He asked me if I knew the reason. I told him of an interview 1 had had last year with the Northern Navigation Company at Sarnia re the prospects for such a venture and that these people had informed me that the chief reason was that Goderich harbor was not the best in the world to get into when a stormy sea was on. Apart from that. they believed the traffic would not be heavy enough to warrant it. I told my friend trait my personal idea was that if some steamship enterprise would make a stab at it, even under present harbor conditions. and run a combination passenger express and medium-size freight vessel into the port of Goderich. it would be profitable, and mighty profitable at that. I did not tell my friend so. but I do intend to take this matter up with the Canadian Pacific Railway in the immediate future. In fact. am arranging a date now to meet the industrial commissioner and when we do meet I hope to obtain some concrete information as to what assistance this corporation is ready to lend to Goderich— rather give to Goderich—towards indui- trta! and commercial promotion, and as to what steps, if any, they are prepared to take towards better rail and water transportation should a couple of big industries decide to locate in Godench bet- t Th C P R ween now neat spnng. e . . has gone a long way in assisting gime "TIP" O'NEILL DOESN'T other towns that I know of : 1 cannot see E'ORGET GODERICIL why they will not assist Goderich.

DEAR SIR. —In the last two issues of The Signal. my attention has been some- what forcibly called to two separate articles of comment. In your issue of July IS there was an article. "An Argu- ment for the Lakesto-Ocran Channel," Lakes -to -Ocean waterwa.y. The Det oit manufacturer is tight that, with regular boat service into (.oderich on the Lakes- to•Ocean route, Goderich cannot help but prosper, as where is there a town on the propt>ed waterway map. the gateway to such a garden as Huron county, that bids so high as does Goderich for industrial growth and general prosperity ? In politics. (ho e who know me know that 1 am a fret thinker. I have gone through some of the most bitter cam• patens as publicity man tor some one silitical aspirant since I entered the newspaper field some fourteen years ago. Have been through several bye-elert ions in the Canadian West that were bitterly contested. 1 do know that. while the present coalition Government in Canada may have been a success towards enlisting men for a war that simply had to be won at any cost, this Government has surely failed in any other angle apart from the military. It looks as thou,th the elements willshortly go to battle in another general election for the Canadian Commons. To the Canadian mind they have a peculiar way of selecting and electing their candi- dates for Government over here; still and all, the electors are mighty particular in the sifting, and so will Canada have to be next time they go from the stretch to the wire. Goderich and the constituency in which it stands should be very careful in the choice of a fearless man. who will when elected take the floor of • he Parlia- ment and argue till black in rhe face. if need be. that the true interests of Gode- rich and district be served.

I do not know exactly, but I imagine that the present rail and water facilities leading to and from Godench could handle much greater, capacity than they do at present. Perhaps I am wrong. I do know of the freight car scarcity, etc. I also know that so far as the lake traffic is concerned today it is principally confined to grain and coal. Every time I think of the Government cash that was thrown into Lake Huron at St. Joseph 1 think of what that extra amount and a little bit more on top The manufacturer continued to slant ght have meant to Goderich at that Tr' queries as to the extenttime.
