Saturday, Feb. 4, 1928 LITTLE PROGRESS YET Little progress has yet been made with the Peace River project but one result has been obtained. It is a concession by the railways that they can work together in construction work, ownership or control. This seems to indicate that if the C.P.R. build railways in the Peace River country, it may be able to ship through Prince Rupert or possibly from Port Edward. With two railways interested here we should be likely to make greater progress than with only a branch of a Vancouver line running a few old engines and cars' Hp this way. The offer of the railways to own and operate jointly seems like a step in the right direction. FALLING DOWN ON MAIL ORDERS One of the big mail order houses announces that business has not been increasing of late and additional efforts will be made to build tt ilp. Efforts lrave bees made to Influence the Post Office departments to give lower parcel post rates and an advertising campaign, is to be started to interest eople In buying by mail. As a matter of fact people are tiring of buying things they have not seen. They are so often disappointed in the goods, in the fit and in the shade, that they have come to realise it is better to pay, a rati more and buy where the goods may be returned or exchanged, where expert fitters can try them on and where they can have the advice of people who know something about the business. That is why it costs more to aell at retell from stores than by mail. Customers demand so much more. They are not content with" carrying home their parcels as they do from th nnt nffini. tw- ihem delivered.

J. Deachman) OTTAWA, Feb 3 -All day long the I storm raced. The drifts Dlled hlsh. The cavalry of the winds and the ar tillery of the wild blasts swirled and swung in mac' rage about the streets. 1 The army of men appointed to keep dean the ways to the House on the j 1II11 battled In stern and fierce en-; deavor. The wind drove the antw Into , their winter garments until they looked j for all the world like walking Images , of snow men. Teams carted the i 'Beautiful"' away yet still it came far Into the night the fierce battle raged. For It la the law of this land .hat the drifts between the House and the barn may dUc ud as bizh aa the Heavens, but the road from Wellington Street to the Senate Chamber must be made smooth as a billiard table bene nth the foot of the men who make the laws. All this remember was the day be-ore! On the opening day Itself, the u n shone forth from clear skies. The snow glistened In smiling mockery of the wrrath of vesterdav. Clear nut :o the Oatlneau Hills in million toned facets of beauty, of light and shade. the sunlight glistened. The 'smoke lifted from r. thousand chimneys clear and cold as Ice Itself. There was a tonic tone to the atmosphere. The Iroat etched Itself in witched and weird tracery of fond and fresco on the window pane. Silhouetted against the Northern sky-line, stood the pile of the Parliament Buildings. Historic I Orandl Memories press and throng! Greatness haa marched within those hails. Who was the greatest? No one knows! Un ions may be mute. Crom wells culltlaaa. OladsUiie silent, while a Parvenu wakes he echoes with his strident tones. The opening this year was the gayest 31 the gay.

Pagentry never loses Its appeal to a Democracy. All such grand occas ions must be military. "When the war drums throb no longer and the battle ilags are furled" Parliaments will slay closed! How could they ever open without the clink of arms, the Hash of sabre, 'the rattle of spurs, battles' mag-nllicently stern array? The House of Commons marches t& the Senate Chamber to hear the King's speech. This gives the cue to the -canon task, but It says little. Mueh matter passes before the Commons and the Kings speech sayeth little. The fcene entrances. There Is Mr. Kins' n resplendent uniform looking like a million dollars. Mr. Bennett in sombre black, who really owns several millions. icon lust about 800.00 less Immacu late though he ta. one ran figure that His tout ensemble Is worth that much lew. And don't forget Mr. Outhrte His is a ststuesque figure. Politics. like tlie stork exchange, is hard on Mrsute adornment and Messrs. Klnv snd Bennet are spare in the thatch. but Outhrte. though thinner as he climbs the ladder of advancing years, 'till occupies a strong place as one of the beat looking gentlemen of the House. There Is little to record In the Speech from the Throne. We are to have Am bassadors in Prance snd Japan, an extra trade treaty or two. some custom. legislation, a mooring mast in Montreal and a few other things So far. so good! But legislation Is really made in the rooms of the nc insert.

And now what? The Opening la over, the members return to tne House ol Commons. Mutual ftlleltations have been expressed among the leaders. The House adjourns thus do we begin a Session of Parliament. The serious matters to come up this year are likely to Include the following: St. Lawrence Canals, good. It la fair to say. for several years of discussion, pro and eon: 'be Budget.

NEW LIBRARY IS SUGGESTED Report of the Kefiring Chairman of the Library Hoard Suggests That Matter be Considered That a new library building will be needed within the next few years and ' that it is time the library bsard was msklng plans with a view to providing for the future ia the opinion oxprenaed by G V Wilkinson explaining his annual report In which he draws attention to the situation. He told the board last night that there was a possibility it m'.gBt have to move from the present site at brief njtlce and that It should have plans made to cope with . situsHon which might sflte. Hat sug-s.'itlcn was that the matter should be :aken up with the city with a view to having a new building erected on the lte of the present reading room which woulev combine ..jbe work of both and would economize in fuel and Janitor work. No action waa taken by the board but It was decided to have the matrer under advisement. The sixth annum halrman's report follows: Twelve regular meetings were held by '.he library board during the year. The library was open for business 343 days during which time 48.306 boaks were! leaned, a daily average ot 117.4 aa against 40.312 loaned during lsas in! which year the dally average was 146.7. tVe have therefore Issued 6,163 additional books during 1927 which is quite a sub-, tantlal Increase m the circulation. I A smaller number of books were! idded to the catalogue this year, 901 , Ming added and 167 withdrawn making net gain of 044 at against a net gain j of 018 in 1M0 There are now Sjn books In the library. The number nf borrowers listed increased from ajl to J.M2. a net gain of 330. A duplicate pay section waa Installed n November and met with Instant ap proval, tne volumes being in constant -irculation. Additional shelf room, waa made rrnind ;the walls of the library and the various sections resvrranged, allowing a ittle room for expansion In each classl-'catlM. The butlcMlkg it m fairly good -ondttlon but. in view of trie possibility .if tne lot on whieh the library stands telng sold, it would be well for the taard to look around for a nermanant location for the library building. Possibly sn arrangement could be made hereby the present men's reading room '.TUld be combined with the library and j i women's reading and rest room added! in the other side.
