It was bad enough to cut down our appropriations by one-half, but they are adding insult to injury when they go back on their estimates. The weather that Prince Rupert has been enjoying during the whole of this year is surely the envy of the whole world. There no denying the fact that the Pacific coast has its rainy season and that we have had an abnormal share of this in the past year. This year, however, seems to be duplicating 1911 and 1912, and better weather no man would ever desire. In a new country like this it takes a time to ascertain the average state of the climate, but far the average climate to equal if not surpass any- thing on the coast, which means anything the conti- nent of America. Is 80 seems on VENEFABLE MINISTER DIES VERY SUDDENLY Vancouver, April 7.-~—Rev. Dr. Peter Wright, a pioneer Presby- terian minister, died suddenly here of heart disease. He was founder of the Kitsilano church, and had been pastor at Toronto, Ingersoll, Quebee and Portage la Prairie. Wherever Dr. Wright went he was a veritable father among his people and his demise will be much regretted. While advanced in years, his spirit was full of youth, and he was a fa- vorite with old. and young. Have you a lot of your own? Secure one in Port Edward now.
