The lead is being taken here by thd Catholic Church but others claim the evangelist saint as one of the great religious leaders of the early days. At any rate he left a name which will be remembered for all time to come and a name that will be used by many an Irishman to remind him of the Prince of Peace which he reveres but does not attempt to copy. Ireland is but a small country, yet its influence in world affairs has been and still is great. Irish people are found in almost every country and they are usually to the fore in city life. In New York they show the way to strangers by standing at street corners and they are a terror to those who transgress atrainst the law. When not enforc ing the law they are said to be busy breaking it At any rate uney are always an active lorce in any place, even in Prince Rupert So today we honor St. Patrick.

' MONKMAN HIGHWAY Would Help to Make Peace River Country Tributary to Prince Rupert, Declares Visitor "When the agricultural wealth of our great north land is made tributary to your line of the Canadian National Railways, Prince Rupert, I feel sure, will become one of our greatest Pacific ports," de clared D. E. Harris, rancher of Beaverlodge in the Peace River country, who sailed yesterday af ternoon on the Catala for Vancouver after a week-end visit here. 'This has been my first visit to your city and I was delighted to find so charming a setting which I am certain is not surpassed anywhere on the Pacific Coast. I have been particularly impressed with your magnificent harbor." Mr. Harris Is an active member of the Monkman Pass Highway Association which is advocating the construction of a 132-mlle highway to connect up the Peace River country with the Canadian Na tional Railways and the central interior road system at a point near Prince George. Mr. Harris told of activities which had been under way with a' view- to obtaining this highway link. In.'
