These wires are like railway tracks carrying human voices at speeds up to 186,000 miles per second. Sometimes people who want telephone service can't get it because there are no spare wires available between their homes and the exchange. "But there are telephone lineg right past my house and the man next door has a telephone!" Yes, but all of those wires may be in use by other people, including the man next door, and so it may not be possible to give service to more people until more wires are in place. And these may have to be strung for miles. North-west Telephone Co. Visit Our Grocery Department For High Quality Groceries — Serve yourself or ask a clerk — FOR CHOICE MEATS See G. B. WILLIAMS Third Avenue Phone 60 Phone 45 George Street ! Young Pr. George Farmer Seeks Agricultural Award A 22-year-old farmer from Prince George will represent British Columbia in competition for the Eaton Agricultural Scholarship at the Royal Winter Fair in Toronto next month. Keith Johnson was selected by Hon. Harry Bowman, Minister of Agriculture, to make the eastern trip to compete with representatives of other provinces for the valuable award. The winner will get all college fees, lodging and boar for a four-year course at any agricultural college in Canada. Each candidates' travelling expenses to the fair and their board and lodging while in Toronto will be paid. The B.C. representative is a son of R. E. Johnson, who purchased the John Assman farm at Miuorth four years ago. He was born at Shaunavon, Sask., where he was educated and represented that district in beef cattle competitions at the Saskatoon Fair and was a member of the Shaunavon Beef Club and other young farmers' groups in that province. Since coming to this district he has been a member of the Pine-view Beef Club for two years and ook a short course in agriculture -at the University of British Columbia. Last year he represented Prince George at the beef cattle judging competitions at the Pacific National Exhibition in Vancouver and has since coached club members in judging cattle. In making his selection of a representative after a province-wide survey of likely candidates, the Agricultural Minister said he was convinced Keith Johnson would be a strong contender for Dominion honors "He has an excellent scholastic and agricultural background for a competition of this nature," Mr, Bowman said.

"The only thing that mars its beautuy is the terrible state of the roads west of here." Exemplifying the growth of the country, Mrs. Cox said that today there is a fine new modern school in Hazelton, with seven rooms and seven teachers, where not so long ago there was a one-room school and scarcely enough children to fill it. "I remember we had a hard time to get seven pupls, so that we could get a teacher." Mrs. Cox recalled. The new school houses all local chidren regardless of nationality or creed. She reported great interest and activity in mining all through the area, with such discarded properties as Rochet de Boule and Red Rose mines now taken over by Western Uranium and .expected to produce great things shortly. Mrs. Cox was grieved over the disappearance of an ancient Indian graveyard, always a top tourist attraction, at Hazelton. "The cemetery has completely gone," she said, "Even the graves of the seven old pioneers who blazed the way for the development of the North have gone, although I myself tried to preserve them by installing railing around the graves."
