Terrace Is Enchanting Place And Looks Its Best Just Now Comments On Recent Visit By II. F. rULLE.V If you want to see Terrace at its best, I suggest visiting it at the beginning or middle of June or, at any rate, ;not later than the first of July. I spent a few days there jast week and I never saw it so beautiful as this year. The pillage itself is spruced up. Most of the buildings have deceived a coat of paint.

J am told that well over twenty new residences have been or are being erected this year and they are of 'jio mean order. In most cases they are being built by the owners for Jthelr own use. Some residents tried to explain that this was not a sign "of progress but their arguments -were not convincing. Even. If some ent Is the Hanson Company.

The shutdown will throw out of employment a great many men and cause more or less financial stress to merchants all along the line. While talking of disabilities it may be mentioned that there has been no rain to speak of In the Bulkley Valley this year since the snow disappeared. As a result, the crops are suffering badly.

Siard times and feared the mills :might shut down before the season Vas over, the hum of the saws was sweet music, mellowed by distance and hallowed by the glamor of sunshine. There are two operating mills ln Terrace Just now, the older mill by Little, Haughland.and Kerr and the other by the Intervalley Lumber Co., usually known as Glggey's Mill. They are the leading industries. Not far away is another mill operation carried on by the Vanarsdol out but It ls ln many fields so short that It will be difficult to harvest. However, there is no real sign of depression anywhere I have been so far but considerable murmuring ls heard and the outlook is not as bright as it might be. However, this is ahead of my story and does not apply to Terrace where there was a nice rain last week which Is keeping the crops growing. Up to the time of writing no word had been received or any move made to work the Omlneca Gold Quartz mine at the Dardanelles on Copper River but it is expected that since the Cariboo Hudson has been a success under Fred Wells, the next move will be to operate the Copper River property. So far Mr. Wells has been successful and it ls expected he will make a success of the Omineca Gold Quartz. Tommy Turner, not young Tommy or Tommy Junior, but Tommy Turner Sr., ls still actively working at the Zymoetz group of mining claims on Copper River.

The oldest pioneer of the Bulkley Valley passed away here on Sunday when Harry Davis of Houston died in the Smlthers Hospital. Mr. Davis first came Into the district ln the early nineties and, along with a partner named Lyman; he staked a lot of coal land along the Telkwa River near Telk-wa In the name of the Cassiar Coal Co. They built one of the first buildings in the Bulkley Valley near Telkwa on what was then known as "the Lyman-Davis flats" at the Junction of the Telkwa and the Bulkley Rivers. In 1899 Mr. Davis located permanently. He then took up land and had been a resident of the val ley ever since that time, having for the past number of years resided on his farm near Houston. Deceased was well known by all the old timers of the district arid was a very progressive and public I spirited citizen. With a couple of 1 other men, all bachelors, they built' the first school at Houston and donated the building and land to the school district without charge.1 many years ago. He came to the district from Al- dergrove and, when the first community was formed near Telkwa. he named it Aldermere. This was the well known village of the early days built on the high flat back of where Telkwa now stands. The original high road went through Aldermere and it was well equipped with hotel, stores, etc, and was a regular stopping place on the old tote road of the railroad building days. There is no sign of a building left in that location now to denote the thriving little town which was named by Harry Davis. The deceased was a bachelor and was abqut 87 years of age. There are no knpwn relatives. stiffness: PI.MT ( Mlmrd't wall fiibMd in itti ru fibl.
