The movement started recent-
ly on the prairies for a nation-
wide campaizn against govern-
ment extravagance is making
good progress. The movement
is non-political. It is clearly an
earnest desire to lower taxation
and one of the hest ways to
do this is to abolish most of the
‘efficiency’ stunts advocated by
the office specialty manufaectu-
rers which cost the government
millions of dollars to insta] and
more millions to maintain; that
have caused overlapping in atl
departments; that take several
clerks to Iccate a document that
was formerly located by one.
Another considerable saving in
public works in this district could

‘be made by working the herd of

government horses in the winter
instead of keeping men to feed
them and watch them play in thé
barn yard all day, _

In the east end of the new
Skeena riding one hears unfavor-
able comment on the Idecation of
the boundaries. The government,
however, points out that in order
to get the voting strength of the

‘north so divided that a new

member could be worked in, the
boundaries selected were the only
ones possible, There was bound
to be a difference of opinion no
matter what the division might

have been, and if we have any

faith in the future of our country
we must realize that the present
arrangement can only be a tem-
porary one at best. The main
issue at the next election should
be, and most likely willl be, the
man himself. Hide bound party-
ism in provincial affairs is not the
best for the country nor for the
district.

From present indications and
recent political speeches it is a
safe bet that the next election
campaign will be even more
wearisome than those of the re-
eent past. Mud will fly in. all
directions, and it will be some

old mud that has been thrown|.

backward and forward for the
past couple of years. The voters
have not yet much to look for-
ward to, and the P.G.E, investi-
gation will be so stale that no-
thing can be expected from that
quarter to stir up excitement.

|The wickedness of the other

fellow will-take such a promin-

ent: part, that such matters as.

curtailment of useless expendi-
tures and the reduction of taxes
will be entirely overlooked, while
the development of resources
|| and. the ‘establishment of indus-
tries will be. ignored entirely,

|There .will:-be ‘no time for any-

thing’ but ‘abuse | of. the other

fellow, not: of. the: other" ‘Party,

but the other individual.

Another breeze visited Rupert
last week and-did considerable
damage, particularly to wooden
sidewalks. The coast city will
have to use concrete for all side-
walks if it is desired to keen
them in any particular place.

In some parts of the province

o0|the publie works department is

hauling gravel onto the roads
and preparing for the spring
work, © In Omineca a large flack
of horses are kept in the govern-
ment’ barns eating hay and oats,
and doing nothing to earn their
feed.

~

A sample of lime found on
Peter White's farm near Telk wa,
and also on F. M. Dockriil’s
place, has been sent to Victoria
for analysis. This deposit may
prove of much value to the
Bulkley Valley.

A beer vote next June will not
help the thirsty over next sum-
mer’s hot weather as such new
stunts are seldom given effect
for several months, Probably
beer will be for sale by the first
of the New Year.

Not Inferior— Better

Attention is called by Hon.
William Sloan, commissioner of
fisheries, to the campaign pre-
ceeding the recent election in
Great Britain, when opponents
of preferential trade with the
overseas dominions stated that
Canadian canned salmon was in-
ferior to the American pack, This
statement raised the ire of Agent-
General F.C. Wade, who secured
letters from many leading British
dealers in canned salmon, letters
which showed" plainly, that . the
