ALASKA was represented by only one delegate at the annual convention of the Associated Boards of Trade of Central British Columbia and the Affiliated Chambers of Commerce of Southeastern Alaska. A well-known and popular youn lady Miss Elizabeth Winn, Juneau newspaperwoman came, bearing- a number of resolutions on important matters of mutual concern between Alaska and central British Columbia, particularly the port of Prince Rupert, which she capably piloted through the convention. So there could be no complaint about the quality of the representation which Alaska had at the convention. However, it was something much to be regretted that there should not have been more quantity and broader representation. It is some years now since forward-looking members of the Prince Rupert Chamber of Commerce, realizing the importance of Prince Rupert's strategic position as gateway to Alaska, commenced the goodwill movement in relation to the territory. We remember the response which we received from enthusiastic business men and community leader?, particularly of Ketchikan, our nearest neighbor, who brought lively energy and new ideas to Associated Boards' conventions of recent years. In 1917 we een had the Governor of Alaska here. And, in other years, there were strong delegations at Associated Boards conventions here and elsewhere. But where were they all this year? In view of the new industrial development of southeastern Alaska the pulp mill at Ketchikan, the plywood mill at Juneau, the newly reopened sawmill at Wrangell, the expanding fishing industry, the increasing tourist travel the service that the port of Prince Rupert, the Canadian National Railways and the Skeena River highway have .to offer, to say nothing of the market that could be created in Alaska for central interior agricultural products, would appear to be of more significance Uan ever today in relation to the territory. T It is particularly disappointing, therefore, that vE should have seen so few of our Alaska friends aCthe convention. " There are, of course, powerful influences at work to keep trade and traffic with Alaska within the old channels and away from its natural course through this port. But the new arteries of transportation such as a ferry service between the Haines Highway and Prince Rupert as well as from other southeastern Alaska ports to Prince Rupert will in time help to release the territory from its shackles. t The Alaskan resolutions, most of which would hai'e effect along such lines, were endorsed with enthusiasm by the convention. Now, it w ould be well if we continued to do everything in our power to see that Alaskans them-sejves maintain their interest in this port and district now that prosperity is again coming their way after a season of dull days. For it is as certain today as it ever was that the trade and economy of Prince Rupert and Alaska, particularly southeastern Alaska, must become more and more closely associated. lima r o i of thousands have lived a lifetime within convenient reach of Ottawa and never been across the city limits.
