As a resident of Bella Coola, and one who has always take a live interest in every- thing connected with the welfare lof the valley, [I would like to}| ldraw the attention of my fellow| residents to What is without a very poor outlook for th ming season | ee | DR. GILROY, DENTIST Crown and Bridge Work a Times are bad. The govern- ment forced to curtail ex- penses in regard to public works, 1s “particularly in the north.” This is the reason given, and we, the poor brainless people who pay the salaries of the men who are supposed to represent us, are nol even supposed to ask any questions What has the government been doing with the vast reven- ues of the province for the past few Have they been veloping the country? Let consider the northern part of the province de- us years rovernment half a Last year’ the spent, roughly speaking, million dollars This year that amount is reduced by half. Now with this greatly reduced amount let what these men, who would have us believe that they have a corner on the supply of intelligenee, will do to develop the country and encourage set- tlement. They will tell you that they are going to build roads and Where are these roads us see bridges and bridges? We have one in this valley, which has cost over two hundred thousand dollars, and not half completed. It was the declared intention of the government to connect it) with the Cariboo road, but at the present rate of progress, we of this generation will never wit- ness its completion The government says it is not their policy to undertake fay temporary work, ‘Their standard is work that will withstand the wear and tear of many years, We of Bella Coola know how true this is. Look around you as you travel over our road, You have lots of time for so doing. It would be cruelty to horses to drive faster than a walk, Ts this the best work these brainy goy- ernment men can do? Is- this their high standard? I think it must be the beautiful scenery that dazzles the person who passes such work and calls. it good See three roads side by side. Each of them cost good money Three attempts to make a road straight This is one of the reasons taken so long does today. Don't.blame your local repre- sentative altogether. He is simp. the road has reach wheré it whys to ly a cog on one of the small wheels of the government’s po- litical machine, A machine which is fast battering itself to pieces. The sooner it is smash- ed the better From all over the province comes the same complaint, that money appropriated for public works is being squandered to curry favor with men who use politics simply to make an easy living. If members of the govern- ment would only use their brains they would perhaps realize that they must have efficient men t« carry out their publie works. and not just give employment to cripples and inen who are inca- pable of undertaking the work for which they are well paid. “By their works shall ye know them.’ Personally, I would hate to be held responsible for the government's work in this part of northern British Columbia. Wake up all you people who, like me, are responsible for the} It has been said that the peo- | ple of Bella Coola are always kicking That part of it is all vight. Kick harder still; The members of the government have betrayed the trust vou honored them with. The government have dazzled us all with talk of the huge sums derived from the sale of our nat. ural resources, and we like fools have allowed them spend it with wanton recklessness and extravagance to little or no last- ing benefit to the provinee, and today we are reaping the .bene- fit, particularly in the north. Imagine the ‘government of this province having the nerve to tell the people that they cannot afford the paltry sums that they have been spending on_ public works for the past few years, but to must necessarily cut them down to half.

We visit a foreign land; and from the moment we step across its border we are asking questions— searching for facts. We are asked to try a new food product; isn’t it instinétive | with us to ask at once: “Who makes this new article >"’ “* How is it made > what goes into it >” ‘Is it worth the price charged for it ?”” Facts—we are simply hungry for them. Strange, isn’t it, that we should so often have to search for Odd, that some manufacturers still withhold the facts about their product.
