WANTED—A CIVIC WELFARE LEAGUE

The time is ripe and rotten ripe for change in Prince Rupert.
People are sick of petty strife and personal bickerings. For party
government in national affairs, where strong leaders and conflicting
doctrines fight for supremacy, there is in our present stage of transition,
a place. But there is no place for such in municinai affairs in a city
like Prince Rupert. Our problems are too large and our men too few,
to permit of division and strife.

It is superfluous to look to those who profit by fomenting party
divisions to lead in the work of consolidating the citizens. That is
a work that will have to be done, and perhaps can only be done by
the best men of all parties agreeing to rise above party, and press
forward the welfare of the city. Such a body of men organised as
a Civic Welfare League pledged to a programme of reforms and
progressive measures, would wield a moral force over the city that
no council nor external authority however corrupt, could hope to
stand against.

In New York, the Bureau of Civic Research, in Boston the Com-
mittee of Twenty, in London the Fabian Society have accomplished
wonders in municipal reform, even against the great handicaps of
working against evils long entrenched, and in communities where
they were largely isolated from the crowd.

There are a score of leading men on both sides that the News
could designate quite capable of combining together and lifting Prince
Rupert out of the slough of petty factionalism towards which she is
fast heading. The recent election so far as Prince Rupert was con-
cerned showed that it was quite possible for our citizens to rise above
party influence and appeals to race-hatred, in the effort to advance
the city’s commercial prestige.

Though denied the advantages of reciprocity by the will of the
people of the East and the South, Prince Rupert cannot be denied
the advantages of reciprocity and good will between her own citizens,
if her own citizens.desire it.

There is no need for anyone to desert his political party or stultify
his political conscience. What is needed is for strong and clean men
to combine, and agree to ignore outside influences that may work
harm to our city, and work together to force upon a willing or an
unwilling council, progressive measures for the welfare of Prince
Rupert. How many good citizens capable of rising above party calls
have we in Prince Rupert?

A UNITED STATES VIEW OF THE ELECTION

The New York Herald speaking of the recent election says:

“The voters of Canada have spoken, and the result is as surprising
as it is emphatic. This landslide means that, for the present at least,
reciprocity between the United States and the Dominion is an impos-
sibility. The large majority of the victors makes them independent
of the Nationalist members, and will enable them to carry out any
programme they may decide upon. And the chief article on any
programme will be the rejection of the agreements for freer trade
relations between the two nations.

“The result is a triumph for the protected interests of C.nada,
and is made possible by the failure of the agricultural element to
rally to the cause that would have bettered their condition through
opening the great markets of the United States to their products.
The effect of the election on the future of Canada must be watched
with interest.

“As for Sir Wilfrid Laurier, he may well feel that he met defeai
fighting for the best interests of the Canada he has served so long
and faithfully. To him, as to President Taft, the result must be dis-
appointment. But time will; vindicate his position. Canada needs
our markets more than we need hers.”’

NOTES AND COMMENTS

Our good friend the Empire was much perturbed last night about
a motto which decorates the wall of the News office, the leading daily
newspaper. It reads ‘‘Don’t believe it.’’ Alas for our little friend.
The motto refers to the copy of the Evening Empire upon which it
is pasted.

There is no doubt about the goodness of Prince Rupert weather,
despite the fables to the contrary. Every month the weather report
of the Dominion Government meteorological observer proves it. The
report for September is to hand. It shows that it was neither very
hot nor very cold at any time, but a sensible mean temperature for
the month of 54.2. There is nothing mean about 54.2 except the name.

The total precipitation for the month was 4.23 inches. Vancouver
papers please copy.

the stalkers had been stalked without
suspecting it.

When the volley was fired Dick Rolt
had had his eye on the exact spot in
which one of the red stars of light
had burst. He had heard the bullet
sing past him, and for a fraction of a
second had seen the prone figure of
the man who fired the shot. But he

the attacking party consisted of white
men.

He had no notion how close his fel-
lows were. He could not hear them,
nor see the outline even of the nearest
bush. It was still pitch dark on the
ground.

Suddenly a hand closed round his
ankle, and a voice whispered.

“We've got to wriggle out of this.
Don’t lift your head, but just slew
round on your belly and snake it after
me. There’s no hurry. I'll go slow.”

“But the horses?” asked Rolt.

“Yours is dead, ain’t it? If they
want to shoot the others we can’t stop
‘em, blank them. Come,” and Rolt
who by this time had his head near
old Al’s heels, saw these draw quietly
away from him.

