To tap the entire Peace River country nni the wonderful min- iriK region north of Kinlay Forka, I take it that any railroad must eventually have to come via the Peace River through to Finlay Forks.

Mere, there are no long "off seasons" to cut down a man's working time. Our temperate climate keeps a man fit . . . enables him to produce more . . . earn more. The producers' average weekly wage In British Columbia Is $28.39 . . . 49 higher than the rent of Canada. In 1926 seventeen industries increased weekly wages by $12,951 Actually In ten years our annual payroll has grown from 78 million dollars to 175 million dollars . . . the greatest advance by far of any Province during that period. This, of course, does not include agricultural workers, professionals, clerks nnd oihers. British . Columbia's gross . payroll is 1,A tut a eMiniuicu ai munon uouarsi Construction, that outward evidence of the faith wc have in our province, has playrd a large part In the wage situation. In ten years British Columbia's construction activity has gone up ten times. In 1916 it Involved only $2,800,000 ... for 10 months in 1927 It amounted to $27,277,000!
