FAIR

INDIANS
Editor,
Daily
News:
The
citizens
of
Prince
Rupert
need
notthink
for
a
moment
that
we
have
any
hard
feelings
against
city
business
concerns.
We
have
enjoyed
circulating
our
earnings
from
fishing
during
the
past
years
in
the
hotels,
restaurants,
picture
shows
and,
especially,
at
the
Carnival.
However,
from
what
I
have
actually
seen
in
the
city
myself,
I
would
say
that
the
last
two
weeks
have
been
among
the
worst
I
can
remember.
Certainly
the
police
are
right
on
the
tail
of
the
native
people,
even
prowling
into
their
hotel
rooms
without
permission
of
the
proprietor.
But
what
about
the
Carnival
this
week-end?
We
understand
that
the
police
do
have
to
keep
law
and
order

PURCHASE
WITH
RUSSIA
and

United

just
now,
prominent
in
the
news
of
the
day,
the
follow-;
ing,
concerning
the
purchase
of
Alaska,
is
not
;
without
timely
interest.
It
is
an
excerpt
from
an
editorial
in
the
Montreal
Qazette
dated
April
30,
;
1867.
It
gives
a
new
slant
on
that
historic
deal,
and
;
of
how
some
were
viewing
public
affairs
eighty-one
;
'
years
ago.
The
Gazette
editorial
reads
:
The
Russians
seem
to
be
quite
elated
at
the
1
success
of
their
negotiations
for
the
sale
of
Russia--
America
and
to
use
a
current
term,
evidently
think
;
lhat
the
United
States
have
got
a
"hard
bargain."
;
The
Yankee
cuteness,
however,
will
yet
stand
them
I
in
good
stead.
It
was
generally
supposed
that
the
;
"bargain"
would
have
to
be
settled
for
good
hard
;
gold,
equal
to
at
least
eleven
millions
in
greenbacks.
;
But
in
this,
it
appears
we
were
all
mistaken,
the
;
Rupsian
government
being
satisfied
to
take
the
;
account
out
in
monitors
instead
of
gold.
We
do
not
know
what
these
may
be
worth
apiece
but,
as
they
i
cannot
have
cost
much
less
than
a
million
each,
the
'
Russians,
if
Congress
consent's
will
be
entitled
to
seven
or
eight.
They
would
undoubtedly
be
well
'
adapted
to
the
shallow
waters
of
the
Baltic
but
the
'
difficulty
will
be
to
get
them
there.
In
anv
event,
;
both
parties
would
be
mutually
satisfied.
The
Uni-,ted
States
will
have
a
territory
perfectly
useless
;for
all
practical
purposes,
and
the
Russians
a
fleet
;
of
flow-going
half-worn-out
war
vessels
which
can
;
never
keep
the
sea
or
make
head
against
the
swift-
cr,
heavier
and

iron-clads
