DECEMBER 17, 1927 Price Five Cent I- a Terrace Byard of Trade Goes in .Favor of New Province at Its General Meeting This Week Request for Appointment of Committee to Investigate Before Taking i Action is Voted Down TERRACE, December 17. At the regular monthly meeting of the Roard of Trade it. was decided to endorse. the action of the council 4t the hinrd, wWtVhaJ previously decJafeM in-'fnroT of theFPrmi? lion of a new province for the north including the Peace River and this district. An amendment to appoint a committee to investigate oefore taking action was lost. President Gordon said that in dealing with the question the main thing was to decide whether it was in the best interest of the north, and if it was, the thing to do was to get in and work with hat end In view. It could not be ac-s ompllsbed without a stupendous ef- "ort but the country waa gradually be- ng settled up and with oo-opcritlon and etermlnatlon the plan would eventu-Uy develop Into a reality. For some Une there had been a growing dlseon-snt In the north that the cities of the south were working for the good of the south to the disadvantage of the north. In reply to a remark that the cost running a province - would be pro-UblUve for th: small population of the torth. Mr. Gordon claimed there was wonderful opportunity to show what ould be done In handling the affairs of province in a, sound business-like way vlthout the numerous extravagances ractlced today In the legislatures. Oeorge Little thought the fact of a horter route and much better grade or a railway outlet for the Peaee River h rough the north would - be a won- Jerful advantage to a new province and e that appealed very strongly to ?eace River residents. 'He did not feel .hat the financing would be difficult as he north had Inexhaustible resources rem which to draw revenue. E. T.

Railway has complicated the Peace River situation for many yeara and wUl continue to do so until such time as it la real-ssd that this railway with 1M projected wteaslcns can never serve the growing needs of the Peace River district, nor .arm a mians for the cheap transpor tation of commodities from the coast. IIEMUT VANCOVtF.K Vancouver has energetically endeavored to secure railway connections with the Peaee River section, with tbe Idea that such railway wsule) add largely to bar already grtat position; but-great as such wUh derived .wauid be. It. would only rre a traction of what would redound to that city's advantage by a railway from the Peace to Stewart and water connections with Vancouver. Victoria, and r.ther coast cities. Potentially productive territory between the Peace River and Vancouver is limited and any railway between these two points would hare to depend mainly . n through hauls for Its business. Tbe territory between Stewart and Alberts, embraces the greatest known area of potential wealth on the North American continent; gold, silver and the base metals In tbe Portland Canal district, agricultural and timber land In the Naas valley: anthracite coal In the rcundhog and Peace River districts; gold and silver lodes and gild placers In tbe Ca&slar, Omlntea and Ingenica sec-tUms, all these sources of wealth would be traversed or rendered accessible by a railway between Stewart and the Peace, and In the exploitation of which the coast cities would participate by the augme-itatlcn of tbe csast traffic, in the new markets opened up, as well as lu the wealth derived from the opening up cf the coal, lode and placet areas. T.ie development of the placer fields alone would produce many millions of odlars. the placer miners of the earl) days having worked only the shallow and more accessible diggings. Tbe Auriferous territory extends for hundreds of miles and who knows but what another Klondike may be discovered. INCKKAM; IVKALTH The. growth of the coast cities Is bound up In the development of productive areas by land and sea. and every dormant source of wealth rendered ac cessible to their merchants and capitalists wUl accelerate their rise to wealth and greatness and In furthering the building of a railway from Stewart to the Peace they are Injuring for them' selves a source of revenue greater by far than any other railway could give tbem.
