DAILY EDITION 93 88 Saturday, August 30, 1924. Out Of Town . Business Is Good. Advertisers in the Daily News state that out of town business is good. There are many parts of the district where there are no local stores or where the local stores do not carry full lines of goods. People living there fihd it to theif advantage to send to Prince Rupert for goods and a large business js done here with the outlying settlements. All of these are reached by the Daily News and advertisers state that much of the value of their advertisements comes from llic? oiit of town trade. This is not in competition with the local district stores for, if the people did not buy here they would do so elsewhere. The advantage of sending to Prince, Rupert is that they deal with people they -know and now and then when they come to town can set right anything which they do not like by a personal interview. Local merchants take great care in filling out of town orders and the fact that they keep their customers is evidence of the careful maimer in which they do business. Immense Province . Here To Develop. When people talk of keeping immigrants out of British Columbia they want to have a chat with Bishop Biinoz or Archbishop l)u Vernet, both of whom have to travel hundreds of miles through fertile lands that remain as undeveloped as they Wefe hundreds of years ago. Only a few tiny acres have been used. The rest is as nature made it. The person with vision, sees that for several generations to come, at least there will be plenty of room for expansion in this province. There will be timber to cut, mines to wbrk, fish to catch and land to clear and cultivate; Also there will be water powers to harness and tourist to Carry. Only the small and sel fish person can wish to keep these thing for the few people now here. They do not belong to utf. They are a heritage for the people of the world and we simply have the temporary keeping. We have no right ten shut them off from the people of the more crowded countries who could use them to advantage. Picture Brides Japanese Institution. .Marrying by mall or choosing a bride from a picture is a Japanese institution. Some yeafs ago it was h common thing for shiploads of women to come to Victoria from Japan and from there to be distributed to points in the United Stales to the men who had either married them by mail or who were ready to marry them on arrival. Also many came that did not marry but went to the crowded centres. Niw the custom so far as Canada and the Uniled Slates is concerned is not allowed and any attempt to revive it, as mentioned in fins despatches yesterday, would hrouse. serious opposition. Progress Being Made On Kaien Island Road. Progress is being made on the slashing of the route for the road from here to Gallowav Ranids. Half the distance has al ready been covered, much of it through heavy timfier, and the work is still proceeding. The slashing will give the road a chance to begin drying out and make it easier to proceed with ..the clearing next year. It is a. big job to make a road oven for that short distance mid it is.very .satisfactory that this much is being done this year. If we can gel follow', up action, as it is confidently expected will be the case, we shall have a road out of town on which we can drive and it is possible that the lands at the back of the island will then be opened up for those who w'lsh an out of town place. Many people would like to get an acre or a half acre in the country which they Could gradually de velop with n view to eventually residing there.
