250
men

do
more
than
just
sit
around
and
hope
we
can
keep
our
men
employed!"
And,
with
It
all,
Mr.
Grey
added:
"we

to
ourselves
but
to
all
Cana

suggested
that

resolution
be
approved
since
it
did

any

route.
Will
Robinson,
of
Terrace,
countered
Mr.
Taylor's
plea
for
separate
rail
and
highway
routes
by
reminding
the
delegates
that
only
a
short
time
before
they
had
approved
a
resolution
asking
for
completion
of
the
Yel-lowhead
Pass
highway
between
Prince
George
and
Jasper.
"One
of
the
arguments
given
when
that
resolution
was
passed
was
that
a
railway
alone
is
not
sufficient
to
develop
a
territory
that
it
also
needs
a
parallel
highway."
Mr.
Robinson
said.
"Now
Mr.
Taylor
asks
that
the
situation
be
reversed."
The
Yellowhead
highway
re
solution
was
presented
by
the
Terrace
Board
of
Trade,
backed
up
by
McBride
and
Prince
George.
It
was
endorsed
unanimously.
The
meeting
also
passed
a

that

the

Mr.

The
