Stork's View Fred. ,lrtrk interpreted the feelinsr of' the meeting as favoring Ihe removal of Ibe 2c larifT rather than the closing of Ibe port which should be an action taken only as a la-l resorl. Hon. Erne I lapoinle and Hon. Jacques I! urea u had Jteen here and leirned the situation. President Harding's visit to Alaska might Tom Mackenzie suggested the clapping of a 3c or 4c lax on American boats which landed fish here but outfitted at Kelchi-kan. M. P JtcCatTery wondered hot Ihe FoNlney Urin wa o m changed. Unrestricted Reciprocity . Fred fstork agreed that the larifT was Ihe issue and referred to Ibe offer of Hon. V. S. Field ing, minister of finance, o re a! o bring about some changes move the Canadian 1c lariff if through Mr. Hoover who had ac companied, biiii. The viewpoint of Ketchikan he look il was not the viewpoint of Alaska as a whole. An effort was being made in abrogate the Jones' Ttill which was detrimental f Prince Huperl. In deciding to cb)s Atlantic iorl, Canada was forcing Ihe issue, Mr. tSork said. Re fell sure that results would follow that action and he counselled that no action be taken on Ihe local situation unlil i! the United Ptales wiped out their 2c duty and bring about unrestricted reciprocity with United stales in Ihe fisheries. Charles Wallace referred to the fact that Canada had put on the 1c. lariff first eight years ago. If Ihe port were closed to American fishermen. I hey would be unable In market fresh fish for Ihree months during the summer. That would remedy the situation. Robert Hanna counselled the was seen- what 'those results waiting for a result of Hon.

Hen elf said hi business bad Ieen cut in half since (he 2c American larifT had toen out on a year ago. Merchants here were dead, he said. Prices i were bcin? asked bere lhat were being akcd in Kelcbfkan. (not If other businessmen would do i he same, he wa willing to cut hi- profits in half to meet the situation. Varied Opinion Mr. Hitcbie, an owner, fell lhat the port should be cloed like was being done in the Fast. Have Mitlen said that might le alt right Ir Ibe owners but il would deprive employed fishermen of a living. Capt. Morrison wa against closing the port. A 2c tonnage lax on American boat seemed lo him more feasible. Fred Stork said the tonnage lax had been under adviement but he did not know' whether ii was favored by the department or not. Harry Rochester thought matters ousrhl lo he brought to a showdown thou-h it might be wie to wail a little longer tie- fore urging Ihe closing of the port. W. Shrubsall said the 1c Can adian tariff had started the whole thing. He would be nrr lo see Ihe jort closed and would like lo see bow matters worked out on I lie Atlantic roast. J. Coombs wanted the mayor to call a meeting of business. men to ascertain where they sioid on .-the mailer. There were 10 fishermen at this meeting and he wondered how many bus- nes.men there were. While a Canadian fisherman erliap had 2,000 at slake in a home merchants, had t0,o0rt or S0.- 000 at slake in stores and locks. Refer to CommlUoes Aid. Macdonald thoiijrbt their would be better results rom the matter being taken up by the fisheries committees of the Hoard of Trade and city council with a fishermen's committee than there would be from pas. ing a resolution at this meeting. Ahl. Collar! agreed with Aid. Macdonald. TImuzIi some faor- ed closing the port and others did not, no reasons had been given for the attitudes taken. Ilavid Thomson thought all Ihe husine.ss men should be present for il involved them as much as the fishermen per haps more so. Working on It Year M. P. MrCaffery wondered nhal committees could do. The Hoard of Trade committee bail been working on tlu? mailer foi Ihe iasf year ami bad ent a doleuaiion to Ottawa. Air. Stork and the federal ministers, were also doing all in their iorer. Nothing could be -done by meet ings such as these and be moved an adjournment, V. I.ane seconding. Aid. Macdonald said he had much confidence In Mr. Stork- but he believed be would welcome the advice and assistance of a committee. W. 11. Montgomery felt thai Canada should fight back with UnilM Slafex- weapon. The choice was have Canadian filermen die nut by inches or make we pallanl land with surce as the reward. A tonnage lux might bring about the desire! efferl and closing of Ihe port should only, be a last re sort. It was a fight for life of Prince Runcrt and: the citizens should tU all in .their power o protect Canadian fishermen. H, M. Newell saw no way out hul by closing Ibe port Jo Amer ican fishermen. He did not think il would harm Canadian fishermen. Harry l.ear was in favor of closing Jbe port to American fishermen. Such action would increase the population of the city. Prince Rupert was the finest fishintr port on the Pacific Coast, If it were closed to American fishermen they would have to come here and build their boats in order lo use it.

The question is real. It came to the Hurlbut factory in a mother's letter a mother who caught the viewpoint of the child ana gratified the longing in a little heart. There is pride in children as well as in grown-ups, and the possession of anything which even among children is recognized as the high standard in its class adds to the satisfaction and happiness of the owner. With Hurlbut shoes, there is reason for that pride. They are standards of excellence in children's footwear. In their possession, both mother and child take lasting satisfaction. We know that many little hearts will be gladdened at Christmas when the well known Hurlbut or Pussyfoot box is opened among the many bounties which Santa Claus provides. They are appropriate and certain to be appreciated. TRADE MARK REOISTERCD CUSHllOfM SOLE NUnulxlyrrd only by Th HURLBUT CO. Limited. Pretto.
