Mr. Hanson had held out for the installation of the lights as against proposed automatic radio beacons against which the chief objection was that most steamers, particularly ocean going tramp vessels, were not equipped to use them. Mr. Hanson had informed the Department of Marino triarrtrrt wtoiM not be satisfactory although he hid no objection to their being installed in addition to the lights. The telegram received by Mr. Hanson from Ottawa read as follows: "Interested department officials have been absent from Ottawa and it has been impossible to secure earlier advice for you. Chief engineer's office now advises its intention to erect on Bonilla Island a concrete tower with Hashing apparatus, fog alarm building with dlaphone equipment and other necessary buildings and an unwatched light on Butterworlh Rocks."

Pattullo, Liberal leader, in a statement yesterday, said in part: "I notice that Premier Tolmie has announced that a stand of timber on Vancouver Island, known as "Cathedral Grove;" is to be preserved for park purposes. I would like to point out that this timber is not at present in the ownership of the province but is held privately and will have to be purchased by the province. I am very much in sympathy with the setting aside of suitable areas for park purposes. I am pointing out, however, that the statement as published, would lead the public to believe that this is an area already owned by the the province whereas the area will have to be purchased and the money raised out of taxation.

The Political Corne Wednesday, July 9, 1930 No. 24. A Warning to Mr. Brady Mr. Brady In his speech in Prince Rupert on June 17 said that the Liberal Government In 11 years had "annihilated" the agricultural industry. He said "Canada's fields are desolate." Mr. Brady knows that there Is notone word of truth in this. He cannot surely be'so Ignorant of the ordinary business affairs of Canada after having spent four years t Ottawa. If he does not know, then his words should condemn him to private life forever ai a man incapable of learning the most commonplace matters of public business. Sir Thomas White, a Minister of Finance In the former Conservative Government and now vice-president of tho Canadian Bank of Commerce, in a recent report stated that for the period In question Canada had produced an unprecedented quantity of farm products for export, and that this remarkable expansion of Canadian industry was not confined to agriculture alone. Sir Charles Gordon, President of the Bank of Montreal, at the annual meeting In December, 1929, said: "In reviewing the commercial situation in Canada, it should "be kept In mind that there have been five years of almost unln- iterrupled' expansion. In that brief period Canada has achieved a "degree of development quite unprecedented. Not in one or two ' "directions, but practically In all, remarkable material progress "has occurred In agriculture, in many lines of manufacturing, "etc, etc." The Canadian Bank of Commerce Monthly Report for June. 1930 shows that Canada's Increase In wheat production of 1928 over 1925 was 35 (desolate fields .Indeed!); In livestock production, cattle, swine and sheep',' 4 ; and In the coarse grains rye, oats and barley. 21,,,, . .,.. fi J.r Wo are compelled to serve a warning upon Mr. Brady that he is not going to be allowed to "get away" with this sort of thing. If he will not take the trouble to inform himself and thtn give us the truth with regard to ltt this Political Corner will continue to pillory him until he does. This matter of sending a man to Ottawa to look after our bu!iinea interests and to help us save our Investments in the north Is too serious a one for us to allow any person to mislead the electorate In this way.
