The property is quarter of a mile from the beach, so there are no transportation problems to overcome. THE Dominion election is over. The results are known. The people have expressed their wish.

To the lady, Mrs. Workman, who cut, shaped and made the garment, the Stork of Skeena to be included in Mackenzie King's cabinet. This Province has for years, both under Sir Wilfrid Laurier, and later Sir Robert Borden, been represented in the Dominion Cabinet; therefore, it is reasonable to suppose that there will be in the next cabinet a member from British Columbia. Fred Stork is the logical man for such a position, for not only is he head and shoulders above his colleagues, but he also has had more experience in the public life of this Province. In addition to this no man has exceeded him as a supporter of his party. One time mayor of Fernie and later of Prince Rupert, he has proved himself not only a leader but a man of executive ability, both in public and in private life as a successful man. British Columbia is entitled to a cabinet minister. The central and northern sections being new need a lot of attention, and no one can serve them better than a man who knows them as Mr. Stork does. Therefore, Stork is the logical man. Get behind him and boost, regardless of party affiliations. The good of the country comes first.

LUNDVALL ��� ASSAYER Hyder Alaska PORTLAND CANAL VOTE THE vote which was polled, both in Stewart and the Premier mine, at the recent election was an agreeable surprise to all those interested in the district. While it was known that the town vote would considerably exceed that which was polled at the Provincial election last year, namely 86, yet the most optimistic did not expect that it would exceed 120. Therefore, with a number of voters away, it was a great surprise when it was found that 145 votes had been cast. At the mines last year there were in all 14 votes polled; while this year the total there was 79. Thus bringing the total poll for the Portland Canal district unacuon.

Our present day system of government is supposed to have done away with the old principle of might is right. But small communities have long since learned that as far as getting consideration from governments is concerned it is still a case of might is right. Might by the power of the ballot.
