FIASCO
Great
interest
has
been
aroused
locally
by
the
campaign
just
started
In
connec-tlon
with
the
shipment
of
grain
from
the
port
of
Prince
Rupert
.
This
year
there
have
been
eight
vessels
loaded
here,
as
against
27
last
year.
Apparently
no
efforts
are
made
to
bring
ships
to
this
port
and
the
Pool,
having
its
own
elevator
at
Vancouver,
prefers
!
to
ship
through
that
port,
meanwhile
the
elevator
which
the
government
built
in
order
to
encourage
the
development
of
Prince
Rupert
as
a
grain
shipping
port
is
idle.
Considerable
criticism
is
heard
here
as
to
the
management
of
the
Alberta
Wheat
Pool
It
is
said
that
in
chartering
ships
no
effort
is
made
to
have
them
come
to
Prince
Rupert.
In
fact.
the.
t"-4discovery
at
marge
ui
ninc-pcncc
a
tun
is
rather
encouraged
than
other
wise.
Even
vessels
coming
here
from
the
Orient
make
that
extra
charge,
though
it
is
admitted
by
them
and
by
all
concerned
that
it
is
cheaper
to
come
to
Prince
Rupert.
The
roundabout
manner
in
which
charters
are
secured
is
one
of
the
matters
of
criti-
clsm
If
a
vessel
is
required,
the
Calgary
office
wires
the
agents
at
Vancouver.
That
office
wires
their
agents
at
San
Francisco
and
the
San
Francisco
agents
wire
other
agents
In
London.
The
whole
system
tends
to
wastefulness
and
Prince
Rupert
suffers
as
well
as
the
farmers
whose
grain
Is
being
handled.
It
is
suggested,
and
we
think
the
plan
a
good
one,
that
Prince
Rupert
people
should
unite
in
a
general
aggressive
campaign
to
have
things
set
right
here.
The
Hoard
of
Trade,
city
council
and
the
local
political
organizations
should
all
-use
their
united
efforts
and
no
stone
be
left
unturned
to
bring
about
a
change.
Prince
Rupert
has
nothing
to
lose
by
antagonizing
the
Pool,
for
it
has
received
nothing.
This
year's
business
has
been
almost
a
complete
fiasco.

Stribling,
heavyweight
prize
fighter
of
Georgia,
and
the
south
skyrocketed
last
night
in
the
balmy
cropical
air,
flaring
high
and
then
fallirig
extinguished
in
a
sputtering
blaze
by
the
ramming
fists
of
the
big
Boston
sailor,
Jack
Sharkey,
in
a
slashing
10-round
fight
that
'
was
thrillingly
close
from
start
to
finish.
!
Sharkey
nad
his
hands
lifted
aloft
as
victor
on
the
decision
of
Referee
Lou
Magnolia
of
New
York,
thus
leaping
back
along
the
comeback
road
that
leads
toward
the
crov;n
cast
aside
by
Tunney
last
year.
Sharkey
outpointed
and
outboxed
his
southern
rival
in
a
fast
finish
before
a
crowd
of
close
to
40,000
in
the
most
picturesque
and
colorful
sport
spectacle
the
south
ever
witnessed.
The
gate
will
amount
to
$400,000.
