The interior hus a great in- terest ‘in Prince Rupert. That city is and must always be the chief market for interior products. Every increase in Rupert's wenlth; every increase in her industry, means just so much moie produce from ‘the interior: will be sieed- ed. ‘It, is probably true ‘that most of ‘the farm produce consumed in Rupert comes from the south, ‘but it is not so bad today as it was u couple of years ago. Both the coast city and the in- terior deserve credit. for this improy- ed condition, They are getting better. acquainted with produce and require- ments. Another year or two and the south should be shut out of. the nor th- ern mnorket. . The northern market is growing too. Probably the growth is greater than the increase in preduetion, ‘Lhe city is looking forward toa bigger year than any in its: history, ‘from a com- mercial point of view. The grain’ ele- vator will by no means ‘be responsible (for all the increase, although it is be- Hered that more than double the quan: tity of grain will be handled this year: Saw inills in the city and district .and niininig in the north and'in the interior wil be responsible for a lot of trade in the northern city.’ The interior (will do well to cater more and more ‘to the business of Prince Rupert, ~ One of the most laughable of the nany Inughable stunts the Prince Ru- bert News pulls was the editorial in a recent issue patting Mayor Newton on the back for his. ptogresslveness and pointing out that the Mayor should most certainly be endorsed by the Con- servative party as candidate in Prince Rupert. The News knows that 8 M. Newton is.not and ‘has not been for n long time a member of the -Conserva- tive party. Leading members of the party say that he is not being and will not be asked to Join the party. But the object the News hus is to keep S. M. Newton in the field and make an- other three-cornered fight in. that rid- ing.’ ‘Ehe Conservative party will deal with the matter of a candidate in due course and it, is safe to suy that the News will not bé invited to participate pate in | mnalcing that decision.
