AlUernian Stephens is such a capable official and doe so much guuu work lor the city, that it is with diffidence we take issue with him in connection with this Cow Bay question. However, it. seems necessary to deal briefly with bis .letter of yesterday. It is admitted that the Cow Bay question ha been before the city for the past fourteen years and it is likely to lie anolbei fourteen if the matter is dealt with in Ihe terms of the firs! resolution offered by Mr. Stephens at the last council meeting. If Prince Rupert is not interested in carrying on negotiation there is no reason why any other place should wili to worry over it. ' ' v .'" i . - , - . Tbe- frsliernien.havefjbeeiuasking for-4mpnrved facilities. It isthe duty of the Dominion government to provide this, biil lite land ran only be secured by coming lo terms with the provincial government. The terms of the provincial .government are Ihe settlement of Ihe riparian rights in Cow Bay so Hint the railway and industrial sites question may be settled. So it moves in circles and there it is likely lo move unless the city enmes off its high horse and takes a little interest in Ihe matter. The fishermen are the Mifferers from the neglect. Nobody else worries. Question Of Reporting Long Drawn Out Meetings. " Mr. Stephens accuse the Daily News of failing to report Ihe meeting or the council correctly. The difficulty was that the discussion qontinued ifi: an informal way for well over an hopr and the report had to be boiled down lo a column -and a hair. ... ; It is not Ihe custom of Ihe local newspapers to emphasizo anything that will lend to injure Ihe city, hence the reference lo local fiuance.s was left out. Asjhe proposal of the mayor for Ibe city to build the waterfront improvements was not considered serimlsly by anyone except himself apparently. It wa not necessary in the argument. .Mr. Stephens might have continued to recount things that were said Tor another column or two and still at Ibe end of each paragraph have added, "Did von report that?" We did not. It n lot or Ihe things said at council meetings were reported the alermen and the mavor would often appear very foolish. The reporter neres-arily has to ue a great. deal of discretion. 'e are with Alderman Stephens in all well-considered efforts lo improve the city. Ve have backed him often and he Must learn to lake a lilt lo criticism as well t tlllTIA to back him again a great nianyiJImetf during Ijie coming year for he is the most forceful factor in the counoil and has a greal" opportunity to do userul work. Proposal To Let Work By Contract. Some criticiMii has beenjevelled at the provincial govern-meht in connection with the construction of the road tn Calloway Rnptds. Already the province,' has spent more on their part of be road than the city ha on theirs, and the rol of completing it is likely to be heavy. The result is that the government has been .recommended to let the. work by contract. II is claimed that belter results could be. secured in lhal wnv. The heaviest part of the rock work and filling is now completed and the rest or the construction is much belter. As soon as tbe money can be appropriated, it is understood Ihe work will recommence in the spring, but whether !N before or bv conlracl is not vet known. The best possible results, people here are asking, and whichever pl.-tii will give that., is the one the government should ROCHESTER IS NEWCHAIRMAN School Board Had Us First Meeting of Year Yesterday Afternoon 11.

PROTECTIONIST PROPAGANDA Anyox, B.'.., Jan. 2H-J fililor. Daily New. I enclose an answer to the pro-lectkmi&l propaganda "the lan-adian tariff should be raised to the level of that of the United Slates," which was lhe cause o' slampeclinp the hallol-winhler into the ranks of the protectionists, and which will be made use of a pa hi unless bc farce is exposed. It is nlioul time that protection under preent conditions, which is the greatest swindle ol the ape, should he exposed. A little study will show that a tariff whether applied to imported tea, wheat, shoes or anything else i a tax anil a tax alone, and protective in character and that there is no such a tuinp a a protective, tariff. That free trade flourishes under a hipb lax on import (tariff . as vviliie the case of automobile, with a :J5 tier cent ad valorem duly and nothing lo hinder the entrance of foreign made cars, when the users pay the full tax which tficy do in siirh 'eases. Protection of the market is possible only by undorsollinp the imported articles, which It not heinp done, and which leaven the tariff as an enforced subsidy only. D. J. KULL1VAX.
