In other words, the north and central portion of this province is being bled to cater to tlie needs and ambitions of the - - larger centres to the south. This wheels of progress obliterate their is the condition existing today ' Now, the remedy We need a governing body of our own. A new province should be the goal the Jportb setoff should strive -for.

Have this portion added to it and we would have our province started. Also appeal to settlements in the Yukon for a like i movement. We have the mineral wealth, the j timber and pulp, the products of the tea, the canning industry, and other undeveloped resources for the Investment of capital. We have unequalled scenic beauty awaiting roads to attract the tour-1st. With the revenue derived from these natural resource., which is now going to the up-keep of the south, we should not be timid about organizing. I Let us organise anyway. Call a convention, and get going toward prosperity. Have this convention further appeal to the Dominion government to cttepoae of Use neglected portion of the C. N. R. that runs from Jasper to Prince Hubert to a corporation that would make me of this road running through northern British Columbia to. the upbuilding and settle ment of this portion of the province. Have the government allow other transportation companies enter this virgin and neglected field, rather than retard in case of affecting southern ambition That we take immediate steps to offset the proposed transfer of the Peace river block to the province, so m to enable the legisla ture to use said lands to bonus the P.G.E. Into the Peace river country. Let us stand to hare an agreement that this land, if to be used for bonusing purpose. b used to assist in having an outlet coMiructed through northern B.
