Sept. 25. 1929 We are Iad to know that the Bella Coola people are succeeding in securingjroads . They had already succeeded Well in regard to this, for it is possible to drive into the interior by motorcar for many miles. All we mention! the matter for is to show that Prince Rupert can drive only five and a half miles beyond the city limits over roads constructed by the British Columbia government and that so far there is no signjof a movement to carry the work beyond that point. Any place but Prince Rupert can secure roads, it seems. Greatness consists largely of being able to recognize opportunity and cash in on the adventure. SCHOOL TEXT BOOKS When Hon.
