there are about
Prince Rupert the better, and
only the narrowest of minds
will entertain such foolish no-
tions. Indeed if this city re-
fuses the company’s agreement
it is only natural that they
might turn more of their at-
tention to Port Edward than if
they were admitted to this city.
The Prince Rupert Hydro-
Electric Company are in this
district to stay. They have al-
ready a large outlay in capital,
and if. they can show that
cheaper power can be had at

little towns

Port Edward than here they

are sure to attract business

there that would otherwise
come to this town.
+o ee

We hear it said that. the

company want a monopoly

from the city. As a matter of
fact the city is offered a mon-
opoly from the company, They
are ready to give us an option

on their first 3,000 horse-
power. In this way the city
can prevent outside points

competing with us for power.
