The merchants _-and business men in town should Monday Baseball “arrange to close up on those afternoons so that _@veryone could see the games. The places of business might be opened again after the game.

Herald has been receiving congratulations “upon the manner ‘in which it has criticised the local road superintendent, the local member’ and the provincial government. The Waking Up. that some one has taken up their|® cause, and they rest their last hope i in the return of more capable representatives to the legislature, and members who can be de- pended tipon to secure those things which are to benefit the district and not the few. political. heel- ers who are living off the appropriations which Capitalists and mine owners are glad of the criticism as they have. been. hoodwinked long enough and it is. time _they-were being given some means of transporta- : tion after having. paid: hundreds. of thousands.of | pam : dollars. into the provincial treasury on the under-|B “standing. that the government would-open.up the|— ~ country. with: wagon ‘roads, trails and bridges.

Government officials even ‘have expressed themselves ‘as. very much opposed to the rank unfairness of the administration of the appropriations in this district, and other povern- ment officials would express themselves the same but have been told to “shut up or quit your job.’. Such is the: state of affairs in Wm. Manson *3 con- stituency, and that gentleman encourages it. bebe et We have no roads in this district. Deputy Minis-| ! ter of Public Works: Griffiths, whois also an .en- gineer of some standing, is reported to. have said in Prince Rupert: ‘‘Roads, why theve are no roads | They are the worst.in]. up there. ‘“You Have the province.’’ Yet a good many No Roads” thousands of dollars have been squandered upon. them, and by Mr. Griffiths’: department, too. During the same conversation Mr. Griffiths :is reported to have said: ‘‘Why do not the mine owners pay half of the cost of the roads needed and the government pay the other haif, When you fellows get mines developed we will consider building roads. ”” oo In the first place mine. owners pay big taxes. In: the early stages, when the roads and trails.are needed. the worst, the. operators have very little money and the government collects ten per cent. royalty on all ore shipped. In the second: place, when a mine.is developed to 4 stage presumably satisfactory to the: government engineer, roads and trails are not so badly needed, as trams and other means. of transportation are installed by the mine owners. The. roads are then only need- ed by the general public whieh sells the ‘supplies tothe mines and must have some way of deliver- ing them, As yet not.a mine owner has asked the government to build a road on their property, All that has been asked is that roads be construct- ed to the properties. After that the owners: will do the work. - Victor Gram-o-phones: and Records _ KODAKS | “AND Ko DAK SUPPLIES | A FULL. LINE ) june g Tackle _ JUST ARRIVED | Upto-Date Drug: Store ! J LD.
