' i "V SEES VALUE ' OF RECENT L0CALM0VE Interior Paper Urges AH Interior Communities to Back Prince Rupert It seem that Prince Rupert has been really aroused over the Peace River outlet and that an organisation, whose special duty is to get the road into that port. has ben perfected and set to work, says the Omineca Herald. College yells, dinners and lots of speeches have been heard and the meals eaten, and there will b more of them as time goes on. That Is the surface work. Underneath there Is other work being carried on. All the Interior towns, villages and communities should be solidly behind Prince Rupert. Some of the interior organizations have already passed resolutions to that effect. The others should do so at once. This who'e Interior country Is bound to benefit by the Peace River traffic coming this way rather than via the south. It might help a lot if Prince Rupert sent a delegate to the various organizations in the interior and help organize these districts along the same lines that have been adopted In Rupert.
