McKenzie of Hazelrton, who returned .recently from six months spent in the north of England and In Scotland, says there appears W be a lot of ex aggeration spread concerning economic affairs overseas. Everything essential to maintaining a standard of living Is available although there may be scarcity in certain lines of luxury. The best way to aid Britain, Just now she said. Is to pur chase more British made goods. -4 MORE SOLDIERS IN HOSPITALS OTTAWA Authorities have disclosed that, although tfce number of patients being treated ln army horpltals has Increased about 7 percent In the past few weeks, there has been a marked reduction in the number of sold lers being treated ln other than army hdaJItals. As a result of the transfers, the average dally bed occupancy ln army hospitals has Jumped from 250 to 300. Reminiscences By w.J. Reflections Gerry McGecr spent a few diverting hours on the Capitol 1 Theatre stage years ago, ad dressing an audience that crowded the house and overflowed into the street. He was talking politics and campaign support, Just then, was needed. Down front sat a couple of heck-leris obviously there for that purpose exclusively. But, they couldn't have known their pugnacious Irish-Canadian. Back he came, time and again, like the snap of a whip, and sharp enough to sting. The hecklers were effectively squashed by the quick grinning senator-mayor. Bringing the outside public to realize you can motor to or from Prince Rupert over a first rate highway demands unlimited patience and persistence. It's always been like that. To really put over anything favorable to this city, although a thousand times true, has always been difficult enough. Getting It through thc head cf a somebody living elseT1y;re in Canada would almost seem to require a surgical operation. Once, not so many years ago, an Interview appeared ln an eastern paper wherein the dear lady vowed she had to walk from the ship over the ice, to reach the city. And even that whopper lingered. It's getting around to the sea son when the hardy frontiers men of the region of Kaien used to 'take counsel together and ponder details concerning the annual fair. For thc yearly exhibition helped a lot ln stimu lating city and. district develop ment. In some ways, the results were astonishing.

Prince Rupert has had a vis itor for the past few days Harry Dixon of Seattle who lived here back ln 1909-10, and then left to remain until the present. He says he owned the first horse ever seen here. It Is a fact that away back before the coming of the railway, as well as after, horse drawn rigs had a good, deal to do with transportation. But that day has gone. Plenty of youngsters, born and reared here, have yet to behold any livestock, unless you classify the darling doggies which run ln packs during day, and sing duetj ln the gloaimlng and through the night to say nothing of the nocturnally roving and yowling felines. Whales are seldom seen today in the harbor of Prince R"upert, yet there waj a time when the sight of one was never reckoned unusual by any means. -The lus'y visitors, out rustling food like everything ete? ln nature were liable to go anywhere so long aa they could float. When early townsite engineers reported whales cruising and spouting In the terminal port of the new transcontinental railway, the press of Canada played It up. Here was news, fresh and far away, with a sort of bizarre twist to it. And probably it was. Skeena Is full of men no longer younger who have forgotten more sirange and true stories than most of us can even fancy. Such yarns would look well ln print but it Is more than probable they will remain untold. Only ln a country such as Bri tish Columbia could they occur. But the trouble Is that those who could tell them rarely, if ever, look at the situation in that light.
