If conditions are favorable oh the arrival of the Thiepval, the reception to the airmen should be an imposing one. Doubtless boat owners and citizens generally will see that it is worthy of the occasion. Had the airman arrived in his own plane the welcome would have been enthusiastic but would necessarily have bad to be curtailed as the airmen would have had to save themselves for their work. Now that they are not flying they will' be equally welcome and they may take part in the festivities without stint. Given proper weather conditions the reception on Saturday should prove one of the outstanding events in the history of the city. American Flight To Be Continued. Those who have followed the flight of Hie American airmen hope that they are successful in making the round the world flight. When they were here the men impressed everybody with their keenness and also with their lack of anything of the nature of spread-eagleism. They were men who had set out to do a job and they were doing it to the best of their ability. Their decision to continue the flight will please all who have taken an interest in them and their object. Decision To Oddosc Oliver. It was expected by some people, that when it was decided that John Oliver should be given a scat in the Legislature he mitrhl life allowed to take that seat without opposition. Appar ently, however, the opposition party in the Legislature is out for blood and .they .will do all they can to defeat the premier. They, II f!

If thftv had decided otherwise, the Conservative leaders wtiolil have had the backing of the mass of the people, but ap nnrpnUv lhfv have their own ideas of the political game. That Premier Oliver will be returned is almost certain and the gov ernment of the country will go on as usual. I he labor mem thf House mitrht nossiblv have lined up behind some Conservative leaders but they could not line up behind R. H Pooley, Will Bring Money To Prince RuDert. The salmon fisheries have been a great success this year and the result will be the release- of a lot of money in wages which will benefit Prince Rupert. Already shipments of cased ponds are being made to the markets of the world in small quantities. The bulk will follow soon after the active fishing spasnn is over. It seems rather odd to the casual observer why the owners nf Tanneries cannot get together and save themselves money by shinnine the nroduct direct from Prince Rupert. They can save considerable by doing this and yet they have not so far taken advantage of this port. , The cannerv owners are usually looked upon as keen bust nessmen. Thev usually watch their own interests closely, ye here is a chance to save a large sum each year yet they have not ndonted it If. the fish is assembled in Prince Rupert, plenty o vessels will be glad to come, for it and carry it to Europe at the same price charged from Vancouver. Yet tne canners preier to go on paying freight to Vancouver when they could save consjd erable by shipping from here. Now that there is a big catch, the value of this port to them is increased if they wilt only take advantage of it. The incident illustrates the wonderful quality of British Col ombia's timber stand. Only the jDougla9 fir area of the Pacific Ma9i couiu iiu an oruer for timbers of such strength, size and soundness. Costly Equipment At the same time, only the costly modern equipment install ed by the loggers will enable the logs for this order to be yarded and transported from the woods, Costly Industrial Machinery Will and only the up-lo.the-minutc Enable Filling of Outstanding Specification Recently an official represent- machinery of the manufacturer will permit their sawing and squaring to the required dimen sion. Millions upon millions of dot ing me uoiiiimoii uovernmeni inpa hnvn hnan anh , came to British Columbia with an order in his pocket for 125 pieces of squared limber of unique strength and record dimension, to fill an extraordinary engineering specification. To give some, idea of the size of these timbers the total board measurement of the 125 pieces approaches one million feet. They must also be without defect. A search, pf .their limits for trees to produce these huge sticks will be mhde by prominent D.C. logging firms, and there is no doubt but that the "goods" will b found, and delivered. mcnt necessary to handle the bar- vesting of D.C.'s limber crop and millions m'ore in the machinery for Us conversion into finished timber. Hut for this lnr dust rial, investment, not only the official from. Ottawa, but the buyers of Hie world, would ask in vain for the delivery of the big timbers from British Columbia's forests. This series of articles communicated by the Timber Industries Council of British Columbia. CLOSE STREETS OR SPEND CASH Number of Plank Roadways are Not Safe but Would Cost Lot to Rebuild The city council js up against Hie necessity of voting considerable more money to the Hoard of Works for plank road repairs or closing up many such streets as unsafe for trallic. The Hoard of Works haying come to the realization that the estimates for the year will he exceeded if repairs to plank streets are continued as they have been going, the matter was placed before- the council at last night's meeting for decision as to what is to be done. The majority of the aldermen in the course of discussion at some length expressing unwillingness to close up streets if it could possibly be avoided, it was decided to refer the whole question to the Hoard of Works and Finance committee for report with a view to finding some solution of the problem for the remainder of the year. City Engineer Pearson, who was present at the meeting, told the council that the estimates of the year would be exceeded unless some streets were closed. He felt that it was up to the council to decide which streets should be closed. Practically alt the plank roads in the city were in a dangerous condition and one street was as bad as another. It was not a question of taking out and replacing, single joists but whole sections. Aid. Collart wa9 of the opinion that the program of grading as sel for the year had not been carried out with the speed that t might have been. He con sidered it waste of money to spend money this year on repairs to plank roadways that would be torn out next year when grad ing was started. Defends Department Aid. Perry defended his de partment and stated that work had been done as rapidly as pos-; suite with the equipment at hand He thought Aid. Collart's critic sm was unfair-and , without sutll- cienl grounds. Aid. Macdonald pointed out that hardship would be worked in closing'up the streets at this lime of the year. He would like to see a more detailed report presented as to what streets it might be necessary to close. He complimented the Board of Works on the manner in which il had carried out its program this year. If such a system had been adopted years ago, thou sands of dollars would have been saved and the city would not bo up against the problem it was. to. day. Aid. Perry referred to the diffi culties attending the making of pstimatcs for plank road work at the first of the year. It had beon necessary to use more lumber than was expected. He did not like the idea of closing the streets and would be more satis fied if further money could be provided to keep them open. Keep Streets Open JdsfcAIp.Mqrdie did not want to see streets closed where there were a number of houses. Tb sum of $i,000 'or $5,000 addi tional might meet the situatio and he would like lo see it pro viueti. ne UKI not think any criticism was due lo Hoard of Works or city engineer. It had been impossible to foresee that the streets would break down a rapidly as they had Aid. Casey also opposed clos ing streets if it were possible at all to keep them open. He sug gesled that some of the plank roads might bo lowered. I.umbe would thus bo saved and tin necessary building up would be avoided Aid. Macdonald moved, second ed by Aid. Clapp, that the Hoard of Works and finance committee meet with a view lo reaching solution ot the problem for th remainder of the year and brin in a report to the council. Thi was carried. POLITICS AS PERFORMED "Would you advise mo to go Into politics?" "Yes," answered Senator Sorg hum. "Every man and woma ought lo be in politics. Only we need more people, who will study how they ought to vote Instead of how they can get voted for." Advertise in the Dally News. the daily nfavs Titesda.v August i (n2j . ? f .

