The de- partment could not see its way clear to publicly insult His Ex- celleney Ear! Grey by removing lauded to the skies as the man who gets things for Skeena. How much he paid for that cheap advertising is not yet known. True he did arrange to rent all the offices required by the government from local party friends. He enabled some local politicians to build tem- porary quarters for the postof- fice at a good fat lease. He no doubt greatly assisted in that deal whereby $35,000 was muleted from the government over the postoffice site and then he says he will allow the city to build a road to Seal Cove in order that a sub-postoffice may be opened there but will some- body tell us of something that Herb did for the people to which there was not a party string attached.

Adverting to General Order No. 80a, 1914, this regiment will in future be designated the 68th Earl Grey's Own Rifles,” Canadians will be glad to learn that Earl Grey's connec- tion is still to be maintained in this way with the Domin- ion of Canada, over whose des- tinies he presided as Governor General with such success and distinction. Of course, the dis- tinguished Earl would still have been remembered in Prince Ru- pert even if the local loyalists had removed his name from the Militia List of Canada.
