Some people claim the government ha gone too far in protection of the workers, but Mr. Pattallo has always been ready to defend his action and will do it again. PEOPLE FREE AGENTS In regard to the other suggestion made by our correspondent. the people here are free agents. They can vote as they wish They have done so in the past and they will do it again. No effort, Ja ever made to force anyone to do anything. They have the same right to vote as they like as we have to say what we like. At the same time there may be a wise course arfd an unwise course. We suggest that it is wise just now to have the same parjy in power here that is in power at Ottawa so that negotiations may be carried, ness and accused Bvad. at rartova ana half a mile sad two or threw mOas apart.

First the trails . . . then the rough oxcart ruts . , . the wagon roads . . . the automobile highways. The scattered population of British Columbia has made the construction of roads between centres a matter of vital importance, yet one of almost insurmountable difficulties. Mountain sides have to be blasted away . . . clefts, and chasms tresselled . . . rivers bridged! With the opening of the Cariboo Highway through Fraaer Canyon in 1926, the last link of British Columbia's great arterial highway ... a highway unexcelled the world over as an engineering frat and one of unmatched scenic beauty . . . was forged. Eastern Rritlsh Columbia greeted its western brothers! Markets and railways were brought closer to the farmer, the miner, the industrial 1st. New fields for agricultural and trade development were opened Up. For the ten years just past, an aggressive highway programme has been carried out. Thousands of miles of flood roads and doiens of sturdy bridges have been built. Our roods system now totals 31,900 miles . . . an Increase of over 5,04 miles during the last ten years. Of this mileage, 12,000 miles are arth roads; 4,000 gravel roads; and 1,000 bear up no longer uadwr the weubt of; Mr grief aad. percetvlac aer son with his eroa -examination. low bowed head la the Sock sobbed out , The atster.

The 5,000 miles which were added to our roads systam include: 884 miles of main trunk roads, 602 miles of lateral roads, 281 miles of industrial and mining roads, 1,133 miles of settlement and farm roads, and 2,000 miles of ordinary and mlnkig trails. During the years just before 1917, a large number of bridges had been constructed in the Province, nearly all of which were temporary timber structures. Since 1917, the problem of maintenance and renewal of these structures has been a serious one, involving a large ex penditure, particularly between the years 1920 and 1927. The policy has been to improve design of and workmanship on temporary bridges and to renew all the large bridges on main highways over the principal rivers with concrete and steel. Today, the valuation of our 63 miles of bridges is nine million dollars. This construction activity has distributed wages and salaries over our whole Province and has been a material aid In bringing about the current period of British Columbia's prosperity.
