The white man does not wish to become yellow. That throws the Orientals together and makes them a peculiar people, still remaining Oriental even after the second and third generartion. The Oriental is that because he can not become anything else. We will not let him. It is because of the unfairness both to the Oriental and to ourselves of a condition which is bourn! to JeatUo racial difficulties that we strongly favor Keeping up the bars against Asiatics. It does not mean that they are inferior. It may even moan that we are inferior, for we are inferior in many respects. It simply is the best solution of a difficult problelm. 8 Full Speed Ahead Soon Many people do not realize -that the Northern Power Company, a subsidiary of the Power Corporation of Canada, is really constructing a large hydro-electric plant to serve the city of Prince Rupert and adjoining territory. The site for the plant is being prepared and the right-of-way for the high-power lines connecting Big Falls on the Ecstall River with the city is being cleared and that during September next it is expected to turn on the power from the first unit. What does this mean to Prince Rupert? It means that iie -largest power corporation of Canada' has faith in the future of the city and district and already sees a market for its product. Under the impetus of the new movement, Prince Rupert will grow. Industries will be developed and all will feel the benefit. Prince Rupert people must prepare for the change. New buildings will be necessary. If there.arefno.va-cant houses in the city today, what will be the condition. when people begin to come in? The Qaily News.is alive Aoihe3it-.uation and is laying its plans. Others must do the same if they are tp heep pace with the new Prince. Rupert. WllLri 13 UUilCillCU, WIW a. i.vnav new construction possioie . We do not agree that the Peace River must be crossed at Peace River town, but contend that the crossing at Hudson Hope Is cheaper, and. further, a line there is In close prox imity to the well known and valuable coal deposits of that district. But the Hudson Hope crossing Is of course much further west, and although routes in that direction would afford much the shortest haul to tidewater for the greater part of the district, and would tend to conduct traffic along natural lines, yet the adoption of any of .them would not meet the wishes of . those who desire the port of Van-, ccuver to secure the lion's share -of the traffic with the Peace. "It Is obvious that the MonkmanJ Pass route is far to the south, and its advocates concede that another outlet for the country north of the i Peace must be provided. j Wp d not believe it is necea-j sary to provide two distinct and, separate systems for the district, with two outlets. Rather, we be-i lieve one outlet will suffice, at least for many years, If run as nearly as . possible from the centre of the district and fed by branch lines. Freijht .Kates "Freight rates on wheat to a Pacific coast outlet will be fixed by operating costs over the first outlet built. If that outlet gives a shorter , haul than any line subsequently built, ihen the newer line would have tp meet the first rates established, and the situation would be satisfactory from Uie wheat grower's point, of view. "But if the first line buUt means a considerably longer haul to tidewater than could be obtained over some other route, and a line be subsequently built over such a short ro.ute, rates fixed by operating costs over the first and longer line would govern, and the railway company, not .hc wheat grower, get the benefit of the lower cost of transportation over the shorter line. Hence it Is all to the interest of the settlers of the Peace River district to have the first outlet that one which will afford the shortest haul and cheapest freight rate to tidewater. "That the above contenUon is true Is evidenced by existing rates on grain to the Pacific coast, which have been fixed on the basis of costs to the C. P. R., notwithstanding the fact that on account of much better grades,' operating' costs in British Columbia arejnuch lower on the C. N. R. than on the c. r. r. "Manifestly in a district so large, with existing 'natural conditions, different sections will to a certain extent have different interests, but that solution of this railway problem should be" adopted which will be of the greatest benefit to the whole district. Since it is known that considerably the greatest productive area lies north of the Peace River, it seems Irrational to scrl- handles. Each TORONTO, Jan. 88: Canon!
