CANADA WILL. HAVE CUSTOMS
 ON TAKU LINE
Authorities to Impose Duty for Protection Against
 American Goods

That the Canadian Government will maintain customs officer at the Alaska British Columbia boun- dary line on the Taku River to supervise imposition of duty on Am erican goods was the information contained in advices received this wek by Assistant Collector of Gus toms M. s. Whittier
 The following excerpt was taken from the Vancouver Province of April 1:
 "Questionnaires sent out to 30 Vancouver firms by the Traffic De- partment of the Board of Trade reveal unanimity in demand that the Customs Department keep bet ter supervision over goods entering the new gold fields on Canadian soil in the Taku River district.
 Reliable information indicates great activity than last year. A circular to representative firms here estimates business expected, if pro- lection is given, of more than $113,O 100000"
 Appearing in the April issue of the Prince Rupert Daily News is the following:
 "Advices have been received here by Olaf Hanson, Liberal candidate for the local Federal constituency that Hon. w. D. Euler, Minister Of Customs, has authorized the es- tablishment of a customs office at the Taku River boundary and it is understood that the officer sta- tioned there will also undertake the duties of immigration officer and that Royal Canadian Mounted Police officer will also be located at the same point. The customs officer will be north immediately.
 Representations have also been made to have a post office estab- lished at Tulsequah and investiga- tions are being made by the Postal Department and MT. Hanson says ne 1eelS sure that an O11lce VIII be established there at an early date"
 An editorial in the News on the same day says: Tt is satisfactory to think quick action is being talk en to see that the Taku mining district is amply protected for the Canadian people by the appoint ment of customs and immigration officers. If the mines prove rich, as they doubtless are, Prince Rup- ert, as the nearest Canadian supply port, should get a good deal of benefit therefrom. Canadian labor too, will get the preference in- stead of all the plums going to the Yankees"
