Law Unfair to Our Travellers.
lSeattle Star.l


 The West Coast is not alone in opposing the bill introduced in the United States, Senate to bar for eign vessels from passenger trade with the United States except on Atlantic and trans-PacifiC voyages.
 The bill. for the purpose of protecting American passenger lines would practically eliminate the fa nous triangle" by foreign vessels from the United States or its possessions to foregn ports and return It is opposed by tourist bodies, Pacific Coast and Alaskan Chambers of Commerce and com munity organizations Eastern newspapers voice the Eastern opposition view broad general principles Declaring the bill a confession of a weakness rather than demonstration of strength" the Phil adelphia Public Ledger states:
 It may be necessary to enforce the law relating to coastwise trade against the gently popular cruises to nowhere" by for egn ships; but the legislation which has been introduced to this end is of such wide scope that it is likely to injure the American merchant marine than to aid it. One objectionable feature is the proposal to exclude foreign shipping from cruises to nearby ports presumably Canadian and West Indian points.
 American travellers certain to resent such restriction of their liberty to choose whatever ship they prefer and thus actually create a sentiment against the vessels it is supposed to favor
 The New York Herald Tribune says:
 The bills (to restrict American cruise trade to American-flag lnes) bad bills; the principles which underlie are even worse for they seem to imply that American shipping has no answer to adverse conditions except to run to Congress for legislation in its aid. This bill would be dangerous and highly re- strictive while assisting shipping they might injure many other businesses. which are now patronized by foreign shipping firms, and by dctating the kind of ships which American cruise passenger must use they would risk turning popular support for the merchant marine to disgust.
 From the New York Sun:
 The measure is unfair not only to the foreign ships which now sail from American ports, but to the American travellers who wish to use them. The short cruises at which the bill apparently is chiefly aimed, are beneficial to ocean trade for they ac- custom to sea travel many persons who hesitate to cross the Atlantic until they made trustful by shorter trips

Back to the Land.
(Prince Rupert News)

One encouraging feature of the present financial difficulties is the movement back to the land in British Columbia as shown in the report made by Hon Nels Lougheed last week in the Legislature. Hitherto British Columbia has imported vast quan- titles of produce but if the present movement con- tinues it looks as if the Province would soon be growing her own.
 The movement to the Peace country has assumed vast proportions possibly with the idea that the western outlet would be constructed soon Whether it will continue since the immediate construction of the outlet seems to have been abandoned will be proved within the next few months. The more people that move in there the greater will be the influence for railway construction.

Minnesota Expects
Diminished Crowd

Minneapolis, Oct. 2S.-tP)-
Keepers of the gates and the
ushers at Memorial Stadium are
going to be less busy on the job
Saturday than they have been
in a half dozen homecoming foot
ball games for the University Of
Minnesota.
Although it will be the smallest
homecoming crowd Of these last
six years. it figures to be the larg-
est of the present campaign at
home. Only the Michigan game
at the close of the schedule has
a chance of exceeding it.
The official prediction today
said good weather the rest of the
week would pull an attendance of
10000. If the sun doesn't smile
over this period of time perhaps
the results will be only $4,000 or
less.
Handlers Of the ticket sales
blamed the laggard disposal of
duckats onto two factors-hard
times and the fact Minnesota has
three supposedly good drawing
cards on the home schedule with
fans picking" their game.
