Prince Rupert people may well iliscliss with him and the others the problem's lhat affect us ami in which we are jointly interested. 11 is always a good thing lo keep in doe touch with our railway steamship officials. Wo can help them a good deal ami they can help us, if they will. There is bound to be community of interest between them and ourselves. The great thing is to speak plainly while they are here and not be uiirt analio in our demands. New Brunswick Change Was Expected. Thoe in eloe touch with the situation expected there! would be a political turnover in New Brunswick. ' The real difficulty is that times have been hard and the people naturally blame the government for it. They always do. Under such conditions it would have been a wonderful thing if they had held their own. ' Salmon Pack Has ' Improved. j The salmon pack this yeair is belter than it was four years ago.
