For confirmation of this, one need only to study the regional reports of the B.C. Chamber of Commerce submitted during the convention at Vancouver last week. It is natural that each spokesman should wish to give a promising picture of his territory, but they had the material to support their words. The prov- ince is riding high, and in no place is it higher than in the north. Prince ‘Rupert’s delegate, Arthur Nickerson, president of the Associated Boards of Trade of Cen- tral B.C., reported that the Alean development, to be As I See It hy ft News Pt il vallt Premier's Slight Error IN HIS Golden speech | Premier Bennett hon- 'ored me with personal reference.

Elsewhere through the province the word is just as good, or almost as good. Vancouver Island suffered badly from the lumber strike and later the fire closure but is now finding new wealth from its pulp and paper industry. The South Okanagan has staged a good comeback in soft fruits since the dam- aging frost of two years ago. The Fraser Valley is | gaining in population and industry. Speaking for the province as a whole, retiring president Dr. C. H. Wright of Trail referred to pro- | duction losses in lumber, coal, fish and farm output, but added that retail sales for the year are substan- lially higher. One alarming note which emerged from the meeting and which should spur definite action was voiced by the highway committee chairman, T. J. Trapp, who observed that the proportion of current government revenue going toward highways has | been steadily decreasing. Such a trend is entirely out of line with the development of B.C. and threat- ens to have a particularly adverse effect on this part of the province. The government at Victoria would he well advised to remedy this immediately, For Prince Rupert the meeting was an occasion for special pride in that two of its citizens were Elected to high posts in the organization. They were J. 'T. Harvey, who becomes a vice-president, and Mr. Nickerson who was made a director.

He says that by sup- plying a place where mortgage buyers and sellers can get to- gether, transactions now are ac- eomplished within a couple of days that formerly took two to six weeks. The exchange opened Oct. 10. To get $2,000, 2 man may contract for a second mortgage of from $2,500 to $4,000, de- periding on degree of risk, plus interest on the higher amount. Why will a man pay this much? He may be trying to buy a home which calls for a $6,000 down-payment, when he has only $4,000 cash. The $2,000 from the second mortgage gives him the extra he needs, and appareritly he considers the high cost as part of the cost of his home.
