sults of the system could urge it. Railway mileages, with costs as they are today, are a very serious thing. Mr. JACOBS: What about grades? Sir IIEMIY DRAYTON': There is practically no dilference what ever in the grades. We have theoretically a A per cent grade on the Grand Trunk, and in most, instances it is more than theoretical, it is true. In some cases it is not .4. It is a good grade; there is no question about that. There is a tlrst class grade on the Grand Trunk Pacilic and also a llrst-rale grade on the line to Vancouver. The grade there is not. quite as good as the grade to Prince Rupert but it. is so good that they can run 00 cars in and out of Vancouver on the National line the whole wav to the divide. That's Different. Mr. LUCAS: In view of that excellent grade is there any rea son why there should bo a mountain freight rate? Sir HKN'IIY DRYTON: Tlio hon. member is getting into another question which would open up an entirely different debate. It has nothing to dd with the question under consideration whether it is mountain or prairie or anything else; distance means money and money in this case means extra taxation for the people. Where-over you get extra mileage you must have an extra cost and everyone knows it. On the line out from Vancouver a train of 00 cars can be carried on the National while on the Canadian Pacific they must be broken ami made up in smaller units before they can cross the divide. Now, the government might just as well understand what they are doing. If they are going to build an elevator there they must increase the terminals, and the terminals at Prince Rupert were built at great expense. I had occasion to go into the mailer in luio to ascertain what money had been spent there and it is unbelievable how much wa.s actually expended in winning a terminal from the rocks and the granite which are encountered at that point. The terminals there cost a vast sum and when you get down the hillside they must be enlarged. - When the war was on we needed, or thought we needed' at any rate, with transportation difficulties, some more wharfage accommodation.

There are beaut ifut mountains on the shore and the line of mountains is carried right into the water so that you may go out a few feel and have great difficulty in getting bottom ai any uepin, which anyone, actuated by any commercial sense, would think sufficiently reasonable to warrant the building of a dock. The government might as wll realize the situa tion. Some gentlemen opposite think that a dock is not needed, and I daresay they do not want it; I think Mfey could put the elevator well away from the dork for all tlio use that will be made of it if the railway company has the slightest opportunity of hauling the grain without the expense of the extra 20(1 miles. Now; is this a time to start this elevator? Is- there any real reason for it? Of course, boards of trade will say they want it; but, then, boards of Irade want all sorts of things all over the country. Surely, however, .this House ought to demand a belter reason than representations of boards of trade before committing itself to a policy of Ibis kind and opening up a new grain port which entails a further movement of almost 200 miles in a district which now runs at a deficit. There should be some real reason for this work apart from the unsatisfactory statement that some boards of trado asked for it.- Under present conditions, to suggest the vole is absolutely wrong, ami I must ask the minister to let us know what the real reasons are. Here we are going to spend $5,000,000 more money in Vancouver to fit it up for Hie grain trade, and the minister is right in that direction, because there is going to bo a tremendous amount, of business at that port anil it will bo a source of great relief to the prairies from freiglil rales and the long haul. Hut let me point out that there is another mileage given. As Hie hon. member (Mr. Stork) pointed out, there is some movement of grain to the Orient. II is not very big and I wish it were bigger. Hut there is that movement, and there is no doubt there is shorter by water from Prince Rupert than from Vancouver. Hut most of the grain we are shipping out of Vancouver today is going through the Panama canal and the distances from (ho western entrance of the canal to Vancouver and to Princo Rupert respectively, are 4,045 and 4,325 nautical miles, and we have to add approximately a I bird lo gel the land mileage. Graham Speaks. Mr. nrahain: .1 know my hon, friend is not very friendly lo the Prince Rupert schemo of the Clrand Trunk Pacilic, but so long as we oppose every, proposition to give the drank Trunk Pacific traffic, so long wil the Ornnd TrUnk Pacifio give us a deficit.; The firand Trunk Pacilic was not intended to be sawed off at both ends; the original- scheme was to have a line of ships connect ing at Prince Rupe'rt with the Oram! Trunk Pacilic and the Transcontinental; and although condlions have somewhat chang ed, yet the fact stands, and can not be controverted, that the route from eastern or from western Canada lo the Orient via Prince Rupert is shorter than any other route by a good many miles. If we are to export, our grain or other products by the shortest route at the lowest cost Prince Rupert must be developed ..in- i. ii i. 1 1 Blltl UIUIZI'U; lilt-re is im iueaiiuii about that.

