The Peace River Block today is of very little value to the province of British Columbia because it is not opened up. In order to open it up, an expensive railway is necessary. Then roads will be needed and schools and other necessities to settlement that have to be paid for from the provincial exchequer. If the governnwnt can secure the opening up of lands by transferring them to a company to iuiiM a railway, they will be settled quicker than otherwise would th,. and they will in time become of some value. They will he changed Iriitii a liability to an asset. The same might anply to any part of the country. There was a time when it was thought that giing lands to u railway was poor policy. It wa- when they were allowed to In- tax-free tor ever, as on Vancouver inland when granted to the K.&V, but if given with a limit- ot live :.-.ation. t hey :.mn become an asset to the country, for the purchasers find settlers. If the C.N.K. oi the CP. it. wiil make a deal now with the provincial go ernnieiit to build a western outlet to connect with the present C.N.K. line it will lie good business for the province. If any undeveloped part of the country can tie oiMMied up in a similar manner, it is for tin- benefit of the people as a whole. It is far better than giving cash. We need railways, we need development, but we do nut need the lands because we (anno! ue .hem. It is only new settlers who Can use them and the railways are the best settlement agencies we have. SEES CANADA BECOMING PROSPEROUS The Babson Institute, that gives advice to businessmen, points to Canada as the place with business opportunities. It sayfe that business in United States is on the decline and improving in Canada. They also say that in this country it will continue to improve. This is an opinion that is not biased and which seems to indicate that thfjre will within the next few years be a steady fl f ieeple from united states into Canada. INTERESTED IN THEATRE Most people in Prince Rupert have been Interested fn the Aivazoff theatre proposal and have been watching the recent development with keen interest. The present theatre does not satisfy them. They want something better. It seems a pity that the site could hot have been large enough to allow ot the very latest thing in theatre construction. However, that is a matter for the builders to worry over. A corner lot on Third Avenue at Second Street might have been obtained from the provincial government that would have suited the purpose but it is probflbjy too late now. PRAYER BOOK AGAIN In England they have a national church and it is giving them a lot of worry. Control of the church is vested in the House of Commons. Th Church chose to revise the book used in their church services but the House of Common refused to sanction it. It went back to the Church Council and is agian adopted. Now, what will the Commons do with it? Price of Daily News Cut to 50 Cents a Month When .
