Rushhfook, who Britain will undoubtedly continue with the naval construction pro! Zf( sary, as Z In the string case, of his in B.nm ouuj.icu uj mc Luiuor government in VJZi, which extends until 1930. In these six years the nations will have spent 04,000,000 on new vessels. The program calls for 18 new warships this year. It is understood that the navy estimates for 1927-28 have now been drafted. In view of the large Volume of new construction in hand, and' of the fact that 18 more vessels are to be laid down in the coming financial year, the estimates will probably be heavier than those for the present financial year, which amount to 158,100,000. It is expected that the personnel of the navy, which now stands at 103,125 officers and men, will be slightly expanded to meet the manning requirements of the numerous vessels that will soon be entering service.

A little over 21 year ago.i i ho said he had first visited the har-1 I bor of Prince Rupert and found It then ; i full of whales. Some of these were lm- j Jmense creatures measuring over eighty feet In length and It was Indeed a pie-, turesque sight to watch them. On the first Sunday after the opening of the.' post office here he had held a church service down on the waterfront In a mess house and, on that day. too, Jhe harbor , teemed to be full of these Immense hales, which had not visited the har-j bar In recent years. The speaker then , told of an Interesting picnic held at . 8hawatlans which was attended by people from Port Esstngton. ' The change which had transpired during the last twenty years was as notice stole along the Skeena River and other places outside Prince Rupert aa In the ; city.

WAV .Mint: CIIAMiKS The building of the railway brought lng boat, which be used to meet his appointments In the different places. This was not satisfactory, however, and later 11 had been possible to secure a small gas boat which was still operating out of this harbor. The development of the . city alto meant the growth of outside i points and on Poreher Island there were 400 postal addressee at one time. The : Idea had been conceived of keeping In i ' touch with these various settlements and rendering whatever service It was pos sible to give. Sometimes It was .neces last trip to au Invalid. He had round that the Isolation which ! many women had been called upon to endure undermined, their health- The husband was often away for a considerable time and left the wife alone and. as a result, the woman often became a nervous wreck. The speaker gave three reasons why the mission boat was called the Northern Cross. There was a northern cross constellation which was visible In the heavens In the summer time about four o'clock In the morning. There was also the Southern Crow, a larger mission crusfers, one of which will be of 10,000 and the other two of 8 000 ' bt Pr,tln ln the othern part and. tAS;?"eJeStr0JerS and -submarines, representing a total 'JtST Christ and the Ideals which this con' Ul itUilU,UVU. VOTE FOR NEW CONSTRUCTION. The vote for new construction, including preliminary work on these vessels and progress with other ships already building, will reach 10,723,000. Including ships covered by the 1927-28 estimates, the following new vessels have been provided for since March, 192L when the first post-war building program was adopted by the Labor government: 12 cruisers of 10,000 tons; 3 cruisers of 8,000 tons; 11 destroyers; 12 submarines; 4 gunboats;. 2 depot ships; 55,000 ton floating dock foi;the new base at Singapore. i The total cost of this new tonnage will be at least 41,000,000; Further, the government' program provides for the ' construction of the following additional vessels between 1928 and 1930 Six crulscrs.-one aircraft carrier, 18 destroyers, 12 submarines, and three auxiliary craft at a cost of approximately 23,000,000. DOES NOT INFRINGE WASHINGTON TREATY. The new construction undertaken since 1924 does not infringe the letter of the Washington Treaty, which applies only to capital ships and aircraft carriers and places jio limit on the building of cruisers and smaller craft, except that 10,000 tons is the limit of displacement. Nevertheless, the construction of so many cruisers and submarines in Great Britain and other countries during the past few years explains the anxiety of the United States to have the Treaty extended tp all classes of naval tonnage, or otherwise Uncle Sam must follow suit.

HOKK KKCOONIZKII The work which was carried on through the medium of this mission boat was both religious and social. From Surf Inlet and Swanson Bay In the south to Alice Arm and Stewart la the north regular calls wercmadr. at all settlemifit and lighthouses, and the' government had recognized this service . to the light houses by exempting the new engine for : the Northern Cross from duty and sales tax. Calls were made at the lighthouses la the mission boat more frequently than 1 by the government tender. At 'some of 1 the places visited, where bachelors lived, there were no other visitors and tti fellowship of their fellowman teemed to be appreciated. He had found some1 great Intellects In some of these out of . . i me way places ana ne was sorry to see i them thus Isolated from humanity. In concluding, the Canon referred to a press report which he had read dealing with the establishment of a sailors' and fishermen's home In the city. While his work did not Include these ln the city yet he felt that Prince Rupert had little at the present time to offer to these men, often without homes, who were in the city for only sh&rt periods it a time. He felt that It would be a good thing for these men to have a home and place where they might come ln contaet with the culture and refinements of life. President C. H. Orme, at the conclusion of the address, expressed the appreciation and thanks of the Rotary Club to Canon Rushbrook for his Interesting and entertaining address.
