Many shipment* of\npears, peaches, plume and apples\nare arriving from Washington.\nMostly all varieties shipped in are\nin direct competition witb British\nColumbia, and tbe same applies to\nOntario shipments. If competition\nagainst other parts were the only\ndifficulty, it would be rapidly solved\nand British Columbia would be in\npossession of the lion's share nf all\nprairie market. Jobbers complain\ntbat they are losing money instead\nof making it in what should be their\nharvest time. The reason is, there\nare ton many \"free lance\" shippers\nin British Columbia wbo sell for\ncircles of growers, and the chief\npoint iu tbeir sales seems to be, gelling a little below the co-ordinated\nshipper's price. If they do not aun\nthorize this direct, tbe houses they\nconsign to proceed to Mo so\u00E2\u0080\u0094the result is the same. The (ault doeB not\nlie in tbe number of shippets, but\nin their \"tree lance\" tactics. A lot\nis heard about \"(lumping Washington fruit here\" and this is true to\nsome extent and will be regulated\nwithin a few days by the application of the dumping clause. When\nit does apply conditions will not\nimprove, due to uncontrolled con*\naignments. British Columbia growers will not be able to make ends\nmeet untii they have a stronger\ncheck upon their ''free lance\" shippers aod those they consign to.\nSome of these shippers are members\nol the Traffic & Credit association.\nIt appears that a controlled distribution of all British Columbia fruit\nshipped to prairie points is needed,\nnot so muoh to secure higher prices,\nbut for tbe purpose of preventing\nthose to wbom it is consigned from\nbreaking the market unnecessarily\nand to secure intelligent market information. Some brokers of our\nHritish Columbia growers are importing fruit in uur season from\nWashington in direct competition\nwith British Columbiu grown fruit.\nThey have reasons for this. It shows\nthat much consideration is needed\nin arranging for marketing among\nHtitish Columbia organizations to\ncorrect this chaos, and make marketing less of a gamble botb to\ndealer and Bbipper,\nThere's No Fun Washing\nDishes\n\"What's tlm matter, Dilsie?\" a lady\nasked when her colored maid declared\nthat she would stay uo longer, \"Don't\nwo treat you right!

CJ\noffice: columhia AVENUE AND lake street.\nKltlDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 1922\nAn attempt is apparently being made to in\nject a sectional element into the railway agreement bylaw, on which a vote is to be taken\nnext Tuesday, and to make it appear that it\nis merely a fight between two different portions of the city. This is wrong. The principal item involved in the question is purely\none of dollars and cents. If you believe that\nthe \"running of a couple of passenger trains\ndaily through the heart of the city is sullieient\ncompensation for exempting thc railway companies from taxation and granting them concessions not enjoyed by the ordinary taxpayer,\nyou will probably vote for the agreement; if\nyou believe that all tax- and rate-payers,\nwhether great or small, should be treated\nalike in que matter of supporting the municipality, the chances are that you will vote\nagainst it.\nLocal opinion is by no means unanimous\nthat the city is benefited to any extent whatever by the business district being cut in two\nwith railway tracks. It has not added to the\nbeauty of the city. It has not increased the\nconvenience of the public, if we except half a\ndozen people living in the immediate vicinity\nof the downtown depot. But it has increased\nthe danger to life and added to the inconvenience of the public. A number of bad accidents have already occurred between the\ndepot and the river, and a steady increase in\nthese may be looked for as the city increases\nin population.\nA favorite contention of those who favor\nthe agreement is, that the running of trains\nthrough the city affords the traveling public\na better view of the city. This is a specious\nargument. A person being backed into the\ntown over a slough route, and taken out of it\nthe ssme way, has seen very little of Grand\nForks, and is not liable to g) away with a\nvery exalted opinion of the city. On the other\nhand, if lie alights at a little more pretentious\nstation, is taken by auto stage through one of\nour best residential streets, and past practically all of our handsome pablic buildings, to\nthe hotel district, he will have seen enough of\nthe town to form a correct idea of it. After\nall, it is the attractiveness of the residential\nsection of a city that is the final factor in making the homeseeker decide whether to locate\nin it or not. That is Grand Forks' best drawing card at present.