Mayor Blatchford And Port Or Prince Rupert. We are particularly glad to have the belated denial from Mayor Kldirhl'ord at lie opposed the giving of equal terminal rules to Prince Rupert ami to heur that he is with us in connection Willi grain shipping to thi port. The charge va published nearly two moulds ago and was made in good faith. We arc .-till informed that a protest against equal rates was made to railway officials but we do not wish tu impute the veracity oi the Major and we are very glad lo know that we can look to him to help us in our etforls to secure gram shipment- this va WhnMie says is absolutely true, that co-operation of all who aie interested in the western route i? very desirable! We l aumn hae too many friend- and ue glad lo reckon Mayor Uluhlilord as one of them. Small Amount Of Interest Regrettable. The small amount of inleret taken in the civic elections Ibis year isi rather regrettable. The-c conditions do not make for the best in government. Every citizen should take an interest in the affairs of the eity nnd make himself heard through the ballot, but if nominalituis are not made there can be ver lillie expression. However, (here is a contest for mayor and alderman, and it looks as if there would be n large poll on election day. Try To Ignore Position Of West. Every effort is made to ignore the position of the west in regard to the grain export trade... Toronto Saturday .Night in an article reprinted in this paper today doe that. The paper devotes a good deal of attention lo the eastern maritimes hut Hie ve-tern maritime province is dismissed with a line. The iwiper says it symatluzes with auniuver. but of course does not even see Prince Rupert. II will take time' to open the eyes of the east Jo the strategic position of the Vesl. It will need a lot of effort on our part U force the hands of the eastern brokers and put n little urge behind the brokers of the west Thai we shall eventually win goes without-saying,, but it will lake -ome time and persistent effort. Queen Charlottes And Prince Rupert. The relation of Oiieen Charlotte Islands is partly determined by the transportation arrangements and partly by the attitude of Prince Rupert toward, that part of the district. Just now the Islands are on the eve of an awakening. New canneries are to be built there. The Queen Charlotte City mill is working double shift. Logging . outfits . are getting busy ami there are other Ihings in Ihe offing' that look like development. To what extent Prince Rupert will share in Ihe prosperity will depend to a large extent on Ih.e amount of puh they put into the business. The Islands are righl at our door and we should use our influence not only lo make pro Tils for ourselves but to help them wherever possible. Trappers And Coal Merchants Suffer. Rolh the trappers and eoal merchants have suffered a a result of the low temperatures, .(hat have prevailed this year. Oihers have .benefitted, especially those who have lo heal largo buildings. T some firms il will mean hundreds (lf dollar-.saving. t"L an ill wind thai blows no, one any good." says the proverb, otd every kind of wcalher helps someone.
