On the face of it, no difficulties present themselves-and the average person would say a politician has a soft. snap, but a politician eyen more than a newspaperman needs to have a skin as thick as a rhinoceros. His hack must be stiff as a rail fence and with it all lie must have a diplomatic mind .th'an can turn and twist and shear to the wind without really losing ground over the main course. Just now there is a controversy on dver the best way to gel from the Peace River to the coast. Engineers are .surveying routes and looking into locations and meanwhile politicians are moving heaven and earlh, not to aid (he project, but to get it turned so that it will suit their respective constituencies. Here in Prince Rupert we think the route to the coast should go by way of British Columbia while at Vancouver they think it should go out by Brule. None of1 the people who nre doing the talking know anything-about the respective routes. They are politicians. Judging from the map it looks as if the. route coming out somewhere between. Prince George And 'Hazelton was the best or else down the Naas River. But there) are dozens ot other things to be considered. . Prize For Those Who Howl The Loudest. The sad part about this, as with all oilier similar problems, is that the prize often goes to those who howl the loudest or who needed most and where it will best serve the interests of the railroad and the people. He will know better-lhan anyone else. If we have any arguments that we think he has not, it is for us to use them and to bring them to his attention as "forcibly as possible. Possibly some frothy ravings like that in the recent editions of the Vancouver Sun may influence the decision bill we fancy it will pot. We prefer to think that Sir Henry Thornton is too big a man to be swayed by that sort of thing. Difficulty Is With People At Ottawa. . , 'I The position at Ottawa is different. There thej!are more easily swayed by popular opinion and may listen to what is sup posed to be (Tie voice of the people but which really is the raving of the politician or the manipulated mouthing of some big interest.

We have to rely on hearsay evidence and that is often far astray from the facts. 8elfishness And Nqt Desire For Best. Unfortunately in deciding'these public questions selfishness is at the botloin of all the propaganda. We make up our minds that it should be done a certnin way and then we set out to prove it. The railway man or engineer looks at it In a different light. He secures the information' and thenjiiakes a decision based on the information at hand.

The next article of the series appears next week. FALLS RIVER AND AMATEUR FISHING (Continued from Friday) We stopped for a short time al Brown's River,' winch roars down in a magnificent fall only a few yards in from its mouth. Below the falls there is a sawmill operated by the water power, and an eighteen-year-old' boy by the name of Jim, who is employed in the mill, is building' his second nfolnr launch there. His initiative and workmanship are commendable. It was only a brief call that we made at Brown's River. The waters of the Ecslall were moving at a good pace upstream un der the influence of the tide. In its lower reaches the river must be a quarter of a mile wide', and great, bald mountains project high into the sky, where the snow never leaves their heads. We picked on Falls River as . - - the first camp site and turned in- after Ihe style of a municipal as-to the mouth of that stream pirant who puts an industrial about four o'clock m Iho after- plank in his: election platform, fishing trip.
