DAILY EDITION AIRFIELDS Tuesday. November !, 1929 British Columbia is lagging somewhat in the matter of airfields. Distances in jthis province are very great and the qpfofcoui4 of the country is such as to make the construction of airfields difficult.; Also a number1 of places such as Prince Rupert are more suited to seaplane travel and airfields are not as necessary. Yet it seems as if even Prince Rupert will have to falj in line soon and prepare a field for the use of airplanes. Several of the interior towns are doing their part, notably Smithers and Prince George. If planes come to those towns they will very soon want to come to Prince Rupert and facilities will have to be prepared unless we are to be outside the line of travel. One of the schemes for the Alaska highway is to have low it without the dangers which at present threaten air plane travel between United States and Alaska by the land route. No doubt making an airfield .hore will be difficult and possibly because of that difficulty the aid of the federal or provincial authorities may betenlisted in the project. However, we must get away from expecting others to do thingB for us and must learn to help ourselves. Hero'sito tne reformer. If he succeeded he'd be out of a job. I OFFERS OF HELP Last evening The DailviNewKadTcall from a local citizen who said he would like t$S!s&niend th$ fiction of the committee having in hand the Pace River project. He said it was the best movement hebad seen so far in Prince Rupert and the campaign seemed to be conducted with vigor. He said that if any money was needed he Would be willing to do his part. That was a splendid gesture. If Prince Rupert people feel of that mind and get behind this movement to benefit the city, there should be a possibility of success. One gesture is not sufficient. It is necessary to follow it up and keep it going. If the committee receives the backing of the citizens and a few words of encouragement now and then, they will doubtless feel like carrying on and devoting some time to the work. A little more charity, a wider viewpoint and tremendous enthusiasm for the cause we think right and success is ours throughout life no matter whether we be rich or poor. CONTRARY TO RULES OF EUCLID "We suggest that a map of British Columbia be drawn and that on it a triangle be sketched having one angle at Finlay Forks, one at Vancouver and one at Prince Rupert. By looking at that triangle no one can then make you believe that grain should be hauled along two sides of it as easily Q6 along one. Prince Rupert is the natural outlet to the Pacifjc. The Orient is rapidly developing as the country to which grain will be sold. To get the grain there it should be hauled to Prince Rupert and not first to Van couver and then back past the Queen Charlotte Islands toward the Orient. Cities have been built by enthusiasm, but nevefby saying "Let George do it."

Rupert deie- rates to the Peace River ana the Canadian Chamber of Commerce ;onventlon reported at some 'ength to the board of trade at Its regular meeting lost night President Gonzales In the chair The report follows: 1 Dear Sirs Trie undersigned members of your delegation to the Chamber ot Commerce conven tton and Peace River "Expedition beg to present to you their vlewx on this important excursion We realize that our observations are somewhat belated in being presented but felt that the four other members of your delegation should be heard first as they are more directly affiliated with your board than what we are and that tn submitting our views now ; we. would be corroborating what they have already reported and our i re-, port may be of some service in your proposed general meeting to rouse your citizens to united action and efforts. First permit us to thank you for your invitation to go as your representatives and to state that it was indeed a pleasure for us to do so as after all our Interests and aims are one and identical and In advancing the claims and interests of Prinee Rupert we feel and know that we are. too, advancing the same interests of Terrace and our surrounding country. We wre somewhat disappointed at the. small delegation from our part of the province as we were outnumbered ten to one by the southern delegates but as time developed we plainly saw that numbers alone counted for little and perhaps a small delegation alter all would be more Inclined to be active and agreeslv- where a larger one would feel disposed to shift the responsibility. One Exception .All thrnnch the Pm country at points at which we topped we found a great deal of interest manifested tn the port of curiosity either: in passing It may be well tonote that there was one point which was not as solicitous as the remainder of the district as Grand Prairie enjoys more direct connection with the rest of Alberta than many of the other parts and here we were forced to feel that they were not sympathetic to Prince Rupert's alms and ambitions; apart from this point, however, our observations may be applied without exception. This growing interest was more intensified as we pushed further north and at Peace River Crossing and Pouce Coupe we would say that they look to Rupert or Stewart as holding the key position to their problems and salvation, in a commercial and agricultural way. Wp will not go Into details as to the potential wealth of the country visited as you have already heard that in detail but we would sav this, that any report ivou Qiayaoiareuheard cannot do lustioe ' ty the possibilities as It would be difficult to exaggerate or overdraw the picture. u would tnen rollow that the port which can secure the business of thu. vast empire lying as it does very much wrapped up In itself, need not fear as to Its future from this territory alone to de velop any port on the Pacific no matter how obtcute at present it may be, and raise it to be the premier port on the Pacific; would it not then seem to be well worth the energy and expense to strain every effort to secure that busi- nee Double- Treatment Rubbed on the thr6at, Vicks relieves in two direct ways: (1) Its vapors, released try the body heat, are in-haled direct to the air pas sages; and (2) At the same time Vicks "draws ottt" the soreness like an old-fashioned poultice WICKS On & Million Jars Uszd YZamt ness for the port that it Is tributary to and to which It naturally belongs? Is It any wonder that Vancouver which sinks the welfare of the province as a whole beneath it feet In its endeavor to divert from its natural channeli the flow of this rich portion of the northern parts of the two western provinces? Key to Situation There- are physical limitations however even .to the ambitious city of Vancouver and there are geographical limitations which the board of trade of that city cannot overcome despite the fact that they outrage all the laws of KUclid when they attempt to draw a circle using a point on the circumference and try to prove It to be the centre of the circle and in this lies the key of Prince Ru pert's contention; speed and the saving or time are two oi the greatest demands of transportation problems oi the day and Prince Rupert is tn the happy position of being able to afford both of these elements fn ah outlet to the Pacific Coast for the Peace River totttitry. You are thererorc aqubiy armed in argument: you have these' geographical difficulties overcome and you have the1 .'Sympathy and support of the people $t the territory which will produce the revenue for any railway serving that country. There can be no doubt then that all that Is necessary would be to net together and demand as with one voice that which is your Just due. In this effort too, you have the support of a large territory lying to the east of you which feels that only too long has this end of ihe railway beert neglected arid that we have been denied the iprosperlty which we have every right to expect with the construction of the railway) that British Columbia is in the unique position of being the only province in Canada which has an undeveloped north that is not making every effort to develop its vast storehouses of wealth we are forced to admit and this state of neglect 1 largely due to the avarice and greed of parts of the province which can well afford to stand aside and allow the map of British Columbia to be rolled back and develop the choicest part df the province. Complement to Warren We would also point out that we believe in the new vice-pr-Mldent of the railway, Mr. Warren. Prince Rupert will find a real friend and a sympathetic ear. He impressed your delegation as being a man who was raised to that Important position bv merit and not bv ac cident: he I tmdoubtedjy alive to me interests oi nis -railway and recognizes that with the develop- ment' of this end of the road the h Peace ' RlvcriCanadlan National Railway will conceived it were no idle dreams. in conclusion we would also like Prinee Rupert and it was not Idle i to P'nt out that we opposed the Edmonton amendment to vour re solution re. the construction of a Pacific Coast outlet as they placed the construction of branch lines as being of the most importance, killing as it did your resolution in committee. It would appear that our judgment in this respect was sound as you will note that Vancouver, Peace River country and Prince Rupert have all concentrated on the outlet Issues and no mention or pressure brought to bear on the branch line suggestions. All of which is respectfully submitted by the Terrace members of vour delegation. J. K. GORDON. Past Pres.. Terrace Board of Trade. GEORGE LITTLE, Past Pres.. Terrace Board of Trade. E.
