We congratulate Mayor Orme on being again returned by acclamation after two successful .years in office. The men offering for aldermen and school trustees are all good men and some voters will find It difficult choosing among them. The faet that so HtUe interest is being taKen indicates that there is little dissatisfaction with the manner in which the affairs of the city have been handled. THE NEW .MASONIC TEMPLE The Masonic Lodges of Prinee Rupert are to be congratulated upon the enterprise which has resulted in the completion of their fine new Temple building which will be officially dedicated tonight The handsome structure is a credit not only to the craft but to the city as a whole and is a building 01 which everyone is proud. It was particularly timely that the building should have been erected in the dull year of 1981. A building expenditure of some $25,000 at that time did much to help the unemployment situation here, it may be conceded. Further the erection of the building is a striking example of the faith in the city of one of its leading organizations. It is a Temple of which many larger cities than Prince Rupert would feel right proud. In fact, it is one of the finest buildings of its kind in the country. INTERESTING WORDS The origin of O.K. as given by a Frenchman is interesting. It seems that the best rum imported into France is supposed to come from a small town in Haiti known as Aux Cayes and pronounced 0 K. Gradually this expression was urged to designate anything that was correct or of first quality. The world was introduced into English speaking countries and the Americans tried to suggest it was derived from "Or! Korrect , an Americanism. The other day the editor was able to purchase a few apples known to the elect as Cox's Orange Pippins. Thee are supposed to be the finest flavored apples in the workl, ranking a few grades above the famous Rlhston Pippins and Kentish Pippins of the Old Country. It is from these apples we get the modern expression "Isn't she a pippin?" The pippin being the finest apple in the world, the expression nippin used in connection with any perron indicates the finest in the world.

January 1.3 153J Prince Rupert 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 all 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 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 railway 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 everywhere, 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 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 chat 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 shoud be for the purpose of cerving 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 f . go to the making of a port, such as a quarantine station, wireless and radio telephoning stations. Nothing is lacking. The port is ready for business, 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 facijtyies to be used for the benefit of the Peace River far- rners and at the same time to provide employment for that army of men who today are clamoring for honest jobs to enable them to live as decent citizens of Canada.
