HU(M NEW TERRACE STILL FEELING EFFECTS OF DISASTER BY RECENT FLOOD CONDITION j Supplies Getting Short and Prices Advancing More Detailed Survey of Damago Shows Widespread Loss and Hardship (By N. Sherwood) TERRACE, July 2: "Princess Pilsener" has been lo-callv built and launched for bringing supplies by river during the railway tie-up. This is due to the enterprise of Gordon Temple, hotel proprietor, to relieve the famine in beer caused by the flood damage to the railway. It speaks well for the resourcefulness of Terrace people that there i is not yet any serious shortage of the necessities of life. Terrace has supplied the neighboring communities and also, given the railway a good start in the matter of repairing the track by feeding tne large gangs of workmen who have been employed. Many of these men are young fellows who never before had the opportunity to do real work. It Is said they are showing the old and experienced workers a point or two In the way a shovel should be used. The emergency hospital Is doing good work. The whole region between Kltwanga and Kwinltsa Is depending on the efficient opera- MM At - I I. I 1 ...Ul.u rr-- IIUII ui mi."! nuapiuij which iciiau his set up Jo meg the present crisis. Dr SflWeyIll&lsxhTfBe with two nurses and a housekeeper -all local talent. Because Terrace has supplied the surrounding district and also the railway camps, some shortages have become apparent. It seems hard that, despite the self-sacri of the Terrace merchants, It is Ii.ce now necessary to raise the prices in some lines. If Terrace had conserved all Its goods for local use prices would have stayed where they were and the district, could have lived In comfortable Independence I of the rest of the world for months to come. Beer, cigarettes and crackers are litems affected by a raise in price. Negotiating For Boat Negotiations are under way to- bring a good river boat from the Stlklnc to the Skeena. The Terrace Board of Trade has been endeavoring to Induce the railway authori ties to charter a Barrington boat. Meanwhile a service of sorts has been established by Major Burbank by which a supply depot Is being built up at Pacific. Local merchants may get their more urgent needs filled by ordering through the agent here. A relay of speeders, boats and a spell here and there on shanks' pony will do the trick. Postmaster Klrkaldy returned on Thursday from a strenuous trip to' Prince Rupert bringing, with the, ; aid of his assistant, Jack Sparkes, a welcome pack of mall. The trip was made by speeder some of thoi way, by boat here and there, and" by the old reliable method of hit-, ting the trail the rest of the way. Though there is some recovery to normal conditions In those homes which have been afflicted by the recent flood, It should not be assumed that many, If not all, of the homes affected will not need substantial rehabilitation. In many cases the houses and out-bulldlngs ; were simply carried away by the abnormal height and force of the ; river, In other cases valuable cul tivated land was dissolved and Is no more. In yet others good land i has been ruined by the deposit up on It of river gravel and sand. At Usk most of the gardens are ruin ed In that way. In still other cases, although there was no forceful de ruction of land and buildings, the new planted fields and gardens were submerged and the 1936 crop (Continued on Page Four) GORDON WALLACE WINS OVER SONNY JONES BY UNANIMOUS DECISION VANCOUVER, July 2: (CP) Gordon Wallace of Vancouver, Canadian welterweight champion, weighing 145V2 pounds, pounded out a unanimous decision over Sonny Jones, Vancouver negro challenger for the title, in twelve rounds Tuesday night.
