“TOURISTS ARE COMING

Recent news stories in the daily

now making plans to visit Northerr
BO, coming over .the Cariboo road
to this district: These eight, thousanc

total be when other cities send their
quota? What is to be done locally to
enre for and cater to these people?
Even if only a couple of thousand
get this for it will make the place
look lke a stainpede. It Is. high time
that some steps were being taken. to
wet a line on these people and to

their requirements. These people will
not be looking for free entertainment
nor free neeommodation, and it would
be the height of folly to even to pre-
tend to supply anything frec, They

are prepared to pay for it. There ir

VANCOUVER GETS SORE

Vancouver is not very well satisfied.
at least some sections of the popula-
tion, with the development of: the
grain business at Prince Rupert, and
now thete is a movement.on foot in
the suuth to induce the Dominion
Government andthe railway commis-
sion to mnke aH harbor charges at
Cazndian Pacifie ports equal. This ir
intended to deprive the northern port
of ell ‘its natural ndy antages and ta
conserve to Vancouver nll its advan-
tages. Wil ¥ancoure @r people ever
erow Tp? Many ‘of them are still so
small and-narrow that they would dis-
eredit a villuge or a hamlet, Alberta
‘and Northern British’ Columbia: will
co-operate most heartily to buck ariy
such move: Any increase in handling
costs.at Prince Rupert would be that
muny dollars out of the pockets of
‘the: farmer who.grows the groin, In

Impose 2 direct tnx on grain growers
of Alberta and Northern British Co-
lumbi to assist. themselves and to in-
jeve Prince Rupert. But the northern
port has it all over the southern ports
for, codts in’ handling and saving in
time, There are no dredging charges
in the north and there are no harbor
continissioners at fat salaries to pay,
and these things mean the saving of
hundreds of dollars to ench ship that
‘loads in the north, and therefove, a
‘saving -of the same amount to the
brain growers.
