The Best Meats at the Lowest Prices RUPERT BRAND HAMS AND BACON ELECTRIC LIGHT In the matter of endorsing the application for a franchise which local men are to make at the next session of the Legislature, the people here will do well to consider the fact that electric light and water, for fire protection, are now vitally necessary to the growth and development of the town and no obstacle should [be put in the way of securing those utilities. In granting a'franchise, however, the government will be well advised to protect the future city that may some day come into being in every possible wiy. Having the exclusive right to supply light, power, telephone and water to the people of Stewart and vicinity the Company must perforce give assurance that adequate and continuous service will be given and maintained. The general public will endorse the fact that the services are needed and wanted, it is then up to the government to see that they are protected. Seven meetings of various organizations in one week contitutes a record. Who said Stewart was dead? LIBERTY vs LICENSE Liberty of action is an Anglo-Saxon perogative, but there is a sharp dividing line between 'liberty' and 'license' Liberty of action must carry with it the utmost consideration for others. If this consideration is lacking liberty becomes license and license is an affront to all that stands for good citizenship. All broadminded citizens are prepared to allow a great latitude in the manner in which others conduct themselves in having a good time but the fact that liberty does not constiute license must not be lost sight of. From the beginning of history, and continuing no doubt until the last page is written; Life has been and will be a struggle to subdue the element in the individual as well as the world at large, that is always endeavoring to transmute liberty into license. The dividing line must be maintained, for this element strikes at the foundation of the home itself. That the New Years dance given by the Stewart Citizens' Association was considered a success was due, perhaps in no small measure, to the stand taken by those in charge to uphold the dignity of the rights of liberty versus the frowardness of license. A great deal of intercut is being manifested here, as it no doubt is elsewhere, in the possible appointees to the post of liquor vendor. Oil, however, supersedes even the liquor vendor question as a topic of conversation. Some hard trips are being made beside a roaring coal stove. *> PROFESSIONAL CARDS. DALBY B.

VALVES FITTINGS PIPE STEAM GOODS PLUMBERS SUPPLIES Stewart, I r��' m Look at the map of British Columbia with an unbiased mind. Roughly Vancouver is 8<X) miles from the same point in the Peace River country that is reach' d in -100 miles from Stewart, which is the natural outlet fof the whole northern and eastern interior. Nearly every settler in the Peace River district is talking of railway communication with the coast* Speaking in broad terms there are thirty-two millions of acres of the Peace River district situated within the boundaries of British Columbia, and more than forty millions of acres within the Province of Alberta, most of it being suitable agricultural land for mixed farming or ranching. In addition there is a vast area of mineral and timber resources, the extent of which is I only beginning to be realized. Immense deposits of anthracite coal: have been located and the president ol the Peace River Board of Trade is authority for the statement that this coal grades higher than Pennsylvania coal. Extensive exploration work is being carried on in connection with oil anil already startling results have been ob. tained. The oil sands are located at a depth of about sixteen hundred foet and enough investigation has taken place to be assured that they are of wonderful extent. There is also an abundance of natural gas. The ar^a under cultivation at present is only about three hundred thousand acres and the population of the whole district is about twenty thousand. The first grain was sent out of the country three years ago, and consisted of less than one thousand bushels. Last year nine million bushels were produced from about a quarter million acres, the average wheat yield being thirty-five bushels to the acre or nearly double the average of other portions of Alberta. The land is also well adapted for the raising of stock of all kinds, particu larly hogs. lt is reasonable to suppose that if two hundred and fifty thousand acres are now producing nine million bushels of grain, that within a very few years there will be ten million acres producing three hundred and fifty million bushels of grain, or roughly, ten million tons.
