Frank Oliver the other day at Edmonton when the Pioneers Association laid the foundation for ,a bust In his honor which is being erected in the Alberta capital. It is a tribute of which any man might be proud, bpeaking of his active newspaper life another of the pioneers said of the former owner and editor of the Bulletin: "He was plain, rugged, honest, and sincere. He could not be bought or brjbed. He was a good fjghter and a hard hitter A strong and forcible speaker and writer, and a man of great ability. He had. strong and steadfast principles, and never hesitated in championing any cause that he stood for and believed to be right. He held , very decided opinions about politics and politicians who did not agree with him, and those who differed from him or whose actions while in office he did not approve of, must often have winced at the strong things he said about them and the manner he handled them both on the public platform and in the Bulletin. "Notwithstanding all this he won the admiration of both friends and opposition on account of his sincerity of purpose in always working for the best interests of the West, and the appella- n ui.iiiwo.wuu nuew mm oesi as 'iionesv r rank. Just jump into the car and take a run to Terrace for a game of golf this evening. Summer, 1032. LOST OUT IN GOOD CAUSE lion, frank Oliver lost his newspaper. He was too outspoken in the cause which he believed to be the right one, not remembering " " ",c peui'ie wno supporieu mm held different views. Gradually his financial intrest in the paper dwindled until today it is all gone and is in other hands. He has a good position on the Board of Railway Commissioners but the weapon he used has been ruthlessly torn from his hand by a cruel world. Under these circumstances the words of, the speaker at the Pioneers Reunion must have been particularly pleasing to the man who had lost in his efforts to advance what he believed to be a jrreat cause. ALL SORTS OF OPINIONS AMONG HEADERS Readers of newspapers hold all sorts of diverse opinions and no effort is made to cater to these opinions by the average newspaper writer. There is no reason why he should and if he did he would fail for there are too many opinions. At the same time he lias to bear in mind that while he believes a certain course to be right, there are hundreds of his readers who believe otherwise. There is scarcely any subject he can touch on which is not opposed. .If he discusses politics, religion, morals, Customs, books, trade, commerce, Industry, social life, or even newspaper'making, he will find that a large number of his readers think,: otherwise. If he ealizes this he will not .dogmatize quite as much as he otherwise would and lie will have always in mind this hydra-headed public that reads and crit Iclzes and occasionally applauds. The writer Js entitled to his opinion but he is not entitled to try to force that opinion upon others, ncr matter how convinced he may be of its truth. Hon. Ernest Lapointe should be given an appointment as permanent travelling ambassador to the world for the Government of Canada. He seems to be that, anyway. One way to kill the radio would be to broadcast the proceedings of the city council, and then for a post mortem tune in on the Legislature or possibly the Ottawa talkfest.

Hon. T. D.: Pattullo came to the rescue ot the fame of Prince Rupert and Queen Charlotte Islands when they had been the 'subject of misrepresentation by a "writer In the Sunday Colonist. In an article entitled "The Other Canada" J. B. Tyr rell, mining engineer stated: "My years in the Klondike were great pleasure, and the Hudson Bay ccuntry Is much the same. It la all much more pleasant than a district like Queen Charlotte Islands or Prince Ru pert, where the salmon fisheries are, with their ecxesslve rain and fog." Mr. Pattullo says: "The article The Other Canada' Is designed to show what a wonderful opportunity there exists In the far northern clime, and Mr. Tyrrell Is reported as supporting this vltw. I am well acquainted with Mr. Tyrrell, who Is a most estimable gentleman and one of the outstanding engineers of the continent, and there Is no doubt that one can get great en joyment living In an Arctic climate. But Mr. Tyrrell. If correctly, reported makes the mistake of endeavoring to establish one set of circumstances iij leaving a wrong Inference in connection with another set. KEMMENCE IN NOKTII J. "I was In the Klondike longer than Mr. Tyrtell. and also lived for years In Prince Rupert, and have visited the Queen Charlotte Islands many times during the past fifteen years, so that I know both the Klondike and the Prince Ruperl district. Mr. Tyrrell never lived In the Prince Rupert dls trlct. and can only speak " It on Information conveyed ' to him. "There Is no doubt that the Klon dike has a wonderful climate. There are really Just two seasons Winter and Summer. On first going to the Yukon In 1897. myself and associates bought personal outfits to make the trip. took along with me a complete summer outfit. Including a -white duck suit, much to the amusement of my assoc- .ates who ccnflned themselves to heavy woollens and big, coarse macklnaws, The temperature the following summer relched 98 In the shade. Curiously enough, the ground one 'foot below the surface, even with this temperature, was solidly frozen. The reason was that the super-surface acted like saw dust on ice. As soon as this super' rurface was removed the ground thawed for several feet and the rich alluvial roll, the warm Iweather- '.and the' long daylight produced & very rapid growth, No finer vegetables in the world can be grewn than In"- these northern climes, as I demonstrated in my own garden in Dawson. After Dawson became a more settled community and families were brought In, the Twenty-fourth of May was always the signal for the womert and children to come ont In white summer clothes, in spite of the fact that the ice had only gone out of tne river a week or ten days previously, The winter climate is looked upon as revere, but apart from about forty days in the year when the thermometer stands at from forty to sixty below rero, the winter climate Is delightful. At forty to sixty below zero, people travel as little aa possible. rods in sorui also I agree -with Mr. Tyrrell that one. can live in a northern clime with great comfort and pleasure. Where Mr. Tjrrell makes his mistake la In the In ference he leaves with regard to the climate of the Queen Charlotte Islands and Prince Rupert. Speaking ot fog, I lived in Prince Rupert for years and have never seen anything like as much (eg In that district as I have seen In the delightful climates of Vancouver and Victoria. As far aa rain is con- cerned. the precipitation Is considerably heavier thanr in Vancouver and very much heavier than In Victoria, but In considerable measure the larger annual rainfall Is due to heavier precipitation during the time-of the fall, rather than from the duration of the fall. Because of the exceptionally heavy precipitation and the storms .occurring at intervals, an impression has been given of the climate of the country that Is not Justified. The climate Is temperate and exceedingly agreeable. "The Queen Charlotte Islands are thte western outpost of the Dominion cf Canada. They have great variety of resource and a delightful climate. Development U gradually going ahead and, with the general Increase of the population In Canada and British Columbia, the Islands will become more accessible by more frequent transportation service and will be the home of thousands ot happy contented people."

EDMONTON IS FORGING AHEAD I EEI.INC1 OK CONFIDENCE AHKOAII IN CITY EDMONTON, June 8.Edinonton Is forging ahead, The whispers of confidence of t few ysars have now developed Into real loud talk. Jdst ahead the flicker of prosperity light may be seen. And there's a real good reason for this optimism In the opinion of Commissioner D. Mitchell, who la in a particularly advantageous position to know of what he speaks. Perhaps the most outstanding fea ture Is the pronounced building and construction program which Is now well under way. With the new C.N.R. depot tenders being considered at Win-1 nipeg, the construction of the lODtn street sirbway, the erection of new business blocks, coupled with the unprecedented home building boom, the outlook seems rosy. lit U.Itt l-KHMITH KOAK While the 1028 building permits were 1,481,800 and showed a substantial In- crease over the preceding year, the present figures' for 1827'lndleate a decided Increase over 1928.
