Prince Rupert should put on her best this week and wear it until the end of the season. There will'be many prominent visitors to the city this year and perhaps, most important of all, will be the Governor General.Lqrd WiUjngdon., statesman, scholar and gentleman, who, with Lady willingdon,- one of the Empire's most noted women, will be jhere on Saturday. It is important that a good impression should be macje on these noted guests and also those more or 'less important personages who will be here, daily now that the season for' visitors' is opening. MR. KOnil PUTS HIS FOOT DOWN. -Hon. J. A. Robb, custodian, of the public purse, put his foot down on changes in his civil service'superannuation bill,. He says that. the taxpayers have a say in the matter and he is quite right. It is gratifying to see him, at-least, take a strong hand in the face of the clamor of the federal civil servants, who, taken together. would form a large and powerful body of population, but at tthat are notf everything. , v THE HABIT OF THRIFT. Lots of people expect to acquire all their good 'habits in their second childhood. " One of the good habits long put off is thrift. " Often this habit does come in second childhood. With appe-titesrand passions burned out of the decaying mind and body, old .menymay find themselves freed from temptations and wrongly enn-sider their condition due to ripened virtue. ' -Hut thrift, like any other ''virtue" forced upon one by nature, is apt to find its environment unhealthy and to curdle into penurious .meanness. $j!If thrift 'Is to be wholesome.and sweet ahd fruitful it must be embraced iwjiile' the mind and body are healthy and vigorous. Thrift Is a composite quality. It embraces within itself nearly nil pf the great virtues. It implies industry! prudence, forethought, selfdenial. It certainly has no relation to (niggardliness or mean-ness. Some men would let their grandmothers starve to death for the sake of a few dollars. That cannot be called thrifty. And virtue carried to excess becomes a vice and is no longer virtue. Thrift that does not take into partnership honesty and charity sours into covetousness and avarice. True thrift is the opposite of thriftlessness, prodigality, improvidence and waste. Thrift means better homes an? better food, rrfore comfort and enjoyment, less waste and less anxiety. Out of It grow quickened energies, firmer courage, more stalwart thought and hope, more orderly citizenship, education and a good chance in life for the children, and the independence and self respect that life aimless, hopeless drudges up to true manhood.

AXT I'liOJKCT SI'KAKKItS SAY LOCAL IKKNIIIT Is AssUtL'll (Portland Canal News) In compliance with an Invitation the Hyder Chamber of Commerce met in Stewart Tuesday evening with the Stewart Board of Trade, to discuss the question of a railway from the Peace River country to Portland Canal. A crowded hall was only one of the fea-ures of the event, and a lot of very Interesting data compiled by the two organizations was fully discussed. 'Hie local Board of Trade was 111 possession of the government report., recently published and used as the basis' of a debate on this question recently In the House of Commons. This report. 1 1 signed by leading engineers of the CNJEt. J and, CPU. Railways, dealt exhaustively 1 with every possible outlet from the ; Peace River, giving data as to mileage. tonnage, construction, maintenance and operating costs. Xn going over this It was found that the route to Stewart U no less than 300 miles shorter than any other available route, and presents I no engineering difficulties; that the Peace River country contains 8,500.000 t ceres of land that would become productive If given cheap transportation; that j Its estimated cost ,1s $30,000,000. I One objectlou taken to It In the east ! seems to be the Idea, as expressed by ' Mr. James of the C.P.R. before the se-: ltct committee of the House, that "no : freight would be available -west of the Rocky Mountains unless some one finds a mine." Thus no account Is ' taken of the wonderful resources In two anthracite coal field that would be on the route, large Iron deposits, two large mineral territories, timber and land. IKf.KIIIT AVAILAUl.l: The situation having been presented to the meeting by representatives ot the Stewart Board of Trade, the chair- , nan called on Ernest Blue, of the ! Hyder Chamber of Commerce, for facta as to the amount of freight that would 1 be immediately available for such a ; railway If a one-mile spur was con-: structed Into Ryder, Alaska, making a railhead therein. , Mr. Blue, In a very able and forceful I mariner gave a mass of Interesting data compiled from Alaskan government re ports, that should .go a long way to ward answering the objections df those in the east who support Mr. James' Idea that no freight would be Available. 'Taking official figures for exports and Imports from only that portion of Aiaska which would be reasonably tributary to Hyder, Mr. Blue showed that the exports In 1826 amounted to (80,-912.059. and the Imports to 30.114.000, .75 per cent of which comes from, or Is ' destined to. points east of .the Mlsslsa-, lppl River. It could hardly be expected 1 Mr. Blue said, that a railway Into Hyder could get all of this business, but It should get at least 50 per cent and possibly 75 per cent of It. During this time 30,000 tourists, "round-trlp-pert," visited Alaska, and a road to Hyder would handle a large proportion ot this traffic. This .is a business that Is rapidly expanding. He figured that in: ireigm irom Aiasxa payaoie 10 sucn a railway would amount to $4,000,000 a tear at the present time. lUKiVKss on miMi I Chas. P. Sandford, editor of the I Hyder Weekly Herald anu United States Commissioner, also produced a lot o; official data to show the amount ot , business that would at once 'offer, and J. A. Hall, president of the Bank o. 1 Hyder. made some valuable suggestions as to th course of procedure to produce results.
