Topic of Discussion in the
House Yesterday

 

(Special to The Daily News.)

Ottawa, Jan. 29—The session
of the House today was a com-
paratively short one. It was tak-
en jargely with a discussion of
Imperial naturalization, which
at the present time is considered

to be in a most confused state.
Hon. C. J. Doherty, Minister of
Justice, explained the nature of

the bill now before the Imperial
House making citizenship ac.
ceptable in all parts of the 2m-
pire.

PRINCE RUPERT RANKS
AMONG LARGE CENTRES

Leading National Weekly of Can-
and Classes it Familiarly
With Vancouver, Vic-

 

 

 

toria, Etc.
It is pleasing to note in an
editorial in this issue clipped
from Canadian CGollier’s that

 

Prince Rupert is familiarly pla-
ced alongside of Winnipeg, Van-
couver, Victoria, Calgary and
Edmonton as one of the finan-
cial centres of Western Canada.
That it is destined to be such in
the very near future there is ab-
solutely no doubt. The cireum-
stances and conditions that must
eventually elevate Prince Rupert
to such a high rank in the world
of commerce and , finance are
well known to all who have giv-
en the matter the most casual
thought. Nevertheless one must
be particularly pleased to see
that the city, thus early in its
career, is already being coupled
with the leading cities of the
west in the minds and writings
of eastern journalists.

Citizens of Prince Rupert must
not forget the responsibility
which such a reputation far
afield entails upon them. They
must sO manipulate the resour-
ces of the country and the op.
portunities that are thrust upon
them as will bring the greatest
possible good to this promising
city and make it merit the clas.
sification with which it is al.
ready honored,
