"We
went

stated
G.

this
morning
following
his
return
from
a
trip
to
Ottawa
and
Montreal
in
company
with
Olof
Hanson,
M.P,
for
Skeena.
"It
was
an
effort

get

In

We

"We

Mr.

In

that

"In

Mr.

as

SMITHERS,

The
Bulk-1
ley
Valley
gained
another
good
ad-
;
dltion
to
Its
agricultural
population
last
week
when
Conrad
Tugnum
of
Switzerland
purchased
480
acres
of
choice
farm
land
at
The
property
consists
of
two
farms
occupied
by
John
Lapadat,
one
of
which
Mr.
Lapadat
owned
himself
and
one
being
rented
by
him.
Mr.
Tugnum
arrived
from
Swit
zerland
about
two
months
ago
and
has
spent
the
time
he
has
been
here
In
thoroughly
sampling
the
soli
of
many
farms
throughout
the
district
and
eventually
made
the
purchase
of
the
farms
mentioned.
,
He
Is
an
experienced
farmer
and
was
also
manager
of
a
cheese
fac-
j
tory
In
.Switzerland
and,
he
sees

great1

Bulkley

Valley
for
both
a;
cheese
factory
and
;a
creamery.
1
Several,
other
countrymen
of
his
have
settled
in
the
Bulkley
Valley,
prior
to
the
coming
of
Mr.
Tugnum
and
there
is
no
doubt
that
these
Old
Country
farmers
will
prove
to
be
a
distinct
asset
to
this
country.
1
Mrv
Tugnum,
who
has
his
family
;
of
a
wife
and
three
young
sons
with
him,
says
that
he
is
of
the
firm'
plnlon
that
a,
European
war
In
'he
near
future
is
Inevitable.
In
!act,
he
was
afraid
that
it
might
be
on
before
he
could
get
out
of
'.he
country
and
he
did
not
wish
lo
bring
up
his
boys
In
the
shadow
if
such
a
catastrophe.
The
real
estate
transaction
was
handled
through
the
office
of
L.
H.
Kenney
of
Smlthers
and
the
farms
are
two
of
the
first
pieces
if
land
to
be
taken
up
In
the
early
settlement
of
this
valley.
The
old
road
house,
"The
Gla-
iler
House,"
which
used
to
cater
to
the
travelling
public
in
the
days
prior
to
the
railway
when
tote
teams
were
the
only
means
of
transportation
through
the
valley,
was
situated
on
one
of
these
farms
and
the
Glentanna
school
Is
at
oresent
situated-
on
one
of
the
properties
at
the
junction
of
four
roads
in
Glentanna.
The
nature
of
the
country
and
the
mountain
scenery
appeal
to
the
settlers
from
Switzerland
as
It
Is
very
similar
to
what
they
left
behind
them
In
their
homeland.
Mr.
Tugnum
Is
very
enthusiastic
over
the
prospects
of
this
valley
and
the
province
generally.

LONDON,

"The

shocked
the
British
public
yesterday
by
frankly
discussing:
the
possibility
of
the
abdication
of
the
King
in
order
that
he
might
marry
Mrs.
U'allis
Simpson.
It
was
the
most
open
discussion
of
the
subject
which
has
so
far
appeared
in
the
British
press.
(An

Mrs.
Ernest
"Wally"
Simpson,

she
and
her
husband
entertained
King
Edward
VIII
when
he
was
Prince
of

Following
her
filing
of
suit
for
divorce,
Mrs.
Simpson
left
the
flat
and
established
a
new
residence
in
Cumberland

less
