EDITORIAL
LEAD
PROCESSION
The
president
of
the
Bank
of
Montreal
In
an
article
published
cNcwherc
in
this
paper
today
declares
that
when
the
turn
comes
Canada
will
be
found
leading
the
procession
In
the
return
to
prosperity.
He
considers
this
view
Justified
because
of
the
manner
in
which
this
country
lias
been
weathering
the
storm.
Sir
Charles
Gordon
says
the
rclurn
to
prosperity
will
probably
be
slow
but
there
are
grounds
for
believing
that
the
bottom
of
the
1'
prrssion
Is
at
hand,
although
ih
-e
is
the
possibility
of
a
sea-unal

ty
visitors
to

Journeyed
thither
I
on
Saturday
with
the
Terrace
Board
;
of
Trade
who
held
a
public
meeting
jin
the
Lee
Bethurem
Hall.
There
was
a
good
gathering
of
the
local
people
In
spite
of
the
unpropltlous
weather.
j
Mr.
McDonell
of
the
Usk
Welfare
Union
welcomed
the
visitors
and
handed
over
the
meeting
to
E.
T.
Kenney,
president
of
the
Terrace
Board
of
Trade.
The
meeting
plunged
at
once
Into
the
consideration
of
public
affairs
I
at
Usk.
Capt.
Wlllman
at
first
objected
to
sending
any
resolutions
forward
to
Victoria
on
the
ground
;
that
the
governmtn
paid
no
atten-
,
tion
whatever
to
them
but
later
withdrew'
his
opposition
to
that
course.
I
Mr.
McDonell
suggested
that
road
work
recently
carried
out
in
the
district
had
been
badly
handled
owing
to
the
lack
of
equipment.
He
moved
that
the
minister
of
works
be
written
to
with
regard
to
this
land
.the
lactf
pointed
out.
This
was
agreed
to.
Mr.
McNIchol
objected
to
the
public
works
department
appointing
an
alien
as
foreman
and
suggested
that
they
should
look
into
the
building
of
trails
for
"bohunks.
trappers
and
foreigners."
.
The
meeting
decided
to
voice
a
protest
against
the
appointment
of
non-Canadians
to
positions
oi
authority.
Another
resolution
asked
for
the
completion
of
a
road
between
Ter
race
and
Usk
via
Vanarsdol.
Another
resolution
called
for
the
more
permanent
fixing
of
the.
ferry,
landings.
Discussion
on
some
of
these
sub-locts
arew
rather
warm
and.
ulti
mately,
the-
chairman
suggested
that
they
ask
the
minister
oi
puonc
works
to
visit
the
district
to
look
Into
matters
for
himself.
This
sug
gestion
was
at
once
adopted.
Recommendations
with
respect
to
mining
trails
were
also
endorsed
An
enjoyable
dance
followed,
