Making changes in the regulation which will satisfy the fanners and the fishermen is a most difficult matter and there will have to be some give and take. However, this the time to act. Fishermen should not depend upon having said something once. A new issue has arisen and the fishermen should act on it just now. It is to be assumed that further information in regard to the scheme will be "available soon and then the people interested in the industry must make up their minds for or against it It is important that the meeting which has been called shall be thoroughly representative of the industry. While everyone cannot speak, their presence at the meeting helps to give it force. ILS. AND CANADA INTERLOCKED The interests of Canada and United States are so much interlocked that any move on the part of one country is bound to affect the other. When the government made the British preference operative only for goods carried through Canadian ports it seemed a fair enough proposal and yet it has been one of the matters to arouse the commercial interests of the United States and possibly may be' the mean cf tightening up of the laws which at present allow Canada to get a good deal of business which she cannot well afford to lose. Canada and United States lie side by side over so long a stretch of territory that what benefits one part may tend to injure another. While GO per cent of the freight passing through Vancouver may originate in or be bound to the United States, to offset against this, huge quantities of Canadian wheat that go through American ports should pass through Canadian. Everywhere interlocking interests are found and it is dangerous to interfere with these at any lime. What benefits one part is apt to injure another. TWO GREAT PROBLEMS There are at present two great problems interesting the people of Prince Rupert. The first of these is the question of giving Peace River grain its natural outlet to Prince Rupert aadjlhe other m.the building of i road between Prince Rupert and- fTerrace. These problems overshadow all minor ones and will continue to do so until . 1 .. J Tl t a . a . a . . ..... . ouiteu. ine oei eiions oi me community snould be devoted io their solution. NOMINATIONS I OR, PRESIDENT Much discussion is going on over the nominations for president which take place next year. Determined efforts are being made to nominate Governor. Smith of New York as Democratic candidate. He is a wet, a Catholic, a Tammany man and a New Yorker. The result is that he is opposed by the drys, the strong anti-Catholics, the antl-Tammanyites and the anti-New York people. Antipathy to him seems particularly pronounced in the south. In order to give him a chance to get past the various antis there is a proposal afoot to demand only a majority vote instead of 75 per cent of the convention. The fight is going on but whether Smith will win out or not only time will tell. He certainly is the most advertised man in the United States just now and he bids fair to remain in the limelight until after nomination. Then he may be chosen representative of the great Democratic party and possibly be elected to the presidency of the United States or retire once more into obscurity, never again to emerge.

It Is true I have not been advertising myself over what I have been endeavoring to do for the city with raapect to the Peace Blvor Hallway proposals, but. nevertheless. I have been quietly doing my beat along that line. It will be remembered that some time tack I succeeded in securing a lolnt committee to deal with the matter. with ttbe result that much valuable data waa gathered and embodied In the rrince Rupert booklet Then followed Sir Henry Thornton's statement that nothing would be done with retpect to a Peace aiver Railway until that poVticn of the Dominion was able to produce ten minion bushels of grain.

Thus the railway project suddenly became a live Isrv once again.

With the adoption of this course, at a tune whan southern influences were most actively engaged otherwise. I felt Prince Rupert had everything to gain and nothing to lose. There matters stood Until I had occasion two weeks agp to go south again. Upon arriving there I read of the Peact River proposals for the creation of a new province. Being away from home I naturally took no action Insofar as that is concerned. Before returning home, however, I did give considerable time to a proposal which has a bearing upon a more vigorous presentation of Prince Rupert's advantages with respect to the Peace River railway project, and I propose to place this matter before the city council at its next and first meeting since my return. With these explanations, surely the public will real Ire that I have not been asleep at the switch, as Mr. McOaffery would have the people believe. As a result of recent developments, though, I do feel the time has arrived when we should be prepared to spend some money in order to better establish our Peace River advantages. It Is all very well for us to believe that we possess the most feasible and shortest route, but Ottawa wUI doubtless expect us to nuhstentlate our belief. If we fat! to so do on account of expense we may yet rr.: what otherwise might ho ours.
