Placing the population at an estimated ten millions this country leads the world in favorable trade balance per capita. The country ranks second in exports and in total volume of trade fifth in the ten leading countries. " Until recently Canada was a borrower biit not a lender. Today Canada lends money to the world and many foreign investments in this country have been repurchased and are now held by Canadians. Canadians now control many branch stores in the United States and at least one big mine. They also have branches in Great Britain and English businesses are coming under Canadian control. All this indicates a growing influence in the world and a more general interest among Canadians of world affairs. Tins YEAR'S RECORD The volume ofVbusiness turnover today is higher than it has ever been, which means that the people of the country have money to spend. Auto sales in particular are mounting up. One hundred new factories have been opened in Canada since the beginning of the year and approximately nine irandred qthers have been extended. And so far the grain crop has hardly been felt. With a grain crop of over half a billion bushels, the largest ever harvested, there is bound to be stable prosperity, espec ially in the prairie regions-, for some time to come. Following such a year there is always a great influx of farmers and others to the prairies and the future production will be provided for in increased acreage. There have been increases in building and construction, more railway building than for years, increase in electric power output and the mining outlook is one that seems to be keeping pace with the huge crop and the other advancement. Railways have increased their earnings and nothing but an unforseen catastrophe can seriously affect the progress of the country for some time to come. WHAT OF THE NEWSPAPERS? In view of all this advancement in other businesses what is the position of the newspaper?? In the large centres the newspapers have increased in size and influence and their value as advertising media. They have expanded their circulations and are recognized now as the only effective means of reaching the people of the country. In British Columbia there are only twelve newspapers in seven centres, of which Prince Rupert is one, that are recognized by the big distributors for advertising purposes and of these only seven have properly audited circulations. Of these the Daily News is the only one in Princovllupert. NEWSPAPER AUDITS Some time this month an auditor representing the national advertisers is expected to arrive in the city to investigate the circulation of this paper. He will be brought here at considerable expense to us because we know that we have a business proposal to lay before the people of the country and we know that he will find the distribution figures as they are or ought to be. If they are not he will find it for he is an adept at finding flaws in paid circulation figures. He will report to every big advertiser in Canada, and on his report the advertising is apportioned. Any newspaper that refuses to undergo the crucial test is not looked upon with favor by the advertisers. The audit is the great protection they have against papers with padded circulation or with little circulation. The reason this paper carries the bulk of the advertising is because it has the circulation. This has been true for years but the extra effort this year has placed it in an enviable position which is recognized everywhere. Advertise in "The Daily News" TERRACE F.

Eastern British Columbia greeted Its western brothers! Markets and railways were brought closer to the farmer, the miner, the industrialist. New fields for agricultural and trade development were opened up. For the ten years Just past, an aggressive highway programme has been carried out. Thousands of miles of good roads and dozens-of sturdy bridges have been built. Our roads nystem now totals 31,900 miles . . . an increase of over 5,000 miles during the last ten, years. Of this mileage, 12,000 miles are earth' roads; 4,000 gravel roads; and 1,000 macadam, bituminous, concrete and cement concrete. The 5,000 miles which were added to our roads system include: 884 miles of main trunk roads, 602 mile of luteral roads, 281 m es of industrial and mining roads, 1,133 m e, of settlement and farm roads, and 2,000 miles of ordinary and mlnkig trails. During the years just before 1917, n large number of bridges had been constructed in the 1 rovlnce, nearly all of which were temporary timber structures. Since 1917, the problem of maintenance and renewal of these structures has been a serious one, involving a large expenditure, particularly between the years 1920 and 1927. The policy has been to improve design of and workmanship on temporary bridges and to renew all the large bridges on main highways over the principal rivers with conci ef d and steel.
