It is many years since fch.0 construct ion of this railroad was first placed before the public as an adjunct In'the development policy of the late Sir Richard McBride, It has passed through much travail, and is today the subject of bitter criticism and hostile attack. The fact that it lias actually commenced to grow towards Vancouver from this end, lion ever, will take much of the stinj; away from the controversy as far as the people of the northern end are concerned. The years which have, passed by, leaving only the grade behind them, which has stretched through the country like a blazed trail for the future to develop into a highway, are at last bearing fruit.

WORK FOR ALL
NEW YORK, October 18�The Giiint� won the world's series today when they defecated the Yankees by a wore of 1 to O. The Giants won their first game of the series on a Friday, and won their championship on the 18th, so that McGraw should be able to rid himself of any superstitions.
As a team the Giants have boon' trol in the first inning, and an error going strong since last Friday when by Peckinpaugh, the Yankee star
Fred Toney rang in the first victory, losing but one game in the remaining six. In this game, with N'ehf in the box, they secured ten hits off Hoyt. but lost out with a score of 2 tc 3.
In today's game the Yankees wsro unable to break McGraw's winning streak. Hoyt, the 2 2-year wonder of the Yankee pitching staff was sent in by Huggins for his third game in the series, and went down to his Hrst defeat, while Nehf. who made his third start for the Giants, scored his first victory. Nehf pitched un-hittable ball, and held the Yankees helpless. Hoyt showed lack of con-
shortstop, let in the Giant's winning run.
The Yankees were out of luck in that they had to finish the series without the assistance of Babe Ruth, and their pitchers also had a bad slump after the first two games. They were also forced to get along without McNally at the third sack, who was injured in Wednesday's game when sliding into second.
The Giants made six hits to the Yankees' four, and the error by Peckinpaugh was the only error of the game. Schang was receiving for the Yankees and Snyder for the Giants.

PRINCE RUPERT. Oct. 4�Bishop Bunoz. addressing the Rotary club today, said he had no hesitation in saying that there was work for all. There was no need to have recourse to race suicide, to make room for others, or to adopt new doctrines of radicals, or reduced hours of work-ingmen. This, he said, would encourage loafing, and would be no good for anyone. The conduct of the idle rich hod been a scandal, he said, and was an indication of the result of idleness. If God's law, "Increase and multiply" be followed, there would be plenty of work for all. There was an unlimited amount of labor to be done by an unlimited number of men, in real science and investigation, said his lordship.

Local Athletic Association Gets Behind the Rink Plan
CROWDED MEETING LAST NIGHT IN PRINCE GEORGE HOTEL ENDORSES CITIZEN'S PLAN TO BUILD COVERED SKATING RINK IN THE CITY�OFFERS USE OF ITS REGISTERED COMPANY AND ORGANIZATION TO SECURE THIS BOON.
At a special meeting of the Prince- George Athletic Association, hold last night in the Prince George Hotel, for the purpose of considering' the attitude of the association in the matter of the covered rink campaign, started by The Citizen, President Wimbles called upon John B. Daniell to address the meeting.
Stating that the necessity for a covered ring, of standard size, was so obvious that this point might be

teresting the Athletic Association, as it was to this association that the public looked for initiative in these matters. A big publicity campaign was necessary, he said, and this would be carried on until the matter had been thoroughly tested.
Secretary Marshall Sales read from the articles of association of the Athletic Associatian's form of corporate organization. These articles contained provisions for the building of a rink.
In general discussion it was decided that as the association had sufficient treasury stock to issue a flotation which would cover the cost of the rink, that this would be the best plan to adopt, as the organiza-
tion had been so successful in its undertakings up to the present, and the cost of a separate incorporation, would be saved.
The meeting was marked by much enthusiasm. The idea of a rink, it was freely admitted, appealed directly to everybody here. The necessity of having a place of recreation for the children was urgent, and the promise of fast hockey was also very bright. The rink would serve to bring people down town in the winter afternoons and evenings and would be a good thing for business.
The question of a site was diB-cussed. and the reply of the government to a request of this nature on a former occasion was read. This reply stated that lots required could be included in the proposed auction sale here. Six lots are necessary, and the secretary was instructed to write to H. G. Perry, the member, and ask him to make application in, behalf of the association for a lease on these lots. The matter of urgency was pointed out as it would bo necessary to grade these lots before the freeze-up. The matter was put through on motion of Mr. McLean, seconded by Mr. Garvey.
The proceedings of the executive of the association, last might, are to be submitted to a general meeting of (Continued on Page 4)
