Pattuilo announced that the work on the highway across Kaien Island as a part of the road to Terrace would proceed and be pushed to completion if possible this year. That is what we expected but it itf good news all the same. We needed just, that assurance to keep us from feeling that perhaps there might have been a slipup and the money for the work might not be forthcoming. Those who expected to get steady employment on the road will be assured that the job will be there. Times are bad when you have to make the old car lo another year. MININtt CAMPS EXPECT TO BE BUSY " The mining camps of northern and central British Columbia expect, to be busy this, year. Yesterday mention was made of the prospects at Alice Arm and we have at, varjoua. times told of the mining going on or expected to go on at other places. Not only will the improvement be on Portland Canal Island but in almost every camp in the' district. At Smithers the Duthie mine success is en-thusjng others to emulate their example. The Topley find has given a stimulus to prospecting throughout the whole interor and it will probably be found at the end of the season that more men have been employed, more money invested, and more actual work done than In any previous year. Since the labor unions have bossed the situation, their members have forgotten to use that antiquated expression, "wage slave." FINE WEATHER CAUSES ACTIVITY The fine weather 0f the past few days has improved business for the city merchants. People have been taking more interest in wearing apparel and in other things that make up civilized life. Money Is being spent more freely and people are feeling better and more hopeful. As a matter of fact there is every reason" for hopefulness In this district. We have a much better outlook than any other city of its size on the continent, a'nd that is saying a good deal. But;. we are not children. We should not need stimulus of this kind. We are all aware that Prince Rupert is making steady, progress and will Bkely find progress much more rapid in the future than it has been in past. ' There used to be people who suffered from empty stomachs but today most of the suffering is from filling the stomach too often. CHINA HAS NATURAL PAINS China is awakening and has the pains which go naturally with the renewing of activity after a long slumber. Elsewhere Dr. Endicott tells of the Improvement he saw In the country. A new ambition Is taking hold there and in a few years it is to be hoped she will settle down and commence to build instead of tear down. An awakening was needed in China but ii was a long time coming. Like the Japanese did a few years ago, they will soon be seized with new life, new aims and a new outlook. What seems to jus like confusion is probably a most regular and proper disturbance of the cosmic consciousness finding vent in action. A good executive never seems to be missed when he Is away.

Met by Or. MacDonald. of the Canadian Mission of the United Church, we lelt the same evening for Konginoon. The little boat on which we sailed has had a history which admirably illustrates some aspects of latter-day Chinese life. Hit name, up to a few years ago, was, Tal On" or "Oreat Peace," and, naturally, passengers embarked on her with a deep rue of security and comfort. Then came an evU hour when this good ship came Into collision with a characteristic and ominous South China Institution, the noble order of pirates. 1'IK.tf'V Klt'C Within fifty miles of Hongkong and The pirates failed to capture the bridge of the ship, but In revenge they set her on fire and she was burnt to the water's edge. The chief officers and others In charge were killed and some two hundred 'pwssengera perished. She was finally rebuilt above the water All this encouraging and stimulating Information was given me by the good doctor as we were getting settled in our wee cabins for the night Journey. Moreover, I hsd visible proof that unwelcome visitors to the ship were fear- Id- Steel plates and doors guarded the navigating bridge. Heavy wire screens protected the passenger decks and prevented any easy boarding ot these sections.

PRIVATE IIK.VIMJI'.VRTEKS 1 We felt that on toe whole It was Just as well that the ship should drop her old name of "Oreat Peace."

The whole countryside Is dotted with new and strong watch towers and guard houses. We saw as many a eight of these In a atngle village. Taking this phase of things only Into view, one can readily see how easy It 1 for a really well-disciplined pessimist to find abundant proof that thing are going from bad to worse and that a fearful doom Is Impending. Even an Innocent and well-meaning optimist will admit that In matter affecting trade and public aafety there Is great room for Improvement. 'VNIOX IX COMMAND While we were still on board the "New South Sea" "Great Peace" we aluo came sharply up against the amaz- the Cantonese government is so dependent both upon Russia and upon their own labor union for support that It cannot act freely, even If It would. One might go on In this strain almost Indefinitely and make out a very dark picture indeed. Perhaps there Is no more astonishing evidence of the spirit and power of the labor union of South China than Is shown In their treatment of medical missionary worlc. One can Understand, even If he cannot admire, their attitude to Christian propaganda, but (heir attitude to the hospitals pasee comprehension.

Instance of a like character abound. I there, then, no silver lining to this dark cloud? VerUy there 1st I havi had the privilege of conversing with a number of very intelligent Chinese. old and young, during the past week or two. and while none of them deny the dark side of things. I have yet to meet a single Chinese who does not deeply believe that China Is In a healthier condition fundamentally today than she haa been for a hundred years or more. The faith ct the Chinese people In their future Is unshaken and 1 vastly more In evidence than when t lived in China twenty years and more ago. One has beard so much In recent years of anti-foreign and antl-Brltlsh feeling In China, and notably In South China, and, doubtless.

No shipping is safe even In our preMnc tnem WM rn broad daylight unless protected by gun boat. For a few hours only on our journeys to the cities and station we were escorted by a British gunboat, but most of the time by a Chinese Junk mounted with cannon and towed by a launch. All the protection secured ,by the Chinese boat and shipping firms was When I think of. the sort of reception e used to get sometime In West China thirty years ago. the attitude ot the people of South China at the present time seems, quite ' friendly. Even in the closed hospital at Canton we heard a re-asurlng note sound ed.

The doctor Insisted that the past year had probably been hi most Uwful year In China, because, having been freed fiom the heavy routine work In the wards. he had been able to devote himself to very pressing needs in the way of pre ventlve and public health work. In these activities the Chinese leading people welcomed his co-operation. Tes, China Is an enigma. She 1 carrying burden and vice enough to swamp a nation, one would think, but she Is getting ready for a better day, notwithstanding. While all thl disturbance Is pro ceeding, and while business Is being crushed with taxation and the pressure of labor organizations, great structural changes are being effected In the life of the people. , TKANHHIIlMtTloX It la simply astonishing to an old resident to see the way. for example, the Chinese down her are transform ing their sleepy old eltle.
