The excellence of the cxjiihils al Hie fair this -year has Wen commented on a good deal. "The interior' farming' country is well represented and there are a number of good samples. of local grown Rowers, vegetables ami fruit. The fair, made a good start yesterday and R is expected Die inlerest will gradual-ly increase if Ihe weal her allows. Most Important Event Of Year. The annual fall fair is the mos important event of the year. It is hettHil a lime when many people may attend who at any older time, would be kept away. It is the close, of the fishing eauu and IJie runners have nearly all put up their pack and the employees have a Iillle money to spend. The fair is the one attraction that brings people here from all surrounding district.-, dl has become a oiijdnm for residents in the Rulkley and Skeena Valleys, the Islands or the mining camps to pend a holiday here iu the big occasion and 'as a result the cily is livelier than at any oilier time of the year. Rapid Changes In Viewpoints. A few years ago, comparatively, any jier.-on saving any-thing against the government or the country was liable Id lose hi head or at anyrate to be iiiipii-oned indefinitely.' Today much latitude is given and people opeiijy advocate changes in systenis of. government which would upset the constitution or the country. In Britain this is evidenced more than in Caliada. Sometimes Ihe "Reds" become too bold and their 'activities-me checked but it is no crime imw'in that country to openly advocate the establishment cd a republic. The laxily of aiilhorily and tendency to' change results in much confusion and often ends in disaster and it wjll be npmy years before liability will be re-established. Population Increase ; Shown In Schools. 1 The registration of pupils in the public schools is an indication that, he population id Iho.city is on the juerea-e, There are already Hi 57 pupils enrolled r about seventy more Iliad last year. It is probable that the niiniber will be increased because some have ml yet returned to school. While the increase, in population is not rapid jl is steady and sure, the exact population of the city is not known and etirnae are iiii-alHfnclnry, It seems a pity that instead of Ie,tting the assessor make an estimate, it cannot lie arranged to have a real count. One man ought to be able to make a census in a week if there js n'olhing more lo do than count heads. Two weeks ;d the most should do it. This would not cast much and it would give real information. Estimates are oflen misleading. i two citizens recently giving information lo a vjsilor in regard lo the population of the city differed in their estimates by two thousand. It should be possible to gel at the ejarl nurniier (pule easily and thus prevent misleading information going out, to Ihe world. otm us your name and w otJJ send vou Supplies v . . .. . this iIlustratedA 8ftfl USE OF RADIO IN FAR NORTH Chtef Officer of .

This wa the first instance in which radio hail ever been employed on river boats in Canada, and the insial lation involved eou-ideralile work, .since special masts and aerial sear had lo be installed on the trial. The station on Ihe S.S. Dis (leneral and party, considerabln businesM was bundled for Ihe various posts and trading eorn- anics along Ihe river. At Akla-ik several important messages were delivered In officials of Ihe Hudson's Bay Company, and it was while tied up at that post thai the news of the loss nlhe llayeskimo in Ungava Bay was received. As soon as it became known that cnnuminicatfon wilh the outside was available, many look advantage of the oj)orlun-ily lo effect last-minute clunges In their shipments or freight for he final (rip of the boat down the river. This was of consid erable value lo the trading com panies, as it is only possible for Ihe boat to make three trips down tb river in a season.

On another reply was received lo a message sent from the l t!ln Montreal, in two hours and fifty-five minute.' Radio Popular In North Major Steel reports thai broadcast reception Is very popular in the North, especially during the ' fall and winter. This popularity has been largely created hv Ihe aclivities of Canadian newspapers fti oarrylnisf nut speei.ii programs aivl njftys sin'b'e for the people of the North. Tlr-long daylight hours exMrincei in that oart oMhe wrfrlrf iUiciiu the sumur season make .recep tion during the, summer almost iuikflssitde, at least with ordinary sets, but everyone i InoS - tributor was operated as oneljng forward eayerly to the hour link in the Northwest Territories radio system, which system is operalcd by the Hoyat Canadian Corps of Siffiials for Hie Depart ment of the Interior. The other sialions of this radio chain are located at Edmonton, Dawson City and .Mayo, Yukon Territory. and Fort Simpson; Fori Smith and Aklavik, Northwest Territories. The last two stations mentioned have just been put into operation this month. This radio system operates -in cuii- junetion wilh Ihe Canadian Na tional Telegraphs at Kdtnonlou, and handled for several months this year all eoinmunicalioin both into and out of the North west Territories and Yukon l im nisLriuiiior siuuon wa in operatiutuou July IX and handled' considerable business be tween Fort Smith and Kdmou ton for the government and also for the various trading and transportation Companies op- crating out of Fort Smith. The station was just completed in time lo transmit the glory of the delay experienced at Vermilion Chutes when the S.S. Athabasca Hier of the Alberta and Arclio fransportaljon Company wa unable to reach the vjce-real parly and the boat had to return to Filzjierald lo pick up the gas-boat Canadusa. .Mr. Ilbnianet, district manager of the Hudson's Kay Company, who was on board the Athalutsca JUver, gave Ihe details of the trouble to Major Steel, explaining that the ftas- boat, pushing: a light barge, would work its way up over the sand bars that were Hosing Ihe cliaiun'l for Ihe larger boat, and bring His F.xcellency and party down over Ihe 120 miles of rap ids to the deeper waler below Jl was kno.wn that a broadcast receiver was briny operated on hoard the S.S.

Handled Much Business Major Steel reports that the traffic halide. hy the Distribut or was much heavier than had been antieipaled. In addition to the traffic, for the (inventor of enlerlainment niadn joibie for them in Ihe fall and winter by Ihe development of the radiotelephone.

As the boat entered the narrow- rut the signals from Simpson gradually faded out. only to re -appear again when ihe boat emerged from the ran-yon at Fort Cood Hope. Agaii. between Thunder River and Antic lied Itiver, practically no signals were heard from any of the stations. Kven Mayo, only 2S miles away, wos inaudible. From Ibis point on lo Aklavik communication was. normal. Exactly the same conditions were experienced at these places on the return trip. ( Local Business While the new station at For? Smith was not sufficiently fa.- advanced to be used during the trip, a receiving set was installed there and the official of the transportation company were notified daily of the location of the boat and of the doings of the party on hoard.
