OTTAWA,
March

An
order-in-council
was
passed
by
the
federal
government
yesterday
providing
for
an
air
mail
service
from
Prince
George
to
Fort
St.
James,
Manson
Creek
and
Takla
Landing
in
the
Omineca
mining
district
of
British
Columbia.
In
addition
to
this
air
mail
service,
commencing
May
29
from
Prince
George,
there
will
be
a
service
eight
times
per
year
from
Prince
George
to
Fort
McLeod,
Finlay
Forks
and
Fort
Grahame.
The
new
services
will
necessitate
the
opening
of
post
offices
at
Fort
McLeod,
Manson
Creek
and
Takla
Landing.
The
mail'service
north
from
Van-derhoof
will
be
increased

three
times
a

for

and
J.
G.
Tur-geon,

have
been
pressing
for
these
air
mail

and
also
hope
to
get
still
further
consideration
for
the
northern
mining
areas.

that

The
