Premier Brownlee, who left for Ottawa today, will interview both the C.P.R. and the Canadian National heads with a view to selling the Edmonton Dunvegan and B.C. Railways, which will eventually, it is thought, be part of the system which will have a new western outlet for the Peace River country. Should either of these companies' buy the Alberta Railway it is the one likely to build to the coast or to connect with the C.N.R. main line to Prince Rupert. Alberta docs not want the short' line: across the British Columbia boundary railway any more than British Colum-. and a western outlet 1 sure but whether it will be by the Portland route or to Prince Rupert will depend largely on which company gets It. Most people here are betting on the CN.Il. and Prince Rupert as Dominion aid Is sure to be required. ku.i.kii on hicvcm:. KEREMEOS, Oct. 28. E. W.

TIXEUKAM TO OTTAWA In view of the fact that a delegation ot canners had gone to Ottawa and that John Dybhavn had gone to Join them from Prince Rupert, it was decided to send a telegram to the minister of marine at Ottawa, enclosing the following resolution: "Whereas active teps are taken by cannots and others Interested to secure changes In the existing fisheries resolutions under tbe guise of fish conservation, be It resolved by this meeting of fishermen held In Prince Rupert this 27th day of October that the Hon. Minister of Marine and Fisheries be respectfully urged to make no changes In the present regulations that will materially affect the taking of fish by net, troll or seine In District 2 without due no tice so that an opportunity may be given for approval or dissent by those Who make their living by fishing." Another resolution passed was that no license be asked of men engaged In fishing for dog fish.

"Forty years ago the farmers blamed everybody but themselves for their con dition," said Mr. Wood but today he realized that he was responsible for his own inefficiency in marketing. The farmers today wanted efficiency In their own class and also In all othera so that all might function together. In opening his address Mr. Wood said the origin of the Pool was the failure of the former efforts of the farmers to sill their product satisfactorily. They were now trying to change the system for they realized that they had been creatures of circumstance. They did proposal was to bring back the monopoly which had' been broken. He spoke of the sending of the delegation to Of tawa and said 'he thought the fishermen should haVe sent one from- here. They should have appointed a delegate ot their own. While he agreed with the idea of sending the telegram, he regretted not want to Injure anyone but werel'nat tney were not sending a delegate. determined to carry on their business in their own way. 4H.II SYSTEM WRONG "What was wrong about the old system." inquired the speaker.
