All ma rine men are agreed on it, but the Lighthouse Board of ; Canada cannot be made to see the point. They do not seem to realize the local situation. It is useless to outline again the reason why action on this is necessary, except that it seriously affects the business of this port. We should make it so clear to that board and also the marine department at Ottawa that there may ' be no further excuses for holding off. , This is not a question of politics any more than the highway is aquestion of politics, but if we do not get re-, lief it is liable to become a political issue. j It does not matter to Prince Rupert people whether it: is a Liberal or Conservative Government that holds Up the progress of the port. What we want and must have is relief. WEST COAST INDUSTRY The news from the Queen Charlotte Islands that her ring are being successfully cured on the west coast of Moresby Island and is likely to develop into an important I industiw j most satisfactory . The islands have waited a long timefor developments and if they get fish industries there It wi!l help out a great deal. Once1 there is a suf f i-1 cient population on the islands they will get a regular, t almost" daily steamship service and will' be able to"ship i their produce to better effect than is possible today . Peo- j pie who were at one time producing fruit and vegetables , hrive given up trying because of the difficulties.of 'tr'an-i portation. Changes are in the offing. We look to see great happenings on the Queen Charlottes in the Jgxt, few years. r"ii SNOWDEN AND THE CONFERENCE Practically all the powers interested in the late war are ; -rtr.rtr.rf tA a C L rPl TT - 1 ' 1 1 ' icjjicaciiicu hi a cuiuereuire hi, me nague, particularly those that have reparations or other payments to collect. During the life of the late Government a tentative settlement was made along the line of proposals emanating from Ambassador Young, representing United States. Phi'ip Snowden, now chancellor of the exchequer, but then a private member of the House, opposed the arrangement and he is now opposing it at The Hague conference. He claims that preferential treatment is given France and Italy at the expense of Great Britain. ENVIES PEOPLE OF PRINCE RUPERT We have a letter from a resident in New York City which says: "Just incidentally we have been going through an exceedingly trying period of heat in New York, for when the thermometer rises to the nineties considering the humidity which always obtains here New York City is some punishing place. "Up in Prince Rupert the weather must be delightfully vuv " ou'uniuira ewvj jruu aim yuur associates wno are privileged to !ive amid conditions in so many, respects far more enjoyable than is our portion in this big and noisy city."

It is there the supply comes for the Big Bay lumber mill at Seal Gove. When that stand is gone there will be practically none left.- Sitka Spruce, the largest of our spruces, grows only in the iijcb THE fAILY NEWS Thursday, August 8. so-cdlled -fog belt" along the coast of the Pacific Northwest. The tree,s average from . 160 to 2.15 feet in height and from 4 to 6 feet In diameter, but specimens from 8 to 12 feet across at the stumf) are not uncommon. Be cause of its irreat size this tree i nroduces Ltrirp nmountct at clear lumber a larger percemaje of shop and grade" than any other softwood snecjes. The wood itself is quite Wmilar to that of the) eastern species, but due to the! fireater size of the tree It. con-! tains more clear material. I The wood is lisrht In weicrht. .fairly soft, straight-grained, of! uniform texture, and possesses! great toughness and strength in! proportion to its weight. It is well suited for many building purposes, both for Interior and exterior uses, because of its' strength, light weight, ease in "orking, and its freedom fromj nxcessive resin or pitch Sitka spruce is odorless and tasteless, has little tendency for warping, holds nails firmly and can be given treatments with paint or enamels that give it a smooth, velvet-like finish. SJtka Spruce Is well adapted fbl1' use ai siding and is estpeclal? iy popular in the bevel form, A large percentage of the siding Is heartwood and hence has the durability required for such a ise. Because of its stiffness, light weight and strength and its small defects, Sitka Spruce is popular Jn the items of common lumber for house construction such as framing, studding", sheathing, concrete forms', roof boards, etc. Specialty Wood This species is best known as a specialty wood, however, and high on the list of its uses is that of airplane stock.
