Freight Rates Fight In Prince Rupert. : Willi the titling of the railway comniiMun here today, the battle for equalization of freight rates, to the Pacific Coat is being carried oii in Prince Hiipcrl. The commissioner, we know, have a hard problem Id deal with id this freight rales question. There should lie rib difficulty for them to deride thai right is. on Ihe side of British Columbia as facts and figures prove that. The difficulty is that. Eastern' Canada got its position of preference long ago and any move that would attract ship nients of commodities from the-eastern to the western route will be keenly fought against by ihe EasL .Prince Rupert and British Columbia is only expecting lhat the railway board, or any other body that deals with this question, will deal with Ihe mailer only on its merits. British Columbia is asking for no undue advantage, but only wanls a fair shake with the Eal. The province lias long been patient and grateful for each small improvement that has been effected in this matter. Politicians preach tlio-de.sirabilily .for unity in Canada. British Columbia can never be fully united wiili the East until this1 freight rates matter has been fairly adjusted. An Optimist :' is Visiting Town. 0. (I. McUeer," K'.C; -counsel foe British- Columbia in the freight raies case, in his pliblfe u"ddreebVfore"varjou bodies in the city during his visit here, tins week, lias painted onie pretty word pictures depicting improved conditions fur 'British Cohimbia dud a larger volume of traffic through coast ports, particularly Prince Rupert anil Vancouver, that will come as soon as British Columbia gets the equalization in freight rates to which she is entitled to. Mr. Mcueer, we have often heard and results already obtained indicate, is a hard fighter. His speeche show that he is a born optimist as well. It is a good thing for Prince Rupert to have visils front men of his type and it is only too bad that his message-o? hope arid faith and his words of pan- British Columbia-ism ffttild -not-ho heard by the populace at large. His words inspire renewed hope, in the future whether people, agree w-itb him politically, or not. He is doing a good work for British Columbia and )l is hoped thai the fight which he is leading may soon be brought to a successful conclusion. Let All Customs Affairs Come Out. .
