E. PHI PI'S Who addressed the delegates of the Canadian Bankers' Association at Toronto on the occasion of his election to the presidency of the Association. I Saturday, Nov. 21, 1028 MOKE INTEREST IN KRAI, ESTATE More interest is being taken in real estate this fall than for some time past. While most of the sales made have been what are looked upon as bargains, there has been a demand for that class of property recently, according to local reports. This fall has been a great improvement in that respect over last. Prince Rupert realises that ln jever. the development of the agricultural possibilities of the district, in the encouragement of the ever-expanding tourist traffic which is continually looking for new and further fields, in the growth and welfare of the city and district generally, this road is going to play an important part. What Road Will Do The road Svill (bring tourists from the farthest points of Canada and the United .States, and I will directly stimulate manufacturing, agriculture and all other basic industries. A humble beginning has been made as far as the Galloway Rapids, over which a bridge is rail ired to take the road off Kaien Island, upon which Prince Rupert is situated, to. the mainland beyond. The government has shown its ifood faith by this jsaar clearing tfa atiles of right-tf-way, wtieti taken the road to Phelan Station in the Skeena Slough and past the cannery point of Port Edward. No doubt next year the building of the bridge and the road along .this right-of-way will be com pleted. Prince Rupert expects that much more than tiiis will be carried out in a single season. I '"The road has been finally lo-J cated and staked during the past season to the settlement of Hays-port on the main Skeena River, 15 miles from the Galloway Rapids, i WJien that section is completed it will open up several mall settlements as well as a dozen canneries, having a larfce population in the summer at least. This is something that Prince Rupert has lone felt itself entitled to, and, which it now is' certain will not much longer be denied. The road to llaysport would pass through the cannery points of Port lid-ward, Inverness, Sunnyside, Cas-siar and North Pacific. The canneries of Dominion and Oceanic and the Icelandic settlement of Osland on Smith Island are across a small dough. On the south aide of the Skeena River is located the village of Port Essington ami such canneries as Balmoral, Claxton etc., which are connected by ferry. Route Suggested Opinion has particularly settled upon the advisability of the Prince Rupert-Terrace highway follow There is a feelinir in some aiurten that this f. ,W. th I " M w j sxeena aiver, mc - . paranenus k. ginning of a general move.

Terrace, Smithers, Hazelton and other enterprising towns have all been pressing the government foran qutjet to the coast by motor. Finally, about three years" agp, the government realized that they must do justice to this northern section of the province and delay no longer. They com mences construction, ine nrsi year the work .proceeded painfully slow; the second year was a decided improvement on the first year's work, and during the last year they accomplished more than they had in the other two years. The road has been completed five miles out of the city, and a further five miles has been slashed ready for construction. The completion of tills highway is now an assured fact. Both po litical parties realized the urgent necessity of coiinectMgth nil coast seaport with ' VQ Jitf land. In fact during the iast" litical campaign the Conserva tives ridiculed the former gov ernment for th cHlatory tNflcjr W pursued, ;md members of the present government promised that a soon as they would get into power, "speed" would be their watchword as far as this highway was con cerned. Time Is Question So Prince Rupert is not worrying today whether or not It shall get one'hundred-mile road to Tsr-race. Wht the northern people are now concerned with is how long is it going to take to finish it. If the rate of speed which has prevailed for the past few years is roing to continue, the present gen eration will not get much benefit out of it. The people expect that a real effort will be made by those in power today to fulfil their projiiMes so that tile road ill be cvmnletsd in a few vaarm neaport of Hie coast growing in importance, Industry steadily . In- ifriBg iauto eevsiopin tad nopUNrtftm steadily , gaining. Prince Rupert today finds itself the only city of any size and importance in British Columbia, Canada perhaps, without any road connection with Its ;rtdit of the provincial public works engineer. No doubt the cost was enormous, but the results obtained, I am mine, justi fied this expenditure. I would venture to say that over the Cari boo road similar conditions hadi to be overcome. What might have been consid ered years ago insurmountable harriers have been overcome in these two other projects. On the i'rince Rupert-Terrace highway, rivers such as Kyen, Exchamaika, Exstew, ZynwKoits, KitsumakslumJ will have to be crossed, bridges will be required and fairly long ones in some instances. On the other hand, at many points the work would be of a light natwp4 Kougniy it is the post lieajf route for this highway, described.) The most outstanding alt tive route would go inland where from tale mouth of Skeena Slough to Warke Cam and skirt that long body of water,! t hence over a mountain pass to the Exstew River and down to Afca) Alternative Route MI SieetM again. This is a route of which no official reconnaissance have ever been completed. Those who have been ove'f it have stated mat It woura pass through at beautiful country well adapted for agricultural, hew have 'cone right through it entirely, how- Another alternative route is by following the south bank of the Skeena River, which, rouffaly speaking, offers no better physical characteristics than the route ja the north bank. Use ofJaWeh- route wouM involve ferryinnVf bridging of the river, both. M west and east ends of the road to Terr act). Prince Rupert rests the strength of its road case on the fact that no port of its importance should b longer denied a highway con nection with its hinterland, which would be to the mutual benefit oC the city and district, on the pos sibilities for development and business such a road would offer and upon the wonderful scenic country that would be opened up to local citasens fcnd tourists from all over, the continent. I'rhkce Rupert for these reasons aad others knows that its ease tea logical and just one.
