The public of Prince Rupert interest the on his will await with report of Mr. Burns findings in the present investi- gation into the cost of coal With the wide and intimate knowledge of the coal business throughout the province which he must inevitably acquire through his investigations, Mr. Burns should be able to view the situation more clearly and dispassionately and to see both ite sides in a truer light than the ordinary consumer, middle- man or producer. He should be able to make a just allow- ance for the cost of the pro- duction of coal, and of its transportation, customs dues, wharfage dues, loss through screening, expense of cartage and ithe like, whiie allewing a fair profit to the merchants on their investments and a due reward for their labors. He will then be able to judge, as the man in the street cannot judge, whether or not the charge to the consumer is un- reasonably high. His pronouncement upon the discrepancies in the prices for coal charged by different deal- ers will be awaited here with keen attention. As a special- ist in this matter, Mr. Burns may be able to see a reason for ‘this to which most of us are blind. Or he may find that the customary charge of eleven dollars a ion is excessive, per- haps to the extent of one dollar or one dollar and ao a half per Friday, July 44, 1913. ton. This last would appear to be a not unlikely finding, judging from the evidence given. Whatever mention he makes of the condition. of the coal market in this city, Mr. Burns will hardly pass lightly over the question of wharfage fa- cilities. The majority of the witnesses spoke strongly of the inconvenience and expense incurred owing to the present lack of sufficient wharfage space and of facilities for handling the coal. This unfortunate condition of affairs is not by any means wholly blameable upon the Grand Trunk Pacific, but is chiefly due to the Provincial government’s attempt te grab the foreshore rights from the Dominion. It is possible that the Grand Trunk Pacific, find- ing that the foreshore rights which it had acquired, with the waterfront, from the Provin- cial government were of doubt- ful validity, might have come to some arrangement with the Ottawa authorities. But there could have been no trouble of the sort if Mr. Bowser and his friends had not asserted the claims of the province to prop- erty over which it had no con- trol. If the investigation of Commissioner Burns is to have any effect the Provincial gov- ernment should renounce its claims to foreshore rights. It might then be possible for further wharf construction to be undertaken and the present congestion would be relieved.

Third Avenue Prince Rupert It is strangely the conventional thing, made by Canadians in the United States and by citizens of the United States. in Canada to give when formal speeches are assurances that there is no ne- cessity for a union of the two countries. That is unquestion- tionably true; so true, in fact, that there is not the slightest necessity for ever considering the possibility, and even less of necessity for talking about it. Why protest so much? There is no more desire on the part of the people of the United States to annex Canada than there is to annex Kamchatka or Timbuctoo. The United States is not loking for territory. It has no cause to look for territory. The Philippine Islands’ were wished on to us, and if not a lia- bility, they are at least a respon- sibility. Certainly they are not an asset. Nations seek more territory to get relief from a crowded popu- lation. Japan needs additional territory, and other nations more or less in the same predicament may look with longing eyes for a place in which to grow, but not the United States, With the United States the condition is just reversed. We want develop- ment and not expansion. Canada is open to any citizen of the United States, and the United States is open to any citi- zen of Canada. They may come and go, and, except for the cus- toms officers, not know they are moving from one government to the other. Every fact and com- mon sensé preclude the possibil- ity of any attempt at union. Then why make it a matter for AS LONG AS YOUVa> GVEN Mi THE Sos 8055 - & WhouGHiT x SETTER.

Let us drop the subject of annexa- tion, which was never more than a political scarecrow, and get along as we have been, good neighbors and good friends, whose friendship and intentions require no protestations. New York Times. CLD TIMER HERE Secretary of Coal Commission Was a Pioneer. secretary which an one Mr. H. I. Glegg, the of the coal commission was sitting here yesterday, is old timer of Prince Rupert, of the city’s pioneers, in fact. He came here in June, 1908, and stayed until October, during which time he had a_ lumber yard in front of the present Pre- mier Hotel. Before coming here Mr. Clegg had been for eleven years in the Yukon, being one of the true “sourdoughs” who went in with the great gold rush. Mr. Clegg noted many great changes in Prince Rupert since the last time he was here, in the late summer of 1912. He was pleased to see the progress of the town at whose birth he had heen present. While here he greeted a number of old friends. He went south this morning with Commissioner Burns.
