ONLY
FORTY
MILES
OF
ROAD
The
Vancouver
Province
has
come
out
as
the
champion
of
the
town
of
Powell
River
which
bany
needs
roads,
for
it
hs
only
about
forty
miles
just
now
over
which
residents
can
drive
after
they
have
cruised
around
the
streets
of
the
town.
We
suggest
to
the
Province
that
it
might
also
take
up
the
cause
of
Prince
Rupert,
a
larger
town
than
Powell
River,
which
has
only
five
and
a
half
miles
of
road
outside
the
city
limits
over
which
residents
can
drive.
This
is
the
Christmas
season
and
the
good
will
of
the
leading
paper
of
Canada's
greatest
western
city
might
well
be
extended
to
this
northern
section
of
the
province
from
which
the
city
of
Vancouver
derives
much
profit.
We
are
glad
to
see
Powell
River
claims
championed,
if
only
so
that
Prince
Rupert's
claims
to
a
highway
might
be
brought
into
relief.
The
whole
argument
in
favor
of
relief
for
Powell
River
applies
much
more
forcibly
to
PrincejRupert,
so
we
quote
herewith
the
article:

RIVER'S
CLAIM
,
..
Seventy
,
milosr
.north
of
Vancouver,
on
the
iGulf
of
Georgia,
is
the
thriving
paper
town
of
Powell
River,
one
of
the
industrial
bright
spots
on
the
map
of
British
Columbia.
Powell
River
has
about
five
thousand
people,
all
of
them
well
to
do,
and
it
has;
consequently,
a
very
high
purchasing
power.
But
it
has
one
grievance.
Except
for
its
water
connection
with
Vnnrnuvpr
it
i
fnf
nff
mainder
of
Britlstf
Columbia.
There
are
several
hundred!
autcunobJles,
in
ihe
tow'n,
and
they
can
cruise
about
the
iuTn.wettfsrun,iHteen
miles
or
so
northward.
to.iLund,
run
eighteen
miles
or
so
southward
to
Lang
Bay
and
Stillwater,
run
a
few
miles
inland
to
Cranberry
Lalk
But
when
they
have
covered
all
these
roads
nml
lVrlnPsn'r
take
very
long
they
have
exhausted
the
cruising
possibilities
of
the
district.
Across
the
gulf
from
Powell
River,
on
Vancouver
Island,
and
only
twenty
miles
away
is
the
prosperous
rural
community
of
the
Comox
Valley
and
the
town
of
Courte-nay,
which
is
that
community's
centre.
Courtenay
is
connected
with
the
fine
road
system
of
Vancouver
Island,
and
through
ferries
at
Nanaimo,
Victoria
and
Sidney
with
the
far-reaching
road
systems
of
the
United
States
and
Canada.
But
Courtenay
has
a
grievance,
too.
The
most
prom-isingmarket
that
offers
for
its
agricultural
produce
for
its
milk
and
butter
and
cheese,
its
vegetables
and
meats,
its
pouhand
eggs
in
the
thriving
industrial
town
just
across
the
gulf.
At
present
the
gulf
divides
and
does
not
connect.
There
is
no
adequate
boat
service
between
the
two
places.
What
is
needed,
of
course,
to
remedy
the
situation,
is
a
regular
ferry,
running
twice
a
day
or
oftener
between
Courtenay
and
Powell
River.
The
ferry
would
prove
a
boon
to
both
Powell
River
which
could
get
its
supplies
regularly
and
cheaply
and
always
in
a
fresh
condition,
and
the
Comox
farmers
who
would
have
a
ready
market
always
open.
Besides,
if
the
ferry
were
equipped
to
carry
automobiles,
it
would
very
soon
develop
an
important
tourist
traffic,
and,
in
the
summer
months,
would
very
likely
have
to
make
at
least
four
trips
a
day.
The
mainland
terminus
of
the
ferry
could
be
at
the
Powell
River
wharf.
Courtenay,
however,
is
on
Comox
Hay,
and
the
entrance
to
this
body
of
water
is
often
difficult
owing
to
current
and
shallows.
It-might
be
better
to
make
the
Islam!
terminus
at
Little
RiVer,
only
seventeen
miles
from
Powell
River
and
eight
miles
from
Courtenay
by
a
good
road
already
built.
The
ferry,
of
course,
would
come
under
the
provincial
government
and
would
require
a
subsidy.
But
that
is
not
an
argument
against
it.
The
provincial
government
is
interested
in
developing
the
country
and
in
finding
a
market
for
agricultural
produce.
There
is
a
market

