A! person who voted in thejlast provincial election would be! automatically a voter, '.thig time. Those who did not vote at, the last election will not beion the list. In order to make i sure, it is well to investigate. The list is at the court house and any porson jart lister there any time during office hours. "';'' "" ELECTION THIS YEAR The rumor comes from Victoria that an election will be held this year. If so everyone should be in a position to .vote when the time comes. A recent arrival from Victoria states that the Tolmie Government has had to face adverse financial conditions this year and it has been found very difficult to balance the budget. Next year will be worse from a governmental viewpoint, so it is very likely that the prediction as to the election will prove true. 1 FISH ARRIVING Yesterday was the" biggest halibut day Prince Rupert has had thip year: Unhappily the difference over the sharing of the catch his kept mosf of the Seattle fleet tied up with the result, that little. halibut has been coming to Prince Rupert in American bottoms. With the settlement of that difference the whole fleet will be out and once more this port will become busv. While no fish have been sold to the former buyers at this port, Ketchikan boats have been selling freely to several of the old companies at that port and-, getting good prices. At the week-end the price was, fpurtqen cets for! first class fish.

' ' CONT)ITTON OF HIGHWAY Numerous complaints are being made on the bad condition of the highway across Kaien Island. The section of it within the city is well kept and cars run smoothly over it. Beyond the city limits the trouble begins and does not end until the other side of the island is reached. As this is the only piece of provincial highway in this part of the district, complainants say they think it should be made passable for ordinary traffic.

Series- of Building Plans Begins in This Issue The building season is here once more and the Daily News has made arrangements to publish Weekly! a series of plans for houses, some of j which will be found to be suitable to local conditions. Others will possibly give prospective builders ideas which may help them in drawing their own plans. The plans are made in Toronto and brick is specified more often than would be desirable in Prince Rupert. This may always be replaced by stucco, which is particularly "well adapted to the climate here. The cost of erection as given by the architect seems quite high, equally as high as the cost would be in Prince Rupetr for similar buildings. The idea in publishing these plans is to encourage Prince Rupert people to own their own homes instead of depending upon renting. This not only makes for stability but it also encourages well kept homes and is in line with the movement to beautify the city. L- zSF3fatt ' - ' M - An Artistic English Bungalow D. E. KERTLAND, Architect There are bungalows and bungalows. That Is rather a strange statement but to use another expression to explain It, there are two classes of bungalows. One type always presents a crestfallen appearance. Whether surrounded by other plans. Evidently the architect has studied the possible requirements : of a family whp would be likely to make a home in this class of hoose.
