IS

that

has
one

the

Doint
On

coast;
that
the
harbor
needs
no
improving
or
dredging
or
other
expenditures
such
as
would
be
necessary
at
any
other
point.
It
is
freely
acknowledged
that
no
railway
can
have
as
good
a
grade
to
the
coast
as
has
the
present
main
line
of
the
Canadian
National
Railway
to
this
port
and
that
the
cost
of
hauling
grain
to
Prince
Rupert
would
be
less
than
to
any
other
port
on
the
coast.
It
is
a
f
act
that
the
port
of
Prince
Rupert
is
already
equipped
with
docks,
grain
elevator,
yards,
lesser
wharves,
supply
houses
and
practically
everything
that
a
modern
port
needs,
yet
it
is
not
used
to
any
appreciable
extent.
It
is
a
fact
that
the
elevator
has
been
allowed
to
almost
go
out
of
commission,
that
grass
grows
in
the
railway
yards,
that
the
deep
sea
dock
has
never
been
completely
equipped
and
often
the
dry
dock
shipyard
is
almost
idle
while
the
business
goes
to
the
private
yards
at
Vancouver
and
Victoria,
this
with
only
a
feeble
protest
from
the
people
of
Prince
Rupert.
Have
the
people
of
the
city
lost
their
pep?
Are
there
no
leaders
left
to
rally
the
people
and
to
bring
before
the
authorities
the
treatment
we
are
receiving?
If
the
old
men,
the
former
leading
citizens
are
dormant,
where
is
the
young
blood?
Why
is
there
no
one
to
raise
the
battle
cry
for
the
rights
of
the
people
of
this
much
favored
but
badly
used
port?
What
is
true
of
the
railway
is
true
also
to
a
large
extent
of
the
highway.
Very
Utile
real
progress
is
being
made.
The
government,
representative
admits
that
it
will
take
ten
years
to
reach
Terrace,
yet
no
word
of
protest
is
heard.
The
highway
is
to
be
fortie'hext'
generation
and
not
for
this.
It
is
said
that
the
Canadian
Pacific
Railway
has
been
anxious
to
use
the
port
of
Prince'
Rupert
butthat
obstacles
have
been
placed
in
their
way.
It
is
difficult
to
get
accurate
information,
so
the
people
of
the
city
lie
back
and
grouse
about
hard
times,
lulled
by
pessimists
that
are
found
in
high
places.
No
effective
action
is
taken
and
there
is
no
attempt
to
make
a
protest.
'
What
is
the
remedy?
Are
we
to
admit
defeat
and
revert
to
the
status
of
a
fishing
village
or
shall
we
at
least
make
our
voices
heard
in
the
governmental
centres?
If
then
we
can
get
no
help,
the
thing
to
do
is
to
organize
the
north
country
into
a
separate
province
as
proposed
on
a
former
occasion
and
followed
up
by
the
Peace
River
people.
As
a
first
move
we
suggest
that
a
public
mass
meeting
be
called
at
which
a
formal
invitation
shall
be
extended
to
the
Canadian
Pacific
Railway
to
make
Prince
Rupert
their
northern
port
and
promising
co-operation
in
the
matter
of
helping
to
secure
such
terms
as
may
be
just.
The
meeting,
should
be
attended
by
a
thousand
people,
representative
of
every
walk
of
life
in
the
city.
It
should
be
such
a
demonstration
as
could
not
fail
to
attract
attention.
It
would
have
to
be
in
the
hands
of
the
enthusiasts
and
not
of
those
who
would
pussyfoot,
fearful
of
hurting
somebody
s
feelings.
The
Daily
News
has
great
faith
in
Prince
Rupert,
but
the
city
will
be
largely
what
the
people
make
it.
If
they
are
willing
to
be
walked
over
they
will
never
get
anywhere.
The
world
must
be
notified
that
we
intend
to
be
a
factor
in
the
life
of
the
north
country,
not
fifty
years
hence
but
immediately.
