Room for Improvement

- There has been some reference made to the desirability.of the northern interior and northern coast buying direct from the east

instead of from Vancouver, for economic reasons. Our atten-

- {tion has been drawn by two local

merchants who have made pur- chases in the east, and at con- siderable saving, but they com- plain about the service given by the freight end of the railway. The time consumed between the date of shipment and the date of arrival is out of all proportion. One shipment of perishables took just a month from Edmonton to Ha- zelton, arriying several weeks after the market for those par ticular goods wasoff. Frequent- ly this has occured. The natural supposition is that these delays are not accidental, not go tnat far, however, but we would say that there is un- necessary carelessness along the railway. Our enquiries have proven to us that the intericr merchants are prepared and wil- ling to buv from the east direct, providing the railway will give a more rapid service, More trains are not asked for, but the mer- chants do ask that the railway bring their goods through on the traing that do run instead of side. tracking lucal shipments at points along’ the road. We do not blame the train crews for hold- ing up shipments, due to eareless or inefficient supervision, and that is some- thing the railway can easily overcome,

Co-operative Marketing

. Lhe success of the agricultural industry of the interior lies in the co-operative marketing of its goods. There are examples aplenty from southern co-opera- tion where millions are being paid the “producer by. satisfied customers. . But co-operative marketing does not mean to sell all possible individually and then ask an association to’ market the overs. That would be the very opposite to co-operation. .

Before the interior goes much farther with experiments it would seem. good business to secre in- formation from successful ‘organ-

Lumber Men 2 Went Through

-The lumber men who recentiy made a trip over. the Canadian National Railway~were carried through the Northern Interior on the regular passenger train. No provision was made for them to stop at any place, and, so far as car’ be learned, no-one was dele- gated by the railway to look after the interests of the north. Had it not been for the enterprise of Olof Hanson’s staff, it is doubtful if the eastern lumber men would

no object. First, last and always it was, ‘‘See what the south has to offer’. . The northern traffic department did not make the best of its opportunity is the belief of the lumber mien in the north.

‘

British Columbia is getting pretty well advertised in the east,

our unjuet freight rates; Fred

traffic to Rupert’s port; the pro- hibitionists of the east and of the west tell of the devil’s: su- premacy in B. C. and the smal! politicians and uninformed party press hammer Fred Dawsod as the ‘‘King of the Bootleggers.”’ Surely sueh advertising will at- tract capitalists, farmers, and home people, as well as the curious tourist and the dry tem- perance spieler.

The Prince Rupert.News re- cently published that a‘ man’ in New York did not know, where Prince Rupert was. That should convince some of the people in Rupert that. they are not the whole American continent. -

Another effort is ta be made by eastern money men .to get started on the pulp mill at Prince George, It would not be a very poor idea if the local member presented the ideal pulp and paper proposition which he knows exists at Hazelton.
