by extending us Cabinet representa-

pointment.

from headaches. In order to contri-

them with licences on the spot, and
that residents of the province shouid
be able to procure any licence ther
want at their local Post Office. The
P.M. should be permitted to deduct a
small fee for the service which, par-
ticularly in the rural Post Offices,

In case the Editor is all prepared to
tell us the Post Ojifice is a federal
affair we would point out Postmast-

ter. Of course, those are issued gra-
us. We get a little tired of this
hoighty-toighty business of ‘‘we are
Federal” or “We are Provineal.” It
is high time there was a little moe
co-operation-in the interests of econ-

pondering whether Canada is really
one country or a bunch of penny ante

Longview, Wasb.
Bditor ‘The Tribune,

Dear Sir: The former editor of
your paper, Mr. Geo. Renner, made
numerous trips to the States, and
made many friends for Williams
Lake and vicinity. He truly was an
ambassador of good will between the
two countries. He even went so far
as to haye a boat on top of his car
so that he could take visitors out to
some lake or stream, to verify his
words that he lived in the most
glorious country in the world. In
that same friendly spirit we hope oe Bis
that you listen to our complaint. Canada's 10th province, New-
