Oliver rhllllpion, cannery hand, also caught a glimpse of the man's head under the float but It disappeared before he could reach It. Tom Steen, cannery hand, told of the Indian boy calling that there was a man In the water. He ran down the float and could see It was the body of a Chinaman who appeared to be almost dead. The current took the body under the float and he tried to reach It with an oar but could not. He called to Fhilltpson and they got the latter's boat to find the body, which had sunk. The cannery manager stated that nearly the entire personnel of the cannery spent the morning looking for the body. Nets were spread and a very thorough search made until the tide went out, leaving all the area where the body was seen high and dry. There Is a strong back eddy and undercurrent around the float and under the dock at that point and It Is thought the body must have been swept out Into the river Into the main current.. A pair of shoes found on the-dock were standing together as If they owner had step ped right out of them. The man was one ot a gang who had been contracted for through the Chinese labor bureau.

REPORT WONDERFUL CROP ON PRAIRIES .Mr. and Mrs. A. K. Ilazett-Jones Hack From Holiday Trip to Edmonton and Japer The present appearance of the crops and would be ot far greater benefit to Prince Rupert and the. province generally than would the Skeena River route. If tourist simply wish to reach salt water on the Pacific, Mr. Leighton suggested that they could do so much caster and quicker by a road from Ter race to Klttmaat- by way of Lakelse where there would be but 31 miles ot rftew-rcad to eomtlW. There they would pass the famous Be iprtflr and Open parts, up a timbered country that wouia oe very valuable.: NeaMt would be the famous Gardner Canal with its won derful scenery. He argued that the Skeena Is already opened up by a railway and there was no particular need of a road that way. Mr. Leighton used maps to Illustrate his point and told ot thi timber and power passlbaitle of the district. He urged that the development of Prince Rupert depended on the development of the Country contingent to It. especially the Skeena and Naas watersheds. On the Ecstall there was Big Falls capable of generating 15,000 horse power and Brown's River with possibility of 7.000 horse power. There was also a possibility of power on the Khyex River.! The cottonwood stand of the Skeena Valley was valuable and- Its development was commencing. - ' Mr. Lelght3n spoke si the timber ot the Lakelse Valley as a wonderful pulp p.salblllty which might also draw from the valley of Kltaumkalum. Engineers were now In the field examining the power possibilities of that area. It was possible power might be developed on the Kltsumkalum but the best latent power In the district was on the Naas River where engineers estimate 25.000 horse power could be made available. At Kltselai there was a power possibility and others In the Copper and on the Bulkley at Hagwelgaet and Beament canyon. Mr. Leighton told of the provincial forest reserve at Babine Lake which It was proposed to make a perpetual forust where land could not be alelnated. Mr. Lelghton's address was much appreciated and he was thanked by the president. Colonel J. W. Nlcholls. FARMER ATTACKED BY OWL IN HIS FIELD IROQUOIS. Aug. 19.
