(Special Correspondence) Kitsumkalum, July 4.—The long talked of ‘Farmers’ Institute’’ was inaugurated in the church hall at this place Friday evening, June 30, 1911. Fair weather and a large turnout of the settlers put the new instutite on a good footing to start with. Objects of Society The meeting was called to order by the Rev, Thomas Marsh as chairman. Mr. Wishart, secretary pro tem, read the certificate of incorporation, which is issued from the Department of Agriculture. embraced by the Kitsumkalum Farmers’ Institute, the boundaries of which take all territory tribu- tory to the Skeena River and lying between Lorne Creek and Lakelse River including the Kit- sumkalum and Lakelse valleys. He explained a few of the many advantages derived and concluded by congratulating the settlers in having an institution of such a beneficial nature in their midst. Officers Elected Election of officers for the en- suing year was then proceeded with.

The Land Within the Reserve In deciding as to what land to include in the reserve the chief “Ts it suitable for farming?” If it is, the rule has been to leave it out; if not so suitable, to include it on the reserve. The altitude, or height above sea-level, has also been an important consideration. Throughout all the territory reported on game was plentiful. Special mention is made of the bull, cut-throat and grey trout, among the fish, and, among the birds and animals, in their res- pective districts, duck, grouse and prairie chicken, deer, moose, elk and sheep and many kinds of fur bearing animals. Among the mineral resources of the areas are the coal beds, oil-fields (in the south) and quarries of building stone, ballot which passed off very smooth were very vice president, by acclamation.
