U !.i.LJWl..ll.l HECATE STRAITS LIGHTS Many people have been wondering who is responsible for preventing the proper lighting of Hecate Strait, thus giving Prince Rupert a proper outlet southward to the ocean. Apparently the lighthouse board, or whatever their name, is opposed to doing the work and refuses to give way. At one time they converted our member, J. C. Brady, to their point of view and he argued strongly n favor of the Dixon Entrance beacons insteaff'of the twd lights the! Board of Trade here asked for. Since that the member seems to have been converted to the Prince Rupert view. We do not think the local member is the nigger in the proverbial woodpile. It is someone higher up. They all talk us fair enough when they come here but there must be a traitor in the camp somewhere. Beware when all people agree with you. downfall is imminent. Your There is another matter that is being taken up with the federal government which it is expected they-willrconsider more favorably than the Hecate Strait, lights apd that, is a new federal building for Prince Rupert, V ! For many years the post office has been houseil in a rented building, something that is not customary in a city of the importance 'of. Prince Rupert, especially when it is the centre oi a huge territory like this, lpe customs house alone caters to more than two-thirds of the province of British Golumbia. There is the fisheries department,! hehd of the moat important fisheries district in!. department is a most important one ant marine could well be represented on this MueW xhc ht Thn there should be a Dominion taxation otfice hen an engineering department but there is notolace to 1 idifa tmnt i i rot b and iiousd them. Under these circumstances no one can deny that a new post office is badly needed in Prince Rupert, and the local people are well advised in pressing for it. It's all right to be on a solid footing, but who wants to hoof it these days? MARITIME REVIVAL What are known as the Maritime Provinces of Canada, really the eastern maritimes, are feeling the effect of a revival in business. Today we received a copy of the Freder-icton Daily Mail telling of the opening of the new pulp and paper and power installation on the St. John Rive,r at Grand Falls, Dalhousie. Speaking of this, iHon. C. D. Richards, minister of lands and mines for New Brunswick says:. "Never before has anything contributed so much toj ongnten the business horizon in New 'Brunswick a3 successful completion of these two great enterprises the development of the hydro-electric power at Grand Falls by Saint John River Power Company and the construction of New Brunswick International Paper Company's first newsprint mill at Dalhousie. , "The most modern plant of the kind that engineering skill can devise and by far the largest newsprint mill in the Maritime provinces, this ne.w mill at Dalhousie brings to the shire town of Rostigouche County and to that whole section of the province a guarantee of continuing and substantial prosperity previously unknown, which will be reflected throughout the entire province of New Brunswick. "The utilization of our Walsrndwers. for the comnlete anufacture of forest nrodiicts within the nrnvinre is :ontributing and will continue' to contribute verv substan. tially to New Brunswick's nrosneritv. Nnt nnlv will lm-cm quantities of logs be diverted from the long lumber industry to be more completely manufactured into paper, but vast quantities of raw material formerly left in the woods on the Restigouche River Watershed to be wasted because unsuitable for the manufacture of savn lumber will no,w be brought out in our pulpwood operations and utilized In our pulp and paper mills. Then again, this will provide an additional home market for 150.000 cords of wood from privately owned lands now annually exported from the province in an unmanufactured state. In fact tho pulp-wood exported is more than enough to supply the entire needs of the Dalhousie mill with itslnitial installation for an output of 250 tons of newsprint per day." Some people consider themselves in the swim when they are really in the soup. HE. MILLER Veteran Inspector of Customs peranniinted Atier 47 C.00Jbe .) .!; HONORED years'! Service,)-, . Su- E.
