C, November 7, 1921. II. W. M. Rolston, Esd., Portland Canal News, Stewart: Dear Sir: Referring to you' letter of September 10, as but little publicity would resuk from these samples being exhibited in my office, I have communicated with the Imperial Institute thinking that there they would rind the most useful home in the empire. 1 send you herewith reply received from ihe Imperial Institute, but \ery much question whether ��8. 10, 0, will defray the cost of packing and transport. Of course this mainly depends on the weight of your ! samples. If this sum is not sufficient i please say what tbe cost will be land I will communicate again >\ith the Imperial Institute. Yours faithfully, A. II. VARNIER. The next matter dealt with was tbe entertainment efforts of the association. Mr. Harris was authorized to select a committee to assist him, and to reduce or enlarge the size of the orchestra as his committee see lit. The general opinion was that any entertainments put on must be made to pay. One or two minor |matter* were thus th alt with; after which the mealing adjourned. . . STEWART LOCAL NEWS .

No Advertising Aeeepted for First Page ALICE ARM TRAIL IN our two previous issues we have advocated a system of trails for the district of Atlin. Last week we dealt the northern end; this week we propose to deal with the south. That is, that section of the scheme which would run south from Meziadin lake and continue around to Alice Arm. This trail branching off from Meziadin, which would run south skirting the lake, would be of of great use to the Department of Fisheries in connection with the fish ladder, which is rapidly falling into disrepair for the lack of such communication as would be afforded by this trail. From this point it could take one of two routes. One following down the west bank of the Naas river to the farming settlement in the Ayianish valley, and there connect with the trail down the Illiance river to Alice Arm. Such a trail ations will be necessary. This is only natural, and does not affect the general idea of the scheme in the slightest. No new country anywhere in the world can be developed without trails. Trails are a primary necessity. Better means of communication follow the trails automatically. Atlin has greater natural resources than any other section of Canada of the same size, and at the same time is easier of access. These cannot, and never will, be developed without trails. We, therefore, appeal to the people of the entire riding to get together and work for the consummation of this or some similar trail system. God helps them who helps themselves.

Thig has a special interest for Canada srom the fact that under Article X of the Pelagic Sealing Treaty negotiated between Great Biilain and the United States in 1911 Canada was awarded fifteen per cent of the number of seals killed on these islands. The total proceeds of the Pribilofs last year, of course, are not confined to seals, blue and white foxes, for example, accountingfor $80,- 669, but it is not improbable that the mammals covered by the treaty contributed approximately $700,000 of the aggregate in which case Canada's share would exceed $100,000. Moreover, the seal population of the islands is increasing noticeably, the estimate showing an advance from 552,718 in 1920 to 587,820 in 1921. Service For The Thrifty Thrift is a habit that should be cultivated not merely to make provision for the future, but because of a desire for advancement and full achievement, and for the sturdy independence, the happiness and the contentment that it brings. The Bank of Montreal co-operates with the thrifty by means of a Savings Department in every one of its Branches throughout Canada. In this Department a Savings Account may be suited with any sum from One Dollar upwards. Interest at highest current rates is paid on all savings deposits.

NOTE AND COMMENT Boost for home rule for Stewart. We are big enough to run our own affairs. but would at the same time tend to stimulate agricultural settlement of the Naas. An alternate route to this, which would serve the mining areas only, and while possibly more difficult of construction, would be much shorter, would be to run due south to the foot of Meziadin lake across to the White river, up it to the forks, and then up its most southerly tributary and over the summit to the Kit- The fellow who marriet & bow-legged girl sault, and down it to the head of the these days has no excuse that he can't see what railway. he's getting.
