Kvfjrj editor receives a mass of nfcws daily and what actually ;tppeurs iir Hit; wpT is perhaps not leu per cent of what h- has ;it his dispjisid. tie is limiljid by pace and the time aail-iible in which to have the "news mechanically prepared for pub- liratiou. The .elecliou between the ioniaratively small and large ipiaiililies of, matter, that are to go respectively in to the columns of the paper or the vqte basket constitutes a lak for I lie execution of which the editor's first requisite is a knowledge of the iridic fiilerest in the particular locality where he is located and piles, hr' irtisiness. In doing this job, the editor is more than what tha public at Jarpe often regard him a mere automaton or eiperl on Kngfih ginnimV to ascertain that everything that fwnTes liefore-him is jcorreetly spHled and gramali-cally riwl.e'ss. ?- PoDulation?

Something-New ' ' To Feature. In Prince Bupert papers for many years, fish has been featured because fishing wa the irincipa thing that w"ns going mi. ()ncevin a whjle Hie comment might be heard that the Prince jfupert papers1 were devoting "all" their sare to fish. remaps an uie comments in tins direction in an entire year wen nut as numerous, however, as Ihe complaints in. a sincle 'dav if some ,big Wishing story or even the list of fish arrivals of the day were left out. . Ilirrinp thee st few years, therefore, it was fairly olivious that fish was to be featured -in Prince Ilunert to meet with life piipufa'r newspaper reading demand. Just so was lumber, agricultural and mining news in relation lo Ihe ex tent of Uie industry in these particular lines that wns being sir' ried on. Next year Ihe Prince Mupert daily paper will probably have something pew lo feature. That will be grain shipping. We I . 1 1,. I. .11 ..1 1 i ;.. I I ...