Imitating his companion Rolt
squirmed on his belly through the
bush which closed over him, #° that
it was only with the utmost difficulty
and half by instinct that he managed
to follow Al, of whose tortuous pro-
gress he could see but little, even
when he was within arm’s length of
him.

He knew that he was going down
hill, and that the ground under him
was growing softer and softer, until
at last he might almost as well have
+ gg swimming, but he could see noth-
ng.

“We're all right now,” Al stopped
to whisper, just when Rolt was be-
ginning to wonder whether he would
not rather be shot than go on any far
ther.

“We're in the crik bottom.”

“I could have guessed that.”

Al gave a low chuckle.

“Pretty blanked cold, eh? Well,
we'll cure that. We've got to move
now like two-year-olds. Are you
ready?” and he rose to a crouching
position.

“Keep your head low till
the timber. Now come, and we'll beat
them yet,” and stooping as he ran
the old frontiersman led his compan-
ion along the creek bottom under the
shelter of its banks, into the heavy
pine timber. There they threw them-
selves on the ground, soaked to the
bone and panting heavily.

“What now? Are we going to fight
them here?” asked Rolt at last, stand-
ing up to let some of the water drain
out of him.

“Fight Injuns in timber? Not much.
We've another five minutes before
they'll miss us, but the light’s coming.
They're getting impatient. Hear
that?”

“That” was another volley poured
into the hollow.

“Hain’t missed us yet, anyways.
Are you good for another burst,
Boss?”

“If it’s not too far.” Rolt’s running
days were over, and he was a heavy
man, used to riding.

“No, it ain't far,” and the old man
began to run again as if he had been

“Don’t be such a fool,” commanded
the Boss.

“IT ain’t no fool, Boss. No Injun
ever hit a man at a thousand yards,
and I’ve got to know how our little
show will strike the gallery, Like-
wise I’m anxious to know if we have
a full house,” and so saying, he struck
& match and wandered out into the
open,

In the most unconcerned way in the
world the old fellow strolled along
straight towards the timber, smoking
as he went, and looking back occa-
sionaily at his handiwork, and fer
about three hundred yards he went
unmolested,

Then a shot was fired, the dry
earth was kicked up a hundred yards
in front of him, and his hat fell on
the ground whilst his rifle went to his
shoulder, and his own shot was echo-
ed by two more from the cherry patch,
under the cover of which tiny volley
he dashed back to his lair.

“All right,” he said, as he crawled
under his mound, “the seats is all took
and the currtain’s up. It’s just three
hundred yards to where I dropped my
cap, and now I'm goin’ to put in time
diggin’. If I was you I'd do the same.
It’s goin’ to be safer underground than
up a tree by and by," and after that
for . long time the Boss saw no more
of Al.

CHAPTER XX,

The Chinook wind which had been
blowing before midnight had dropped,
and in the last hours of darkness had
been succeeded by a crisp clear air
with more than a suspicion of frost ip
it, so that when the dawn came, it
spread through skies of such rare
lucidity as are never seen except in
high northern lands,

Along the horizon the light grew
gradually, until in the east the heav-
ens were of a pale lemon color, so
clear, so utterly fine and transparent,
that the gloom of the rigid barrier of
pines hurt the eye with its contrast of
stiff solidity.

Even the pine belt itself was not
quite proof against the dawn. The
tops of it were touched with a pale
glory and, though the gloom of the
black boughs swallowed up the light
that struck them, a bole here and
there was caught by it and brightened
with a wash of tenderest golden grey.

But the prairie welcomed the dawn,
which flooded its frost-touched sage
brush, so that it rolled in sheets of
sparkling silver, from the pines to the
cherry patch and away beyond ag far
as the eye could see towards the atill
shadowy bed of the Fraser.

and utterly noiseless, who came
stealing down from the hills, until
he was nearly midway between the
pines and the cherry patch,

There he checked sharply, his nose
went up and his brush dropped, and
wheeling in his tracks, he went back
at a lope to the nearest rising ground,
on which he stood awhile reconnoit-

Something in the country displeased
‘him, for after a prolonged survey he
loped back the way he had come.

The coyote’s behavior was sugges-
tive of suspicion, but a little broad-
winged hawk which poised in the
clear air or swung noiselessly over-
head with a keen eye for mice or
beetles, contradicted the habitually
suspicious vagubond.

Rolt found it impossible to remain
strung up to concert pitch for ever in
such an atmosphere of peaceful
beauty, just as the half alarmed buck
does, when pitted against the ever-
lasting patience of his hunter, and
was actually dozing when a voice be-
jhind him asked:
