the j expense of the state, and inci- dentally also at the expense of the fleet. A realization of this has made more disciples fort motor warships in two days than two year's argument could pos- sibly have done. Every believer in efficiency is now convinced that the safe course lies in a navy of the future with ships independent of coal altogether. In other words, the Welsh colliers have made themselves a dying industry, and played into the hands of the oil engine enthusiasts. Up| till now the policy of "going I slow" with motor warships has I , been strictly observed by the j j British admiralty. For some j J years Russia has had motor gun- : boats. Holland has put in hand ��� I numerous small coast defence : battleships which .are motor driven, and Italy is building five | moi-e destroyers. ,* We have had projects galore, but they have not yet been translated into anything further than one or two experimental motor , destroyers. At least one motor cruiser may now be expected as a feature of the next naval estimates, and not impossibly a plunge will be made with a motor Dreadnought. The British navy is the last force in the world to allow its efficiency to be curtailed by any civil commotion whatever. Plans for motor battleships exist. In the ordinary way it is improbable that these would have come for at least another three years, and possibly five. Today it is rumored that they are being immediately considered. Recent events have totally destroyed the argument which has hitherto been most fatal against both oil- stoked steamers and motor warships. This argument was that we produced Welsh coal in our own islands, and were therefore certain of an ample supply, whereas we produce no kind of oil, and therefore have to import it. Today this argument is perfectly invalid, since what has happened now may even more conceivably happen at some future date, when even greater issues are involved. It may be said that the navy is now unanimously of opinion that coal as fuel must be dispensed with. A more or less exhausted Welsh colliery may be purchased by the admiralty with a view to ensuring a regular supply of coal to existing warships, so long as they last, but it may be taken as settled beyond all cavil or retraction that the strike has killed "King Coal" as a motive power of future British warships. If the strike be prolonged, there is every reason to believe that the merchant service will follow suit. Van. Sun.

Sargent came into town on Saturday night from the Surprise Croup on Clen Mountain, where he has been looking after the construction of a camp for the miners who will operate on the property this season. It will be remembered that it was this property which has been taken over by those interested in the Steamboat Mountain failure and they will have a big gang working shortly. Sinking on the shaft on the Silver Standard mine was started this week. Supt. Haskins had no trouble in pumping the water out of the shaft and the inflow is much smaller than expected and the shaft can be easily kept dry. Bill Sweeny and party left on Sunday with several dog teams for the Ground Hog country to stake some more coal lands, and and also to do some prospecting. They went up the Skeena on the ice, and they will be gone for several months. When they return it will be by the old trail over land. Thos. Hankin left on Sunday with six toboggan loads of supplies for the Turnagain country where he will spend the next few months, presumably looking for placer diggings. He had twenty dogs in his string. KENNEDY, WILSON AND COMPANY SAFE DEPOSIT BOXES FOR RENT Put your money and valuables in the big fire proof safe at the Hazelton Hotel. A New Real Estate Firm for New Hazelton -Will Erect Office Very Soon Kennedy, Wilson & Co. is the name of a new firm which will very shortly open up in New Hazelton for the purpose of handling real estate in that townsite, particularly sec. 1 and 3, land, timber and insurance. Gordon S. Wilson is around now getting things ready and Mr. Kennedy will arrive shortly. They will erect an office building in New Hazeltion and make that their headquarters. Mr. Wilson visited the new town the first of the week and he was greatly surprised at the progress that had been made there. He bad not been in New Hazelton since last August and at that time there was only a couple of small buildings and work was just starting on the pay offices for the contractors. Today there are several large and substantial buildings as well as many smaller ones, and nearly all of them are located on sec. 1, on the property that was cleared by Wm. Kennedy last summer. Altogether there is over fifty buildings in New Hazelton and every week there are more going up. Speaking of the future of the town Mr. Wilson stated that this next summer would be a hummer for the new town and that it would enjoy an immense I growth until away late in the fall. He could not see any way i that the business section could I be moved from its present location. The buildings that have been put up represent considerable money and the new busi-, ness people who are coming in will hardly locate in any other section. Thus he figures that the present settlement will always be good. New Produce Store Robt. E. Tracey and S. Jacobs, of Prince Rupert, have leaced 33 ft. on Pugsley street at the corner of Thirteenth ave., from V. W.; Smith and they will erect a building within the next few weeks for the purpose of doing a general produce business, retail and wholesale. Mr. Jacobs has returned to Rupert to arrange to ��� bring the stuff up. Mr. Jacobs was until lately connected with the Journal in Rupert and Mr. Tracey is secretary of the Rupert real estate exchange. LAND NOTICE Omineca Land Districi���Distriet of Coast, Range V.

