IS BARED Optimism for Future Features Report for 1926 Board of Trade Olof Benson, president, in interesting -and valuable document, tells of yearys accomplishments; makes some predictions Reviewing commercial developments of the past year in Prince Rupert and the district and in sent conditions and suggesting steps that may be taken toward oringing many rosy prospects to fruition, the report of the president of the Board of Trade for the year presented to the annual meeting last night by Olof Hanson proved both a valuable and in teresting document Dealing with the various matters that have come before the Board during 192G, Mr. Hanson painted some pretty pictures of future developments, treating the various subjects with sane optimism and due regard to all circumstances. Mr. Hanson's report was as follows: ' It g.ves mi great pleasure to have the privilege to present to you the eight- cnth annual report ot the president of the Board of Trade. T ui rnbti tiOT IS a rmon that the business men ot Prince Rupert could bestow, thst I would rathtr hae bad. than that ot president of this board.

I am proud to have been your presl - dent for 1928 if only tor the fact that, during that year, our grain elevator commenced to operste. with subsequent ! tor any signs of missing persons and inauguration ot deep-sea shipping and ' patrolmen stationed at Carmanah, world-wide commerce. ; Pachena and Cape Beale are making HEMOXLU UY NATl'KE thorough searches along beachea anj Prince Rupert was designed by nature I on the land near the place where the to be a Canadian outlet for commerce ; disaster took place H.M.C.S. Armen-to the Orient. Australia and Europe, j tlerres Is also aiding In the search. The operating of the elevator haa given us an opportunity to take advantage of our natural facilities and I venture to say that, tn a tew ers, the dreams ot the most optimistic ot our dt liens will hsve been out-reaiUed. Everything points In our fsror. The Pacific Ocean tn the next decade will be the world's principal "Pool of Commerce." Just as the Atlantic has been la the past.

It Is only my good fortune to be In this posi tion at the time success has crowned their efforts. During 1928 Canada haa enjoyed one of Its most prosperous trade years in the records ot history. IU exports have , Increased considerably, thereby bring-1 Ing outside motey Into the Dominion j a more potent factor In our prosperity than merely exchanging our commcdl-j ties tor the cash from aome other section i of the country. Export trade1 gives our currency stabUity. and. during 1928. it ! did so much so that, for aeveral long' periods during the peat year, the Can ! adlan dollar has been at a premium In .the United States. Our factories have been kept operating to a greater capacity than ever before during normal times. Immigration has Increased aome alxty-rtre per vta over 1925 and, In addition, a large. number of Canadlana who left our land with the Intention ot remaining permanently tu the United States', have returned to remain permanently In Canada.
