D. Pattullo, member for Prince Rupert, in a statement' mae here yesterday indicate ed that he would demand; from the Tolmie government that full publicity be given to all oriers-in-council. These are the orders passed by the provincial cabinet and tdgned by the lieutenant-governor. Once they are passed, Mr. Pattullo claims that they should be open to 'the public. The Tolmie government acknowledged the rig.t, of the leacer of the opposition to see the orders and accepted Former Premier MacI.ean as the leader. On his departure for Ottawa, Dr. MacI.ean designated Mr. Pattullo to exercise the right for him, and this Mr. Pattullo says, will be done. However, this does not satisfy Mr. Pattullo. He claims and will urge his claim on the floor of the legislature that every citizen has a right to know w hat orders are passed, and the members of the legislature have the right to examine them at any time during proper office hours.

Canada for First Time Exercises Her Right as4pdependent NatipnJYithin Commonwealth of the British Empire' OTTAWA, Jan. 3.--The year 1929 opened here officially yesterday by a wholly new departure in statecraft on the'part of Canada. A treaty was signed by Rt. Hon. W, L. Mackenzie King, premier of Canada, on behalf of His Majesty King George. This is the first occasion the Canadian prime minister has signed a treaty as chief adviser to Hi3 Majesty in regard to Canadian affairs under the equal status provisions set forth at the last imperial conference. It marks the advent of Canada as an independent nation in the British Commonwealth, subject only to the King, but wholly independent of the British cabinet. The treaty was one between United States and Canada enabling power plants at Niagara Falls to tnkn mnrc water out of Niacrara River while, at the same time, protecting the scenic beauty of the falls.

Another effort is to be made by this city to capture the fresh halibut market from Prince Rupert. For several years the attack was led by Josiah Strong, who planned to build up this city as a fishing centre and have all halibut shipped to the eastern market, first packed in ice and boxed here. One of the schemes was to have a car-ferry operated between this port and Prince Rupert in order to avoid re-handling of the fish at Pririce Rupert. Telling of the recent move the Ketchikan, Alaska, Chronicle, says: A vigorous campaign to bring the market for fresh halibut and n i MWITIJAI I salmon to Ketchikan will be cr- (j. ) KltllULL ried on by the Commercial Club during 1929, it was decided at a in AHT IMIf'TIp dinner meeting at the Blue Fox ) flJj j Cafe.