That seems to be worrying the editor of the Sun some, and lie wants the whole country side around Vancouver tb let Premier King know it, when he arrives on the coust 'shortly. He also seems to think that Sir Henry Thornton should take some olher fellows advice about where the railroud should go, especially the editor of the Sun, but I believe Sir Henry is from Missouri.

The worst Editor Daily News: Few people are aware how nearly the beauly of Prince Rupert's popular beach at the Salt Lakes came to being ruined forever. On Thursday last the cabin of Syd. Thomson caught fire and the blaze spread to the adjoining timber. After the long spell of dry weather brush and timber were highly inflammable. A forest fire that might have re duced the comforting green limber to a sightless mjiss of charred stumps was averted by the limply action of some Prince Rupert lads. Jumping in with enthusl asm they fought the fire to a finish and completely extinguish ed it. Such-'pubiie spirited action is worthy of the highest commendation and when the people of Prince. Rupert enjoy the shade of the trees at the Salt Lakes they should rem'ember with gratitude Alan Quinn, Howard Quinn, Aleo Duncan, Henry Walker and Ihose others who saved this for them. The story has another side, however. Mr. Thomson was ah sent in Anyox, nut somrone s carelessness cost him his sum mer home and threatened to destroy the forest. Fire Is a deadly enemy in a wooded country and only scrupulous care in handling it can save our forests. OBSERVER. CONTRIBUTION FOR DAVIS CAMPAIGN ASHURY PARK, N.J., Aug. 12. A recent announcempnt that John W.Davis, Democratic presidential nominee, had received a campaign contribution of a dimo from a local 12-year-old boy has developed the fact that the "boy", Harold Speer, is 35 years old and weighs 260 pounds in his bathing suit.

Wellington, n.C. August 8, 1924. Enclosed you will find an edi torial from the Vancouver Daily Sun of; August 6, granting about I'rlnce Rupert, and. Victoria getting a dry dock each. Hut so long as Vancouver, gets millions for dry docks, elevators and Dallantyno piers everything is all right with the Sun. No one objects to that, but why should the Editor of the Sun rant so much about other cities gelling n little lo help them along, anil in the long run it will help Vnncouvcr. It looks very much as though he was getting alarmed about some oilier sea port corning to the front very shortly nnd that port is surely Prince Hupert. He is yet lo come for the Sun. There sure will be very shortly a fast line of steamers placed on the run between Prince Ru-pert and the Orient to carry mails, silks, leas, etc., and why not? II was promised by the olllcials of the O.T.P. at the sale of lots in May 190!) in Vancouver, H.C, and Vancouver also wants the Canadian National to live up to the agreement it had with the railroad and Prince Rupert should have the same right lo get her agreements fulfilled. Let (lie line o'f least resist ance win, and that looks like Prince Hupert is the best bet. WM. HKV Kill DOE, Wellington, H.C.
