THE Hospital Board from time to time have come to the people of this community for funds with Which to equip and help maintain the Stewart General Hospital. With this policy we are heartily in accord, and at ail times willing to lend every possible assistance. We may be wrong; but we understand that the board are now in need of funds and will, of necessity, soon have to come to the people for money; therefore, we wish to suggest that in justice to themselves, the public as a whole, and also the management of the hospital for the past two years, in fact to all parties concerned, the exact condition of the hospital be published. And,in this connection we herewith offer the columns of The Portland Canal News free of charge. In suggesting such publication we refer particularly to the inventories of hospital furniture and equipment taken during the past two years. The reason for allowing such a period is because we understand, that while an inventory was taken approximately two years ago, another one was not taiten untiljijust recently. In suggesting the publication of these inventories, we do so for the reason that we understand that the one taken recently shows a considerable deficiency over the one taken two years ago. And if such is the case the public, as contributors to the hospital, have a right to know what they are, and the extent of them. If there are no shortages, this fact, in justice to the board itself.-should be published. AT STEWART DOMINION DAY Mrs. W. L. Balch of Hyder. left for the south on the Rupert, Rupert.

No Advertising Accepted for First Page INTERNATIONAL WATERWAY MUCH interest is felt in the Northern Mississippi valley over the announcement that the United States government is ready to take up with Canada the discussion of the St. Lawrence ship canal project. Rejoicing people seem to assume that the consent of the United States is main element in the project. They have something to learn. This great project of making ocean ports of the cities on Lake Ontario was not promoted in Canada. The people of Canada have not been waiting with suspended breath to see whether the United States government would give it consideration. Even if opinion in the United States were unanimous in favor of this adventure there would still be grave obstacles. If the United States were prepared to pay the whole cost there would still be difficulties. It is probable that before the session of the Canadian parliament closes an ex- dression of opinion may be given by the house of commons. No one can say at present what the decision will be. We know that Quebec members will be strongly opposed to the project. Montreal condemns it. Lake Ontario districts are mostly in favor of the scheme. Apart from these sections, which are directly interested one way or the other, no great interest has been shown in Canada. It will prob&bly be found that Canadians generally consider that at present they need some other things more than this deep waterway. land. This admission leaves the impression that the pact of the Free State leader with Mr. de Valera is disagreeable to the former. Early announcement of this Dublin agreement did not state that it included a coalition government of which Mr. de Valera would be a member. This is the most serious feature of the arrangement, for there is no pretense that the former Sinn Fein leader is a convert to the supremacy of the British Empire. Coalitions are not new to the British constitution, but there was never before a coalition government in the British dominions in which some of the ministers openly refused allegiance to king and empire. Even Hertzog declared his allegiance, though he did it with mental reservations. If the Free State h a British state and de Valera is still a determined republican he can not honestly be a member of the Collins administration. NOTE AND COMMENT All is not fair in love. Some men prefer brunettes. A maker of suspenders is not necessarily a hold-up man. A man without a good upper stope is like a; flower without perfume. Last week a man in Victoria drank a pint of shellac. He saw his finish. Thc Stewart younj? man who gets up with the sun. should not stay up later than midnight with the daughter. H It is said that George Washington never told a lie in his life. But he never edited a paper in Prince Rupert. New York had 91 murders in 92 days. This shows that the five-day week hasn't been adopted yet by New Yorkers. Stewart has several born comedians. But that's no reason why they should make durn fools jof themselves trying to act funny. An advertisement in a Vaucouver paper tells of a new Way to paint without oil. Nothing new 'in that. Girls have been doing it for a long time. MR. STEWART'S DEFENSE Pilgrim, refuse to have anything to do with the man who holds different beliefs from your own. You are then classed as Life's greatest idiot. t- The Portland Canal News editor has to contend with two classes���those who want to know why it was published and those who want to know- why it wasn't. WHATEVER may be said about the arguments of the minister of the interior in favor of the reciprocity treaty of 1911, conservatives can find little fault with his plea for the practical maintenance of the present customs tariff. Mr. Stewart says that the government needs the money, and that income taxes are already so high that they can not be effectively increased. The minister is a prairie farmer and has already suffered many things from Alberta progressives. Because of these neighbors he represents a" Quebec constituency, though he has been premier of Alberta. Bui he does not allow the prairie progres- siveg to convince him that the time has come for sweeping reductions in the tariff or that the policy of protection should be abolished. This declaration may compel Mr. Stewart to sit for Argenteuil another term, but it recognizes the fact t hat the government has to deal with conditions and not theories. THE KHttUNTIAI.