With our improved plans and new system of raising the farm poultry, the cost of installing and operating a profitable poultry business will be reduced from 25 to 50 per cent., and this will make it possible for the farmer to increase his flock and get a larger income from poultry. The farmer can keep poultry in larger flocks than is the most profitable for the city poultryman, and still get satisfactory returns, as much of the necessary material is produced on the farm at a very small cost.

NEAREST APPROACH TO SUN LIGHT. information Vancouver B'C* ^- Remind Sask. skim milk, sweet apples, mangels, turnips, onions, potatoes all find their place in the supplies needed for poultry, and the farmer gets them at normal cost. There will be plenty of chaff from clover or alfalfa, and its value is nearly equal to that of cut clover or alfalfa. So it is easily seen that the farmer has many natural advantages for conducting a profitable business. To make the business attractive to farmers, we cannot add to the labor, as this is one of their most difficult problems. With a better system and a little more planning a larger portion of the work will come when there is the most time to do it, and fortunately this is just the time of the year when the best returns mav be had. All the chickens should be hatched about February, March and April, at the time of year when the price of eggs is low. This will make it possible to have the chickens well started before the regular farm work commences when there will be little time to look after the newly hatched chickens. The surplus cockerels will then reach the broiler age when broilers are in the greatest demand and bring the highest market price. The pullets will all commence to lay during July, August and September, and will then do their best laying during! October, November, December and January, the four months of the year when eggs bring the highest market price, and when the farmer will have time to give the fowls the best care. During December, while eggs are selling at five cents each, every hen hatched last February, March or April, should net the poultryman $1.00 per month. The hen that does her best laying during the months of March, April and May, when eggs sell at the lowest price, will earn but from 15 to 25 cents per month i for its owner. For more than thirty years the price of fall and early winter I eggs has been more than double ! the price of eggs during the late spring and early summer. This can be accounted for because of the fact that the larger percentage of the eggs have been produced by farmers who travel alcng the road of the least resistance, allowing their hens to have their own way, producing eggs without much help or thought from their keeper. It is possible for hens, however, to produce eggs when eggs sell at the highest market price, if they are at the right age and are supplied with the necessary food to make them. Greater profits can be had from the production of market eggs during the four months from October to January, than from the other eight months of the year, and if we are to profit by the market conditions that have existed for more than thirty years, we must be progressive and take advantage of every opportunity. Pullets hatched during February or March, should produce eggs that will yield a net profit during the year of at least $2.00, Under the name "OMEGA" knowledge and quality combine to make a watch as perfect as a timepiece can be made. O.K. Restaurant, Chop- SUEY HOUSE AND BAKERY and with the very best care and j conditions it is possible to getj several times this amount by the; time a pullet is one year old. In making plans for raising the pullets, it is best to estimate that one pullet will be raised from every four eggs incubated, although better results can be had under more favorable conditions. The most active hens are the best layers and should be selected and kept in separate pens for' S<irg6Ilt & HdllCr reproduction of the flock, and T , v _. should be fed an abundant supply | JeweIcfS Hazdton of sprouted oats and a good quality of clover or alfalfa. The rest of the hens for the production of market eggs mav be kept without male birds and supplied with a heavier ration that would be detrimental to the fertility of eggs from which to hatch other chickens. They may also have one-fourth ounce of green cut bone or butchers' scraps daily. It is important, however, that the scraps be fresh and sweet; if tainted they will produce limber neck and other diseases. Green cut bone should never be fed to hens that are to produce eggs for incubation. With our improved farmers' plans, one person can do all the work in caring for 500 laying hens and raising the chickens necessary to take the place of the older hens at the end of each year. Pullets are about 25 per cent, more productive than yearling hens and we find a decrease in egg production of about 25 per cent, each succeeding year as the hens grow older. There are about three plans for the farmer to adopt that will yield a satisfactory income for his labor in caring for the fowls. (to be continued) Open Day and Night Near McEwen's Store SEALEY B.C.

