AN INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER
Tnis newspaper is not connect ed in any manner with any
stock brokerage firm or other establishment associated in or
interested in the sale of mining shares and publishes no in
lormation relative to local mining development that is not be
lieved to be in full accord with fact.
Trite—But Good Advice
“Do your Christmas shopping
early” has been repeated so
often that it has become like a
• litany, so familiar that its
true meaning is lost to the con
sciousness. Yet it is an admoni
tion, that if heeded, will great
ly benefit a large number of
persons and reduce the strain
of the Yuletide season while
increasing its satisfaction and
joys.
Virtually all of the local
shops have placed their Christ
mas offerings on sale. The
stocks are fresh, and there is
opportunity for wide selection.
The mails are not yet clogged
by the holiday deluge. There
is no necessity for the shopper
to. delay selecting purchases
and crowd his entire purchas
ing into a day or two.
The shopper who puts it off
until the last few days before
Christmas will find the situa
tion reversed. Stocks in the
stores will be picked over and
limited, parcels mailed late
will arrive at their destination
at some indefinite time after
the holiday season, and the
shopper himself will spend
Christmas recuperating from
the feverish exertions of the
day before.
Verily, “Do your Christmas
shopping now” is advice that
should be taken seriously and
followed.
Impressive Messenger
Some folks have the idea
that the small-town newspapei
is of little or no value to the
town it is published in. They
lose sight of the fact that the
influence of a newspaper, ev
en the small weekly", extends
beyond the town and district
in which it is published. II
usually goes to quite distant
places. The Herald, for in
stance goes to such distant
places as England and to most
of the States every week. And
there are always some boost
ers in a town who likes to send
a paper to distant friends or
prospective settlers, even when
the regular circulation doe?
not extend beyond the district
| in which it is published.
The better the paper and the
: more completely it represents
the town in both a news and
advertising sense, the more
j boosters there will be to bring
I it to the attention of others.
The newspaper that is bright
with interesting reading mat
ter and healthy looking from
an advertising standpoint is an
! impressive messenger as well
; as a splendid advertisement for
i any town, as it almost invar
iably depicts what kind of a
own it represents.

: Highway Means Big
Revenue For B. C.
Statistics revealed at the re
| cent annual meeting of the
Vancouver Publicity Bureau,
disclosed the fact that with an
nvestment of three million dol
! lars last year Canada obtained
ourist business worth 279 mil
ion.
With an expenditure of $54,
)00 Vancouver obtained 24
nillion dollars of tourist mon
ey. In 1920, 14,000 automo
biles entered Vancouver from
he States; in 1930 the total
vas 126,000. The U. S. con
.ains 25 million automobiles
Vveraging 5 people each, this
s a potential touiist source ol
125 million people.
Build the 90 miles of high
vay fiom Stewart to Kitwan
ra and make motoring from
he States to Alaska possible
rnd all of these 125 millior
people would want to motor tc
Alaska. On the long run thru
B. C. they would spend ap
proximately $20 each, or a to
tal of 1 •/> billions of dollars, or
100 million dollars a year for
25 years. Looks like it is busi
ness worth going after.—Stew
