Another pair of shoes' which tracked the Mexican desert In search of the footprints of Almee McPherson wss exhibited by the owner yesterday in the municipal court at the evangelist's conspiracy hearing when a defence witness Constable Ash was called to prove that fifteen miles of desert hiking would not materially damage the defendant's shoes after she fled from alios ed klduappers. Constable Ash testified that he wore the same shoes exhibited during lour trips to South Aquaproeta when he discovered the woman's footprlnta at four places ranging approximately three miles and half to fifteen miles from Douglas. Answering a hypothetical question. Ash said it would have been jHwslble for the evangelist to cross the dese- t as related wi'hout water. Circulation 1540 Bales 472 such an expenditure as millions of dol-1 bus, then Prince Rupert should at least 1 insist on a road around the Island. i The day would come. Aid. Casey declared, when such a road would .be built and lie' felt It was folly for 'the people of Prince Rupert to sit Idly by j and see the revenue collected In the northern port of the province spent In all other parts except the north. It was said that the automobile tax paid building. These taxes collected In Prince Rupert would then help to pay for the road around the Island. tJIVE CITY CHANCE A road to the Interior wad preferable at this time to a road around the Island. Aid. Casey said, but. If the former sceemd out of reason, the latter should at least be built. It would not be an extremely expensive undertaking and would give the city same chance to obtain tourist traffic as well as opening up the land for truck gardening and ' such like. This road, however. would not have to be Insisted on If the rood to the Interior were obtained. He felt that the city council. Board of Trad and all organizations Interested In the development of Prince Rupert should get together and demand the government to embark upon, some such road undertaking with a determination to are It completed. z Aid. Jos. Qreer felt that Aid. Casey's point was well taken. An energetic ef fort should be made by the people of Prince Rupert to get a road. If they did not bestir themselves vigorously, the city would be lelt behind in the government's road building program. Aid. Qreer stated that he hsd talked to people from the Interior, Including the president of the Prince Qeorgo Automobile Association, and all were keen to "have a road through to Prince Rupert. There was nothing physically Impossible and he thought that the people of Prince Rupert and district had given the provincial government enough revenue to- warrant serious consideration being given tbem in the matter of road building. He thought that assistance might be given In the demand by the people of Interior points. A road to Prince Rupert, the Pacific Coast gateway to Alaska, would be a great attraction to tourists, Aid. Oreer felt- He seconded Aid. Casey's motion. Aid. Perry took the view that a road around the Island should not be asked for but that the road to the Interior around the Island , should be Insisted upon. SECONDARY CONSIDERATION' Mayor Newton lelt that the road around the Island should only be a eecondary consideration to the road to the interior. If the people were to be asked to meet on this, question he felt they should also take up the .matter of an outlet to the Peace River district. The Interior people, he believed, were as much interested In one project as the other and both might thus be handled at one time. The railway outlet for the Peace River would sooner or later have to be given, the mayor as- Boston Grill Lurge Upstair Dining Hall, with newly laid danclriK floor for hire.
