After another day on the debate of ' the estimates of the post office department, it was finally passed for the committee of supply last night. The total voted for outside service was little less than $35,000,000. - J. C. Brady of Skeena riding drew the attention of Mr. Veniot to more frequent mail services in northern British Jolumbia. Many representations, he said, had been made to Mr. Veniot both by himself and the Associated Boards of Trade of that district, but so ; far no result was manifest. He noted in cities and urban centres I'D!

It was a case of "to t him that hath, much shall be given ; but to him that hath not, nothing." So long as the district superintendent was in Vancouver, there was little hope of relief in northern British Columbia, Mr. Brady said. The port of Prince Rupert is in a splendid strategic position for airplane service between Seattle and Alaska, he declared. He asked that a daily baggage car mail service be instituted from Ed monton to Prince Rupert. Mr. Veniot said that this was the first time the matter had been asftously placed beforo him. Ho promised to go into it carefully. VANCOUVER WHEAT VANCOUVER, May 4: Wheat was quoted on the local exchange today at $1.17-Y4.
