Everyone in Prince Rupert must realize the difficulty in the matter of street work with which the. city council has to deal. Most of the wooden roads were built about the same time just after the townsite was cleared and many of them were re-planked later. Now the underpinning has rotted away and they are unsafe for traffic. The city had four alternatives. One was to close the streets and leave the people without means of getting to their homes; another was to rebuild the plank roads; a third to grade the streets, and the fourth to make them semi-permanent as was done with Fifth Avenue. In most cases the city council is adopting the semi-permanent method and the results so far have been excellent. The difficulty is to cope with the whole situation. A good deal of patience will be necessary on the part of the residents in some districts where transportation is difficult. Finances as well as conveniences have to be considered and, so 'far as can be seen, the city is doing excellent work with the 'means at its command. Mistakes may be made. The wink here' is very difficult. The main .thing is that little by little the city is being given a Modern appearance with modern conveniences of transportation and that in the course of a few years we shall .have a road system that will serve us well and will present a good appearance to visitors. 4 Pleased With :Thls City. A number of visitors who have been here recently have expressed themselves as pleased with'the appearance of the citv. -They have commented on the manner in which buildings are painted, gardens kept and especially on the new roads which have been recently built. Everything looks prosperous, and that ;is a great thing. We must carefully avoid any appearance of running down At heel. Possibly the city looks better today than jit has ever Jooked before. .Citizens who are aiding in this work by putting their places in order are to be congratulated. The fexample of one person on a street is often enough to set everyone else there working. Few Shacks Should Be Pulled Down. Complaint has been made that there are a few shacks in the city that should come down. They are unpainted and lin-pleasant of appearance and not only destroy the uniformity of tthe city but also have a deteriorating effect on adjacent property. The city regulations in regard to, such property should be 'strictly enforced. It is done in other cities and should be done here. We cannot afford to have anything here that makes the city look shabby and uncared for. Many Complaints 'About Oiled Streets. Many complaints have been made to this paper about the present condition of the streets, individual cases of considerable damage to carpets and mats have been cited and complaints have been loud and long. It js pointed out. however, that it will be only a fevj days before the. streets "will he in good condition and then we shall be glad to have had the inconvenience because of the benefits that will follow. In other cities oiling has been done in a similar manner and in some cases has had to be discontinued owing to the large n.timber of suits brought against the city for damages. In one city, that shall be nameless, a person fell down and spoiled a new suit of clothes and collected the price from' the city. Then came a deluge of accidents, people were falling all day and coming to the city asking for new clothes to replace those injured. It is suggested that there must be a way of oiling streets without bringing about a condition such as that which has obtained here during the past few days. We do not know anything about it, but hope that if there is a better way it will be discovered before next year. MANY PEOPLE ARE JUST LUMPS OF BEEF Lady Correspondent of Paper Stands for Art, Love and Romance to 8top Suicide A correspondent of one of the southern papers discusses the relation of art to suicide as follows: "ftoading in your issue of the 12th a leader on, "Child Suicide in the Unitld Stales," might I express the opinion that, the sinner In Ihese cases is. not the child but the parent who would thoughtlessly bring a child Into an alm'osphere where Ihere was neither love or romance two necessities of life. The eugenisls prate a lot about. the right to be well-born, by which they mean the right Co be a good lump of beef. The happiest and finest minds are by no means found always in first-class, beefy bodies. What a child needs is love and romance. The former should he found in the home; the latter in art (sense of beauty). If there was as much money spent upon ueauwul things to go into the mind as there is upon sticky things for the stnirtach and nh- Vious mindless tunes to tickle Hie reel and superfluity of ornament to attract the vacant eyes, there would certainly not ce child suicide. There are people thinking these things in England and here, but they are not heard of, being neither movie stars nor politicians." BRINGS CONCENTRATES Power boat Confidence, Capt. G. 1).

LEAST ALARM Economic Condition In Britain Will Adjust Itself Says University Professor TORONTO, Aug. 13. The economic outlook in (treat Britain need give no cause for alarm, it was indicated by Prof. A.

"The standard of living is at present re-established at the pre-war level, .although working luAirs are reduced," he said "Necessary imports are obtained in return for reduced exports. "The problem of employment is still one of post-war adjust ment. In a few years' timn the increase in the number of the employable population will be checked, "Certain adjustments in dis inmiuon or occupations and in relative wages are necessary, but till European affairs are more settled .it cannot be foreseen whether an increase in external or Internal trade should bo the objective.

The proposal, offered after much discussion at a recent meeting in Atlantic City, is to unite five great home, or "domestic" mission boards into one organization, to be known as The Hoard of American Missions. It is believed that thouwinds of dollars of administrative expense and an untold amount of energy will be saved. The Rev. Dr. Frederick II. Knu-bel, president, nf the United Lutheran Church, states that in the proposed merger of these hoards Into the Howard of American Missions "it Is not our purpose lo curtail In any way the most efficient work which the five sister boards have been doing, but rather to organize one powerful board which will co-ordinate all nf this work In such a mannPr s lo serve best the highest interests of the Lutheran Church In America, Under ho new arrangement, which we hope will be adopted at the Chicago Convention In October, the mission Interests of the United Lutheran Church will be sprved by three major organizations the Board of Foreign Missions, the Inner Mission Hoard nnd the new Hoard of American Mission." , Minerals, $1,408,257; Coal and Coke, $250,008,113; lniUlh, etc., $30,U5,23'; making its Mineral Production to the end 0f Aggregate Value of $810,722,782 Production for Year Ending Dec. 1923, $41,304,320 The Mining Laws of this Province are more liberal and the fees lower than thoe 0f any other Province in the Dominion, or any colony in the (iritis)!

That the difficulties are not of an insuperable nature, was the economist's conclusion. The ad- justments necessary aro of a minor character, he said, Ten Years Ago In Prince Rupert August 13, 1914. The city council at a meeting yesterday afternoon unanimously protested the action of Mayor Newton and City Solicitor Peters in asking that troops he sent from the south to guard the city. A telegram was sent to Mayor Xewton, who is in Victoria, stating that such action was unnecessary and that locul men could do such special duty. The Daughters nf the Umpire, represented by Mrs. J.