\namount\u00E2\u0080\u0094a mere trifle. I might also state that only\nthe special business interests wers represented at this\nspecial meeting, and I together with several others\nwere especially informed at the door of tbe council\nchamber that the meeting was private.\nIt is thiB misrepresentation of facts which often\ncauses tbe property owners of a municipality to vote\nagainst their own best interests. It was done in 1912,\nand indications point to the fact that it will be tried\nagain.\nDid any person ever hear of tbe C.P.R. or any other\nwell managed business corporation spending thousands\nof dollars of their hard-earned profits without receiving\nin return a value of a like amount?\nDo the majority of property owners and ratepayers\nof Grand Forks think our water and light rates and our\ntaxes are high enough? Does it help to lower them by\ngiving the C.P.R. all the water it uses at 150 per month\nfor200,000 gallons daily, or about 6,000,000 gallons\nper month? This figures out at about 1200 gallons for\neacb cent invested in water. At tbis rate, and allowing\na property owner 500 gallons per day for domestic pern\nposes, it should only cost us 12J cents per month. And\nbow much do we pay for lights, as compared to what\nthis agreement promises to supply it to the C.P.R.? We\npay 13 cents, while they pay 2J cents, or a little over\nfive times as much. Is it consistent or fair that the\nproperty owners who are satisfied with the depot which\nserved us until 1912 should be asked to donate in the\nform of higher taxes and higher water and light rites\nfor the benefit of those \"special business interests\" who\nalone benefit by tho maintenance of the two depots?\nHow much needed improvements could be accomplished yearly with the money paid for a dual passenger service? How many noxious weeds could be cut\nfrom where our sidewalk\" used to be? How much more\nbeautiful could our streets and boulevards be made to\ntbe eyes of an intending homeseeker, and, with what's\nleft, how many hungry children could be helped\nthrough the winter when employment is scarce.\nLet us for a brief space look into the incentive to continue this agreement as compared to 1912-13 aod 1914.\nThere were from three to five freight crews working out\nof here daily then, where now there is not fhree to five\na week, Those men and their families were living here\nthen, but have gone. The roundhouse crew and the car\nrepairing gang numbered quite a contingent. I think\nthere are one or two here now. The C.P.R. bas acted\nin good faith, and only through force of circumstances,\nsuch as a great slump in mining activity in our immediate locality, a universal depression in the business\nworld, etc., were they obliged to transfer many of their\nworkers to more remunerative fields.\nConditions have indeed changed materiafly since this\nagreement was first voted on in 1912, and will no longer, to my way of thinking, permit the average property\nowner the luxury and additional expense of a depot in\neach end of the town.\nIn conclusion, 1 claim your indulgence to state that\na ratification of this agreement, now expired, leads up\nto a \"possible\" joint railway and traffic bridge on Third\nstreet. Do the hardworking property owners of this\ncity stop to realize what their portion of cost would be?\nGet busy and do a little figuring on 50 per cent of the\ncost of a new steel bridge, with concrete piers, which\nwould cost in the neighborhood of $120,000, and then\ntry to conform those figures with the revenue aud borrowing power of any municipality the size of Grand\nFork\". And above all things, when you go to cast yodr\nballot on tbe 5th inst., do not bs persuaded that the\nC.P.R. will \"pull up stakes\" here if you do uot vote\nright(r)\nMy earnest request is tbat after reading this you will\ndo a little thinking on your own account: that yo u\nwill seek the true facts, ooncerning which so mucn misrepresentation has been made, and on Tuesday next\ncast your ballot in your own best interests and in the\ninterests of your fellow property owner.\nCharles Bickerton.\nE.C.

