MRS.JRENE RUDGE DIES Was One of Best Known and Most Widely Esteemrd Women On Queen Charlotte Islands The death occurred suddenly at Queen Otorlotte City recently of Mrs. Irene Rudge. well known and highly respected northern woman. The late Mrs. Rudge was a wonderful character. She received training from Miss Margaret West of the Ridley Home and the early part of her life, particularly, wu replete with interest. Early settlers in the north, particularly those on the Queen Charlotte Islands, will be shocked to hear of death. The late Mrs. Rudge was born at Hazelton on July It 182. In the spring of 1891 she was sent to Metis lea Ua to be educatfd at Miss Margaret West's school, making the trip down the Skeena Riv er in care of the late Blahep Ridley in one of the old Hudson's Bay Co. canoes. She completed her education in 1981 and left Miss West's care for Skidegate to live with her father, the late E. C. Stevens then In charge of the Hudson's Bay post there. A littl later she came over from Port Simpson, making the trip with her brother E. C. Stevens of Skidegate. in one of the first sailing schooners built on the Queen Charlotte Islands, owned and operated by Chief Edenshaw of Mas- sett who was associated with the deceased father for many years as chief clerk of the Hudson's Bay post at Massett. In' 1903 the deceased married Walter Rudge of Massett. Rev. W. E. Colltson, who at that time was in charge of the Church of England Mission there, officiated. One year later they moved to Inverness Cannery where Fred Rudge. a brother, was n for' many years manager. Irt'-I9oe the late Mrs. Rudge and her husband moved to Queen Charlotte Islands and took up a homestead at Copper Bay, where she raised and educated most of her family. The nearest settlement was Sandsplt a dlstancs of ten miles where the children attended the church and school.

All I along the front from Edmonton to Winnipeg, in Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba, the C.N.R. and thel CPU. have built branch after branch northward ta srv nw I areas. Why has nothing of the sort been witnessed in Central and Northern British Columbia? May not the answer to this question be lound in the fact that railway construction tn the more northern parts of the prairie provinces has assumed something of the aspect of a contest between the two great railway systems, each seeking to be first in occupying desirable territory and thus pre-empting the traffic to be developed there? In i Central and Northern British Co-1 lumbla there has been no such com-1 petition in extending transporta-l tton facilities. The Canadian Pact- J flc does not enter that region at any j point. It has no railway traversing the central part of the province,! either from east to west or from south to north, which might serve : as a basis for branch lines. The Ca MUST QUIT IS VERDICT B.
