A similar suggestion was made to Mr. Mtullo when he Was minister of lands and passed on by lim to a meeting of the road committee in Prince Rupert. Some objection was' taken to the proposal in those days and the objections still hold good. It is that if an expedient is offered the building of the main road may be delayed. Still it seems reasonable to suggest that while the road is being built it would be a good thing ko have a better arrangement with the railway company than at present exists. Forty dollars seems an unreasonable amount to have to pay for transporting a car. We are not suggesting that the raL'way company is overcharging or getting more than is its due, but that it is more than the average car owner is able to pay. Forty dollars is enough to pay for the gas and oil for the car between here and Vancouver and also the meals for the chaffeur if he is not an extravagant person. - THE ROAD AND NOTHING BUT THE ROAD One Prince Rupert citizen in urging the carrying on of the campaign suggests that our motto be "the road and nothing but the road." Also we are inclined to think We should urge as forcefully as possible that the road go by the north bank of the Skeena River, because. to ferrv across would about double the driving time between Prince Rupert and Terrace. However, we are not going to quarrel over that. What we need is a highway by the best and most expeditious route to Terrace and it is for engineers to decide which way it shall go. THE MINISTER'S STATEMENT , We were particularly glad to hear from the Provincial Government in regard to this matter and to know that they have the highway in mind. We were also pleased to see that the acting minister of public works seems to be familiar with the situation and that his views in regard to it are given such prominence in a Vancouver newspaper. The flaw is that the only definite statement in regard to building is that "the bridge across Galloway Rapids is required in any case and it is planned to construct it as soon as possib'e." That is certainly something, but it is something we thought we should have received this year. Terrace people also complain of unreasonable delay in connecting up their town with Hazelton and say ajt.tne present rate of construction it will take ten years tqcomplete the work. r We are glad to know the minister recognizes the value of-this highway from a tourist point of view and Prince Rupert -lfepple will, we are sure, be glad to co-operate in any way,ihnthe forwarding of the work.

The old trail will not be followed but. an , entirely new route will be taken. Last year a part of the road was re-graded and widened between the suspension bridge and Toric mine. By extending the road north each year, the Kltsault glacier will ultimately be reached. Mining companies operating in the upper KlUault country will then enjoy first-class transportation facilities. A number of small scale operations are being started up this season In the district around Smithers and work will be done on various prospects. It is reported that work may be done this summer on the Coronado group, neat Duthie mine, by optionees. Consolidated Mining & Smelting Co. has moved the equipment from the Harvey group, near Smithers, to the Lucky Jim, near Usk, where the company intends to carry on work all summer. Joseph S.
