DAILY EDITION THE DOMINION The Dominion of Canada is among the nations of the world but if,, is making its presence felt and efforts with interest. Every year the prestige and influence 6f Canada increases and citizens of the country, born or naturalized, may well feel proud of the land to which they belong. Theirs is the biggest country on ,the continent and it has all the possibilities of becoming the greatest. blessed with an invigorating climate,; unmeasured natural resources, and with a virile people springing from untainted Stocks, Canada" is indeed the land of opportunity. here a nation,-that will be an example, to the rest of mankind and a leader in all that makes for progress and happiness of the individual. The Canadian may well hold high his head expand his chest and breathe in the pure invigorating air of the north, and in doing o ieei mat 10 oe wnat ne is means an d best. Even Sir Wilfrid Laurier had his weaknesses arid Sir John A. Macdonald had several, yet they were great men. Yes, among the world's greatest. 'BRITISH COLUMBIA A FACTOR IN TlfE NATION And what is the position of British Columbia in connection with this great nation. We may not have the unending wheatfields of the prairies, the manufactures of Ontario, the industrious habitants of Quebec or the historical associations of the eastern rnari-times but we have here a province that is unique and that promises great things. What was once looked on as only a sea of mountains is found to be a land of wondroUS scenery, of fertile valleys, of rich mines, of valuable timber and of fisheries that have withstood the exploitation of many years and still hold their own. British Columbia is on the attracts and where life-may be If Canada is to become a great n..:w,.t. t.;-. -u.-u , iojuiiium snouiu piay an mat. uur province is something of which we should all be proud. It's nice to think that the fathers of confederation were looked upon in their day as men like ourselves, and by some they were designated as poltroons, purveyors of piffle and puny politicians. Thank heaven there is hope ' that time may clean the skirts of some of our modern ' politicians. ' PRINCE RUPERTS PART IN NATION Then let us look at Prince Rupert as a factor in the life of the nation. Many other towns and cities are self contained. They cater to the. little district of which they are the centre. Their expansion is limited by their position and by the development of the particular district of which they happen to be a part. Not so with Pfirice Rupert. The city is a seaport that already is closely tied t6 tKe province of Alberta through the fact that the wheat grown on her fertile fields are shipped this way. Greater expansion will come and eventually the port will be one of the greatest ports of the nation. It should be a matter of pride to be d citizen. of Prince Rupert and to know that, although one of the later developments of the great confederation, she is already playing her part in a small way as a factor in its life and that the future holds out promise of greater and still greater things. Forget the money end of our destiny, for,, this week at any rate; Let us be proud of our country, of our province and of our .city.. Let us be glad that Prince Rupert is a city that is serving the Tiatlon and; also doing her bit in connection with the great outside world beyond the confine's"' T)f Canada. ; It is a great thing to be a Canadian. It is a great thing to be a British Columbian and if we wish we can make it even a greater privilege to be a citizenof Prince Rupert, one of the ports of Canada with a great and wonderful future. Prince Rupert has so far made two world records. It has the largest fish cold storage plant in the world and the largest fresh halibut business in the world. What is going to make the next record? Noiseless clean. No rough corners. As comfortable for two as for one. Ah investment in health and long service. SIMMONS Slumber For Sale Same's Furniture Store per year $7,501 inch'ner insertion ....

OF GREAT MEN Former Premier of British Columbia Has Warm Place in Hearts ,rot Western Canadians ftf' It: is ''difficult to. selict irepiesenta-tlve man iot British Columbia, ''without apparently discriminating against at least ball a dozen of his predecessors. Sir James Douglas, though nominally the first governor, was from 1849 to 1864 not only the power behind the Throne, but the Throne itself. A successor to Sir Henry Musgrave, was the .most Important faf tor of bringing Br.tlsh Columbia Into Confederation. The first premier, J. F. McCrelght, who Was -an able Jurist, but no politician-, went - 011 the rocks" W one yeai. Hll tuccessor, Amor de Cosmos, a very able, If eccentric, man was among the fcremfisf la promoting union. Probably the ablest premier from the point of. view of mental alertness and political oppsrtonlim was the' Hon. d. E. WaN kem, who was responsible for what are known as the "Carnarvon Terms" In connection with the construction of the C.P.R. The most outstanding In ability as a Journalist and a public rr.aa was probably the Hon. John Rob-son, a powerful advocate of Confederation. Sir Richard McBrlde was the most popular and picturesque of all the statesmen of British Columbia. On his birthday of 1003, the year he succeeded to the premiership, he was thlrtyAhree. the youngest premier in Canada; but he had contested Dewdney unsuccess fully for the House of Commons In ' 1896. and had been elected to the leels- lature In 1898. becomlne Minister of Mines In 1900. l'lCTl KESQl E FinritF.

Another strong feature of his adminis tration was the noted advances made In education and his ceration of the University of British Columbia, i STI IIENT OF MEN Sir Richard McBrlde was a pleasing, but not eloquent speaker. He was not a student of books, but a great student of men. Like S'r Henry Macdonald he had an almost uncanny memory for names and places and an Instinctive knowledge of human nature. He had an almost uncanny memory for names and places and an Instinctive knowledge of human nature. He had also a pleasing personality and a personal magnetism that appealed to and at tracted to him every person With whom he came In contact.' He was loved by the soldiers and sailors and old timers in British Columbia, and In Great Britain had warm, almost Intimate per sonal relations with the King arid1 Queen of England, statesmen, admirals and generals for s, period extending from 1907 until his death. Had he riot been stricken with an incurable dis ease while still in the prime of llfi forty-five he might have been Prime Minister of Canada or occupied high posts in the administration of Great Britain Itself. Of a similar type he had many of the characteristics of Sir John Mardrmalrt and. Sir Wilfrid Laurier. and although not intellectually on the same plane was even more Intensely human and personally lovable. PRINCE RUPERT MAKING GOOD MUNICIPAL RECORD AND FUTURE PROMISING (continued from page one) Vancouver minimum is 24c. Industrial power Is supplied at a sliding scale from 4.2c down to Sc. according to the quantities used. The charge for business main line telephone Is I4.7S per month and for residential party line phone 2.75 month with discount of It ln each case If paid before the fifteenth of the month. iLQiucinifti waurr tutirgc 19 91 per It.ic month with 10 Der cent discount Water for industrial purposes Is supplied by meter at cheap rates. Operating profits on the city's electric and telephone utilities have been substantial and have eased to a con- leidcrable extent the taxation burden without working Injury on the consumer as the scale of charges amply proves. In 1928 the electric light department allowed a surplus on the year's operations of 118,637.09 and there Is every indication that It will do even .better this year. The telephone depart-jment last year showed a surplus of A209'.78. Owing to the long pipe line Unci heavy Installation cost, the water-(works, as might be expected, has been losing at the rate of about 410,000 a year.
