They are being entertained jointly by the Board of Trade and the Women's Canadian Club at a dinner arill undoubtedly every person who is entitled to attend will do so if possible. When the party went north they were entertained here and Harold McCracken promised to stop off on his return and again meet the people. He is carrying out his promise.. Prince Rupert people, give them a hearty SELLING HYDRO-ELECTRIC We are glad to know from the mayor that negotia tions are proceeding satisfactorily for the sale of the local hydro-electric power plant to a strong financial company and that there is a prospect that development work will proceed in the near future with some more ambitious'power installation which will adequately meet the needs of the community. We suggest, however, that the city should not sell for the sake of getting rid of the plant and franchise but should do so only if the deal is perfectly satisfactory. The city will have to give the final decision by vote. If a good deal is made they will be pretty sure to give their sanction to the sale but there must be a definite undertaking in regard to provigion of adequate power and also as to rates. MAYOR OPTIMISTIC ' Mayor McMordie is very optimistic as to the futuro of the city. So are most people today. There is a gener ally changed feeling toward this matter. Those who a few years ago could see little chance of permanent ad vancement, today feel that there is improvement coming, This improvement will be steady but sure, we think, but of course there may be flurry one of these days, similar to what other cities have had. U.S. ELECTION NEXT RIG EVENT The United States election is the next big event scheduled for this continent. Both sides are claiming victory and doubtless neither can claim the victory as won just now. For the first time in years the south as a whole has become a battleground in the presidential campaign. The most vigorous effort since reconstruction days is being made by Democratic leaders to induce voters to go to the polls in November in support of Governor Alfred E. Smith for president and Senator Joseph T. Robinson for vice-president. Equal endeavor has been put forth by those favoring the Republican nominees. States which usually witness little or no campaign for the Republican ticket, this year see Hoover and Curtis clubs organized along state and county lines. In some states, self-styled "anti-Smith Democrats," many of whom are opposed to Smith's stand on prohibition, have withdrawn their support from the national ticket and announced their intention to seek the election of a "dry" candidate for president, irrespective of party linos. Some among this group openly have aligned themselves with Republican forces in the national campaign. Others, however, have emphasized that while they are working for the election of Hoover, they will vote for dry Democratic congressional and state candidates. This November will mark a departure, if present indications prove true, from the perfunctory voting which has made presidential elections heretofore largely a formality in the traditionally "solid south." fgfw ' KILLS FLIES " MOSQUITOES nrcn nuns ants w 11 Man in the Moon Have you met the members of the Stoll-JIcCracken exploration party?