A

by
some
correspondent
other
than
the
recognteed

correspondents
of
the
city,
appears
in
the
columns
of
the
Vancouver
Province
dealing
with
the
local
federal
political
situation.
While

largely
on

here,
it
may
have
in
it
a
modicum
of
truth,
although
no
one
here
seems
to
have
any
information
on
the
subject.
The
despatch
follows:
PRINCE
RUPERT,
Dec.
14.
Presence
of
T.
D.
Pattullo,
House
leader
of
the
Liberal
party
at
Victoria,
in
Ottawa
this
week,
has
given
rise
to
the
rumor
that
the
British
Columbia
Liberal
has
ex
pressed
willingness
to
trade
his
Job
j
on
the
coast
tor
a
seat
in
the
re-1
organized
King
cabinet
at
Ottawa,
j
Changes
are
beine
made
by
Pre-
1
mier
King
following
the
promotion
of
Hon.
C.
A.
Duhning
to
the
office
of
minister
of
finance.
New
names
of
Liberals
in
Eastern
Canada
are
being
advanced
for
cabinet
honors.
mier
King
that
he
can
be
elected
as
a
straight
Liberal
in
British
Columbia.
They
state
that
if
elevated
to
the
cabinet,
Skeena
riding.
Mr.
Hanson
doesn't
desire
thei
position
of
Canadian
National
i
Rayway
dheptor.
For
one
reason
11
would
.dinar
him
from
continuing,
t6
self
'
the
railway
a
vast
atefounf
or,
t
as.
teleeranh
nolps
and
bridge'
timbers.
He
would
like
10
sit
m
ihe
House
of
Commons
but
believes
that
he
would
only
neglect
his
own
extensive
timber
business
to
mix
up
in
railway
affairs.
Mr.
Hanson,
like
many
a
suc
cessful
politician
in
the
North-!
western
united
States,
is
of
Scandinavian
stock.
Throughout
the
logging
camps,
mining
camps
and
fishing
settlements
of
Skeena
there
are
hundreds
of
families
of
Nordic
blood.
To
them
Ollie
Han
sen
is
a
personal
friend
andi
neighbor.
Though
one
of
the
mot
popu-lar
men
in
the
cabinet.
Hon.
Dr.
King
has
been
unfortunate
ln
noti
having
behind
him
the
noiitirai
strength
which
commands
attention
at
Ottawa.
His
continued
failure
to
bring
a
strong
delegation
of
members
from
British
Columbia
has
forced
upon
Premier
King
the
need
of
some
sort
of
change
which
may
make
for
success
at
the
forthcoming
Dominion
election
in
British
Columbia.
If
Mr.
Pattullo
should
be
taken
into
the
cabinet
it
would
be
partly
because
of
his
experience
in
administrative
work
at
Victoria.
b't
chiefly
for
the
reason
that
he
has
a
record
for
successful
political
organization.
If
Mr.
Pattullo
should
quit
Victoria,
one
reason
might
be
that
he
dees
not
at
present
enjoy
the
full
authority
ot
leadership.
He
has
been
repeatedly
reminded
by
certain
groups
in
the
Liberal
party
that
being
"Houiie
leader"
is
not
to
hold
party
lines.
It
rather
means
that
the
driver's
seat
is
only
a
temporary
place
likely
to
be
given
Mr.
Pattullo
only
so
long
as
the
road
Is
rough.
When
the
way
becomes
roor
smooth
and
success
prorlncially
Is
in
Mght,
there
might
be
such
a
thine
as
forcing
th
"Hou
leader
to
make
way
for
a
younger
man.
Lone
Time

Party
observers
in
both
camps
agree
that
provincialrv
the
Liberal
will
make
little
progress
against
the
Tohnie
government
at
the
next
election.
Success
might
be
their
lot
four
years
.after
the
next
election.
That
would
mean
nearly
eight
years
ot
waiting,
a
long
time
for
a
leader
as
energetic
and
ambitious
as
T.
D.
Pattullo.
