TELEPHONE 98 ?THE DAiCYNEWS HURRICANE SEASON ON Government Issues Warning Itcsidents of South Sea Islands SUVA, Fiji Islands, Jan. 8: This is the hurricane season in the South Seas and the government has issued its warnings to Islanders and mariners. Whether or not the gov-. eminent warnings are accurate, they are closely observed and when j "dirty" weather is predicted schoo-I ners scurry for cover and residents of Suva and other Fiji towns batten up windows and doors. j I In Suva the sound of the hurri-; cane gun on the waterfront is the! signal for a battery of hammering ' to break out over the town and sub-! urbs. In a remarkably short space1 of time the shopping centre is bat-; tened down with huge shutters over ,' shop fronts, an effect which docs; not add to the beauty of the town. If the signal happens to be a false ; alarm the shutters cautiously come i down, but it is not unusual for them to remain up for the best part of. a week until all danger is over. This proved to be the case last season, when several hurricanes were reported but. fortunately for Suva, they struck other parts of the group. They served, however, to keep residents in a state of suspense over varying periods, and shop assistants on the run with hammer and nails. With prices for Its products, at a low level Suva is not anxious to entertain a "blow" this season. It Is to be hoped that the season will pass off quietly and that the clerk of the weather will not take advantage of the offer of the Fiji Royal Gazette in extending the season another two months. A close season would be more appreciated. Former Alice Arm Bank Manager Is Off to Cranbrook S. F. D.

Cheapest Way of ' Reaching the People The cheapest way of reaching practically all the people of Prince Rupert and district is hy means of the classified columns of the Daily News. Nearly everyone has something they could turn into cash through the "For Sale" column. Perhaps they have a house to rent. Here is the chance. Spend 50c on a classified advertisement and secure a tenant rather than have it idle. If a girl wishes a position or a housewife wishes help, the best means of getting supplied is through a want ad. Dressmakers sometimes want work; small storekeepers want to move their goods; or maybe you need an article that has been used rather than pay the price for new. Give the Daily .News classified columns a trial. Many have been very pleased at the result. m -and drop in later and pay the bill. The charge is small.

C. White Elephant In the late; issue or the Financial Post of Toronto, there I an article on provincial railways In which the P. G. E. is featured as follows: 'The Province of British Columbia owns a railway which had a gross revenue of $480,000 In 1030 but which costs the province $3,-000,000 a year. It seems almost im possible to conceive of any government involving itself In an enterprise that would prove so costly, but such Is Indeed the case In connection with the Investment of the province of British Columbia In the Pacific Oreat Eastern Railway. "The P. O. E. was incorporated in 1912. to build from Vancouver northward to meet the Grand rTrunk Pacific line to the ocean. The chief purpose of the line was to colonize the interior of British Columbia, bringing In German settlers. Another hope In the minds of promoters was that the Grand Trunk Pacific would make a suit able operating agreement to route its Vancouver freight over the P. O E. outlet. The war ended the Oer- man settlement scheme, and a con solidation of the Grand Trunk Pa clflc with the Canadian Northern under government ownership end ed whatever hopes there were for using the P. G. E. as the Vancouver outlet. "The province of British Colum bia guaranteed bonds on the en terprlse and eventuaully had to take it over entirely. When the pro vince took over the line it had no connection either with Vancouver or with the northern terminus. The railway is still without suitable southern or northern termini. In brief, it starts nowhere and ends nowhere. Cost Over Sixty Millions "The last budget speech of the minister of finance of British Co lumbla showed that -at March 31 1930. the province had guaranteed bonds of the P. O. E. Railway to the extent of $21,160,000 which meant that this amount was a direct liability to the province. In addition, direct liabilities incurred by extensons amounted to $14,481,801. But on top of these liabilities the nrovlnce had already assumed large operating and Interest deficits ' on the road. The nearest one can come to an estimate of what the, orovlnce already has Invested In this railroad Is the statement made! by .the Prime Minister March 24 1 last, to the effect that the total liabilities of the P. O. E. were now $66,650,000 of which $38,000,000 represent outstanding obligations and i the remainder consisted of interest (and operating deficits already paid I by the government. ! "British Columbia has made imany endeavors to sell thfc line. None of, these have come td fruit-Ion. It is doubtful it the line could be sold for more than a few million dollars even if the province were to Assume all the capital liabilities presently existing and to write off all Its previous contributions on account of interest or operating deficits. The P. G. E. Is a road of virtually no present value and a potential value that cannot .yet be vantages As Also-Rans what Dismayed At uesu)w LONDON, Jan. 8 Many successful candidates in the recenf geh-eral election In Great Britain sustained an embarrasing surprise when they found that they were actually, returned as Members ot Parliament. They fought what they considered forlorn chanccs-and-won. Several are reported to have entered on a contest which they thnmrht would Dlace them in an "also ran" position because they had an eye to the future rather than the present. The though? that by sustalnlag what looked as a hopeless fight they would In- gratlate themselves with the parly chiefs, so .that on some future, occasion they would be given a, much more favorable opportunity of entering the House of Commons j The London Evening News cites I the case of a young member oti Parliament who, holds an appoln;- ment In the distant part of the Empire. He stood for Parliament while he was home on leave; and his victory has placed him In a quandry. For he has had to resign from his lucrative oversea. 1 post which he obviously could not retain by staying In London as a Member of Parliament. Ills private means are small: and he Is now trying to supplement hh member's salary of $1800 a year the original $2000 a year has been cut by 10 per cent, as part of the government economy scheme. i PUchard-Malkln's Best, per No. 1 tin Hallow!
