It is dahned that ajwrawiafnU are too high in the city but ft is counterclaimed that this is do time to try to et values for real estate when eveiything is abnormal and there it tattle sale for anything. As long as the rabies are equitable it matters little whether or not they may be above or below actual setting prices. In Edmonton the city is asking for a revision of the charter to provide that instead of it being necessary to assess at aetual value the assessment mo be in proportion to the respective value of other properties. It is also suggested there that the court of revision should be composed of three experts whose decision should be subject to anneal to a juoge ox tne supreme court. THE PUBLIC LIBRARY The pubKe library has just completed another year of service to the community. It is housed in a small and rather dingy building but the number of books handled exceeds that of any other of it size or with a similar staff. With eight thousand books on the shelves, including most of the daisies and a number of the modern volumes, the demand is steady and good reading is encouraged. During a time like that through which we are passing wnen some people nave not even tne price to attend a movie, the library Particularly useful in providing recreation for the people. The newer books ae watched for eagerly and manv also ead the hooks vh'wh haw rrtH the test of time. Possibly the greatest work the library does is in providing reading matter for the young people of the city. During the year seventeen thousand books of a juvenile nature were borrowed and the groundwork of a classic education was thus laid. The hope of the librarv board is that sufficient funds 11 1 1 .1 win oe provKiea aunng tne coming year to enable the ffood work to rtraceeA without cwV With half nt ttw tA.

Yours for eocialitm. j M. ANDERSON. , Advertise in the laMy News. THT DAH.T KCm Wednesday.. January Prin ce THE FRONT DOOR OF THE PEACE RIVER COUNTRY Economy is the keynote of all activities today. No money is expended unless it is looked upon as an absolute necessity. It is at a time like this when the advantages of the Pacific outlet to the sea should be recognized by ail Canadians. It is the hope of a very large section of the country, particularly of that new and rapidly growing young empire through which the Peace River flows. PRINCE RUPERT WAS BUILT TO BE THE WESTERN OUTLET t the logical point from which the. grain of the Peace should be shipped. There are other points which might be made available but the railway is already built into Prince Rupert from Edmonton by the best grade of any line on the continent. The port is already here and a fine elevator ready to receive the grain. No expense is necessary except for the piece of rail-way connecting the existing Peace River railways with the main line of the Canadian National at some point between Hansard and the coast. With that operated jointly by the two big railway companies and with the C. P. R. granted suitable running privileges over the C. N. R. to enable them to do business on an equality with their competitor, the business of hauling grain to the Pacific by the best possible route can commence. While this is a time when strictest economy is being practised every where, it is a time when the employment of labor in a large way is eminently desirable. Men are out of work and must be fed. The reasonable thing would be to set them to work on big undertakings of a productive nature and this Peace River Pacific outlet is one that lends itself to the purpose, especially if one of the longer and more economical routes such as that to Hazelton should be adopted. SETTLERS ARE STILL POURING INTO THE PEACE COUNTRY x The towns are growing into cities and the villages into towns. The people are a unit in demanding a western outlet and they have adopted the Prince Rupert attitude which is that it be built by the most feasible route to the coast. The location of this route means everything to the country. If it should be built south instead of west and should go by a tortuous route with mountain grades instead of by way of a perfect water grade to the sea, it would mean that high freight rates would be set to enable the railways to earn dividends under the difficult Circumstances. A case in point is that of the C. P. R. which wasbuilt through the difficult Kicking Horse Pass and as a result of which a mountain differential had to be established. It would be little short of a crime to place a permanent embargo on all western shipments from the Peace River country, especially at a time when people are looking for the most economical way of carrying on the business of the country and enabling the farmers to compete with grain growers in other countries to the best advantage. The interests of the grain growers should be paramount. Any line that is built should be for the purpose of serving them and not to advantage any particular port or district. PRINCE RUPERT IS THE PORT OF THE WESTERN ROUTE for the products of Northern Alberta and British Columbia. The port has one of the finest harbors in the world, open all the year round and easily accessible from the ocean. It has one of the most up-to-date elevators suited for terminal shipping purposes. It has docks suited for deep sea shipping, a large dry dock and shipyard and other conveniences that go to the making of a port, such as a quarantine station, wireless and radio telephone stations. Nothing is lacking. The port is ready for busi-ness, the railway is ready to carry the grain and all that is needed is the western connection with it from the Peace country. It would seem the part of statesmanship for any government to enable such modern facilities to be used for the benefit of the Peace River far mers and at the same time to provide employment for that army of rvho today are clamoring for honest jobs to enable them to live as d citizens of Canada.
