People .who go there on hunting trips see Hie deserted fiomes,lhe overgrown gardens, the bariH falling in and they get the idea that the laud is useless, thai it is impossible to farm and make a living there. It must oe aunnilcu turn uinieuities attend the conversion! of Hie muskeg into arable or pasture land. In spile oT that, however, the attractions m the islands surrounding Prince llti-j peri are such thai in time they will nil be occupied by prosperous farmers who will engage in mixed farming operation and dravvj a good deal of their grain feed-supply from the- local elevators. Just at present there are opportunities for lhne wishing to raise cattle. The grazing grounds are large and with a little feeding and sheller in the winloi the callle do well. The object lesson of the horses senl there lo winter last year and which did well with practically no cot is one that should encourage others to go inlo raising of slock there. Christmas is drawing very near and Prince Rupert peoph? are prejiaruig to spend it in llie time lionnreo manner. Also they are showing their hospitality byinviling friends who have not anyw here else to go. Xlie difficulty is that many people may not be known nnd consequently may not get invitations. To search these out and see that they have a good time is the work of someone and ij should not be neglected. Let Christmas lie the biggest day of the yen r -for everyone ami by giving happines to others let us make ourselves happy. Manson Under Fire , Favorite Head Line. A favorite head line for newspapers these day is "Manop Under Eire"-or "Attorney Genera) Under Eire." A few years: ago it was "Bowser Under Fire." In fact, whoever holds the position of Attorney General i going to be under fire in thi province as long as we have the present system of government. The Altaniay General has charge of the administration of justice, IheIrtBtfr department and olher contentions work and comes naturally into the limelight. Jlon. .. Al. Mausou Has tieen carrying on In ilulies m n manner which commands the confidence of a majority of mem bers of the Legislature, some of whom are Labor members, some Independents and some members of the almost defunct Provincial parly. As long as lliey think he is nil right, and they are the best informed and the most likely lo know, it is hardly for those who gel Iheir information from the attacks of political opponents In decry him. As a matter of fact Mhiimim has done wonders with the provincial police. He has carried through the administration of the' Liquor Act successfully, oven (hough was prophesied by his friend Dial il would prove the millstone about his neck that would carry him down to political oblivion, lie has piloted the difficult department through slormy Union with success and all the liatleriiig of self-seeking opponents ha made lillle impression on him ami hi work. Both Rupert-Ministers Successful Men. Prince Iluperl may well feel proud of having at Victoria, two successful ministers who carry on the work of their respective" 'department with credit to lite counlry. It is to he hoped and rather to be expected thai when the premiership falls vacant as it is bound lo do before very long, the claims of one of these men will receive serious consideration.
