A GRAND OLD PAPER; SPLENDID Bi A eet etek Last week the Perth Courier pass- éd its eighty-second pirthdag, and this may well be considered old age in newspaper annals. The Courier was established in 1834, and has seen the historic old town grow step by step during these years, and now in 1916 Perth passes its hundredth anniversary. When the Courier was first issued eighty-two years ago the Perth settlement was only eighteen years old, Perth was little more than a collection of frame and rough stone buildings, but several striking exceptions to these primeval erec- tions were to be seen. . As time ad- vanced conditions improved; roads were made better, clearings grew larger, and more numerous, and from time to time there arose the lines of those stone stores on Perth's main streets which are now the de- light of those visitors who love the antiques, and which are slowly being replaced by modern' architectural structures, With all these changes and improvements the Courier bas had its part, both in the joys and the sorrows, and today it has an except- ionally large humbér of readers. STILL ANOTHER RISE In the Price of Meals at the Chinese Restaurants. When speaking to thé" Whig one of the loeal Chinese restaurant pro- prietors stated that another rise in the price of. meals is contemplated. Already a meeting of the Celestial owners has been held, and the matter of raising the prices was thoroughly discussed. It is only a few weeks since a rise of five cents was made on all meals, but the prices of these necessary commodities have risen so much that the owners of the restaurants feel they cannot continue to give meals at the present rates. Asked when the new prices would come into effect, the Chinaman stat- ed that the date had not been decid- ed, but it was likely to come into force shortly.