Already several parties have left Vanderhoof for the northern gold fields. Other parties have signified their intention of making trips north in the immediate future. Splendid opportunities await the experienced gold miner in the Omenica, according to statements made by David H. Hoy of the Stuart lake country. He is an experienced prospector, having spent years in the Yukon. "I made a trip in there last winter, and looking over that per pound, whereas in the old days it cost fifty cents. "The old bars on the Omenica river, where considerable money was taken out in the early days, have not been worked for years. After the high water of last year I would say that good money could be made there. "I saw some fine specimens of quartz when I was in that dis- triet.

One Brown was prospecting on the mountain above Uniontown, and one evening he saw some bats coming out of a crevice in the rocks. Next morning he examined the fissure and found some indications of silver ore. He thought the pros- pect worth investigating and : staked the ground and commenced sinking a shaft. As it was not a tunneling proposition, he made a ladder from a cedar pole bv cutting the limbs off a few inches from the body of the tree. When he had got the shaft ;down about 15 feet he loaded a 1 round of holes, climbed out and hoisted up his tools, ln telling , the history afterwards, Crown said that for 15 minutes after the shot went off there was a con- STEWART NEWS COMPANY H.

There seemed no bottom in the shaft, only a great hole yawning into the darkness below. The prospector hurried to town for some rope and a Mormon to enable him to explore the hole. They rigged up their windlass and he was lowered down 40 feet. His candle showed him a cave about 70 feet square, with a small opening at one end, which led into another cave somewhat smaller; in fact, there was a series of these caves diminishing in size, the further he went, until he came to the end, which was about 500 feet from where he started. On the roof and floor of each cave were blocks of silver or great richness. He sold this mine for $370,000.

Plenty of room for the lures that lead the henrts of our youth astray-; Bnt never a cant on the playground spent-no never a place to play. Plenty of room for schools and halls, plenty of room for art; Plenty of room for teas and balls, platform, stage and mart, Proud is the town���she finds a place for many a fad today; But she's more than blind if she fails to find a place for the boys to play!

Jonah and a jelly fish fotrnd themselves in the basement of a whale. Jonah took the first elevator going up���the jelly fish stayed there. That's a common story. It's as hard to keep a loafer on the top as to keep a good man down. Everybody has a backbone with his head at one end, and at the other���a plaee'to sit down. Some guys use one end most-- some use the other. Anybody can tell which end the guy uses by his pay check ��� heads he wins, tails he loses. genuine, and the latter part from the Spanish word 'toro' meaning bull. A Rolling Stone A Toronto man took a run not long into Bruce county, to a town where he had lived as a boy. He accosted a venerable man of some eighty years, who proved to be the very person to answer certain inquiries concerning the place. Finally the Toronto man sBid "I suppose you have always lived around here?" "No," said the old man, 'T was born fully one mile from here.'*" MARY UP TO NOW Sary had a little lamb. That day has passed away, No lamb could follow at the pace That Mary sets today. Now, Mary sits at motor wheel, With skirts too short by half; No lambkin, stays here airy flight, But you can see her calf. Our idea of a really fast guy is a fellow who can turn the light: out and jump into bed before tht room gets dark. NOTICE Longer Skirts, or Blinders Longer skirts for women, lower steps for street cars o-- blinders for men. Toronto must have one of the three in order to prevent a steady increase in accidents. The women wear such short skirts that when they start to climb up the high street car steps���well, the men can't seem to keep their eyes to the front and many accidents occur, particularly among motorists.
