British Settlers Coming o Canada. &V few of the earlier arrivals ?amoug the settlers coming to Canada happened lo he from olh'er than "Hritlh countries ami immediately there Vas an outcry from politician that the country was lobe swamped willi foreigners of a low type. Now v have an arrhal or four thousand of. which five-sixths are British and of course nothing is said. Why all this Hiss? What is there about the British that i Mi niuch better than their neighbors'? Why is it necessary- for settlers to come from the British isles when the people of those islands mostly come from fiefniariic stock? After the first generation it is practically impossible to tell them apart. As loughs we are getting a good elasi of white1' people It seems unreasonable to worn because lueyjiappen not to speak the English language on TffrivaL They soon jeani it ' Good Thing To Have -V ' Local Shipyard Busy. ? This Spring has seen a marked improvement in businev at thelocal shipyard. The dry dock has been busy a good deal of the time and a lot of repair wrkjias been carried oilt here since, the plant has been taken over by the Canadian (iovertt nieut Merchant Murine. The result has been decidedly beneficial io this city and it is to be hoped the good "work will continue. We lake great pleasure in commending the work of the department in at least realizing that it is desirable to keep thej government plant uusy wiui government work. Must Marry At Once Or Vacate Apartments. " ' There i an apartment in London occupied nxtlv hv wealthy bachelors, who have been-served with notice that' they" must either marry' or leave. Evictions will follow if the order is not obeyed. rllere is a wonderful example.

He will lurn them mil and populate the place with better, more useful and happier people, he says. There are a lot of bachelors in Prince Rupert anil a worthy lot they are, usually, but think how much letter they would be if Ihey were married. Think how much better their living conditions would be if they had wivef. to look, after them and how much happier if they had. children bf their own. Bachelor are oflen useful people, because if there were no bachelors, there would Iw no' wedding-. The difficulty with some of Ihem Is that Ihey are hard lo please and a a result they become confirmed bachelors. The condition of -single cuscd'-ness "becomes chronic ' . Council Divided On , Taxation Question. .. - The city council lasl-night was, divided on the question of taxation. There- is a sum of f 28,0?0 set down in .the proposed estimates of which $10,000 i dr resurfacing the business section of the city with bituminous asphalt and the other the covering of the residential streets wilh tarvia. Both works are neeiled but how are ihey to be paid for? The chairman of the finance conmiiltee recommends that lhe money be borrowed aud paid back over a period of five years. Another part of the .council i wholly opposed to that method. So far as the asphalting of the down town slreeis is con cerned it Will be a great saving in upkeep during the next few years and should lal more thauJLhe term of the loan. The tar via if different.

They were operated for one season: ami then the Detriment refused to- renew the license, giving as a. reason that it was conduetln? an; investigation by tasL'jrln? a cer-! lain nnrnher of salmon and then letting them loose to see if they were causbt by American trap, and with a special view to find- mjr out if the fishermen whq caught salmon by trolling we, I'ing injured by the catch of the traps. !s, while this investiga tion is jroing on, the investment made by the Canadian company in good faith on official assur ance of the Canadian government goes for nothing. Meanwhile. th three Canadian trap being closed by In Cana dian Kovernment, there remain the thirteen .vmerican traps catching the same fisa in the same waters without cheek or hindrance. Complete explanation should he made by 'he Department nf Marine and Fisheries. On the face of it there would appear to be an adjustment necessary. CHAUIHGE OF TODAY Rev. E. Q.
