'TIME
TO
DEMAND
REA-SONABLE
RATE
ON
CARS
The
rate
for
carrying
automobiles
either
way
between
Prince
Kupert
and
Ilazclton
Is
$10.
This
is
a
prohibitive
rate.
It
has
no
value
to
the
railway
company
because
people
with
cars
do
not
ship
them.
It
simply
cuts
Prince
Kupert
off
from
the
rest
of
the
country
and
prevents
the
ingress
ind
ft
r
ess
of
tourists.
Smlthrrs
has
recently
stirred
up
this
question
and
is
being
backed
by
the
Prince
Kupert
Chamber
of
Commerce
with
a
view
to
encouraging
tourist
traffic
to
this
city.
It
Is
pointed
out
that
not
only
is
the
rate
excessive
but
the
fact
that
cars
cannot
be
shipped
on
the
passenger
trains
militates
against
their
being
sent
at
all.
The
argument
against
a
low
rate
is
that
the
amount
of
business
Is
so
small
that
it
does
not
warrant
any
reduction
and
it
does
not
pay
to
provide
special
facilities.
Now
let
us
look
at
It
the
other
way
If
a
rate
of
$15
were
given
n
all
passenger
trains
to
and
Irom
Prince
It
u
pert,
tourists
sould
be
encouraged
to
come
brre
and
also
to
visit
the
wonderful
valleys
between
here
and
Prince
George.
Not
only
would
the
railway
benefit
but
the
whole
country
would
benefit
and
this
would
cause
Improved
conditions
everywhere
in
the
north
which
would
again
redound
to
the
benefit
of
the
railway
company.
Another
argument
In
favor
of
carrying
the
cars
at
a
reasonable
rate
Is
that
for
every
car
shipped
there
would
be
one,
two
or
some
times
half
a
doien
passengers
carried
at
the
same
time.
Surely
It
would
pay
the
railway
company
to
make
a
concession
on
the
cars
in
order
to
carry
the
extra
pas-irngers.
Again,
Prince
Kupert
people
would
often
like
to
visit
the
Interior
and
take
their
cars
along.
Today
they
cannot
do
so.
With
a
$15
rate
they
might
do
so
to
the
treat
benefit
of
the
people
of
the
interior
financially
and
to
the
benefit
physically,
morally
and
tpiritually
of
the
local
people.
We
believe
that
If
a
united
demand
were
made
from
all
points
Interested
a
real
demand
that
refused
to
be
denied
the
$15
rate
would
be
given.
Nothing
higher
than
a
$15
rate
lo
Ilazclton
and
$10,
to
Terrace
will
satisfy
the
people
either
of
Trlnce
Kupert
or.
of
Interior
points.
Judging
from
the
present
rate
of
progress
It
will
be
many
years
before
It
will
be
possible
to
drive
to
Interior
points.
The
only
present
hope
the
people
have
for

Is
from
a
low

when
only
13
years
of
age
through
a
scheme
hatched
by
his

a
member

to
thwart
the
boy's
plans
to
run
away
with

however.
Sousa
left
the
Marine
Band
to
strike
out
for
himself
and
put
in
several
years
conducting
theatrical
and
other
orchestras
and
giving
violin
lessons.
His
first
engagement
of
Importance
was
in
1877
when,
as
first
violinist,
he
toured
the
country
with
the
orchestra
of
Jasquos
Offenbach,
composer
of
'The
Talcs
of
Hoffman."
One
month
before
his
twenty-fifth
birthday,
Sousa
returned
to
the
Marine
Band
as
conductor
and
remained
with
the
organization
12
years.
During
that
time
he
developed
the
organization
to
a
high
stan-ard
of
proficiency
and
placed
It
In
the
front
rank
of
military
bands.
However,
the
musicians
were
poorly
paid
and
Sousa
had
made
considerable
financial
sacrifice
to
remain
as
director.
In
1892
an
opportunity
came
to
the
bandmaster
to
carry
out
a
plan
he
had
had
in
mind
for
a
long
time
the
organization
of
a
band
of

to
present
the
works
of
great
composers
before
audiences
which
