Friday,-June 3, 1927 EVOLUTION OF PRINCE RUPERT When Engineer Pillsbury and his squad of men first ran their lines across what is now Prince Rupert, they were enthused, with a purpose, that of laying out a city that was to grow like a mushroom and attain greatness overnight. The railway was coming and at its terminus there was bound to be a big city, for it was to be the gateway to the Orient and all the power of the Dominion Governr ment was behind It. Steamship lines were to' operate as soon as the rails were lafd and the government showed itsearnestness by build ing a pretentious quarantine station to protect the thousand- of. citizens irom any Oriental scourge of sickness that might threaten; People crowded into the harbor and got a footing on the muskeg, even though the townsite wa3 not yet open to the public. John Houston set ujj his printing press and handed out bouquets and brickbats without fear or favor. People were bubbling over with enthusiasm for they were intending to make their fortunes out of the muskeg and the mud and the people and the ships and the railway. They worked and sang and at night they danced. Seeming 'Hardships were laughed away for all could see the rainbow with the pot' of gold at its foot. They felt it in their blood that fame and fortune lay ahead. , What shall I eat and what shall I wear and what is the weather like seem to be the unsolved questions that worry most people tfoday just as it did a thousand years ago. Evolution is slow. ?: DISILLUSIONMENT CAME TO MANY And then disillusionment came to the people. The real estate: bubble, that had blown itself to huge dimensions throughout the country burst, the railway went into liquidation and the war came" and took nearly all the men away and many of the women- followed them. A few remained td keep tfie home fires burning and to trja tb carry out the original ideas of the founders of the city, but it was a hard grind and the iron, entered into their souls and seared them. Many lost all they ever had and others hung on to their holding - - There were land booms In many other places but in none were tne owners so tenacious as here and nowhere did they take so hardly me losses, wnicn were Dound to be theirs. If we could only get to a point where Prince Rupert was just another name for pep, power and purpose we could, feel that we really had arrived. And then we should feel so self-satisfied that we should begin to THEN CAME TURN FOR HETTER The turn for the better came with the beginning of the' production of aeroplane spruce in the neighborhood. There was a revival which was followed later by the building of ships and th consequent big steady payroll. That ended and gloom once more pervaded the city and with many the gloom has remained! Today, however, Prince Rupert has attained a more stable condition The old ideas of, immediate wealth through speculation has gone for good and in its' place has come a realization that every dollar obtained must first be earned. We are working our way to a better condition. Fish prices have been stabilized, wheat shipments are made through a government elevator, the shipyard works more or less steadily and business with the district is developing. Gradually changes are coming about, a new mill is to be built .commencing at once, and other good things are in the offing as aids in the march of progress. ; , A teacher committed to a line of thought or to a method will cling to it long after others haye deserted it, The effort to convince others has convinced many of 'thVmselvesj beyond recall . 1 CONDITION GOOD TODAY PrincD .Rupert never was in as good a condition as today. The houses are all occupied and almost every shack is furnished up so that it may be used for habitation', More houses are needed and they will be built as the demand increases. Tht streets are in pretty good condition and the problems of sewers and' sidewalks will be tackled with energy. Every year the place looks more like a real' city. Th? faith of businessmen is evidenced in some good buildings that are a credit to the place. What is needed is to forget the hope of immediate and great rewards but instead to do our best with the material at hand. Some even yet are dissatisfied and will leave, but others with more energy will take their places and Prince Rupert will grow, like all other seaport cities of its kind' have grown, by the development of the resources of the district" and through thtf energy of her townsmen.

"Nothing But The Truth" in the Westholrae Theatre last night before an audience which fully made up In appreciation what it might have lacked In size. There was an attendance of about 350 it is estimated. The only .lew member of the -cast from the first performance was Sid Relth who . took the part of the bishop In place of Arthur Sharpe who Is not in the city. Sharpe performed this role so well in the first play that there were ome who feared an adequate substitute could not be found. Reith, however, rose to the occaslop and left nothing to ne aesirea in nis portrayal, as oerore, the other members of the cast acquitted .hemselves creditably. Sydney Hiiriter acted" as house manager and Dick Howe was cashier. The ushe'rs were Miss Wlllla Dyer. Miss Caroline Mitchell, Miss E. MacKay, Miss Norah Rlvett, Miss Prances Cross and Miss Marjorie Shlel. After the show, members of the cast jnd those assisting were entertained at oipper in the Commodore Cafe. SIR JOHN WILLISON TRAVELLED MANY ROADS (Manitoba Free Press) Of Sir John Wllllson It can be Said that In the course of his journalistic life he passed across the whole political stage from combative radicalism to rene acceptance of the Conservative scheme of things, without losing a friend of creating the slightest doubt in the mind of a single friend of his sincerity and honesty of purpose. That Is to say, he was an honest man with a generous and kindly mind, bound to follow, where the light seemed 'to- lead him; but capable of appreciating the point of view and honoring the motives of those who, unable to travel with him, took other roads.

In The Letter Box IlKI'tiMIS ISLAM!' TElXI'llONr. Port Clements, B.C.. May 31. 1927. Editor Dally News. Will you allow me a few lines of space In your Dally to reply to criticisms appearing In the Sunday Province of May IS Inst., regarding the Oraham Island telephone, known as the, Government Telegraphs. First. I most emphatically state that the system Is not a Joke, but Is one .( the greatest1 benefits that we have had' during -the past sixteen years. Second. I have no fault to find with the kick about' rates, we all think! mat iney snouia nave been lowered rather than raised. Third. I have consulted many that have' phones Installed and' have found but one that has any kick regarding the charge for Installing, and that kick was not on account of charges, but of a private nature. Fourth. The article states that about one- third of the time the line Is blown -with windfalls, -and about half the time you cannot make the other fellow hear. I take exception to these statements. I have occasion to use the telephone on this Island probably more than any private' Individual resident here and I car? truthfully say that it is very rarely that 1 have been unable to get my party, talk and hear them distinctly. After severe storms our line Is some times down, tout only fora short time. In fact In several year I do not know of one lstance where the line has been out' of commission for 24 hours. I have known our lineman to get out and wade up to his waist in slush and no and get the line working, and I cannot let a slam like the one In the article referred tOj pass; .as; it Is most unjust, uncalled for and -untrue, and I know the great majority bf 'our people here wUl bear me out when' I say that our lineman Is a" faithful. Intelligent and competent man !' I haW-had bccasldn' to use the phone in every public telephone omce on this Island and' have' always received' the most courteous treatment In all offices. The article is signed "Settler" why not sign their name, that we may be able to ascertain, whether It U n Just complaint or some private grievance, A. R. MALLORV.
