A farmer sul a merehant were talking and the question of ¢co- -operation naturally came up. The merchant made the sugges- tion to the farmer that the farmers do uw little co-operating with the businesa houses in Prince Rupert who buy so much Bulkley Valley produce. It is net often that purehases can be made direct, but, the Rupert business honses sel} to the local merchants thro ughout the interior and the farmers can buy those goods from-the Jecal stores. It ix desirable that the farmers, and the other people too who have auy interest in the country insist on the goods pra- dinved or handled by the Prince Rupert firms. Lor iustance, only ene firm ever buys any beef or cattle or sheep from the interior farmers - If the far- mers insisted on that firms processed nents and other preducts the firm in Prince Hupert would be grenily en- conned to da more and do better for the farmers in the interior. It seems u really sensible course for the farmer to pursue. Exspeeially is this su when quality equals aud very often the price is lower. In short, follow the policy of patronizing those who patronize you nud you will not go far astray.

But we do urge that this highway be completed without. delay ly one of the governments. The road ix uveded as a conumerciul road aud as settlers road.
