It means that, the government must adopt a more economical system of making those expenditures, At least half the cost of the civil service could well be disposed with, and the work done more efficiently. Another big saving could be made in the system of handling public works, But it is an even bet that whatever reductions are made will be reduction of de- velopment ‘with an increase of administration evosts, The third party was created by the enor- mous increase in taxes with no productive results, and in ad- dition the inability of the indi- vidual to make money.

Henry; SMITHERS terprises is grabbed off by the government. The people are looking for a lighter burden to pack and it is up to the old time parties to put forth a policy of economy and wisdom. [very voter knows what the premier and the leader of the opposition think of each other and the voters are fed up on the childish whinings of the politicians. The old time parties must either get down to business or stand for third parties cropping up to mess things up. A reduction of taxes and encouragement for indus- tries is the need. C.N.R Revenues Increase In an official statement issued on January 18 by Sir Henry W. Thornton, chairman and presi- dent of the Canadian National Railways, the net revenues of the aystem for the year 1928 are placed at $20,127,447, being an inerease of $17,648,935 in net revenues over 1922, The state- ment says: The following represents brief- ly the financial performance of the Canadian National Kailways for the year 1923 as compared with 1922, Operating revnues for 1928 were $264,662, 447; 1922, $233, 656,889, increase $21,006,- 559. Operating expenses for 1928 were $243,535,000; 1922, $231, 176,876, increase $3,858,624. Net revenues for 1923 were $20, jl eresse $17,646,935. The figures 127,447; 1922, $2,480,512, ° -in- for 1923 are subject ‘to slight alterations as some: of the itens entering into both revenues and expenses are estimated, but the The statement speaks for it- self and- complete detailed in- formation with respect to all matters of interest relating to the National Railway svstem will be published in the annual report, which is now in preparation. But the administration desired promptly to acquaint the people of Canada with the general re sult. It is not possible to en- ter upon a detailed discussion of the company’s affairs at this tima, but the directors and the chairman feel justified in taking " LARGEST DRUG HOUSE IN NORTHERN BRITISH COLUMBIA MADE-TO- MEASURE advantage of this opportunity to express the hone that the service rendered in 1924 will merit the same generous support as has SECURING HERNIA ~.

It is even betting that the Do- miniun government will go to the people before the provincial gov- ernment does. The latter gov- ernment will not likely call an election before the last possible session has been held. Oakville, Ont., and Kelowna, B.C., boast of the wonderful reeords of electing -the same mayor year after year for a gen- eration. Mayor Newton has started to establish a record for himself in Prince Rupert. Prince Rupert Exhibition made some money last year and so did Smithers Fair board. Fairs will be held in both those centres this year. Terrace Fair has been dropped unless a new association is organized, - The Terrace Fair did not advertise, and only a handful of people knew when or where it was to be held. Hence the failure. Fire-proofing Wood Wood is such a convenient ma- terial, on actount of the ease with which it is worked, its relative strength, its low | cost and attractive appearance, that if it could be rendered fireproof it would be almost ideal for many purposes. The forest products laboratories of the forest branch, department of the interior, are investigating various processes for rendering wood resistant to fire. The laboratories point out that it is possible, by impregna- tion with certain salts, to render wood fire-retardant, thia is, to dserease‘its natural inflammabil- ity very considerably. . It-can thus be made extremely difficult to ignite and the persistence of glowing embers can be prevented.
