Hon. A. M. Manson, attorney-
genera), recently issued a letter
to all employers in the province
requesting that they give the re-
turned men, and especially those
who have been left less efficient
physically, every opportunity to
secure employment. He points
out that the government of the
province has always given the
returned man the preference and
as 2 result a very large number
is on the government payroll,
All he asks of other employers in
the province is that they follow
the example of the government,

Travelling about the district it
sounds good to hear from prac-
tically every person, ‘'Oh, busi-
ness is pretty good and the out-
look for spring is the best for
many years’. Certainly the tie
and timber business has helped
materially in financing after a
more or less short crop and a
considerable drop in the price of
most produce. There isa genera!
feeling of optimism, and that is
the first step toward good times,

In referring to Hon. Dr. King,
minister of public works at Ot-
tawa, a writer in an eastern
paper says. ‘'King, of B.C., is
still so busy dodging patronage-
hunters from his native province
that he hasn’t much time for
anything else’, Patronage, graft
and British Columbia seem to be
svnonymuus throughout the rest
of Canada. A minister in one of
the leading churches in Vancou-
ver remarked a short time ago
that public opinion needed to be
Christianized. No doubt he had
in mind something similar to the
eastern writer,

_EOUONTON, ALTA:

In our issue of Jast week a let-
ter from Dr. Bayne, of Prince
Rupert, was published. It is
hoped that it was very widely
read and that it made an impres-
sion. While the letter referred

{to one particular locality and one

particular profession; there was
much in it which might well be}*
taken into serious consideration
by all parts of the country,

own shortcomings is probably the
most prevalent disease in the
north, and one which in no way
can help ourselves or the other
fellow, nor will it encourage any
new people to visit or remain
among us. Spring is approach-

Jing and the season to clean up.

Why not disinfect our own ininds,
raise the storm blinds and let the
sunshine in?-

The general manager and the
coast manager of the Canadian
Merchant Marine will visit Prince
Rupert shortly with F.G. Dawson
of the Board of Directors of the
Canadian National Railways. One
thing Prince Rupert should take
up with the managers is a faster
handling of freight from the boat
tothetrain. Interior points have
long suffeied from delay af sev-
eral days owing to the way-freight
leaving the coast almost immedi-
ately after the arrival of the boat
from the south. All interior
freight must lay over in Rupert
until the next freight train. This
is poor business for all parties
concerned, including Kupert,

From Britain

a number of sheep and swine,
and, perhaps, a few cattle, are
to be imported for breeding pur-
poses into Canada from Great
Britain by the’ Dominion De-
partment of agriculture this year.
The horses are being donated to
the government by the Shire
Horse Society of Great Britain.
The director of experimental
farms and the Dominion animal
husbandman have sailed for Eng-
land to assist in making the
selections of the horses at the
London horse show, whieh was
held on February 22 and 23. It
is intimated that these horses
will form the nucleus of.a large

stud of Shires to be maintained

at one of the western experi-
mental stations, The hogs to be
imported will include Yorkshire,

|Tamworth and Berkshire boars

of-bacon type.
While overseas, oceasion will
be taken by Mr. Archibald, the

farms system, to visit Denmark
and make an investigation of the
bacon swine industry, more par-
ticularly with regard to breeding
and feeding methods employed
in that country.
