There are things that might be done to facilitate tourist shopping. The stores might be dressed up more in keeping with the tourists' fancy and goods stocked which would particularly appeal to them. The lower prices here, and tourists are great students of prices and love to compare those they see here with' what they pay at home, should be clearly shown . The suggestion is also made that store hours might 1x3 so arranged as to. take the fullest advantage of the tourists' presence. Prince Rupert business people should consider the especial needs of the motor tourists who are I new here and whom we have not had to deal with I before. The tourist traffic is becoming heavier than it . ever was before and it has much greater possi- bilities for us to legitimately exploit. In Prince Rupert particularly it is becoming an increasingly important industry. And its importance, will increase further in volume. f. PARADOXICAL CONFLICT BACK OF THE OBVIOUS and direct aspects of traditional prejudice and hatred and the most ancient nationalistic motives, there is something . tragic about the continuing troubles stemming from the "Holy Land." There in the cradle of ; Christiantiy dating back far before the days ! of Christ, we see today a situation, filled with targedy and horror, which is one of the tensely disturbing factors in the world scene today. But, ' paradoxical as it may seem, it has often been thus - in. Palestine, Nevertheless, when there can be no peace where Christianity was born, the world outlook, indeed, must seem dim to many.

The winter had seen one of exceeding toughness. But no one was down-hearted. Only the sky was blue. There were two newspapers. Friend Aitkin ran the Phoenix and George Thompson and Charley Tryon presided over the destiny of the Capital. Each would solemnly repeat that their enterprise was by far the best of the two..

He did so, 'sprang a sur-orlse on the wife, and a killing followed. He got a Jail term and public sympathy. That was socd for a full column, at least. And every Jlne alive. It took up the forenoon slack. There was even a shipwreck In Saskatoon a couple of thousand miles from deep water. One spring morning, with freshets going strong, the small steamer City 0f Medicine Hat bound for Lake Winnipeg came sweeping around the bend, to discover the surface of the surging Saskatchewan was too close to the bottom of the Saskatoon traffic bridge. Her smokestack hit the bridge and there her voyage ended. Major Burbank, who will be remembered by many In Prince Rupert, lived In Saskatoon for some years.
