INTEREST
IN
PRINCE
RUPERT
The
proposal
of
the
Aivlzoff
interests
in
Vancouver
to
establish
an
ice
and
cold
storage
plant
at
Prince
Rup-I
ert
is
another
indication
of
the
recent
interest
being
taken
in
the
city
by
outside
people.
It
is
not
at
all
improbable
that
within
the
next
year
or
two
there
will
be
a
number
'
of
industries
located
herd
of
which
we
hardly-dream
today.
With
plenty
of
power,
better
modern
facilities
of
all
kinds
and
possibly
a
smeKer,
there
should
be
a
real-development
in
the
city.
There
are
interests
at
work
that
are
makine:
an
impression
on
the
outside
and
the
city,
it
is
hoped,
will
reap
the
benefit.
AIRPLANE
BASE
AT
PRINCE
RUPERT
.
It
seems
as
if
steps
should
be
taken
soon
to
establish
an
airplane
base
at
Prince
Rupert
The
proposal
in
the
large
advertisement
published
herewith
today
indicates
that
peo-;
pie
are'noting
the
fact
of
the
nearness
of
this
port
to
the
Orient.
The
map
published
yesterday
and
again
today
in
;
the
advertisement
shows
exactly
what
is
meant
when
it
is
stated
that
Prince
Rupert
is
nearly
five
hundred
miles
nearer
the
Orient
than
Vancouver.
!
So
far
powerful
commercial
interests
have
been
able
to
camouflage
the
issue
and
retain
all
the
shipping
business
in
the
south,
but
that
will
not
continue
always
.
This
campaign
to
raise
money
for
the
airplane
route
will
bring
the
city
very
much
in
the
public
eye
and
possibly'iS
the
bes.t
advertising
scheme
the
city
has
ever
had
.
The
prizes
offered
in
the
advertisement
are
large
and
should
prove
attractive,
l?ut
we
know
nothing
of
the
scheme
except
that
it

been

by
