Many defend their action on

the ground that prices are higher

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

but again it is quite unnecessary
the larger cities absorb the pro-
local merchant——who is only too

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

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

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.

From this rancher he has brought
back splendid specimens of this

the activity of the Ulstermen in

number of prosecutions for sedi-

taken before long. But the gov-

this extreme although some rem-
edy for the continued state of
disorder in Ulster is imperative.
No arrests have been made as
yet, but several more caches of
arms and ammunition have been

unearthed and seized. Several
members of the Scotland Yard

For some time the city has been

it leaves in care of the bank,
