VICTORY
FOR
MACLEAN
The
announcement
made
in
the
.speech
from
the
throne
that
the
railway
lands
includinjr
the
Pence
River
Block
may
be
returned
to
British
Columbia
is
a
decided
victory
for
Premier
MacLean
who
has
been
Dressing
the
government
hard
in
regard
to
the
right
of
the
province
to
receive
the
lands
and
the
need
there
is
for
them.
It
is
a
good
beginning
and
shajvs
the
advantage
of
having
at
Ottawa
and
Victoria
governments
that
are
sympathetic
to
each
other.
In
mentioning
this
it
must
also
be
recorded
that
the
late
Premier
Oliver
began
the
agitation
and.
dug
up
the
evidence
which
howed
the
moral
rights
of
the
province
to
the
lands
and
that
at
a
lime
when
many
people
sneered
at
his
action.
It,i,
be
expected
now
that
parliament
will
be
asked
to
approve
the
transfer.
RAILWAY
DEVELOPMENT
All
eya
are
turned
to
the
Peace
River
and
the
northern
section
of
the
Province
of
British
Columbia.
Those
who
read
the
advertisements
will
jiotice
that
this
paper
is
advertising
an
application
t$x,
a
ehaiter
to
build
a
railway
from
Lethbridge
by
way
o:
Edmonton
and
the
Peace
River
to
join
the
Canadian
National
and
also
with
a
branch
line
to
Stewart.
Other
railway
proposals
are
being
made
at
Ottawa
and
then
there
is
General
Sutton,
the
Canadian
National
and
the
C.P.R.,
all
of
whom
are
interested
in
the
country.
From
some
of
these
there
is
sure
to
be
some
result
and
Prince
Rupert
will
stand
to
benefit.
We
suggest
to
the
people
of
Prince
Rupert
that
we
are
on
the
eve
of
great
development.
Before
long.
we
are
likely
to
see
such
a
movement
here
as
has
surpassed
anything
since
the
days
before
the
war.
Just
now
it
may
be
a
little
quiet
but
all
eyes
are
turned
in
ww
direction
and
we
shall
surely
feel
the
impetus
pretty
