Providence has been kind in granting to the district wealth in its natural resources far exceeding that of the storied Indies or the ElDorado of the early discoverers.

What more could be asked? It is because, of these things that the Daily Newsbas time and again statedjts belief that Prince Rupert has greater prospects 'of -advancement than any other city of its size on the cohtin-' ent of North America.

All local basic industries are affected adversely but that is a passing phase. Local people are showing faith in the city by taking advantage of the low cost of building. Visitors declare times are better in Prince Rupert than in most other cities. Times have changed and all must adjust themselves to the changed conditions, but for those who stay on the job and work with brain and hand the future looks rosy. m I ill M 1 II Hi f1Tlirr uri n l r I i i i IT.
