Agriculture is further handicapped by excessive freight rates which, affecting the whole district, call for immediate revision. Apart from building up jjocal business—-$7.00 per ton coal at J. Kelly of Smithers, and Chief Constable McNeill of Acting South Fort George, each of whom spare neither time pr trouble in Increasing the efficiency of their districts.

China, deprived of its interests on the Yalu, ia compelled to look to thia continent for lumber of all kindB. "While the pulp mill, referred io in my last annual report, has yet to be established, there is a general belief current that the many difficulties attendant upon the launching of so huge an undertaking have been surmounted, and that, very shortly, selves is brought to your attention." Referring to tho provincial jail at South Fort George, the report says: "The interests and safety of any increasing number of prisoners required an officer on night duty, which staff addition you were pleased to authorize. During the year Constable Avison, in charge of the lock-up, handled oue hundred and five prisoners, an excess of fifty-seven over 1920." Improvements have been made to to the f>th Telegraph cabin on the headwaters of the NaBs river, north of Hazelton, being most favorably commented upon by those competent to judge. Bringing out the body of I one, Murdock, found dead, Constable j Cline made this arduous trip with j dogs in fifteen days inclusive—a re-I cord. Later, the first B.C.P. to cover the ground for many years, this j officer visited the Omiueca. The 1 writer on two occasions went into Trembleur Lake and once to Fort McLeod. Constable Van Dyk made an extensive trip to the Finlay, Constable Carr thoroughly traversed the Eutsuk conntry south of Burns Lake, Constable Service the Salmon River, and A.C.C. McNeill, Baker Creek. The general effect of these patrols is so far-reaching that, from a police standpoint, they cannot be too highly recommended. In all, including coast escorts, the establishment patrolled approximately sixty thousand miles." During the year nine insane persons were taken to the asylum at New Westminster. Twelve reports were submitted under the Mothers' Pensions Act. In the camps through the district ninety-eight sanitary inspections were made. Sixteen coroners' inquests were attended by the police. Referring to the Government Liquor Act, the report states that in common with the former Prohibition Act, the enforcement of the present liquor law presents many difficulties, and it points out that known officers cannot hope to gain access to circles devoted to the evasion of the act. "Hazelton district continues its average number of prosecutions under the Indian Art," the report says in dealing with the Indian question. "At thia writing a wave of religious enthusiasm—ita medium the Salvation Army—ia sweeping through old Hazelton. As a result there is less drunkenness and immorality, but just how long this happy state of affairs will continue iB a question. Indians, particularly Kitikshans, are creatures of emotion who, novelty becoming worn, invariably revert to type. This was exemplified in a gedy. The situation at Kitmancul, a source of trouble for many years, appears an the verge of settlement." That there has been a decline in the opium traffic is indicated by the I report, which is attributed to an exodus of Chinese from the larger towns. There are few white addicts to the drug, it states. "Finger prints are taken as provided for in the Act, of those brought to South Fort George lock-up. The prompt service of the C.C.I.B., Ottawa, has been invaluable." the report concludes. A complete list of the police officers in the district is as follows: Hazelton district: Hazelton, Constable Cline; Smithers, Chief Constable J. Kelly, Constable W. Service; Telka, Constable A. Fairburn; Burns Lake, Constable Carr. Fort George district: Vanderhoof, Constable J. A. Williams; South Fort George, Deputy Inspector Thos. W. S. Parsons, Assistant Chief Constable A. McNeill; Constable H. Mansell, Constable H. Avison, Constable M. J. Con- j don, Constable G. H. Smith; Hutton, Constable S. Service; McBride, Constable. M. Gorman; Lucerne, Con- f stable E. J.

Conv. 127 58 18 44 57 16 3 All expenditures are included except the summoaiag and paying of witnesses to the assize court. The larger proportional expense at Smithers is accounted for by the fact that it ia a district headquarters and at South Fort George because it is divisional headquarters, undertaking maintenance of provincial jail and, assize court proceedings.
