Saturday a United Slates vessel, the Boxer, was passing through the rather narrow hut perfectly safe channel west oi Kennedy Island. A flurry of snow obscured the vision and be-fore the officers of the ship knew what was happening the Boxer was ashore on, Whitediff Island. The little snow-flakes had warped the judgment enough to consc what might have been a catastrophe. Every day similar things are happening. Had there been a blustering gale Ihe vessel could have nought shelter safely but the little despised flurry of snow was fatal. . . . s Beware Of Little Things '.r That Guide Our Destiny. All Hiroiath life il is the littles, things, that affect us mot. Sometime-, onlv a suprtre-lion sets Us on 'a new path that may he right or wrong but which is very far fftjm the one intended to be travelled. Even a glance ot .the- ey.iij iieflcrleil nianv i man from hi lnt". Tlie obvious dutv then is to" study the Mile things. In btisi ness this hn always been recognized and sime wi-e man of lung ami said: "Take care of the pennies and the pounds will take care, of themselves." The idea is to be careful over the litlle things for the big things will be of such inmiraiice that we shall he sure to take care of them. The housekeeper that looks after1 the details the stenographer that does her work well, the workman that is careful to carry out and sometimes to anticipate orders, the mechanic that watches every spring and nut and boll, all thee know that they must be careful of the litlle things if thev are to make a s,tiees of their work and of life. The politician knows thai he is seldom defeated at an election because of the broad party policies, but rather because of very small things he has done orljeft undone. Attention to details i ino-t important in all walks of life. Welcome Edmonton Visit-In Summer. . . If the Edmonton Board of Trade decides to visit Prince Rupert, the members will get a hearty, welcome. . The present trade relations between that city land tins are not at present as satisfactory as they might be. ETl.monton is the nearest city on the eat and is thu capital of Alberta and the largest centre of the CN.lt. west of .Winnipeg except Vancouver. We buy some goods from Edmontoitand they buy some from u but there might be a greater exchange of products and gradually, as this port develop, the business should increase. , One "thing against doing business with Krtmonton is the hCijvy freight rale. We are not suggesting that Ihe railway is collecting Jiiglier toll for the service than it ought, except on export grain and fhpir, hut we do know; thai lower freight rates tend, to increase? business. Because oj.jhp .competition and because of the targe amount of lifismes's; nTWal kind handled, the railway gives a low grain export rate. The diimeptic rale is miich higher, so high in many cases .that it cannot compete with the sleamship rate to the southern Canadian and American cities so that business wlfirh otherwise would go east now goes soulh. Settlement Of Oueen Charlottes. i It is only twenty years agojhat the first settlers went to the east roast of Queen Charlotte Islands, taking op lands at Tlell. While the war and other causes hindered 'progress there, something has J.een done and wilh Ihe1' completion of the road lo Pori Clemen's, settlement will be more rapid and development of Ihe farms greater. Today there is a difficulty in gelling produce to market. The Island market is limited and the difficulty of (.hipping by stertmer is very great. Gradually Ihese difficulties will be ironed out and greater progress will be made.
