No Advertising Accepted for Firs* Page OF INTEREST TO TOURISTS IT IS pleasing to note that eastern tourists are paying more attention to the attractions of Portland Canal this year than they have done in the past, as indicated in a statement made by B.C.Keeley, Pacific coast manager of the C. N. R., to a gathering of Stewart business men a short time ago. He said that three shiploads of tourists had been signed up by this line to visit this port during the month of June. This shows that the railway and steamship interests have been spreading some propoganda, to fertilize the seeds sown by pioneers of the tourist tribe who have made side trips into this land of delight during the past few summers, and who all said they would be confirmed boosters. It is not so pleasing to note that the summer boat schedule of the C. N. R. calls for a stop on Sunday mornings of only two hours in Stewart. This moves us to ask: "What's the use of bringing tourists here unless they cam be given a chance to see what there is to see?" As we view it, there are two great longings connected with the tourists' western trek. One is to plant their feet on the soil of Alaska, and the other is to cool these same pedal extremities on glacial ice in midsummer. Both of these ambitions could be realized by the tourists here if they were given time to realize them. Alaska is less than a mile from the Stewart wharf. Four hours would allow the visitor to ramble over glaciers to his heart's content. If the ships stop here six hours instead of two, the dreams of the easterners could come true. A prime factor of the western trip is the matter of cost. Many of the people who take this trip are people of moderate means who have scrimped, and saved the pennies, until they could afford to make the great adventure- To them, the extra cost of the far northern trip around the southern edge of the great Alaskan glaciers is prohibitive; but their longing for scenery and the summer ice is perhaps stronger than that which stirs the heart of the traveler to whom expense is no object. Alaska and glacial ice can be reached from Stewart at a cost of perhaps $100 less than by any other tourist route. We believe the C. N. R. officials are in sympathy with obtaining the greatest passenger trade possible for this port. Wt believe that when they are fully awake tc the advantages of this- port from the tour-, ists' point of view, they will put on an advertising campaign that will result in ar influx of tourists this way. The Board of Trad< of this town has a live publicity committee wh< are now preparing data and gathering photos which will be turned over to the C. N. R. advertising department. We hope there will be a spirit of mutual helpfulness stirred up which will result in a threefold benefit���to Stewart, to the C. N. R., and t( the tourists.

Human nature is so constituted that some of our readers would like to have u.-* feed them on scandal; some would like to have us tell the unvarnished truth about them, while others would like to jail us if we did.

Spokane is awakening. Seattle and Portland, so far as the general run of business men in those communities are concerned, dr not yet realize that the greatest decade in iht mining history of the Pacific Northwest is dawning while they dose. Much credit for the awakening in Vancouver belongs to the Daily Sun, the morning-and-eve- ning paper which recently took over the property of the World and combined the two issues. The provincial government is getting solidly behind the Brit ish Columbia Chamber of Mines. Big business houses are mailing checks to support the chamber'** work. Other similar movements are in progress elsewhere in the province. The Kootenays are organizing, to make certain that the B. C. chamber dees not become exclusively a Vancouver instead of a provincial affair. Leading cities on the American side of the line need to take notice of Vancouver's activities, both for their municipal good and for the good of the mining industry. Spokane is becoming interested, although mining does not loom as large in the life of the Eastarn Washington metropolis as it did in the days when the Paulsen, Hutton. Columbia, Empire State, Peyton and other business blocks were built with the proceeds of mines in British Columbia and Idaho. Attendance is increasing at the luncheons of the mining bodies, however, and faees of n��en not previously associated with mining activities are be.

PORTLAND CANAL NEWS Fifth Street, Stewart. Come boys, greet the boss And a beaker we'll toss To the bucko who makes out the checks. Tonight he is fine, But up at the mine, Tomorrow he'll jolt all our necks. Here lies, his head upon a chunk of muck. The brawny miner, paid off yesterday. The stud game found him sttict- }y out of luck-- The liquor vendor took some coin away. Yet will he rise, and take his drill in hand, And break some more high-grade to ship away; Knowing, alas, his tail is useless and He will blow in again- the next pay day.

Vancouver Special Information Service To all parties interested in Portland Canal mining companies Enquiries Treated in Strictest Confidence. The arrival in town of a crew from the Premier mine to inspect the Dunwell gave the local and outside markets a strong boost in Dunwell and Glacier Creek, as it is the belief of many that whoever takes the Dunwell will also take control in Glacier. All the Glacier creek mining stocks are showing marked improvement. Lakeview holds a steady demand, and as the last 75c issue of this stock is being placed mostly in England a big enhancement in price is looked for in the very near future. Marmot Metals Mining Co. Ltd. (incorporated name of the old Montana grouo of Marmot River) has found a very ready market, the first issue being oversubscribed, which proves that the Marmot district is greatly attracting the public eye. We are led to believe that this property will be a steady shipper this summer. The Porter Idaho Co.. which will soon be in full operation, have decided to withdraw their issue from the market shortly, ample funds having been raised for operating purposes. Mr Porter states that the mine will continue to ship high-grade the coming summer, and hopes to eclipse his splendid record of last summer. Demand for this stock is very strong, with one of the wioest markets of any of the recent incorporations. The general condition points to a big advance in this stock in the early su.Timer.