C.\nCANADA'S SEASIDE AND MOUNTAIN\nLINKS PLEASE GOLFERS\nRailway News\nTHE history of golf in Canada is\na long story. The first game\nplayed on this continent took place\nm this country and the development\nof the game here has gone forward\nwith rapid strides. To-day the Dominion is dotted with links noted\nfor their excellence from St. An-\ndrews-by-the Sea in New Brunswick,\nto Vancouver in British Columbia.\nGuests are welcome everywhere and\nUnited States experts like \"Chick\"\nEvans and Oswald Kirby are unanimous in declaring that the quality of\nCanadian golf is very high. Canada's first club was the Royal Montreal founded in 1873 about .fifteen\nyears before St. Andrews Golf Club,\nthe first in the United States, was\nstarted in Yonkers, N.Y.\nl's St. Andrews-by-the-Sea\nis a seaside course uji Passama-\nquoddy Bay, an estuary of the Bay\nof Fundy so near Mafne that a long\ndriver could almost put one over the\ninternational fence. St. Andrews is\nnot a name to be taken lightly, and\nwhen Sir William Van Home and\nLord Shaughnessy had the 6,100 yard\nNew Brunswick links laid out, they\nmade it worthy of its great Scotch\nnamesake, the mother links of the\ngolf world. Many of the holes are\non sloping ground with the picturesque panorama of the bay in one\ndirection, and the green forests in\nanother. In addition to the regular\n18-holes, there is a 9-holes course\nfor ladies and the AlgonasJn is headquarters for golfers. ****\nThe Canadian government owns\nand manages at Banff, Alberta, one\noi lin; must interesting anil pit*\nturesque links in the world. Banff\nGolf Course, this year expanded to\n18 holes, is nearly a mile above sea-\nlevel along the banks of the Bow\nRiver. From the edge of the fairways majestic mountains tower a\nmile above the links and the golfer\nenjoys his favorite sport in a scenic\nsetting of unforgettable beauty. Now\nand then the \"gallery\" watching the\ngame Is augmented by wild mountain goats who peer down from some\nlofty ledge at the players. The links\nare in charge of a competent professional and are a fine test of the\ngame.\nFarther west Vancouver and Victoria enjoy golf both summer aod\nwinter on links which are a delight\nto both expert and novice.\nPersistent, consistent and\niusistent advertising by .lie\nbusiness man Iwings steady\nreturns.\nAdvertising and better business go hand in hand. Why\nnot advertise more and help\nyour busiuess and your city?\nEach citizen that boosts for\nhis home industries i.s only\ncontributing to his own prosperity.\nVancouver. \u00E2\u0080\u0094 With every hotel\nalong the Canadian Pacific Railway\ntaxed to capacity, and with the\ncoastwise steamship offices reporting a greater volume of travel than\never before in their history, Western\nCanada is enjoying a tourist traffic\nthis year that has never been\nequalled in past seasons.\nDuring the past few days it has\nbeen necessary for the majority of\nthe hotel motor buses to make four\nand five trips to the hotels from the\nsteamers in order to accommodate\nthe incoming passengers, and the\ntrains both from the east and from\nlocal points have been similarly\nwell filled with visitors.\n\"Tourist traffic over C.P.R. western lines is far greater than it was\nin 1921,\" said General Passenger\nAgent H. W. Brodie on his return\nfrom an inspection trip which carried him as far as Banff. \"Travel\nIs now at its full height and many\nAmericans are seeing Canada. Trains\nboth east and westbound are well\nfilled, and Western Canada is enjoying a great summer season.\"\nAll the mountain resorts along\nthe main line of the C.P.R. are\nbeing well patronized, and the Arrow\nLakes and Okanagan scenic points\nare also thc Mecca for hundreds of\ntourists from the American side.\nBoats bound for Alaskan ports\nare being well filled every trip,\nferry steamers between\nIsland and Seattle and\nto capacity\nwhile the\nVancouver\nVancouver are loaded\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2very trip\nThe opening of the Banff-Lake\nLouise road through the mountains\nhas done much to bring a large volume of auto tourist traffic to Canada this year, state C. P. R. officials,\nand when the Banff-Windermere\nhighway is opened this fall it is expected that there will be another\nlarge volume of tourist traffic diverted through British Columbia.\n\"Many cars are coming from\nSpokane and Seattle up through\nLethbridge into Banff and Lake\nLouise,\" says Col. Clarence Lougheed\nof Calgary, \"and whon the highway right through the mountains\nis completed both Alberta and British Columbia will get a large volume\nof auto traffic annually. Hundreds\nof cars have come through Alberta\nthis year, and they would continue\non and return to the United States\nby way of Vancouver if the roads\nwere open.' Alberta autoists are also\nanxiously awaiting the completion of\ntha roads through and it will undoubtedly mean a big thing every\nyear to British Columbia.\" i\nCircumstances do not make a man;\nthey display him.\nWhen a man loses\nanything else he\nadvertises for it,\nbut when he loses\nhis head he stops\nadvertising\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nDon't Lose\nYour Head\nJ THE SUN, GRAND FORKS, 1.

He received an ugly cut on the head, which\ndazed him for a few moments, but he took the accident\ngood naturedly, and ihe ottending physician,after a hasty\nexamination, issued a bulletin in which he expressed the\nopinion that the man would live. But Smith was put in a\nstate of innocuous desuetude during the remainder of the\ngame. Of course there were good individual plays, but\nthey occurred at distant intervals and from unexpected\nsources, and the sun was obscured by a cloud of dust at\nthe moment they were made.
