Many defend their action on here than can be secured, in the the ground that prices are higher larger departmental stores. In a few scattered instances there may be some truth in this but it is not sufficient reason for sending money away from the city when it can be spent here. Without the merchant and business man, who are paying high rents for property, what would happen to real estate values in this city out of which a large percentage of the people have been and are still making their money? By assisting the local merchants the citizens will be actually putting money into their own pockets. Another excuse that is put up by some for their action is that they cannot secure in Prince Rupert the class of goods they want. In some cases this may be true, to let the departmental stores in fits which rightly belong to the willing to order from the wholesaler or thing in the line of merchandise desire. but again it is quite unnecessary the larger cities absorb the pro- local merchant——who is only too the manufacturer any- that the most exacting buyer may Under present conditions the habit of sending money to the departmental stores is a pernicious one that works to the disad- vantage not only of the local merchant, but of the city generally. Shouting one’s head off about the great future of Prince Rupert wunds very well of course, but the best way in which you can dow your loyalty to the city is to spend with the local merchant wery dollar that has to be spent for merchandise. While the “News” deplores the fact that so much money is unnecessarily sent out of the city, is it not true that most of the merchants themselves are partly responsible and are in this very connection open to the same charges of disloyalty to the city as are the citizens who send their money away? The depart.nental stores who are getting the money do not hesitate to spend thousands of dollars annually in newspaper advertising. They use cvery possible means of letting the public know all about their goods and their special bargains. The reach daily every home in the Prince Rupert newspapers, which city, convey very little informa- tion as a rule in regard to the offerings of the local merchants. The latter say that conditions are such that they cannot afford to advertise, but this answer is just as weak as that of the citizen who says he must take advantage of the bargains offered by the departmental stores. The merchants of the city have a respon- siblity to the newspapers which they should shoulder just as cheeerfully and as willingly as the citizen should shoulder his to the merchant. .It is an admitted fact that the best advertisement any city can have is a well conducted newspaper and no newspaper can exist on its circulation alone advertising patronage from the itis published. . it is justly entitled to a liberal merchants of the city in which Prince Rupert for the present is a somewhat isolated city that for a few years at least must be seif supporting. Let us be loyal therefore. Citizens, patronize your home merchants! Mer- chants, contribute to the support of your best newspapers! “BELLE OF ARCADIA” PROVES A SUCCESS Attractive Songs and Good Fun In Bright Show at the West- holme Last Wight. rhe Belle of Areadia,”’ pre- by the Frank Rich Com v it the Westholme Opera yesterday evening, proved \ ymaker of good order Kdith Wilm played the leading well, as Gwendolyn Giltax, le Belle of Areadia, a lady with ‘i eye for the main ehance and a that throbbed for her pocket-books.

Mr, Braun had a large fleld of alfalfa stand- ing at this height, which had been planted last fall. He had, too, abundance of fine clover. Mr. Braun is something of an experimentalist and has planted seven different kinds of potatoes.
