W31 A NOTABLE ADMISSION The admission of, Stanley 'Burke, prefiflehtiof. the, .it?. Packers and prominent in the Peace River Outlet Association in Vancouver that the outlet of the Peace River country would be at Prince Rupert was a notable one. While it was not a considered statement but simply an aside it was intensely interesting to the people who heard it. It was given during the course of a "brief address at the banquet given last night in honor of the directors of the B. C. Packers, who were present. It bears out the views which have often been expressed in these columns. WHEAT VERSUS RICE Another interesting thing made clear at the banquet was that the high price oi wheat tends to injure, western pbrts because wheat was in direct competition wsh rice and if the price price ot of wheat wheat is is high high the Orientals dat the cheaper commodity. With the price of wheat low much Final CI more business can be done with the Orientland that natur-lally will help Prince Rert. in the past we have thought that what benefitted the farmer benefitted us but it may not always be so. While j we like to see the farmer prosperous there are compensations so far as we are concerned, if the- commodity he' sellsis low in price. ' i1 i'-1 the price of Wheat ; The speakers at the banquet last night, expressed 'the opinion tliat the price of wheat would go still lower than' it is today. That is an interesting expression of opinion and we sincerely hope it is not correct. If it goes lower than ; 90 cents the farmers will have a hard time. At any rate it indicates something of the trend of opinion on the outside, one from Winnipeg and the qther from , Vancouver, and will interest local people. HANSON'S MAJORITY There was considerable discussion around the city last night in regard to the article on Hanson's majority and it proved somewhat of an eye-opener to some of those interested in politics who had been basking in the sunshine of a former victory and relying on its reflected rays to carry them over the present campaign. The question chiefly discussed seems to have been how large would be Hanson's majority. Some were of opinion that it would be only a small one while others felt that the word picture in the Daily News was not at all overdrawn and that when the ballots were all counted the. Liberal candidate would be1 actually a thousand votes in the lead. At any rate the trend of public feeling is toward Hanson just now and if nothing happens to change it, he seems to be practically assured of election by a substantial majority. i TRADE BOARD NOMINATIONS Many Are In Field For Offices In Stewart Body Secretary Only One Elected Hy STEWART, July 18: The Stewart Board of Trade has made the following nomination for 1930-31 r fleers: Presient Howard Campbell and $.

Daily FREDERICKS' STATEMENT I'cacc River Editor Has No Doubt About Early Construction' of Railway Outlet (Vancouver Province) "Peace River is coming ahead as never before. Its prospects never were so good. Newcomers are arriving In the Country too rapidly. I dont mean that we are getting too many good settlers that would be Impossible. But we are getting a proportion of the wrong class of people, who hardly have a remote chance of making good." In these words, Mr. C. W. Fredericks, leading newspaper proprietor of the Peace River district, summarized the situation. After spending several days In Vancouver, he left for home at Peace River, Alta., last nlgM. With unbounded faith In the land of his adoption, Mr. Freericks at the same time wished to issue a warning. It is not the first time he has said, "Be Careful." The lure of Peace River Is a real factor In the colonizing of that Interesting country, but 70U must make real preparations If you would go there and succeed. "New settlers should have outfits and money sufficient to carry them two to three years," said Mr. Fred-erlcks.'Vho deplored the dashing in of people who virtually became dependent upon the community two days after their arrival. Mr. Fredericks feels certain that In the Peace, as perhaps in other parts of Western Canada, the tendency during the next few years will be away from wheat and toward mixed farms. The Peace Is admirably suited for coarse grains, hogs and dairying these will be the dominant products of the country as Mr. Fredericks looks at the picture a decade hence. Coast Outlet Certain No doubt exists in Mr. Freder icks' min concerning the construe- ;the organization of a new yn tloa ff a roast outlet.
