DAILY EDITION. THURSDAY, MAY 30 WEATHER WEST AND EAST. While we in Prince Rupert, the city which has been bur- dened by a rain libel in spite of all that its citizens know to the contrary, are welcoming every drop of rain we can get in this merry month of May, because a positive water famine is liable to occur if the rain shortage gets any shorter, it is interesting to note what the rain man is doing in the east. Here is an ex- tract from the Toronto Star of May 21st. It reads like a Van- couver visitor’s version of the Rupert rain libel: “The month of May promises to hold the record for the greatest amount of rainfall in many years. The average rainfall for May, based upon the records of past years, is 2.85 inches. So far this month rain to the depth of 4.4 inches has fallen; and since Sunday evening, when the present steady downpour com menced, as much as 2.07 inches of rain has fallen. “Nor can the weather man promise any immediate cessa- tion of the deluge. He reports that rains are general over the Provinces of Ontario and Quebec, and that at least two days more of unsettled weather are in sight. These next two days may be varied by occasional gleams of sunshine, but rain will be the rule, and sunshine the exception. “We hope to see fair weather set in thereafter, but this is merely a hope, as we have nothing definite to go on. Outside the fact that the next two days will probably be unsettled, we ean say nothing. The scientific explanation of the present wetness is that Toronto in ‘a trough between two areas of high pressure which are causing the rainfall.’ Torontonians will agree that the city is in a trough in more than the scientific sense of the word. The scientist and the man on the street see with single eye for once.” is ABOUT VACATIONS. The trouble about vacations is that not one person out of a hundred will wisely use a vacation. Most men and women, freed fror: the usual cares, are inclined to go to extremes in the trafic increased, when a road would be in a position to increase its Capilal expenditure in making renewals and improvements. Even at the present day it is, perhaps, wise in cases in which railways are being built through a country difficull of aecess and where im- mediate traffic would be light and the cost of the transportation of permanent struetural material very heavy, to make comprehen- sive plans in the first instance for present and for future re- quirements, and to less costly and permanent ma- terial in construction; by this ON CANADIAN RAILROADS Collingwood Schreiber, Engineer Well Known in Prince Rupert, Addresses the Canadian Society of Civil Engineers.

Some men seem to think that a protracted spree is the right thing at vacation time, and that really is about all a great many men get out of their vacations. Some men think they cannot rest unless they are politely drunk, and they think it so strongly, and so sincerely, that they live up to the idea, But, of course, there are other and better aid wiser ways for a man to spend his vacation. As a rule, books, even bad books, in some instances, are good companions. Men and women can do a certain amount of reading during their vacations, and if their work is such as not to require a great amount o freading it will be a good thing for them to spend a part of their vacation reading and thus be- coming acquainted with the thoughts of men and women who have been trying to do something for humanity. Or they can fish, or hunt, or climb mountains, or boat, or do any one of a number of things that will be of physical and mental benefit to them in the season of vacations. The main thing is not to overdo anything. The middle of the road philosophy is a good thing to keep in mind during vacations.—Seattle Post-Intelligencer.
