Last week ao resident of Prince Ru-
pert wrote a ‘letter to one of the pa-
pers and suggested that the Canadian
National Railways -turn their atten-
tion to Prince Rupert and its north
branch, The letter pointed out that
after twenty or more years bucking
the @. DP. R. from the back door of Fan
couver the Canadian National had ac-
complished practically nothing, even
in spite of the millions of dollars the
Dominion Government had dumped in
to help out an unjustifiable attempt
to profit at the expence of the C. P.R.

Mlany years. ago this paper. “in its
feeble way tried to point out the utter
fully of the policy of the Canadian Na-
tional and the Dominion Government.
The railwny company not only has Lost

north country have been practically |.

starve out, Hundreds of people have
left the country, hundreds of farms
hare been ubandoned, mines were un-
nble to operate and no new capital wes
uhle to eome in for fear of the high
cost of transportation, the lack of any
support or ‘ eneouragement from the
riilway company. (There has been a

little improvement in the latter regard |

in recent years.)

While fighting the C. P. R. the Can:
adian National has neglected the north
country almost completely, and the
nieth country is a far richer country
than the south any way one wishes to
tuke it, Not anly is it a vich country |
that would pay big dividends if de-

yeloped but it is closer to the Orient |.

THE ROYAL CANADIAN MOUNTED

Jt was with a good deal of pride we
read of the fine impression « «the ,Royal
Canadian Mounted Police escort, made
when it accompanied the Prime Minis-
ter in the great Coronation procession
in London. Those beautiful, horses,
wonderfully. trained, commanded ad-
miration, There were 87 in: the escort
So perfect are these horses, so alike
are they, so almost human in their w-
derstanding, that there is a very wide
impression that the Terce breeds. its
own. horses. This is not the case. The
remounts are purchised, from farmers
and ranchers throughout Conada. To
\choose them demands a most discern-
ing eye and necurate : ‘judgment of
horses. The remounts are * usnally
qivehased in ‘the ‘district where they
ave required to serve as experience
shows that they will do ‘better w here
they have been raised, for the reasou
that they. have been ‘Aimatized .to. it.
Prior to the Foree’s duties being ¢ex-
tended into the eastern provinces. most
of the remounts were purchased in the

range, were accustomed to the clima-
tie conditions there and. were | instinct:
