E> PRINCE RUPERT’S GOVERNMENT WHARF. DAILY cet WeDwespay, oe 28 On ‘the, fifteenth of February Mr. Brewster gave notice in the legislature that on the following Monday he would ask the Hon. Minister of Public Works the question: ‘Did the govern- ment build a public wharf at the City of Prince Rupert?’”’ The minister’s reply to this has not reached us. It would doubtless| be in the negative, and to be consistent the hon. soem t would reply that the government had under city named a vote-catcher, and refer Mr. Brewster to former reports of his department containing statements, issued just before election time, that ‘tthe government wharf at Prince Rupert will be completed immediately.” Mr. Brewster is a good friend of Prince Rupert; probably the only friend Prince Rupert has in the House. But what we asked him to ask was the direct question: ‘‘When will the government wharf be completed?” so that we could once again have the Conservative party On the hip in regard to ante-election Knox Hotel BESNER & BESNER, ProprieTORS The New Knox Hotel is run on the European plan.

Are the lands granted by the province to the British Columbia Southern Railway Company in South- east Kootenay assessed for the purposes of taxation? A: Yes. 2: If so, how long have these lands been so as- sessed? A. Since 1908. 3. What is the amount of taxation assessed against these lands for each year during the period for which they have been assessed? A. 1908, $64,228; 1909, $64,228; 1910, $61,802; 1914, $61,655. 4. What amount of money has been paid by the railway company in each year on account of such taxa- tion? A. None. 5. What amounts of money are still due from the said railway company in respect to such taxation? A. The amounts given in answer to question 3 are unpaid, and bear interest at 6 per cent. from the re- spective dates of delinquency. VALUABLE GRAHAM iSLAND CHARTER. The incorporation charter of the Graham Island Coal and Timber Syndicate fills two pages in the notices of extra-pro- yincial companies in the British Columbia Gazette, and gives| powers of the widest scope. It not only permits the company | to mine for coal, oil and minerals, but also to build ships, be bankers and distillers, raise chickens, run hotels, grow spring) lamb and mint sauce and search for precious stones “in any part} of the world.’’ It was very kind of the McBride government | to grant the valuable concession contained in the last clause. It} demonstrates the omni-terrestrial powers of the grantors and| may prevent the English capitalists seeking for precious stones | from being too disappointed with Graham Island. IN OTHER WORDS—GOLD-BRICKED. Now that their existence is no longer necessary to serve) the ends of the Conservative party, the British-Born associations | are being allowed to pass quietly away, says the Guelph Mercury. | We were assured at the time that this organization was purely for| non-political purposes, though even the Conservatives themselves could saarcely have believed it. Those who were gullible enough to enlist for other than political purposes are entitled to the same brand of sympathy that is extended to the investor who buys good farming land on the side of a mountain.

AND ~ ANNEX A record amount of labor un- rest, a slight rise in wages, a con- siderable decrease in hours, a minimum of unemployment and maintenance of high cost of liv- ing are the principal features of the review of industry during 1941, published by the board of trade. The percentage of unemployed for 1911—4.3—was the lowest recorded since 1904, when itjf coast amounted to 3.7. A slight upward movement in wages, which began in 1910, was) maintained on the whole during 1911, although it did not at any) time become marked. | The net effect of all changes} reported to the board of trade during the year was an increase} of £20,927 a week in the wages of 825,204 working people. | Taking the period of sixteen|== years from 1896 to 1944, the ag-| gregate of net increases of wages | Georgetown exceeds that of ne decreases by equal to £19,- Lumber Mouldings A large stock of dry finish- ing lumber on hand.
