Not knowing anything about naval strategy, it is not for us to express any opinion of this action, but it has been suggested that perhaps the Stations will be moved to the Pacific. It would seem as if they might be needed on this coast more than on the other, but even there we must admit naval ignorance. Should it be decided to abandon naval stations on the Atlantic, then the harbor of Prince Rupert would seem to a mere layman to offer all kinds of possibilities as a port that could be used for naval purposes with advantage. F. G. DAWSON SELLS The news that F. G. Dawson is selling his wholesale business comes rather suddenly, but happily it does not mean the removal of the head of the firm from the city. Mr. Dawson states that he is remaining in Prince Rupert because he still has business interests here and because his home is here and he likes tp ' live here. These are all good reasons. Mr. Dawson still believes in the future of Prince Rupert andjs not willing to relinquish the idea otbenefiting from the growth of the city and taking part in its Explanu'tions are -waited energy' If' they are -needed silence 'Hf best ;;nd if theyre.nSt needed why CENTRE OP SENSATIOJ woj ? ' Arigelus Temple at Los Angeles has provided sensations for the western world for many years. If it is not the pastor, Aimee Semple McPherson, it s her mother, and sometimes they combine to flaunt themselves in the gaze of the public. So far they have escaped the clutches of the law, although they seem to have had narrow escapes. The wires brought yesterday a new charge against the evangelist made by other pastors of the Temple of misappropriating funds. It must be an unhappy condition when the members of the organization are continually airing their differences in the manner mentioned. The dumb often look wise and the wise look dumb, so why try to be wise or determine to be dumb? WEALTH ATTRACTIVE . The Peace River country probably has more natural wealth than any other section of the Canadian prairies. While this has been known for many years, it is only now being fully realized, and tnb result is that many schemes are being hatched to try t(j secure a portion of the wealth. Schemes galore have bee'h formulated, but none so far have come to fruition. The farmers of the Peace object to being made the subject of all these outsidf plans and especially of immigration schemes. They say that all they need is transportation and the fume of the country will do the rest. They want a western outlet, but prefer it should go westward instead of southerly They cast their eyes across to Prince Rupert and fee it is the port with which they should tie up. What will happen no orie can say. The big railways are not quite ready to build the western outlet, and, in the meantime, there is a possibility of someone else undertaking the work, which should be theirs.

CHASE'S SYRUP OF LINSEED AND TURPENTINE There are now some 150 men in employment at' the ' local dry dock and the payroll amounts to close to $600 per dav. Sometimes the benefit of this plant to the port may ; not be fully realized. There progress or about to commence at the yard renovation ; of the steamer Prince William for coast service of Canadian National Coast Steamships, construction of four i large scows for the Vancouver Tugboat Co., Ltd., and building of a steel tug and barge for use of the Canadian National Railways on Okanagan- Lake. These three contracts alone represent about $300,000 worth of work, this being apart from the or dinary run of repair and commer- cial work at the dock. Prospects! are that the plant will continue to be quite as busy throughout the coming winter. Renovation work on the Prince William, in progress now for several months, continues In full swing and, while the vessel now looks at her worst owing to the torn-down condition, she should soon begin to take on the appearance of a very attractive little ship. Steel work is being replaced and tanks and machinery overhauled. Under construction in the shiD shed Is the ! house work, which will be later ln- stalled with a crane. The four scows for the Vancou-, ver Tugboat Co. are being built in ; pairs under the canopy of the big snip snea. me nrsi iwo are nearly (completed and will be i i sidewavd about the middle of next week, being finished and ready for : delivery south a few days later. A start will then be made on the other two, which will be ready for launching early next month. The scows are each 110 feet long with width of 33 feet and 9' 6" depth. In each are twelve huge 8" 8y 18" fir tim- ""teiiiflJ M j specially milled In the south for j I the Job In each scow is 145.000 i feet oi lumber.

The Uug is to be seventy-seven feet long; and equipped with a 300 h.p. Oard-' ner iuji delsel engine. The barge Is to be 185 feet long with capacity for eight loaded freight cars. As delivery is not called for until July 1 next year, this work will call for few if any additional men at the plant. After fabrication here, the tug and barge will be taken knock down to Kelowna. where they will I fte assembled next year. Minor work at the yard Includes i the overhaul of the Canadian Fish i i; as Cold Storage Co.'s fish packer Chief Zibassa, which stranded at ; ! the first of the week.

The Letter Box CAUSTIC CUITICISM Editor, Daily News: Please allow me space for a remark or two on your leader of October 9. You have no right to borrow any of the prestige of the Old Country Labor party for Tom Moore or that part or the Canadian movement represented by him. They are utterly too far apart In principle and program as well as leadership. Further let me suggest that you get an up-to-date cut of Mr. Moore. The one you printed on the ninth inst. does not do him ustice at all. He has developed away out and beyond that cut. That mu3t have been taken years ago. He Is a strong example of his kind. The labor boss pre senting both sides; sitting easy ana enjoying it, possiDie in Canada or U. S. not in the Islands.

Grass Fertilizer ny our rmi.osoriiEit A disquisition on "The Hass' sometimes known as the Burro. Everybody knows what a donkey is an ass, of course! Now an ass may be called a donkey, a moke, a burro, the ancestor of a mule or anything else you like, accord tng to your geographic location .or your state of mind for the time , being. But he remains an ass. Now from all this, you'd think an ass was an ass the world over. But apparently not. At least, not al ways, In England, anyway, or among the English people. They call him commonly an "awse." Not an '"oss" mind you but an "awse." If you are very particular, you might spell It "ahse." But If you are not particular at all, you win get by. oy caning nam a "iiaas. Not a "h-awse" mind you, nor yet an "hahse" but just a plain "Hass." Maybe you can distinguish the dlf lerence. You don't need a tonic sol-fa ear either if you ever heard it once. And no matter how you pronounce it, either ass, awse, ahse or hass, anyone from England will understand you. Anyway, there's quite a dust being raised in England over this matter of the ass. And what brought It up was the radio broadcast announcers. The London announcers called -the ass a "hass." The Oxford man calls him "awse." Farther north he's an "ahse" but Its right north of the three ridings before the ass sounds like an ass. Now in these days of the Empire, neither London nor Oxford set the standard of pronunciation of the King's English. Of course, both London and Oxford call the Derby the "Dah'by." But In these days, the majority of English speaking communities cull a spado a spade, and the Derby the Derby. And In Scotland and where they are accused of speaking puro English, it's even the 'Der-r-rby." And you can lose your money In backing your favorite there as fast as anywhere else. But to return to the ass, who does not run at Ensom. It will be a relief to know that after all anl asc is an ass. For the British tJiuuutaai, vsuiiijaiiy w-w nave instructed their announcers that ass rhymes with lass and to be governed accordingly. This of course Is no news for the other residents of the Empire north of England, although It will be a : ; " r ; V.'
