One of the industries that has helped Prince Rupert during the summer has been the pole cutting which has been carried on and fostered by the Hanson Company, particulars of the activities of which are related on another page. It has given employment to a great many people and enabled settlers to earn a few dollars Willi which llnjy might improve their farms. If this business is continued, it will enable the coast islands to be developed to some extent and will also' bring business to this city. Small Industries Grow To Big Ones. Small industries often grow to big ones. That is the chief reason why Prince Rupert people should be keen to see small industries started in and around the city and should aim to help make it profitable. Just now there is room for majiy industries' and these might be operated to the benefit of the owners of the industry and the city, . The difficulty here in the past has been that as soon as anything got going, people began to put spokes in the wheel. That was very clearly illustrated in the Prince Rupert milL While it was running there was an everlasting snarling going on that the; were getting their power too cheap or that the wages they paid were not high enough or ome other kick. Now we should all like lo see the mill running and would put up with even a loss oil power if we could have the industry in the city. ' Should Be Shingle And v ' Lumber Mill Here. There should be a shingle and lumber mill in this city. Cedar is taken to Ocean Falls from the islands and made into pulp even though the Ocean Falls mill does not want iL In and around this city cedar can lm secured for bolts and it would seem as if a, shingle mill would be a profitable venture. Ho it is with a lumber mill. If a mill can be operated in the country where supplies have to be hauled in and the lumber hauled out ami bandied twice, it surely ought lo be profitable at the terminal point where all extra charges are eliminated. This is the logical point for industries. Here is where they should be established. The only drawback is' the lack of power but even that might be overcome. Defense Day In United States. ' The annual defence day in the United States was participated in by approximately sixteen million people, according to reports receive! from Washington. The people throughout the country took part and even in Alaska there was n response from the people. Juneau and Ketchikan did their parts holding meetings and enrolling for defense.

ON A SOUND BUSINESS BASIS - BRITISH COLUMBIA PUBLIC SHOULD NOT DEPART FROM EQUITABLE METHODS A Third of the Province's Annual Revenue In the Balance In dealing with ils business-mem the public of Hritish Colum. bia should be guided by business principles. The public's equity in the for est wealth of this Province is fully recognized by the lumber men. This is proved by the fact during the last 20 years the peo pie have collected $15,000,000 from the timber holders and in dustry In rents ami royalties. Hy collecting one-third of their tolal annual revenue from the lumber industries the Hritish Columbia public are certainly do ing a good stroke of business. There is no more satisfactory type of capitalist lo attract lo a young country like Hritish Col umbia than (he man who is pre pared to invest money in the de velopmenl of its natural "re sources. The public has again shown its business acumen by pledging its good faith to a group of the most solid and patient limber investors in existence. pVesent position is that Ihe lumber industry is taxed to the uttermost, and that any fur Iher impost will undoubtedly force it into bankruptcy. Also Ihe investors in our timber are becoming very nervous indeed at the prospect of heavier levies. If Ihe puMic. of Hritish. Colum bia wis)j lq-sick jo( sound busi mw 'principle. they will avoid overtaxing their basic industry and disillusioning their invest ors. A third of Ihe public's income is dependent on Ihe ability of ils representatives lo handle satis factorily the present taxation situation in the lumber industry.

BRULE CUTOFF Says Agitation Favor of It Is In. spired vby Owners of Coal Property NOT SERVE PEACE RIVER Declares Oliver Wants It to Connect with P.Q.E.: Brule vs. B.C. , A Vancouver paper is making a strong campaign in favor of the "Hrule cutoff a proposed line of railway to connect the (irand Prairie country in Alberta with the Canadian National line at Hrule says the Vancouver Sun in a front page editorial. There is a story behind this campaign. the Hrule culoir worth! serve only a strictly limited locality. The country it would traverse is so dillletilt that it would be extremely expensive to construct.

(Hands of Coal Owners On the proposed Hrulo line are certain coal measures, owned by certain people. These, measures must conlinue inaccessible anil valueless until a line is built to them. The country is dilllcull, and the line would be cosily. The owners do not want to charge themselves with the expense. For a long time they have carried on an active lobby at Ottawa to gel the public to m-ovido Iheir road; and the hardships of Ihe poor farmers of Grande Prairie have formed the whip they have been using.

Ihe party of Dr. Pun Ynl-sen, president of the south China republic, took ad. vantage of the recejit strike of house boys at Sliameen, the for-elgn settlement of Canton, to reiterate the parly's pro-foreign policy. In a statement given oul oy I)r. C. C. Wu, son of the late Wti Ting-fang, one timn minister lo Washington, the Kunmintangi refuses to entertain an alleged j proposal of certain Shanghai : members of the parly lo rescind the party's order refraining from j anti-foreignism. j A new and stronger order was! in fact issued. .This reads: "It is' the duly of this parly lo make I China a really independent, anjl'j .sovereign state on. the; basis of Ihe. party'H three principles. It rVgarifs all harrow and violent anti-foreign sentiments as harmful lo society and the world at large, and detrimental lo the compleje independence and cquallly of the Chjnese state nnd rnce. For this reason Ihe party has always strongly exerted itself liisuppressing such tendencies.
