One rifle shot with an armor-plerclng .303 calibre shell ex- ploded the mine at Eagle Hill and nearby trees were knocked over by the expltricn. The second mine, on Bonllla Island, required three shots before it exploded against a sheer rock cliff. Both mines left huge holes in the shore when the rifle shots pierced their dangerous con-. tents. ! The mine on Bonllla Island was reported toy Capt. A. Nelson of the .fishing boat Success late last week. The naval disposal crew hd little trouble finding the mines, since their sides were red with rust and stood out prominently against the r ocky beaches. A'notfieT mine i t ported last we.ek adrift in Finliyson Channel, so Jar has not been seen again. The mines are believed to have drifted from Japanese waters on the Japanese current which crosses the North Pacific and skirts the Alaskan and Brl tish Columbia coast. j THE WEATHER j A storm centre which developed last evening off the Alaskan Panhandle had moved inland ever the extreme northern Bri tish Columbia Coast at forecast time this morning. Rain which Is falling over the northwestern section of the province will be followed by a few showers and clearing skies in that region as the rain area mov;s inland. Increasing cloudiness vis-expected through the Bay over the central coast and into the Cariboo region but the southern part of the province Is expected to remain clear. Fine warm weather is foreseen over the southern part of the province on Tuesday MAYOR KORA E. ARNOLD Sunday received congratulations from friends on her birthday.

BfHhHi ttthm of 1kftm Zmmrjrv' of the press"? hat precisely is meant by that familiar phrase, 'freedom fundamentally it is not a special privilege reserved for newspaper pub lishers. It is rather a phase of a much larger freedom -the freedom of all men to speak their minds openly and without fear. The press claims no right which should not belong to every citizen in a .democracy, but freedom of the press is an all-important part of this larger freedomi because, under modern conditions, the press is the principal agency by which the ordinary man receives the information he needs to judge the actions of his rulers and make up his mind on public issues. Without newspapers, or with only gagged and blindfolded ones, he is in the dark, and helpless. An unlettered press is therefore one of the essential bulwarks of a democratic world. If any proof be needed, it is provided by the record of the Fascist and Nazi dictatorships. Rigid control of all sources of public information, and especially of newspapers, was the corner-stone upon which those regimes were founded. Without it. they could never have held power. With it. they could do as they pleased, to the eventual ruin of their own peoples as well as much of the rest of the world. Iiis disastrous chapter of history should provide a warning against any attempt, by governments or by private interests, to restrict the essential freedom of the press. A free people must stand on guard not only against direct censorship, but also against more insidious encroachments. Nominal freedom is not enough. The only truly free press is one which can record the news faithully and comment on it frankly, without fear of direct or indirect punishment. Neither the press nor the public is safe with anything less than this. ?jijll liberty, of course, involves obligations. The obligation of a free press is to be truly free. It must be thorough, accurate and unbiased in its reporting, sincere and thoughtful in its editorials, and resistant to all outside pressure. It must be both cautious and bold -cautious until it knows all the facts, bold when it is sure of its ground. It must, above all. be inspired by devotion to the public welfare as its staff understands it. uch a newspaper is worthy of the privileges which the English-speaking peoples have traditionally granted to their press. Such a newspaper is also the best guardian of the liberties of the people.

J. nsner, cruel of transportation and communications, foreign trade service, Department of Trade and Commerce, told an informal luncheon, meeting of the trade and commerce committee of the Prince. Rupert Chamber of Commerce on Saturday. Col. Fisher saw , wheat as a basic cargo which might be supplemented by tlni- ber and fishery products such as canned salmon.

In the course of a talk to the meeting. Col. Fisher told of thq efforts being made- to further expand in the post-war period, the foreign trade of Canada and more fully use Canadian ports. A free discussion followed Col, Fisher's talk and various local Ideas were expressed, particularly towards the utilization of tills port. Among those taking part' in the discussion were O. W. Nick-erson. who saw the only thing necessary a little assistance on the part of the government with a view to facilitating the move. ment of the great resources through this port to the markets cf the world. He felt the gov- erment had sufficient stake here to warrant a pioneer service. Shipping subsidies were discuss ed. Dudley G. Little of Terrace saw waterborne shipments through Prince Rupert to export markets as the permanent sal vation of the lumber Industry of the interior. He could see full cargoes going through here. H. G. Perry, speaking on be half of central British Columbia, mentioned the advantageous rate for rail shipment from the interior to Princt Rupert as Compared with New Westminster. After referring to the desirability of settlement of the In terior, Mr. Perry declared that a great weakness of the economy of British Columbia was the centralization of Industrial development around southern B.C. and Vancouver. Mayor Nora Arnold welcomed Col. Fisher's visit and spoke ap preclatlvely of the Interest being shown thereby. She saw Prince Rupert playing a prominent part In the future as a world shipping port. President G. A. Hunter of the Chamber of Commerce Was in the chair and the luncheon was one of the incidents of a busy three days Col.
