Premier
Announces
EDITORIAL
PRINCE
RUPERT
AS
A
MARKET
Prince
Rupert
should
he
the
market
of
the
whole
in-terior
country.
Already
much
of
the
milk
is
heing
shipped
in
from
various
points
and
it
seems
reasonable
to
suppose
that
other
products
of
the
farm
and
garden
could
also
find
a
ready
market
right
here.
Turnips
arc
today
being
shipped
to
Prince
Rupert
from
Yakima
in
the
Stale
of
Washington.
Why
is
this?
There
is
no
place
in
the
world
that
grows
better
turnips
than
the
interior
valleys,
as
has
been
proven
many
times.
Complaints
have
often
been
made
that
the
British
Columbia
farmers
do
not
pack
and
ship
their
products
properly
and
that
the
quality
cannot
be
depended
on.
If
this
is
correct,
it
is
time
for
a
change.
Farmers
of'
the
interior
still
complain
that
Prince
Rupert
merchants
do
not
treat
them
right.
If
this
is
correct,
it
should
be
rectified.
Wc
shall
be
glad
to
hear
from
farmers,
store
keepers
or
joblwrs
as
to
what
steps
might
be
taken
to
bring
about
a
change.
Some
complain
that
freight
rates
arc
prohibitive.
If
this
is
the
difficulty
in
the
way
of
increasing
the
business,
another
effort
!
should
be
made
to
secure
a
reduction
in
the
rates.
I
Wc
suggest
that
CVCry
!
farmers'
organization
a
in
the
district
discuss
this
matter
and
send
in
the
result
of
their
deliberations
with
n
view
to
having
something
done
to
improve
matters.
These
arc
days
when
the
farmer
needs
every
dollar
he
can
get.
The
times
arc
such
that
the
city
dweller
wants
to
get
the
lowest
possible
price
on
his
food
supplies.
By
discussing
the
difficulties
freely
and
openly
it
is
possible
that
the
farmer
may
be
helped
and
that
Prince
Rupert
people
may
be
placed
in
a
position
where
by
buying
near
home
they
may
be
able
to
help
build
up
their
own
part
