It wis located in the woods at the end -of the newj' transcontinental railway. Roads were not much in demand, except within the city, and these were constructed ; ' and paid tbr by ther city from-the time of incorporation.' The firit demand was for a road around Kaieh Island,' which would be used largely for tourist purposes and for, the pleasure of the residents. Even up to that time there j was no conception of a trunk road connecting Prince Rup-i ert with tile outside world. So strong became the pres-. sure for a road just before the 1916 election that the' Bowser government started work about two miles from the city opposite the entrance to the harbor and a thousand feet was graded. It was intended to have this connected up with the city and continued to the mouth of the Skeena River and, Eventually around Kaien Island, including a road to the top of the mountain. ! The Bowser government went down to defeat and work was at once stopped and so little was the matter pressed by the citizens that it was several years before a survey was made along the other side of the island and work commenced in a modest way, the construction being done by day work under a provincial government foreman, j Graduauy.theJdoa 0! a ; trunk, road system AvAfef grow-' intr and whennhe Onver government laid down5 its road ' FASHION FANCIES 1 1 CLOTH OF GOLD AND SATIN Noted Pari.'utuic designer.

If the whole of northern and central British Columbia were to combine to force the hands of the government tp oither develop tlfb country or give them the right to form' a new province, there would soon be action taken. It is to be hoped that a definite program will be formulated fdh the convention of the Associated Boards of Trade All places in the territory are affected by the present lack of system in carrying on the development of the country. We do not wish to make this a political question. The former Conservative government was lax. The Liberal government ."was lax and now it seems as if this present administration had both beaten a mile in laxity over the road situation. They are exploring but not building. We Rhall be the first to give them credit when we see activity but at Divsent there is none, at any rate, none visible on the surface. j WHAT WOULD BE THE BEST MEANS TO ADVANCE INTERESTS OF NORTHERN AND CENTRAL B.
