In dealing in the home town one has the satisfaction of knowing that the man one deals with helps to pay the school taxes, and Ihe more purchases made here the greater the turnover will be for the merchant, and this means 'more taxes, collected from him to help pay for the schools. A customer gains two. ways. The money is circulated at home and it helps to lighten the burden of taxes on those outside of business circles. To our readers we would sav, give the home stores a chance to make good. Don't say, oh there is no use going there they'have not got it.

A staff cf thirty-five officials here. Uchucklesiv is a big-trm* settla'tient. about one hundred' whites ar.-.i ssv- enty-five Orientals ?.nd In.'ii-'.ns. Here the Wallace Fisheries have a large plant with two lines of math inery for canning- salmon and two for herrings ,so that they can turn, out in all abevt 4.0G0 cases a 6~.y. Away en the Alb?rni Can-'il, some twenty miles inland lies Port Al- berni, a town which has !oru>; s;rjcc .-vied "Ichabod" and p;o-'e to ?.!e?r). 1 Here the Cross-island railway has its! terminus for the nresent, '^;io\'.c-;!i - th It seems hardly possible in these days of quick and easy travel, of competitive transportation, that .there should be a coast on Vancouver -. Island, with a seaboard of over 450 miles that is practically unknown. . And this in a temperate country between the latitude of 45 dc-g\ and 55 deg.! The Canadian Pacific is the only line to send boats to ply up and down this coast and they only call at the different ports every ten days or so. Otherwise these pioneer settlers have no connection with the outside world unless it be at the end of the , Alberni Canal which is so far the only point where the island railway meets the west coast. ���������The west coast is more temperate than the east; the average temperature for January last year up Quat- ������ino Sound was 3(3 deg. Fahr. for August and 58 deg. Fahr. i'or January. The two industries that keep the west coast alive at all are fishing and logging, and all the big salmon- canning companies of British Columbia have stations here. The first port of call is Port Renfrew, at the mouth of the San Juan River, and hare the Defiance Packing Co. of . Vancouver put up 2,000 cases of salmon a day in the season. Then up coast, past the Carmanah Light to Clo-oose. a great-city ..with a population of about sixty whites and forty Indians, where tho Nitinat Cannerv turned out over 55,000 cases in 1917. Away back inland from these ��������� ports towers the great line of moim- - tains that stretch the whole length .���������.of the island, and just here form the watershed of those three wide v_ ... ... _ rivers, the San Juan, the Sarita and -years it takes forva rnodnde^iron the Nitinat.

Not a great deal of debris is coming down. The current is swung around and cutting into the banks at new points. So far there h considered not much danger of disaster, and if today's weather holds, the river will soon go down again. At present it is very high.

The traffic in' alcoholic drinks is being placed in the hands of those who will profit in' proportion to the freedom with which it is consumed. > If the restrictions of permit and- record are waived, there is grave risk that persons authorized-^to sell beer, will sell^whiskey also. The operation of the system of Governments ale is in an experimental stage. The people are entitled to an opportunity of observating of its working. If beer is sold freely, its effects will be indistinguishable from the effects of whiskey. If sold under some form of Local Option in come municipalities it will find its way 'into contiguous territory where a majority have voted for exclusion. Wherever legal sale exists, illicit sale will find shelter and> conceal-/ inentT and what is worst of all fat- 1 taste for alcoholic drinks and the habit of its use, will grow and ��������� spread.
