The city council is building a plank roadway on {ith ave. from Albert street to McBride, where there is not a single residence nor is there likely to be any for some time to come. This road, too, was never peti- tioned for; indeed it was forced on the property owners by the council in order to find work for a needless engineering staff. The assessment for the work amounts to $100 per lot, perhaps more than the average lot in that district is worth, The life of the plank roadway is four years, so that property owners on that street may con- sider that they have been robbed of their holdings, and yet men will say that it doesn't matter whom they elect to office. * * * * * The Synod of the Presbyter- ian Church in British Columbia met recently in Vancouver and among other things the politi- cal conditions in the province were referred to. The churches in Canada have alweys stood aloof from party polities and the following from Rev. J. 8. Henderson, secretary of the Social Service and Evanglican League highly significant. To quote the Sun: “Referring to conditions all through the province, Mr. Hen- derson declared that, political- ly, conditions were very serious and he declared that there was is a political machine in the province that was a menace to the state and that not until the machine was smashed would they have their rights. Eco- nomic conditions were not due so much to the war but to the frantic methods of financing the province in 1910-14-12. Designing individuals had been alienating the resources of the province.” * * * * * The story keeps cropping up persistently that Austria is trying to negotiate a seperate peace and thus withdraw from | the present war. It is hardly’ worthy of serious considera- tion. Austria connot make a separate peace, if for no other reason than that Germany will not let her do so. Austria is apparently doomed, whatever the outcome of the present war may be. The German states of Austria are destined to be absorbed into the German Em- pire, preserving, of course, the same degree of autonomy as the Kingdoms of Saxony, Ba- varia and Wurtemberg and the various grand duchies of the German Empire. = * * The German armies and those of Austria in the East are not merely co-operating. According to best reports, they are in many places acting to- gether under a common com- mand, generally believed to be a German command. «Ss Under conditions such as these how would it be possible for Austria to make a separate There would be no peace about it. The attempt to withdraw from the Alliance would mean war with Germany and probably would be resisted by the Geerman states of Aus- tria, whose troops in the field would remain under German command. Austria the mess to stay as long as Ger- many demands it. She has the proverbial tail-hold the bear, as difficult and dangerous to let go as to hold on. * + oe peace-? in 1s on Besides all of which Aus- tria and Turkey are slated to pay the cost of the war, should success attend the Allies. Ger- many has little fear for loss of territory should the war go against her, except, of course, Alsace and Lorraine, while Bosnia, Herzegovina and Gali- cia have already been ‘“‘earmak- ed”’ for Serbia and Russia, and the Austrian coast in the Ad- riatic for Italy. Austria may want peace and Turkey may want peace but they must wait till Germany wants peace.— Seattle P.-I. LUM tet Ave. and McBride &.

Colonel Carnegie is paying industry in which Prince Rupert and the North has both a present and future prominence in the mining industry of BritishColum- bia. He is also said to be report- ing on the possibility of war ma- terial being manufactured at cer- tain points in British Columbia. Prince Rupert has both the raw material and the facilities to offer, so it is hoped that she will receive due consideration, “Colonel David Carnegie, Victoria, B. C.: “The president and members of the Prinee Rupert Board of Trade, noting that Colonel David Car- negie and his staff are visiting the province for the purpose of in- vestigating the industrial and economic conditions of British Columbia, urgently suggest that his investigations be extended to Prince Rupert and Northern Brit- ish Columbia. “Northern British has copper and other mineral de- posits of importance. It has a smelter at Anyox, where there is ore to the value of seventy-five million dollars blocked out. It has also numerous properties in course of development, and the largest drydock on the Pacifie Coast, with facilities for the man- ufacturing of war material. “The cordial invitation of the Board of Trade extended to Colonel Carnegie and his staff, and he is urged to make a visit to Prince Rupert in the course of his where the board will Columbia is itinerary, possible to facilitate his en. quiries.

The troops return- ing to Germany are very tired of the war and are deeply depressed at not obtaining a speedy victory. The civil population of Germany believes that the war will be ended by June. The Pink of Health is every woman’s right; but mane are troubled with sallow complexions, headaches, backaches, low spirits—until they learn that sure relief may he found in Briss ing Colonel Carnegie to includ economic particular attention to the copper! industry of British Columbia, an |: have much pleasure in doing allgto God.” | |ARRIVALS BY THE PRINCE | GEORGE THIS MORNING | {mong the first-class passen- | levers arriving by the Prince George this morning were the fol- | wine; HH.

A revolver and $100 in cash were found on his person. The coroner held an inquest and it took $75 to defray the expenses and bury the dead. The police judge fined the corpse $25 for carrying concealed weap- ons and confiscated the gun. The local newspaper, which published the obituary, got nothing.—Altoo- na (Kan.) Tribune.
