"Irangely

the
rates
that
ire

on

vvifhin
two

are
2.H

For
Instance,
two

Prince

the
rate
on
a
five-gallon

which
Is

standard'
unit

On

the
rate

If
we
wcrerablo
to
priHluce
dairy
products
and
cream
within
this
area,
our
situation
would
not
bo
nearly
as
bad
as
H
is.
although
even
at
lhal,
It
would
be
bud
enough.
Tio
ratQ,
as
I
have
already
pointed
oui,
from
two
hundred
miles
ouUof
Prince
Rupert
Is
fldo
per
five.al-Iiiii
can.
We
do
nol
enjoy
this
rale
because
nothing

at
that
point
or
within
that
mile-i
age.
We
gel
our
cream
from!
Telkwa
and
points
further
east.!
Telkwn
Is
two
hundred
and
thirty-
five
mites
from
Prince
Rupert.
(
and
we
pay
a
rate
of
ll.ao
per!
five-guHort
ran,
or
considerably
more
lhah
100
more
than
we
would
pay
on
I
lie
mileace
basis
within
.
Ihe
two
hundred
mile
tone.
There
can
b
on
justification.
In
my
opinion,
for
the
difference
in
lliajw
rules,
unless
it
be
nn
ex"preslnn
of
an
arbitrary
altitude
on
the
part
of
Ihe
railways
to
Insist
on
taking
what
the
traffic
will
bear,
irrespective
of
whether
the
truffle

nol.
Natural
Centre
Prince
Rupert
is
the
natural
centre
for
Northern
British
Columbia.
V
not
only
should
he
able
to
secure
cream
for
our
local
requirements,
hiit
we
should
have
established
in
Prince
Rupert
a
dairy
that
would
produce
butler,
not
only
for
Prince
Rupert,
but
ror
uie
whole
of
this
northern;
coast
area.
If
I
could
secure
the
prairie
rale
on
ereum
to
Prince
Rupert,
It
would
mean
a
rate
of
approximately
&:,c
from
Telkwa.
I
am
satisfied
that
I
could
produce
all
the
buller
