CHEAP GOODS HERE Once again we feel constrained to comment upon the cheapness of goods in Prince Rupert.

PROTEST Editor, pajly Jfews: Herewith a little, write-up concerning the Usk-Terrace Highway that the government is spending so much money on this season, and the benefit that it is to the resident of Usk and Terrace. The highway between Usk and Terrnce has been opened fpr the past three monlhs so that cars and trucks can get through making the run pf 12 or 13 miles In about one hour, which. considering the bad hill and two miles of rough road f rpm the ferry to Cple Creek, is very good, put after all there la no use having a road when you cannot get to drive on It except between the hours of 7 and 6 In daytime, and one would think that the government placing men to run the ferry would issue instructions that the ferryman must take the public over the river upon payment of the proper charge (whatever that Is) and they must have a regulation charge but we people of Usk cannot find out just what it Is, nor can we get any service from the ferryman, If we cross during working hours we must listen to all kinds of sarcasm, look at the scowls that are cast our way and get on and off the ferry at the bast of our ability. If the landing Is good It's all right, if it is half a landing It's Just same. worthy of investigation.

Take this tip anlfi!oHii?f!yrtised goods. br.A If we start the engine In our car before the plank Is put down we are told, "You will jolly well wait till I say you can get off this ferry. Then again, If we don't start the engine before the plank is down, we hear, "Are you going to park there all day." Now, dear Editor, would you call that being nice? Now ask you. If you make a trip over the river .yid have to walk up to the river not wait five minutes, but when you get back to the landing before it docks at the other side, it returns fpr you and makes another entry tor ; a trip, which goes to prove that the The House of Commons elected Monday is the seven-'.ferryman is worked too hard and u teenth national legislature created since Confederation, imposed upon.

Bail Team Disappointed We have gone to considerable trouble, spent over $200 to get a baseball team, make a ball grounds and get our equipment together this season, so Uiat we could enjoy the odd Sunday motoring to Terrace for a day out, play a ball game, get beat as usual and return home, then get the odd dollar that the Terrace boys and girls want to spend, have them come over and enjoy a night's dancing with us, and believe me they sure know how to enjoy a dance at Usk and the good time we also have when they show up, a couple ot their musicians always come along and help out with the musical end of Ik, making a real 'orchestra out of what we can pro duce ourselves. If you don't believe it Just come to one ot them or ask the Terrace boys and girls. But again, what's the use. Two dances we put on cars from Terrace laden with fair damsels and their boy friends arrived on the south side of the river, but that's as far as they could get. They listened to the music across the sea and then downhearted returned to their home town, and why. Well I'll tell you. The ferryman was not In good humor, didn't need the money and wouldn't bring them over, even after being told that in the event of any of the Terraec people coming to a dance that didn't pay for crossing, that the baseball team, meaning yours truly, the secretary, would pay the bill if he would turn It In to the ball club. But no again, he doesn't need the money and cannot make the trips. Saturday night, July 26, we had a rare time, a dance ri'e very thing and the baseball club put It on, and again the Terrace crowd took a chance to attend and it It were not for A. A. Macdonald, one of our good friends and baseball supporters, I'm afraid they would have gone home again, and never to return to a dance at Usk. But Mr. Macdenald came through with the loan of an outboard motor boat and made six trips across the Skeena and brought 16 peopU- over.
