THURSDAY, JUNE 27 There is an old saying in France which, freely translated, is siply this: ‘J¢ is only the first step which counts.” Proverbs are seldom as absolutely applicable to cases as they seem, and yet there is always a good deal in them. ‘To the man who laid the first axe blade to a tree trunk on this townsite Prince Rupert owes something, though who can tell today who that man may have been? To every man who has pioneered the rough, diffi- cult beginnings of any kind of development work in this city Prince Rupert owes a great deal. Col. Davis was our first city engineer. Upon him fell the responsibility of making the start, of taking the first step (which the French proverb says counts so much) toward the construction of the streets and the other engineering feats which today are considered so much to the credit of the city. It is usual in all cities for the man in the street to criticize the man who made the street. There is little weight in lay criticism. Only a properly qualified civil engineer can fairly estimate the problems of pioneer engineering in Prince Rupert. There has been a little lay criticism of our first city engineer. Every city engineer is criticized by the citizens he serves. Colonel Davis has, however, been less criticized probably than any of his city throughout Canada. Col. Davis very early in his experience in Prince Rupert won the He resigns, but he retains il engineer compeers respect of the whole community. more than ever. VANCOUVER HAS STOLEN OUR PIPE. Oh, the perfidy of Vancouver! Not content with attributing to the fair city of Prince Rupert a rainfall rather worse than that which occurred in the gays of one Noah, that wicked, wicked Vaneouver has now made off with our water pipe—the pipe which was our pride-—the very first direct shipment of freight to Prince Rupert from Great Britain. Oh, villainous Vancouver, why did you serve us so? “But,” exclaims the citizen of Prince Rupert, ‘‘the pipe is here. Did not the Director arrive yesterday afternoon, and is she not even today beginning to unload her consignment of 1,000 tons of steel pipe for Prince Rupert? Our first direct shipment of freight from the old land has been duly and safely brought hither by the faithful and appropriately named Harrison Vancouver has not stolen our pipe. Really, these news- ? liner, papers are the limit Never mind. The Daily News is not misinformed. Van- couver has stolen our pipe. Citizens of Prince Rupert, you will look in vain for any entry concerning that 1,000 ton direct ship- ment to Prince Rupert from Britain on the customs records of Prince Rupert. That consignment, valued at $36,000 and paying duty to the amount of $700, will never swell the import figures of its own port of Prince Rupert. Our beautiful, long desired, safely brought and honestly paid for first consignment of freight direct from Liverpool was ‘‘cleared’’ at the customs house of Vancouver will claim credit for that extra $86,000 Great big greedy Vancouver has gone and Vancouver, worth of imports. gobbled our pipe! ——— SS - Se venatnetneds — heheh % om os > ee LYNCH BROS. || Largest Stock General Merchandise i Lowest Prices in Northern B.

Ontario government, and organiz- er of the Conservative forees in Ontario in the recent election, when they took 72 out of 85 seats. Frank Cochrane was born in Quebec, in a Sittle village named Clarenveville, fifty-nine years ago, and got his education in the public sehools of that prov- ince, although a Methodist. For a time he worked as clerk in a hardware store at Pembroke, but early in life the call of the woods came to him and he weni to Sad- bury when Sudbury wasn’t much to look at. There he made his headquarters, but he lived most of the time in the open, and de- veloped muscle, acquired that clear gray blue eye and learned that habit of carrying his head up when he watks. Swung His Axe, Too. A man either Is or Isn’t in that vreat north country of pioneers and trail breakers, There was no place for the misfit or the weakling in those earlier days. Frank CGoehrane made good in the forests and, later, in the mines. From swinging an axe himself he soon got things so that others were swinging it for him, and in a comparatively short time he had hewn and mined his way into a competency. Then he reverted again to the hardware idea and established his store at Sudbury. Here his busi- ness rapidly developed and soon there wasn't anything you could possibly want in a lumber or mining camp whieh could not be procured at “Cochrane's,” and everything was the best, too.
