Olof Hanson that it was difficult to think of anybody else to represent Jhem at Ottawa, has at length mad&its choice for a new government candidate in the-person of Edward T. Applewhaite. Returned soldier, Ims-tlinJnsiirance man, qualified barris-terc)iurchmaii, capable speaker and strident of public affairs, the choice of; Mr. Applewhaite would appear to beja happy one. He should be a worthy standard bearer and, hacked by a properly and organized campaign, should ha've more than an even chance to win in; a fight which everyone concedes is gojnto boVa hard one. I Mr. Applewhaite has been a resi-denTof the riding for sixteen years so is j no carpet-bagger or temporary opportunist. A man of good impute and dynamic personality, ho enjoyed popularity and esteem in Stewart, where he liven for fourteen years and where his merits were well recognized. For the p:jst .three years he has been in Prince Rlip6rt and has become well known arid "esteemed here. One of the first requirements now in the interests of a jsuccessful campaign will be for the candidate to become better acquainted with .other parts of the riding, particularly the interior where, he may be counted upon to make a good impression. ! Ml". Appfewhaite starts off with the advantage of being the standard bearer of the government party which has su&Oi prow war record to its' credit' aijdwhich has a far-reaching program in! tilt various fields of post-war re-establishment already well in hand. Tie Liberal party 'has come through wjth a strong case and a capable candidate. The government may well look to Skeena to contribute to the mandate and renewal of confidence tljatwill shortly be sought of the The School Board's Letter . . .1 The propnetv of publishing a com-: munication which was sent to the city council recently on behalf of the board of school trustees and in which certain comments were made in regard to the salaries paid and the quality of teaching talent attracted thereby was questioned at the meeting of the l)oard of school tmstees last week. The city; council rightly saw no objection to placing the communication on thc agenda paper to be read, in public ses-l sion. Since the letter had a bearing on ! the estimates for the year, the comment in respect to the quality of teaching talent being evidently in justification of an increased salary scale, itj was quite fitting that in our line of service to the public the correspondence should have l)een published Jjy. this newspaper. To make particularly certain that there should be an accurate report of the letter in question the Daily News published it in iU entirety with' the exception of two or three sentences. The letter matter in question was accurately reported. It dealt with a matter of public interest having to do with the disposition of money provided by the people. If the letter made statements or implications that through publication were embarrassing that was no fault of the newspaper. It is a relief to us and, no doubt, to the parties concerned that the situation in regard to the standard of teaching here not such as we were led to believe from Hie tone of tlie board's own letter. Tributary Hydro Electric Power A few days ago the question came up as to how much undeveloped water power there was for industrial purposes in the immediate vicinity of Prince Rupert. Checking the matter up it is found that within forty miles of the city there is over 100,000 horsepower of undeveloped water power which could support an industrial population of possibly 1,000,000 people. Developed waterpower contiguous to Prince Rupert amounts to only 7,600 h.p. 0,000 h.p, at Falls River and 1,000 h.p. at Woodworth Lake. Waterpower potentials in close proximity to Prince Rupert include the following: . Falls Jtiver, 32,000. - Woodworth Lak6,3,000; ' ' Brown's Mill, (Ecstall River), 17,-000. Khatda Lake, 27,000. Thulme River, 18,000. Union Bay, 10,000. In addition there is a development at Anyox with a potential of 15,000 and at Kalum Lake near Terrace 12,000 to 18,000 h.n. both of which could be readily available in those days of jong transmission.
