You will never get any | of it back and the Northern B.C. farmer will not be able to:spend any money with you: because I do not buy his spuds, but I should worry so long as I get my profit.” That line of argument on-the part ef a Prince Rupert merchant is the worst possible for the North- ern Interior and for Prince Ru- pert. There are numerous cars of spuds in the Interior awaiting a market. No need to import inferior prairie spuds nor south- ern B. G. spuds. : - ” Mrs, T. H..
