Adverse

PERSIST

REPORTS
being
given
out
to
motorists
wishing
to
drive
through
to
the
coast
at
Prince
Rupert,
adverse
statements
in
regard
to
the
condition
of
the
highway
having
actually
discouraged
automobile
tourists
from
coming
this
way.
Not
only
have
false
statements
been
made
in
the
south
about
the
condition
of
the
road
but
word
has
now
reached
here
of
motorists
being
told
even
in
the
central
interior
itself
that
the
road
to
Prince
Rupert
is
unfit
for
traffic
and
nigh
impassable,
something
which
all
motorists
who
have
been
over
the
road,
of
course,
know
for
themselves
is
entirely
untrue.
It
appears
that
the
time
has
now
come
when
local
organizations
should
take
the
matter
up
with
various
agencies
such
as
Automobile
Association,
tourist
bureau,,
etc.,
who
give
out
the
road
publicity,
to
counteract
these
adverse
reports.
At
last
year's
convention
of
the
Associated
Boards
of
Trade
of
Central
British
Columbia,
a
resolution
was
passed
seeking
to
set
up
a
system
of
regularly
publishing
road
condition
reports
for
the
benefit
of
motor
tourists.
Little
seems,
however,
to
have
been
actually
done
in
accomplishing
this
end.
Boards
of
Trade
of
Upper
Vancouver
Island
have
been
complaining
at
the
adverse
publicity
their
roads
have,
been
getting,
even
to
the
point
of
discouraging
motorists
from
coming.
It
appears
that
Prince
Rupert
and
Central
British
Columbia
is
well
justified
in
a
similar
complaint.

REVIVAL
IN
MINING
THERE
IS
EVERY
indication
that
the
mining
I
industry
is
once
again
coming
into
its
own
as
one
of
the
principal
economic
mainstays
of
these
northern
districts.
Prospecting
and
mining
development
having
been
almost
washed
out
during
the
war
owing
to
manpower
shortage
and
lack
of
priority,
the
people
of
this
part
of
the
world
have
come
to
lose
almost
all
mining
consciousness.
However,
a
visit
to
such
camps
as
Alice
Arm
and
Stewart
impresses
one
with
the
renewed
interest
and
activity.
Prince
Rupert
stands
to
benefit
''greatly
from
this
development
and,
when
great
new
ca'mns
come
into
beinp
arain.
such
as
Stewnrt.
Anyox
and
Alice
Arm
once
were,
business
people
of
this
city,
if
they
are
aggressive
enough
to
go
after
it,
should
share
in
the
trade
therewith.
TALKING
OF
FAKIRS
ARE
RECALLED
not
unlike
that
told
STORIES
by
the
Ketchikan
man,
Gerald
Anger,
whose
fanciful
yarn
about
having
sailed
here
from
the
South
Seas
fooled
the
coast.
Particularly
during
the
war,
many
were
the
hoaxes
which
erept
into
print.
Some
bore
a
-resemblance
to
the
fabrication
invented
by
Anger
who,
before
showing
up
at
Prince
Rupert,
hoodwinked
California
yachting
men
into
thinking
he
was
entering
his
"big.
yacht,"
the
Lee,
in
the
Los
Angeles-Hawaii
race.
Speaking
of
other
imposters,
there
appeared
in
British
Columbia
during
the
war
a
stranger
who
posed
as
a
French
naval
officer.
In
due
time,
he
was
caught
by
a
shore
patrol.
He
was
wearing
a
steamship
steward's
uniform,
which
sported
a
number
of
fleur-de-lis.
Another
fakir
practised
deception,
nd
was
active
in
Victory
Loan
drives.
He
managed
to
marry
a
Canadian
girl
and
not
long
after,
it
was
discovered
he
was
a
British
Navy
deserter,
with
wife
and
family
in
England.
Still
another
ingenious
four-flusher
let
it
be
known
he'
had
been
torpedoed
nine
times,
the
truth
being
that
he
had
hardly
ever
been
to
sea.
People
were
also
asked
to
credit
the
tale
of
another
stran-'
ger
who
spun
fantastic
yarns
about
his
exploits
on
the
ocean.
One
was
that
he
had,
in
a
submarine,
performed
a
delicate
operation,
using
a
pen-knife
as
a
scalpel.
He
knew
nothing
about
ships
or
gery,
yet
he
tried
to
borrow
money
on
the
strength
of
such
impossible
claims.
