McBride Residents
Discuss Local Matters With District Member
A very successful meeting was held n the Empress Theatre here on Tuesday, the 25th inst., at which an un-isually large number of people turned out to hear our local member, H. i. Perry, M.L.A. The meeting was unique in that various "townsmen and farmers spoke and laid their com-)lnints before Mr. Perry, who listened to them all and then replied, promising to do his utmost to remedy hem.
Mr, W. Hading was chairman and briefly opened tfie meeting, after which Mr. R. S. Veale laid before Mr. Perry the necessity for some government action regarding two neas of 40-acre lots of farm land ivhich the government had been hold-ng for seven years and selling to armers at $15 an acre, plus 6 per cent interest. The speaker considered that this land was not worth more nan $2.50 an acre and that the government should reduce the price considerably or settlers would not buy and here when they could go near 'rince George and buy land at $5 an acre, Mr. Munro also 9poke on he same subject.
Mr. J. Goodman brought up the juestion of government lots in the own.
Maurice O'Rourke also spoke on rnprovements necessary for the own.                                                    -
The last of the townspeople- to voice a complaint was the chairman, Mr. Hailing, who certainly raised a nomentous question when he stated that illegal selling of liquor was being carried on in McBride. What the people desired was a government vendor,
Mr. Harling's remarsk were greeted with a storm of applause by the audience, which showed conclusively that his sentiments were unanimous-y endorsed.
Mr. Perry, then speflce and took up the various questions and handled them in masterly style, promising to do his best to remedy the various complaints.
He then gave a resume of the government's activity since his first session and his eloquence held the large audience immovable for two hours.. After Mr. Perry had spoken the chnirman called for a' vote of thanks, which was moved by Mr. Wall.
Mr. W. H. Bryne, in seconding the motion, gave a brief eulogy of Mr. Perry, stating that the people had asked for things to be done and Mr. Perry had promised to try and have them done. If they were not done it would not be Mr. Perry's fault, as he was a man of undoubted integrity and had the courage of his convictions, as evidenced by the fact that he went against his own party to see that' the game laws were properly carried out.
The meeting then finished and a dance was put on which lasted until the small hours.

Thtj instruction was given by the gom-pany's first aid instructor for the St. John's Ambulance Association. The people deeply appreciated the privilege extended by the manage ment in allowing them the services of their instructor. Dr. Gray was assisted by the general secretary of the C.P.K. First Aid department, in holding examinations of the classes.
Dr. Gray expressed great satisfaction with the general knowledge displayed by the students.
Ott.iwa.—There are in Canada at least 37,000 square miles of peat bogs, with deposits from five to ten feet deep, and it is estimated that each square mile contains on an average the equivalent of -430,000 tons of coal. The Council for Scientific and Industrial Research at Ottawa after considering the problem of making Canada's fuel consumption less dependent upon the United States, induced the Dominion and Ontario Governments to appoint jointly a peat commission, which carried on extensive experimental development   work   at   the   Alfred
f)c«t bog, on the Montreal-Ottawa ine of the C.P.R. The product was sold at profitable prices in competition with coal, and it is expected that a flourishing peat industry will eventually be founded.
Winnipeg.—Western Canada recently welcomed the first contingent of its 1922 army of settlers from Europe and the United States when 350 persons—men, women and children—arrived at the Canadian Pacific and Union depots. Immigration officials state that the influx for the season definitely is "on."
All these settlers will go on the land in Manitoba and the western provinces. The new arrivals, for the most part, are family parties with effects or money, or both, and their intention is to farm on the prairies and not to migrate to the cities.
Manitoba's share of these settlers was. a farmer group of 111 persons who expect to locate on farms. Family groups composed this party ,«r most entirely. Additional parties were bound for Saskatchewan. Alberta and British Columbia.
A party of 50 immigrants. arrived from Roscoe, Minnesota, and was accompanied by 9 cars of effects. All are bound for the western provinces. Hazel Dell, Saskatchewan, was the destination of G of the cars, one went to Melrose, Saskatchewan, one to Clyde, Alberta, and one to Cudworth, Saskatchewan
Passengers from the steamship Tunisian, numbering 178, arrived in Winnipeg over the Canadian Pacific! Railway.