Out of this shaft, Mr. Cowan says, that they have taken ore to the value of $9,000 gross. The ore will run 22 per cent copper. On account of the water it was necessary to stop work on the shaft and since then they have started a drift on the vein from enjovable one the eastern end. The vein runs east some 600 feet where the hill drops off abruptly. It is at this j point where the ore crops out and where the new tunnel has been started. Work will be continued on this vein right through lo the shaft and a 100 feet beyond, if the ore continues good, and Mr. Cowan says he is perfectly satisfied that it will as they have tested it in several places. When they reach the shaft they will have a depth of 150 feet. By taking all the present information into consideration, and figuring the price of copper at present market prices, there will be in sight ore to the value of $1,500,000 on the upper vein alone. By driving this tunnel along the vein the company will not drive the big cross cut tunnel that was figured on during the winter. The new one will be much better and they will be taking out ore every time they dump a car and by next fall when the railway company can handle the freight Rocher de Boule will have many hundred tons of ore The cause was the overheating of from the Skeena Crossing bridge! the nitrate mixers, up to the mine and that he J ��� would put men to work on it as soon as the snow was off.

The electric energy that has been running to waste for centuries, and that is still being wasted, between Prince Rupert and New Hazelton and Morricetown is unlimited. It needs only big men with big, broad ideas, big capital and some nerve. Truly New Hazelton is the most favored spot of British Columbia. Great Water Power | Being Wasted *�� CHURCH SERVICES In all the advertising which New Hazelton and the Hazelton district has had the past year, and it has had a full share, there has been not a word about the tremendous water power flowing by the town, and this water power if utilized would make New Hazelton the greatest manufacturing city in the north and west. The Bulkley river, flowing past the town, is to New Hazelton what the Niagara river is to Buffalo, Niagara Falls and the whole of ..Western Ontario. For a distance of some thirty miles the banks of the Bulkley are very high and for the most part of solid rock, which just below the present engineer's headquarters, or where the depot will be located on the railway is a wonderful basin, designed by nature for storing water. At Haguelget, at the very door of New Hazelton, the river narrows into a canyon less than 300 feet wide, with high banks of solid rock and a natural flat for a power plant on one side. The construction of a dam 25 ft., 50 ft., or 100 ft. high is a simple matter. There is almost unlimited storage up river and no land to drown. The flow of the river can be controlled and the power maintained at any horse power decided upon. It is safe to say that from 25,000 to 50,000 horse power can be developed at Haguelget Canyon, or sufficient to operate all the mines of the district, give each an electric tram to the railway, operate electric railway to all parts of the district, light parks, river drives, and furnish very cheap electric power for an immense manufacturing city. The development of the Bulk- ley river at Haguelget is of equal importance to the district as are mines or the farm lands. Cheap electric power will do more for the upbuilding of a commercial community, such as New Hazelton will and must be, than any other combination of resources. The river is there. The Canyon is there. The water is there and going to waste for centuries. Nature has blessed New Hazelton with a water power with few equals on the continent. It awaits the white man to harness and make use of. At Morricetown, about 20 miles farther up the river is a magnificent falls where the same water can be harnessed and turned to a national asset. An equal amount of power is available.
