PAGE BIZ THE DAILY NEWS Wee-Ya-Tee-Quah-Payo The Pale-Face Chief Forty years ago, by the winding banks of the Moose Jaw river in Saskatchewan, Black Bull, chief of a mighty tribe of warriors, sat in front of his tepee. Sprawled on the trroand at his feet was a small pale-face boy, whose home was in a nearby settlement, lie listened attentively to stories of buffalo hunting and tribal wars. Black Bull liked this little fellow. "Some day, little pale-face, you will belong to my race," said the old Indian chief. So it came to pass that only a few days ago this little chap, now grown to manhood, stood before the descendants of Black Bull, not far from the creek In which he splashed as a lad. The sun went down in the west like a ball of fire and to the chant of the red-men and the muffled sounds of tom-toms, he was ad- mitted to the council of the Crees. a member of the ancient tribean Indian chief. With all the colorful ceremony of Indian initiation he was given the name of Chief Wee-Ya-Tee-Quah-Favo. Chief John Piapot and Chief Aehim Piapot, rugged of face, regal in mein, stood on either side of their pale-face brother. The Indian women and ancient warriors, sit ting in a large circle, Emitted their approval as the green blanket of office was placed about bis shoulders and the huge head-dress of a chief placed upon his head. The newly created chief was Mr. A. E. Whitmore, president of tho Regina Exhibition Association, vice-chairman of the executive and finance committee of the World's Grain Exhibition and Conference to be held at Regina in 1932 and prominent western business man. Chief John Piapot called upon his Indian brothers and the huge crowd attending the ceremony to witness that Chief Wee-Ya-Tee-Quah-Payo (or "Smiling Face") was being thus honored because of his outstanding efforts in the development of the land which once was the home of the Cree and the Sioux and of the buffalo. Him do much for all," said Chief Piapot in his native language. "Him big chief of Exhibition. Him big chief of Exhibition many moons soon," referring to the World's Grain Exhibition and Con ference at Regina next year. The official interpreter then pro ceeded to tell how Chief Piapot wanted all to know that the Indians, hundreds of whom are now engaged in the peaceful occupation of agriculture on the prairies, were all getting ready to take part in next year's world-wide event at Regina and how many of them would be sending samples of their grain to be entered in the competitive classes. "The Indians are looking forward to this great exhibition next year," continued the interpreter, "because they will meet their pale-face brothers from many countries at Regina.

Then came the turn of the new chief to speak. Without the slightest warning he spoke to the Indians in their own language. For a few seconds only his voice could bo heard. The huge crowd in the grandstand sat in their seats hushed. Suddenly the Indians began to rock backward and forward, grunt and clap their hands as they realized that their new chief was indeed worthy of admission to their councils. As a boy he had learned the language of the Indians In his romps with Black Bull, and now, as the new chief, he was able to converse with them to their complete understanding. Chief Smiline Face thanked nii brothers for the honor conferred upon him. and told them that next year when from many lands hundreds of pale-face brothers would come to Repiu the Crees and the Sioux would called upon to greet them. And a little later, as the stars twinkled and the glow of the camp fire lit up the tepees, the new chief with the older men on either side of him, sat at his first council. 'Soul' Discussed Yesterday By Scientists The subject of the lesson-sermon In all Christian Science churches and societies on Sunday was "Soul." Among the Bible texts Included In the lesson-sermon was the following from Hebrews 4:12: "For the word of Ood Is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the : Joints and marrow, and is a dlacern-cr of the thoughts and Intents of jthe heart." The lesson-sermon also Included 'the reading of citations from the Christian Science textbook "Scl-lencc and Health with Key to the .Scriptures." by Mary Baker Eddy, ,one passage being as follows: "The 1 central fact of the Bible Is the su periority of spiritual over physical power."

P. Pullen) The Smithers district has been better treated by the jjj weather man this year than any place east of Prince Ku- g nert. While some nlaces are rather badly sun-scorched Smithers remains green. Flowers are blooming there and 5 the growth is almost too luxuriant, being similar in that 2 reaneet to Prince Runert. The shutting down of the mines- has hit Smithers hard but there Is a regular. If somewhat reduced, payroll from the Canadian' National Railway and the crops of the district are practically all heavy this year. Milk production is high and the people are not badly off, rela- tively. t j Smithers ranks next George in commercial a school district rate oi 10.33 mills but the citizens consider the rather high rate to be the price for Its Importance as a trading centre. Good Schools The school trustees are Dr. Dam-ford, chairman. J. P. Downey, secretary, and L. D. Warner. They provide high school as well as pub lic school facilities, three rooms for the former and six for the latter. The churches are Roman Catholic in charge of Rev. Father Godfrey; Anglican, Rev. L. J. Hales; United. Rev. D. Donaldson. The community and in fact the whole valley to well served by an excellent weekly newspaper, the Interior News, published by L. D. Warner. The paper has a wide cir culation and is well edited. If Smithers becomes a large city It will probably be because of Its mines. The well known Duthle mine is now shut down owing to the slump in the price of silver but min ing is bound to come back, both In the Hudson Day Mountain and the Bablne Range all of which are tri butary to this 'place. The hills are rich with mineral but mining is expensive and capital will have to be encouraged. One feature that makes Smithers rank with the up to the moment centres is the establishment of a golf course. At present they have only five holes, but that Is a beginning and doubtless more will be added. Citizens are now enjoying their evenings on the links.

He Is toying his plans first to supply the market and Just as soon as that is done he will be out to capture the market. j This Telkwa coal is different from iny that has been produced in the neighborhood before. It Is a different vein. It Is located seven miles from Telkwa station with a steady' radc all the way down the five hundred-foot drop. A good road has been built so that transportation to rail head is easy. I The mine is driven into the side of the mountain and Just now Is in fourteen and a half feet of coal of the very best quality. There are so far 000 feet of slopes and level and 1 the working conditions are very easy. The slopes are being timbered for permanent workings and as soon as possible the necessary power will be installed to pump the water from the sump and 'o haul nut the cars.
