Such action should be immediate and the Canadian interests would not suffer thrpugh the delay. This advice 'was tendered by Leon J.

All IWU lI'H UI A I U J lJUi Mayor Reports Result of Visit to Calgary Regard to Elevator Three Reasons Given by Pool for Neglect of Prince Rupert During the Present Grain Shipping Season this morniner issued the follow- the recent visit to Alberta Wheat Pool headquarters m Calgary of a del- egauon irom me rrince uupert uoara ot Trade and citv council: ''The delegation representing the city council and the Board of Trade, consisting of Aid. F. G. Dawson. M. P. -, , . mcLanery anu mysen, proceeded to tJaigary and was fov- president of the Alberta Wheat - l. T-1 Pool, at L. which t-f-l. a . number 1 of the executives of the pool were in attendance. "Mr. Wood stated very plainly that we need not expect further grain shipments.this season, but said that he fully expected we would receive a-normal shipment of grain through our elevator next season. "The reasons advanced by Mr. Wood for the small amount of grain shipped this season were as follows: "That it was more expensive to ship through Prince Rupert as compared with Vancouver, on account of a 9 pence per ton differential against this port, "That ir w.ts possible to make part shipments through Vancou er and not here. "That they sold more grain this season f.o.b. Vancou ver and so were relieved of further responsibility in connection with such shipments. "The delegation offered many arguments in favor of shipping through this city, but was unable to obtain a more definite promise than the one given, as stated above. "The delegation believes that, if the entrance to Prince Rupert were improved by the placing of two lights, it would be possible to have the 9 pence differential removed and the saving effected in this way would make the shipment of grain through this port cheaper than via Van- couver.
