FRANK OLIVER AND PEACE RIVER RAILWAY OUTLET Today we are publishing the reply of Hon. Frank Oliver to the Prince Rupert Board of Trade in regard to the outlet of the Peace River in which he boosts for Monkman Pass. Of course, he has a right to his opinion, although he" seems to have been a recent and sudden convert. Naturally, too, we have our own opinion on the subject. In the first place, Mr. Oliver sees this question through the eyes of Alberta. He does not recognize the claim's of British Columbia for development. Alberta already has its Peace River railways. All the new railway he suggests or most of it would be built through Albertan territory and to serve the Province of Alberta. Naturally we are more interested in British Columbia and wish to see this Drovince develoned.

Toward the end of the story affairs become so compli-l cated that it is impossible to see how the hero can possibly set theni richt. He does so. however, and the chance is so sudden and complete that it sweeps the reader off his feet j and makes him marvel at the skill of the story teller. Incidentally Captain Kidd and his descendants enter into the tale and also a curious old Chinese cabinet and a mysterious dead man's hand. Taken all in all, "The Amazing Web" is a story that can be well recommended even to the jaded taste of the inveterate novel reader.

The legislature, quiet all day, suddenly ran head on into serious trouble Just before midnight on' Thursday, when H. D. Twigg, in the chair, threatened to have H. F. Kergln, Liberal, Atlin, removed from the house, says a Victoria de-! spatch to the Vancouver Province. I This sudden exchange' of bitter ! personalities followed a protracted; argument over a remark n.ade false. i "If he refers to meI would say, If it were parliamentary, that he was a d liar!" sajd Dr. W. H. Sutherland, former ;minister of public works. Mr. Twigg said this remark was most Improper and should be withdrawn. At this point Mr: Kergln leaned over and said something to Dr. Sutherland about Mr. Twigg: Threaten Expulsion "If the nember for Atlin Is Impudent to the chair, I shall have to ask him to leave," rapped Mr. Twigg. "I challenge him to put me out," some of the rich territory on this side of the provincial ;e3:clalmed Mr Kergin boundary line ana at tne same time one tnat wouia Dest -please leave the committee," serve the already settled portion of the Peace.

United States and Yukon Dis cussed In House The construction of the Pacific Highway north to Yukon and Alaska was urged by Capt. Oeorge Black, Conservative, Yukon, In the House of Commons at Ottawa last week. He said that parts of the highway In British Columbia and the Yukon were now completed. Some day It would' be possible to motor right from Mexico to Alaska. Mr. Black read newspaper dis patches showing the attitude of the. Government of British Columbia to be favorable td Jplnlng .with the United Slates In Investigating the feasibility of a highway from the United States border to Alaska. Congress was also voting $25,000 towards an investigation and had ap pointed a commission to co-operate with Canada In this regard. Mr, Black hoped the Canadian Govern ment would also be ready to co-op erate, and he stressed the advantages of such a highway. Hon. Charles Stewart, minister of tne interior, declared ne had no quarrel with those who desired a highway built across Canada, but all the speakers seemed to be of the opinion that the Federal Gov ernmrnt was doing nothing In the way of highway construction and nothing to encourage the inflow of tourists. This was erroneous. What Has Been Done Tne Government was . doing a great deal. It had built a highway1 through! the- Banff' Hatlohal'-Park?! and $718,000 harj been spent on this. At the same time $850,000 would be spent on the road through Glacier Park, which comprises the Government's portion of the uncompleted 119 miles of road from Revelstoke to Golden. This would connect the last link front the Prairies to the Coast. Referring to the proposed Pacific Highway, Mr. Stewart said Premier Tolrrui. uf British Columbia, had recently discussed the matter with I the government. So far as the Yu-jlcon Territory was concerned the 'Federal Government was quite prepared to build in its entirety its 'share of the road across the Yukon. He was unable, he said, to speak 'of financial contributions towards I the construction of the remainder of the highway, as this was a, matter of government policy.