The Gyro Club of this city is deserving of great commendation for its effort in organizing the work and collecting the money with which to equip a playground at MpClymont Park. The city fathers co-operated well and the result is that today Prince Rupert has a civic playground second to few in the province. Had it not been for the Gyros that part of the park would have remained a useless quagmire and the children would, have been without those conveniences which make for healthy play. Having the wading--pool constructed at the same place and the vyhole under supervision of a caretaker, who, it is to be presumed, will continue to work on the park and improve it, will mean a good deal. The Daily News is glad to extend to the Gyro Club, congratulations on the work they have done and wish them all success in future efforts to improve the city and especially in making it attractive for "family life. Next Big Thing Will Be The Fair. The next big thing in the city will be the annual fair which takes place in September. Already much work has been done, in connection with this and progresses being made in all directions. President Joe Greer is actively engaged in keeping the various committees working and Manager Hunter is on the job all the time. Judging from, the interest taken in the districts, the fair this year showspromise of being a very successful one. Its value to the community lies in its success in uniting the efforts of the whole northern country and concentrating them on this representative effort. In bringing this about all can help. One way in which almost everyone can be of use to the exhibition is in pulling in individual exhibits. Some have flowers, others needlework, others art work, others poultry, and there are all sorts of other exhibits that might be entered. If all take an interest in the fair and nvike it theirs it is bound to; be a mic-cess. Province Decides Against Selling Beer. The province has decided against selling beer by the glass, and it is to be presumed the government will carry out that intimation and will allow purchases to be made as at present from the government liquor stores. While the majority is not large it is sufficient to be a mandate. While present conditions in regard to the sale of liquor are not by any means ideal, they are better than they might be, and it is better to enforce a law which seems to be working well than to make changes which are more or less experimental and may have to be repealed in the near future. Elevator Vote Met Much Opposition. The-chief opposition to the elevator vote seems to have come from Sir Denry Drayton, former minister of finance in the Conservative government, who attacked it with great virulence. The rather loiig extracts published todny from Hansard show what happened. It makes interesting reading ns indicating that getting a vote through the House is not an easy matter. The member have to be convinced that the money is to be well expended and that the vote is a reasonable one. The discussion shows that Fred Stork had done some good preparatory work in en-listing the sympathies of members of the House. MUCH OPPOSITION AT OTTAWA TO PRINCE RUPERT ELEVATOR FROM CONSERVATIVE SIDE. (continued from page one) friend mentioned the British Columbia elections, We had not thought of Hie elections in con nection with Ihp elevator. Wo have tieon for three years actively engaged on this work. I have received and presented to the government resolutions from hoards of trade from all over northern Alberta and the northern part of British Columbia. We have had three non-partisan del egations consisting of men of all shades of politics down here from tha,t country to urge this project. This is not any sense of the word a political project. It is purely one of sound economies, and one which will justify itself, if this government decides to erect the elevator there and if this House is good enough to pass the vote. Drayton's Speech. Sir Henry came back in part as follows: In every instance, taking every possible combination, the milage is less to Vancouver. It is perfectly plain, when we take the tlrst question in regard to the railway mileages from Edmonton to Vancouver and Prince Huperl, that the difference is almost 200 miles. It is said, that the rail way management are hack of this. AM I can say then is that we have for the tlrst lime some tangible results from tlio efforts of Mr. Dawson,, one of the rail way directors; but no one who was thinking of the general re FLY-TOX WEEK July 21st to 26th tory which, when opened up, will be tributary lo Prince Rupert and will be many miles closer lo Prince Rupert than to Vancouver. The grain shipments from I he- Peace River country today have lo go around to Kifuionlon, which city is of course closer lo Van couver than to Prince Rupert, but when thai country is opened up, as it must be, it will be miles closer to I'riivce Rupert than to Vancouver by way of Kdmonton My hon. friend wants lo Ann out in advance. No one knows yel where the line ,will be built into the Peace River country. Hut there are portions of the western country that will be absolutely tributary to Prince Rupert if Hie grain is to be shipped to tlx Orient; there is no question about that;?- I look forward to the time when Prince Rupert will be a very busy port on the Pad fie coast.'-'wifli Irade both going to and coming from tlio Orient because when the people in the Orient find (his route opened up they will,; ship their goods by Prince Rupert.,, for it is the short er line, and we will get the haul all the way down. My hon friend made a remark which ab solutely proves -my contention respecting the superiority of Prince Rupert over most of our harbours; he gave the depth of water Other harbours have to be dredged year in and year out; Prince Rupert harbour needs practically no dredging at all, and in that respect is a cheaper harbour lo operate than any other in the Dominion While we are beginning with an ele vator in a comparatively small way, yet 1 look lo the time when, the western country develops we will not only be using Van-cauver, but also Prince Rupert for Oriental Irade Sir enry Drayton: In the first instance, whether I am against the (Jrantl Trunk Pacilic line or Prince Rupert or anything else has nothing to do with the ques lion. I have not made the slate ments that I well could make about the whole subject Mr. (iraham: And that I well could give a reply Hi. Sir Henry Drayton: I do not think you could, Mr. Graham: Quite easily. Cost of Dock. Sir Henry Drayloh: However, I should like to see if we cannot once in a while get something done by this government on its merits, and my. personal attitude can have nothing whatever to do with the question one way or tlio other; I sh6uld have thought the hon. Minister of Railways would know that. I am going lo take un his last point tlrst. He is perfectly right, lliero will be no dredging required in Prince Rupert harbour. He can go a little bit further, ho can take most harbours along the whole Pacific coast and he will have no dredging lo do. Hut he will find any number of places where ho will ho able lo build (continued on page five) LAND ACT. Notlca of Intention to Apply to Lease Land.
