Oil tanks, however, are being installed all along the route and it is expected that by June the Whole system will be oil-burning.

E. P. Campbell, the grocer of Prince and, South, has secured the Hotel Northern's big red autocar and will hereafter be as well known as a traction magnate as in the^ grocery trade. \, ' The car runs from the Rex Theatre every half hour from 8 a.m. till the^ theatres close at night, return tickets costing -$3 for 24.

Rome, April 2.-.Eight months of hostilities in Europe have brought economic distress to non-cornbatarits to a degree hardly realized by outside observers.

Politicians Are Busy But Date Still Uncertain No Constituency to Go By Default— Four Full Slates in Vancouver— Local Candidates Working Cap; All the political parties are apparently expecting a "call to arms" within the next tvyo months, judging by the little time they are losing in getting out their candidates and fixing up their political fences, as it were. Sir Richard. McBride is still in/the east and no definite anhouriceTpiefit as to the date of. ther provincial contest may be looked, for until he returns. In the meantime numerous rumors move from lip to, lip, most of them more or less vague and contradictory; One widely circulated is to the effect that Sir Richard has been ousted from the--XLonservative leadership in the province7~and_ that the party will be led at the forthcoming election by Attorney-General W. J.~Rowse.i^ who is acting minister of. finance arul^igrj^ culture in the cabinet pending the ap^" pointment of a successor to lion. Price Ellison. It is likely that this ^portfolio will be split into two, particularly as the agricultural credits bill has been pased. In such an event the premier, would, of cfburse, go to the federal cabinet. In Vancouver, which is the centre of the political storm, the Conservatives, Liberals, Laborites and Socialists have each nominated a full ticket for. the six seats, and it is stated that at least a partial ticket of independent Conservatives' will take the field'to further bewilder the electors. Fully three quarters of the constituencies are now assured of contests, and many of three-cornered ones. Indications are that within the next few days~th('"rbalaiic(! of the party nominations will haVe been made i\m\ there arc no signs' of any constituency gqirig by default. ' > Locally all three candidates are already on the hustings and all report, warm welcomes by the electors; No independent candidate has- as yet come out, but as the campaign is still yourig there is no telling what developments may ensue. THREE TRAWLERS SUNK A considerable sum was., raised by the'Prince George branch of the Red Cross Society on Thursday, when th? fine'.new drug store of G. A. James, George Street, was thrown open Lo the Red Cross ladies for the sale of ice cream, cake and tea. Although the-weather Was not all that was desired and the day rainy, the new store was crowded to capacity practically all the afternoon. Not only ladies whose sole desire was to help the Red Cross, but men and women who were charmed with the elegance of the new establishment flocked in and out. ii.ach cusr tomer was presented with a carnation —a very much appreciated Easter gift.

Yesterday was "Good!" Friday to the pupils in more ways than one, for it was the first day of a ten-,day holiday period, whidh will end next Saturday. The school principal, Miss W. L. Hammond, informs The Post that parents who have pupils about td'start school, should endeavor to have them begin immediately after the Easter holidays, or a week from Monday.

The clause to vextend voting hours one hour in the morning and one in the evening caused a great deal of discussion, but was finally rejected. The voting hours will remain from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The proposal that employees must be given an extra hour at noon in which to vote without loss of pay was approved and extended so that it applied to employees of all railways in Canada, except those whose absence from their duties would interfere with the running of trains.

INCREASED STEAMSHIP SERVICE IN INTERIOR Boats to Run This Year on Fraser and Northern Lakes Indications are that the lakes and rivers in the "northernxand central interior of British Columbia will, within a few years, be as important arteries of traffic as the famous Koote-hay and Okanagan system; in^ fact, even more so, as the area to be served is much greater and, it is believed here, richer. Among the incidents worthy of note in the development of this system is the fact that the B. C. Express company will this year-run it's stea'mer, the B. X., Captain Browne in charge, between South fort George, Quesnel and Soda Creek, a wire announcing same having.been received from Man- ager William West this week. Harry Bloom, who will run the steamer Omineca, up and "down the Stuart Lake-Tacla Lake route, to serve the Omineca mining country, also announced that he, will-likely operate the Viper, a smaller boat, on the v.upper Fraser. He may also make a few trips .there with the Omineca between the" time the Fraser is havi-, gable and the northern "route opens— about June 1, It is also believed that the Northern Lumber and Mercantile company, owners of the steamer Quesnel, will have it in operation this year. QUEEN CHARLOTTES , PROMISE OIL BOOM Promitiing Indications on Graham Island Cause Staking Excitement. Seventy square miles of oil lands on the Twest coast of Grraham Island, were staked' during the past week, says a rec'ent""V-ancouver< despatch, according to information received here in a letter from ^Arthur Robertson, one of the. best known of the pioneers on the. island.

[ '¦' ¦ Rupert, have now gone to. the island to stake oil land again, their excitement being caused by the reports "rom the-west coast that an oil strike n the B. C. well is imminent on account of the'heavy gas pressure in the hole. Several other ^companies which have held land on the west coast for the past year, are showing signs of activity and getting ready to start operations with the announcement that the" pioneer well has been >rought in. May Have Gusher It is conceded by oil men that the work of the pioneer well has proven the field and they expect not only will this tap an oil-flow, but a gusher. Every boat which has landed on Graham Island the last few weeks has taken oil men bound for the west'-coast and after seeing the indications, such as petroleum seepages, oil tar in the rocks and nature-refined paraffin,; and an examination of- the log of the B. Ccompany's well, they are most optimistic that within a short time British Columbia will have her »• own oil field proven beyond question and one which will rank with Tampico- ¦ Mexico, with which field there is a great similarity. , ' 'f' ,". Among the recent arrivals from,the north is Mrv..J. K. Anderson, a merchant of Tow Hill, Graham Island. He- has" spent several years there, and is familiar with all sections of the, wonderful islands. Of the oilfields, he erpresses the same confidence as do all the men living oh the island— , that it is only a matter of time when Graham Island will be supplying a j. portion of the petroleum of t|rje world.
