PURPOSE
OF
VISIT
TO
PEACE
RIVER
the
purpose
of
the
visit
of
the
Canadian
Chamber
of
Commerce
was
to
get
first
hand
knowledge
of
the
Peace
River
country,
which
is
claiming
the
attention
of
the
whole
of
Canada,
Great
Britain
and
United
State,
owing
to
fts
great
agricultural
possibilities,
fertility
of
soil,
splendid
crops
and
excellent
climate.
POPULATION
OF
THE
PEACE
RIVER
In
1911
the
total
population'
of
the
Peace
River
country
was
leas
than
2000.
In
1921
less
than
20,000.
while
at
the
end
of
1928
It
was
over
60,000.
Thousands
of
settlers
have
gone
Into
the
Peace
since
'that
time,
and
the
crop
harvested
this
year
was
approximately
fifteen
million
bushels.
PEACE

To
develop
this
magnificent
inland
empire,
by
opening
up
the
Peace

connecting
It
by
the
shorteest

TOO
LONG
DELAYED
t
The
Peace
River
people
for
the
past
few
years
have
mad
the
strongest
possible
appeals
to
the
Dominion
government
and
the
hads
of
the
Canadian
National
Railways
for
this
outlet,
but
so
far
their
efforts
have
not
been
successful.
This
matter
should
be
brought
again
and
more
strongly
to
their
at-tentlon,
as
justified
by.
the
rapid
development
of
the
country,
In
order
to
have
this
outlet
provided
in
the
immediate
future.
GREAT

for
the
Immediate
construction
of
this

in
which
the
Peftcw

and

are
vitally

POWERFUL
AND
SELFISH
INTEREST
OPPOSED
TO
DIRECT
OUTLET
Powerful
interests
are
working
assiduously

this
object
and
are
working
to
have,
the
Peace
River
linked
;unfwUhstlys
South,
pn
the
lace
of

it
becomes
evident
that
the
Interests,
of
.jthe
people
of
the
Peace
River
are
being
made"
SECONDARY
to
the
other
Interests.
The
Peace
Rhrer
people,
do
not
believe
that
their
Interests
can
be
best
served
by
a
Southern
outlet,
and
are
emphatic
In
demanding
"THE
SHORTEST
AND
HpST
ECONOMICAL
ROUTE
TO
THE
PACIFIC."
We
feel
that
it
would
be
an
injustice
to
the
Peace
Illver
farmers
to
take
their
grain
Bouth
and
then
Northward
again
past
Prince
Rupert
to
the
Orient,
"which
Is
thecloset
and
best
market
for
it.
THE
PEACE
RIVER
PEOPLE
FEEL
THAT
THEIR
DIRECT
OUTLET
IS
NOT
TO
THE
SOUTH,
BUT
STRAIGHT
WEST
TO
PRINCE
RUPERT.
They
have,
therefore,
made
an
appeal
to
the
Citizens
of
Prince
Rupert
and
Northern
British
Columbia
to
assist
them
in
the
fight
they
are
making
for
a
direct
link
between
the
Peace
River
and
Prince
Rupert.
They
are
asking
the
closest
co-operation
of
effort,
and'
a
wholehearted
public
opinion
behind
them
In
their
fight.
Toward
that
end
they
ask
that
an
association
be
formed,
embracing
all
residents
of
Northern
British
Columbia
and
the
Peace
:
River
country.
