Prince Rupert was ready to submit important evidence before the Railways Commission during its visit to the! coast but the commission did not think it nf Riiffir-innt im. portance to come here. Also there is a line of railway over which it is suggested there may be running rights' given to each of the big companies, but that made no difference to the commission. Northern British. Columbia had no interest for them. And yet we fancy we can see the day when both railways and politicians will be anxious to visit the section of country between Prince Rupert and Red Pass. Vancouver and Victoria will not always be looked upon as British Columbia. The north will yet come into its own in spite of the attitude toward it of the people in the south. STANDARDIZATION OF TEXT BOOKS One of the standing grievances of British Columbia parents has been the high cost of text books for the children attending schools. While the provincial government provides free books for some subjects in the grade schools, when it comes to the high schools, the parents buy them all and they are very expensive, It would not be so bad if there were some attempt to stabilize and standardize the school books. At present different books are used in the different provinces with the result, that the cost is higher and pupils moving from one province to the other have to buy a new set of books. Books are changed often and only in a few cases can be handed dmvn frnm rtnp mpmhpr nf the fumWv in annthar Tf umii - ..... j w V rVWWC to th average ratepayers as if the whole system should be remodelled. REFUSE TO SPEND The ratepayers of Vancouver refuse to spend any money. They voted down the bylaws put before them this week, thus registering their opinion that the present was not the time for municipalities to make any expenditures that could be avoided. Prince Rupert, unfortunately, is in a somewhat similar condition. The present state of the money market makes it absolutely necessary that the city curtail expenditures to the fullest possible extent. There is no alternative. The coming year, no matter what council is elected, will he a lean one so far as city expenditures are concerned. THE DAILY NEWS.

CHRISTMAS OPERETTA Illth School Pupils Give Acceptable Entertainment In "Lady of Terrace" Last night, at the Moose Hall, the High School presented their Christ-mac operetta. "The Lady of the; Terrace" to a full house. j The story, set in Ireland, Is woven ; round an Irish legend of lost Jewels land beautiful visions appearing in ' the moonlight, and the fortunes of Oerald Crauamont, the young heir i of an impoverished estate. The j principal cast was well supported i by a strong chorus of Irishmen and j girls who. with their character i dresses oi green and orange and I brown, and their bright songs and j dances did much to carry the story along. Particularly bright were the choruses "Bills. Bills," "We're Irish I Now For Aye." "Tipping." and "You I Must Do as the Irish Do." 1 Bert Cameron, as Oerald, sang ! remarkably well In "I'm Feeling I Blue," and in the theme song "Lady of Yesteryear." while Betty Cameron, as his aunt.

Peggy. Gerald's gay young sister, showed she could keep Clarence "guessing" with her brizht reoartee and swing ing song "I Love All the Boys." She also sang "You Must Do as the Irish Do," supported by the chorus and an Irish Jig by a pieked group nf boys and girls. The servants' of the home. Dennis (Bob Moxley) and roa wife.

In these songs she is sud- ported by a special chorus In blue i and bllver dresses. She and Gerald I fall In love and, anally she is instrumental in finding the miming i jewels, which Oerald and she decide ' shall remain in the Craugmonl family. i During the Chandlers stay the virion on the Tenace appears. Margaret Anderson, as the Lady of the 1 Terrace, glides gracefully across the i stage, humming a sweet refrain. "Mist Made of Moonljeams " which is taken up by the chorus. Two little 1 pupils of Miss Craig's. Gloria de ! Wolf and Nona Hodgson, add much j to the effectiveness of this chorus by a most graceful toe dance. Miss Craig also taught the other dances given during the operetta. The villain of the piece Is Qer-ald's Uncle Michael the Sauire.
