We wish them the best of good luck and hope the backers of the concern all of whom are local men, will make plenty of money out of their investment. - This is the day when air travel is being popularized. The best of the year is before the new concern nnd there seems every hope that it may be able to make dividends or increase its capital so that the service it rentiers to the community may be extended. We hope within a few years to see a large fleet of airplanes plying out of Prince Rupert, keeping in close touch with the surrounding country and aiding in its development. Especially useful may it become in connection with mining development on account of the difficult country traversed and the shortness of the season during which operations may be carried on. PESSIMISTIC OVER POOL The Financial News is pessimistic over the future of the Wheat Pool. It says: "The Wheat Pool of Canada is struggling through what nppears to be its latter phases. It has been a gigantic experiment, full of great promise to its supporters, and Canada has backed it sportingly. It may never "be said that either the Canadian people as such, their federal government or the Canadian banks have done other than give the "Wheat Pool and its marketing principles every opportunity to succeed." The News then goes on to give reasons why the Pool is financially embarrassed. Last yedr it advanced 69c on wheat and failed to realize that amount when the wheat was sold. The provincial governments will pay the bill. After this experience it is expected that the banks will not finance them to any considerable extent. Settlements for past years have not "been made. The final paragraph sums up the situation: "Only a miracle can pull the Central Selling Agency (the main wheat pool) through this coining fall and winter alive. What will remain of the Wheat Pool movement will be only the parts that reconcile themselves to the economic laws as they are and function on a practical basis. It is the latter phase of a great experiment. The country is payincr the price of its experience." We hope the prophecy of the Financial News does not come true but that the Pool will continue to function for the belief it of the wheat growers. Prince Rupert is vitally concerned over the situation, because the local elevator is leased by the Pool and should the organization fail the question of operation of the local elevator will again have to be dealt with. 3 Ji Latta (By Gee) JpOR many years, commercial art, advertising and newspaper jot1c have provided favorite fields of activity for 8. J. Latta, who is in charge of publicity for the World's Grain Exhibition and Conference to be held at Rcglns In 1932. Horn in London, Ontario, In n family many of whom were con nected in some way with newspaper and reared on a hundred acre farm in Huron County, Mr. Latta enjoyed the usual educational facilities of his native Province. After publlo school, collegiate at Clinton, London and St. Mary's, and Normal School at Ottawa, Mr. Latta taught chool for a number of years, most of -which time as principal of Old Cotbome Street in his native city. The: lure of the West brought Mr. Latta to Saskatchewan in 1005, where he settled on a homestead in what was then known as "The Famous Last Mountain Valley," north of Reglna. After arriving in the West, however, he became editor and publisher of two newspapers, one of which lie operated for 20 years. Mr. Latta represented Last Mountain In the Saskatchewan Legislature for a number of years and was a member of the Provincial Government for 13 years, during which time he held the portfolios of highways, vducation, and provincial secretary. RECITAL WAS GREAT EVENT Norman Wilks Proved Himself Most Accomplished PVinist and Delighted Large Audience 1 ' . The Norman Wilks recital given last night to a large audience in the United Church is generally acknowledged to have been In advance of anything of the Kind ever heard in Prince Rupert before. It was given under the auspices cf ' the Ladles' Music Club and one of the member of that club writing ot It for the News this mornln says: "The high standard of the Toronto Conservatory was f dlly mainlined when Norman Wilks gav his recital last evening.
