 The big convention is to be held here
 next month Let this Skeena River be the
 leading subject and let it be put forward In
 such manner that it cannot escape notice.
 If necessary let the convention travel to
 Victoria in body and storm the executive

 own Province and put through the orad our

 The people of Alaska wish more power to Prince Rupert May she get her road and get it at once And then may the road be extended to the Alaska boundary so that we might hitch our road system % it. If that were done there would be thousand ,n thousands of Americans to ride the full lengtf of British Columbia each year. Alaskans would ust he road in large numbers. And all these American: and Alaskans would contribute to the welfare o British Columbia. They all eat. Most of then moke and many of them drink. Probably most o1 hem would sleep in hotels.

The girls are going to quit get ting their heads shingled and may be if now they would get the other part of them shingled their parents might have fewer sleepless nights.
 A business man won't hire a girl as stenographer if she can't do anything but look pretty, but he'll marry her as a helpmate when he knows that's all on earth she can do.
 The trouble about marrying for love is that there isn't much of a chance of divorcing for alimony.
 The undies for men now also are being made of silk and in dainty colors. but unless the male styles change radically before summer there won't be much chance of dis playing them in the street cars the way the girls do theirs.
 Many a womans husband looks like she had picked him when all the he-men were fighting to make the world safe for democracy.
 If Nature had intended men to go shopping with their wives she would have provided them with a heap more ability to love and have given them a double dose of the patience she did Job.
 The probabilities are that if the young man who is so scared while asking for his daughter could read her fathers mind he'd be shocked to discover the only trouble the old gent is thinking of making is plenty if he doesn't take daughter off his hands.

MAY PRINCE RUPERT GET THE ROAD.

There is to be convention of Northern brl'isi Columbia sections at Prince Rupert tnls moii'n consider matters of importance to them. lhe eii'e prising and able Prince Rupert News urges LII convention to make the construction ol ihsii wav that would connect Prince Rupert and otne Northern British Columbia points with the highwa system of the Province and, thereby with the Pa cific Highway, paramount issue
 Among other things, the News recently said:
 Prince Rupert's future prosperity depends upon the building of highway.
 The City of Prince Rupert is the only city in Canada today that has no high way leading to it. In that it is unique among cities but unfortunately not having one IS a great loss. In the days before tourlse travel this would not have mattered much but with the arrival of automobile touring as one of Canadas greatest industries, Prince Rupert is cut off from sharing in it.
 In 1927 considerably over thousand cars came through to Hazelton and turned back Last year the number ran into several thousands. This year if there was high way along the Skeena River there would be at least five thousand come to Prince Rupert and they would spend a few days here before turning back A few of the people would camp in the tourist park that would have to be provided. Most of them would stay at local hotels, would buy tires, oil gasoline and clothes; would eat at the restaurants; would leave thousands of dollars here.
 To the people of Prince Rupert, of Ter race of Hazelton, of Smithers of Telkwa, of Houston, of Burns Lake of Endako, of Fraser Lake, of Vanderhoof, of Prince George, of Quesnel, and of intermediate points we say this: Let all work to- gether to insist that this highway be built into Prince Rupert By the time it be built, even at the best possible speed, ten thousand will be ready to through to Prince Rupert and they will all leave money as they pass along the route.

his blue eyes had the large pupiled
look that comes from mental as well
as physical strain.
Suddenly they came out of the

road. One more sharp turn and they
paused before a house.

$4,000 KILLED.!

Twenty-seven thousand people were
killed by autos in the United States
during the year just closed. These
deaths occurred in more than 100000
auto accidents.
1t is estimated that the economic
cost will run close to $85O,000,0O0.
The National Safety Council points
out that the economic cost, stagger-
ing as it is, after all is the least i'm
portant factor.
The real cost lies in human suffer
ing, misery, broken homes and brok-
en- hearts. Such costs are immeasur-
able.
Grief and suffering will carry on
long after cash costs have been fully
paid and receipted for. Tragedy cuts
deep into the human heart. Time
mayor may not-heal the wounds.
Those who live to regret and mourn
are the victims, too. Their burden is
made even heavier with the knowledge
that carelessness is responsible for
most automobile calamities.
Until the American people awaken
to sense of individual responsibility
in this most vital national problem,
there can be no real reduction in this
ever enlarging death list.

PROTEST ON RAID
! DENIED BY TESS
Statement Attributed to Ohio
Treasurer Without Basis
of Fact, He Says.

Senator Fess, Republican, of Ohio,
fatty denied today that he had pro-
tested in october against the raiding of
the Jackson Brewery Co. of Cincinnati.
Senator Fess made this denial on his
arrival at noon today from Providence,
Fl. I. His attention was called to the
testimony in Ohio yesterday of John F.
Eckhart, acting assistant prohibition
director of Ohio in which Eckhart
stated that Bert B. Buckley, State
treasurer had told him that Senator
Tess had protested in october against
the raid. Senator Fess made the fol-
lowing statement:
THE reported statement of Mr..
Buckley carried in this mornings press
Is without scintilla or basis of fact.
had never had an intimation of the
trouble of Mr.. Buckley until within 10
days of the indictment, when Mr. Mau,
in my Office here, mentioned the posi-
bility of an indictment. The news was
shocking to me, for it was the first sug-
gestion / had had of it. My only advice
to Mr.. Mau was that there was no
course open to him except to go to the
bottom of the affair. Any suggestion
that l had spoken as reported to Mr..
Buckley or to any other person during
the campaign is without any foundation
whatever. In no way, either by direct
expression or by inference or any con-
versation with any one, could such a
conclusion be reached. In no way, at
any time, did seek to influence this
case, unless my statement to Mr.. Mau
that he should go to the bottom of it
might be regarded as such influence"
