A letter has been nt by the board to Mr. Oliver and also to the Toronto Star advocating .he advantages of a pass further est than Monkman and setting forth Prince Rupert's advantages as a possible outlet The letter is a follows: There appeared In the Toronto Dally Star of January 19 an article attributed to yourself, on Pacific coast ouUeU from the Peace River district, strongly recommending a reason: ., . ; t. " 1. "Because we do not believe Monkman Pass route, although shortest In new construction, would serve the Peace River district, as a whole, to the best advantage. . 2. "It would not, so far as Brit i Columbia Is concerned, traverse country in any degree comparable that which any of the routes further west traverse, insofar as natural resources are concerned. 3. "Because, even if the line through the Monkman Pass were buUt. the manifest advantage which Prince Rupert would possess over Vancouver as a terminus not mentioned. In fact, no reference throughout the whole article made to Prtnee Rupert as a port through which Peace River grain might move. 44T matter nf tirnrias?. 1W VClIUIVw W iwwvww v. 1 therefore, that when a matter of tills Importance Is given so much space in a publication such as the Toronto Dally Star, on the authority of one so widely known throughout the country as yourself, that public bodies of this city should deem it necessary to pursue the matter further. "All along there has been an at tempt on the part of certain interests to sidetrack Prince Rupert when discussing the Peace River-Pactflc coast ouUet. First, the only feasible route was by way of Obed. Tlien, when the farmers of the Peace would not stand for that roundabout route, a line was to be run to Prince George to connect with the completed P. St O. E., and to Vancouver, regardless of the heavy ruling grades and curvature on the latter line. Finally we have the Monkman Pass route and the connection via Red Pass Junction Hh Vancouver. T at lie consider briefly the Monkman Pass route as described in the Star, tin t date, so far as we can dis cover, there has been no regular railway reconnaissance over vi route, information regarding it having come from hurftlrs, irapprs A rirosnectors. ."The article estimates, the n,ew construction from Beaver Lodge to Hansard to be 150 miles, and puta the distance from Beaver Lodge to Vancouver at 760 miles There s an error here of 41.8 miles, as It is (Continued on page two.)
